Statins shown to cause, not prevent, breast cancer December 19, 2017

As we’ve told you over the years, it looks like Big Pharma and its minions will stop at nothing until every man, woman, and child is popping statin drugs such as Lipitor, Crestor, and Zocor. This, however, could be the cheapest, most low-down trick of all. A group of pharma-connected researchers are trying to tell […]

Could this heart med set you up for… skin cancer? December 14, 2017

If you’re taking a certain type of medication to lower your blood pressure, you could be setting yourself up for skin cancer. Nope, that’s not a typo — skin cancer. And I’m not just talking about some obscure hypertension med, either… but best-selling drugs that over 20 million Americans faithfully take every single day. It’s […]

Digestive problems? These meds may be the cause December 13, 2017

If you happen to land on the webpage for the top-selling blood pressure meds in the U.S. (all made by Japanese drugmaker Daiichi Sankyo), you’ll see a big photo of a happy man surfing at a beautiful tropical locale splashed across the top. But that could be a rather cruel joke, as anyone who takes […]

Simple test may help cut heart risk during surgery December 13, 2017

It’s the injury to your heart that you — and your doctor — may never have seen coming. While your surgeon may downplay the danger, there’s no doubt that surgery — of any kind — is risky. And while I’m not trying to unnecessarily scare you if you need to have a procedure done, you […]

Is this humble plant the answer to the opioid epidemic? December 11, 2017

If the largest commercial airplane out there was filled to capacity and crashed, it would certainly be a tragic loss of life. Now, take that doomed jet and fill it up over 183,000 times, and you’d have around the same number of people who have died because of prescription opioid drugs during the last 16 […]

This hip arthritis shot could be ‘bad to the bone’ December 11, 2017

If you suffer from the pain and stiffness of hip arthritis, a steroid shot may seem like a miracle. After all, anything that can give you complete relief from that pain (even if just for a short time) is a godsend. But that reprieve may come at a very big price. A new study has […]

FDA issues long-overdue alert on popular gout med December 5, 2017

It’s an urgent warning that took the FDA years to issue… and it’s not done yet! From the start — practically a decade ago during clinical trials — it was quite obvious that the gout med Uloric was linked to heart attacks, strokes, and other “heart-related” deaths. But the FDA went ahead and approved it […]

Legionnaires’ disease now a bigger threat than ever November 28, 2017

Not even The Happiest Place on Earth is safe from Legionnaires’ disease. Two Disneyland cooling towers were recently found to contain the bacteria responsible for the illness, and 11 park visitors have been diagnosed with this potentially deadly type of pneumonia. Legionnaires’ also struck four other people in the Anaheim, California, area, and two of […]

Newly approved med use poses kidney cancer ‘triple threat’ November 27, 2017

The FDA has just given the green light to another use for a risky chemo drug called Sutent, which is already used to treat cancers of the stomach, bowel, esophagus, and pancreas. But when an advisory committee met earlier this year to vote whether the use of Sutent could be expanded to “prevent” a return […]

Are you being poisoned by that favorite mug or glass? November 22, 2017

It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without setting the table with those beautiful drinking goblets Aunt Mary gave you. But those glasses — along with any others that contain decorative designs, especially around the rim — may be slowly poisoning you and your family. A new study from researchers in the UK has found that the […]

Don’t be hoodwinked by the ‘new’ hypertension hype November 21, 2017

Were you one of the over 30 million Americans who woke up one day last week to find that you’d suddenly developed high blood pressure… overnight? You didn’t even have to go see your doctor to get that news — you just turned on the TV! It was one of those “big” medical stories covered […]
