Double your risk of Alzheimer’s and heart attack
with this “natural” amino acid

Many doctors have been slow to watch your homocysteine levels. And, a few years ago, there were conflicting reports on its value. I’ve always liked the test, and a new study supports its use. In fact, this study shows how you can significantly reduce your risk for heart attacks.

In this study, researchers followed 2,009 participants for nearly 12 years. That’s enough time to see if there’s a problem. (Too bad Pharma is not required to study its chemical poisons this long.) Subjects with homocysteine levels over 9.47 micromol/L had a 2.3-fold risk increase in heart attacks and other cardiovascular events. Those with levels over 11.84 mmol/L had a 2.4-fold increase risk for death.

I was wrong about preventing heart attacks

It’s true. I may have been giving the wrong recommendation about preventing heart attacks.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I know how to prevent heart attacks. It’s pretty easy, really. Every single person over 60 should have an IV chelation treatment once a week. Then, after five months, continue to have one every month as maintenance. After 30 years, I have not seen one patient have a heart attack or a stroke who was on this program. And that includes many patients with a very strong family history. But, unfortunately, not everyone knows about or follows this simple advice.

As a result, I see patients every week who have had heart attacks. One of the first things they ask me is whether or not they should continue taking a baby aspirin (80 mg) once a day in order to prevent more attacks.

Is iodine causing your memory loss?

You probably already know that iodine is an essential nutrient. And you may know that there’s a high incidence of deficiency in the population. But did you know that an iodine deficiency may contribute to memory loss? It’s true. And a new study shows that simply taking iodine could solve the problem.

In this study, the researchers gave iodine to mildly iodine-deficient children. They found that the supplement improved their cognitive function. So a deficiency might prevent them from attaining their full intellectual potential.
