Dangerous opioids routinely given to IBD sufferers February 5, 2018
If you’ve never had to deal with the pain and severe diarrhea of ulcerative colitis — or any other inflammatory bowel disease — consider yourself lucky. The nature of these diseases is probably why Big Pharma and the FDA think it’s okay to put some of the most incredibly dangerous drugs on the market for […]
The eAlert 2017 Hall of Shame December 28, 2017
It looks like 2017 is practically in the rear-view mirror! How in the world did that happen so fast? During the past 12 months, we’ve told you about many exciting natural therapies and remedies that have been shown — even proven — to be able to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, diabetes, and on and on. […]
New Alzheimer’s meds could be the riskiest of all December 20, 2017
There’s a new class of drugs speeding along the FDA’s fast track… straight to your doctor’s office. They’re called BACE inhibitors, and Big Pharma will be sparing no expense in selling them to you as a way to treat — and even prevent — Alzheimer’s disease. But these meds have been plagued with problems from […]
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 […]
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 […]

What will you do when antibiotics no longer work? November 28, 2017
It’s the biggest danger we’re all facing: a world without antibiotics. And what seemed a distant threat not too long ago is now lurking right around the bend — due, in large part, to the haphazard way these drugs are given to farm animals. So, the World Health Organization (WHO) stepped in right before Thanksgiving […]
The all-natural way to finally get a good night’s sleep November 9, 2017
Big Pharma knows our problems all too well! And getting enough sleep is certainly one of them — especially as we get older. And with the help of creepy butterflies that go in and out of bedroom windows and oddball fuzzy “pets” that make out the words “sleep” and “awake,” it’s gone all out to […]
Is this one of the reasons diabetes rates are off the charts? October 31, 2017
By all accounts, type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. And children and young adults are being hit the hardest — even though, not too long ago, type 2 was practically unheard of in kids. Of course, if you ask experts why there’s been such an increase, you’ll hear the usual — […]
Forget statins -- these cholesterol meds are even riskier October 10, 2017
At first, the FDA said that the shiny new cholesterol drugs Repatha and Praluent would be reserved for people with HeFH, an inherited disease that causes super-high cholesterol numbers. Then we heard that these risky meds could also be prescribed for another limited group: folks who had tried everything but just couldn’t get their LDL […]
The flu ‘treatment’ that’s worse than the flu itself September 25, 2017
Over a decade ago, the feds conducted one of the biggest government handouts ever, all in the name of keeping Americans safe from a global flu outbreak. That was when billions of our tax dollars were spent to stockpile “oseltamivir phosphate,” a.k.a. Tamiflu. But since that time, we’ve learned a whole lot more about this […]
Could this be the reason deadly strokes are on the rise? September 25, 2017
After steadily improving over the past few decades, the numbers of Americans dying due to a stroke is now going in the other direction. And it’s not just seniors who are in danger. Those so-called “millennials” (who run in age from 18 to 34), could probably be renamed “illennials,” as that age group is seeing […]
