Anti Alzheimer ’ s diet
Despite what the mainstream media is telling you, sugar is not your enemy.
Your body evolved to eat sweet foods. In fact, it’s how our ancestors knew a food growing in the wild was safe to eat and healthy.
But your body did not evolve to eat starchy, high carbohydrate sugars from bread, pasta, cereal and other grains. Ever since we were told to eat low fat, this has been the bulk of the our diet.
The result has been a modern epidemic of obesity and diabetes. At the same time, we face skyrocketing rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Big Pharma has bee...

Godly gift for arthritis pain
Big Pharma is at it again… Creating and selling a drug that causes thousands of heart attacks and strokes each year.
In 2015, the FDA asked drug makers to strengthen their warning labels.
Since then, most have listed their dangerous side effects on the bottle.
But one manufacturer thought they didn’t have to warn people about their dangerous drug.
They marketed their product as a “unique” breakthrough. They even published studies promising it was “safe for long-term use.” 1
The drug is a 7-year-old arthritis drug called Actemra. It’s made by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche.

15 Foods A Nutritionist Always Keeps In Her Fridge
By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD
Healthy eating is my foundation, and I like to think of a well-stocked fridge as pre-production for everyday life. Having the right mix of nutritious foods on hand helps me hit my daily target for veggies and fruit, and lets me throw together simple but balanced meals, so I don’t ever have to rely on takeout.
To stock up for the week, I shop at multiple spots, including my local farmer’s markets, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, traditional supermarkets, and on amazon.com. I’d say I spend about $100 per week on groceries (some of the things I buy aren’t pictured because...

Improve Your Mood With Turmeric Root (Curcumin)
"Dr. Sears," C.R. asked me, "I know curcumin is good for treating a lot of things, but can it improve someone's mood?"
This morning, one of the women on my staff, C.R., came into my office to talk to me about her 15-year-old son. He'd been irritable and moody and sleeping a lot lately. Most mornings, he'd miss the bus to school and then stress about being late.
But today, he was up on time with his backpack packed and a smile on his face. C.R. even heard him whistling in the shower! And he was at the bus stop 10 minutes early.
C. R. started taking curcumin supplements a few weeks ago. She had no...

Turmeric May Not Be A Wonder Spice After All
When it comes to turmeric, the yellowish-orange spice many thought could have a positive effect on illness, research shows there may be much ado about nothing.
A recent meta-analysis of more than 120 clinical trials and 5,000 published studies casts serious doubts on whether there are any significant health benefits to the spice.
A group of researchers led by Kathy Nelson, a research associate at the University of Minnesota Institute for Therapeutics Discovery and Development, found that not a single double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial (the best type of research study) of curcumin, the active chemical in t...

7 Ways to Improvise In A Food Desert
“Dr. Hyman, I’m going to my in-laws for the holidays, and they live in a food desert,” a reader recently wrote. “Seriously, they have one grocery store and a McDonald’s. What do I do? I’m going to be there for almost 10 days!”
Trust me when I say we’ve all been there. I’ve traveled to towns where I’ve felt forced to make the most of what is available and the options weren’t very impressive. Sometimes you have to improvise and do the best you can with what you have.
It’s not your fault you can’t find real food in the average American town. The foo...

How to Protect Yourself Against Fluoride Toxicity
We're all familiar with the additive fluoride.
But do you know what your daily requirement for fluoride is?
Zero.
In the 1940s and '50s, dentists believed that fluoride was an essential nutrient necessary to build strong bones and teeth. Communities around the country started adding it to their drinking water. And the CDC heralded water fluoridation as one of the greatest public health feats of the 20th century.
The goal was to reduce dental cavities, but the experiment turned out to be a big bust.
Fluoride actually increases cavities.
One large study looked at 400,000 students. It found that for each 1 part-per mi...

How To Protect Your Eyesight
If you’re one of the 40% of Americans who wears glasses or contact lenses for distance viewing, you probably believe your bad vision is genetic.
It’s not.
But the belief that myopia — or nearsightedness — is hereditary is so prevalent that no one even questions it. If you have trouble seeing faraway objects, you’ll just be given a prescription for glasses. Your eye doctor isn’t interested in finding out the true cause of your poor eyesight.
Myopia Epidemic
And that’s a shame, because the rates of myopia are rising in epidemic proportions around the world. It’s even worse in Asia tha...

How To Prevent Cancer Naturally
Why is it that if you’re unfortunate enough to get cancer, your only option is to see an oncologist who will almost certainly recommend radiation, surgery or chemotherapy drugs?
One reason is that it’s all they know. Conventional doctors are only educated to use the tools of modern medical technology.
But there’s another reason that’s very concerning…
Chemotherapy drugs are making oncologists very, very rich.
You see, most doctors will just write you a prescription for a drug. But not oncologists. They buy these drugs at wholesale prices then sell them to cancer patients at marked-up prices.
The...

Turmeric: Nature ’s Miracle Root for Disease
My friends Lelir and Westi in Bali don’t like to go to doctors. Nature is their pharmacy.
You see, Lelir is a Balian. That means “herbal healer.”
And Westi’s plantation is bursting with healing plants.
But one plant stands out above all the others. Lelir uses it to make a daily immune-boosting elixir as well as an anti-aging facial scrub. Balians use it as an antibiotic and for liver support. They boil it with milk and sugar to treat the common cold and allergies. Rural doctors make it into a paste with lime to ease sore joints. They make drinks to treat fevers and stomach pain. They mix it wi...

How Much Omega-3 vs Omega-6
All the so-called “nutrition experts” telling us to eat unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats are missing the point.
There are natural saturated fats that are perfectly healthy to eat… and manufactured unsaturated fats that are at the root cause of many of our health problems.
That’s because it’s the ratio of omega-6 fats and omega-3 fats in our modern diet that’s actually the problem.
Let me explain…
Omega Fatty Acids In Our Diet
Omega-6s are fatty acids commonly found in vegetable oils. That includes safflower, sunflower, corn, cottonseed, sesame and soybean. They’re also in salad dressings, shorteni...
