Break free from food stress
Last week I had two wonderful people come into the clinic who had been following certain dietary paradigms for a number of years, respectively. One had been vegan, the other had done keto. Both were ready to give it the shove because they felt like it hadn’t been working for them. I can’t tell you…

Symptoms can include fatigue, tiredness, exhaustion, constipation, low body temperature (feeling cold all of the time), hairloss, dry skin, cognitive impairment, menstrual abnormalities, weight gain and hairloss on the outer third of the eyebrows..

Cell Danger Response; Why Methylation might not be something to tamper with, and why Naturopathic Medicine makes sense

The Shikimate pathway is an enzymatic process used by bacteria, fungi, algae and plants, in order to make Folate.

Glyphosate was deliberately made to BLOCK the Shikimate pathway, and…
