How Can Gingivitis Cause Heart Disease
I’m not a dentist, so sometimes my patients are surprised when I tell them I want to look at their teeth and gums.
Here’s why I do it…
Your mouth is an early warning system for serious conditions throughout your body. Whatever is going on with your oral health gives me a pretty good idea of what’s going on with all your major organs and systems.
It makes sense because everything in your body is connected biologically. And your mouth is the gateway to the rest of your body. It’s also home to around 100 billion bacteria.
Most dentists are concerned when those bacteria cause tooth decay and gum d...

How To Lower Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke
Italy's Emma Morano will be celebrating her 117th birthday at the end of this month. She's the oldest living person in the world.
And when she was asked what her secret to longevity was, she didn't miss a beat.
Her answer? She eats two or three eggs every day.
I'm not at all surprised by Emma's long, healthy life. People thrived on eggs for millions of years.
The Myth of Eggs and Cholesterol
That is, until the 1950s, when they came under attack because they're high in cholesterol. Around that time, cholesterol was blamed for causing heart disease.
And we now know that's not true.
Choleste...

Galangal: Boost Your Brain Power and Memory
Of the top 10 causes of death in America, Alzheimer's disease is the only one that can't be prevented, cured or slowed.
At least that's what mainstream doctors in the West will tell you…
But try telling that to the people of Bali.
The galangal root is similar to ginger, but it has a bit more bite. Some people describe it as "piney" or "woodsy."
You see, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is extremely rare in Bali. And the majority of people living on Bali who DO have Alzheimer's are expats from the West.
Part of the reason why the Balinese don't get AD may lie in one incredible...

Curcumin: The Natural Alternative To Antibiotic Ointment
In this study of 12 different pain relievers, curcumin was the most effective. Aspirin and ibuprofen were the least.5
4. It helps form new skin cells to close the wound. In one study, wounds treated with curcumin closed completely within 11 days. Untreated wounds took over twice as long (23 days) to close.6
And a recent animal study found that curcumin boosts levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. This growth factor helps stimulate the development of new small blood vessels. This in turn, helps build new skin tissue.

Boost Your Testosterone With PACE
If your sex drive is in low gear, there's a good chance you have low testosterone.
And that's true whether you're a man or a woman.
Now, a lot of "experts" will tell you that one of the best ways to boost testosterone is to get out and "exercise."
There may be some kernel of truth there, but the problem is "exercise" isn't all one thing.
When they say you should get at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity every week, that advice could actually be sabotaging your love life.
Does Exercise Affect Testosterone Levels?
You see, the wrong kind of exercise can actually KILL your sex drive...

Side Effects of Prescription Drugs on the Body
One of the biggest problems with medical drugs is that even when they “fix” a problem, they often create another one.
And what do you think the medical industry’s solution for that new problem is?
That’s right… another drug.
Just look at antidepressants…
A solid 10% of Americans take these drugs. So chances you or someone you know is on one…
What are the side effects of antidepressant drugs?
They’re supposed to make you happy. But instead of lifting your spirits, these drugs just make you feel numb to everything. They kill your sex drive and can make you fat, suicidal and violent.1

Natural Herbs for Pain Relief
When I was in medical school, doctors only wrote prescriptions for opioid painkillers for terminal cancer patients, surgical patients and critical emergencies.
That's because they knew these drugs were lethal. Opioids come from the same poppy plant used to make opium and heroin. And just like those addictive street drugs, the risk of getting hooked on them is extremely high.
It's incredible how things have changed since then…
What are opioids prescribed for?
Today, you're likely to get a prescription for opioids for just about any kind of pain. That includes chronic pain, fibromyalgia, depression, headac...
