Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein®) – How It Can Help Memory, Cognition and its Brain Research
All you need To know about Magnesium Threonate
Sport supplement, creatine, hmb, bcaa, amino acid or vitamin mesure with powder. Sport nutrition concept.
Magnesium L-threonate (MgT) is a highly absorbable form of magnesium able to cross the blood-brain barrier and to easily force its way through cell membranes.

The FDA Is Cracking Down on Homeopathic Remedies
Gwyneth, watch out.
On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration announced plans to crack down on so-called “homeopathic remedies”—treatments that due to agency enforcement policy have managed to avoid regulatory oversight.
But no more, says the agency. Many of those products, it said in a statement, aren’t just herbal tea cures for a sore throat. They’re products being marketed as treatments for serious diseases—hope bottled up and sold to desperate people, without any sort of clinical evidence that they might actually work. Continue reading

Medical tyranny: Woman who rejected breast cancer diagnosis may still be forced undergo surgery without her consent
When a doctor suggests an operation that you don’t feel is necessary, you have the right to decide not to move forward with it – right? If you happen to have any sort of mental illness, it’s something that doctors could use to say you’re not in your right mind to make such decisions and then go ahead and do as they please regardless of your opinion.

Essiac Tea is a Cancer Cure Big Pharma Does Not Want You to Know About

Legal drugs kill more people than illegal ones
Research shows prescription drugs are the 3rd leading cause of death
According to Peter C. Gøtzsche, a Danish physician and medical researcher, prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.
Based on the findings that Gøtzsche studied, it is possible that “psychiatric drugs alone are also the third major killer,” and this is primarily due to antidepressants causing the deaths of many elderly people through falls. It is apparent that the system we have for “researching, approving, marketing and using drugs” is “totally broken.” Continue reading
Why Is An Appendectomy In The United States 10 Times More Expensive Than An Appendectomy In Mexico?
This is what can happen when you go to a socialized healthcare system. A lot of people out there believe that the United States has a free market healthcare system, but that is actually not true. The percentage of the population that receives government-subsidized healthcare is rapidly approaching 50 percent, and the healthcare industry may be the most heavily regulated sector of the entire U.S. economy. Every year the rules, red tape and regulations seem to get even worse, and every year health insurance premiums rise much faster than the overall rate of inflation. If we don’t start applying free market principles and start getting healthcare costs under control, our entire healthcare system could very easily implode. Continue reading
