Modern medical care has become a giant industry. Instead of being focused on you, it’s focused on an inexhaustible appetite for ever-increasing profits. Everyone respects the good people searching for cancer cures. But the accelerating cost of cancer drugs?

“Is it OK to take supplements during chemotherapy or radiation?” As an integrative physician who specializes in cancer, this is the most common question I hear. It’s an important area to explore, with the potential to make a significant difference in outcome. But with all the conflicting opinions among experts, many people skirt the issue altogether. That’s too bad, because they’re foregoing the interactions between supplements and conventional cancer treatments…
Studies of parents show that their behavior, even before their children are born, can influence their offspring’s health into adulthood and middle-age. Among these behaviors, there’s an important factor that affects children’s chances of having diabetes. Which means it can affect your chance of diabetes as an adult.
