Sadly, some natural agents can have deleterious, even devastating effects. Clearly, just because something is natural, doesn't mean it's good for you. In this short video, David DeRose, MD, MPH, provides insights that can help you avoid costly mistakes when it comes to natural herbs and supplements. Day 26's Challenge: Take careful inventory of any herbs, nutrients, or other supplements that you use regularly. Eliminate any that you are not certain are helping your blood fluidity and health in general.
