A New Inexpensive, Accurate, Breast Cancer Test You Can Do at Home

A few months ago, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force announced new recommendations for mammograms. They based their recommendations on a re-evaluation of the tests’ risks vs. its benefits. These guidelines said that mammograms for women under 40 are unnecessary. They also said breast self-exams have no value in preventing mortality.

As you may have heard, these recommendations set off a firestorm of controversy. In the firestorm, people called mammograms everything from “lifesaving” to “cancer-promoting.” I’m sure they’ve done both.

Exciting News That Can Save Your Brain … and Your Life

This month, I was planning to tell you about a simple device you can use in the comfort of your home that helps detect tiny breast cancers. It’s an important and inexpensive method to add to your current breast screening regime.

It can save both your life and your brain.

What I found is a newer, safer, more effective way to lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and dementia. It sounded good when I first researched it, but the degree to which this therapy works is simply astounding. I’m telling everyone I know about it, and I wanted to share my findings with you immediately.

The Fat That Kills Viruses — Even Works on Herpes and AIDS

When I was a young nutritionist 30 years ago, I heard about a nutritional supplement that destroyed the cytomegalovirus (CMV). This was a huge discovery for me, because few medical doctors — even those who practiced integrative medicine — had any solutions for CMV.

CMV is a member of the herpes virus family. It’s an extremely common virus that most people get. Then it becomes inactive. But not in everyone. Someone who is immunocompromised could die from CMV. This includes people with cancer. Or AIDS.
