What is Nutritional Medicine?
Nutritional Medicine is a fast growing area of modern medicine having been belatedly recognised by doctors as important. A good diet is a potent preventative.
An example of this is the commonly used Cranberry juice to prevent cystitis. Research has shown that cranberry reduces bacterial adherence to the bladder wall, allowing the natural exit of bacteria and debris to occur and preventing a build up of toxic bacteria.
It is always nice to know that what has been used for centuries has been validated.
