Are all the weapons against cancer being employed?
07-03-2016 by Bill Sardi
Answer: well, not if they are natural molecules that don’t generate billions of dollars of revenues.
Inflammation is known as the fuel that feeds cancer. NF-kappa B is a protein complex in the body associated with inflammation. NF-kappa B has long been considered the “holy grail” as a target for new anti-inflammatory drugs. NF-kappa B controls more than 500 genes. NF kappa B is activated in cases of asthma, arthritis, atherosclerosis, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, obesity, heart disease, allergies, to name a few.

Butter does not increase the risk for heart disease. [Tech Times; PLoS One] This 180-degree turn in dietary advice does not emanate from a new discovery but actually was gleaned from analyses of prior studies that date back over a decade, which says nobody cared to tell the public till now. Science contrary to dietary dogma just isn’t being reported.
Another recently published report indicates millions of people may be needlessly taking statin drugs every day and “blanket” prescriptions for adults at risk for mortal heart attacks are not warranted. In yet another massive scientific U-turn, one report even found 92% of people with elevated cholesterol actually lived longer! [Telegraph UK; BMJ Open] The British Medical Journal report is also a retrospective review of prior studies dating back over two decades. Modern medicine has been misleading the public for a long time now.

Gluten-free
06-20-2016 by Bill Sardi
Gluten-free foods are now a billion-dollar business. All for the fact bread makers, attempting to compete on price, don’t allow their dough to rise overnight. Dough to make Wonder Bread is only allowed to rise for 45 minutes. [USA TODAY] While a third of Americans are currently avoiding gluten, only 6% have gluten sensitivity and just 1% has celiac disease (lack an intact mucus barrier in the small bowel). [Business Insider] While some people do experience inflammation and discomfort when eating gluten in bread and foods with grains, if you think you are gluten sensitive you might want to read my report showing the real culprit is lack of vitamin C. The symptoms of celiac disease overlap those of vitamin C deficiency. [Knowledge of Health]

How Long Will You Live?
06-20-2016 by Bill Sardi
How many more years do you have left to live? While there is no Ouija board to tell you the date of your demise, an online tool is now available that provides you with odds that you will die in the next six years. It is the SITTING-RISING TEST, which assesses your ability to sit down on the floor and stand up again without holding onto anything. Perfect score is 10. Few people will attain that score; 1 point is subtracted each time a hand or knee is used for support and a half-point for loss of balance. A score of less than 8 doubles the risk of death within the next six years; a score of 3 or less increases death risk by 5 times over the same six-year period. You can click here to take the test yourself. [SITTING/BALANCE TEST]

Is the world overpopulated and are you contributing to the problem?
06-19-2016 by Bill Sardi
Short answer: no.
Some people are concerned about dying too late, which could exhaust their financial resources, while other longevity seekers hope to extend their healthspan and lifespan by a couple of decades or more.

Is there any gold in Fort Knox?
06-19-2016 by Bill Sardi
Well, probably very little if any. The missing gold from Ft. Knox is not a conspiracy. Most likely the gold is hidden in some underground bunker. After all, Ft. Knox would be a prime target should some foreign enemy want to target the U.S. with missiles.
