More parlor tricks are ahead for your salad. Researchers are working on a more flavorful tomato through gene-isolating technology. This is not the introduction of genes from another species, as was the case with the GMO Flavr-Savr tomato, but neither is it traditional plant breeding. If you are old enough, you will recall that tomatoes […]
Meanwhile, the FDA won’t stop trying to eliminate brain health supplements. We think they want to clear the field for when they finally do approve a drug. Two years ago we reported that Eli Lilly had a potential blockbuster drug for Alzheimer’s in the third and final phase of FDA trials. If it won approval, […]
Do you want this stuff on your dinner plate? Action Alert! Researchers have conducted a groundbreaking new study that shows a link between Roundup and severe liver damage. The study found that Roundup administered to rats at extremely low doses caused non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) over two years. NAFLD can lead to cirrhosis, and […]
Another example of profits coming before people in the medical establishment. (Note that prostate and breast cancers have many similarities, so women may want to read this for themselves as well as for the men in their lives.) Last year, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published an editorial advising doctors to be […]
How strontium can help you rebuild your bones. Last December, a seventy-seven year old woman (we’ll call her Sarah, although that’s not her real name) told me that she’d been advised that her recent bone scan was 100% normal. In 2010, she’d been told she was “into osteoporosis.” She’d been advised to use a patent […]
PABA (vitamin B10) can help treat Peyronie’s disease and scleroderma. Side effects are very rare and disappear when PABA treatment is decreased or discontinued. So far, no researchers have discovered the cause of either Peyronie’s disease or scleroderma. Peyronie’s disease (scar tissue forming in the penis which can progress to causing curvature, sometimes severe) […]
Major medical journals don’t want women to know of effective natural treatments for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It’s happened again! Another major American medical journal has refused to inform physicians—and of course without publication, the physicians won’t know to inform their patients—that there’s a safe, effective, and rapidly active (within three days!) cure for […]
Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Like other organs, it needs to be nourished and protected from damaging stressors. The damage can be from sunlight, inflammation, and limited blood supply, which can deplete the antioxidant nutrients. If the depletion of nutrients persists, our skin ages and wrinkles are formed. A study published in the […]
Research shows that going on a roller coaster can help pass kidney stones. A rapidly administered intravenous “push” of magnesium can also provide relief. Kidney stones bothering you? Often it’s much more than just a bother. Ask anyone who’s had kidney stones: they can hurt—from a little, to very, very much! What to do to […]
Pesticides in your Froot Loops is only one of the problems. The Kellogg Company recently announced it was pulling ads from a news agency it felt was “not aligned with our values as a company.” Fair enough. But this leads to an obvious question: the “values” the company says it is protecting—just what are they? […]
