Get relief from your gut aches
If you’re among the 7 out of 10 people in the US who at least occasionally (or every day!) suffers from digestive problems, chances are excellent you’ve had Tums, Pepto Bismol or Rolaids as close companions. Maybe you’ve even graduated to Nexium, Zantac or Prilosec—if you’ve followed the digestive advice of Larry the Cable Guy. But these medications only cover up the problem—they do NOTHING to help your digestive system work the way it’s...

Avoid the leading cause of lifelong disability
Sadly, someone very special to me recently suffered a stroke and is now undergoing surgery…so I was inspired to raise awareness here. Also known as cerebral vascular accident (CVA), a stroke is very scary because it’s not like your brain taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey—I’m getting less blood up here and that ain’t good.” Here is the scoop on this condition that is the number 5 cause of death in the...

Everything you think about cholesterol is wrong!
Say the word “cholesterol” and most people get downright frightened, wondering if theirs is OK or if their number will come up in the heart disease lottery. That’s because we’ve been very carefully conditioned by the pharmaceutical industry to believe that cholesterol is the cause of heart disease, and your only hope of salvation is through statins. But what if I were to tell you that most of what you have been told about...

Win the war on inflammation
I’m going to start your New Year out with some not-so-pleasant news, but it needs to be said. Currently, half of all adult Americans, and 54 percent of our children, have at least one chronic disease (according to the CDC). In addition, chronic disease is responsible for at least seven out of 10 deaths. If that doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. The time has come for us to stop ignoring elephants...
