(VIDEO) Gut bacteria and the human mind

This video was an hour long, but it was worth watching!



A great way to look at it: genes and who we are (nature) is important, but just as important is how we live (nurture) and co-exist in the world and with all the animals and microorganisms on the planet.

Case fatality rate comparisons

Worth watching!



Near the end of the video, this doctor talks about the phrase "healthy" and mentions a statistic that about 50 percent of all normal-weight, non-obese adults are truly healthy. In general, only about 12 percent of American adults are truly "healthy"


This video was on ABC News in late October. Worth watching! 


As I have said in other blog posts...low Vitamin D levels are BAD for you! But I also want to repeat that you can take too much Vitamin D, and that is ALSO bad for you!


AND this is from early October...a four minute long video


Have we gotten the message yet on Vitamin D?

Sound medical advice for at-home COVID-19 care

I thought this doctor provided some very helpful tips for at-home COVID-19 care. This advice can certainly be used for influenza cases as well.



The biggest goal is to keep moving! I remember when I was hit by what was very likely COVID-19 last February, I felt like I had a 40-pound bag of feed laying on my chest. For one full day I layed on my back. In hindsight, that was not the correct response to what I was going through. It felt surreal, losing my taste and having a very tight chest. Luckily I kicked it after two days of rest at home.
