Have you tried bone broth fasts, cut out all carbs, bought expensive probiotics, or followed the latest gut health “hack”… only to feel the same (or worse)?

You’re not alone.

Most gut healing advice on blogs, videos, and even from some practitioners is based on trends, not science.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll discover:
  • The trendy “natural” supplement that could be wrecking your gut
  • Why probiotics can be a waste of money (unless you know this one thing)
  • The microbiome’s connection to energy, mood, and even Alzheimer’s
  • 5 proven hallmarks of a healthy gut microbiome

Dr. Crandall: Extreme Heat Can Trigger Heart Attacks, Strokes

By Sandy Fitzgerald

Dr. Chauncey Crandall, renowned cardiologist and author of "The Simple Heart Cure," "The Simple Heart Diet" and "Heart & Health Alert," told Newsmax that extreme summer heat poses serious risks to cardiac health.

Crandall, speaking to "Newsline" from Florida, emphasized that both excessive heat and cold can adversely impact the body, particularly in older adults.

Editor’s Note: Discover Your Risk for Heart Disease in Minutes With This Simple Test – Click Here

"We are seeing many patients come in with heart issues — heart attacks, arrhythmia, even strokes — during this hot weather," added Crandall, director of preventive medicine at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida.

Crandall, whose work centers on heart disease prevention and early detection, explained that the body's ability to regulate temperature weakens with age, increasing vulnerability to heat-related illnesses.

Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This

He highlighted several dangers posed by hot weather, including dehydration, blood pressure drops, electrolyte imbalances and thickened blood — all of which raise the risk of cardiac events.

To minimize danger, Dr. Crandall recommended avoiding outdoor activities during peak heat hours, staying hydrated and dressing appropriately. "I usually walk every morning," he said, "but if you get out past 9 a.m. here in Florida, it's a rough day for you."

Editor’s Note: Doctor: 4 Signs Your Heart Is Quietly Failing

Dr. Crandall also pointed to a sobering statistic: Nearly half of those who die from heart attacks each year never exhibited symptoms beforehand. He urged people to take advantage of simple and widely available heart screenings, either through their primary care physician or via online tools like the Simple Heart Test, to assess risk early.

His newsletter, Heart & Health Alert, currently features heart safety strategies for summer as its lead story. "It's perfect timing," said Crandall, reiterating the importance of proactive care amid extreme weather.

There’s one big problem with inflammation that you won’t hear often.

Finding out if you have it, most of the time, requires some detective work.

Some signs can be obvious: redness, swelling, or feeling hot to the touch.

But some of the signs can mimic other conditions and can be too subtle to notice.

In fact, symptoms like eczema, psoriasis, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, depression, arthritis, brain fog, and joint issues all point to one underlying cause…

Chronic inflammation.

So many people are not even aware they have any inflammation until they run lab tests!

👉 And do you know the biggest driver of chronic inflammation? A dysfunctional gut!

Jimi - These symptoms are alarm bells of your body letting you know that something is not right in your gut. And if you continue to ignore your gut health, these inflammatory symptoms will only progress until you’re forced to stop and listen.

Unfortunately, most people don’t know how to stop inflammation in its tracks.

That’s why today, I’m inviting you to watch this new masterclass called Microbiome.

Created by the Goodness Lover Team (creators of ‘The Gut Solution’, ‘The Gut-Brain Solution’ & ‘The Gut-Immune Solution’), this masterclass is a stunning and practical solution to the onslaught of inflammation.

Over 27+ leading scientists will give you the latest natural protocols to halt—and even reverse—the chronic ‘death loop’ of inflammation in your body through your gut.

This is something that natural health practitioners have been sounding the alarm about for decades, but only now is the mainstream scientific community jumping on board.
​

So don’t miss what could be a life-saving event for you and your loved one.

Hello Jimi,

Microplastics is a term that has only recently become highlighted in mainstream health and wellness media, and emerging research suggests it may be one of the biggest threats to human health we're currently facing.

New studies have found microplastic levels in human brain tissue increased by 50% between 2016 and 2024, with concentrations significantly higher than in other organs.​
​
In the latest episode of the Gordon Medical Forum Podcast, Dr. Nafysa Parpia discusses the latest microplastics research with environmental medicine expert Dr. Lyn Patrick. They review current studies on health impacts, examine the primary exposure sources in daily life, and discuss practical reduction strategies, including alternative containers, water filtration, and dietary changes.

Dr. Patrick also covers emerging research on potential treatments like plasmapheresis and explains why simple avoidance measures may be the most effective approach for reducing ongoing exposure.

Using Cancer to fight Cancer
by Tulsy Ball, Founder of Chagit
Cancer. It is one of the most feared words in our vocabulary, so frightening that in polite conversation, it is often spoken of in whispers. A word that the last 120 years of medical diagnosis programming has taught us, is synonymous with death. But it is also a fact of life and fear is counter-productive in the fight against it. What we need is the power of belief that healing is always possible. Through prayer and hope, God will guide us along our paths, and show us His way. One of His gifts he has given us in this battleground is actually a form of cancer, but it’s not a human cancer, it is cancer of the birch tree.

Chaga; Scientific Name – Inonotus Obliquus, is also known as birch conk, canker, or cancer. Chaga is a member of the kingdom fungi, a mushroom, but it is unlike most⁣ mushrooms that we are familiar with. It has a history of ancient use as traditional medicine by the tribes of Alaska, Canada, Siberia and Scandinavia, as well as Chinese, Ayurvedic and Greek medicines. Chaga is a truly remarkable organism and the part that we harvest and use is not the mushroom itself, but rather a tumor from the tree.⁣

The Chaga mushroom is inside the heartwood of the birch tree as an infection or invasion and the canker that is harvested, is an expression of the battle between the host birch tree and that fungal invader. The tree’s immune system reacts to the chaga by assaulting it with powerful botanical compounds, but the chaga reacts by converting those compounds and then storing them far away from battle, on the trunk of the tree.⁣
This knot of concentrated botanicals from the tree’s immune system, is what is better known to us and to science as chaga. Native tribes believe that it is a root medicine, a gift from God and they may be right.⁣

Tests have shown that the chemical makeup of the chaga conk is almost 85%⁣ genetically derived from the birch tree and only 15% from the mushroom itself and the compounds derived from the birch tree are those with most healing potential. Among them are chaga’s unique triterpenoids like betulinic acid, inotodiol, trametenolic acid and⁣ lanosterol. These compounds have been studied for their potential benefits and been shown in hundreds of studies across the globe to help fight against cancer. In a recent study, a chaga extract showed effectiveness in eliminating cancer cells in vitro, against 8 out of 10 of the most common forms of human cancer, including breast, lung, liver, colorectal and prostate.

I have been fortunate enough to witness some remarkable stories of people’s perseverance against cancer, including in my own family and chaga has been a major part of their healing journeys. While fear is an inevitable fact of life when faced with cancer, it is also a fact that only through fighting back against that fear, can we have any hope of defeating it. Through God’s grace and with His gifts, we have the best chance to win the fight and chaga is one of His greatest gifts.

MY HEALTH ALLIANCE

Know Your Vitamin D Level​

If your vitamin D level is below 40, your health may be in danger—and if you’re pregnant, your growing baby’s health may be at risk too.
Vitamin D insufficiency is linked to multiple conditions including bone, respiratory, and cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and cancer. People who keep their vitamin D levels up have fewer emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and ICU admissions–for any reason, including due to COVID-19.
Ensuring everyone gets enough is one of the most inexpensive ways to insure mother and babies health andreduce health care costs, but one dose does not fit all when it comes to vitamin D. Testing is the only way to know.
You can do something good for your health by getting your own vitamin D levels tested and using your level to calculate your personalized dose. Also, a portion of the test proceeds will go to the My Health Alliance Lobby Day (described below) advancing our mission to promote health and wellness.
Vitamin D: Test Your Level to Support the My Health Alliance Lobby Day
A decade ago, frustrated by the infiltration of the “natural” sector by the genetic engineering industry, the Organic Consumers Association joined the Organic & Natural Health Association as a founding member.
Over the last ten years, we’ve made considerable progress. Unlike before, most people now know that foods made with Monsanto’s Roundup Ready GMO corn, canola, soy, and sugarbeets aren’t “natural.” But, new threats loom. Fake “milks” and “meats” made from genetically modified microbes in industrial “precision fermentation” factories are entering the “natural” market with the “plant-based” trend.
The Organic & Natural Health Association is redoubling its efforts, hosting a September 10th My Health Alliance Lobby Day reception on Capitol Hill for Members of Congress to focus on the crucial issue of vitamin D deficiency.
We will be asking congress for policy reform to ensure providers monitor pregnant mothers’ vitamin D levels—when most are deficient—given that measuring is the only way to know, and ensuring adequate levels is a low-cost way to improve newborn health and reduce costs these reforms should include:
  • Prenatal clinical guidelines
  • Insurance reimbursement policies
  • Provider education
  • Public awareness
TAKE ACTION: Invite Your Member of Congress to the My Health Alliance Lobby Day Reception

BILLIONS AGAINST BAYER

The Cancer Patient Who Inspired French Movement To Block Reintroduction of Pesticide​

Kim Willsher, The Guardian:
“In the day French MPs gave themselves a round of applause for approving legislation to reintroduce a banned pesticide last month, a figure rose from the public gallery to shout: ‘You are supporters of cancer … and we will make it known.’
Fleur Breteau made it known. Her outburst and appearance – she lost her hair during chemotherapy for breast cancer – boosted a petition against the ‘Duplomb law’ to well over 2m signatures.
On Thursday, France’s constitutional court struck down the government’s attempt to reintroduce the pesticide acetamiprid – a neonicotinoid banned in France in 2018 but still used as an insecticide in other EU countries as well as the UK – in a judgment that took everyone by surprise. The ruling said the legislature had undermined ‘the right to live in a balanced and healthy environment’ enshrined in France’s environmental charter.
‘We are living in a toxic world and need a revolution to break the chain of contamination in everything … If people don’t react we’ll find ourselves in a world where we cannot drink water or eat food that is uncontaminated, where a slice of buttered bread or a cup of tea poisons us. It will be a silent world, without animals, without insects, without birds.’”

FOOD SYSTEMS

Where Does Your Food Come From? First-Of-A-Kind Map Tracks Journey Across Thousands of Miles​

by Yvaine Ye, CU Boulder Today:
“If extreme rainfall wiped out all food growing in Jalisco, a Pacific coastal state in western Mexico, it would eliminate enough calories to feed 765,000 people in the United States. A widespread drought in the Brazilian state of Paraná could cut enough fat to meet the needs of more than 1.7 million people in Egypt. Western Australia’s next major heatwave could knock out enough protein to feed 8 million people in China.
These are some of many insights revealed by a newly launched interactive tool called the Global Food Twin. Developed by CU Boulder data scientist Zia Mehrabi and his collaborators at Earth Genome, a non-profit organization, the interactive digital map shows how food moves from farm to table. It offers a first-of-its kind view into the world’s highly connected and increasingly fragile food system.
‘This is a landmark effort, because no one’s ever done this at this scale and level of detail,’ said Mehrabi, assistant professor of environmental studies and founder of CU Boulder’s Better Planet Laboratory, which leverages data science to address some of the leading global environmental and human rights issues. ‘We’re able to represent the complexity of our food system, showing people a window into a world they haven’t seen before.’”

MEAT IS MEDICINE

The Nutritional Value of Animal-Based Foods: Challenging the Bias​

Sara Keough, Eco-Nutrition:
“Tufts University, through its Food Is Medicine Institute, has positioned itself as a leader in this space. However, its programs and recommendations heavily promote a plant-based diet—excluding meat, dairy, and eggs altogether. This same institution developed the Food Compass Score, which bizarrely rated foods like Frosted Mini Wheats as more nutrient-dense than beef.
Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise, has written extensively about the bias against animal foods in public health and nutrition science. She argues that many of the studies underpinning dietary guidelines are deeply flawed, often observational, and confounded by variables like socioeconomic status and lifestyle. Yet these same studies influence food policy and FIM program eligibility.
Dr. Frédéric Leroy, a professor of food science and biotechnology, has also been a powerful voice exposing the global anti-livestock agenda that increasingly shapes our food policy and public perception. His research highlights how a small network of ideologically driven organizations—often backed by corporate and philanthropic interests—has successfully influenced dietary guidelines in schools, hospitals, and government institutions. Through detailed investigations, Leroy has demonstrated how this movement infiltrates media narratives, academia, and global policy frameworks, promoting plant-based diets as a universal good while undermining the role of animal-sourced foods in sustainable and healthy food systems.”

Ziploc Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Microplastics Shedding Concerns​

Paige Bennett reports for EcoWatch:
“A new lawsuit is questioning the ‘microwave safe’ and ‘freezer safe’ claims of Ziploc plastic bags. The lawsuit against S.C. Johnson alleged that these claims for its Ziploc brand products are misleading, and that these uses of the products increase risk of exposure to microplastics.
According to the lawsuit documents, ‘Defendant affirmatively markets its Ziploc bags and containers (the ‘Products’) as ‘Microwave Safe’ and suitable for ‘Freezer’ use, creating the reasonable impression that they are fit for use in the microwave and freezer. In reality, these Products are made from polyethylene and polypropylene — materials that scientific and medical evidence shows release microplastics when microwaved and frozen — making them fundamentally unfit for microwave and freezer use. Relying on Defendant’s false misrepresentations, individuals have unwittingly exposed themselves and their families to undisclosed microplastics during routine kitchen practices.’”

BRAIN PROCESSES

What Neuroscience Says About Reading Versus Listening​

Stephanie N. Del Tufo, The Conversation:
“Whether reading a book or listening to a recording, the goal is the same: understanding. But these activities aren’t exactly alike. Each supports comprehension in different ways. Listening doesn’t provide all the benefits of reading, and reading doesn’t offer everything listening does. Both are important, but they are not interchangeable.

Your brain uses some of the same language and cognitive systems for both reading and listening, but it also performs different functions depending on how you’re taking in the information.
When you read, your brain is working hard behind the scenes. It recognizes the shapes of letters, matches them to speech sounds, connects those sounds to meaning, then links those meanings across words, sentences and even whole books. The text uses visual structure such as punctuation marks, paragraph breaks or bolded words to guide understanding. You can go at your own speed.
Listening, on the other hand, requires your brain to work at the pace of the speaker. Because spoken language is fleeting, listeners must rely on cognitive processes, including memory to hold onto what they just heard.”
Read how many people assume that listening is easier than reading, but how ‘easier’ is relative – and contextual

Hi,

Dr. C here.



I want to alert you to a recent move by the FDA that could affect millions of people taking natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) medications such as Armour Thyroid, NP Thyroid, and others.



On August 6, 2026, the FDA plans to take enforcement action against any manufacturer making NDT.



What you can do now:

A group of other experts and advocates and I have come together to help protect your medical freedom and ensure patient voices are heard.



Please join us.



➡ Register at ThyroidHealthAlliance.org to learn how you can get involved.



Why the FDA says they’re doing this:

  1. NDT is not formally FDA-approved
  2. Since 1968, there have been just over 500 reported adverse events
  3. They cite a theoretical risk of impurities or infections from animal-derived thyroid tissue
Here’s what the record actually shows:

  • NDT has been in use since 1891 and was grandfathered in when the FDA began regulating medications in 1938
  • FDA records show 2,851 adverse reactions for NDT since 1968 - compared to 76,557 for synthetic T4-only medications in the same timeframe
  • There has never been a documented case of infection or harm from impurities in NDT
What this could mean:

  • NDT could disappear entirely
  • Armour Thyroid may be the only brand left
  • Or nothing may change—but history suggests we should prepare for the worst
In my years of practice, I’ve seen many people feel far better on NDT than on T4 alone—and large studies confirm this isn’t unusual.



Please help

There is no legitimate reason for the FDA to take away natural thyroid. Millions of people will suffer unnecessarily.



I'm asking for your help even if this does not apply to you because medical freedom is at stake for all of us.



➡ Register at ThyroidHealthAlliance.org to stay informed and be ready to take action when needed.



I’ll keep you updated as this develops.



To your health,

The Lies Depression Tells Us with Betsy Stephenson​

What does it take to keep living — and loving — after the unimaginable? This is a conversation about loss — but even more, it’s about love, resilience, and the courage to keep saying yes to life.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Betsy Thibaut Stephenson — a seasoned crisis communications expert, mother of three, and author of the memoir Blackbird: A Mother's Reflections on Grief, Loss, and Life After. In 2022, Betsy’s world was shattered by a six-week wave of devastating loss, including the death of her 21-year-old son, Charlie, to suicide. What followed wasn’t a quest to “move on,” but a conscious decision to live honestly, feel everything, and find meaning in the aftermath.

We talk about the lies depression tells, the complexity of navigating family grief, and the deeply personal stories we craft in order to survive. Betsy shares what it means to relearn how to feel, to hold space for discomfort, and to open up to healing — one small “yes” at a time.

We also explore how spiritual growth, self-compassion, and even anxiety can become part of the long, often nonlinear path to peace.

Key Topics From This Week's Episode:​

🌿 The Story Behind Blackbird — Why Betsy wrote her memoir during the rawness of grief and how writing became part of her healing journey.
💔 Losing Charlie — A deeply personal account of her son’s final weeks, the shock of his passing, and making grief her “full-time job.”
🧠 The Lies Depression Tells — How depression can appear calm yet be relentless and powerful enough to override the survival instinct.
🙏 Faith and Personal Belief — How grief reshaped her spirituality and the comfort she finds in her own vision of the afterlife.
💖 Choosing Love, Even in Grief — Why extending compassion to yourself and others is both a challenge and a choice.

The Art of Tea
By Michelle Plastrik
A Chinese legend states that an emperor drank the first cup of tea in 2737 B.C. From China, tea spread throughout the Eastern regions of the Silk Road.

In the 17th century, Portuguese and Dutch traders brought tea to Europe. Tea drinking became a cultural phenomenon in the West, playing a pivotal role in society, including in the decorative and fine arts.​

You know that moment when an incredible opportunity lands in your lap, and instead of feeling excited, your first thought is: "What if I mess this up?"

Or when you accomplish something amazing, but that little voice whispers: "You just got lucky. They'll figure out you don't belong here soon enough."

It's not wisdom. It's not intuition.

It's self-doubt in disguise.

Here's what most people don't realize about self-doubt…

There's actually a healthy version and a destructive version.

Healthy self-doubt is like a gentle tap on the shoulder when you're about to do something genuinely risky without preparation. It says: "Hey, maybe learn a bit more about this first."

Destructive self-doubt? That's the voice that keeps you small even when you're more than ready to grow.

The 4 ways destructive self-doubt shows up:

1. The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy "I can't do this" becomes the reason you don't even try. And when you don't try, you "prove" yourself right. It's a vicious cycle where your limiting belief creates the exact evidence you need to keep believing it.

2. Self-Sabotage You don't prepare for the interview because if you fail, at least you can blame it on lack of preparation rather than lack of ability. Your mind would rather guarantee failure on your terms than risk discovering you might not be capable enough.

3. Imposter Syndrome You've achieved incredible things, but you're convinced it's all been luck and everyone's about to discover you're a fraud. Success feels terrifying because it means you have further to fall when people "find out" you don't belong.

4. The "Never Good Enough" Loop No matter what you accomplish, that voice says it could have been better, should have been more, wasn't quite right. You rob yourself of celebrating any wins because there's always something that could have been improved.

Sound familiar?

Here's what I've discovered after 30 years of working with clients.

All of these patterns trace back to one core feeling: "I'm not enough."

Maybe it started with overly critical parents who meant well but left you feeling like nothing you did was quite right.

Maybe it's the constant comparison trap of social media, where everyone else's highlight reel makes your real life feel inadequate.

Your mind isn't trying to hurt you. It's trying to protect you by keeping you in familiar territory, even when that territory is limiting.

The problem is, everything worth doing in life requires stepping into the unfamiliar.

Tomorrow, I'll share the three simple rules that can help you retrain your mind to become your greatest supporter instead of your harshest critic.

Because here's what I believe: you already have everything you need inside you. You just need to learn how to access it.

Marisa



P.S. Pay attention today to how often that "not enough" voice shows up. Don't judge it - just notice it. Awareness is always the first step to change.

If you’ve tried the pills, the diets, the protocols, and still feel stuck in the same loop, you’re not alone.

You want more energy, clearer thinking, and a body that feels like you again… but nothing seems to stick.

Here’s the truth: your body isn’t broken. It’s waiting for the right environment to do what it was designed to do - heal!

I know this firsthand. Years ago, I had a list of symptoms that felt like they were becoming my identity. I knew there had to be a way back to health, but I just didn’t know then what I know now.

Fast forward 40 years, and I feel better than I did in my 20s, because I made food and lifestyle choices that gave me back my health.

That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to Self-Heal Disease Naturally: Journey Into Raw Foods and Plant-Based Nutrition, a free online summit hosted by my friend Janett.

You’ll hear from more than 20 wellness experts, myself included, who’ve walked through fatigue, illness, and struggle, and emerged with more energy, resilience, and joy than we thought possible. We’ll share how we got there, and how you can too.

You’ll also hear from some of my colleagues you may already know and love, Dr. Gabriel Cousens, a pioneer in holistic healing and diabetes reversal, Karen Ranzi, an occupational therapist who has helped children with autism and other serious health issues using food as medicine, and Jennifer Whitmire, a plant-based wellness advocate with a gift for making healthy living doable and delicious.

You’ll discover how to:
  • Use whole food, plant-centered nutrition to trigger deep, lasting self-healing
  • Detox naturally while deeply nourishing your cells
  • Break free from emotional eating, overwhelm, and food confusion
  • Rebuild gut health, energy, and mental clarity
  • Shift limiting beliefs and create habits that stick
If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into a life where your body feels like home again, I’d love for you to join us.

To your unstoppable health,​
Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo, Founder
Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology​
P.S. This is more than a summit, it’s a map back to your healthiest self. Don’t wait.

This Protein-Packed Chicken Salad is one of my favorites, it’s simple to prep, keeps well for days, and is full of the nutrients your body needs to stay energized and satisfied.

Why chicken is a hormone-friendly choice

Chicken is a fantastic source of high-quality protein, which is essential for hormone production, muscle repair, and steady blood sugar throughout the day.

Pairing protein with healthy fats (like the avocado oil mayonnaise in this recipe) and fiber from fresh veggies helps you stay full and avoid energy crashes.

Eating enough protein—about 25–30g per meal—supports:

  • Stable blood sugar (fewer cravings + better mood)
  • Healthy muscle mass (important for metabolism)
  • Satiety (so you feel full and satisfied)
  • Hormone production (protein provides the building blocks for many hormones)

Hey, it's Dr. Nandi here...



Most people think memory problems start in your 70s…


But Harvard researchers just revealed they can begin decades earlier — especially for women.



Their findings show that during the transition to menopause, the brain’s primary fuel source changes.

This shift, along with drops in estrogen, can impact how brain cells connect, how memories are stored, and even how quickly you can retrieve the right word.



That’s why so many women report “brain fog” in their 40s and 50s, even if they feel healthy otherwise.



Now, the Harvard team says your brain can adapt…



But it needs the right environment.



And one of the biggest threats to that environment is something we all face: chronic stress.



Stress can disrupt the gut–brain connection in minutes…



Draining the very brain chemicals that help you focus, recall, and stay sharp.



Which means protecting your memory isn’t just about crossword puzzles or brain games…



It’s about supporting the systems that keep your brain resilient, starting with your gut.



Here’s how to create a brain-friendly environment — and start improving recall faster than you think >>

This might be the most shocking vaxx truth yet.
SEVENTEEN vaxxes have now been linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome...
A devastating nerve condition that can leave you completely paralyzed.
But here’s the really disturbing reality…
Despite all the research and studies that have been done.
The FDA has just approved a new meningococcal vaxx for babies as young as 6 weeks old!!
In one particular study, the meningococcal vaxx showed a SIGNIFICANT association with GBS…
But it gets worse…
More than 5.3% of infants in the trials had serious reactions.
PLUS, it was never tested against a placebo.
And they still called it "safe."
Let that sink in.
They injected babies with an untested vaxx...
Knowing that 1 in 20 would have serious reactions.
Our children aren’t the only ones at risk…
The vaxx linked to nerve damage include:
  • Flu shots (the one you get every year)
  • Shingles vaxx
  • HPV vaxx (given to teenagers)
  • Meningococcal vaxx (now for 6-week-old babies)
  • And 13 others...
What if that unexplained fatigue...
That mysterious joint pain...
Those neurological symptoms your doctor can't explain...
What if they're all connected?!

This is very interesting. Salt has long played a role in things we call magic or superstition, a pinch over the shoulder for luck; the gift of salt at a housewarming party, to keep bad spirits away, salt water taken for an ailment.

Like many things that have been dismissed as old wives tales, salt may be more important than we think. This is about sea salt and Himalayan salt, not epsom:
