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.

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:

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?”

Your Grandparents Had the Right Idea

I am writing to you this morning from my study at home. I like to write here in the early morning because I can see the sunrise through my study window.

On my desk there’s a container with some leftover salmon and spinach salad from last night. I pulled it from the fridge for breakfast.

High protein breakfasts are your best bet to get yourself going in the morning. But nowadays, they’re rare…

Three Nutrients Help Your Hearing

Patients who come to me with unwanted noise filling their head non-stop are among the most frustrated. You can’t sleep. You can’t read. It’s tough to concentrate on anything.

When I went to medical school, like all beginning doctors, I had to learn a new language. We doctors have different words for everything. So we don’t call it “ringing in your ears.” We call it tinnitus.

The 12 Most Effective Vision Boosters

American WWII fighter pilots had sharp, crystal-clear vision.

Before taking to the air they ate handfuls of a certain type of berry to improve their long-distance and night vision.

Today you can use the same winning strategy to sharpen your vision.

In the 1940’s it was known as a “folk remedy.” But today we know there’s real science behind it. Powerful micronutrients called carotenoids nourish and protect the parts of your eye that create your experience of color, sharpness and contrast…

Like Strawberries with Your Pesticides?

Do you wonder if buying organic is worth the extra money?

Well… it depends on what you’re buying.

The definition of “organic” has been degraded to the point where sometimes it doesn’t mean anything. Some “organic beef” can be just as bad as the estrogen-drenched, grain-fed junk you see going for 99 cents a pound.

With produce it can be just as tricky. Some are downright poisonous. Others aren’t as bad. I have a rule of thumb I give my patients…

This Eye Strain Reliever Really Works

“Dr. Sears, I feel like an old lady,” said Sandy D.

“I turned 40 just a few years ago and I can’t read the paper without holding it at arm’s length and even then it’s a little fuzzy. I’ve been taking these supplements, but they don’t seem to do anything.”

It didn’t take long to look at the bottle. “This won’t help you.”

You can sharpen your vision and protect your eyes from aging, but you need the right formula.

Flush Toxic Metals Out of Your Body With the “Claw”

Our environment has changed. The last 100 years has wiped out millions of years of pure, clean food and water.

And our bodies haven’t adapted quickly enough. We weren’t designed to live in our current world of man-made chemicals, toxins and pollutants.

Monsanto Lawyer to Control Our Food Supply

Talk about putting the fox in charge of the hen house…

President Obama recently selected Michael Taylor, former chief lobbyist for Monsanto, as the new “food safety czar” at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Not All Beef is for Dinner

Have you heard the news? Recently, nearly 900,000 pounds of commercial beef was recalled. And not long before that, a major supermarket chain recalled 466,236 pounds of ground beef.

Why the recalls?
