What can gorillas teach us?
All the gorillas were dying…
Over 50 years of trying to breed gorillas in zoos and nothing was working. It didn’t matter where they tried — San Diego, Cincinnati, St. Louis — not even the best zoos in the country could get these gorillas to reproduce.
They were facing extinction.
And everyone simply accepted that it was impossible to breed gorillas in zoos.
That was until one caretaker took a closer look at what the gorillas were eating. For decades, zoos fed the gorillas what they called gorilla biscuits.
But, on top of being unable to reproduce, the gorillas were developing diseases like heart disease,1 diabetes,...

Two weeks to bowel cancer?
There’s no doubt antibiotics have saved a lot of lives.
But because they’ve been overprescribed for so many years we’ve ended up with a slew of health problems.
For one thing, overuse of antibiotics wreaks havoc on your microbiome…
That’s your body’s ecosystem.
Your microbiome has 100 trillion or so bacteria, viruses and fungi. It affects just about every organ and body system.

The lights were dim and I didn’t see him coming.
“No, for real,” the guard added as he trotted back into the darkness, leaving me once again unmonitored in one of New York City’s most cavernous attractions.

For many years, mesothelioma patients have turned to alternative medicines like these as treatment options for the rare asbestos-related cancer.
Sometimes these options are a last resort, after traditional treatments fail. They may be used in conjunction with standard treatment (complementary medicine) or on their own as the main approach.
But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued warning letters to companies that manufacture or market products claiming to prevent, di...
