Check out these Videos

If you go to "Youtube.com" you can get a wide selection of health videos. I don't have control over which of the videos you see on this page. Most are very instructive. But be careful, some have a strong commercial bias, meaning they want you to buy something or have you doctor order an expensive test. In general, don't beleive something unless it is sponsored by a nonprofit organization or you see it on three respectable websites. You don't need money or testing to be in good health. Focus on the wellness part of the videos.
