Wipe out the common cold — even swine flu —
for less than $5

Last week, I told you about the new “superdrug” DRACO, which can reportedly cure the common cold. The drug is still in testing, so we don’t know for sure if it will work. However, there is one treatment that can wipe out your cold. And it can do it for $3-$5.

The surgery breast cancer victims must avoid

Women with breast cancer always fear having the cancer spread to their lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs in your armpit (and elsewhere in your body). They act as filters, removing cancer from lymph fluid before it goes into your bloodstream. If you have cancer in the lymph nodes under your arm, you have an increased risk of the cancer spreading.

As a result, most cancer surgeons conduct radical lymph node dissection – removing the lymph nodes. This lets the surgeon come back and tell the victim “we got it all.” The problem is that the surgery leaves her with painful, disfiguring, and dysfunctional lymphedema. It also increases your risk for infection. But that’s not all. A new study found that this draconian procedure makes no difference in survival or reoccurrence.

Make stomach ulcer drugs work better with fewer side effects

H. pylori is the germ that causes stomach ulcers. It’s also associated with a myriad of stomach problems from gastritis to reflux. Getting rid of it totally can be difficult. And sometimes drugs are required. But drugs can often cause serious side effects. But there’s an easy way to help these drugs work better — and reduce their side effects.

The standard allopathic treatment is “triple therapy.” Triple therapy refers to the use of three drugs: a proton pump inhibitor, such as omeprazole, and two different antibiotics, usually amoxicillin and clarithromycin. Of course, the petrochemical approach is expected to have “side effects.” The most obvious is other digestive problems due to the antibiotics wiping out your good gut flora (bacteria).
