Cholesterol Vaccine?
I saw this headline not long ago and it made my jaw drop.
“Daily statin use to lower cholesterol may soon be a thing of the past.”
I thought maybe — finally — the war on cholesterol was coming to an end.
It wasn’t.
Instead, it turns out Big Pharma is doubling down on cholesterol drugs. They’ve found a new multi-billion dollar scam. Let me explain…
Statins have been blockbusters for the drug companies. Worldwide sales hit $34 billion in one year. But most of these drugs have come to the end of their patents. Profits are starting to dip. Big Pharma needs another patent to replace them.
So instead of statin ...

Stop Your Body Attacking Itself
Modern medicine has no cure for autoimmune diseases — and, sadly, most doctors don’t understand them.
I’m talking about disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis (MS) and more.
In all, there are about 80 autoimmune diseases affecting organs throughout the body. They occur when your own immune system becomes overactive and attacks your body instead of diseases and foreign invaders.
The standard mainstream treatment for most autoimmune disorders relies on Big Pharma drugs that cover up symptoms or suppress your immune system, an...

Pfizer to FDA: Ban side effect warnings
Big Pharma won’t be satisfied until every American adult — and even some kids — are taking one of their dangerous statin drugs.
And they’ve resorted to desperate measures to achieve that goal.
Here’s what’s going on…
As you probably know, one of the most common side effects of taking statins is muscle pain. I see this all the time at my clinic when new patients come to see me. And if you or someone you know takes these drugs, you’ve probably seen it, too…
But a new study claims that people only get statin side effects like muscle pain if they know they’re taking the drugs. Researchers claim that if a pa...

Vitamin B3 found in Marmite not proven to prevent miscarriage
Conclusion
This early-stage laboratory research has pinpointed two potential genes that might be responsible for some miscarriages and birth defects.
As well as identifying a problem, the researchers also managed to find a solution: the effect of these genes can be combatted by increasing vitamin B3 intake.
But treating a very specific and uncommon cause of birth defects in mice is certainly not a sure-fire solution to "significantly reduce the number of miscarriages and birth defects around the world".
We need future research to see if the same effect would happen in humans.
Also, three of the four children inc...

How To Choose The Safest, Healthiest And Most Sustainable Seafood
By Kristin Canning
Your healthy seafood guide
Picking out fish should be a simple enough task, right? Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as grabbing a fresh-looking cut or some frozen shrimp and never giving it a second thought. These days we wonder: Does it have mercury? How much? What is its country of origin? Is it being overfished? And a new concern: Am I even getting the right fish?
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Loyola Marymount University recently performed DNA tests on sushi from 26 Los Angeles restaurants and found that 47 percent of it was mislabeled. Yellowfin tuna ended up...

Study paints clearer picture of'NASTy' side effects from well-known heart drug
The uncomfortable and embarrassing facial side effects many patients experience from the drug niacin, which is prescribed to prevent heart disease, typically lead to a high number of patients abandoning the therapy. For decades, researchers looking to alleviate the effects surmised that the greater the redness or warmth, the worse the experience for the patient. However, surprising new research results tell a different story: it is how fast the side effects appear immediately after taking the drug. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)
