How To Avoid China ’ s Medicine Monopoly
I want to share a shocking statistic with you…
Around 80% of all the pharmaceuticals sold in America — both prescription and over-the-counter — are manufactured in China.
I’m talking about drugs for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, blood pressure and blood thinners, diuretics, aspirin, antibiotics, and a big chunk of the world’s insulin and diabetes drugs — just to name a few.1
We don’t even make penicillin anymore. The last penicillin plant in the U.S. closed its doors in 2004.
Americans who rely on medicine are now almost entirely at the mercy of a country whose relations with the U.S. have become more ...

5 Minutes To Better Heart Health
Americans are living through a blood pressure crisis. Maybe you, or someone you love, is one of them…
In the United States, 65% of adults over the age of 50 are living with above-normal blood pressure – increasing their risk of heart attack and stroke.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Because high blood pressure can also put you at higher risk for developing dementia later in life.1
Of course, Big Pharma doesn’t see this as a big problem. They know they can use this crisis to sell more drugs… drugs that never fail to do more harm than good.
But a new study reveals how you can lower blood pressure – a...

Pollutants In Your Salt!?
Your doctor, the media, and the medical establishment continue to warn that flavoring your food with salt will kill you. They link sodium consumption to a higher risk of high blood pressure, stroke – and of course, heart disease.
As usual, the powers that be are missing the real picture…
You see, salt has been part of human life for thousands of years – long before these chronic diseases became as common as they are today.
Humans started adding salt to their food for more than 5,000 years. It was the most effective way to preserve food.
Some historians even go as far as to credit salt for the development of human civ...

Drugs, money and your heart
I was really excited to see a recent headline that said heart doctors should discuss herbal medicines with their patients. The recommendation came from a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.1
I thought this was a real breakthrough. I thought it meant cardiologists had finally seen the light…
Boy, was I wrong…
The article said doctors should learn about herbal medicines so they could STOP their patients from using them.
You see, supplement use is at an all-time high. About 70% of Americans take them.
That’s a lot of people. And Big Pharma would love to capture that market. So they have a re...

This diet advice could kill you
The American Heart Association says sodium in salt raises blood pressure. They say it increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.
But the latest science says otherwise…
A British review of 34 clinical trials showed that cutting down on salt reduced blood pressure only slightly for people with hypertension.1
And a new study in The Lancet found that some low-salt diets could put you at GREATER risk of heart disease and death.2
Researchers analyzed data from 133,118 people. They wanted to see if there was a link between high sodium and heart attack, stroke and death
The results were startling. People on “he...

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’...

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...

Turmeric: Bali’s Anti-Cancer Tonic
I’m always happy to find things in my travels to bring back to you. Today I want to tell you about a miracle of nature called turmeric.
Turmeric has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions.
You can read about it in-depth in my latest book, Healing Herbs of Paradise.
The roots of this exotic leafy plant contain curcumin, a very powerful antioxidant that also has remarkable anti-inflammatory properties.1,2,3
What Does Curcumin Do?
Curcumin neutralizes free radicals… those nasty little chemicals that travel through your body and cause damage to healthy cells and cell membranes.
Which means curcumin effectivel...

Better than Aspirin for Your Heart
If you’ve been diagnosed with heart disease, the chances are you’ve been told to take low-dose aspirin every day as a preventative measure against heart attack and stroke.
It’s most commonly prescribed for patients with congestive heart failure. This is the inability of your heart to pump as much blood as your body needs.
And this is a big worry to me, because there is very little evidence that aspirin helps. In fact, regular use of aspirin — even baby aspirin — can do you more harm than good.
Common Aspirin Beliefs
The idea is that aspirin thins the blood, making it easier to pump. It is also s...

Visceral Fat Triggers Heart Disease
I tell my patients to avoid drinking soda not just because they make you fat.
Each sip of soda affects your health.
Soda puts you at risk for health problems like metabolic syndrome. This is a collection of symptoms that can lead to diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases, like cancer.
Soft drinks are the beverage of choice for millions of Americans.
The latest research now reveals that sodas are a major cause of visceral fat — the deadliest kind of fat you can have, inflaming your tissues, rotting your blood vessels and upsetting your body chemistry.
In a minute I’m going to tell you about a great healthy ...

This Vitamin Could Save Your Life
For years, I’ve recommended that my patients take a special family of super-nutrients with the power to boost their health and save their lives in at least a half a dozen ways.
I’m talking about tocotrienols, an especially potent form of vitamin E.
Tocotrienols, which comprise four out of the eight types of vitamin E, are powerful antioxidants that until recently were ignored by mainstream medicine.
But the patients at my wellness clinic and regular readers of my newsletter will know that I’ve recommended them as a critical nutrient for years.
And I do it because almost daily I observe the effects of the...

A Cross Between Ginger and a Carrot
I woke up with the sunlight … and birds singing so loudly I thought they were in the room with me.
I walked out of my cottage to a warm breeze, and sat down to a delicious breakfast: fresh fruit, banana pancakes and a tall glass of jackfruit juice.
I made my way to my friends Westi and Lelir’s house, where he greeted me with a long “pick and hoe” garden cultivating tool. Westi said, “Ready?” smiling, holding out the long handle towards me.
We walked up the steep hill behind his home to his private herb garden. I wondered what we might harvest today.
He stopped in front of a row of very tall plants and smiled, ...
