The change in weather brings with it a surge in infectious illnesses, while the hustle and bustle of the holidays disrupt healthy routines. Then there’s the added stress that weakens our immune systems. Is it time to consider Immune System Therapy in Tampa, FL? Fueling that stress is the likelihood that if you really need to see a healthcare professional, their availability is reduced due to scaled-back holiday hours.

Conventional medicine and big pharma are losing the battle against type 2 diabetes. The latest evidence of this comes in the form of a Reuters analysis of provisional death data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Just recently, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported that the red tide organism — Karenia brevis — was measured at bloom concentrations in southwest Florida. And in early October, it was recorded at background levels in northwest Florida. Red tide blooms are not an uncommon sight for those of us who reside in Tampa. Such blooms occurred over the course of 14 months in 2017-2018 and were apparent in 17 months in 2005-2006.
