Sluggish Water Pipes! Dealing with Lymph Congestion

You may be asking yourself: What is lymph? When I talk about lymph congestion, most people think I’m talking about either nasal congestion or lymph nodes, but […]
Invasion! Dealing with the Onslaught of Candida Yeast
One of the conditions I need to clear up, according to both Dr. Rogers and Dr. D’Antonio, is the start of a Candida yeast invasion.
