In a conversation with a new patient last week I made a comment about myself and my stance with life that clarified feelings that I have had a hard time putting into words.

The latest article I came across says that it may be a messed up gut bacteria problem that is the basic cause behind fibromyalgia. These same critters are found to be our main […]
I was reading an article about the observations of an AIDS doctor back in the 80’s. A critical observation he made clicked in my mind and tied several pieces that had been floating around for years about the essence of our immune system.
