Any natural approach to cardiovascular disease is going to take homocysteine into account an ensure adequate intake of folic acid, Vit B6 and Vit B12.

Affecting heart disease, neurological disorders (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s..), fertility and spontaneous abortions, cervical cancer and now colon cancer. This list just […]
