If you're male and over the age of 20, the best time to get serious about taking care of your prostate gland is now.

A Way To Break Down Spike Protein?

Over the past year, I've had a number of people ask if there is a natural way to help break down spike protein.

I've been finding that people in the midst of an infection as well as those experiencing troublesome symptoms following vaccination have been responding well to taking proteolytic enzymes. One of the primary ingredients in our proteolytic enzyme blend is nattokinase, an enzyme derived from fermented soybeans that is effective in breaking down fibrin. Read more

Healthy vs. Unhealthy Fats and Oils

After graduating from chiropractic school, I made my way to a small Inuit village at the northern tip of Alaska to begin my first practice as a chiropractor. One of the most impressive memories I have of my time in northern Alaska was watching the natives haul a 20-foot whale onto the beach and divide the “muktuk” (whale blubber) into three by three sheets, one per family. I learned that the natives chopped these sheets of whale blubber into small pieces, about the size of small grapes, to be eaten raw and sometimes dipped in seal oil.
