Kudzu is a Japanese vine that was planted in this country a century ago to prevent soil erosion. It’s done that … and much more. It now covers 10 million acres in the South. And it’s killing off native plants. That’s your history lesson for the day. I’m interested in kudzu as a natural...

When my homocysteine levels were a bit high a few years ago, Dr. Sears recommended folic acid to bring them down.

The Rig Veda, 3000 B.C., is a cosmological treatise that addresses not only the nature of life but also the foundations of health and causes of disease, including the three doshas—vata, pitta, and kapha—and the uses of...
Traditional chemotherapy treatments are usually horrible. Often, they are more painful than the cancer itself. Even worse, there is insufficient proof that they do any real good. Keeping you alive an extra six months while you lose your hair and get sicker and weaker is hardly worth doing. ETR’s publication, Total Health Breakthroughs, takes...
No discussion of the aging process would be complete without talking about DHEA, Total Health Breakthroughs’ Melanie Segala tells me.

Many years ago on SNL, Steve Martin did a bit about a new drug he was taking. “It’s fantastic!” he said. “Everybody should be taking it!” “What is it called?” someone asked him. “Pla-cee-bo,” was his reply. In 2003, Merck introduced a new drug called MK-869. It was designed to have a feel-good effect...

Most people use mostly their acquired knowledge and adopt a “take the bull by the horns” approach to tackle challenges and move up in the world.

Skin cancer and premature aging are serious effects of overexposure to the sun. But, as Total Health Breakthroughs Editor Melanie Segala points out, sunscreen is not the solution.

Regular exercise helps. But when I’m having trouble, I follow Dr. Sears’s advice. He says to take a melatonin...

Accuray has gotten a fair amount of attention from investors and from investment newsletters, in part because of the spectacular success of the “kind of similar” robotic medicine company Intuitive Surgical. I’ve owned shares of both companies in the past, but currently hold only Accuray shares, and at a signficant loss. Intuitive Surgical makes...

(You should wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, and get between those fingers.) Now new research from the University of California, Davis, has found that the primary chemicals in anti-bacterial soap — triclosan...
Let’s pretend that the diagram below belongs to you—that this is the shape of the all-important mindset that defines your general BrainMap Profile—and that it depicts how your brain thinks (even though it is only a sample of the many “maps” you’ll be getting). With the very first “map” served up by your online...
You want the secret to fat loss? Okay, but you’re not going to like it. It has nothing to do with green tea, acai berry juice, or the Master Cleanse. Instead, the secret to fat loss is a state of mind. And once you’re in that state of mind, you can’t fail. Here it...
The companies that manufacture aspirin convinced us that it should be taken every day to prevent heart attack. Well, guess what? They’re wrong. Big time.
