They may temporarily ease your pain, but they can also cause ulcers and other gastrointestinal woes. So, what if I told you [...]

Nature’s Most Potent Stress Buster? is a post from: NaturalHealthSherpa.com

Nature’s Most Potent Stress Buster? is a post from: NaturalHealthSherpa.com It sounds like something out of National Geographic: On a remote South Pacific island, villagers form a circle. Some members of the group chew small pieces of a root, spit them into a bowl, and then add coconut milk.

America’s #1 Weight Loss Supplement? is a post from: NaturalHealthSherpa.com

America’s #1 Weight Loss Supplement? is a post from: NaturalHealthSherpa.com If you watch TV, read magazines, or surf the Internet, you’ve probably seen advertisements for what manufacturers claim is “America’s #1 weight-loss supplement.” If something’s so popular, it has to be good, right?

But there just isn’t a lot of good clinical evidence that it actually helps people lose weight. Plus, hydroxycitrate may promote liver damage – depending on whom you ask. So does [...]

And while you may not want to eat a bushel of apples (or onions, for that matter) every day, you can [...]
