How much I weighed doesn't matter. It was too much for me, my height, my age and my body type ( I was not a body builder so I hardly had that excuse).So how did it come to be that someone who has extensive training in nutrition and... 10/23/2018 7:00:00 AM

by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
IntroductionWhen it comes to breast cancer, the worst thing we can do is put 100% blind faith in the medical establishment. To be blunt, there is simply too much money and too many jobs hanging on the highly profitable BUSINESS of diagnosing and treating breast cancer. The profits (and job security) are so high, in fact, as to explain why it seems as if there is more an impetus to treat breast cancer... 10/13/2018 7:00:00 AM
