Billions With Nutrition Deficiency!?
Almost no one gets enough selenium. Officially, at least a billion — with a B — people have a selenium deficiency.1
But I suspect the numbers are much higher than that.
You can’t get enough selenium from food alone anymore. That’s true even if you eat a healthy, varied diet. And you can thank Big Agra for that.
With their harsh pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and single-crop strategy, these massive farms have stripped the nutrients out of the soil. No nutrients in the soil mean no nutrients in the food.
All of this makes it difficult — if not impossible — to get even some of the daily selenium you need to ...

Boost Your Thyroid Health With Natural Supplements
Your thyroid is under constant attack, and traditional doctors don’t have a clue how to fix it.
In fact, most physicians don’t even recognize the problem in the first place — especially when it comes to men. And that makes thyroid disease the most under-diagnosed condition in the country.
I’ve seen this play out for decades: People see a traditional doctor and get a thyroid test that measures levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone.
When doctors see a “normal” result, they’ll tell you there’s “nothing wrong” when you actually have a form of hypothyroidism.
But not the form you might think.
You could be on...

Secrets of Tibet ’s hot-spring snakes revealed
Jia-Tang Li knows firsthand how tough life can be on the Tibetan Plateau. The air at 4500 meters is so thin that just a few steps take one’s breath away.
