This was a tome of observations and natural applications that still apply to modern life today. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which has...
read moreSilver mercury contained fillings aka dental amalgams have been used for decades for filling cavities in rotting teeth. From children to the elderly this material is packed in teeth leaving a mouth full of silver which some believe, over time, can release mercury vapors and be harmful to human health.

One alcoholism medication aka an alcohol use disorder (AUD) drug, was recently tested for vision loss caused by macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa (which has similar symptoms to macular degeneration). Although more testing needs to be done, preliminary results look positive showing the potential for vision restoration down the line.

read moreIt is continually reported that the fight to cure macular degeneration proceeds at an unprecedented rate. The amount of clinical trials to research the wide range of causes this blinding disease may manifest from, is staggering. From the retina to the brain, scientists are especially honing in on age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This is because of the elongated time period it takes to accumulate into a serious condition. This way, even for now if a cure is not discovered, early treatment can be applied to slow it down. This is one of...

We are products of decades of marketing campaigns and now the cycle of obesity and diabetes is off the charts, particularly in the United States. Your kidneys are like the Zamboni of the body. A Zamboni is that giant machine driven over stadium ice venues which clears the ice of debris and smooths it out so it can be safely skated on. Without the Zamboni, the ice would be dirty and...

As a result, the crack in the division of communities and countries alike began to emerge. So much so that the amount of daily...
