Big Cholesterol Lie Won ’ t Die
I’ve been warning my patients and readers like you about Big Pharma’s cholesterol scam for more than two decades. But my message continues to get lost in the unrelenting Big Lie presented by so-called experts in the FDA, AHA, and USDA. Now, a new study confirms — once again — that there is no link whatsoever between what’s known as “bad” cholesterol and death as a result of heart disease in individuals over 60 years of age.1 In fact, the study found that 92% of people with high cholesterol actually lived longer. You see, there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” cholesterol. You need both to stay heal...

This Dangerous Diet Means More Broken Bones
Make no bones about it… Being a vegetarian won’t do your health any favors, no matter what you hear in the media and from so-called “nutrition experts.” I’ve been warning my patients about this for years. Despite all the hype about plant-based meals being better for you, eliminating animal protein is not a healthy option – especially as you age. A recent study of more than 26,000 women between the ages of 35 and 69 found that vegetarians had a 33% higher risk of hip fracture compared with meat eaters.1 The study, published in BMC Medicine, looked at four groups that consisted of “occasional” meat eate...

This Overlooked Nutrient May Be The Key To Brain Power
Aging is inevitable. But have you noticed that some very elderly people still don’t miss a thing? Some of my patients fall into this category. I’ve worked with many centenarians who remain quick-witted, with keen memories and focus. You can be one of these people, too — an all-star senior… Inside all of you, your cells are constantly busy dividing up to two trillion times per day. The new cells replace old, damaged, or dead cells and help you live, grow and thrive. Human cell lines have built-in mortality. As your cells divide, there’s a limit at which their limit is reached. There’s an internal mechanism o...

Farmed and Dangerous
I was in my office getting ready to join my staff for a meeting when I overheard it… “One of Norway’s top scientists calls farmed salmon the most toxic food in the world.” I immediately asked to see the study. As a regular reader, you know I always recommend wild-caught fish. But what I read in this report surprised even me. As it turns out, farmed salmon is five times more toxic than every other food the researchers tested.1 You know that I’ve warned my patients against eating farm-raised animals for decades. Whether beef, fish, or eggs, these Big Agra mass-produced foods harm your health. I’ve been exposi...

The 5-Steps to Relieve Tinnitus
My patient T.K. was a wreck. He looked like he hadn’t slept in a week. I asked him what was going on. “It’s nothing you can fix, doc,” he said. “I’ve been to three specialists, and they all told me the same thing… “I’ve got tinnitus, and I just have to live with it.” Luckily, I was able to help him. Tinnitus is an aggravating, nerve-racking, and unseen condition. The constant ringing in your ears robs you of sleep, makes you miserable as it drowns out your hearing, and, over time, makes you more prone to illness. Tinnitus also shatters your focus and concentration. Sadly, up to 25% of the U.S. populatio...
