Drug Giants vs. Supplement Makers
Monday, February 22nd, 2010The second story is about legislation John McCain is pushing that will restrict your access to nutritional supplements. The ironic part is that certain supplements can reverse type 2 diabetes and even arthritis, quite easily, and with no side effects.
Should the government control your access to supplements, especially while allowing deaths to happen so easily with drugs? I suppose you could take a bottle of vitamin A pills and overdose, or take a handful of vitamin C and get temporary diarrhea, but a heart attack? Sudden death? Never heard of this. Drinking a liter of vodka might lead to death; Should we outlaw vodka?
Sick Care: Keeping Your Money & Health With “Reform”
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010If the new health care reform bill passes, you will be forced to pay thousands of dollars to insurance companies, which promote the sick model. You will be forced to pay for drugs and surgery, not promotion of health or prevention of disease. Instead of diverting extra money to organic carrots, you will need to send it to a corporation. Is this even unconstitutional? It is definitely bad for your health. What do you need to stay well?
Mammography: Increasing Cancer Risk?
Friday, October 9th, 2009Western medicine does not have a great track record at preventing breast cancer. The top strategies for preventing disease in women turn out to increase risk of cancer and more: synthetic hormones, anti-cancer drugs, and mammography.
Spice Cures
Friday, February 27th, 2009Your spice shelf may hold the cure for your health complaints. Research now confirms what traditional populations have long observed; flavorful spices double as safe and effective medicines. Although many cultures use spices as medicines, in the U.S., your doctor could lose his or her medical license and spice sellers could be put out of business for recommending a spice cure.
Hangover Prevention and Liver Detox
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Champagne, revelry and hangovers seem to be an integral part of New Year’s celebrations for many. In excess, of course, alcohol impairs the body, and most notably the liver. It doesn’t help your brain either. You may know the effects: headache, stomachache, jet lag-style fatigue, nausea and the gnawing feeling you did something stupid. The following are some tips to get you through this holiday with revelry yet minimum organ damage.
Holiday Drug Dangers, Alternatives
Monday, December 29th, 2008Over-the-counter meds interact with prescription drugs and alcohol, leading to 2 million “adverse drug reactions” each year. Reactions to properly prescribed dugs kill over 100,000 people per year in the U.S. Mistakes and overdose kill another 100,000. Doctors and drugs are considered the third leading caused of death in this country, according to the American Medical Association.
One of the joys of my work is seeing someone get off a drug, whether it is an anti-depressant, insulin or antacids. Not only does one’s physical health improve, but so does his or her energy, mood and zest for life.
Vitamins and Health: The Real Story
Monday, November 24th, 2008A line-up of recent new studies show vitamin supplements to be worthless or even harmful and drugs to be healing. Don’t you think this is just a little suspicious? Thousands of studies before these have confirmed the OPPOSITE. The media seems to have us believe the latest study is the truth and that it doesn’t matter if studies published earlier show the opposite, nor that these studies are funded by drug companies.
So what’s really happening here?
Antidepressants Don’t Work
Saturday, October 11th, 2008Nine of 10 people who attempt to discuss feelings of depression or anxiety with their physicians get prescriptions for drugs.
Although it may seem taking an antidepressant is a powerful way to escape emotional pain, it turns out sugar pills work as well or better than these drugs. That’s right, according to research a placebo works as well or better than drugs in alleviating depression. Why not use proven effective natural remedies to change the chemistry of your moods, save money and prevent health problems associated with drugs?
