Our Blog Anecdotes and Antidotes informs about 2 things:
Anecdotes
Our ‘Anecdotes’ are discoveries we have made clinically. After more that 2 decades of practice and nearly 150,000 patient interactions, we have found uniformity within health care. These include diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep, aging, posture, movement, etc. These findings are not discovered during a lab study, but are uncovered using practical experience.
Antidotes
Our ‘Antidotes’ are discoveries that have been researched and published. Recommendations can be trusted when based on findings that are subjected to rigorous scrutiny. We use this knowledge as an antidote to age related decay, degeneration, poor health.
When we combine these into our blog: anecdotes & antidotes, we get a clear path toward better health.

Health Care vs Disease Care
Health Care vs Disease Care: two very different things. Although the difference is subtle, it is significant. Let's use a simple analogy to demonstrate health care vs disease care.
