Multivitamins Won’t Help You
Multivitamins won’t help you…fly. Or cliff dive. They won’t help you leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Combating The Terror of Chronic Disease, and Vice Versa
We have seen triumphs, and we have seen disasters, but we certainly see no end in sight. This somber conclusion took me back to my impressions as a medical resident, training in Internal Medicine, in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
