Getting laser surgery to fix your eyes is the last thing you want to do. We’ve told you plenty of times before about the horror stories that come from it.

You may also remember that we spilled the beans on Lasik eye surgery, when we talked to a former FDA chief about it. And how he told us that the FDA should never have approved it in the first place.

That story fired up at least one Lasik eye surgeon and kicked off a fiery debate between them. (If you didn’t see those articles, you can read both of them here.)

We’ve been telling you for years that drugs can do you more harm than good.

Now a huge study shows this is also true also for people with high blood pressure.

That’s because it shows that commonly used drugs for lowering blood pressure actually raise it.

But we do have some good news for you.

Another study shows that one safe, all-natural remedy effectively lowers blood pressure. And it does it in just three hours.

A new study shows that flu shots don’t work nearly as well as experts think they do.

Researchers now think they only work for about 60 percent of people. That makes them about 30 percent less effective than previously thought.

Newspapers have picked up on this finding and are saying flu shots aren’t effective enough.

You may have heard that the US Department of State (DOS) is taking action on the hazardous mercury that’s all around us. But not much action…

DOS has made its position clear on mercury at a public meeting led by Deputy Special Representative Dr. John Thompson.

He says the DOS will tackle mercury in amalgam fillings…but not anytime soon.

“There is enough evidence about this issue to phase it DOWN,” says Dr. Thompson. But he stresses that…”we don’t mean phase OUT.”

That phase down won’t begin until 2020 at the earliest…and possibly as late as 2030.

If you’re in pain you expect your doctor to give you something that’s going to help–not hurt–you. And while you know that most drugs have side effects…you expect the benefits to outweigh the risks.

Certainly that’s what drug makers will tell you.

“The benefits outweigh the risks…as long as a doctor is consulted,” says drug maker Novartis.

The Agency for Safety and Health has just pulled the popular sleeping drug Noctran off the French market. They’ve linked it to neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Officials say they’ve “reconsidered the risk / benefit of this drug and voted against it.” (i)

But the decision comes 23 years after the drug first went on sale. That’s 23 years of public neurological and psychiatric damage…while agency officials “reconsidered the risk.”

What’s in the drugs that you take? You may have done your research and know exactly what they’re composed of. You may even know how they’re likely to affect you.

But breaking news reveals that you can’t believe what you read on the labels. It’s anyone’s guess what threat these drugs may pose. That’s because the world’s leading drugs manufacturer is selling contaminated and ineffective drugs. And it’s been doing it with full knowledge for a decade.

A new civil and criminal lawsuit has blown the lid off its illegal operations – which date back to at least 2002.

U.S. Marshals seized bottles of elderberry juice at small winery. They snatched “probiotic” products from a longtime manufacturer, and invaded a nutritional supplement plant.

This kind of harassment has been going on since the 1990s, with federal agents sometimes wielding automatic weapons. The frequency is increasing. (There have been at least four raids in recent months.) And it’s all being done at taxpayers’ expense.

So what’s behind the FDA’s relentless crusade against the natural health industry? It appears they’re trying to keep you hooked on prescription drugs – so you can keep Big Pharma’s coffers full. It’s all about money.

Multiple sclerosis comes like a thief in the night and robs you of your quality of life. Your muscles weaken… and you lose coordination. You suffer from tremors and vision loss. And before you know it, you’re in a wheelchair, unable to tend to your daily needs.

About 300,000 Americans live with MS. Each year brings 10,000 new cases.

Doctors have been baffled for more than 30 years. Without knowing the cause of MS, the most they could do was prescribe drugs. Toxic drugs that could impair the immune system and do more harm than good.

There is a new danger to your health: electronic waste. It accumulates when we throw away cell phones, computers, and TVs.

They end up at recycling centers. Many are located in China and other faraway places. And when they’re dismantled, toxic heavy metals are released.

Researchers at Zhejiang University recently conducted a study. They exposed human lung cells to air samples from a local dismantling complex. They found significant damage in the cells. Damage that could lead to cancer. The results appeared in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
