Or just legalize an alternative? Following a politically disastrous failure to repeal and replace Obamacare earlier this year, reports suggest that House Republicans are “close” to a plan that might pass. We’ll report on this as soon as details become available. One thing, however, remains abundantly clear: consumer control must be central to any healthcare […]
The opioid epidemic is wreaking havoc—destroying lives and families—and the only true solution is through natural alternatives. Increasingly, people are waking up to this fact. More than 30,000 Americans each year die of opioid overdoses, half of which involve a prescription painkiller, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The crisis of […]
President Trump’s pick for FDA commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, faced Congress recently. As you know, this nomination could prove pivotal for the future of natural health. It is important for our readers to be aware of his background. Dr. Gottlieb is currently a practicing physician at Stamford Hospital in Connecticut, and a resident fellow at […]
Those taking aspirin every day to thin blood and reduce stroke risk, take heed. Researchers have found that, compared to those taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation (irregular and fast beating of the heart that can lead to stroke), patients taking aspirin were 1.9 times more likely to suffer a heart attack. The same paper found […]
Promising studies are lacking follow-up and funding. The problem? The solutions are too cheap! One such potential treatment is an experimental, synthetic cancer drug—DCA (dichloroacetate)—which has, in the early stages of clinical trials, demonstrated effectiveness at fighting cancer. The drug seems to exhibit antitumor effects against several forms of cancer, including brain, cervical, prostate, breast, […]
Need another reason to avoid prescription drugs? Researchers in Sweden followed 1,744 Swedes between the ages of 40 and 90 years old for ten years and found that their performance on a “smell test” was linked to their chance of death, adding to a growing body of literature which suggests that the olfactory sense provides […]
This is the choice that far too many patients face with our conventional medical system. FDA-approved cancer treatments like chemotherapy are poisoning patients. A recent analysis found that cancer drugs are themselves killing up to 50% of patients within thirty days, indicating that chemotherapy was the cause of death, not the cancer. Of course, chemotherapy […]
This vitamin attacks the root of cancers. Exciting new research found that vitamin C is ten times more effective at targeting and disrupting cancer stem cells than a pharmaceutical cancer drug. Vitamin C is cheap, safe, and natural—but it won’t make money for drug companies, so don’t expect to hear anything about it from the […]
New evidence on this crucial vitamin gives hope to patients with sepsis—but it won’t make money for drug companies. Sepsis—the invasion of the body by pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins—kills more people in hospitals than any other disease. Of the million people that get sepsis every year, it kills 300,000, in part because doctors haven’t […]
This isn’t the way to fix American healthcare. Last week, the Trump administration released its proposed 2018 budget. The document includes a proposal to increase the user fees the FDA collects from pharmaceutical companies to $2 billion—twice as much as in 2017, according to the president’s budget. The rationale provided in the budget for this […]
