Gender Benders in Your Spaghetti Sauce?
Has the FDA ever put the needs of the public ahead of industry?
Last week, the Food & Drug Administration reversed its position on the health effects of the industrial chemical and “food additive” bisphenol-A (BPA). For years, the agency maintained that this gender-bending, cancer-causing chemical was safe.
Their primary evidence? Two studies funded by the chemical industry.
Until last week, the agency refused to reconsider their position. And that is despite the fact that their own panel of experts stated it was scientifically flawed. It also ignored more than 100 published studies by government scientists and university labs showing that the industrial chemical poses significant risks.
The FDA now admits concern about those risks, especially regarding the safety and development of fetuses, infants and young children.
Who is Responsible for Your Health?
This week’s issue of THB Undercover has stirred up quite a few comments on the website – a fair amount of praise and some criticism. If you did not get a chance to read Your Body Already Knows the Cure for Cancer, I hope you will.
THB reader, Terrence calls it “one of [...]
Japanese CoQ10 Inventor Contacts Dr. Sears
Three years ago, no one believed me… they said it was impossible.
Now the buzz is about to spread over the entire country.
I was the first to bring my patients the high-powered version of CoQ10, which I call Accel. Now, the rest of the country will find out how to turn on and keep the power of youth.
The media blitz started October 5th and will include TV commercials on 12 cable channels around the country: ABC Family, BBC America, Biography, Discovery Health, E!, GAC, Lifetime, Lifetime Movie, Oxygen, Soapnet, Style and WE.
The nationwide ad campaign expands two weeks later to include time during Oprah and Good Morning America. This is exciting news.
I’m thrilled Accel is finally getting the recognition it deserves. And I’m honored to have been one of the first doctors in the country to offer such a powerful and remarkable breakthrough.
The Real Cause of Kidney Stones
In an episode of the TV comedy Seinfield, Kramer develops a kidney stone.
“What is that, anyway?” asks Jerry.
“It’s a stony mineral concretion,” replies Kramer quite accurately, “formed abnormally in the kidney. And this jagged shard of calcium pushes its way through the ureter into the bladder. It’s forced out through the urine!”
“Oh,” says Jerry, “that’s gotta hurt.”
If you can imagine having to urinate a quarter inch or larger rock-solid and jagged crystal, you can understand what kind of pain this would cause. It’s definitely something to be avoided. Yet many people, trying to prevent osteoporosis, are inviting this very condition — while doing little to help their bone mass.
Stopping Joint Pain Before It Starts
Osteoarthritis (OA) can affect any joint in your body but it usually occurs in your hands, hips, knees, and spine. The cause is thought to be a combination of factors including obesity, age, joint injury, heredity, and muscle weakness.
Many experts also agree that a breakdown of your immune system may be to blame. This can happen when viruses attack your joints and for some reason your immune system cannot fight back.
Can This Supplement Cure Cancer?
CoQ10 is the one supplement I take every day, without fail.
New evidence of an even greater benefit is pouring in. And over the next couple of weeks, I’ll tell you about some of the amazing discoveries happening in CoQ10 research.
CoQ10 is a powerful cancer fighter.
Researchers in Tokyo gave rats a carcinogen that promotes colon cancer. The rats were divided into three groups. One group was fed a regular diet. The second group got a low dose of CoQ10. The third got a medium dose.
The results were amazing.
Both of the groups that received CoQ10 had reductions in abnormal crypts (an early sign of colon cancer) of up to 77%. Ultimately, the results of this study suggested that CoQ10 held cancer in check even when exposed to this carcinogen.1
Another study done at the University of Texas at Austin documented 10 cases of cancer patients who unexpectedly survived when treated with CoQ10.2
Blood Pressure Meds for All?
I just finished reading the British Medical Journal … there was an article by a group of 
researchers telling doctors they should put everyone over 40 on blood pressure drugs — even if they don’t have high blood pressure!1
According to the study’s authors, “Guidelines on the use of blood pressure lowering drugs can be simplified so that drugs are offered to people with all levels of blood pressure. Our results indicate the importance of lowering blood pressure in everyone over a certain age, rather than measuring it in everyone and treating it in some.”
Can you imagine? Taking drugs every day when you’re in perfect health? This is a sign of things to come. Drug companies aren’t satisfied with controlling medical schools, the media and the FDA… now they want all of us to take a drug every day whether you need it or not.
Are they kidding?
Restless Legs Syndrome: Forget the Media Hype
Do you have restless legs syndrome? Maybe you just think you do thanks to the advertising savvy of 
pharmaceutical companies who make millions exaggerating this rare condition. They’ve been so successful, that it’s become an epidemic in a population of restless yet inactive people who may really just be suffering from a common mineral deficiency.
I’ll discuss that deficiency with you in just a moment. But first, I’d like to explain why you should avoid if at all possible the popular prescription drugs that are being marketed to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS).
The main RLS drugs fall under the category of tranquilizers, sleeping aids and pain relievers — substances that are highly addictive and are only masking the true problem.
The worst of the batch is Requip (ropinirole) which plays with your brain chemistry in the way drugs for Parkinson’s disease and ADHD do — by increasing or decreasing your production of dopamine (which regulates most of your bodily functions).
In fact, Requip is so powerful, it is often prescribed to lessen the effects of Parkinson’s disease. “Hallucination” is listed under significant adverse effects of the drug.1
Why Drug Pushing Doctors Are Wrong About Your Brain
Attention: Your memory may be fading and the drug pushing conservative medical establishment 
wants you to wait for them to develop the next “magic bullet drug.”
This in the face of the fact that Alzheimer’s is a terribly complex disease and in my opinion no one drug will ever be able to prevent or reverse this mind-robbing illness.
I was recently on a conference call with a very important organization and their Capital liaison shared with us that in this time of health care reform, representatives of the major drug companies are going around speaking to senators and congress people telling them that:
“The cure for Alzheimer’s is right around the corner.”1
Another leading organization is not only promulgatin
Why You Need a Personal Health Plan
What is your health plan?
That’s an interesting question someone once asked me.
Let’s put it another way: What is your plan for developing your health? Can you name it? Can you put it in a list? Can you say, “My plan for eating is a, b, c and d? My plan for fitness is one, two, three and four. My plan for flexibility is one, two, three and four. My plan for strength or cardiovascular training is x, y and z.”
How many of us have actually taken the time to sit down and develop a plan for health? How many of us just go day-to-day, constantly changing plans (or not making plans) and wondering and hoping if we’ll stay healthy.
My experience has been that most of the patients I help and most of the people who come to me for personal coaching, don’t really have a health plan in place. They drift from plan to plan trying to find something that meets their lifestyle needs.
