Salvator Giustra Quick Facts
Hello. I am currently a NYC Teaching Fellow, health researcher & computer scientist.
Previously, I was a clinical psychotherapist, evaluator & spent a few years directing a busy psychiatric clinic in New York.
I am the creator of 3 websites on health which have a basic theme.
They are all based on the idea that good health is based on simple, traditional, commonsense knowledge that research tends to support repeatedly.
No coincidence that my 3 interconnected sites advance the roles of water, exercise & natural products as crucial to our health.
I'm not opposed to the more complicated & esoteric approaches to health & treatment and I see the important role that orthodox medicine can play in health care. However, what good are cutting edge ideas, micronutrients that are in vogue & exotic foods if you don't have the basics down?
The basics are written into our collective DNA. We are designed to move, we need lots of healthy water, unprocessed foods, the bounty of the earth in the forms of vegetables, fruits & herbs. We need social contact, love, affiliation.
Nothing that I am presenting is new or particularly startling. But, taken as a whole, the effects of undertaking these basics can remake you & me. Yes, make us anew & better.
I hope to help motivate & educate my readers to improve their health &, by extension their minds & lives.

However, the question - “If my child is ADHD, how come he (she) can concentrate on video games?” - betrays a subtle misunderstanding of the condition. Brie
