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...

Microneedling: How To Get Rid of Wrinkles and Scars
Like the rest of your body, your skin accumulates damage over the years from environmental toxins and bad habits like smoking or a poor diet. You might have visible scars on your face… or skin that’s been left with pits and pocks from childhood chicken pox or acne.
If you go to a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist, they’ll likely suggest an invasive and painful procedure with a long recovery.
But I’m here to tell you that you don’t need a facelift if you want to look younger. And you don’t need a chemical peel to get smoother skin.

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...

PRP Therapy For Joint Pain Relief
Prescription medications may ease your debilitating joint pain for a little while… but it won’t last.
That’s because painkillers and corticosteroids don’t treat the problem. Prescription meds only treat the symptoms. They don’t heal the joint. And they come with a long list of nasty side effects.
Corticosteroids are even worse.
What are corticosteroids?
Corticosteroids are an anti-inflammatory medicine prescribed for a wide range of conditions. It is also known as steroids.
Effects Of Corticosteroids
They cause your body to age by telling it to stop repairing itself!
At my clinic, I’ve...

Osteoporosis Treatment Alternatives To Bisphosphonates
Big Pharma employs a lot of very serious spin-doctors. I’ll give you a good example.
Bisphosphonates For Osteoporosis?
A new study just came out on bisphosphonate drugs. These are the most commonly prescribed drugs for osteoporosis. They’re worth about $8.5 billion per year to the drug companies.
But this new study says that one-third of the women taking these drugs are still at high risk for fractures.
Now here’s what you have to understand. The study was done by a subsidiary of Merck & Co. They make Fosamax, one of the biggest bone drugs. So instead of saying the drugs don’t work ...

Glutathione Benefits: Boosting Levels For Long, Healthy Life
Many people who live to be 100 or more have something in common. And it’s not that they’ve followed conventional “wisdom” about healthy diet and exercise.
It’s that their bodies make more of a powerful antioxidant called glutathione than the average person.
It’s what keeps them from being ravaged by the toxic world we live in.
Glutathione is an important antioxidant produced by the body
By now you know your body is under attack every day from the air you breathe, the chemicals you use, and the processed foods you eat. These toxins cause your body to produce free radicals.

Sarcopenia: How to Prevent Loss of Muscle As You Age
.x-sidebar{display:none;}
.x-main{width:100% !important;}
Your grandmother probably never heard of osteoporosis. Then Big Pharma came out with the first bone drug in 1995. Now billions are spent on this disease. And everyone worries about bone density.
But there is another condition just as threatening. Maybe even more so… but you won’t see any TV ads. Mainstream doctors rarely, if ever, bring it up with their patients… even though it affects around 45% of the older population.
I’m talking about sarcopenia… a loss of muscle as you age.
Sarcopenia is the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass and stre...

The Truth About Modern Exercise
If you’ve been following the advice of mainstream doctors or fitness “experts,” you’ve probably logged more than a few miles — and countless hours — on the treadmill.
I applaud your effort to be healthy. I know you’ve put in a lot of hard work.
But I have to tell you the truth…
They wasted your time.
That’s because the modern approach to “exercise” is completely wrong.
Our primal ancestors would scratch their heads at the modern notion of “exercise.” You’d never see them running in a straight line for hours on end, day after day.
How did our primal ancestors exercise?
They roamed the forests ...

Where Nutrients Come From
The world we live in is nothing like the environment our ancient ancestors thrived in. In their world, they got all the nutrients they needed from food.
Toxic Food
The commercially processed meats we eat are loaded with toxins. Our soil has lost nutrients at a staggering rate. And this decline in soil quality is robbing our food of all nutrition.
Let me give you a couple of examples…
Compared to Big Agra’s cultivated white potato, a wild Peruvian potato has 166 times more nutrients[i]! These include the antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids that give the wild potato its purple color.
And there’s a species...

How Ketosis Diet Works
.x-sidebar, #text-7, .wrapper_logo{display:none;}
.x-main{width:100% !important;}
When it comes to weight loss, it’s not the amount of calories you consume that’s most important, but how your body uses them. Over the long run, this difference in what your body “decides” to do with the calories you eat makes all the difference.
What is ketosis?
Ketosis is a metabolic process that happens when the body does not have enough glucose for energy.
How ketosis occurs
Your body enters a state called “ketosis” when you eat a low- or no-carb diet. Because your body doesn’t have carbs to burn...

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
I’m seeing a disturbing trend in my practice. More and more people are coming in with a deadly liver condition. In medical school I was taught that liver disease was limited to hardcore drinkers. But the people I’m seeing aren’t heavy drinkers. Some don’t drink at all.
It’s one of the fastest-growing health epidemics in the world. And here’s the tragedy. Mainstream medicine has no effective drug or other treatment for this condition.
What is NAFLD?
I’m talking about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD causes serious liver problems. It results in painful swelling and scarring that can lead to cirr...

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...

Stress and Diabetes: Cause, Prevention, Natural Treatment
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, mainstream medicine treats you as if you have an incurable disease. It’s like they’re saying, “Now you’re a diabetic… that’s who you are… and that’s who you’ll always be.”

This approach is dead-wrong.
How does diabetes develop?
