Yet my doctors refused to accept anything other than somehow I had decided to acquire imaginary illnesses, since blood tests and examinations did not reflect any problem to them. As I developed osteoporosis, (confirmed by density testing) Type II Diabetes, multiple allergies, arthritis, and depression they treated each disease without ever considering they may all be related.

For the past fifteen years I have been unable to work due to chronic fatigue. In frustration I began to research health on the internet. As I collected information, I began to publish my research. As I began my research every site I visited was selling a product they claimed would heal anything. If they had any scientific research they would not provide a link so I could verify their claims. Eventually I learned about doctors who were publishing reports about herbs and discovered that many had proven ability to cure or treat many diseases. I learned that this research often takes up to 20 years to go from the lab to the patient.

As my research evolved, the evidence of individual diseases having a couple of common sources was overwhelming.

First; The researchers were reporting about a disease often referred to as Metabolic Stress. It is also known as Metabolic Mayhem, Oxidation, Oxidative Stress, Kappa B and others. Many reports linked this to almost every disease.

Second: Eventually I learned that I am Celiac and going on the Celiac diet eliminated my former depression and seems to be reducing many of my other health problems. The interesting thing about Celiac Disease is that its symptoms are practically the same as the medical book's definition for hypochondria. Its symptoms include all of my symptoms as well as many others. It is reported that more than 30% of Caucasians may have this disease. Since that is similar to the incidences of depression, diabetes and similar diseases, could they be related to Celiac?

Herb and herbs are remarkable and are often the fundamental discovery used for prescription drugs. The drug companies cannot patent an herb so they remove some compounds, add others and patent it as a new compound. This altered compound is less stable than the original and often is a toxic poison. Then the drug companies lobby congress and tell them and us that the original herb is dangerous to get it removed from our access to buy it. My site has hundreds of research reports by medical doctors and medical research laboratories all over the world that prove some herbs are thousands of times better than altered drugs. This wonderful information is being obscured and kept from our doctors as well as us. The most blatant example of this is that 15 years ago Purdue University published a report that PawPaw Root an herb will kill prostrate cancer 100 million times better than the leading chemo drug. Yet instead of recommending it Oncologist are cutting, radiating and administering life threatening chemo. This would seem OK it it were not that many other universities and labs have proven Purdue's findings. PawPaw is not the only herb that is reported to cure prostrate cancer. If that were not enough the research states it has no negative side effects. So why are our doctors not using it? There is a long explanation of why and what is happening, but the short explanation is the medical industry cannot make a profit with herbs. That is the mission of herb discovery to counter the lies the medical industry is using to keep us away from herbs.

That is why I do not collect the alternative or traditional history about herbs. I collect only proven medical science to show that the herb will do what the research proves. You will not find any speculation or unfounded claims on my sites and everything will have links to the research so you can see it for yourself.
