US is ranked 54th in medicine

A pregnant woman is 70% more likely to die under American medical care than in Europe

Dr. Nancy was guilty of insider trading and fired from ABC over a conflict of interest issue with Johnson & Johnson. I wonder how much stock she owns with the vaccine manufacturers? Her track record of dishonesty and conflict of interest is downright scary!

It is great to see her educating people with the truth.

Hippocratic oath= I swear by Apollo the healer, & take witness to all other gods that I will NEVER EVER hurt anyone in practice of medicine.. Now- where's that baby in 4 healthy baby visit? Hush little baby, don't U cry, Doc's gona shoot U with formaldehyde. If that poison don't keep U sick, Doc's gona do another trick.. (Also includes aborted fetal tissue & aluminum in witch's brew) English word "Pharmacy" comes from Greek "Pharmakeia means witchcraft, poison, sorcery. Things still remain same.

@Christianpreaching yep... she's a witch

What's her logic? Wait until your urine color says you're borderline dehydrated before drinking water? Of all the pressing medical issues her lead advice is a generalization that you don't need 8 glasses of water (which was always intended as general guidance and not an exact "prescription" measurement). The reason to say away from acidic energy drinks is because they decay the teeth? I guess maintaining the acid-alkaline homeostatus of the blood is only secondary.

the connection to school could also be that you are in a better career therefore you have more money and can live better. Its not the doctors' fault that those with degrees or doctorates lived better thats the reward for their hard work.

this woman is a liar and works for the devil.
