Astaxanthin: A Rising Star in Alzheimer's Prevention

By Dr. Mercola

'In the United States, someone develops Alzheimer's disease every 69 seconds, and by 2050 this is expected to increase to a new case every 33 seconds, according to the Alzheimer's Association's 2011 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figuresⁱ.

The disease is currently at epidemic proportions, with 5.4 million Americans—including one in eight people aged 65 and over—living with Alzheimer's disease.

By 2050, this is expected to jump to 16 million, and in the next 20 years it is projected that Alzheimer's will affect one in four Americans. If that comes to pass, it would then be more prevalent than obesity and diabetes is today!'

Why Many Vitamin Studies are Absolutely Worthless

 

'Does vitamin E naturally help protect against the effects of aging, or does it lead to liver damage and complications associated with lung cancer? Well, it depends on what the study authors want to tell you.

The synthetic version of vitamin E is a petrochemically derived analogue of natural vitamin E that is capable of disrupting the endocrine system, whereas the natural form of vitamin E is effective against aging, oxidative stress, and hundreds of other conditions. The truth of the matter is that many — if not most — of vitamin studies are completely worthless, as they use isolated synthetic vitamins or low quality multivitamin supplements loaded with toxic fillers and synthetic ingredients.'

Two Vitamin C Tablets Every Day Could Save 200,000 Lives Every Year

   

'Ascorbate Supplementation Reduces Heart Failure'

'New research has reported that risk of heart failure decreases with increasing blood levels of vitamin C [1]. Persons with the lowest plasma levels of ascorbate had the highest risk of heart failure, and persons with the highest levels of vitamin C had the lowest risk of heart failure.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) there are about 600,000 deaths from heart disease each year. [2] This is an enormous number. The definition of heart failure used by the study authors was on the basis of drugs prescribed, which would include all forms of heart disease that cause death. This agrees well with the CDC definition.'

The March to Regulate Vitamins: Bogus Study Claims Vitamin E Increases Prostate Cancer

'The growing threat of total control over our food is advanced through junk science. The latest is a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) piece that claims Vitamin E is linked to an increase in prostate cancer, even though the study’s flaw is blatant. The JAMA article, titled “Vitamin E and the Risk of Prostate Cancer“, concludes: Dietary supplementation with vitamin E significantly increased the risk of prostate cancer among healthy men.'

Big Pharma's dark magic turns vitamins into gold

 by Dr. Allen Spreen


'Did you know that Big Pharma has mastered the art of dark magic?
Yep. They've figured out how to turn a $7 vitamin into an outrageously expensive "prescription medicine" that you can only get with doctor's order. And it's a profitable hoax, earning hundreds of millions of dollars for the drug giant Abbott Labs. (And better yet, this is not Big Pharma's first stab at black magic. They've done it before...and that "prescription medicine" now rakes in billions of dollars each year.)'

The Perception of 'Science-Based Medicine' is a Ruse

By Dr. Mercola

'Is modern medicine actually "scientific"? The gold standard for modern medicine is the double-blind and placebo-controlled trial. But there are serious problems with these studies, unknown to most, but widely acknowledged by researchers.

Scientists can easily set up a study that shows a drug is effective for a very limited period of time. Most studies of drugs for psychiatric conditions last only six weeks. What happens after that? Do they still work? Do they start to cause terrible side effects?

The studies will not tell you.'

Reader's Digest is Big Pharma Shill

'More than half of America now takes nutritional supplements. Here's some of what the vitamin-taking public had to say to Reader's Digest about their anti-vitamin scaremongering:

"The more your readers digest the lies presented in "5 Vitamin Truths and Lies", the sicker they will become. But no need to fear because your sponsors, the pharmaceutical companies, provide the remedy: drugs and lots of them, which are readily available within the pages of your magazine. Seems to me a good return on their investment."

"I'm very disappointed to find out that a reputable publication such as yours would put out such a slanted and biased article about nutritional supplements. I grew up reading Reader's Digest, and used to enjoy it tremendously before it was apparently taken over by pharmaceutical ads. Then, the articles were pure and touched the heart. Now, it seems that they are biased and are only written to support Big Pharma".'
