Sources
Information is taken from D'Coda's personal notes over many years as well as the following references:
Dr. Mercola has published videos and articles for many years and much of his material is in the database. However, due to censorship and threats, he is removing all of his content. New articles will be posted for only 48 hours on his website Mercola.com. Unfortunately this means any links in the database to his work will come up empty. I will attempt to "grab" new important articles and reprint in the database so this work isn't also lost.

A word about books, the database is NOT intended to substitute for the above books (or ANY books) but as a companion to them. The reason being, neuroscience finds that we actually learn better reading physical books than digital representations. So get the books, read them, then use the database for speedy data gathering.
