Doctors didn’t test those claims either—but
a few independent research teams did. They found hormone drugs
were increasing the risk of cancer by an alarming amount!
Even though these early findings were published
in prestigious medical journals, doctors overlooked them because
they rarely take independent research seriously.
After 15 years of pressure, doctors finally launched
a large-scale study in 16,000 women. In short order, they issued
an announcement that stunned millions of women. The hormones and
treatment had caused so many extra cases of breast cancer,
stroke, blood clots, and heart attacks, that the study was
canceled 3 years early to protect the remaining participants.
Five months later, the federal government added estrogens to its
list of “known human carcinogens.”(1)
I wasn’t surprised. I’d been
warning about the dangers of hormone drugs since 1991 after thoroughly studying the early research.
But few women outside my ALTERNATIVES readership heard
the message, and took the steps I outlined to protect themselves...until
they saw it on TV. By then, it was too late for many.
But the story doesn’t end there. Despite the
study’s findings (which made front page news from coast
to coast), many doctors continue to recommend this hormone therapy
to their patients to this day!(2) Talk about info-lag!
More reversals and more
info-lag are on the way...
I know you want to believe that current health advice
is based on solid, irrefutable facts and up-to-the-moment insights.
Sorry. We doctors know that modern medicine is a patchwork quilt
of “working theories” waiting to be proven right or
wrong.

Could Die Waiting To Hear About These New Health Discoveries

I wish I could tell you it wasn’t so (and
perhaps one day it will be different). But medicine today is,
more or less, a huge experiment. And, unfortunately, the general
public is the guinea pig.
But don’t blame science. If facts
determined health policy in this country, widespread wellness
would be a slam-dunk. But many obstacles are preventing new discoveries
from reaching the public’s ears: Red tape. Medical politics.
Professional egos. Turf wars. Big money interests. All these factors
prevent you from hearing about new life-saving discoveries for
many years. As a result, the general public is still following
advice that is obsolete and ineffective without
even realizing it!
Unfortunately, the situation will get worse before
it gets better. Here’s why...
Medical knowledge is doubling every 5 years.
There’s a full-scale scientific revolution afoot. But a
log-jam of info-lag delays will prevent you from hearing about
these new health discoveries and corrections for many years—unless
you can find a way to get upstream of the jam-up.
I think I can help you with that—starting
here and now.
Recently I created a new series of Special
Reports explaining 7 startling medical about-faces that are sure
to come some time in the future, though because of info-lag we
can’t be sure when. In a moment, I’ll describe these
new flip-flops to you and tell how you can get your hands on a
free copy of all the Reports that interest you.
That’s right. The Reports (all of them)
are yours absolutely free just for trying an introductory
subscription to ALTERNATIVES, my monthly newsletter that
has a reputation for being “first on the scene” when
bona fide breakthroughs are being discovered—or
false notions are exposed—in health, nutrition, alternative
remedies, and modern medicine.
I don’t want to
be a guinea pig.
How about you?
Believe me, when my family’s health is at
stake, the last thing I want is a treatment that’s obsolete,
or some theory that’s unsubstantiated and potentially harmful.
I don’t think you do either.
Instead, I want the most current advice backed by
facts. And treatments that have the
best success and safety records. I don’t care if
it’s an herbal remedy, a vitamin treatment, a nutritional
therapy, or a wonder drug. Just tell me: “Does it really
work?” and “Is it safe?”—and
show me the scientific evidence.
That’s what my readers want, too. So for the
past 18 years, every issue of ALTERNATIVES has provided
that. I’m proud to say that no other health publication
has such a stellar track-record of separating the fakes from facts...unmasking
dangerous health notions…and being right and being
first with what’s truly new in the health world.
ALTERNATIVES has been first to report some of the biggest
breakthroughs in the health world. Additional new discoveries
on my desk right now will likely top the list and benefit my readers
immediately—without info-lag delay.
As a result, ALTERNATIVES readers often
get the news years before word reaches the general public.
Naturally, I’d love to have you as a subscriber.
And you’d be in good company. ALTERNATIVES readers
are among the savviest, best-informed, and I daresay, healthiest
people on the planet. (A large percentage of my readers are doctors
and health care professionals.)
My purpose for writing you today, however, is to
call your attention to 7 popular health notions that you should
resist like the dickens, because they are flawed and
dangerous.
Most people (doctors included) have yet to see the
facts about these now-obsolete health beliefs. They’re still
running with the herd, but that’s not very wise these days!
If that’s not your style, here are the facts
and how you can protect yourself—beginning on the next page... |
