Do you feel like we do?

Do you feel tired in the morning? Are your emotions uneven? Are you easily frustrated? Do you have allergies, chronic pain, headaches or skin issues? Have you lost your hair, gone gray or do you have more wrinkles than you think you should?

Americans are living to about 79 on average. But what is the quality of our life in the last five years? Our food system SUCKS. Our healthcare system promotes testing, drugs and procedures, and addresses symptoms instead of healing.
