 | 12/14/2007 - Vaccination no longer makes any sense. Or did it ever? The much-acclaimed benefits of the latest vaccine against Hib meningitis also seem to be unfounded. In a pro-vaccine study published in 1993 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the children in the control group who didn't receive...
|
 | 8/29/2007 - The headline for this story is not a typo. The push to sell more vaccines and pharmaceuticals has now reached a level of absurdity that should astonish any intelligent person.

|
 | 6/15/2007 - The idea that sunscreen prevents cancer is a myth. It's a myth promoted by a profit-seeking tag-team effort between the cancer industry and the sunscreen industry.

|
 | 6/22/2006 - Let's get to the raw truth about the pharmaceutical industry. Drug companies want to turn every normal human experience into a diagnosable disease that's treatable with their high-priced, patent-protected, brand-name drugs. It used to be that drugs were intended just to treat bonafide diseases -- things...
|
 | 5/3/2006 - Which drug would you rather take? One that reduces your risk of cancer by 50 percent, or another drug that only eliminates cancer in one out of 100 people?

|
 | 4/25/2006 - Do you realize that one of the most powerful cures for cancer is streaming over our heads each and every day, free of charge?

|
 | 4/21/2006 - Conventional medicine, as practiced today, is actually pretend medicine. Doctors and drug companies pretend to make patients healthier by giving them drugs.

|
 | 6/15/2005 - Researchers in Australia have discovered that exposure to natural sunlight reduces the incidence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).

|
 | 5/19/2005 - A recent study published in the medical journal "The Lancet" reveals that as many as 140,000 heart attacks, in the United States alone, were caused by Vioxx, and 44 percent of those likely died from those heart attacks.

|
 | 5/18/2005 - Scientists are baffled by the results of a study published in the Feb. 2, 2005 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. In this study, we learn that exposure to sunlight actually reduces the risk of skin cancer.

|
 | 4/28/2005 - One common misconception about nutrition is thinking you only have to take one multivitamin a day, and then you're set.

|
 | 4/23/2005 - A new study published in the journal Cancer reveals that men who are undergoing treatment for prostate cancer are often underdiagnosed for their risk of osteoporosis.

|
 | 12/10/2004 - There is a curious tendency in conventional medicine to name a set of symptoms a disease.

|
| 10/13/2004 - This is part 2 of a 2-part article series on reducing high cholesterol.

|
| 10/12/2004 - A reader asks: In regards to your recommendation to avoid all prescription drugs, what about situations where people are in an accident, or an athlete tears his knee up? Do you recommend pain medication then, or do you recommend going to the doctor and being treated?
Thanks for asking. I want to...
|
| 10/11/2004 - Mike: I'd like you to elaborate a little more on asthma, and the idea that the body is managing its water supply deliberately in a way that produces symptoms that are called asthma.
Dr. B: Yes, well you see, drought management means that you have to clog the holes where water is lost from the body....
|
| 10/11/2004 - Mike: Let me start this next section by asking you about the correlation between water consumption and chronic disease. There are many diseases you mention in your books that are related to dehydration. I wonder if you can give our readers a brief of what the major diseases are and why they are aggravated...
|
| 10/11/2004 - Dr. B.: The human body also has its emergency calls for water. These are localized emergency calls. We call these heartburn, rheumatoid joint pain, back pain, migraine headaches, colitis pain, fibromyalgiac pain, even angina pain -- signs of dehydration in the body.
And the mechanism is very simple...
|
| 10/11/2004 - Mike: I'd like to you talk about how people can know when they need to drink water, because you talk about in the book how some of the signs of dehydration, the classic signs are not necessarily the only signs, and also how much should an average person be drinking?
Dr. B: First and foremost, don't...
|
| 10/11/2004 - Dr. B: Another false science is the question of cholesterol. Cholesterol is one of the most essential elements in the survival of the human body. When the body begins to make more cholesterol, it has a reason to do that. It is certainly not to block the arteries of the heart, because we measure the...
|
| 10/11/2004 - Mike: For the pharmaceutical industry, the existence of disease is a business question, because let's face it, the pharmaceutical industry is a for-profit industry. Profits are always first, and at least it's my belief, and it seems that you share it, that any therapy that competes with those profits...
|
| 8/19/2004 - Groundbreaking new research has just been revealed that establishes the validity of homeopathy.

This is ground-breaking new research on cancer because it shows...
|
| 7/25/2004 - One thing I love about this world is the diversity of opinions. After all, if we all agreed on everything, the world would be unbearably boring. Every once in a while, however, I come across opinions and beliefs that strike me as bizarre, and the latest is the growing belief by a band of people I call...
|
| 7/22/2004 - Stroke patients have long been told to take a daily aspirin to "thin their blood" and help prevent strokes.

|
| 7/21/2004 - It only took 38 years for the American Medical Association, old-school doctors and conservative medical authorities to admit that vitamin supplements are, in fact, necessary for optimum health. That's not bad: four decades is moving pretty fast for these slow-thinkers. Year after year, they were shutting...
|
| 7/6/2004 - The hype about statin drugs is relentless these days. Physicians are urging patients to take statins even when they don't have high cholesterol. The American Diabetes Association, for its part, ridiculously suggests that all diabetic patients should be on statins just in case scientists one day discover...
|
| 7/6/2004 - New research conducted in the UK reveals that cough syrup is medically useless. In the study, children given medicated cough syrup fared no better than those just given plain corn syrup.

|
| 7/6/2004 - The old school doctors are going crazy over a new report suggesting that people need to be getting more sunlight, not less, in order to prevent chronic disease.

|
| 7/5/2004 - I've been saying this for years. Now the research is finally coming out to prove it: sunscreen use actually causes cancer, according to comprehensive new research published in the U.K. There are two primary reasons why sunscreen causes cancer. First, and most importantly, the use of sunscreen blocks...
|
| 7/5/2004 - Warning people to stay away from natural sunshine is doing far more harm than good, says a new report by the U.K.-based Health Research Forum.

|
| 7/1/2004 - The mass media hype about statins has reached stratospheric proportions.

|
| 11/23/2003 8:18:25 PM - Mammograms are one of the great myths of modern medicine: they're extremely unreliable and give false positives, especially in the U.S. where intepretation standards vary widely.

|
| 11/18/2003 10:27:50 AM - The great search for the genes that cause cancer continues... yet researchers are looking in the wrong place. Genes don't cause cancer: food and exercise choices do.

|
| 11/18/2003 9:31:52 AM - Medical journals are highly corrupt: they only print "science" that agrees with the belief systems of the top editors.
