They all failed and even caused worsening conditions with an occasional death during testing.
A few years ago Dr. Mary Newport's discovery of using coconut oil to reverse her husbands advanced Alzheimer's disease made a big splash in the alternative health media.
Some of this splash managed to wet a few pages of the mainstream media (MSM), and Dr...

It was later discovered that the woman had worn her disposable contact lenses for six months, without removing them once.
When 23-year-old undergraduate Lian Kao went in to see doctors about the trouble with her eyes, they were shocked to find that a variety of amoeba known as Acanthamoeba had gotten beneath her contact lenses and tunneled...

This high estrogen count is a leading contributor to many major health issues. Natural compounds help modulate estrogen metabolism in the body and maintain normal hormone balance.
Aging and high levels of physical, chemical and emotional stress are associated with the loss of progesterone in women and testosterone in men. Estrogen dominance is a common condition with chronic...

Officers in Durham, North Carolina, have found out they can create a legal pretext for a search after lying about calls to 911 emergency services that never really took place. Apparently, the tactic is legal, if you can believe that, and fairly common, according...

However, others have said that such a lifestyle can lead to a detrimental depletion of certain nutrients and as such, they advocate consumption of meat products.

Wells, July 20 2014 (NaturalNews) Once upon a time in America, about 10 to 15 years ago, there existed a gray area, better known as "conventional" between genetically modified, toxic food and the other end of the spectrum -- which is organic and truly natural. Yes, there are still some "conventional" farmers out there, but there's no way for the general consumer to know whether or not that conventional crop is loaded with toxins, since GMOs have no warning labels whatsoever in the USA.

These drugs come with a whole busload of side effects and warnings, including, according to the ASPCA ironically, increased anxiety.(1) Dogs who react to stress with aggression can even become more aggressive when they're on Xanax because the drug lowers their inhibitions.

Often, the very image elaborately displayed is really not what it appears to be. This couldn't be any truer than for decorative drinking glasses, which are often found loaded with alarming levels of lead and cadmium.

Drug and vaccine manufacturer Merck was caught red-handed by two of its own scientists faking vaccine efficacy data by spiking blood samples with animal antibodies.
