Why Do U.S. Drugs Cost So Much? The Truth will Aggravate You.

A story in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) debunks the claim made by American pharmaceutical companies that they need to charge more for their products because they spend more on research and development than firms in the rest of the world.
In fact, the piece shows U.K. drug companies spend proportionately more on R&D than their U.S. counterparts, but British drug prices remain much lower than those in the United States.

The BMJ article argues convincingly that, in fact, American drug makers invest three times more money on advertising, marketing and administration than on research and could cut costs in those areas if they truly wished to.

The bottom line is, we, as consumers, are paying a high price for all of those clever ads which constantly guide and direct us to believe prescriptions are the answer to our ills.

Tree Bark Lowers Cholesterol and Strengthens Heart-pumping Activity

Tree bark? Sounds outrageous, but it's true. For hundreds of years, the bark of a specific tree found in India has been used to successfully treat heart conditions. It's considered a well-proven cure in that country. And, that's not surprising when you consider its amazing properties. For example, in one randomized placebo-controlled study, researchers found that the group taking this herb had decreases in their average LDL cholesterol levels by 25.6% after only 30 days.

Findings from other studies showed similar positive outcomes for this same herb (Guggle) in connection with atherosclerosis, angina and congestive heart failure. In fact, some doctors believe that the herb actually improves cardiac muscle functioning and improves the pumping activity of the heart.

The percentage of overweight children in the United States has tripled since 1980.

How to Avoid Diabetes, One of Today’s Major Health Challenges

Harvard researchers, who recently completed an 18-year study of more than 125,000 people, found that taking extra magnesium significantly reduces the risk of Type-2 diabetes. You should aim for at least 150 to 200 milligrams per day from supplements or -- even better -- from the foods you eat. Not surprisingly, processed foods are usually stripped of this nutrient. The foods highest in magnesium are leafy green vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds.

If you're fighting the threat of diabetes and high blood sugar, here is a proven solution.

Men: Are Your Estrogen Levels Stealing your Manhood?

As a man ages, his body's production of testosterone naturally decreases. As a result, low testosterone can increase your risk of chronic disease. It can also rob you of your strength and muscularity, your virility, and even your drive and ambition. And here's another slammer hitting most mature men. Not only do we have to contend with naturally declining testosterone levels, we are also affected by increasing levels of estrogen that feminize our bodies.

Because estrogen is a female hormone, the male body starts to become more feminine. A man's chest muscles begin to sag and look more like breasts. He gains fat around the middle and gets that "dough boy" appearance. His sex life can fall apart and his risk of prostate cancer can skyrocket.

It's not just testosterone, guys. Your estrogen level also plays a role in determining how much "manpower" you have. The higher your testosterone and the lower your estrogen, the more drive, ambition, muscularity and sexual energy you will have.

Here's an effective way to lower your estrogen...read entire article

New Findings About Fat Burning and Fish Oil

I've been urging you to add omega-3 fats to your diet for many reasons. You already know that they boost brainpower and help prevent heart disease. Now there's evidence that fish oil -- one of the best sources of omega-3s -- also helps you burn more fat.

Results of a University of Missouri study, published in the University's Journal of Exercise Physiology, show that taking fish oil before each meal significantly increases fat burning during exercise and leads to greater weight loss.

So, how much fish oil does the trick? Study participants took eight fish oil capsules throughout the day -- two with breakfast and three with lunch and dinner. Each capsule contained 300mg of EPA and 200mg of DHA, the active fatty acids in fish oil.

Take a look at our new superior quality Omega 3 fish oil, a pure, toxin-free source of Omega-3 oil. Two capsules provides you with 700mg of EPA and 500mg of DHA. Perhaps more important than its weight loss benefits are the many other health benefits listed below.

This is the finest, purest fish oil available anywhere.
