by Amy Myers, M.D. Have you gone “number two” today? Yesterday? The day before that?

Th1 and Th2 Cytokine Advanced Test Panel For those with a confirmed autoimmune condition, the Th1 Th2 test is possibly the most important test.

A few months ago a story in The New York Times revealed the newly discovered importance of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP).

by Mark Hyman, MD Last Updated April 17, 2015 Last week I described a condition with symptoms so severe that you can’t leave the house, yet many doctors call it a “functional” or “psychosomatic” disease, suggesting it’s all in your head.

Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Calcium may well be the world’s most popular nutritional supplement. Osteoporosis has almost nothing to do with a deficiency of calcium.

By Mark Hyman, M.D. November 21, 2014 Most of us have felt the urge, the unstoppable craving driving us to seek out something sweet and devour it in a flash. That uncontrollable yen for cookies, cake or ice cream or that whole basket of bread calling to us to finish it off. Why do you […]
Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Depression is considered the most dreaded condition of mankind. What makes depression so awful is the sad fact that it is the one disease devoid of hope in the minds of many who suffer with this global epidemic.
