A Japanese research team is hot on the trail of a baldness cure. In a breakthrough study, they found that an ingredient used to make McDonald’s French fries can help stimulate hair growth. Specifically, it activated a germ that triggers dormant hair follicles to start growing hair again.1 Now, I would never recommend that you run out and order fried …
A few months ago, a new patient drove down from Alabama to see me at my clinic in South Florida. He read about the work we were doing with Syndrome Zero, and he was desperate to be cured. I took him into my office to talk. My patient, Leonard A., was tired of being treated by his former doctor… He …
A panel of “experts” wants to convince millions of Americans that heartburn is all in your head.1 And instead of treating the real source, these researchers are recommending antidepressants… But that’s dangerous advice. I think drugging patients with antidepressants is misguided and unethical. Shame on this panel of “experts.” If you’ve ever suffered from heartburn, acid reflux or indigestion, then …
A breakthrough study out of England recently caught my eye… This latest research found that green tea holds the key to preventing deaths from heart attack and stroke caused by atherosclerosis. I’ve written to you before about how green tea can protect against a number of chronic diseases — including Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cancer and depression. After all, this popular beverage …
Not long ago, I overheard some of my staff in the conference room talking about the American Heart Association’s latest dire warning about the “dangers of coconut oil.” I got up from my desk and joined them. This kind of misinformation makes me furious… Especially coming from an organization that sells itself on looking out for the public’s heart health. …
It was one of the worst cases of nutritional deficiency ever recorded in modern history… More than 10 million Chinese children were born mentally retarded because they were missing one simple mineral in their diet. For decades, whole villages in China were populated with mentally stunted people. A shocking number of children were born with I.Q.s only in the low …
Even before I went to medical school, I worked with college athletes. And by far, the biggest complaint was joint pain. While everyone else was using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Motrin, Advil and Aleve, I was giving my athletes real hope with an ancient secret. And now, modern scientists are catching on. A new study in Italy gathered 52 …
In the United States, medicinal plants don’t get the respect they deserve… Are natural remedies going up in smoke thanks to Big Pharma’s greed? Over the past 100 years, Big Pharma has taken over health care with its mass production of synthetic drugs. Because that’s where the big money is. You see, Big Pharma can’t get patents on herbs or …
It was 40,000 B.C. and a teenage Neanderthal living in northwestern Spain was tormented by a horrible toothache… Maybe a piece of woolly rhinoceros or wild sheep got caught between his molars. Or maybe it was the pine nuts he had eaten. Whatever it was, it developed into a painful dental abscess. This bacterial infection can lead to severe illness …
There’s an old phrase my grandmother used to say to me… “You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die.” It basically meant that you shouldn’t worry about a little soil on your food or in your house. But fast-forward 50 years… Today people are obsessed with cleanliness. They’re on a mission to eradicate every microbe from their …
Bob Dylan. Eric Clapton. Neil Young. Musicians like Bob Dylan suffer from tinnitus as an occupational hazard from all the loud noises. These legendary musicians have more in common than their voices and the music they make… They all suffer from tinnitus. For them, this ringing in their ears was an occupational hazard. Too many years of exposure to loud …
Ten years ago, Richard Holt fell out of his hotel window in a freak accident. He crashed feet first into a concrete sidewalk — 24 feet below. Richard was lucky to be alive. But the accident left him with broken bones in both legs. His left heel was crushed. And in his right leg, his tibia and fibula detached from …
A new study from the University of Colorado Boulder found that holding hands with a loved one eases physical pain. Researchers tested brain wave activity in 22 couples who had been together for at least one year. First they measured brain waves while the couples were either sitting in separate rooms, or sitting together but not touching, or sitting together …
You’ve probably heard the expression that something important is “worth its weight in salt.” And that a person who’s decent and good is the “salt of the earth.” These expressions have their origin in the fact that up until about only a hundred years ago or so, salt was one of the most valuable and sought-after commodities in the world. …
I’ve admired Linus Pauling for years. In 1976, the Nobel Prize-winning chemist gave mega doses of vitamin C to 100 “untreatable” cancer patients. He then compared these so-called terminal patients to patients with the same kind of cancer who didn’t get vitamin C. The patients who received the traditional cancer treatment lived for an average of six months. Pauling’s patients …
When I was traveling in India, I had the privilege of studying Ayurvedic medicine with traditional Master Healers. Surrounded by lakes, oceans and mountains, Kerala, India, is the birthplace of Ayurveda medicine. My plane landed in Mumbai. From there, I made the 800-mile trip to Kerala down on the southwestern-most tip of the Indian peninsula. With origins dating back 6,000 …
All the gorillas were dying… Over 50 years of trying to breed gorillas in zoos and nothing was working. It didn’t matter where they tried — San Diego, Cincinnati, St. Louis — not even the best zoos in the country could get these gorillas to reproduce. They were facing extinction. And everyone simply accepted that it was impossible to breed …
When my patient started to weep, I understood… She said, “My doctor told me I have diabetes, and it’s incurable.” I’ve heard stories like hers hundreds of times since the beginning of my career. So I told her, you’re not broken. There is no gene for type 2 diabetes. The things we’ve been telling people about diabetes being genetic is …
