Finding Power in My Panic Attacks
Trouble started in the form of rivulets of sweat dampening the waistband of my underwear. It was a bluebird afternoon in Phoenix in December of 2020, mid 60s, desert dry, and my heart was jackhammering against my ribcage. Breathing felt like I was sucking air through a stir straw. A small ABC News crew was arrayed before me, ready to broadcast the report I’d written that day, but with my vision narrowed to a needle’s eye, I could barely see them. I tried to swallow away the sandiness in my mouth but realized I’d forgotten how.

Laser Light Therapy Stimulates Regeneration
Elsie has been a patient at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging for years. So when she called me in tears, I told her to come in right away…
Elsie was leaving on her dream vacation to Africa in less than a week.
But she could barely stand up.
Her lower back pain was so severe she didn’t even think she could handle the 19-hour flight from Miami to Kenya. Let alone the six-hour drive from the capital city of Nairobi to the Maasai Mara Reserve, where she was going on a week-long safari.
Elsie was desperate for relief but didn’t want to manage the pain with prescription or over-the-counter muscle relaxants or painkill...

Big Cholesterol Lie Won ’ t Die
I’ve been warning my patients and readers like you about Big Pharma’s cholesterol scam for more than two decades.
But my message continues to get lost in the unrelenting Big Lie presented by so-called experts in the FDA, AHA, and USDA.
Now, a new study confirms — once again — that there is no link whatsoever between what’s known as “bad” cholesterol and death as a result of heart disease in individuals over 60 years of age.1
In fact, the study found that 92% of people with high cholesterol actually lived longer.
You see, there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” cholesterol. You need both to stay heal...

Fast Heartburn Relief Without Deadly Drugs
Since gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was first identified in the early 1930s, the number of people experiencing heartburn has increased substantially.
In fact, one study shows that in just 10 years, the number of people experiencing:1
Any GERD symptoms increased by 30%
Symptoms at least once a week increased by 47%
Severe GERD increased by 24%
While these numbers are concerning, I’ll admit they’re not surprising considering the typical American diet.
Our nutrition-less, grain-based diet of carbohydrates and starches has wrecked our health and made our bodies behave in ways nature never intended.
This has led ...

Sugar Alternatives Can Be Just As Bad For Your Health
My South Florida practice sees a lot of diabetic patients. And I always feel honored that they have chosen to put their health in my care…
But I’m shocked when these patients tell me that their previous doctor or nutritionist recommended that they switch to zero-calorie soft drinks, no-sugar energy bars, and sugar-free yogurts as a “healthy” diabetic alternative.
Please don’t get me wrong…
I’m not suggesting that foods packed with high fructose corn syrup – the main sweetening ingredient used in thousands of products – are any better.
I’ve written to you before about the dangerous effects of cor...

Parkinson ’ s Patients Get More Mobility And Better Balance With Whole Body Vibration Therapy
I’ve always believed that with a little coaxing, your body can self-heal – and the same is true for your brain.
Conventional doctors will never tell you this. For them, being a physician means managing symptoms with Big Pharma meds.
But for years, I’ve been helping patients recover using dietary changes, lasers, stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT). These therapies help your body heal itself.
No Big Pharma drug can do this.
But I recently began researching another natural therapy – called Whole Body Vibration, or WBV – that can help Parkinson’s patients regain their mobility and balance.
WBV isn’t new. It...

Avoid Expensive Detox Scams
Detoxing continues to be a hot topic in Hollywood and across social media sites.
Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow promote cleansing as a way to counter everything from weight gain to the effects of too many cocktails the night before.
It’s gotten really out of hand…
Today, you can find over-the-counter detox kits in every drug store across the country. They’re a huge business. Last year, sales of detox products topped $100 million.
But sadly, you’re being sold a bill of goods regarding these kits.
Now, don’t get me wrong, toxins are a huge problem…
Your environment has changed dramatically in...
