Why statins are a joke and heart healthy fats are BS
February is American Heart Month, and this year’s marks the 57th consecutive heart health month since President Lyndon B. Johnson (a heart attack survivor) issued the first proclamation in 1964. Unfortunately, much of the hype that will be bombarding us this month has very little to do with actual heart health! As usual, we’ll all be reminded to wear red, to control our cholesterol (with statins, of course) and avoid saturated fats while using...

Surprising causes (and real answers!) for depression
Depression affects nearly 350 million people worldwide, and those numbers have continued to rise over the last several decades. As a matter of fact, depression is now the #1 leading cause of disability, replacing chronic back pain and arthritis. Recently, it’s gotten even worse—during the COVID-19 lockdowns it was estimated that US cases of depression nearly tripled! Depression is very difficult to treat because it’s not a “cut-and-dry” illness…and sadly that means many people...

This disease didn’t exist 100 years ago—now it’s exploding!
If you are an adult living in in the US or a similar “Westernized” country, chances are good you already have or soon will develop a sly, silent and rather common disease. This condition quietly progresses and waits like a spider…then when it rears its ugly head, you quickly find yourself flat on your back (or in surgery). I’m talking about diverticulosis. Here’s what you need to know about this “silent” condition that is...

Half of US adults have this COVID-19 risk factor—do you?
According to the American Heart Association, currently about 103 million Americans have high blood pressure—that’s nearly HALF of adults in the US! High blood pressure is the number one cause of heart disease and stroke, plus it raises your risk of heart failure and heart attack too. It can also damage small arteries, resulting in kidney failure or vision loss, and raises your risk of dementia. And most recently, it is a co-morbid condition...

A blatantly ignored cause of disease and death
Despite what you may read on most pharmaceutical company-sponsored “health” websites and even what your doctor may tell you, disease doesn’t just pop out of nowhere and bite poor unsuspecting you in the derriere. Disease is not normal, it is not a reflection of your body needing some drug, it’s not something you should expect as you age, and it is not some mysterious phenomenon that nobody can explain and for which you have...

Cases of this disease are exploding—but no one’s talking about it
I think it’s fair to say that we should be able to expect the CDC to be rather thorough in its reporting of disease information. After all, the “Centers For Disease Control and Prevention” implies that they actually have reliable statistics to help control and prevent disease. Well, I beg to differ. Because there is a huge omission in the CDC’s disease statistics as they pertain to deaths and mortality, based on my recent...
