I discovered this doctor who offers great medical advice concerning a variety of health related issues.   His name is Dr. Russell Blaylock.  Don’t be deterred by his unconventional practices.   He believes that good nutrition and healthy living can do a lot to waylay, and sometimes even prevent, the activation of genetic switches, that are linked to the most dreaded diseases of aging.  Learn more about what he has to say about the following issues:

Many heart attacks can be prevented. Vitamin and mineral deficiency will contribute to coronary disease. Dr. Blaylock says heart attacks can be as easy as simply dietary changes. Some vegetable oils are not good for you.  Learn more about preventing heart attacks today.

There is a miracle fat that can help prevent heart disease, reduce the risk of strokes and cure depression. It’s called Omega-3 fatty acids This fat, which was once abundant in the western diet, is lacking today.  Find out more about what omega-3 can do for your health.

Every time you go for a flu shot or send your kids for a series of vaccinations, you open yourself and your loved ones to potential health dangers, warns Dr. Blaylock. Autism is a risk for those who take mercury based vaccines.

Experts estimate that an astounding 25% of the U.S. population suffers from this potentially deadly combination of Type-2 diabetes, hypertension and blood lipid abnormalities.

High blood pressure causes kidney failure, vision loss, aneurysms, heart failure…many serious diseases are related to this epidemic blood pressure disorder. And here’s the worst news of all: at least 3 in 10 people who have hypertension don’t even know it!

Dr. Russell Blaylock explodes the myths that dietary cholesterol causes hardening of the arteries and that only drugs such as statins can prevent heart attacks and strokes by lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. Get the facts about cholesterol here.
