Swine flu vaccine — it may be deadly

I guess I’ve been around too long. I remember the swine flu “epidemic” of 1976. I had been practicing medicine for three years then. According to some of the infectious disease experts of the time, the swine virus was so dangerous that they were able to convince the United States Congress to pay for vaccines for every citizen to prevent the “deadly” disease. About 25% of all Americans bought the idea. The results?

What to take with vitamins to fight osteoporosis even better

I’ve had awesome results treating osteoporosis with diet and supplements. I’ve told you about these treatments in the past. (You can see these past issues on my website.) Now I have yet more wonderful news. There’s a simple and cheap way to treat osteoporosis that could make my diet and supplement recommendations even more effective.

It showed that vitamin C (1,000 mg daily) and vitamin E (600 mg daily) can reduce inflammation and stop osteoporosis! The participants took the vitamins for six months.

The supplements worked as well as resistance training. And combining them did not add to the effectiveness.

This “toxic” nutrient can stop prostate cancer in its tracks

A few weeks ago, I showed you how vitamin K2 can help prevent prostate cancer. But there’s another way to stop the disease. In fact, it’s a treatment I’ve used for years to reverse precancerous lesions.

A new study says that vitamin A may protect your prostate as much as it protects your intestines and a woman’s cervix.

In this study, researchers compared 692 prostate cancer cases and 844 age-matched controls. The researchers found that those men with the highest levels of retinol (vitamin A) in their blood had a stunning 42% reduced risk of aggressive prostate cancer, as compared to men in the lowest group.
