Banzai Consortium Blogs

This area holds all of the former Banzai Group Forum archives. You can use Blogs the same way as the previous forum, however what was a Thread, is now a Category. The benefit of Blogs is that they enable more flexibility, tracking, and subscription options.

  • PRIVACY NOTE: If you're a Registered Doctor (RD) or Registered Vendor (RV), you must choose the option "Viewable by Banzai Members Only" when you're publishing a post in order to ensure the highest level of privacy. Choose "viewable by Everyone (Public)" to allow Public access. You will know if you've accessed a Banzai Member Only post or not, because if you're not logged in, you will see a note that reads "You need to be a friend with the blog author in order to read his entries".

Much of what we deal with in health care is auto-immune, or induced inflammatory disease.   Much of that is preventable, or can be reduced, via lifestyle modifications.   Examples include simple carbohydrates like high fructose corn syrup. Tags: Untagged
