I'm vehemently opposed to this all-too-common procedure the vast majority of conventional doctors regard as harmless. Why? Because evidence shows that it can cause subtle damage to the prenatal brain.

A couple of months ago (Daily Dose, 3/19), I wrote about a Swedish study which proved that frequent social interaction among men – friendships, golf outings, poker nights, etc. – correlated into a more than 50% reduction in heart disease among test subjects.

Nevertheless, if you know where to look, you can find proof to validate what I've already told you is true when it comes to nutrition – namely, that a low-fat diet high in vegetables and fruits doesn't help your healthy bottom line.

A California company has now begun offering pet lovers FULL-BLOWN CLONING of their deceased or ailing cats. The copied kitties even come with a money-back guarantee of health and resemblance.

You know the old maxim about laughter, right? That it's the best medicine? Well, I've long believed that within this old "wives tale" there lay embedded a kernel of truth. More like a golden nugget of truth.

But whatever you call the trend in medicine away from drugs and surgery and toward more holistic, natural treatments for disease and prevention, you just can't refute that it's growing.

The evidence is pretty compelling at first glance. The market for vegetarian foods in recent years has boomed – and with no end in sight.

I'm sure you all know how I feel about modern synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy for women – I think it's cancer causing, dementia-inducing chemical Roulette.

When I put my stethoscope away and started medical reporting, I set my goal to report the truth even if it was damaging to me personally. That’s why I started attacking fluoride 30 years ago and immunizations 25 years ago. Then came “asbestos is good” and a boon to mankind; “cholesterol is good” and an essential nutrient; and “DDT is good”-in fact so good that it may turn out to be a nutrient in itself; and on and on. It’s hard to report some of these “negative” things-they usually hurt your image and your “ratings.” It is a dirty job, but some darn fool has to do it. And the next item on this list definitely isn’t going to win me any popularity contests either. It’s a subject that millions don’t like to think about: abortion and its consequences.

For years now, we have been aware that British farmers were feeding animal parts to cows. We were horrified at the thought of it and were sure that WE don’t do that sort of thing here. But it seems that U.S. farmers have also been turning our cows into cannibals.
