Is your osteoporosis treatment increasing
your risk for colon cancer?

If you’re following conventional medicine’s advice for your bones, you may be increasing your risk for colon cancer.

Conventional medicine says you should take lots of calcium for your bones. On the surface, the advice makes sense, as calcium does help bones stay strong. However, your body keeps most calcium outside of your cells. So taking a lot of it really doesn’t help your bones. But it could increase your risk of colon cancer.

A large clinical trial has shown that calcium plays a major role in reducing colon cancer. But not in the way you might think. You see, calcium’s beneficial effect on reducing colon cancer is based on a low calcium to magnesium ratio. That means that you want higher magnesium levels compared to your calcium levels. In people with the highest magnesium to calcium ratio, the risk of colorectal cancer adenoma recurrence was 32% less than those with lower ratios.

10 times more likely to die of a heart attack
without this nutrient

There aren’t that many supplements that you can take that can decrease your risk of death more than 10%. But one of them has been shown to do exactly that. What’s more, you can buy it at any health food store.

A new study out of Italy shows that anyone who wants to avoid a heart attack should be taking this essential nutrient.

The researchers looked at 160 men and women between the ages of 39 and 86 years. All of these people had one thing in common. They had just recently checked out of the hospital after having had a myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction is the ten-dollar term for heart attack.

Why the new mumps outbreak puts you at risk

Did you have the mumps when you were a child? If so, it’s one of the best ways to avoid the mumps now that you’re older. If you didn’t have the mumps, you could be at serious risk for contracting the childhood disease – even if you’ve had the vaccine.

As you may know, I’ve decried vaccines for decades. Why? They’re toxic (they inject poisonous additives into you), they deny children their needed usual infections to develop a robust immune system, and now there’s a third reason. Vaccines may not last a lifetime. And if they don’t, you could contract the disease as an adult. Think it won’t happen? Think again.

Last week, at least 1,521 people in New York and New Jersey developed mumps. About 85% of the victims had the usual two doses of the MMR vaccine. What have they gotten for it? So far, 55 cases of swollen and painful testicles, five cases of pancreatitis, two cases of meningitis, one case of temporary deafness, one case of Bell’s palsy, and one case of inflamed ovaries.
