4 Reasons you can’t lose weight
I once read an article about weight loss written by an MD. In it she mentioned that about 72 percent of Americans want to lose weight, and the average goal was 40 pounds. The challenge, she stated, is that only 14 percent of people who have lost weight have been able to keep it off for more than five years. But then the rest of the article suggests cutting calories to lose weight. Sorry,...
Ditch the pink ribbons & prevent breast cancer
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and everywhere you go, you see pink ribbons symbolizing monies donated for breast cancer research. Let’s look at this “research,” shall we? BILLIONS of research dollars have been raised over the last several decades to “find the cure,” yet cancer is still our number 2 killer. So, what have all these billions of dollars bought us? Lots of pretty pink ribbons? And the maddening thing here is...
Are your meds making you sicker?

I’ve heard people say things like they are in “good health” because their blood pressure is controlled with beta blockers, their cholesterol is under 200 with statins, proton pump inhibitors keep their acid reflux quiet, and sedatives help them sleep.

How much vitamin D do you really need?
We recently received a question about the vitamin D3 dose in our Optimum DK Formula. The reader was wondering if the 5,000 IUs of vitamin D was “too much,” especially considering that her doctors have told her not to take more than 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day and that research from Harvard indicated the upper-level max was 4,000 IUs. That’s a great question, and I’m sure others may be wondering about...
