This past weekend I celebrated Thanksgiving with a tiny, Covid-acceptable group of friends in the annual ritual Canadians celebrate a month earlier than our American neighbors.

We are witnessing a new age of medicine with the increasing acceptance of people’s right to what goes inside their bodies.
