How to keep your brain sharp for life!
It’s common for adults to joke around about forgetfulness or “CRS disease” as we age, but in reality, mental decline (dementia) is no laughing matter. In fact, here are some recent statistics from the Alzheimer’s Association from 2023: An estimated 6.7 million Americans over age 65 are living with Alzheimer’s dementia. About 1 in 9 people (10.8 percent) over age 65 have Alzheimer’s dementia. Deaths due to Alzheimer’s disease between 2000 and 2019 have...
This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?
A study was conducted by Harvard researchers that established 12 risk factors that were considered to be preventable causes of death. As you would expect, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked up at the top. But coming in at a noteworthy number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency! That may surprise you, but when you look at the many ways Omega-3 fatty acids support your health, it becomes clear that being without...

But that’s not always the case. Because every once in a while, something comes along that really is THAT GOOD and hard as it may be to conceive, it’s the truth! A perfect example of this is the spice...
A blatantly ignored cause of disease and death
Despite what you may read on most pharmaceutical company-sponsored “health” websites and even what your doctor may tell you, disease doesn’t just pop out of nowhere and bite poor unsuspecting you in the derriere. Disease is not normal, it is not a reflection of your body needing some drug, it’s not something you should expect as you age, and it is not some mysterious phenomenon that nobody can explain and for which you have...
A new cause of Alzheimer’s discovered
One of the most heartbreaking and frightening conditions that people may face is Alzheimer’s disease. Although most people associate Alzheimer’s with old age, that’s not entirely accurate. It can begin in the brain 30 years before symptoms appear, and the characteristic amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients have been detected in young adult brains. As we age, our brain weight drops—up to 10 percent by age 80. In addition, blood flow...

The many ways heartburn drugs can kill you
Here we go again. The pharmaceutical industry has made yet ANOTHER “slip-up” that has potentially threatened the lives of millions of people using one of its toxic medications. This time it’s ranitidine (aka Zantac). The FDA recently recalled ranitidine because it contains N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which is a human carcinogen, and the attorneys are lining up to file a tsunami of lawsuits on behalf of cancer sufferers. What makes this particularly frightening is that Zantac...
