For example, Vitamin C does not really prevent cancer, Gingko Biloba does not prevent Alzheimer's disease, Glucosamine has no proven benefit over placebo in arthritis, and Fish oil (despite its ability to lower triglyceride level) has never been shown to prevent heart attacks. Some vitamins (vitamin E) may even increase your chance o...

There can be many choices to make when it comes to finding ways to get healthier. Working with your medical doctor or provider is the first place to start. This is called conventional medicine. It is becoming more and more common for conventional medicine therapy to include alternative types of therapy. This is called "integrative therapy".

In addition, relatively low barometric pressure, low temperatures and precipitation can increase pain. Researchers aren't sure why this happens. They susp...
