West Nile? What type of deadly virus? #60

I recovered from a deadly virus. Here is a testimonial of a remarkable turn-around in health for Connie. She was extremely ill and had been sent away from several health care providers without being diagnosed. Many thought she was near death with theories of West Nile Virus, or some unknown virus.

In the Mood for Food

There is a lot of confusion about what food is good to eat. Here are the top 10 foods you should try to eat. Americans should avoid taking their cues from the USDA’s food pyramid, which is the product of interest-group politics.

The Road to Optimal Health

The road to optimal health is straight, but still confusing. It makes sense and yet we are tempted from all different angles. Most lifestyle changes, especially ones dealing with health and nutrition, can be quite overwhelming. This is because they are usually counter-cultural—they go “against the grain” of society.
