Got Real Milk?

Yesterday there was a report in The Wall Street Journal that once again attacked unpasteurized milk.

The FDA has been scaring Americans about this natural food product for decades.

I come from a family of farmers, and milk was a staple of my diet growing up.

We’d have it delivered to the house in glass bottles and go through a gallon a week per person. When I’d go to my grandma’s, she’d pour me a glass straight from the bucket… straight from the cow.

Back then, we never worried about whether milk was raw or pasteurized, and we were healthy, strong, and never sick a day…

3 Foods You Should Never Eat

If you enjoy breakfast or lunch on-the-go, I understand. Our lives are so busy; we don’t always have time to cook.

But beware: Some “convenience foods” aren’t worth it. You’ll pay for it with added inches to your waistline. And those excess pounds lead to chronic diseases like obesity, cancer, and heart disease.

Here are three foods that will put you on the fast track to fat:

Nature’s Cure for Indigestion

You sit down to a fine meal. A couple hours later you develop heartburn, and you reach for an antacid. One doesn’t work. So you take another. You’re bloated, gassy, and miserable. Nothing helps, so you try to go to sleep. Then at 3 a.m., you wake up with the worst burning pain you can imagine.

Clearly, antacids are not the answer.

Here’s some good news… sometimes heartburn and other digestive problems are solved by digestive enzymes.

This Is Your Brain on Margarine

There’s now another reason to avoid margarine. It can make you stupid.

According to researchers at the University of Auckland, children who ate margarine every day had significantly lower IQ scores by the age of three-and-a-half than those who did not.1

And children who were underweight at birth had scores that were even lower by the time they were seven.

The tragedy here is that margarine was sold to us as a “healthier” alternative to butter. In fact, it may be the unhealthiest “food” ever created…

Happy-Go-Lucky…

I just saw Terri Lyttle…

She came into my office first thing this morning. She had a big smile and went around saying hello to everyone. I’ve never seen her happier.

Terri’s my patient who lost 45 pounds by walking for 45 seconds. If you knew Terri a few months ago, you’d understand. She wasn’t always so happy-go-lucky. When she first came to see me, she was tired, frustrated, and very overweight.

Today her feet barely touch the ground.

In case you missed it, I included Terri’s story below…

Heart Breaking News About Athletes

Here’s the most important thing about exercise for your heart…

Endurance training, like cardiovascular endurance (“cardio” for short), is not the only thing your heart and lungs need. It won’t keep your heart and lungs from shrinking with age. And it won’t make your heart less prone to disease.

Here’s proof…

The Health Secret That Fueled an Empire

Not long ago, I trekked through the Amazon jungles of Peru in search of healing herbs. Instead, I found something far more valuable: Sacha Inchi – the “super food” of the ancient Incas.

This oil – which comes from nuts, not fish – is so effective and nutrient dense, it’s the first real health breakthrough I’ve seen in the last decade.

My trip turned out to be a real adventure…

Every ER Carries This Miracle Powder

There’s a powerful substance every hospital in the country carries in their ER to treat poison victims.

It’s so potent that one gram of it – an amount the size of your fingernail – can absorb enough toxins to fill the square footage of four tennis courts.

I’m talking about activated charcoal.

It’s a form of carbon that’s been processed into a fine, black powder. It’s odorless, tasteless, and safe to consume. And it’s more readily available than you think.

Two Things You Need to Be Beautiful – CoQ10

Your skin needs two things to be beautiful:

1. Water, and…
2. Good nutrition

But there’s a problem. As you age, your skin loses the ability to hold water and take in nutrients. That leads to dry, sagging skin.

Here’s the good news:

You simply need an effective way to keep water in your cells and get more of the nutrients you need.

Here at my clinic, I use a rejuvenating formula that restores youthful skin, without the chemicals that pollute your skin.

Here’s how it works:

A Teaspoon for a Lifetime

Remember the red stuff your mom put on cuts and scrapes?

It contained iodine, a mineral that kills germs. But iodine is more than just an antiseptic you put on your skin. It’s a trace element essential for life. A teaspoon is all you need in a lifetime, but most people in the U.S. are deficient.

The tragedy is that many doctors don’t recognize iodine’s role in disease. You may suffer from chronic fatigue and hear “there’s no cure.” Your cholesterol or blood pressure is too high, and nothing short of drugs brings it down. Or the doctor tells you the cysts in your breasts or ovaries lead to cancer.

You may have one of these things as a result of a simple iodine deficiency.

What You Need First After Exercising

Do you dread those everyday aches and pains so much that it keeps you from exercising in the first place?

You don’t have to let those aches and pains stop you anymore.

It’s possible to eliminate muscle aches and stiffness immediately after working out. And you can help rebuild your muscles at the same time.

What you have to do is immediately put back things you use up during exercise. This means carbohydrates and proteins…

Waiting to Exhale

On my last trip to India, I met a yoga teacher at the center where I stayed. Every morning we’d wake before dawn. As we watched the sunrise over the mountain, he taught me how to breathe.

Yoga breathing balances your parasympathetic nervous system. This is your “rest and digest” system. It’s what makes you relax and recuperate. These days, we’re so over-stimulated, we’re always in a state of “fight or flight” (your sympathetic nervous system). Too much stimulation leads to an over dominance of sympathetic tone.

Breathing can change that…

Did You See This in TIME?

Did you see the recent cover of TIME magazine?

In a special issue on aging, TIME featured the Nobel Prize winning breakthrough on telomere research.

In the article, Scientists Get Closer to Understanding Why We Age, they confirmed that telomeres “are the closest we may come to identifying a biological clock – and our best bet for learning how to stop or turn back that clock.”1

If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know telomeres are the part of your chromosome that gets smaller as you age. When the telomere runs out, cell division stops, and life comes to an end.

How I Get My Energy

Today I want to tell you about something I use to get my energy.

You can use this yourself to get energized without caffeine, herbs, or sugar.

This energy boost helps me focus and stay alert… and I don’t get tired as much.

I give it to my patients when they want more energy.

They say they “jump out of bed” in the morning instead of feeling stiff and cranky. They call it their best source of energy. And they stock up on it just in case we run out…

New York City Takes On Salt

Did you see the January 10th New York Times report about salt?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently named it his next “Public Enemy #1.”

His health department already banned trans-fats in restaurants. And forced calorie counts to be listed on menus. Now they’re taking on salt.

The real question they should be asking is not “Should you eat salt or not?” It’s “What kind of salt should you eat?”

The Truth About “Vitamin Sunshine”

You can lower your risk of 17 types of cancer by 77%, just by taking a simple nutrient:

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin.”

Even if you take vitamins, you’re probably not getting enough D. In fact, in one study I read, when over 1,200 people were randomly screened, more than 87% had a vitamin D deficiency.

My patients do their best to get in the sun and take supplements. But when they come to my clinic, their levels of vitamin D are still too low.
