Years ago, liver disease carried a terrible stigma.
When someone had it, it was assumed they had a drinking problem. And back then, alcoholism was often viewed as a failure of character rather than the disease that it is.
Today, more Americans than ever have liver disease. But for the vast majority, it has nothing to do with alcohol.
The statistics are terrifying…
More than 30% of Americans have the most common form of liver disease.
A packed plane seems like the last place you’d want to be during the pandemic.
Distancing is impossible. It’s difficult to avoid high-touch surfaces like tray tables and seat arms that could harbor the coronavirus. And although the cabin air is filtered, how much virus is floating around is anybody’s guess.

This fall’s allergy season is like none other.

Nasal irrigation is a natural solution that not only relieves allergy and sinus symptoms, but a medical journal examining its potential against coronavirus recently concluded that it also may also “offer a ray of hope” during the pandemic.
There is no shortage of products to help you quit smoking. There are chewing gums, patches, nasal sprays, and lozenges. There are anti-craving pills and filter systems. There are even apps to provide emotional and educational support.
But when smokers want to quit, chances are they won’t use any of these.

Vaping is by far the most popular way Americans try to kick the habit.
