Here’s an article from a while back that’s worth reviewing today. Our lives are the products of a lifetime of deficiencies or excesses mixed with genetics, beginning before we were born. We can grow up with too little nutrients or too many toxins. In attempts to understand how brains grow into adult brains with…

For these individuals, life changes from one with sporadic stresses to one in which nearly everything becomes a source of stress. Not only do those with PTSD find…
While the mantra that ‘correlation does not equal causation’ remains quite true in medicine, we mustn’t forget that correlation does suggest connection, and connection sometimes turns out to be causation.
