I Almost Fell Over Backwards…

“This is a cananga flower…” Westi picked one off of the small tree behind his shop.

“That looks like ilang-ilang (ylang-ylang).”

“Yes. It is from the same tree family. Smell… it’s very fragrant.”

I took some of the yellowish green petals from Westi. “That’s beautiful.”

“The ilang-ilang tree is very tall. Cananga is small, so I can have one here by the shop. Lelir will use the flower to make Jamu.”

Jamu is the name for the ancient group of natural cures and medicines they use in Bali.

The Balinese don’t like pharmaceuticals, and don’t really trust Western-type medicine. So they…

Put Three Critical Nutrients Back On The Menu

Hope you had a happy Fourth of July! Did you have a barbeque and throw a couple of steaks on the grill?

Don’t feel guilty if you did. Meat is one of the best sources of your most important nutrients.

Does your doctor try and make you feel bad about eating a big, juicy steak?

The diet advice that modern medicine prescribes is to replace meat with unnatural grains, corn and soy. But your body doesn’t recognize them as food because they don’t have the nutrients you need. And then doctors still try to tell you that you don’t need a nutritional supplement.

How To Build Strong Bones That Last a Lifetime

I have some news for you that goes against almost everything you hear on CBS News, or read on WebMD… osteoporosis isn’t caused by a lack of calcium.

Mainstream medicine still has its head in the sand on this. I just read a new study from the Journal of the American Dietetic Association claiming – again – that you aren’t getting enough calcium, and that calcium is what prevents osteoporosis.

Don’t get me wrong, calcium is critical for making bone. But you’re getting enough calcium. It’s in almost everything you can think of – like bread, milk, orange juice, pasta, yogurt, toothpaste, chewing gum, snack crackers and granola bars… it’s even in your water, depending on where you live. That’s a lot of calcium.

In fact, two studies back up what I’ve known for years. Higher calcium intake doesn’t prevent fractures due to bone loss,1 and can damage your heart.

How I Know My Vitamins Are Natural

Did you know that every vitamin you take can be measured in your blood?

This led to a surprise for me early on in my career. When I started testing vitamin levels in the bloodstream of my most health-conscious patients, even the ones who swore they took a multivitamin every day, they were malnourished!

I had to do some researching to understand why.

Here’s what I learned:

They’re Not Giving It To You…

I was doing research on the heart recently when I came across a report published by a cardiovascular clinic. They found that Americans are now so deficient in vitamin D we’re suffering in a way I’m not even allowed to tell you about here.1

Meanwhile, the modern health industry insists you stay out of the sun even though sunlight is nature’s way of creating vitamin D in your body. They claim modern farming is growing nutritious crops even though crops from big farms have far fewer nutrients than we used to get in our produce…

The Must-Have Mineral

In your quest for better health, you’ve probably read a lot about vitamins and nutritional supplements. But how about minerals?

Many minerals, like iron and zinc, are essential to life. Without them, your body could not function. And because your body can’t make them, you need a reliable source from your diet.

On commercial farms, the soil no longer has the minerals it used to. That means you may be suffering from a mineral deficiency…

Put THAT in Your Pipe and Smoke It!

I still see doctors writing and saying there is no evidence that vitamins really do anything for anyone.

Oh, really? What about this?

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada just published the results of a new study of a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. They showed that they could delay major aspects of aging. And, it extended lifespan by 10 percent!

Will Vitamins Become Prescription Only?

Your right to make choices about your own body is being challenged.

I seldom, if ever, discuss politics with you. But this in one occasion when something needs to be said.

There’s a new bill in Congress.

If it passes, the FDA will have the right to permanently take away any vitamin or natural supplement it chooses. And once it’s gone, your access disappears… forever…

These Deadly Toxins are in Your Blood Right Now…

A horrific study hit my desk. Many of my patients have a hard time believing it. But you need to do something.

It found 287 chemicals and other toxins in the blood of newborn babies.1 One of the pesticides that turned up the most was a by-product of DDT – a pesticide banned in 1972.

Should the FDA Regulate Your Vitamins?

Congress is pushing for the FDA to regulate your use of vitamins and supplements.

Considering the downright scary job the Food & Drug Administration has done with regulating drugs, do you want them telling you how to make healthy choices?

Vitamin Blood Levels Taught Me This…

Dear Reader, Did you know that every vitamin you take can be measured in your blood? When a patient comes to my Wellness Center for the first time, I always run some routine blood work. Your doctor probably does, too. One of the first things I test for are blood levels for all vitamins, minerals, [...]

Are Vitamins Worth It?

Dear Reader, Do you really need to bother with vitamin supplements? Big Pharma has an interest in you believing that your only effective solution is to take expensive and toxic chemically-produced patent drugs. But I’ve achieved great results using vitamins as therapy with thousands of patients in my medical practice. Fact is, the body responds [...]
