Taking Vitamins and Still Feeling Sick?

Ever go to a restaurant where they refuse to cook your steak medium rare?

The warning that your meat is not safe unless you cook it until it’s dry and brown is bad advice. It’s not justified by the facts and cooking your food that way can cause arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

This indiscriminate overcooking of food is a bad idea. It denatures protein, breaks down vitamins and removes nutrients. Now I’ve uncovered an even more serious concern. Many cooking techniques that achieve a high temperature trigger a chemical change called glycation that mimics aging. New studies have linked eating these foods to premature aging and a host of chronic diseases.

What This Doctor Did for His Wife

I meet a lot of alternative health doctors through my Wellness Research Foundation. When Dr. David Minkoff told me his story, I needed to share it with you.

Dr. Minkoff was an emergency doctor for the Community Hospital of New Port Richey, Fla. when his wife Sue started getting sick.

She was tired all the time. She had three bouts with subacute thyroiditis, swelling of the thyroid gland that causes a host of health problems. Pain attacked her major muscle groups. She was so weak she couldn’t even lift a toothbrush.

Yet medicine couldn’t diagnose her. They ran a battery of tests for viruses… MS… ALS… nothing. They gave up.

Dr. Minkoff took his wife’s health into his own hands. He turned to alternative medicine. He dug and dug until he found the answer. What did he discover? Sue’s fillings had poisoned her.

Drug Scam Led Doctors to Kill Women

All of the doctors I know are well trained and well intentioned. But sometimes putting your faith in the system gets you in trouble.

The pharmaceutical giant Wyeth is being sued over its synthetic hormone drugs Premarin and Prempro. They are alleging the drugs can cause cancer and heart disease. During the discovery process, they uncovered a scam.

And what a doozy this scam is!

This Metal Repairs Your DNA

Every hour of the day, your cells are under attack. Normally, this is okay because your cells have a built-in DNA repair system that fixes any damage. But when your cells are undernourished, they can lose the ability to repair themselves. And that’s bad news.

Part of the reason for the explosion of cancer in modern times is because we’re not repairing our DNA. Our bodies aren’t getting enough of the nutrients we need to make this process work.

But you can help protect yourself with a simple mineral. I’m talking about zinc…

100 Greatest Cures

Diabetes doesn’t have to be something you live with. Most people don’t know this, but you can easily train your body to prevent – and reverse – diabetes.

I’ve seen it firsthand. I’ve successfully treated hundreds of diabetics and prediabetics in my practice. My patients have used this plan to:

Dr. Sears’ Personal Fat Loss Regimen

I’m in the same boat as everyone else. Occasionally, I discover that I’ve put on a few extra pounds. So I have to refocus.

When I was getting ready to climb Humphries Peak, I didn’t want to carry any extra weight up the mountain with me. Even a few pounds can make a difference in a climb like that.

So I decided to get lean. I made some simple changes and dropped 15 lbs. quickly.

You can do it too. Here’s what I did.

Beat Cancer with Exercise?

Here’s one for you: PACE may save you from cancer.

A new study shows that high intensity exercise cuts your risk of getting cancer in half.1

The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, followed Finnish men for 16 years. It tracked the type of activity the men did each week. And it found that the higher the intensity of the exercise, the lower the risk of getting cancer…

Poison, Beauty Aid or Cure?

Not everyone wants to inject poison into their face. And that’s how a lot of folks feel about Botox.

I don’t blame you. But Botox is also misunderstood.

Botox is naturally occurring and when used properly can do more than take the wrinkles off an aging movie star.

It can end migraines, prostate problems, and muscle spasms. That’s what studies using Botox are showing. We are finding that Botox is not only good for cosmetic anti-aging; it may also ease some very irritating conditions…

Calcium Supplements Don’t Build Strong Bones

Don’t waste your money on calcium supplements.

If you’re taking them hoping to build strong bones and avoid osteoporosis you’ll be let down on both fronts.

Doctors and drug companies push the idea that the best way to treat and prevent osteoporosis is by taking lots of calcium. This simply isn’t true.

Osteoporosis isn’t caused by a lack of calcium…

German Secret That Won Olympic Gold

Eighty years ago, two Germans figured out a brilliant way to burn fat fast.

Back in the 1930s, a German doctor and a track coach got together and invented this brilliant training technique.

The athletes sprinted 200 meters and rested for a short time.

Then they did again. A 200-meter sprint followed by a short period of rest. And again.

It worked. Their students broke world record after world record. Roger Banister, the first man to run the mile in under 4 minutes, used this workout.

Astonishing Study Puts You in Control of Your Genes

We used to believe that there was nothing you could do about your genes. You were stuck with what you were born with. In fact, you can turn your genes on and off or not use them at all.

A new study proves you can alter your genes with what you eat. It showed that more than 1,000 genes were changed in just six months simply by getting more of a key nutrient…

Turn Your Body into a Fat-Burning Furnace By Eating MORE Fat

Have you seen this ad for one of those fake butter spreads?

It features a 1950s family called the “Buttertons.” The mother serves the family entire sticks of butter shoved into baked potatoes. The voiceover says something like, “Back then we didn’t know much about cholesterol and saturated fats… Today, we know better.”

That means they’re telling you that you shouldn’t eat fat. It’s remarkable that this message is still dominant in the mainstream media.

The truth is we don’t eat a high fat diet. We eat less fat than our ancestors did. And yet we’re the ones with obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, clogged arteries and high blood pressure…

Ever Heard of Constipated Cavemen?

I changed the picture on my letters to you.

I’m amazed how many of you wrote to me with comments:

“Not trying to be critical but your new appearance makes you look like the caveman on the Geico commercial.”

“Dr. Sears’ Neanderthal look is like those Viking guys on the TV commercials. Cool!”

A lot of folks are asking me, “Why?”

Penny is Losing It…

Penny is always cheerful and ready to help.

But right now she just can’t keep up.

Penny has to answer your questions by phone and e-mail. Yesterday morning, Penny turned on her computer and watched 600 e-mails pour into her inbox. Before she could take her first sip of coffee all three customer service lines started ringing off the hook.

Everyone wants the same thing: My new “fat burning pill.”

Headed for A Heart Attack in Five Years?

It might surprise you to learn that nearly 85 percent of coronary bypass surgeries are done unnecessarily. But at nearly $60,000 per surgery it’s certainly easy to see why. Since almost 70 percent of the U.S. population has some sort of heart disease—related treatments, surgeries, and drugs line the pockets of mainstream medicine and big pharma. It ultimately puts your health at risk and this infuriates me.
