Lower Blood Pressure Naturally With This Herb From Bali
My latest book, Healing Herbs of Paradise, has been a great success! Readers from all around the globe have written to tell me how much they love it — and how they’re already using what they’ve learned from the book to improve their health.
If you’re a regular reader, you know I’ve been traveling the world for more than 20 years in search of natural cures. I’ve seen so many beautiful places and discovered so many healing remedies that aren’t on mainstream medicine’s radar… but nothing prepared me for the wonder of Bali.
Not only its beauty — but its abundance of plants, herb...

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’...

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 ...

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 stiff awkwa...

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...

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...

Rooibos: Better Than Green Tea For Many Reasons
When I hiked Table Mountain on my last trip to South Africa, the locals told me about an herb that is better than green tea that kept them disease-free.
African Bushmen have used this herb since before recorded history, but it’s still pretty rare here in America.
Studies on this plant are being done all over the world. But not in the U.S.
Because Big Pharma and the FDA aren’t interested in a natural cure that can’t be patented — or profited from.
What is This South African Herb?
I’m talking about an herb called Rooibos — or red bush in Afrikaans. Rooibos (pronounced roy-boss) provides a whole lo...

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...

Vitamin D Deficiency Is As Dangerous As Smoking
The advice you’re getting from your doctor, the TV and even the Surgeon General is so wrong, it’s scary.
They’re all busy telling you to stay out of the sun.
But Swedish researchers recently discovered that nonsmokers who avoid the sun have a life expectancy similar to smokers who spend a lot of time in the sun.
Staying out of the sun is as dangerous as smoking.1
It doesn’t surprise me. I tell all my patients sunlight exposure is essential to our health because it is the best source of vitamin D… possibly the most important nutrient we know of.
Mainstream medicine still doesn’t recognize th...

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 Can Save Your Brain
Your brain has amazing abilities. And it can heal itself.
That’s not something you’re likely to hear from mainstream medicine — especially if you or a loved one suffer from the effects of stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or another form of dementia.
Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve seen many people with brain damage. And, sadly, most have been deemed “hopeless” by so-called medical experts.
But I can tell you there is nothing hopeless about dementia — no matter what its cause. With the right nutrients, there are times when brain damage can be reversed.
And now recent research from...

Shortcut to Better Brain Power
Natural caffeine is one of the oldest stimulants in the world. And it’s loaded with health benefits.
It can enhance your mental clarity and focus, and it’s a potent antioxidant… as long as you take it in moderation and it comes from natural sources.
But the problem with most energy drinks these days is the caffeine itself. It’s unnatural and synthetic.
We’ve known for a long time that the antioxidant power of caffeine cuts the risk of dying from heart disease or developing Alzheimer’s.
But now a study from the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, researchers looked at 30 years of data...

Dr. Sears Saves Hospital Patient?
Since I started practicing “telemedicine” at my Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine — the response has been just incredible.
Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s health status.
You can now have private consultations with me or my clinical team from the comfort of your own home — through a live video stream.
Tele-patients use tele-health service to receive advice or treatment from another location.
I’m delighted for all my new patients that have already registered to become “tele-patients” from acros...

Can Oxygen Therapy Bring Dead Brain Cells Back To Life?
During my Palm Beach Anti-Aging Summit in October, I’m hosting some of the world’s leading authorities on oxygen therapy.
The Summit coincides with the grand opening of my 17,000-sq.-ft. Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, where I’m unveiling a specially-designed room that houses my first hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
I hope you’ll be there, as you’ll discover the newest applications and breakthroughs in this growing field. You see, when oxygen is pressurized — like it is when you’re inside the chamber — you can treat more than just chronic disease.
Truth is, hyperbaric oxygen can...
