By John Phillip,
(NaturalNews) Stroke remains the third leading cause of death in the US, taking the lives of more than 140,000 people each year, and is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability. Three-quarters of those suffering from a stroke are aged 65 or older, often the result of decades of poor dietary and lifestyle choices. Past studies have shown that suffering from a stroke is preventable by lowering the circulating levels of the non-protein amino acid known as homocysteine. Researchers from…

By Ethan A. Huff,

The ‘cigarette hangover’ and how it worsens smoking addiction
By S. D. Wells,
(NaturalNews) Just about anyone who has had “too much to drink” knows about the alcohol hangover, where you have an excruciating headache and your body does NOT want you to do anything that requires energy. The first thing you do when you wake up with a hangover is reach for some water and pain reliever. Millions of smokers worldwide have “found themselves” in a similar, vicious cycle where they pollute their body with 4,000 chemicals, and then wait about 30 to 45 minutes for the hangover to kick…
CDC says fluoride has no evidence of benefit for infants
By Doug Cragoe,
(NaturalNews) In a letter to California senator Barbara Boxer the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) director Thomas Frieden responded to questions about fluoride and infants. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 1997 set the adequate amount of fluoride for infants 0 to 6 months of age at .01 milligrams per day, which is the amount of fluoride found in breast milk. The CDC was asked if more fluoride than the adequate amount was beneficial. CDC director Frieden wrote “We are unaware of data that directly…

Vitamin D protects against colds, flu and viral infections
By John Phillip,
(NaturalNews) Vitamin D is an essential cofactor in the prevention of a host of conditions ranging from cancer to diabetes, dementia and cardiovascular disease.

Dr Oz a sellout on vaccines, declares Robert Scott Bell
By Jonathan Benson,
(NaturalNews) There is a lot that television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz has said over the years that has actually been helpful and eye-opening for many people — and some of it has even run against the grain of the mainstream medical system. But a recent article co-written by Dr. Oz that promotes vaccines has caused many within the natural health community, including homeopath and radio host Robert Scott Bell, to declare Dr. Oz a sellout for the vaccine industry. The article in question, which…

Would You Recognize Signs of Heart Disease in Your Dog?
By Dr. Becker
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a type of heart disease in dogs in which the heart muscle doesn’t contract or pump efficiently. Eventually the heart chambers enlarge, the valves of the heart may leak, and congestive heart failure can occur.
- The cause of DCM is unknown, but nutritional deficiencies could be a contributing factor. Male dogs and certain large breeds are more prone to the condition.
- Symptoms can be non-existent or very mild in the beginning, but as the disease progresses there can be decreased exercise tolerance, tiring quickly, increased respiration, excessive panting and coughing, sudden episodes of weakness or fainting, and an enlarged abdomen due to fluid accumulation.
- Several tests are usually required to make a definitive diagnosis of DCM, including an echocardiogram. Also, the proBNP test is a simple blood test with a fast turnaround time that can detect a problem very early in the disease process.
- Treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy focuses on improving heart function and treating symptoms of congestive heart failure. Because the disease is irreversible and heart failure is typically progressive, the drugs and dosages required to manage DCM usually increase over time.
This Month’s Real Story: Bubba
By Dr. Becker
- Bubba at 3 years of age was a miserable boy – itchy, yeasty, inflamed and infected. Throughout his short life, Bubba had been dosed with dewormers, anti-inflammatory drugs, an incredible amount of vaccines, and enough antibiotics to insure he acquired a MRSA infection on top of all his other health issues.
- My healing protocol for Bubba included a change in diet, no more vaccinations, disinfecting baths and anti-fungals. It took a few months, but eventually Bubba’s health began to turn around. But within a couple years, he developed a new problem – elbow dysplasia.
- Rather than opting immediately for the recommended surgery for his elbows, we took a conservative approach. We focused on weight control and muscle toning, began supplementing with chondroprotective agents and Adequan, and provided natural pain management. Within a few months, Bubba was walking normally again and his elbows showed normal range of motion.
- Bubba’s parents were determined to give their dog the best quality of life possible despite his rough start and the poor genetic hand he was dealt. Bubba’s one lucky bulldog to have such committed owners who will continue to insure he lives happily in the body he was given.
