How to turn back your cardiovascular clock! May 1, 2018

If you were to go on a hunt for the fountain of youth, where would you start? You could go to Florida, where legend says that explorer Ponce de Leon went searching. Or try the hot springs in Fairbanks, Alaska, or bathe in the bubbling mineral waters of Saratoga Springs, New York. But don’t start […]

Is your BP med linked to pancreatic cancer? April 25, 2018

You know that researchers have stumbled upon something serious when they tell us not to panic!

But this finding is about as grave as it comes – a significant link between pancreatic cancer […]

Will this proposed Rx put you in triple jeopardy? March 22, 2018

Sometimes, things are just easier when put together — like combining shampoo and conditioner into one bottle or when Smucker’s brainstormed swirling jelly up the sides of its peanut butter jars. Now, the latest and greatest combo coming down the pike is Big Pharma’s own version of “convenience” — an easy way to lower your […]

Could a low-salt diet be the gateway to dementia? March 14, 2018

For as long as I can remember, the low-sodium myth has been hammered into our heads by the feds, mainstream researchers, and even (I’m sure!) your own doctor. So, by this point you know their familiar refrain — if you don’t carefully restrict your salt intake you’re risking dire consequences such as high blood pressure, […]

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 […]

What are these blood pressure drugs doing to your kidneys? August 7, 2017

At first, it was a medical mystery. Odd lesions formed by the growth of “defective and nonfunctional” veins were found in the kidneys of laboratory mice But that discovery was a lightbulb moment for a group of scientists from the University of Virginia School of Medicine — because the cause of those damaging lesions was […]

Your life may depend on knowing how to avoid and break a fall June 29, 2017

How does it feel to be a daredevil? No, I don’t mean skydiving, scaling a rocky ledge or running with the bulls! What I am talking about are common, everyday activities — such as walking, showering or climbing a flight of stairs. Because falling is a much bigger risk than you might ever have imagined. […]

Study finds statins especially risky for seniors June 21, 2017

When the dust settles, this could turn out to be the biggest bombshell to ever hit the mainstream’s beloved statin drugs. Actually, it’s a double whammy, striking these meds on two fronts. One throws ice water on the knee-jerk way statin prescriptions are given out to seniors like candy to children, and the other confirms […]

Four-in-one blood-pressure med should be deep-sixed June 19, 2017

It’s an idea whose time hasn’t come — again! A not-so-new plan to combine several different low-dose meds together in one pill, similar to another concoction dubbed the “polypill,” is back… and being pitched for those with high blood pressure. This time, the plan is a low-dose of up to four different blood pressure meds, […]

New study casts further doubt on benefits of beta blockers June 6, 2017

It’s called the “standard of care” for anyone with heart disease or who has suffered a heart attack. Now, however, some new research is reevaluating this knee-jerk approach to dispensing drugs known as beta blockers to all post heart-attack patients. And this isn’t the first time that these meds — which block the effects of […]
