We’ve been fighting the wrong enemy.
In the war against America’s biggest killer, heart disease, doctors told us for decades that we needed to cut saturated fat.
This, it turns out, is nonsense spawned by bad science.
One of the worst offenders is the 1969 Los Angeles VA Study.[i]
It looked at 850 elderly veterans who were divided into two groups.… Read More
Since March, 911 calls for medical emergencies have dropped by more than 26%.
At the same time, emergency calls to homes where someone has died have doubled, according a new study from the University at Buffalo/State University of New York.
What’s going on?
People are afraid to call an ambulance. They worry they will catch the coronavirus if they go to the hospital, researchers say.… Read More
Since many health professionals spend their days checking patients’ blood pressure, you’d think they’d be really good at it.
They’re not.
Busy doctor’s offices routinely rush through the tests. This often ends up with patients getting falsely high readings. They are then put on drugs.
The American College of Cardiology has issued guidelines that are supposed to ensure accurate measurements. The problem is that doctors, nurses, and physician assistants are notoriously bad at following them.… Read More
A new Cambridge University study found that there’s an existing health treatment so effective that it saves nearly 4 million lives every year around the world.
In the U.S. alone, it prevents 140,200 fatalities annually.
That’s roughly equivalent to the entire death toll so far from COVID-19.
The study found that this treatment is so effective it may be the single most lifesaving weapon against disease that mankind has.… Read More
Out-of-control inflammation is how COVID-19 kills.
And inflammation is the underlying cause of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and many other deadly health conditions. A recent medical journal review called inflammation “the most significant cause of death in the world today.”[1]
Harvard University researchers go even further. They say inflammation may cause all disease. They call it the “unifying theory” of illness.… Read More
For decades, coffee got a bad rap from mainstream doctors. It started with bad science…
A 1946 Johns Hopkins study found that people who drank lots of coffee had a 300% higher risk of heart disease.[1]
The research was nonsense.
The scientists didn’t control for smoking. Back in the day, many people smoked cigarettes with coffee. Subsequent studies discovered it was the smoking, not the coffee, that was causing heart disease in coffee drinkers.… Read More
