Personal health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Just think about that and then read the last post
I love the concept of Health Literacy. I am very fortunate to have grown up with home grown veggies and fruit from our own trees. Mind you, I didn't think so at the time. I might have gone off the rails for a while as a young adult but the always knew what was right and made my way back to it. Simple real food.
Dr. B - just found your site and am thrilled with your perspective on Personal Health Literacy! You certainly nailed the first long-standing half of the issue! I have lost hours upon hours of reading through the endless opinions and suggestions for best health, only to be left entirely confused on what to actually do - which in turn, typically leads to no action at all - because you cannot, with any confidence, pursue the most effective or even correct course of action. In the end, my husband and I still suffer from the same problems we’ve been seeking to correct for the past couple of years. Indeed, this has been the main obstacle - that is, until the infamous pandemic disaster, which was met by total and complete medical incompetency combined with pure diabolical deceit. However, even that loss of solid, reliable medical advise and treatments (ie: a defective, harmful vaccine), and weak doctors falling under government censorship, could have been successfully navigated through, were it not for Big Brother smothering any dissenting voices, robbing us all of our inherent freedoms to seek out trustworthy input, and as a result, without anywhere to turn for expert advise we could freely discern and apply with our own individual critical thinking skills. Of course, such was their plan. It is my sincerest hope that you plan to cut through all the noise and nonsense to provide those very fact based, tested details of actual helpful information that you refer to in your writings. Because faith in the medical profession is waning at a rapid pace unless the truly talented, exceptional MD’s continue to step forward with life enhancing data we can use. Hoping to have found another one in you that I can add to my light list! God Bless!
I am all about evidence, facts, research, science and the truth. I accept no advertising and have no conflicts. I try to explain medicine in plain English so that people like you can solve their health problems and stay healthier longer.

That's the ticket!
It pays to be in the know - our lives depend on it. Thank you for providing that opportunity - day after day.
Thanks for being there. Spread the word. We can have better health at lower cost, and soon. We need to know the facts and turn up the heat.
Absolutely love your articles
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
