    Four Things Women Need

    Most of the “advice” I see on Dr. Oz and Oprah, in Women’s Health and in the New York Times Magazine on Sunday seem to center on the same things.

    These reports I’ve been seeing lately give women advice like suggesting you eat fake, processed “health” foods like flaxseed. But they’re unnatural to your body. People used to wear flax, not eat it.

    And animal studies have found that overdose of flaxseed may cause shortness of breath, rapid breathing, weakness or difficulty walking, and may cause seizures or paralysis.1

    Too many articles I’ve read also recommend you load up on more calcium that you could ever want or use. Meanwhile, studies show too much calcium puts you at a 31 percent greater risk for heart attack.2

    And did you see the report on women’s heart health from the director of the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory at Tufts University? It’s one of the most prestigious research universities in the country. And here she is, concluding that women should eat whole grains instead of vegetables.

    Today I’m going to show you some real ways to stay healthy. Forget junk foods like soy, flax and whole grains. Here are four things you can use to avoid disease and help you stay happy and strong for life…

    Put Your Best Face Forward

    It may be the most important discovery in human history. In fact, it recently won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

    I’ve discovered a way to apply this amazing breakthrough to make you look younger and restore the radiance of your youth.

    This recently discovered revitalizing gem lies dormant in your skin’s DNA. It’s the key to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and crow’s feet, banishing the appearance of sun and age spots, and keeping smooth, tight skin.

    Why Do These Amazonian Woman Have Such Beautiful Skin?

    On my last trip to Peru, I spent days trekking with native healers through the rainforest. And they shared many of their secrets with me. But one of the biggest breakthroughs I discovered on that trip wasn’t in the rainforest at all.

    In cities and towns across Southern Peru, I noticed women – even older women – with smooth, beautiful skin. Living that close to the equator, the intense sun should leave their skin, dry, rough and wrinkled. What was their secret? I wondered.

    So I did some digging, and uncovered a secret. And I’ve brought it back to the United States to share with my patients and friends. Soon you may have people wondering how you keep your skin looking so smooth and beautiful.

    A Woman’s Best Friend

    Today I want to let you in on a cure for hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause that my friend and herbalist Iveyln Harris showed me.

    Have you heard about Ivey yet? She has a reputation throughout Jamaica as a great natural healer.

    Ivey built her practice on her experience and knowledge of the rich culture and heritage of her ancestors, the Koromantyn of West Africa. They came to Jamaica five hundred years ago and became known as the Maroons when they were driven deep into the John Crow Mountains.

    Will We Still Have Babies?

    I was just reading the journal Human Reproduction. A Danish study found that if a woman who’s pregnant with a son takes just one 500 mg acetaminophen pill during her second trimester he’s twice as likely to have fertility problems.

    It gets worse. If she takes more than one type of painkiller, the risk goes up 1,600 percent.1

    The reason is that painkillers, considered “mild” and “safe” by most doctors, suppress testosterone. And not just a little. They drive it down more than the 10 most “gender-bending” chemicals called estrogen mimics that women are exposed to normally – like BPA and plastic-hardening phthalates – combined.

    Why Do Women Live Longer than Men?

    Women have a longevity secret. It’s in their genes.

    Not only will I tell you what it is, I’ll show you how you can use this simple secret to increase your “health span.” That’s what I call the length of time you can live while still feeling healthy and happy.

    Natural Elixir for Women Only

    Without your realizing it, modern medicine has withheld the options you need to make healthy, informed decisions. In essence, your sexual energy has fallen victim to ignorance and misinformation.

    Most doctors think testosterone is a privilege for men only. While men certainly need it, the idea that it has no place in a woman’s life is not only wrong, it’s dangerous.

    When your levels drop, you’ll feel it: loss of motivation, heavy fatigue, and little to no interest in the things that usually make you happy, including sex.

    But I’ve discovered compelling studies that support what I’ve known for years:

    Too Young for Puberty

    In today’s Doctor’s House Call, I’m going to tell you how to combat one of the most dangerous threats to your health today.

    Estrogen.

    Estrogen is found in the hormone-laden meat you get at the grocery store. It’s found in plastic, too. Every time you take a sip from your water bottle or heat up a frozen dinner, you’re ingesting harmful chemicals that create synthetic estrogen in your body.

    This can cause you to have too much estrogen. Why is that a problem?

    The One Nutrient I Take Everyday…Accel – CoQ10

    When I was in med school 25 years ago, a small group of researchers were quietly laying the groundwork for a breakthrough that, at the time, sounded like science fiction.

    Today it’s reality. People like you are keeping the power of youth into old age. I’ve seen it first hand.

    Being one of the first board certified doctors in anti-aging medicine, I’ve had a front row seat for this remarkable discovery. The breakthrough I’m talking about is a brand new form of CoQ10 called Accel. It’s helping my patients make unbelievable gains…

    “Dr. Sears Saved My Marriage”

    I’d like to share a letter I received from one of my patients:
    Dear Dr. Sears,

    I just had my 21st wedding anniversary. After years of boredom and tired routines, I’m thrilled to report that this one was actually worth celebrating…

    As a Doctor, I Should Know Better

    As a Doctor, I Should Know Better

    I never used to think about “beauty products.” Most guys don’t. But recently I was asked to consult for “natural” beauty products, so…

    I started reading the labels.

    I couldn’t believe what women were putting on their faces.

    Turns out they’re slathering their faces with chemicals and things distilled from petroleum and crude oil.

    Have you heard any of these warnings?

    Putting Myself in a Woman’s Shoes

    Putting Myself in a Woman’s Shoes

    I just read a new study that proves how dangerous those drugs that are labeled “HRT” are.

    I call them drugs because they’re not real hormones. Hormones have to be made in your body, and these are synthetically created.

    I can’t help but get mad at this. I’m so tired of women being in this unnecessary danger.

    As you read this, millions of women are still getting estrogen. If you’ve ever been to your doctor for help with menopause, you know what I’m talking about…

    Hot Flashes, Hormones, and Red Wine

    I just saw a new study that shows why women especially love how resveratrol makes them feel. It may combat the symptoms of menopause as effectively as hormone replacement drugs. And it does it without the cancer and other risks.

    This is a remarkable discovery. It gives you one more weapon to combat the hot flashes, night sweats, and worse that come with “the change.”

    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!

    More Energy, Strength, and Sex with This…But What about Women?

    All I did was walk into my treatment room and say, “Good morning Alice. How are you?”

    She immediately burst into tears. “I’m miserable,” she blurted out between sobs…

    She had gained 20 pounds and lost all sex drive. She feared her husband was going to leave her. She had already seen doctor after doctor but was growing more frustrated.
