You've had the endoscopy. The ultrasound. The stool tests, maybe the same H. pylori test more than once. You still feel terrible, and the next offer on the table is a pill you're supposed to take forever.

I've developed protocol using safe and researched supplements, and have seen it's effectiveness in my clinic with over a decade of use.
Read moreAs a physician who focuses on the reasons why my patients become ill, I’ve come to appreciate just how much the environment around us impacts our health. Whether it is lead in our drinking water, mold in our air, or plastics in our food, it seems that wherever we turn we are confronted with yet another environmental threat.
