Seven ways you may be raising your cancer risk
There are few words that inspire more fear and dread than: CANCER. I think it’s safe to say that most people wouldn’t cherish the thought of having to face cancer…and would want to do everything they could to avoid having their number come up in the cancer lottery. Problem is that many people are rolling out the red carpet for our number two killer and don’t even know it! Here are seven ways that...

Why is life expectancy dropping in the US?
According to the CDC, the US currently spends about $3.8 trillion every year on healthcare. That’s up a shocking 30 percent from the $2.6 trillion we spent back in 2009 (adjusted for inflation). So why is it that our rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune conditions and bone/joint disorders are either staying the same or going UP? With all that money being thrown at healthcare, shouldn’t we be seeing disease rates decreasing? And...

The scam called “BCAM”
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and everywhere you go, you see pink paper ribbons plastered on the walls signed by someone who likely donated for breast cancer research.

So what have all these billions of dollars bought...
Bet your doctor never mentioned this to you!
I’m a bit fired up today, so be prepared. Modern medicine has done a complete bloody disservice to untold numbers of people over the last 100 years or so. Why would that be?

Do you have this stomach cancer risk factor?
There is a certain bacterial infection that has been around for an incredible 200,000 years and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down yet. It’s VERY contagious and affects a staggering 66 percent of the world’s population (2 out of 3 of us). In the vast majority of cases (90 percent), there are no symptoms at all, so most people who have contracted it don’t even know it. But that doesn’t mean it’s...
How to prevent the second most deadly cancer
March is “National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.” Since colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in terms of deadliness, it’s good to be aware of it and more importantly, know how to prevent it. Colorectal cancer is rather personal to me since my Mom had it back in 1978 and ended up with a permanent colostomy as a result. When she was first diagnosed, it seemed so shocking to 15 year-old me, but...
