Using Quinine to Prevent Coronavirus is Really BAD Advice

Unethical to Require COVID Vaccination in College Students
More than 450 U.S. colleges and universities are mandating that all students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before the fall 2021-22 semester. This is both unethical and dangerous.

Keto Approved Foods
I’ve been living and teaching patients about using a low-carb/ketogenic and carnivorous lifestyles for over 16 years. I get thousands of questions each month about what to eat.
