		<description><![CDATA[Is the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which bills itself as the “advisor to the nation on health,” trying to make you sick?

I wouldn’t blame you if you thought so… The U.S. and Canadian governments asked the IOM to look at its inadequate recommendation for vitamin D at 400 IU per day. So the IOM has just come out with its new recommendations. It says that “all North Americans are receiving enough vitamin D” from their diets and exposure to the sun. It also says there is “inconsistent and conflicting results” on whether or not vitamin D protects you from cancer and other diseases.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chances are if you have high blood pressure, your doctor will write you a prescription for it.

This is true for most of the doctor’s offices in my area, and around the U.S.

But not at my office.

Millions of Americans take prescription medication, like nitroglycerin, to relieve heart-related conditions. Including high-blood pressure...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the heart patients I see for the first time already know high blood pressure can mean disaster for their heart health.

But here’s what they don’t know.

Having high blood pressure can also wreak havoc on your brain, kidneys, and eyes.

Here’s the scary part…

High blood pressure can quietly damage these vital organs for years before you see any symptoms. If left unchecked, this silent killer can leave you with a disability. Or worse, it can lead to a heart attack or stroke...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know that I don’t often tell you to take supplements when you can find it in food. But there is one supplement I recommend to all of my patients and take myself every day.

It is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

CoQ10 puts cancer into remission and is such a powerful heart cure, it reverses heart disease. It acts like a generator for every organ in your body. It increases energy so they function at their best.

CoQ10 is key to the protection of your body’s cells. It’s just like the key you use to lock your front door, keeping you safe and secure. Without enough CoQ10, your cells become weak and open to attack.

Now, CoQ10 is proven to fight what I believe is the root cause of all disease: inflammation...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Congestive heart failure is a deadly form of heart disease.

It means your heart can’t pump enough blood for your body’s needs. This leads to fluid congestion that can cause your vital organs like your lungs, brain and kidneys to shut down. ]]></description>

My grandmother cooked with lard her whole life. Most people did… until the government told everybody that animal fat caused heart disease. Then manufacturers introduced substitutes such as shortening and margarine. ]]></description>

It’s at the center of a huge controversy. Scientists say it’s dangerous. Big business – and the FDA – says, “don’t worry… there’s no risk… don’t ask questions…” [...]]]></description>

It’s the thinking that if you are capable of a hard workout routine you can be “fat but fit”. So, there’s no need to worry about heart health. Take one of my new patients, who I’ll call Alice. She’s middle-aged. And [...]]]></description>

I start to think it’s a ‘dead horse’ then, I see this same scenario play out again – patients come to me terrified of their own cholesterol, in a panic because another doctor told them to take a drug to lower their cholesterol or “die of a heart attack”. ]]></description>
