Iatrogenic – a word you should know…
According to Webster’s, it means: Induced in a patient by a physician’s activity, manner, or therapy. In other words: Caused by a doctor.
Now doctors can cause all kinds of things. Cures. Wellness. Hope. But what about death? Is that something we’re used to thinking is caused by our doctors? Well, if you’ve been reading the Daily Dose – or my Real Health newsletter – for any length of time at all, you’ll probably answer a resounding YES to that last question.

Product labels touting extra-strength bacterial fighting agents conjure up images of filthy disease-breeding germs that have to be stopped!
