Natural Remedy for Erectile Dysfunction
Last winter, I was trekking the countryside of Uganda. I was there to study their local healing traditions, and to learn more about the natural cures they use for disease.
What I wasn’t expecting to find was a powerful aphrodisiac.
It’s an extract from the roots of the eriosema kraussianum plant called bangalala.
I learned about it from Dr. Josiah Kizito. He’s an expert in natural healing and the use of African healing plants. He’s based in South Africa. My good friend in Uganda, Prince Dr. David Mawanda, introduced us.
I’m so glad he did.
What is bangalala used for?
Dr. Kizito told me that b...

Bali Natural Herbs and Their Uses
It’s here, and it’s beautiful! The first printing of my newest book, Healing Herbs of Paradise, just arrived. I haven’t felt this proud since I opened my Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine.
The vibrant colors and authentic photography set this book apart.
How can a book measure up to an entire wellness clinic, you ask? Well, it’s the end result of a lifelong challenge I’ve given myself… to bring ancient healing knowledge to people like you all over the world.
As modern medicine continues to make “advances,” I cringe as more and more knowledge is left by the wayside.
Tra...

Are Heart Attack Risk Calculators Wrong?
The Truth About Heart Disease
Since the 1950s the medical industry has been peddling the myth that high cholesterol causes heart attacks. But here’s the truth. As Americans’ cholesterol levels have gone down, heart disease has not. It remains the number one cause of death in the United States.
I use a better warning system for heart attacks. I measure my patients’ telomeres.
What are telomeres?
You know by now that telomeres are the little countdown clocks at the end of your chromosomes. They prevent DNA strands from unraveling.
When you are young your telomeres are long. But every time a cell divides the telomeres...

Why is the butterfly pea flower effective?
If you have been following my story, you know I love traveling. One reason is I love to explore.
Another reason?
I love to eat!
One of the great things about traveling the world is getting to sample the local cuisine. When I was living with the Guarani tribe in Peru, I drank beer made of yucca root that the native women spit into the ground and let ferment. I ate raw worms and grubs.
I’ve eaten the “Food of the Gods” in the Amazon. An incredible fruit called cupuaçu that tastes like a heavenly blend of chocolate and vanilla.
I’ve sampled so many unusual foods that it’s hard to surprise me. But that&...

Get Rid of Toxins to Reduce Risk of Stroke
Effects of Toxins
I’ve been warning you about the toxins in our environment for years.
They cause inflammation…
They make you gain weight…
They cause you to feel fatigued…
Our exposure to them starts before we’re even born.
One study found 287 chemicals and toxins in the blood of newborn babies.1 It’s shocking.
What is in the air we breathe?
We breathe in toxins and air pollutants every day. Carbon dioxide, lead, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter (PM).
Causes of Stroke
Now, a new study reveals that air pollution is responsible for as many as one-third of all strokes.2 That’...

Naturally Overcome Daytime Fatigue
It’s 2 p.m. and you’re yawning.
Your eyes are getting heavy and you’re thinking, “Boy, I could use a nap right now.”
Trouble is, you already get eight hours of sleep every night. You wake each morning refreshed and ready to conquer the world.
Fatigue Causes
So why are you so tired in the middle of the afternoon?
Most people believe fatigue, naps and poor sleep are inevitable as we age. So do many doctors, which is why they’ll simply tell you to get more sleep at night. Or even worse, they’ll write you a prescription for a sleeping pill.
But they’re wrong. It’s mo...

Best Exercise To Prevent Cancer
This study focused on the connection between a high-intensity exercise program and cancer. In this case, shrinking tumors.
Published a few months ago, this report found high-intensity exercise reduced tumors in mice by 50%.2
Researchers believe it’s because of the adrenaline surge that a high-intensity exercise produces.
The adrenaline pushes cancer-busting natural killer (NK) cells toward tumors.
NK cells are part of your innate immune system. They are a kind of white blood cell that seeks out and kills other infected cells (including tumor cells) while sparing healthy cells.
They also found that a chemic...

5 Steps To Boost Testosterone Naturally

.x-main{width:100% !important;}
Common symptoms of Low-T
Low energy… depression… and the dreaded “man boobs”…
These are common complaints I hear from men at my clinic.
I ask them if they also have trouble sleeping, a low sex drive and can’t work out like they used to. When they say yes, I almost always know what’s going on… low testosterone.
Other low testosterone symptoms include:
Decreased bone and muscle mass
Reduced insulin resistance
Irritability
Hair loss
Weight gain, especially in the abdomen
Testosterone and aging
Testosterone decreases a...

Get Rid of Your Depression By Boosting Serotonin Levels
I’m not interested in lengthening your lifespan. I want to increase your “health span”… the length of time you feel energized and ready to take on the world.
And an important part of your “health span” is your emotional well-being.
The brain chemical serotonin plays a big part in keeping you emotionally balanced. That’s why it’s called the “happy hormone.”
What Does Serotonin Levels Affect?
Serotonin does a lot more than keep you in a good mood. Your serotonin levels affect your:
Energy levels
Sex drive
Memory
Weight and appetite
Sleep
Low Serotonin Levels Can Cause Depression
It’s ...

Eye Strain Caused by Digital Screens
I’ve noticed a frightening trend occurring around the world. Instances of eye problems are increasing with rapid numbers.
Problems like myopia – once thought to be genetic – are going up exponentially with each passing year.
Many eye diseases have no early symptoms. You may not see a change in your vision until the disease has become advanced.
Are Eye Problems Genetic?
We have to look at the bigger picture here… eye problems aren’t always genetic, and there are changes in our environment that are having a negative impact on our eyesight.
Serious Eye Problems That Affects Your Vision
One area of concern is eye str...

Long Distance Running Effects On Your Health
Long distance running is becoming more and more popular. Close to two million people every year drag themselves across the finish lines. And that’s just in half marathon races. Runners in these 13.1 mile events have increased six-fold over the past 25 years.
All these amateur athletes think they’re getting really healthy as they work themselves up to full marathons. But the truth is they are cutting years off their life.
You can see it for yourself if you stand at the finish line of any race. The hardcore runners look terrible. They look gaunt and malnourished. They are hunched over and have a stif...

PPI Side Effects Destroying Your Blood Vessels
It seems whenever I turn on my TV these days, there’s Larry the Cable Guy with a quick fix for heartburn.
He makes it sound so simple. Just pop a pill, eat all the chili dogs you want, and no more heartburn… at least for a couple of weeks.
What Is Heartburn?
Heartburn is an irritation of the esophagus that is caused by stomach acid. It has nothing to do with the heart.
But a new study has found a link between proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) — heartburn drugs — and the premature aging of blood vessels.
Heartburn Drugs PPI Side Effects
Researchers focused on the effects of two PPIs, one of which is Nexium. They...

New Alternative Treatments For Kidney Problems
There’s something you should know about chronic kidney disease.
Most doctors will tell you there is no alternative treatments for kidney problems besides costly dialysis or a transplant to deal with impaired renal function.
What Is Kidney Failure?
Kidney dialysis is a treatment that uses a special machine to filter harmful wastes, salt and excess from your blood.
But there is another option. It’s called stem cell biotherapy, and it offers new hope to those with this life-threatening disease.
You may think your kidneys are just fine and you have nothing to worry about. But consider this…

Better Treatments To Reverse Congestive Heart Failure
Take it easy… stay in bed. That’s what most doctors tell patients with congestive heart failure. I can’t think of worse advice.
What’s Congestive Heart Failure?
Congestive heart failure (CHF) means your heart can’t pump enough blood for your body’s needs. Blood builds up behind the heart. Fluids accumulate in the lungs and make you weak, tired and short of breath. Less blood flowing to your brain makes you dizzy and confused. Vital organs like your lungs, brain and kidneys begin to shut down.
What Happens When You Have CHF?
A heart with CHF is severely deconditioned. When your heart pu...

Can Rheumatoid Arthritis Cause Hearing Loss?
When I have a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), I like to test their hearing. Most doctors think I’m crazy. They don’t get the connection between your hearing and your joints. But it’s clearly there.
When you have RA, your immune system mistakes your bones, cartilage, and connective tissues for hostile invaders. It attacks and breaks down the joints. The result is a crippling loss of mobility.
But RA doesn’t stop at the joints. It can affect the entire body. About 15% to 25% of RA patients have “extra-articular” RA. This form of the disease can attack your heart, lungs, blood vessels, kidneys and eyes. ...
