Vitamin D can cut the risk of a second heart attack in half. A personalized dosing strategy was the key to the breakthrough. Researchers tailored doses to achieve specific blood level targets. More than half of patients needed a high dose of 5,000 IU daily….
Story at-a-glance Chronic low back pain is the leading cause of disability in older adults and often limits daily movement and independence Many treatments exist but do not always provide lasting relief and can have side effects or risks Acupuncture has been used for centuries…
Our bodies are evolutionarily wired to defend a certain weight level, treating weight loss as a threat to survival. The brain establishes a ‘set point’ weight range and deploys hormonal and metabolic defenses to maintain it. Weight loss triggers hormonal changes that increase hunger and…
Story at-a-glance Sleep is not just downtime but a built-in survival mechanism that protects your brain from toxic byproducts created when mitochondria leak electrons New research shows that the more electrons your cells fail to use, the greater the buildup of reactive oxygen species, which…
Refined carbohydrates like white bread, pasta and many breakfast cereals can spike blood sugar as dramatically as sugary sweets. The Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) are tools to understand how different foods affect blood sugar levels. Food sequencing—eating fiber-rich vegetables and proteins before…
Story at-a-glance A major clinical trial in The Lancet Psychiatry found that boosting dopamine with pramipexole improved symptoms in treatment-resistant depression. This challenges the long-dominant serotonin deficiency theory Supporting those findings, another study showed that agomelatine, a serotonin-blocking drug, consistently reduced anxiety and depression in…
Fruits provide natural sugars that satisfy sweet cravings while delivering fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and polyphenols, making them a healthier alternative to processed, sugar-laden foods. The fiber in fruits helps keep you full, aids in weight management, promotes regular bowel movements and supports overall digestive…
Story at-a-glance Everyday exposure to pesticides, even from conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, disrupts sperm function and reduces fertility in otherwise healthy men Researchers found that higher levels of pesticide residues in urine were linked to slower, less motile sperm, showing that even non-occupational exposure…
Parkinson’s disease is largely a preventable illness driven by human-made environmental toxicants, according to a landmark scientific review. The focus must shift from searching for a cure to eliminating the primary causes. Three key classes of environmental toxicants are identified as major contributors: specific pesticides…
Teva Pharmaceuticals recalled over 580,000 bottles of prazosin, a blood pressure and PTSD medication, due to contamination with cancer-causing nitrosamines. A 2025 study found generic drugs manufactured in India had 54.3 percent more serious adverse events than those made in advanced economies. The FDA inspects…

The very medical interventions we are told are essential for protecting our children are instead fueling a silent epidemic of chronic disease and neurological damage. For decades, parents who questioned the increasingly crowded vaccine schedule were dismissed as conspiracy theorists, but a series of new,…
Story at-a-glance Ticagrelor, a blockbuster anticlotting drug, was approved despite FDA scientists warning it looked less safe and effective than older, cheaper alternatives like clopidogrel The landmark PLATO trial used to secure approval showed U.S. patients had worse outcomes on ticagrelor, yet those results were…
Resistance training can improve your gut microbiome. High strength gains correlate with beneficial gut bacteria changes. These bacteria produce butyrate, which protects the gut lining. A healthy gut lining prevents inflammation and chronic issues. This highlights a natural, non-pharmaceutical path to better health. A remarkable…
Story at-a-glance Low potassium intake is strongly linked to higher rates of depression and anxiety, making this mineral a key factor in protecting your mental health Large-scale studies from Korea, the U.S., and China all show that people who consume more potassium experience greater emotional…
MCT oil is a concentrated source of healthy fats (medium-chain triglycerides) that your body can absorb and convert into energy much more easily than other types of fats. It provides a quick, steady and clean source of energy without the crash associated with processed sugar….
A new study exposes how pesticide-laden foods are building up toxins in our bodies—just as Congress considers a measure that would lock in outdated science and shield Big Ag from accountability. Tell Congress to reject pesticide immunity now! Action Alert! THE TOPLINE A new study from…
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in disinfectants and organophosphate flame retardants in furniture harm oligodendrocytes—cells crucial for myelin production—leading to cognitive deficits, motor impairments and neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis. Flame retardant metabolites were found in 100 percent of children tested, with higher exposure linked to…
Stress raises blood sugar levels by releasing hormones like cortisol and activating a brain-liver pathway that tells your body to release more glucose. Over time, this can worsen insulin resistance, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and its complications. Even if you don’t have…
For more than four decades, beta-blockers have been prescribed to nearly every heart attack survivor as standard therapy. This drug class, designed to slow heart rate and reduce strain on the heart, was long assumed to improve survival. Yet new evidence published in The New England…
