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.

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...

Nicotinamide riboside (vitamin B3) prevents nerve pain caused by cancer drugs
(University of Iowa Health Care) A new study in rats suggests that nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, may be useful for treating or preventing nerve pain (neuropathy) caused by chemotherapy drugs. The findings by researchers at the University of Iowa were published recently in the Journal of the International Association for the Study of Pain (PAIN) and lay the groundwork for testing whether this nutritional supplement can reduce nerve pain in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
