For some people, the fiber in oats may help with heart health. But for others, oats may trigger a cascade of illness. The difficulties stem from a group of proteins in oats called avenins. These proteins are similar to gluten and have long been suspected of causing damaging immune responses in people with celiac who have autoimmune reactions to gluten.

There’s cancer in your water, and the government mandates it be put there. So much for the idea government bureaucrats are concerned about your health. The additives sodium fluoride and chlorine are both cancer-causing agents, as numerous studies have shown. Sodium fluoride is added to most American drinking water under government fiat.

The ‘incurable’ diseases are not as incurable as you think. I expected to be bedridden and befuddled by now due to my “incurable” disease – secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

But a study at the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio shows that the…
There is no blood test to see if you have enough … no way to know until you’re tired, muscle fatigued, lacking testosterone, have increased inflammation in your heart, or losing your hearing. Only then will you know that you’re deficient. But odds are, you’re already deficient. In fact, about 75% of Americans [1] don’t get enough of this single mineral that can mend all those problems I just mentioned,…
As you age, heart disease becomes one of the chief threats to your life. But you can readily shrink your chances of dying from cardiovascular problems according to researchers at the University of Denmark. In a five-year study, the Danish researchers examined 600 people with coronary artery disease. That’s the condition that ensues when the arteries that supply the heart muscle with nutrients and oxygen develop blockages. It can lead…
Did you know there’s a widely-prescribed class of drugs that can lead to artery blockages? And if you take this common drug, it may be time to talk to your doctor about cutting back, or looking for a natural solution. A lab study of the effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), a class of drug used to treat depression and marketed under names like Prozac and Zoloft looked into…
