How to overcome the damage belly fat does to your arteries

You probably know that I have beaten the drum about metabolic syndrome and belly fat. I've told you how visceral fat (within your abdominal cavity) is associated with significant disease. Well, new research shows just how damaging this fat is to your arteries.

Statins fail to stop plaque buildup, but this simple nutrient does


Even after years of writing about the cholesterol fraud going on in this country, I still get letters from readers who are taking statins and other drugs to lower cholesterol. Well, we have a new study showing that lowering cholesterol with petrochemicals does, indeed, lower your cholesterol, and even that "bad" guy LDL cholesterol. But even with these numbers lower, they fail to stop the main problem with cholesterol - plaque buildup. Worse (for Pharma), a dirt cheap vitamin does reverse the blockage!

Why cancer patients should never rely on chemotherapy alone

You probably know that conventional chemotherapy is very limited in what it can do. Most people now understand this.

Is that because chemotherapy is so bad? I don't think so. I think there's another reason.
