10 essentials to save your sight

You are probably familiar with the name Ed Kondrot, MD. He’s a personal friend, my trekking buddy, and an incredible holistic eye doctor. He has just published a book on protecting and healing your eyes, and fortunately, he can sure write better than he can hike. Dr. Kondrot, you might remember, petered out on me on our second day of the rigorous John Muir Trail last August. And, a few days later, he accidently sprayed himself and his wife with bear pepper spray. We’ll do an easier trip next time (smile). Now, he’s on to more important things, like teaching you 10 simple ways to treat and prevent eye diseases.

In Ten Essentials to Save Your Sight, Dr. Kondrot details the key steps to preserving and protecting your precious eye tissues.

FDA Warning: These osteoporosis drugs don’t work

If you take drugs for your osteoporosis, the FDA has a strong warning for you: They don’t work.

How can that be? After all, didn’t the same FDA approve the drugs in the first place because the studies said they do work?

It’s true that the FDA bases its decisions on studies. But these studies simply measure the impact of a synthetic petrochemical on symptoms. The studies conducted by drug companies and accepted by the FDA do not look at the real effects of suppressing the symptoms. And they don’t look at problems the drug causes when you take the chemical over time.

A study at Purdue University makes a solid point that it’s what people drink that makes most of them fat.
