What do you want first? The good news or the bad?

The mainstream medical establishment doesn’t want you to know this… because they make so much money by keeping you in the dark…

But you can cut your risk of contracting any form of cancer in half – right now – with the information in this article.

Cancer is caused by stress – biological, psychological, chemical and physical stress. In modern times the stress has increased geometrically because of pollution, artificial foods and other factors.

But eons ago Nature created an antidote to stress – a natural hormone that stimulates the body’s immune system. If you make full use of this natural defense, studies show you can cut your risk of cancer in half.

I am talking about the world’s strongest anti-cancer hormone. In terms of prevention, it is probably a thousand times stronger than any substance that the medical and drug industry has ever come up with.

One very important – but largely ignored – study found that that 30% of all cancer deaths – which amounts to 2 million world-wide and 200,000 in the U.S. – could be prevented each year with higher levels of this hormone.

Health Warning! Diabetes Drug Gets Thumbs Up

An FDA panel has voted to keep Avandia on the market. You’ve probably heard of Avandia: it’s a controversial diabetes pill made by Glaxo Smith Kline. The drug controls blood sugar levels by sensitizing the body to insulin. It used to be the world’s best selling diabetes drug after the FDA first approved its sale. By 2006 U.S. sales totaled $2.2 billion per year.

But the drug has come under heavy scrutiny since a series of studies revealed that it increases the risk of stroke. The leading study was written by heart expert Dr. Steven Nissen in 2007. He’s the chairman of Cleveland Clinic’s department of cardiovascular medicine. He reviewed 40 studies related to the drug and uncovered a shocking truth: patients taking Avandia increased their risk of heart attack by 42 percent. His findings were later published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The Age-Defying Power of Antioxidants – Part Five

The Marvels of the “Miracle Mineral”

Antioxidants can help restore youth, replenish energy, and even improve heart health. But did you know that one mineral is so vital that deficiency doubles your chance of death? And guess what? Experts estimate that 80 percent of the population is exactly that. 

That miracle mineral is magnesium.

The claim that magnesium deficiency doubles your chances of death is quite genuine. The finding came from a study published in The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine. But the conclusion comes as no surprise to leading experts in the field. They agree that magnesium is critical to long life and good health.

“Magnesium deficiency triggers 22 conditions,” says Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D. As a magnesium expert, she should know. She has led medical research on the subject for over 30 years. She currently serves as the Medical Director of the Nutritional Magnesium Association and wrote The Magnesium Miracle.

The Age-Defying Power of Antioxidants – Part Four

Enjoy the Energy of Childhood!

I went to the park the other day and was perplexed by what I saw. The park was full of people enjoying summer: couples sprawled against each other; boys riding bikes; girls out jogging; a serious-looking man reading a novel under the shade of a tree; and grandparents watching young ones run and play.

It’s a sight we’ve all seen many times: a simple sunny day in the park. It’s a scene we all accept as natural and normal.

But that day it struck me as odd.

There was something wrong with the picture. There was a pattern to it… young people being active, older people being sedentary. And I realized that a theme straight out of conventional wisdom was playing out in front of me… the acceptance that, as we get older, we slow down.

This struck me as particularly strange because of what I do each day. I spend my time researching scientific studies and talking to leading experts in the medical field. And from all that digging, I’ve found no reason that “old” should mean “tired” or “slow.”

The Age-Defying Power of Antioxidants – Part Three

Wipe Away Wrinkles

The older you get, the more wrinkles you “earn.” That’s what conventional wisdom tells us.

But you don’t have to resign yourself to living with sagging, wrinkled skin for the rest of your life. In fact, there are people who are over 60 with absolutely wrinkle-free skin. My father has a close friend who’s well into his 60s and doesn’t look a day over 45. He’s been around so long that we call him “Uncle Jon.” But he’s never changed since the day I met him. His face is tan and free of lines. And he’s sharp and in shape.

Scientists have been trying to figure out why some people – like “Uncle Jon” – don’t seem to age like the rest of us. And there is emerging evidence that a class of proteins called sirtuins are the cause.

The evidence is clear: if you know how to activate your sirtuins, you too can turn back the clock.

The Science Behind “Brainberries” The Age-Defying Power of Antioxidants – Part One

Berries Boost Brain Power

Our mental functions slow down as we age. Our focus weakens with each passing year. We lose memory clarity. That’s because oxidative stress ravages our mental systems across the decades. And our brains lose nutrients for prime function.

But antioxidants can help reverse this damage. The right combination of foods can replace the nutrients we lose. They can even prevent memory loss.

THB panel expert Dr. Al Sears says, “Feed your brain [what] it needs. You can maintain and even improve your brain function… no matter how old you are.”

You can find antioxidants in everyday food. Simple store-bought berries are a rich source. Studies show that blueberries “increase health and enhance cognitive function in aging.”

The first step to restoring brain power is simple. It can be as easy as adding fresh blueberries to your yogurt at breakfast time.

How Our Brains Age

Most experts agree about the cause of mental decline. Decline is caused by oxidative stress or free radical damage to the brain.
