For Part 1 click here For Part 2 click here Today's article is the third in a series of three intended to expose the truth about the cause of heart disease and the American Heart Association's role in hiding the truth from the American public, meaning doctors, patients, and everyone else. I hope this story convinces you that the AHA does not have your best interests at heart and that if you are interested in avoiding heart attacks and strokes, the last place you should turn to for advice is the AHA. I also hope that doctors who now follow…
For Part One, Click HERE This is the second in a series of three articles that explode the myth that cholesterol is the cause of heart disease. Today's article will cover a dark period in scientific history that forever changed the course of human health and our relationship with food.

Nevertheless, when asked whether or not I'm a Paleo gal, I've always struggled to respond with full confidence. Am I Paleo? Turns…
Tiger Woods recently had a single car accident--a nasty one. Reports say he was out for as long as six minutes when his wife found him. When a doctor hears that a patient has suffered a brain injury severe enough to alter consciousness, they get concerned. Loosing consciousness altogether suggests a significant insult to the brain. With an injury like that, I would tell a patient to expect between six weeks and six months of after effects, including headaches, irritability, and concentration deficits.
