This Molecule Is The Key To Stopping Autoimmune Disease
I’m seeing an epidemic of autoimmune diseases in my practice. My patients come to me when doctor after doctor has ignored their symptoms or given up on them.
You see, the problem is that most doctors still don’t understand these diseases.
I’m talking about things like lupus… rheumatoid arthritis… fibromyalgia… chronic fatigue syndrome… inflammatory bowel disease… and multiple sclerosis (MS).
Of course, there are many more. About 80 conditions affecting organs throughout the body are known as autoimmune disorders. They affect around 50 million Americans.
These are all conditions where your immune system beco...

Can Love Reverse Memory Loss?
This study backs up earlier research also out of Japan. That study found that oxytocin reversed the effect of toxic beta-amyloid and restored brain cell plasticity, which is vital for memory and learning.3
This was the first study to show that oxytocin could reverse beta-amyloid-induced impairments in the hippocampus.
All You Need Is Love?
Your body produces oxytocin in the hypothalamus and stores it in your pituitary gland – the part of the brain that regulates your hormones along with various other critical body functions.
Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus region of the brain. Sadly, your supply starts to declin...

Multivitamins May Improve Memory, Study Shows
Multivitamins have long been controversial. Studies exploring what, if any, benefit they provide for overall health have been mixed; some show a slight benefit in lowering the risk of cancer and other diseases, while others show that vitamins don’t do much for keeping the heart and brain healthy. Some experts dismiss them as good for little else than making expensive urine.
But in the latest study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a group of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Columbia University report that a daily multivitamin can improve memory and even slow some of the cognitive decl...

Protect Your Skin And Bones With A Surprising Combination
No one wants to get wrinkles. They’re a sign of getting older. But they may be a sign of something else…
Something you’d never suspect. Something even your doctor would never suspect…
They may be a warning sign of bone disease in menopausal women, according to a recent study. In fact, researchers found that the deeper your wrinkles during the first years of menopause, the lower your bone density will be — and the greater your risk of osteoporosis.1
So what’s the connection between deep wrinkles and low bone density?
It’s oxygen.
You know that after you work out, your skin is flushed. That’s a health...

The Vision Crisis No One Wants To Talk About
Has your vision deteriorated sharply over the past couple of years?
If the answer is “yes,” you are probably another victim of a global health crisis that eye doctors refuse to acknowledge…
I’m talking about a condition called quarantine myopia – a health crisis caused by Covid restrictions and the hours we were forced to spend inside during the lockdown.
Recent studies of school-age children from the Netherlands and China reveal that myopia – or “near-sightedness” – has increased dramatically since the lockdown.1
Using data from more than 120,000 schoolchildren, studies reveal that kids are up to thr...

How My Employee Made A Stunning Recovery, And How You Can Too
All the patients we treat at the Sears Institute are special. But today I want to tell you about one who is like family to me…
I’m talking about my clinic manager Brandi. If you’ve been to my clinic, you’ve probably met her. She’s a favorite with patients.
In all the time I’ve known her, she always had a smile on her face. But Brandi’s smile hid the unbearable pain she endured every moment.
Brandi had been in a horrific car accident that caused major damage to her back. Injuries to both her cervical and lumbar spine left her in constant pain. Every move she made was agonizing. It got to the point she coul...

Billions With Nutrition Deficiency!?
Almost no one gets enough selenium. Officially, at least a billion — with a B — people have a selenium deficiency.1
But I suspect the numbers are much higher than that.
You can’t get enough selenium from food alone anymore. That’s true even if you eat a healthy, varied diet. And you can thank Big Agra for that.
With their harsh pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and single-crop strategy, these massive farms have stripped the nutrients out of the soil. No nutrients in the soil mean no nutrients in the food.
All of this makes it difficult — if not impossible — to get even some of the daily selenium you need to ...

Common Myths About Exercise
The exercise industry has been lying to you for years. They still promote the idea that cardio workouts lead to fat loss.
But they’ve got it all wrong.
Sure, cardio will help you burn fat for a while. You’ll even lose weight in the short term.
But long-duration exercise tells your body to make more fat the next time you exercise. And after a while, your body adapts, and it gets very good at making and storing fat.
Fat is a starvation survival strategy. You put on and store fat because your body thinks it’s under duress. When you do 45 minutes of cardio, your body starts to believe that having fat is a good thing… A...
