  • His Recommendation Put Me In The ER

    I listened to him talk about IGG. He said adverse reactions are rare. I trusted him and purchased his product with IGG. I took a tiny amount and was in the ER within an hour getting IV benadryl. I asked for a refund for the $100 dollar product and was told "Please note that we only accept unopened and unused items within 30 days of purchase." So basically this cost me $100 plus a $200 ER visit plus the biggest scare of my life. Do yourself a favor and purchase IGG on Amazon. They will give you a... more

  • No B.S. just real science

    I really appreciate how Dr. Ruscio relies on peer-reviewed studies and doesn’t give any advice unless he has done his homework. I believe he is a very trustworthy source of information, and that is hard to find these days. He wants to help people be as healthy and happy as they can be without trying to sell us something for his benefit. Thank you Dr. Ruscio for all you do!

Q: What is the central mechanism by which vagal nerve stimulation helps with gut-brain health?
