I was smart and very well-behaved. Therefore, I was "fine". ... Keep Reading >

How To Be A Food Detective
Before I tell you how to be an official food detective, and do a proper elimination diet, here's a little human history for you. Once upon a time, we ate whatever we could hunt, and we gathered lots of plants, some fruits, and some eggs. Fish and other water creatures were abundant.

There was a rhythm to life that was not stressful unless something was chasing ... Keep Reading >
