Science’s one-two punch against statins continues
And the walls that the American medical community has built around itself just keep tumbling down… But I’m not just here to applaud it… I’ll continue to act as one of the most outspoken voices spreading this news — to you, and hopefully, to everyone you know. Because the sooner word gets out, the better. […]
The first nail in the coffin for statin drugs
I’ve been waiting for this day to come for a long time. And praise the Lord, y’all — it’s here at last! Finally, we’re witnessing the beginning of the end of the statin empire. Not to put too fine a point on anything, of course… Because the researchers behind the finding I want to share […]
The newly discovered, unsettling consequence of poor sleep
I could fill a book with the number of problems caused by chronic sleep loss. Weight gain, poor blood sugar control, hypertension, increased cancer risk… you name it. But sometimes, the consequences are less obvious than that. In fact, sometimes, it doesn’t even take full-fledged insomnia to negatively affect your health. And this latest study […]
New research makes the same old case against PSA
Sometimes, it seems like the ongoing controversy over the risks and benefits of the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test will never end. Case in point: A new review shows that over the course of a decade, PSA screening reduces prostate cancer mortality by only a small amount — but it doesn’t have an effect on overall […]
Are these dangerous additives lurking in your home?
I honestly don’t know why the very organizations designed to protect us move so slowly. Are they really such big ships? And if they are, shouldn’t they be the first to recognize what a problem this is? The public’s health is at stake… and if these organizations can’t move as quickly as the data, then […]
Another day, another medical research scandal
You might say that my ideas seem libertarian at times — even bordering on conspiracy theory. But I can assure you that this isn’t a case of pathological paranoia. I’ve just been in this game for a long time… Long enough to know that it’s generally played for only one reason — money. I realize […]
Dodge cancer by eating an early dinner
The power of your circadian rhythms (or what I like to refer to as your “body clock”) can’t be overstated — whether your goal is to lose weight, dodge diabetes, or ward off a cancer diagnosis down the road. But there’s more to a balanced “body clock” than keeping a regular bedtime. Your mealtimes matter, […]
Weighing in on the latest “State of Obesity”
We just can’t seem to free ourselves from the death grip of the Standard American Diet (SAD), can we? And it’s not for lack of very loud objection on my part. The alarms desperately need to be sounded, even if no one in charge actually wants to listen. And clearly, they don’t. The powers-that-be are […]
The crooked truth behind modern cancer research
Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want. But you should know that I base these “theories” on real articles that simply state the facts. I don’t share all of these articles with you, obviously. But this latest one? Well, it’s a real doozy, to say the least. So today, let’s talk a little more […]
New product promises dairy without consequences
Let’s file this one under “you learn something new every day.” And yes, by “you” I also mean me. I’m not ashamed to admit that I do, in fact, continue to learn new things about the world of health on a regular basis. Whether it’s from scanning the headlines for this newsletter, or talking to […]
How future fathers can turn the tide on obesity
As you know, childhood obesity is a bit of a pet topic of mine. After all, I was an overweight kid. So I know firsthand what the modern diabesity epidemic is doing to our children. I also know that the fight for your child’s metabolic health can never start too early. In fact, we now […]
Mainstream medicine’s “sticks and stones” are no match for science
Sticks and stones may break our bones, but we have science behind us. Low-carb diets have come under some serious fire recently. And I just came across some commentary on the matter that raised a lot of the same questions I’m always asking. In particular, are these attacks motivated by science or politics? You can […]
The easier way to get better blood sugar results
I have to say, I’m getting pretty sick of the medical establishment’s refusal to understand even basic definitions in the field of nutritional medicine. And I’m even more sick of their attempts to research these concepts, despite their blatant ignorance. The end result is a bunch of poorly designed studies that deliver questionable results. And, […]
The memory loss mystery affecting 1 in 10 middle-aged Americans
There seems to be something in the air this time of year. More and more of my patients are complaining about stress, fatigue, forgetfulness, or feeling just plain overwhelmed. These types of complaints are par for the course — especially given that I practice and live in New York City, one of the most intense […]
The pill-free trick for beating depression
On Tuesday, I told you about new research suggesting that a simple supplement might succeed where popular antidepressants fail. And honestly, I can’t get enough of news like this — because I couldn’t possibly hate this class of drugs more than I already do… Their risks run the gamut from heart attack to premature death. […]
This weight-loss “wonder drug” may not kill you — but does it work?
In case you haven’t noticed, I despise prescribing medications for most issues. I believe in intervening with natural, holistic strategies first. But in very rare cases, even I have to resort to drug treatment. And this includes a handful of weight loss cases. So needless to say, I pay attention when there’s a new kid […]
Safe, natural hope for treatment-resistant depression
I’ve been a big fan of acetyl-l-carnitine — and its effect on brain health, in particular — for decades. So I can’t say the news I’m going to share with you today surprises me. It’s exciting, though. Because I’m always happy to see when new uses are discovered for old standbys. Especially when it gives […]
The fight for your brain starts in your heart
Your heart health and brain health go hand in hand — it’s a crucial connection I discuss with my patients all the time. And for once, we’re not talking about a link that’s only recognized by the field of integrative medicine. Luckily, even mainstream docs understand what’s good for your heart is also good for […]
Stop the slow-motion disaster of diabetes
Twenty years. That’s how far in advance the red flags of diabetes start to wave before a full-blown diagnosis. This is the conclusion of new research, which debuted at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD). And it’s enough to make you wonder how we’re still in the throes […]
An aspirin a day won’t keep the cardiologist away
I knew this day was going to come. It was just a matter of time. Modern medicine has built quite a house of cards with lies, deceit, half-truths, and pandering to any organization that will give them money. Needless to say, this has got to stop. And maybe now it finally will. Because lately, a […]
Are plastics paving the way to the apocalypse?
In all my years of practicing medicine, I’ve found there are only a few things men really worry about when it comes to their health: testosterone, prostate problems, erections, and dying of a heart attack. Obviously, there are a whole host of other concerns worth considering. But those four categories easily bring the most men […]
The PURE path to heart disease prevention
On what planet is a diet rich in fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes, fish, dairy, and unprocessed red meat considered controversial? It boggles my mind that we’re somehow still debating these facts today — despite a whole mountain of evidence to support the wisdom of this way of eating. And yet, when you read mainstream medicine’s […]
The real to key prostate relief most remedies completely ignore
Last week, I told you how many conventional prostate treatments have some serious shortcomings. The good news is, there are safe, effective alternatives that can give you the relief you desperately need. Of course, by now, most people have heard of saw palmetto. Years ago, it was hailed as the answer to prostate health. Then, […]
This kitchen staple can help men perform better in the bedroom
Every man wants the ability to perform sexually well into his later years. In this day and age, we have pills and injections for such things. But let’s not forget about the rudimentary basics — healthy eating and a healthy prostate. And a new study highlights the benefits of cooking with one simple, nutritious kitchen […]
Is “Big Health” causing the very diseases they claim to warn us about?
It never ceases to amaze me that people still think eating fat is unhealthy. We’ve known since the 1960s that fat is not our enemy. But that didn’t stop the American Heart Association (AHA), the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and countless other organizations from trying to convince you otherwise. I have to give credit where […]
The simple, drug-free way to eliminate your heart attack risk
I’m always so pleased when the conventional medical community switches gears (even for just a moment) and harkens back to the Hippocratic Oath: “First, do no harm.” Because so frequently, they seem to forget all about it. Especially when it comes to risk factors for diseases. Often times, doctors skip right over discussing preventative strategies […]
Why “one-size-fits-all” prostate support doesn’t work
If you’re a man over 50, you’re likely to have an enlarged prostate (technically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) — and all of the discomfort and embarrassment that comes with it. In fact, you may have already been subjected to mainstream doctors pushing invasive and often ineffective treatments on you. Treatments that also […]
The American Heart Association’s latest deadly recommendation
In yet another example of how clueless the “powers that be” in this country truly are, the American Heart Association (AHA) just released an official statement on low-calorie (a.k.a. artificial) sweeteners. The AHA believes there isn’t enough evidence on the long-term negative effects of artificially sweetened beverages. Not only that, but they say these kinds […]
Is your probiotic poisoning you?
It was only a matter of time before the backlash against probiotics started. In fact, new research wants you to think your probiotic is poisoning you! According to a new study, probiotic use was linked to significant build-up of bacteria in the small intestine, resulting in disorientation, brain fog, and rapid, significant belly bloating. This […]
Complete your prostate cancer-fighting regimen with this powerhouse
I talk a lot about prostate health. And for good reason. Science continues to show us there are many things men can do to protect themselves against prostate cancer. And as is often the case with most chronic diseases, the key to successful prevention and treatment is increasing your intake of certain minerals. Which leads […]
The real cost of those “free” flu shots
It’s that time of year again! The leaves are starting to change color… The mornings are crisp and cool… And flu shot propaganda is popping up everywhere you look. The mainstream medicine “powers that be” are so desperate for people to get a flu shot, they’re even giving them away for free! Look, I love […]
BREAKING NEWS: Scientists uncover the cause of autism
It was only a matter of time until we unlocked the true cause of autism. Let’s face it — there’s no way we could have drastically changed the odds from one in 30,000 children to one in 700 in just one generation, unless we were doing something to influence it. Recently, scientists have just uncovered […]
The truth behind those “organic” and “non-GMO” labels
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a weird organization. (Even more so now that it has an incompetent human at its helm. Of course, in all fairness, this incompetence did precede him…) I know I talk about this agency’s shortcomings a lot. But today I want to hone in on how it handles the […]
The rare but serious strep throat side effect to watch for in your kids
The beauty of my practice is that I get to know entire families: Children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents — even extended family and friends. I feel so honored to have the opportunity. (And trust me — it makes healing people much easier when you have a wealth of information at your disposal from the loved ones […]
The simple mineral secret for stopping diabetes in its tracks
Diabetes has become an epidemic in this country. And I’m always looking for ways to help stop this devastating disease. Recently, a new study reinforced something I’ve been saying for years: Magnesium needs to be part of every diabetes-prevention plan. A few years ago, I told you about study findings that showed magnesium’s ability to […]
Beware this dangerous, stroke-inducing drug combo
I spent a good portion of my medical residency taking people off of unnecessary medications — and it’s still a primary focus in my practice to this day. So I’ll never understand why mainstream doctors almost never really look into all of the medications their patients are taking to determine if they’re actually necessary. Taking […]
New research uncovers promising, drug-free psoriasis treatment
It’s no surprise that changing your diet can change your body. And yet, the scientific community continues to pour money into studies to observe what we already know. For instance, a new literature review from the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board (NPF Board) has concluded that dietary changes, used in conjunction with standard medical therapies, […]
If your gut isn’t healthy, neither are you
The number of bacteria living in your intestines actually exceeds the number of cells in your body. So it’s important to keep them healthy. That might give you the creepy crawlies, but I assure you — they serve a very important purpose. In fact, science has been showing just how much our guts control everything […]
Avoid going under the knife for this common painful problem
There’s no question that gallstones hurt. For many, the pain seems to suddenly attack, and can stick around for anywhere from one to four hours. Oftentimes, these attacks send people rushing to the ER, scared for their lives. If you get these attacks regularly, your doctor will probably recommend surgery, with the same indifference he […]
“Controversial” therapy reverses type 2 diabetes in men
I wish I knew why mainstream medicine hates testosterone replacement therapy so much. The fact is, testosterone therapy is one of the most beneficial treatments I use in my practice. Period. And quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of the smear campaign against it. The mainstream continuously chooses to hone in on the potential side […]
