Recent changes to Google’s search algorithms and advertising policies have radically reshaped the flow of online information about holistic medical alternatives.
The moves have had significant impact on many websites that promote natural alternatives—including Holistic Primary Care’s—and they raise profound questions about freedom of information and the role of major online platforms in mediating online medical dialog.

For decades, Dr. Pizzorno has been at the forefront of a movement to build bridges between naturopathic, functional, and mainstream medicine. In recent years, his attention has been focused on the myriad ways that environmental toxins are damaging personal and public health, and on developing practical strategies to help people reduce their toxic loads.
His recent book, The Toxin Solution, presents a harrowing picture yet offers good clinical guidance on how to manage the onslaught. Consider the following:
• 94% of Americans are exposed to enough polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to double their lifetime risk of asthma.
• 60% of US women carry loads of PCB187 sufficient to double their risk of breast cancer.
• 33% of Americans have lead levels high enough to double the risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
• 25% are exposed to enough aluminum to double Alzheimer’s risk.
Holistic Primary Care had the honor of hosting Dr. Pizzorno at our 2017 Practitioner Channel Forum. He shared his research on the role of common toxins in chronic disease and his field-tested therapeutic strategies. Watch the full-length session from HPC’s video archive:
