Many people who are interested in Health Care Reform and Integrative Medicine are familiar with Gary Null’s publication, Death By Medicine, a compilation of various studies on the state of healthcare statistics in the US.

Pig Virus Contamination in Baby Vaccination for Rotavirus (NVIC/FDA/Science Direct)
Possible Oncogene (Science Direct)
The lymphoid, renal, pulmonary, and hepatic lesions of naturally occurring postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) affected pigs have been studied by means of immunohistology. The characteristics of lymphoid lesions in the present study strongly suggest an immunosuppressive effect of PMWS in affected […]

Hence, a one size fits all approach to dietary management has never made sense to any follower of functional or holistic […]
My comment:
