Healthy Life For us

For a very long time I have, on my web sites and in this blog as well as in other articles I write for different publications, been alerting people to the extreme risks associated with statin drugs.  I recently wrote an article for my column with Sinclair News on this topic.  What is so alarming is the fact the the Big PhRMA firms that have been manufacturing these drugs for more than 20 years knew the risks.  What's worse in my mind is that they also probably knew the effects on health would be serious and there was really no long term benefit other than their own bank account and shareholder dividends. Is it worth it to you to trade in your health?  After reading this new report you might begin to wonder if you already haven't. Statin drugs can accelerate cardiovascular problems, a new report has discovered. The drugs harden the major arteries, they are a main cause of type 2 diabetes   in healthy people  and accelerate the major health problems in th...

Kedar N. Prasad, PhD This time the change may be back to the past, and to tell you the truth it really annoys me. Not that it is a personal annoyance, its more like one huge road block put in your path  because other people's ignorance can really harm your health. I think it is strange in a Jim Morrison kind of way that some get turned into celebrities by the media  not really based on out come but because they are on TV or they get interviewed by someone else in the TV spotlight. Just because someone is on TV really does not mean they are an expert in what they plie on their show. Remember that every show has sponsors and producers.  If the recommend something it does not really mean it is effective or effective for you.  All it is is mass marketing.  And where are you when that suggestion fails you? Its also like aggregator web sites.  They fill their pages with info taken from other sources, make it look as if this was original material, and never give y...

Not too many days ago I wrote an article for my column on Health & Politics at Sinclair News .  I had been waiting for the results of Andrew Breitbart's autopsy because an earlier commenter claimed that no one dies at age 43 from heart disease. Certainly this is well known to be untrue. Drugs cause problems, and now it seems that my concern over lack of training in the last decade or so for doctors and specialists has found support. You can learn a lot more about prevention from material posted on my website  to help you and perhaps some of these doctors in training learn more about this most important sector of health care. The 2012 edition of my 2005 book, Blood Pressure Care Naturally , is now available.  This little book, the first in my Road To Health Natural Care Series, has been useful to hundreds, patients and providers alike. One of the key areas is the section on vitamins and minerals.  This point is more pronounced today coming from a new scientific st...

I write a new column on health and politics for Sinclair News.  I am pleased to have this venue because it allows me more freedom to write about things that need to be uncensored and where the fear factor is not an issue. While Larry Sinclair is, and has been, controversial, I have often found myself in that same class for decades. In my article about Big PhRMA published on 28 January, I mentioned  a new drug,  Bydureon (exenatide extended release), manufactured by Amylin Pharmaceuticals.  This is their new version of Byetta. "This long-acting form is a version of their diabetes drug Byetta, that can be used weekly. Byetta is a synthetic exenatide formulation with risk for severe allergic reactions affecting the skin and respiratory system as well as pancreatitis and kidney disease. Now approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) this newer drug comes with a label warning that the drug caused certain thyroid tumors in rats. There has been no information p...
