When I get hungry between meals, I grab some almonds.
I’m not worried about the fat or the calories.
Why? Because, contrary to what the calorie counters say, fat is a good thing to snack on. Let me explain…
Why I Don't Use Antiperspirants
Your body is exposed to aluminum every day.
Why is this something I want you to be aware of?
Long-term exposure to aluminum can increase your risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 60%.
Absorbing any amount of aluminum is harmful. But the way it gets in your body makes a difference…
Are Your Vegetables Watered Down?
In a perfect world, you’d be able to get all the nutrients you need from the food you eat.
But, we don’t live in a perfect world. There’s the problem.
Vegetables which used to give us vital nutrition are losing their power, and we’re all feeling the effects.
How to Avoid the Salmonella Scare
Want to know what I had for breakfast this morning?
A delicious fruit smoothie with eggs. Raw eggs.

Why?
Because eggs aren’t the problem…

Simple Nutrient Gives You Bones of Steel
Mainstream medicine has missed the boat on this one.
You’re constantly warned about the danger of high-protein diets.
And this is the worst part. They tell you that the reason you have to avoid a high-protein diet is that it weakens your bones.
The truth is the exact opposite. High protein strengthens your bones…
Sunshine Vitamin Gets Even Better
There’s one nutrient that has more health benefits than any other I can think of. I’ve written to you about this nutrient before. But today, I have a startling new benefit you should know. It has to do with Parkinson’s disease…

Including you…
The One Nutrient I Take Every Day
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…
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…
Take Back Control of Your Pet's Health
Pets are not living longer, healthier lives. Surprised? It’s true. Our pets are simply taking longer to die from chronic disease and poor health. And for many animals that process starts very early in life.
The reasons are simple. Part of the reason is that we believe the blatant lie that processed pet food equals good nutrition, and we load our pets up with toxins. The result is the chronic diseases we see today in increasingly younger animals…
Quercetin Found to Boost "Human Horsepower"
Quercetin is a plant pigment or flavanoid found in onions, apples, berries, grapes, and red wine.
It’s a powerful antioxidant/anti-inflammatory that boosts your immune system and increases the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) in your muscles and brain.
It’s only recently that researchers discovered its power to boost human performance.
A recent study by the University of South Carolina published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism found that quercetin taken as a daily supplement improves your endurance even if you don’t exercise!
Eggs For Your Health
Contrary to what we read all the time, cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease. Instead, cholesterol is the thing that heart disease acts upon. So the trick here is to keep your cholesterol healthy – not try to eliminate it as if it were the enemy. It’s an important and natural part of your body. This difference is important – case in point…
Have you heard that a compound in eggs called phosphatidylcholine helps to keep cholesterol soluble in your blood and keeps you from absorbing too much?1 So, eggs are playing that role of keeping your cholesterol healthy…
Drop Weight by Eating This at Breakfast
You can drop weight and reduce fat without ever counting a calorie or stepping on a treadmill.
It all depends on what you eat first thing in the morning. You can program your metabolism for the rest of the day.1
When you eat a high-fat breakfast, it turns on your fat-burning metabolism. You’ll drop fat off your body and use up the calories you eat for the rest of the day.
You're Better Off Eating a Cardboard Box
The other day G.S. came to my office for a visit.
I won’t get into his personal medical issue, but the subject of fiber came up.
He said, “Dr. Sears, I’m getting all the fiber I need. Every morning I have my whole wheat toast or a big bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats.”
I’m telling you this because it’s kind of typical. My patients believe they’re getting the right kind of fiber from whole grains.
The truth is all fiber is not created equal. You could call a cardboard box “fiber,” because it’s cellulose and your body wouldn’t digest it.
But it’s not the type of fiber nature intended for you to have in your body…
Native Herb Holds Magical Healing Properties
My guide hacked a narrow path for me through the underbrush. It was the second day of our journey, deep into the jungles of the Amazon.
I was on my way to speak to a curandero, a native healer, about a plant the locals believe has magical healing properties. They use this herb in many rituals.
When we finally arrived at the small village, the curandero prepared a bath infused with the herb. It smelled a little like garlic, and he said it would protect me from witchcraft…
Heal Your Wounds the Sweet Way
Everybody loves sugar. And here’s another reason to keep it in your cupboard.
Sugar can heal your cuts, scrapes, burns, and even large wounds without leaving a scar. It kills germs and repairs tissue better than any antiseptic or disinfectant on the market.1
Sugar may just be the first antiseptic in history. People have written about its miraculous properties for over 4,000 years, since early Egyptian times. But it fell out of favor once antibiotics became available…
What's Wrong With Your CoQ10?
There may be a big problem with your CoQ10.
When you take your CoQ10, you should feel more energy, greater endurance, and quicker, clearer thinking. These benefits are well established.1,2,3
Yet, patients tell me they don’t feel any different with CoQ10. And when they show me their bottle, I immediately know why.
Most of the CoQ10 they’re taking never makes it to their cells, where it can do the most good.
In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion’s share of valuable CoQ10 disappears – making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.
Today, I have a way for you to solve this problem.
