Let me share with you my knowledge and understanding about antibiotics. Plus, I would like to give you an amazing recipe for the strongest chemical free antibiotic. I will start with the fact that at least 50% of all antibiotics prescribed by doctors are unnecessary. They prescribe them too easily and for cases when we don't even need them. I had so many examples of visiting doctors with some minor issue and they would say something like, "I could prescribe you antibiotics fo

The myth about importance of milk in our diet goes back to the beginning of the 1900's when the National Dairy Council offered USDA a handsome sum of money for their support and offered free milk for schools.

In this article I will break the myth about alkalizing fruits. After 8 weeks of complete body cleansing decided to make a research on the list of fruits which are widely promoted as highly alkalizing. I was eating only one kind of fruit each day.

During this experiment I made pretty interesting discoveries and must say that I have always supported the fruitarianism (fruit only diet) as the healthiest and the best diet on Earth.
