Herxheimer reactions can cause symptoms to flare during mold detox when toxins are released faster than the body can eliminate them. This article explains why die-off reactions occur, how to distinguish them from setbacks, and why structured, practitioner-guided detoxification improves outcomes.
Read MoreWhy is America the sickest developed nation despite spending the most on healthcare? This article examines how profit-driven, symptom-based “sickcare” replaced root-cause healing—and why functional, holistic, and lifestyle medicine offer a better path forward.
Read MoreBreathing is automatic—but how you breathe plays a critical role in oral health, sleep quality, inflammation, and whole-body regulation. Chronic mouth breathing is linked to dry mouth, cavities, gum disease, disrupted sleep, and reduced nitric oxide production, while nasal breathing supports a balanced oral microbiome, efficient oxygen delivery, and nervous system regulation. Understanding the impact of nasal breathing is a foundational step toward improving both oral and overall health.
