My old college roommate, R.G. looked a mess when he came to me. A month after his heart attack he was in my clinic desperate for help.

“If this is what it feels like to survive a heart attack I’d rather be dead!”

My own search for a possible cancer cure began in late 2004 when I found out that my cousin, lifelong friend and running buddy, Jeff Johnson, had been diagnosed as having stage-three melanoma.  The cancer had appeared out of nowhere and so it was quite a shock to my cousin and everyone close to him...

You know how I feel about supplements: Some you need, some you don't -- and plenty make outrageous claims they can't back up.

But the FDA has never been a friend of even the best vitamins -- they'd rather you get all your health needs from their friends at Big Pharma. And while their latest shenanigans might be getting some dubious products off the shelves, they're also hurting people looking for real, natural and safe ways to avoid sicknesses like the flu.

If you want someone to sort out all the nonsense about H1N1, someone who’s well-informed, has no professional agenda, and nothing to gain financially, then Tom Jefferson, M.D., is your guy.

For 15 years, Dr. Jefferson has been studying the nature of influenza and vaccines with the Cochrane Collaboration – a non-profit, independent organization that reviews a wide variety of health care research.

And now Dr. Jefferson and his colleagues have some good news: You can stop worrying about H1N1, and you can even stop worrying about the H1N1 vaccine, if you will only do one thing…

Nobody has yet shown any way to extend the life span of humans. However, both exercise and calorie restriction (with adequate nutrients) have been shown to extend the life span of animals...

If it wasn’t for bratty kids and their exasperated parents, television shows like SuperNanny and Nanny 911 wouldn’t be so incredibly popular. The child-rearing experts on those shows make it look like an effortless deal to turn kids who curse, bite, and throw spinach at the wall into civilized beings.

But unlike those calm, in-charge TV nannies, the typical parent still flounders through the discipline quagmire — pleading, cajoling, yelling, screaming, punishing, and finally spanking or hitting the errant child in desperate hope of effecting some change.

Although we can find many foods in the supermarket that have been fortified with a synthetic form of Vitamin D, there are only a select number of foods containing vitamin D in them naturally.

Lately, there’s been more misinformation on colloidal silver going around than I’ve seen since the FDA first instituted their failed campaign to ban it back in the late 1990’s. 

People seem to be "salting" various news and social networking forums with this misinformation, in an attempt to get it passed around the internet and posted on even more forums.

As we age, our bones begin to erode, which to some extent is normal and a natural result of aging.  However, some of us lose so much bone that our skeletons become weakened and deformed and in severe cases we incur loss of bone density in multiple places.

That is osteoporosis, and it frequently causes fractures of the hip, spine and forearm. At its worst, bones can become so frail that they can crack and break under the body's own weight!
