The marketing people behind statin drugs are thinking fast. Their patents are dropping off one by one and that means sales are about to plunge.

Just one year ago, sales of Lipitor reached a heady $10.8 billion.

But that’s not going to happen this year. That’s because it’s the latest statin to lose its patent protection. And it was one of the last statins to be patented. Now Lipitor will have to compete against low-priced generic versions. And that means the days of $10.8 billion profits are over.

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.

We recently revealed the truth about erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs and how they eventually stop working. Now doctors have discovered one of the biggest causes behind ED…and it’s just further proof that conventional medicine causes serious side effects.

A new large-scale study shows that many medications can ruin a man’s sex life. And it says that the more drugs you take, the more likely you are to wind up with ED.

This study isn’t just talking about prescription drugs…it’s also talking about simple, over-the-counter medication. The researchers say doctors need to cut back on the medications they’re prescribing.

Radiologists are finally supporting what we’ve been saying for years…that mammograms don’t often work.

One expert radiologist just told the FDA’s mammography panel that mammograms miss breast cancer in at least 40 percent of women.

“Cancers are often not visible on the mammogram,” she says. “Educating patients about the risks and limits of mammography is imperative.”

She’s not the only expert saying mammograms don’t work. Findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine show that mammograms actually help less than 2 percent of women.

“Diet” versions of most foods are no better than the regular kind. Now, the latest research shows that diet soda is just as bad for you as regular soda.

We recently told you why diet soda makes you gain weight. But this new research isn’t just about your waistline this time. It’s literally about life and death. It shows that drinking diet soda massively increase your risk of stroke.

We’ve always promised to give you updates on our stories whenever they come about. Awhile back, we wrote an Undercover article about the problems with Lasik eye surgery. If you read it, you know that we were able to interview the chief man at the FDA who was in charge of approving Lasik devices.

His name is Dr. Morris Waxler…and he recently turned whistle blower on these devices. He says he was deceived into thinking the devices were safe…so he approved them for the public. But he says emerging evidence shows that these devices do more harm than good.

We discovered that Dr. Waxler isn’t the only one who has strong beliefs about these devices because we received loads of feedback from our readers.

Scientists are bringing evidence to light that proves what we’ve been telling you for years: drinking diet soda doesn’t help you lose weight. On the contrary, it will actually pack on pounds!

Two research MDs have just finished a huge study on 5,000 people that lasted for 10 years. It shows that people who drink diet soda gain five more pounds and two more inches on their waists than people who don’t.

“Diet soda drinkers experienced increases in their waist sizes that were 178 percent greater than non-drinkers,” Dr. Sharon Fowler told us.

There’s an ancient remedy that may be able to combat cancer.

It has almost a century of scientific research backing it up.

But chances are you’ve never heard of it.

That’s because the government has done everything it can to bury this all-natural formula, virtually banning the remedy and threatening to throw the “inventor” into prison!
