What Are Your Symptoms Trying To Tell You?

Most people think the current symptoms they are experiencing ARE their problem, be it pain or some other dysfunction.

So when they take a drug made form petroleum or a surgical procedure to alleviate the symptom they they think the problem is gone. Not so, they are simply masking the symptom and not dealing with the actual issue thats CAUSING their symptom (with the exception of symptoms caused by traumatic injury)

Why Optimal Digestion is Essential for Vibrant Health.

When I ask new patients how their digestion is, their immediate response is often “oh it’s good”, without even missing a beat.
