Welcome to The Healthier Life.... where good health comes naturally!
Welcome to the web's leading natural and alternative health resource! Our pioneering experts report the latest breakthroughs in natural medicine often years before you'll ever hear about them in the mainstream media.
Diabetes Sufferers Are Victims Of A Booming Industry
Back in 2010, when Victoza (liraglutide), a new type 2 diabetes drug, was approved by medical authorities, we warned our readers about the safety risks of taking this drug. In several animal studies, Victoza caused thyroid tumours. In human studies, many patients developed pancreatitis — a dangerous inflammation.
Jury Is Still Out On HRT Safety
Synthetic HRT has always had two sides. On one side, women take a combination of oestrogen and progestin. The progestin is necessary to prevent uterine cancer. As red flags go, that's a huge tip off that serious dangers lurk. On the other side, women who have had hysterectomies take only oestrogen. Researchers once believed that HRT dangers were slight for these women. But in 2010, five or more years of oestrogen use was associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Now we know the danger is much greater.
How Long Must Women Wait Before This Unsafe Test Is Abolished?
Think of the billions we spend on healthcare every year. Now imagine cutting out nearly one-third of that total. That's what would happen if we discontinued all unnecessary medical screenings (including most mammograms!). But more importantly, this would also reduce considerable worry and physical pain of patients.
Could soy help lower your blood pressure?
In a world of lactose-and-dairy-intolerance, what do you do to still get your early morning caffeine fix? Do you go black or do you go soy? If you read this recent headline, "Compound in Soy Products May Help Lower Blood Pressure", then you might think that going with the soy option would be a good thing. I know I did... at first.
Doctors Question Current Medical Guidelines
It seems that it all comes down to guidelines... some in the mainstream follow them, others invent their own and some have decided to ignore them altogether! I cannot help but wonder why they even bother to lay down guidelines in the first place, when clearly some doctors and scientists believe they have free reign to make up their own rules as they go along... while many patients' lives are being put at risk.
Call To Ban BPA From Food Containers Is Ignored
Three years ago, a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) study linked high BPA urinary levels to increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Then, in another JAMA study published last year, subjects who ate freshly made soup every day for five days had an average BPA level of 1.1 micrograms per litre of urine. Average BPA in subjects who ate soup from cans was an astounding 20.8 micrograms per litre! Recently, the Natural Resources Defence Council petitioned the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban the use of BPA in any container where food makes contact with the chemical.
Curing Diabetes With a Scalpel!
That's an extremely strict diet. And it's one most people can't stick to. Apart from the fact that it is very unhealthy because the daily recommended calorie intake, when following a healthy balanced diet, is 2000 calories for women and 2500 for men. That's why researchers are starting to turn to surgery. In two new studies, researchers tested three types of surgery that actually change the size and shape of the stomach. (You probably know it as gastric bypass surgery.) All three forms were successful in getting diabetes patients into remission.
