Iron Bioavailability Is Raised To New Heights With Vitamin C
Iron is a difficult mineral to obtain enough of, and iron insufficiency is one of the most common deficits on the planet. While some of our iron requirements are satisfied endogenously (by breaking down our own red blood cells), we all require iron from external sources on a regular basis. And a significant portion of the population is lacking in iron, with 6.7 percent of U.S. children and 9.5 percent of U.S. women between the ages of 12 and 49 being iron deficient, and 5% of the adult population failing to take just five to eight milligrams of the mineral each day. According to research, depending on our gender and life stage, we require eight to 27 milligrams of iron every day.

For people living with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and other respiratory diseases, spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to create a healthy living space by eliminating the many common and often unseen lung irritants and hazards found in the home that can pollute the air we breathe.

History and Description of Vaccines and Herd Immunity
When discussing the history of vaccines, most people begin in 1796 with the invention of the direct predecessor to modern day vaccines.[1] However, the story actually “begins with the long history of infectious disease in humans, and in particular, with early uses of smallpox material to provide immunity to that disease.”[2] “Evidence exists that the Chinese employed smallpox inoculation (or variolation, as such use of smallpox material was called) as early as 1000 CE. It was practiced in Africa and Turkey as well, before it spread to Europe and the Americas.”[3]
