Over a decade of chronic illness, I wasted thousands of dollars on supplements and alternative medicine treatments. If only I had discovered this podcast sooner! Now I am better informed, my critical thinking skills are much improved and I can protect myself against SCAMs. Thank you, Dr. Crislip! ❤️
