Fake high blood pressure news
Mainstream doctors are quick to prescribe drugs to bring high blood pressure down.
They may put you on one, two or even three of Big Pharma’s drugs. They include diuretics, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers.
These drugs have serious side effects. I’m talking about things like edema, dizziness, nose bleeds, rash and hearing loss. They can lead to cardiac failure, heart attack, depression, colitis, and arthritis pain.
It’s bad enough risking those side effects if you have to. But your doctor may be giving you these pills for NO good reason. Y...

Study shows how nerves drive prostate cancer
(Albert Einstein College of Medicine) In a study in today's issue of Science, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, part of Montefiore Medicine, report that certain nerves sustain prostate cancer growth by triggering a switch that causes tumor vessels to proliferate. Their earlier research -- which first implicated nerves in fueling prostate cancer -- has prompted Montefiore-Einstein to conduct a pilot study testing whether beta blockers (commonly used for treating hypertension) can kill cancer cells in tumors of men diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Drugs, money and your heart
I was really excited to see a recent headline that said heart doctors should discuss herbal medicines with their patients. The recommendation came from a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.1
I thought this was a real breakthrough. I thought it meant cardiologists had finally seen the light…
Boy, was I wrong…
The article said doctors should learn about herbal medicines so they could STOP their patients from using them.
You see, supplement use is at an all-time high. About 70% of Americans take them.
That’s a lot of people. And Big Pharma would love to capture that market. So they have a re...

“Quackery” that saves lives
I’m used to being a target of mainstream medicine. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been called a “quack.”
Let me give you just one example…
For decades I’ve been treating my patients with a proven therapy. The FDA approved it way back in 1953. I use it to help my patients detox from mercury, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. In fact, more than 100,000 people get this therapy every year in the U.S.
But mainstream doctors still laugh at the idea of this treatment and think it’s pure bunk.
I’m talking about intravenous (IV) chelation.
Even though I’ve...

The cancer-stress connection
It’s no secret that stress can be deadly.
It weakens your immune system… It increases your risk of heart disease…
But new research shows that stress can be particularly deadly for people with cancer. A recent study in Australia found that stress allows cancer to spread six times faster.
Aussie researchers tracked breast cancer cells in mice. They tagged the cancer cells with a fluorescent marker. Then they used state-of-the-art imaging to see tumor cells that had spread into the lymph system.1
What they saw was remarkable…
The images showed that stress increases the number and size of lymph vessels in and ...

Beta blockers not needed after heart attack if other medications taken
A new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill finds beta blockers are not needed after a heart attack if heart-attack survivors are taking ACE inhibitors and statins. The study is the first to challenge the current clinical guideline that heart-attack survivors should take all three drugs - beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and statins - for the rest of their lives.

Researchers find beta blockers have positive effect in pulmonary arterial hypertension
(Cleveland Clinic) A team of Cleveland Clinic researchers found that a common heart disease medication, beta blockers, may help treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a debilitating lung disease.Caused by high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, PAH is a progressive disease which usually leads to right-sided heart failure and death within five to seven years of diagnosis. In fact, right-sided heart failure is the leading cause of death in PAH patients. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
