A Super Interesting Difference Between Men and Women

Female Health, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Aspirin Prevents Cancer… But There Is A Much Safer Way

Grounding, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Yet another study reports that long term aspirin use is associated with a reduced risk of death from all causes… …and specifically a reduced risk of death from cancer.
