Cholesterol Re-Visited – Policosanol
Thanks to my med school classmate, Dr. Sheldon Steiner for reminding me of policosanol. This naturally occurring health-enhancing nutrient has moved to the top of my list!

Castor Oil Uses And Benefits – The Palma Christi

ENHANCING IMMUNITY – AVOIDING FLU

The BASICS of BIOGENICS – Healthy Lifestyle Habits

Initially, this included a major ”software” program for biofeedback and cassette tapes of a number of the mental exercises from the book.

YOUTHFUL AGING: SECRET OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Of course, they have not caught up yet with the need to give 3 intradermal shots for optimal immunity! The JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION in 2000 reported that the […]
