Has your doctor recommended you take a statin (cholesterol-lowering) drug?
In the old days, almost all of my heart patients were on statins. These days, even people who don’t have heart problems are taking them.
Most doctors have good intentions. They prescribe statins as a preventative. This sounds great until you look at just a few of the side effects from taking these drugs:
In just minutes a day, you can program your genes to stay younger longer.
There’s new evidence that PACE-style movement slows down your aging clock, lengthening your life and making you more resistant to disease.
The professor that led the study said, “The act of exercising may actually protect the body against the aging process… and people may actually look and feel younger.”1
Research now shows that exercise has the power to turn back time. Exercise affects your telomeres, making them longer and stronger. The telomere is your biological clock. It determines how long you live. And how well you live…
A revealing study found something very important. For some reason, I find that people have a hard time believing it. But because it is so valuable, let’s see if I can convince you…
People who eat low-carb, high-protein diets lose fat and gain muscle.1
In fact, in this study, the people who ate a high-protein diet shed seven pounds in six weeks. The group who followed a standard diet didn’t drop any weight. And, the high-protein group simultaneously gained twice as much muscle…
Most of the heart patients I see for the first time already know high blood pressure can mean disaster for their heart health.
But here’s what they don’t know.
Having high blood pressure can also wreak havoc on your brain, kidneys, and eyes.
Here’s the scary part…
High blood pressure can quietly damage these vital organs for years before you see any symptoms. If left unchecked, this silent killer can leave you with a disability. Or worse, it can lead to a heart attack or stroke…
There’s a hidden switch in every cell of your body. It controls how long you live… and when you die.
It has the power to extend life – maybe indefinitely.
Most doctors have never heard of it.
A group of scientists stumbled upon it just 10 years ago. They watched in awe as generation after generation of cells multiplied… without aging.
As one top researcher put it in a Harvard report, “With this switch turned on, these cells become ‘immortalized.’”1
Until very recently, we didn’t know how to activate it. Today we do…
You know that I don’t often tell you to take supplements when you can find it in food. But there is one supplement I recommend to all of my patients and take myself every day.
It is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
CoQ10 puts cancer into remission and is such a powerful heart cure, it reverses heart disease. It acts like a generator for every organ in your body. It increases energy so they function at their best.
CoQ10 is key to the protection of your body’s cells. It’s just like the key you use to lock your front door, keeping you safe and secure. Without enough CoQ10, your cells become weak and open to attack.
Now, CoQ10 is proven to fight what I believe is the root cause of all disease: inflammation…
Recently in the news there was an important report regarding the cholesterol-lowering drug ezetimibe – being marketed as Zetia.
A trial comparing the drug to niacin was halted mid-stream.
Why? Most likely because the result was not what they expected. It doesn’t improve HDL. It also increases the thickness of artery walls.
This past holiday season, I had a few patients come to me after taking antidepressants.
The drugs weren’t doing anything for them. This is something I see all too often.
Antidepressants are prescribed for everything under the sun. Many times for symptoms that don’t even fall under the prescription guidelines.
But it’s big business. In a recent study, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that antidepressant drugs are the most prescribed drug in America.
Unfortunately, they rarely work. In fact, they can do more harm than good…
My team and I have discovered a truly new weight-loss system.
One of the first people at our clinic to use my new system was Penny McLean in our Customer Service Department.
“I had put on a few extra pounds that I could not take off,” says Penny. “I was just too busy and preoccupied with work and personal obligations to watch carefully over what I ate.”
But during this time, she also took one capsule of my breakthrough weight-loss formula 20 minutes before each meal with a big glass of water.
The result?…
Did you know that, when tested, newborn babies have an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants already present in their blood?1
Then, as we make our way through life, toxins enter our body through the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and even through our skin.
The world we were designed to live in over millions of years has recently changed. And our bodies haven’t adapted quickly enough to flush out the countless man-made chemicals, toxins, and pollutants that are now present in our everyday lives…
Flu season hit us this year with a vengeance. With the swine flu (H1N1), it’s an epidemic.
And it’s not over yet. Moms are in a panic, waiting for a cough or fever that signals the start of a serious, contagious disease. It’s not entirely unreasonable to worry, because the flu results in approximately 30,000 deaths a year.1
But there is something you can do about it. Prevention is as close as your cupboard…
With a simple test I can tell you if you’re likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
I can also give you a remedy to help make sure you never do – no matter how high your risk is…
The test checks for levels of homocysteine. It’s your number one indicator of heart disease.
The big drug makers play down the importance of this critical factor. They haven’t figured out a way to make any money from it, so they try to convince you that it doesn’t matter.
Turns out knowing your homocysteine level is even more useful than we thought. Homocysteine can foretell a host of other diseases as well…
Since I first told you about Terri’s remarkable PACE transformation, my office has received hundreds of calls, emails, and letters from people around the country.
They all want to know one thing:
How did Terri drop 68 pounds (and counting!) just from walking for 45 seconds, then resting?
It flies in the face of everything you’ve been told about exercise and weight reduction. What about doing hours of cardio? What about jumping around in aerobics class and sweatin’ to the oldies?
Terri is proof that you don’t need aerobics and cardio. You never did…
You can beat fat and knock out diabetes this New Year.
In my practice I use a handful of minerals and herbs that naturally improve your body’s response to insulin. They’re safe and keep your blood sugar in check.
My friend and colleague Dr. Michael Cutler sent me an email with a very good round-up of the best herbs and minerals.
These insights mirror my own research, and I wanted to share them with you…
Many minerals – like iron and zinc and selenium – are essential to life. Without them, your body could not function. And because your body can’t make them, you need a reliable source from your diet.
On commercial farms, the soil no longer has the minerals it used to. That means you may be suffering from a mineral deficiency…
There may be a big problem with your CoQ10.
When you take your CoQ10, you should feel more energy, greater endurance, and quicker, clearer thinking. These benefits are well established.1,2,3
Yet, patients tell me they don’t feel any different with CoQ10. And when they show me their bottle, I immediately know why…
