Sometimes good advice can come in disguise. And a perfect example of that can be found in an eye-opening press release issued by the University of Michigan. The release was about a study which looked at the side effects of breast cancer treatments. But while the university’s Dr. Steven Katz rambles on and on about […]
Mental health therapy essential to recovery from cancer January 31, 2017
If there’s ever an excellent example of the “mind-body connection” it’s when someone has cancer. While some doctors have recognized the benefits of treating the “whole person,” it’s pretty much a crap shoot whether cancer patients get any recognition of those needs or not. And as if the concept needed any more “official” recognition, a […]

This may be the showdown of the decade between doctors who take Big Pharma’s dollars — and then push its drugs — and experts who are revealing the truth about these medications.

Doctors band together to challenge the great statin scam January 23, 2017
The idea that statins are perfectly safe to take is similar to the theory that the earth is flat. Both are just plain wrong.

Is your heartburn med setting you up for a fatal infection? January 11, 2017
It’s hard to believe that a class of drugs that can do so much harm can be so easy to obtain. I’m talking about those acid-reducing meds that are sold everywhere — and, for the most part, without a prescription. And when I say cause harm, I’m referring to some very serious health issues, such […]
Dozens of drugs – including eye drops – can cause glaucoma January 11, 2017
The bad news is that over three million in the U.S. suffer from glaucoma. The even worse news is that figure is expected to rise by 58 percent in a little over a decade. And of course, that’s being blamed on more and more people entering their golden years. But while it’s true that your […]
Are you putting lead on your lips every day? January 9, 2017
What’s more adorable than little girls playing dress-up and putting on mom’s or grandma’s make-up? Well, I think after you hear what may be in that lipstick (among other things), you’re going to want to put it under lock and key. Along with foods and drugs, the FDA also regulates cosmetics, but it might as […]
Researchers solve the mystery of what really causes RA January 5, 2017
Could the cause of rheumatoid arthritis have just been found? If you or a loved one suffers from this debilitating condition, you’ve probably been told the basics. How it’s an autoimmune disease, and that for “some reason” your immune system has started attacking healthy tissue. As to why, you’ll be told that’s not yet “fully […]

Common drugs may be what’s causing your hearing problems January 4, 2017
Hearing loss: It’s one of the least talked-about side effects of lots of drugs, including common OTC ones. But it’s real, it’s scary and, thanks to a new study from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, it’s once again been confirmed. So if your hearing is starting to go, don’t let anyone — your family, friends, and […]
Senior ER visits often due to the effects of everyday drugs January 3, 2017
They’re the drugs that are making seniors sick – and sending them to the ER in droves. These meds also happen to be among some of the most commonly-used ones — both Rx and OTC — to help with things like getting to sleep at night and managing pain. They are even taken daily for […]
