• Some very interesting medical news for consideration!

According to Chen-Hui Chen, from Duke, University,  “The human body has some limited regenerative abilities such as the liver.  When part of the liver is removed or destroyed, the remaining portion grows to the original size and allows the liver to function as it did before.  The medical term for this is “compensatory hypertrophy.”

Our kidneys, pancreas, thyroid, adrenal glands, and lungs will also compensate for organ loss.

• When taking antibiotics pay attention to these tips.

Avoid dairy products such as butter, cheese, and milk.

Drink lots of water.
