Piece: Ring in the New Year with a new you
Dr. Wright’s here just in time with some great advice for reaching–and maintaining–your goal weight this year.
Shiny hair in a bottle
While dull, lifeless hair itself may not be a serious threat to your health, the condition that it is often a symptom of can be.
Nutrients for eye “floaters”
Floaters aren’t dangerous, but they can be bothersome if they happen frequently.
Coffee could stave off diabetes
If you can’t start your day without that morning cup of coffee, I have good news for you. A recent study shows that the more of the dark stuff you drink, the lower your risk of type 2 diabetes.
Tamiflu is useless
HIN1 is out there. It could strike at any time. And the effects could be devastating. But you’re prepared–you’ve got your Tamiflu. At least that’s what Big Pharma wants you to believe.
A natural approach to depression
My colleague and regular Nutrition & Healing columnist Kerry Bone is an herbalist with years of experience using St. John’s wort for treating patients with depression. Here is what Kerry has to say…
Cancer prevention from a dangerous bone drug?
Studies are showing that a class of osteoporosis drugs could be linked to a lower risk for breast cancer. Trouble is, these drugs are already linked to some pretty horrifying bone problems.
Is surgery the only option for uterine fibroids?
The United States performs more hysterectomies than anywhere else in the developed world, and many are totally unnecessary.
Is that glass of wine really bad for you?
There is voluminous evidence available showing that one “average size” glass of wine or beer daily has more health benefits than detriments. Of course, moderation is key, and for the best of health, I discourage more than these quantities.
Those drugs could cost 90% less
Dr. Wright’s been fighting for reimportation rights for years. And for a while there, it looked like we might get it. Once supported by Obama, the President now says no to reimportation. So does the FDA–but is anyone surprised?
