The last two weeks have been a killer for all my patients with allergies. First it was the pine trees and then the oak trees that started dumping blankets of yellow dust on everyone’s cars. At first it is hard to tell if the stuffy nose and scratchy throat are just a virus trying to take […]
When I took pathology in Chiropractic school it was taught by a gentleman from India. He was a pathology professor at USC and was moonlighting by teaching at our little school.
