Stewart Cameron obituary
Leading British nephrologist who founded an internationally renowned kidney unit at Guy ’s hospital in LondonAs a bright young doctor at Guy ’s hospital in London in the 1960s, Stewart Cameron, who has died aged 89, was determined to be both clinician and researcher, but where should he focus his talents?

60% Of Sun Screens Would Fail Federal Safety Tests!
Here in South Florida, spring break is in full swing.
Temperatures are in the mid-to-high-80s, and tourists are flocking to our beautiful, sunny beaches.
Of course, that also means it’s prime time for sunscreen companies to kick up their marketing efforts in an attempt to whip up more fear over the sun.
They want to scare you into thinking that each time the sun strikes your unprotected skin, you risk malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
If you’re a regular reader, you know that I’ve been vocal about Big Retail’s money grab and how they put out misinformation because they profit each time you slat...

How To Avoid China ’ s Medicine Monopoly
I want to share a shocking statistic with you…
Around 80% of all the pharmaceuticals sold in America — both prescription and over-the-counter — are manufactured in China.
I’m talking about drugs for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, blood pressure and blood thinners, diuretics, aspirin, antibiotics, and a big chunk of the world’s insulin and diabetes drugs — just to name a few.1
We don’t even make penicillin anymore. The last penicillin plant in the U.S. closed its doors in 2004.
Americans who rely on medicine are now almost entirely at the mercy of a country whose relations with the U.S. have become more ...

Look for wild-harvested cordyceps from Tibet
When choosing a supplement, always check the source. Some Cordyceps supplements come from harvested sources that are 50 times weaker than natural, wild sources.
As a supplement, I recommend wild Cordyceps from Tibet. Take 2 to 5 grams twice daily for best results.
You can also brew a cup of Cordyceps tea. I add peppermint to enhance the flavor. Here’s a simple recipe I use:
Boil 2 cups of filtered water in a small saucepan.
Add one gram of dried cordyceps to water. Boil vigorously for one minute.
Turn down the heat and simme...

Antibiotics Destroy Memories?
Even in my earliest days of practicing medicine, I was never a big fan of prescribing antibiotics – except, of course, in cases of extreme or life-threatening infections.
Because even back then, I was concerned about the damage these drugs could cause to your gut.
That’s because trillions of microscopic bacteria – some that protect against certain diseases and some that can cause disease – live in your microbiome and exist in a delicate balance with each other.
The problem is that antibiotics can’t distinguish between so-called “good” bacteria and the “bad” ones causing the infection.
These drugs kill eve...

That’s the terrifying conclusion of a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.1
