Medication: Take with Questions!

Follow these general tips to help set up an ergonomic work station: – The top of your monitor should be at or just below eye level. – Your keyboard should be centered in front of you. – Wrists should be flat and straight. – Your upper back should be fully supported. – Feet should be flat on the floor.

Dietary changes, strategic supplementation and stress management are usually required to fully restore a functional environment in which your own micro-flora can replenish and rebalance itself. If you’ve been taking probitoics for years it’s time to rip off the bandaid and heal the imbalance that the probiotics have been sweeping under the rug.
