Reduce your risk of colon cancer by 76% without pills

I told you a few weeks ago about curcumin’s ability to stop Alzheimer’s disease. And I’ve told you many times in the past about quercetin, which can reduce your colon cancer risk. These two nutrients are bioflavonoids. But quercetin isn’t the only nutrient that can slow colon cancer. A new four-year study shows that other little-known bioflavonoids also stop colon cancer.

In this study, researchers followed 1,905 patients with a high risk for colon cancer. All of them had at least one confirmed colorectal adenoma within six months of the study. Adenomas are a significant risk factor for cancer. Then the researchers assessed the amount of flavonoids they were eating by using a food frequency questionnaire.

Why you don’t need to treat your blood pressure

Back in 2002, I shocked the medical world by telling my readers that they didn’t need to treat their blood pressure.

The researchers were quick to point out that those with natural blood pressure 115/70 have fewer heart attacks. But medically treating to get your blood pressure that low doesn’t help. Now the big question is why.

Millions of people have a medical condition that they don't know about. Sometimes they develop it in their childhood years, but that is relatively uncommon. It usually starts later, in their 30s and 40s. By the age of 50, almost half of everyone will have this condition.

What's more, this condition is the most common cause of high cholesterol. It also causes weight gain, fatigue, increased susceptibility to infections, mood disorders, ADD, joint and muscle pains, and a host of other symptoms. The worst part about this disorder is that doctors almost always mis-diagnose it.
