This is very similar to Western Medicine, where we look for homeostasis in the physiology of the body, like blood pressure and the PH in the blood. We are now going from the high energy and carefree attitudes of summer (Yang in nature) to the more serious and introspective energies (Yin) that are...

More Evidence to Support Primary Prevention in Breast Cancer

Our genes have not changed in the past 30 years, but...
