“The noblest foundation for medicine is love. It is love that teaches us the art of healing. Without love true healing can never be born.” – Paracelsus

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy, which most often includes vitamins, minerals, and sometimes botanical isolates has become very popular these days. IV vitamin C and cancer is a big topic in the world today. In very specific circumstances IV vitamin therapy can be excellent for people who have digestive disorders that prevent proper absorption of nutrients; however, don’t be fooled into thinking that this is an all-natural holistic medicine. It is extremely invasive, and at the massive pharmacological doses used, I don’t believe it’s good for you. We need to get back to gentle nourishing medicine that supports innate healing in a more unitive way.

A Bogus Study Makes False Claims About Statins Versus Supplements

Statins for Lowering Heart Disease: A Bogus Study Fuels False Claims

Do statins for lowering heart disease work? The headlines recently announced that low doses of statins reduce the risk of heart disease, while supplements do nothing.

Let’s take a closer look.

It’s important to reduce medication prescriptions for older adults (and everyone else). Why do we want to reduce medication prescriptions? Because prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in the United States and Europe. Only heart disease and cancer cause more death.

In 2014 Peter Gøtzsche, a medical doctor and internationally known researcher and book author, wrote an article, called “Our prescription drugs kill us in large numbers.” In some ways his work is more relevant today than when he first wrote it. As Dr. Gøtzsche points out:

50% of those who die have taken their drugs correctly. The other half die because of human error, such as too high a dose or use of a drug despite contraindications.
