After years of writing and educating about the real risks of statin drugs this is an extremely refreshing and supportive report.

Medical journal editors brand statins as ‘without known benefit but with definite risk’ for most

If you want to balance out your cholesterol, first check your thyroid, then evaluate triglycerides that are the real danger to your health, and get nutritional and lifestyle support.

Keeping Watch: Health Care Topics and New Health Legislation (2)

As a longtime health care professional and whistle blower I find company in Einer's thoughts as very similar to what I have been telling people for decades. Listen Up! Another risk is ALEC and their effort to bring about Medicare privatization.   More about ALEC will continue on Natural Health News. Myths of “Health Reform”  By Lee Einer    The Democratic Party has recently launched a PR push to assure voters of the wonders of the newly enacted “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” It seems to me that the Democratic Party is at least a little concerned that this controversial legislation might be an albatross around their necks come midterm elections. They should be. I recently attended a public presentation on the Act, a presentation delivered by an aide to Sen. Jeff Bingaman, a Democrat, who sat on the HELP committee which produced this bill in the senate. Bingaman's aide made some glowing claims for the legislation, and while some were...

Malnutrition Equals Obesity

While this article from Gary Scattergood is written about the issue of malnutrition in the UK it is certainly appropriate to raise the same question in the US. In the late 60s when I was in college earning my NP degrees I studied nutrition as an integrated part of the the curriculum.  Certainly we knew then that malnutrition was an issue directly related to health, not some obscure thought.  Even then we knew cancer for instance was a nutritional disease as were many hospital related deaths. Disease now is just thought of as a deficiency of some pharmaceutical drug and the problem is not addressed from all possible and interrelated issues.   Shame on health providers, shame on dietitians, government, and big business along with seemingly ignorant legislators. Put the spotlight on malnutrition instead of obesity The UK is in dire need of a national strategy to tackle malnutrition, which is at least as big a problem to public health and the public...

More Fish Oil Folly from Mainstream Medicine

Recently I sent out a message about this study, pointing out the use of fractionated omega 3 in the DHA only form, and a low dose, les than therapeutic recommendations. Now another of many commentaries has been published. Before you believe the talking heads on your TV station or the internet aggregator sites, do a bit of your own investigation.  We hope this helps. Several scientific studies have found a reduction in prostate cancer associated with increased omega-3 intake. 1-11 A recent report purportedly showed the opposite. 12 This report was based on a single blood test of plasma fatty acids in a group of 834 men who were followed up to six years to assess prostate cancer risk (low- and high-grade disease). A smaller group of 75 men was followed up to nine years to assess only high-grade prostate cancer risk. The results showed that slightly higher omega-3 plasma percentages from this single blood test were associated with a greater risk of low-grade ( 44% ) and hi...
