Don’t Trust The Franken-Fat Ban
You may have heard a lot of experts praise the FDA for finally “banning” artificial trans fats.
And I agree it’s a good idea to remove these man-made fats from all of our foods.
But if you look closely at the FDA plan, I think you’ll see it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
As the name suggests, food companies make these “partially hydrogenated vegetable oils” by pumping hydrogen into vegetable oils, which turns them into solids.
These fats have nothing to do with nature. Your body doesn’t even recognize them as nutrients.
And they’ve been linked to many chronic ai...

When Doctors Bully…
As an intern, I was assigned a rotation, where I prepared patients for surgery.
During this prep process, I asked patients an unexpected but critically important question:
“Do you want to have surgery?”
As it turned out, most of them didn’t want surgery. But they didn’t know they had a choice.
Surgery is usually presented as your only option. But, in fact, it’s just one of many choices available.
The problem is that most specialists and surgeons won’t tell you that – because it’s bad for business.
Thankfully, today we have a superior procedure for “informed consent.”...

Look The Way Nature Intended
Since the ’70s, at least a half-dozen Big Pharma drugs have been approved only to get shelved, because they ended up causing serious health problems.
These problems have ranged from psychiatric and neurologic disorders to increased risks of heart attacks and strokes. The side effects have also included depression, vomiting, fainting, headaches, high blood pressure and liver damage.
The truth is, reliable weight loss shouldn’t involve risking your life.
I have successfully helped thousands of people lose weight with safe and natural herbs and supplements for decades – and I still do.

A Nutty Approach To Beating Cancer
Are you getting enough omega 3 essential fatty acids? Probably not … but you should be.
Most people don’t know that omega 3s are necessary for almost every part of your body to function properly – Including your heart, lungs, nerves, joints, eyes and brain.
And as I’ve told my patients for years, omega 3s are also effective at keeping cancer away.
That’s not something you’ll ever hear from your doctor.
But while your body desperately needs these essential omega 3 fatty acids, it can’t produce them by itself.
That’s why it’s critical to add omega 3s to your diet. But not all...

Super Nutrient’s Liver Surprise
I was one of the first doctors to talk about the incredible benefits of the super-nutrient pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ for short.
I was also one of the first doctors to recommend it to patients.
Now I recommend this essential nutrient and powerful antioxidant to almost everyone who comes to see me at my wellness clinic.
Researchers have only just recently begun to understand the many important roles of PQQ on the body’s cellular processes.
Not only does it possess extraordinary energy-giving qualities and have the power to ease nerve pain and battle Alzheimer’s, it has the potential to become the world’s stronge...

Give Your Manhood A Sporting Chance
I went to a sporting goods store with my son last weekend and found it pretty much impossible to buy him a sports jersey that wouldn’t poison him with gender-bending chemicals.
Almost everything these days is made of synthetic material or some new "techno" fiber that "wicks away moisture."
It took me half an hour to find something made from real cotton. But here’s the problem… those hi-tech materials are full of nasty and dangerous chemicals.
Too many popular sportswear brands, including Adidas and Nike, manufacture sportswear that contain chemicals linked to low-T, obesity, can...

Supplements That Save Lives And Bucks
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you about the high cost of medical care these days.
The fact is that as costs continue to skyrocket, more and more Americans are driven into bankruptcy, because they cannot pay their medical bills. Too often, they even lose their homes.
You may have even lost a neighbor to this disturbing trend. It may have even happened to you – although, I certainly hope not.
That’s one reason I have always dedicated myself to keeping my patients out of hospitals – which often see patients as cash cows, instead of human beings.
And a cornerstone of this philosophy has been based upon pr...

The Anti-Aging Secret Of Sunshine
Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon and his band of conquistadors is said to have marched all over sunny, subtropical Florida nearly 500 years ago in search of the Fountain of Youth.
Ironically, he may even have marched right past the spot where my anti-aging clinic now stands.
Of course, Ponce de Leon knew absolutely nothing about telomeres.
But if he and his men had taken off their armor and enjoyed a little sun-bathing, they would have done something equivalent to diving head-first into those youth-returning waters.
That’s because the real secret to youth isn’t hidden in a legendary fountain. It’s already p...

All Men Should Avoid This Diet…
Most doctors will tell you to avoid unhealthy crash diets. It’s not rocket science.
Desperate weight-loss tactics, such as skipping meals, extreme low-calorie diets or taking strenuous exercise with little fuel in your body, are perhaps the most useless ways of trying to get back into shape.
That’s because if you repeatedly gain and lose weight you will end up with a slower metabolism, which makes it easier for your body to gain weight and harder to lose it in the future.
I see many victims of crash dieting in my wellness clinic – and in a minute I’m going to reveal a great Italian secret to losing weig...

4 Easy Ways To Beat Aging
I’ve been hearing it nearly all of my life: Save your money for your “old age.”
I’m sure that well-meaning friends and relatives have been telling you the same thing for years, too.
But more than 2,100 years ago, the Roman philosopher Virgil hit the nail on the head when he said: “The greatest wealth is health.”
And these aren’t just fancy words of philosophical wisdom. They are very good practical advice.
You should be saving something much more important than money – no matter what your age.
I’m talking about saving your telomeres, those tiny “countdown clocks”...

Beware The Tea You Sip
Green tea has become the beverage of choice for people who want to live a long, healthy life. And the latest studies prove its power to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and a host of other ills.
But as usual, Big Food has jumped on the bandwagon to make money by hawking poor-quality tea in pretty bottles.
In their relentless drive for profit, drink makers have churned out dozens of brands of bottled green tea with the aim of cashing in on the beverage’s reputed healing power.
The trouble is that almost all of these teas are a waste of good water – because Big Food’s processing has stripped of most powe...

The Truth About Sports Drinks
I’ve successfully treated thousands of patents over the years using a very simple philosophy – your body knows what’s best for it.
That’s why whenever I finish one of my intense exercise workouts, nothing tastes better than pure, cold water – preferably at two degrees above freezing.
No flavors… No fizz… No colors… No additives… Just good ol’ fresh water.
I don’t drink sports beverages like Gatorade and Powerade. And I don’t recommend them to the patients at my wellness clinic, either – even after strenuous game of tennis in the hot sun or long, hard round...

I Can See Clearly Now…
Most doctors these days will tell you that eating oily fish can prevent you from going blind in later years.
They’re on the right track, but as usual they’ve ended up with the wrong conclusion.
It is true that the omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish, like tuna, salmon and sardines, lower the risk of what we call macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in old age.
The macula is an area at the back of the eye and is responsible for what we see in the centre of our vision.
With age, the macula can deteriorate, causing the central vision to be blurry and it can progresses to complete blindness.

Welcome To My World, Dr. Oz
Dr. Oz and I must be doing something right – otherwise, we wouldn’t incur the wrath of the medical establishment, Big Pharma and Big Agra.
Recently, 10 doctors lobbied Columbia University to oust celebrity physician Mehmet Oz from the distinguished university’s hospital and its department of health sciences and medicine.
In a letter to the department’s dean of faculty, the doctors attacked him for presenting alternative and natural cures on his syndicated TV program, The Dr. Oz Show.
They also chastised him for being concerned about genetically modified crops.
