An Urgent Alert from Scott Saunders, M.D.:
If you or someone you love suffers from Pre-Diabetes, Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes ... read this now.
Dear Reader,
I'm livid.
As a Medical Doctor, I'm sick and tired of how people with high blood sugar, pre-diabletes or diabetes are being treated by the mainstream medical system.
That's why I'm going to turn the tables on the Big Drug Companies that sell $114 BILLION each year in Diabetes and blood sugar drugs.
It's no secret they would love to keep you buying their drugs...
I'm going to show you how to improve your blood sugar levels and gain relief from your problems -- without side effects associated with the prescription medication.
This story from Joanne says it all...
"I am the mother of 3 teenagers. I was diagnosed with diabetes and my doctor put me on the prescription drug Metformin® and then also on a statin drug. I had unbearable side effects. I got bad stomach cramps and felt ill. I became extremely tired (always), depressed and couldn't function on a day to day basis.
"I got your tips. It was the best thing I've ever done in my life. Ultimately, was able to move off drugs. It was so simple and straightforward, so easy. My sugar levels are down, and my energy level is up. I now go to the gym and have lost weight."
Amazing story, isn't it? Joanne's true story is just one from many people who have gained remarkable relief from their health problems.
How? If you have high blood sugar, pre-diabetes or diabetes, there is a proven clinical discovery that NO other doctor I know of will tell you about.
And I should know. I have treated thousands of patients since 1995, when I became an M.D., board certified in Family Medicine.
In my practice, I noticed the drugs I was prescribing were not helping people as much as they claimed they would , and OFTEN gave them bad side effects and MORE health problems that needed more drugs. This downward health spiral bothered me a lot .
In my opinion, the drugs I was prescribing were doing my patients more harm than good, but my "Medical Establishment" just kept recommending I prescribe these drugs, or every new drug that came out on the market .
My frustration led me to study other ways of helping patients, and I discovered that certain nutrients had studies showing they worked amazingly well, and with no side effects. I started telling my patients about these "natural wonders' ... and they worked great with no side effects!
My studies found that in America we spend more money per person on diabetes drugs and medical care than any other country in the world, and we still don't even rank in the top 15 countries for longevity.
I even left a huge hospital system (UCLA) to go off on my own so I can treat patients how I want to - almost totally drug-free.
Please ... don't let another M.D.'s ignorance or faulty "drugs first" Mainstream Medicine make you a victim of the American Diabetic Death March.
Doctors have a lot of incentive to prescribe prescription drugs. Period. End of story.
But I've discovered a much better, and 100% natural solution to help relieve your blood sugar related health problems - with NO drug side effects or continuous doctor visits.
It will surprise you ... It's ABSOLUTELY FREE so click here to watch the free, short, informative video now.
You'll discover so much in this video - much more than I could ever tell you here.
Fact is, this video is so jam-packed with useful information, we may just take it out of the FREE category and start charging for it - that is, if it's allowed to remain on the internet at all...
I am concerned that Big Pharma may soon shut down this video. I am certain they will hate that I put a dent in their money machine by showing good folks like you how to keep your hard earned money out of their hands ...
So make sure you click here now while you still can - it could mean the difference between living a healthy life free of drug induced side effects and being stuck taking medications that in my opinion your body doesn't want or even need..."cures" that are worse than the disease. In this video you will discover:
Diabetes will kill you ... if you let it!
You can greatly reduce your risk of suffering from serious vision problems, heart problems or even amputation.
And you don't have to rely on expensive, dangerous drugs, either!
Let me show you what I have shown my own patients, how to lower your blood sugar levels substantially and gain relief in under a month using safe, inexpensive natural home remedies.

Common Acid Reflux Disease Symptoms - Causes of Acid Reflux – Knowing the Primary Reason for Persistence
Common Acid Reflux Disease Symptoms.....
One of the most common acid reflux disease symptoms is heartburn. Relevantly, it is known as having a burning feeling in the stomach which radiates in the throat and chest area. Most of the time it occurs to people diagnosed with GERD when: they had heavy meal, lie down flat on their back, lift heavy objects, or bend over. Patients are most likely to suffer this symptom at night than in other time, it was also causing them greater pain when the attacks happen at night than in day time.
Although heartburn is the most common symptom, it is not the most dangerous since it doesn’t create any major damage to the esophagus lining. Aside from this, there are also other common symptoms such as dyspepsia and regurgitation.
Dyspepsia is a syndrome where there is a feeling of fullness in the stomach, upper quadrant pain, and nausea right after meal. It is possible though that people may suffer from dyspepsia even when they do not have GERD.
Regurgitation is a symptom of GERD which is characterized by a sensation of acid in the throat. There is a possibility of “wet burp” which is an occurrence when acid regurgitate as far as the mouth. It is on rare occasion though that sufferer vomit the acid.
Other than heartburn, dyspepsia and regurgitation, there are other less common symptoms that can be present in acid reflux disease and these are: chest pains and some throat conditions.
Chest pain is a feeling of having a food trapped on the breastbone. This is how a GERD chest pain feels like which is different from an angina or heart attack.
Throat conditions vary but are symptoms that are less likely to be experienced in GERD cases. Acid laryngitis is a condition which has presentation of hoarseness, a feeling of lump area in the throat, and dry cough. Dysphagia on the other hand means trouble in swallowing. This can cause spasm that causes the esophagus to narrow. Chronic sore throat and constant hiccups can also be considered as symptoms of GERD.
Some respiratory symptom such as coughing and wheezing can actually be caused by GERD. A study had shown that GERD can actually cause chronic cough in severe cases. Persistent nausea and vomiting can be attributed as a symptom of GERD.
Acid reflux disease symptoms vary from one case to another. Some may not suffer any common symptoms but would have evidence of some less common symptoms. It is very important to visit a specialist if there are constant occurrences of symptoms. This is to prevent worsening the situation, and give proper medication and diet and lifestyle modification to avoid recurrence of symptoms. It is easier to deal with GERD in its early stage.---------
Causes of Acid Reflux – Knowing the Primary Reason for Persistence
Acid reflux disease is known as a regurgitation of acid from the stomach to the esophagus which can later lead to inflammation of the organ (esophagitis). This kind of abnormal condition is caused by too much intake of fatty foods and a constant practice of taking a nap, bending down, or lifting objects after a meal. These are all common causes of acid reflux. On the other hand, the most common symptom is heartburn. This is described as a burning sensation which can be felt from the stomach and slowly radiates to the chest and throat. These may be the common causes and symptom, but the persistence of Gastroesophageal Regurgitation Disease (GERD) might be secondary to existing health conditions or abnormal structures of body organs. Here are some possibilities.
First is the malfunction of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter muscles, which can be caused by drugs’ adverse effect or nervous system problems. This smooth muscle is responsible of keeping the pressure by closing and opening appropriately to avoid contents to come back from the stomach. Once the muscles in these area would loosen, the tendency is to prevent the sphincter from closing completely thus allowing acid entrance from the stomach to the esophagus.
Second condition that can contribute to persistence of GERD is impaired stomach nerve or muscle function. Impairment in the stomach causes problem in making the muscle of the stomach function consistently and continuously. It delays emptying of food thus may cause acid to regurgitate to the esophagus.
Third is Hiatal hernia. This is a condition when the hiatus, a small hole in the diaphragm is weakened or was enlarged and causes protrusion in the stomach muscles. This is usually common to older people ages 60 and above. This kind of problem can impair the function of lower esophageal sphincter muscle function. This can therefore increase the possibility of aggravating acid reflux attacks.
Last is the possibility that abnormalities in the esophagus cause GERD persistent recurrence. Recent studies had shown that hoarseness of voice, a feeling of lump in the throat and chronic cough are related to problems arising in the esophagus and causes atypical Gastroesophageal reflux disease. These conditions are malfunction of esophagus peristalsis and the adult-ringed esophagus. The latter is an abnormality which the esophagus develops many rings in it, thus causing difficulty of swallowing food. This is common to male than in female.
There are certainly various causes of acid reflux, and the first important step of treatment is identifying the main cause. From this, you can start a proper care plan on how to prevent GERD symptoms. It is useless to keep treating acid reflux, when the real culprit behind is not known. Most of the time, there will be relief once the primary abnormal condition is diagnosed and treated.
Acid Reflux Symptom in Pregnant Women
Women are prone to suffer from acid reflux disease because of its exposure to stress and the practice of unhealthy lifestyle. These factors can contribute to the regurgitation of acid from the stomach to the esophagus thus causing acid reflux symptom.
Normally, the esophagus has a sphincter in the lower area which is in a form of a valve that connects the organ to the stomach. The valve have ample pressure to keep the acid away from reflux, but once it malfunction, acid can regurgitate to the esophagus at any time and can cause big trouble once left undiagnosed and untreated.
The stomach is lined with mucus which serves as protection from acid, but unluckily the esophagus does not have this lining, making it susceptible to damage once acid is constantly present in the area. It can really cause severe pain and discomfort.
Men and women are both susceptible to the disease; however women become more prone once they get pregnant because of the pressure exerted by the fetus to the lower esophageal sphincter. This allows acid to leak to the esophagus and causes some degree of damage. There is also increase in certain hormones which contributes to the weakening of the lower esophageal sphincter.
Most common symptoms would include:
First is heartburn. Once the acid gets into the esophagus, there is a feeling of burning somewhere in the chest. This is the most common symptom of acid reflux. There is a wide possibility that the burning sensation will radiate to the stomach and throat.
Second is the sour taste in the mouth and nausea. These symptoms occur in worst cases of the disease. This is the time when the reflux reaches the throat and mouth giving out sour taste. Nausea is felt by women who do not experience heartburn.
Last is difficulty in swallowing. This is one of the most alarming stages of Gastroesophageal Regurgitation Disease; it is when presence of acid causes the narrowing of esophagus. This can cause anorexia and may lead to malnutrition and other severe symptoms.
Acid reflux symptom is common to women who are bearing a child, but it disappears after child birth. For other people who are suffering from this condition regularly, they must be keen enough to visit their physician and seek for medical advice. Most often, the diet plan is modified to avoid recurrence of symptoms. There are also over-the-counter medications that can aid in fast relief of symptoms while there are also strong ones that effectively blocks acid production for a long time. A certain treatment will depend on your condition.
Worst Symptoms of Acid Reflux Disease
Acid reflux disease is a condition which is common to elder people, overweight, and those with unhealthy and stressful lifestyle. The symptoms of acid reflux disease at first serves as warning signs, but later on it aggravates to its severe form and would need intensive intervention.
Gastroesophageal Regurgitation Disease (GERD) is the severe form of acid reflux disorder, and this is manifested by heart burn, which can be felt due to the acid that comes back to the esophagus from the stomach. There are certain reasons why this is happening and one of this is the weakening of the esophageal sphincter muscle which can later on lead to esophageal cancer.
Common symptoms experienced by people suffering from GERD are:
- chest or stomach discomfort which can be described as a burning sensation.
- dyspepsia which happens after eating, bending down, or lying down flat.
- chest and stomach pain after consuming a large heavy meal or foods that are high in fat content and beverages with alcohol content.
- burping, this is known as a hallmark sign of acid reflux. There are also nausea and feeling of being bloat in the stomach.
- coughing, difficulty of breathing and swallowing can also appear on worst cases.
There are other serious symptoms of acid reflux disease which the person needs to seek immediate medical assistance. Severe GERD can lead to stricture of esophagus that results to difficulty in swallowing and spasm which can actually impede the breathing pattern. Continues regurgitation in the throat or mouth of beverages and food can be a sign of a dangerous stage of acid reflux. This can actually develop distaste to food, eroding enamel, and bad breath if left untreated. It can eventually lead to permanent digestive damage which later on develops to cancer.
Gastroesophageal Regurgitation Disease is a serious case that needs proper treatment. Although the less serious form of acid reflux disease would only require lifestyle and dietary modification, it is necessary to keep an eye on the symptoms and follow the regimen religiously. The symptoms may be simple at first but it can be a start of something worse. Once you feel the burning sensation which is known as heartburn, you need to consult your doctor immediately so that further test may be done and proper treatment may be given.
There are some diseases that have similar symptoms to GERD, this is one reason why to seek medical advice is necessary. Symptoms of acid reflux disease may be different from one person to another. The important thing is to be aware of these symptoms and act on its early stage. Do not wait until you have come to the point of no cure, and the sufferings are terrible enough to be relieved by any medications.
Diet for Acid Reflux – What and What’s not to Avoid
It is indeed a nuisance to suffer from a Gastroesphageal Regurgitation Disease. This kind of disease can cause heartburn especially when you eat foods that should be avoided. There is definitely certain diet for acid reflux which you need to take note in order to avoid any attacks or worsening of the symptoms.
First thing to do is prevent eating large meals a day. It is best to eat small but frequently. This will give your stomach all the time it needs to digest the food properly without producing too much acid. This lessens the workload it carries. In your meal plan, always include foods that have high carbohydrate content such as rice, pasta, multi-grain or white bread, bran, crackers, pretzels and many more. These rich in carbohydrate foods bind acid in the stomach and are lighter to work on. It is also necessary to remain in an upright position after eating. During sleep, it is also proper to elevate the head of the bed approximately six to eight inches when assuming a lying position.
Second thing to remember is to avoid meals that have high fat content. Examples of this are foods that are fried and oily. These should be avoided because foods that are fat containing are hard to digest, therefore the stomach would need more acid to digest them. It is also necessary to limit intake of beverages such as alcohol and sodas. They double up acid secretions in the stomach making you more susceptible to acid reflux disease. And above all do not eat too much, because this will trigger your stomach to secrete more acid to compensate on the digestion process.
Among the many foods and beverages to avoid and should only be consumed, there are also some beliefs that are wrong or proven null by research. One of these is the thought that a glass of milk before sleep can actually lessen GERD symptoms. The truth is milk can cause a rebound effect that can encourage secretion of more acid, therefore causing acid reflux. The key is to eat less during dinner and take a small snack like biscuits before retiring at night.
Another belief that had been practiced for years is that, spicy, citrus and caffeine containing beverages should be avoided in order to decrease acid reflux symptoms. According to the research made by Internal Medicine doctors of Stanford University, there are only two means of reducing symptoms, and these are elevating head of bed while asleep and eating small and frequent meal.
If you are suffering from this chronic condition, you have to update on your special diet for acid reflux list. Despite the fact that there are common foods, you also need to take note of the foods and beverages that can aggravate the symptoms.
It is good to have a food diary in order to keep track of the dos and don’ts. It will develop discipline and assurance that acid is produced in minimum at your stomach.

Castor Oil The Time-Revered Folk Remedy Why Doctors Agree This Good Health
*Did You Know...?
*Featured Article: Why Doctors Agree This is the #1 Factor for Good Health and Long Life *A Word from Our Sponsor: Take Up to 6 Inches off Your Belly in Just 10 Weeks Did You Know... ...that castor oil, the time-revered folk remedy, has been shown to shrink cysts and tumors ... curb alcoholism ... alleviate arthritis ... treat moles, warts and skin cancer ... and even grow hair?  Derived from castor beans (which aren't really beans at all but seeds from a tropical-looking, leafy plant), castor oil is an age-old remedy that has been in and out of the spotlight for thousands of years. The first recorded use dates back to the Ancient Egyptians, who used castor oil to promote long, lustrous locks, and to treat eye and skin irritations. Castor oil enjoyed a surge of popularity in medieval times, when Europeans used it as a topical skin lubricant to treat skin infections. Castor oil made its way back into the spotlight in the 20th century, when the "father of holistic medicine," Edgar Cayce, claimed that it helped restore lymphatic tissue in the small intestines, thereby boosting absorption of fatty acids and promoting tissue growth and repair. The versatile nature of castor oil is fully exploited in the 21st century. Castor oil is a popular ingredient used in cosmetics, printing ink, plastics, car and jet engine lubricants, antifungal treatments and modern drugs. Conventional medicine recommends castor oil as a laxative and an eye drop. Oncologists use castor oil to transport chemotherapy drugs to cancerous tumors, and obstetricians often use it to induce labor. It has amassed quite the credentials over the years, but it is mostly used as a...

Take Up to 6 Inches off Your Belly in Just 10 Weeks
No diets... no exercise... no pain... no sacrifice...
Suppose you could drop all of your unwanted fat ... without going to the gym or forcing yourself to eat rice cakes and tofu burgers? Dr. Al Sears, MD has a new clinical study on his desk that says it's possible. It may be the most successful weight loss compound ever tested. The people in the study lost an average of 28 pounds and 6 inches off their belly in only 10 weeks. And they didn't change their diet or exercise habits. Now you can start using this little known West African discovery to drop pounds—and lose inches—immediately!

 These high-carb foods—and many other innocent-looking foods—carry a dangerous secret. They become blood sugar just as rapidly as if you ate pure table sugar! Yes, they spike your blood sugar—even when they contain no sweeteners! Why should you care about this? Because serious problems are caused by excessive blood sugar. Diabetes and pre-diabetes are just the beginning. Out-of-Control Blood Sugar is Linked to Every Degenerative Disease on the Top 10 Killers List! Sugar is highly inflammatory and generates excessive free-radical activity. This is alarmingly harmful to your health because the inflammation oxidizes ("burns") your cells and tissues—and this is a major cause of disease and accelerated aging.  In addition, blood sugar problems can make you feel lousy ... sending you into a sluggish fog ... ruining your mood ... and making it nearly impossible to keep pounds off. By getting your blood sugar under control, you can reverse these problems and protect yourself from more serious health dangers. Until now, however, controlling blood sugar has proved an impossible challenge for many because ... sugar is hiding in the foods we consume every day. That's why the search for natural blood-sugar busters has intensified to meet the great need—in the U.S. alone, nearly 90 million people are concerned about their blood sugar! You don't have to be among them, thanks to remarkable new discoveries in nutritional and plant-based medicine. On every continent, researchers have identified natural substances that have the uncanny power to regulate blood sugar levels—without the dangerous side effects of drugs. It's now easier than ever—and more crucially important—to take action against the dangers of high blood sugar.
Cutting Back on Sweets is NOT Enough  Unfortunately, cutting back on sweet treats won't protect you. Sugars and sweeteners are lurking in many modern foods, even ones not thought of as "sweet." Even if you try to limit sugar-producing, high-carb foods as much as possible ... go on a strict diet ... or begin a rigorous exercise regimen ... these just aren't enough to neutralize the threat for some people. The good news is that certain plant compounds and minerals possess the ability to lower blood sugar in exactly the same way your body's insulin does.
The Blood-Sugar-Busting Mineral that Would "Make Headlines as a Wonder Drug" Among the most powerful natural blood-sugar busters is a mineral that one respected researcher says would "make headlines as a wonder drug" if  it were a medication. This mineral is chromium—and it helps your insulin burn fat ... aids in muscle-building ... and helps convert sugar into energy. Sugar consumption depletes chromium. And our natural chromium levels also decline with age, by up to 40%. So if you're struggling with your blood sugar, chromium can really help—especially if you make sure to get it in its most biologically active form, which is more absorbable by the body. Most Americans Are Mineral Deficient Minerals are essential for health, healing, and metabolic functions—but most Americans are deficient. Chromium is just one mineral needed for healthy blood sugar. Another trace mineral you should know about is vanadium. Vanadium acts just like insulin to remove excess glucose from your bloodstream and push it into your muscles and cells, and most of us just aren't getting enough vanadium from our diets. More Plant-Based Blood Sugar Busters Many plant-based substances can lower blood sugar as much or more than prescription drugs. It makes sense when you consider that most modern medicines were actually derived from plants and herbs! Nature's medicine chest is replete with astoundingly effective plant-based blood-sugar controllers. These substances can work in synergy to keep your blood sugar balanced and your body energetic and healthy. A few examples include:
If These are Such Powerful Sugar-Busters, Why Do You Need More than One? Plant substances often work better in combination than alone. This is especially true for normalizing blood sugar, because our blood sugar is metabolized along several biochemical "pathways." When potent plant substances are combined in the right form and proportions, they work synergistically along these multiple pathways for optimal glucose uptake. Working together in precise, scientifically proven ratios, these powerful nutraceuticals target blood sugar at every level so you can be sure you're covered.  The result is that you feel more energetic ... clearer ... more satisfied, with fewer food cravings. The synergy of plants in combination is the help your metabolism needs to remain stable and secure. No mood swings ... food cravings ... fatigue ... irritability ... jitteriness ... and nervous over-eating. You can step off the "blood sugar yo-yo" and enjoy the security and peace of mind that comes with stable, normal glucose levels. Click here to get the full details on the remarkable plant-based remedies that can help you reap the benefits of healthy blood sugar, which are the secret to long life. You can slow down your aging process ... have more energy ... less fatigue ... better concentration ... fewer food cravings ... brighter moods ... slower aging ... stronger immunity ... and safer free radical levels. You can also protect yourself from the dangerous degenerative diseases on the Top 10 Killer list—all of which are linked to sugar problems.

How Castor Oil Helps Reduce Pain, Shrink Tumors and Eliminate Warts The most common application of castor oil is as a castor pack. Castor packs cleanse and detoxify the liver, kidneys and intestines, thereby aiding digestion and soothing abdominal discomfort. Enhanced with  phytonutrients, castor oil penetrates deep into the lymphatic system, purging the intestines of harmful toxins. Because castor oil encourages lymphatic drainage, castor packs may help to shrink tumors and cysts when placed directly over or under the tumor. Castor oil boosts the immune system not only by eliminating toxins, but also by increasing immune cells, such as white blood cells, which help stave off infection. When placed on achy joints and muscles, castor packs reduce pain. Castor packs are also a popular treatment for alleviating cramps during menstruation. Its small molecular size enables it to penetrate deeply into the skin, cleansing and unclogging pores of excess oil, bacteria and makeup. When applied 2-3 times a day for several weeks, castor oil has also proven effective as a remedy for skin conditions such as sunspots, warts and moles. Jamaican Black Castor Oil for Regrowing Hair? Castor oil's moisturizing properties make it a wonderful hot oil treatment.  It repairs hair, delivering essential nutrients and minerals to the scalp, and dissolving sebum, bacteria and built-up chemicals. A particular type of castor oil, Jamaican Black Castor Oil, has been shown to help re-grow hair by stimulating the production of keratin. Regular use encourages stronger hair that is less prone to split ends and chemical damage. The Myth Surrounding Castor Oil Toxicity Despite thousands of years of safe and effective use—as well as approval from health organizations such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—castor oil's reputation has come under attack. There is a myth being propagated that castor oil is toxic and should not be ingested internally or topically. Castor oil owes its effectiveness to its main constituent, a rare omega-9 fatty acid called ricinoleic acid. Ricinoleic acid is not to be confused with ricin, a toxin made from a protein in castor seeds that, if ingested or inhaled, is fatal. In fact, the FBI cites ricin as one of the top 3 chemical warfare agents. While castor beans can be lethal if ingested, castor oil itself is not poisonous. According to the International Journal of Toxicology's Final Report on Castor Oil, castor oil isn't contaminated by ricin, because ricin does not "partition" into the castor oil. Interestingly, preliminary research has shown that when combined with antibodies, ricin may actually shrink tumors in lymphoma patients. Don't believe the myth: The FDA, the WHO and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) all verify castor oil's safety and effectiveness.
