    Let Your Brain Breathe

    Your brain isn’t like the rest of your body.

    Without a constant fresh supply of oxygen to your brain cells, they die. Plain and simple.

    And the longer it goes on, the greater your chances are of suffering from forgetfulness and brain fog.

    When that happens, you’ll start to cover your refrigerator with sticky notes – because you can’t remember anything without writing it down. You’ll pick up the phone, like you have a thousand times, to dial your daughter and suddenly forget her phone number. You’ll talk to someone and lose your train of thought in mid-sentence.

    But there’s good news…..

    It’s Not In Your Mind

    Remember when doctors told men that if they were having sexual problems, it was all in their heads? We know better now that what they said … 90 percent of it is in your head … was exactly wrong. It was more a result of the darn drugs the doctor was giving you.

    Now they’re doing a similar thing to women.

    Let me explain …

    Human Horsepower

    I’m sure you’ve seen the ads for those little energy shots you can get in all the drug stores and gas stations. They promise you that you won’t get that “afternoon feeling” and that you’ll get the energy of coffee without the crash …

    …except it’s not true.

    Those products stimulate you with synthetic caffeine. That makes them worse than, not better than coffee. You are going to get jitters and you’re going to hit rock bottom.

    The reason that happens is that caffeine causes you to release an “energy transmitter” in your brain. The problem is that the caffeine causes depletion of this “energy transmitter.” Then, you feel worse than you did to start with.

    Breathe a Sigh of Relief

    Have you ever thought about how our terms to describe breathing are tied to life: respiration has the same root as spirit and inspire… inhale and exhale have the same root as hale, meaning exceptional health and vigor.

    There are plenty of examples in our language of words related to breath that mean life …

    But in the modern world, we’re so distracted, we sometimes take our breath for granted.

    Why I Never Worry About Using My Cell Phone

    I’ve been concerned about the effects of cell phones for a long time. That’s because your cell phone is constantly sending and receiving radio waves, which sit right next to microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum. Microwaves are just a bit higher frequency – shorter and faster.

    And Austrian scientists found that those radio waves are probably not the best thing for you. They found that RF signals from mobile phones can lead to stress at a cellular level.

    “Dr. Sears, Are You OK?”

    When I realized my new sleep remedy worked so well, I got excited thinking about all of my patients who can finally sleep better. Patients like Al, a 59-year old executive who travels so much, his body’s confused from all of the time-zone changes.

    Then there’s Pamela, a single mom and working woman. She’s so stressed about paying the bills and having enough time for her son, she often lies awake at night. As she puts it, “I can’t seem to shut off my brain!”

    And Carol, a sweet woman in her early 70s who always comes to her appointments showing the latest pictures of her grandchildren. She seems relaxed and loves retired life, but she can’t sleep more than five hours a night.

    Chances are you know what it’s like to wake up groggy in the morning, wishing you slept more. The simple truth is, missing a good night’s sleep is not good for your overall health and vitality.

    Beat the Blues This Winter

    Your body depends on getting enough sunlight every day to function properly. Nature designed you that way. Our ancestors lived outdoors every moment of their lives. They hunted meat, fish and fowl. They ate, worked, gathered, celebrated, worshipped and mourned under the sun. So your cells, organs, bones and tissues evolved to rely on sunlight.

    But just before the turn of the 20th century, our living conditions changed. It started with the invention of the light bulb, which gave us an artificial way to generate light. The industrial revolution soon followed, and people started migrating to the cities and working indoors.

    One More Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

    Anti-psychotic drugs were originally created and sold only to treat schizophrenia and extreme manic depressive disorder.

    But now they’re no longer just being prescribed for mental illnesses that incapacitate people. And that’s how the drug companies have managed to make this the number-one selling class of drugs.

    Don’t Let Grandma Take This…

    There’s a new king of the hill in the drug world. It’s no longer statins – the most popular category of drugs to lower cholesterol and the biggest money-making drug of the past decade. Now there’s a new giant dominating that huge industry. And guess what it is? Anti-psychotics, the drugs they use in mental hospitals, of all things.

    This Helps Keep My Mind Clear All Day…

    It’s a clean rush of energy without the crash. And there’s none of the jittery, nervous energy you get from coffee. What’s more, it does something no cup of coffee could ever do … it helps give you sparkling clarity of mind with an alertness that lets you think quickly. I’ll bet you’ll notice the lift right away. If you do crosswords, don’t be surprised if you finish them in a fraction of the time it used to take. Things like organization and recall just fall into place.

    Can a Flower Make You Smarter?

    Can a Flower Make You Smarter?

    Doctors in Europe know about its miraculous IQ-boosting power and recommend it to millions. Yet in the U.S. it remains nothing more than a garden flower.

    Vinpocetine Flower I’m talking about the periwinkle – otherwise known as Vinca minor. It’s more than a source of beautiful blue in your garden – it’s the source of a miraculous brain-booster called vinpocetine…

    Better Than Coffee

    Better Than Coffee

    People love this stuff, so in case you missed this…

    I have something that will electrify you… It’s even better than coffee.

    When I was hiking through the Amazon Rain Forest last year, I had a first-hand experience with a remarkable healing herb.

    This rain forest herb gives you lasting energy – without the crash.

    Sacred to the nearby Guarani tribe, it was literally a gift the gods. According to tribal folklore, the Indians of the Amazon River Basin have been using it to prevent fatigue and increase physical endurance since before recorded history.

    Do Cell Phones Cause Brain Tumors

    Do Cell Phones Cause Brain Tumors

    Did you know your cell phone emits electro-magnetic radiation?

    What’s more, when you’re on your phone; these electro-magnetic waves penetrate into your head and brain. Even when you’re not using it, your cell phone sends electro-magnetic waves into your body.

    This is something entirely new to the human race, and may be a threat to our health.

    Here’s the problem: Your body has its own electro-magnetic field. And the waves from your phone interfere with this field.

    Would You Put Your Head in a Microwave?

    Would You Put Your Head in a Microwave?

    Your cell phone cooks your head in the same way your microwave heats up leftover meatloaf.

    In fact, there’s new research that shows just how much your head is being cooked.

    One study German researchers found:

    Using your cell phone for just 4 minutes heats up the side of your head by as much as 7 degrees.1

    If the numbers are right, it’s scary. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. Many other doctors and researchers have concerns, too..

    One is an herb, and the other is a nutrient.
