The great herb heist

Dear William,
For
a long time, I've been warning you that the big box stores are being
less than honest with you when it comes to supplements. In fact, it
appears they want to rip you off.
Investigators
in New York State have discovered that the merchandising giants, riding
high on the health-and-wellness wave, have been overcharging customers
for cut-rate herbs, vitamins, minerals and other supplements.
You may have read about it or heard it on the news. But it's even worse than I previously thought.
I
started out warning you to stay away from synthetic multi-vitamins that
require 400 times the recommended dose to do you any good.1 The big box stores are in the habit of buying the cheapest products possible so they can make the biggest profits possible.
And that means they end up with capsules of manmade Franken-vitamins that customers buy in good faith to improve their health.
As I have been saying for years… they don't improve your health!
Some of these manmade monstrosities have even been chemically conjured out of coal tar, a known carcinogen.2
Technically,
these vitamins have the same molecular structure as the natural
vitamins. But your body can't absorb them properly, so they pass right
through your system without doing any good – or perhaps even doing harm
along the way.
So they are not just pointlessly taking your money, they might also be robbing you of your health.
Vitamins
from truly natural sources, usually plants, come with trace minerals,
enzymes and other biochemicals. All of these help them work better with
your biology.
For example, the natural form of vitamin E has a significantly higher anti-oxidant effect than the synthetic form.3,4
Then
I warned you to avoid a useless form of synthetic CoQ10. This is not
the natural product that gives your cells energy, but an alien molecule
whipped up by Big Agra from pesticide-laden tobacco leaves.
Now we've discovered that you can't even count on getting the herbs you pay for at many of the major chain stores.
The scandal has cast a shadow over all the honest people who provide honest supplements – including myself.
I care deeply about the health and well-being of my patients. And I am appalled at the dishonesty of many of these chains.
In
New York State, the attorney general has accused GNC, Target, Walmart
and Walgreens of selling bogus bottles of ginseng, gingko biloba, St.
John's Wort, valerian root and other herbs.5
Investigators
charge that four-out-of-five of the bottles they tested from the
stores' shelves didn't contain even a bit of DNA from the herb on the
label.
Instead,
investigators found most of the capsules contained fillers, like rice
scraps, spruce clippings, and houseplant shreds. Some other odd
ingredients were peas, beans, radish, and asparagus.
Worst
of all, investigators have charged that some of capsules contained
wheat, which made them a health hazard to anyone who's allergic to the
grain. In one case, these capsules were sold in a bottle labeled "wheat
and gluten free."
State
prosecutors have now demanded proof of source and that the herbs had
been tested for the quality claimed on many of the bottles.
As
a physician who cares deeply about the well-being of all my patients, I
can vouch for every ingredient in each and every one of the supplements
that I prescribe.
The
most reputable suppliers provide a Certificate of Analysis, or COA.
Every COA verifies that the ingredients have been tested to prove they
contain the proper contents in their proper quantities.
COAs
also tell you what's not in the ingredients. They confirm they've been
tested and found to be free of toxic heavy metals, like mercury and
lead. Among other tests, they show the ingredients are also free of
microbial agents, like salmonella and E.coli.
COAs are essentially a pedigree for the product, and I make sure my products have the finest pedigrees.
For
example, when I decided to put omega-3s in one of my products, I didn't
settle for getting them from any old fish oil supplier. I know a lot of
fish oil can't be trusted, because our rivers, lakes and oceans have
become so polluted.
That's
why I did so much research and formulated a safe and potent mixture of
squid oil, krill oil, and another special fish oil. But before I bought
the oils, I made sure they were pure and pollution free.
Heavy
metal pollution becomes worse the higher you go up the food chain. Big
fish have more mercury in them than little fish, because the big fish
absorb this toxic metal from all the little fish they eat. That's why I
used oil from krill, tiny crustaceans at the bottom of the food chain.
And
to make sure the oils were free of toxins, I insisted they go through a
rigorous, cold-filtration process. Afterward, tests by Consumerlab.com
revealed the oils were free of chemicals, like PCBs and solvents, as
well as heavy metals, like mercury.
In
fact, the cold-filtration process even boosted the oils' levels of
anti-inflammatory fats by 115 percent of what I reported on the label.
I
doubt than anybody at GNC, Target, Walmart, Walgreens or any other
mega-outlet went through as much trouble as I did to ensure the quality
of any of their products.
So
here's my advice: You get what you pay for. Good-quality herbs and
supplements don't come cheap. They take a lot of hard work and
dedication to get right.
You
need to deal with someone you can trust. So don't be afraid to ask
questions about where their products came from. If they can't provide
specific details, that's a red flag.
And always ask to see their COA. We print ours right on the bottle.
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD

How to remove Superfish and its certificate from your Lenovo® PC
What is Superfish?
Superfish is a piece of software that Lenovo has admitted to pre-installing on many of its laptops to "enhance the shopping experience" of its users. However, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team
calls Superfish a "man-in-the-middle attack" because of how it
"intercepts users' web traffic to provide targeted advertisements."
Why is Superfish so dangerous?
Superfish snoops in on your web browsing and secretly slips ads into
webpages. But the really dangerous part is that it's pre-installed with
root certificate authority, which allows it to impersonate any server's
security certificate.
If this certificate is compromised by hackers, you could be tricked
into logging in to a fake website and giving hackers your password.
Because of Superfish, any of your accounts—including encrypted bank
accounts—could be easily compromised.
Which computers are affected?
According to Lenovo, Superfish may have been pre-installed
on the following models:

Will restoring from a backup help?
Superfish has been pre-installed by
Lenovo. Therefore, restoring your computer to factory condition from
either a backup partition or a backup DVD will not solve the problem if
Superfish is also part of your backup. Superfish would only be
reinstalled, too.
So if you ever use a backup to restore
your system, you may need to again remove Superfish and its root
security certificate from your system.
Remove Superfish now
To remove the Superfish program and its certificate from your computer,
please use this free tool from Lenovo:

How to protect yourself from the scammers
How to protect yourself from the scammers
To build a real business online -- I mean a REAL business that keeps growing and keeps making you money -- you need a list. Bigger the list, better. And what's the best way to grow a list? Ad swaps, hands down. That's how I was able to grow my list from zero to over 13,000 in less than a year... But there's one problem. Sometimes you don't know who you're swapping with -- and that can be risky. More than once I held up my end of the bargain, only to be scammed by fly-by-night "marketers" who never returned the favor. Finally, I found someone who's come up with the perfect solution: ==> http://safe-swaps.com/a/7dxzk As a member of Safe-Swaps you'll have access to every other Safe-Swap member... you can read the feedback other members have given them, so you know you're safe... Other people will also be more eager to swap with you, since they'll know who you are... It's a win-win for everybody... but enough already, just go check it out for yourself: ==> http://safe-swaps.com/a/7dxzk To your success, William H Stewart P.S. There's a limited-time $1 trial for the first month, so you can try it out for basically nothing... If it doesn't work for you, you can cancel anytime. So there's no risk to you. Go do it now: ==> http://safe-swaps.com/a/7dxzk

10 Animals That Can Predict Disasters
Anecdotal evidence has long suggested that certain animals
can predict natural disasters, detect disease and more, and now science
is proving many of these stories to be correct.
Close observation of such animals could even help people to plan well in advance of coming problems, suggests a new paper in the latest issue of the journal Current Biology.
Henry Streby of the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues discovered that golden-winged warblers take off from their expected locations more than 24 hours before storms hit. In this case, the storm in question produced tornadoes that killed at least 35 people.
"The most curious finding is that the birds left long before the storm arrived," said Streby. "At the same time that meteorologists on The Weather Channel were telling us this storm was headed in our direction, the birds were apparently already packing their bags and evacuating the area."

Dogs can sniff out prostate cancer with 98 percent
accuracy, found a study earlier this year that was presented at the
109th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association.
Dogs have about 200 million olfactory cells in their noses, versus only 5 million in the human nose. Their keen sense of smell helps to explain the cancer-detecting feat.
Yet another study on dogs found that they can smell -- through a person's breath or sweat -- whether or not a diabetic person has high or low blood sugar.
Dogs Sniff Out Disease
After the 2011 magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan, Hiroyuki Yamauchi of National Tsing Hua University and colleagues conducted a survey on how cats reacted ahead of the quake.
The survey found that six or more days before the devastating earthquake, some cats engaged in unusual behaviors and became more stressed out. Felines began "trembling, being restless and escaping." Still other cats, immediately prior to the quake, became just as agitated.
The researchers believe that cats may sense quakes ahead of time because they have a wider range of hearing than humans. They also might be able to detect changes in atmospheric pressure, gravity and ground deformation.
Do Animals have a 'Sixth Sense' About Earthquakes
Humans have super sensory detective powers too, such as bat-like echolocation that could be used to predict any number of natural disasters.

Yamauchi and colleagues also found that cows behaved
differently several days before the magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan.
Specifically, cows "showed lowered milk production six days before the
earthquake," they reported. The decrease in milk yield continued for
another four days.
Owners also reported that their dogs were agitated in the days before the quake. Dogs would howl and bark in ways not typical of their normal behavior.

Have you ever noticed that bees are nowhere in sight
before it rains? They sense moisture changes in the atmosphere, causing
them to take shelter in their hives before downpours begin.
6 Things You Might Not Know About Bees
If you notice ladybugs bunching together, there's a good chance that super hot weather is on the way. They gather to preserve their body moisture, safeguarding against drying out.

So far, the animals on this list have all displayed stress
or a desire to run away ahead of natural disasters. Sharks are just the
opposite. They seem to be the ultimate storm chasers.
Neil Hammerschlag of The R.J. Dunlap Marine Conservation Program at the University of Miami found this out after tagging sharks, such as tiger sharks. They and other shark species gravitate to rapid temperature changes, which is exactly where storms usually intensify. Monitoring shark movements can help to predict where storms will emerge and develop.

Like dogs, fruit flies can smell cancer even when it
affects only a small number of cells. In fact, they can sniff out cancer
cells from healthy ones using their sense of smell alone, according to a
study conducted earlier this year by Alja Lüdke and colleagues at the
University of Konstanz.
The study focused on different types of breast cancer, but it is likely that fruit flies can detect other types of cancer too.
"As not only cancer cells can be distinguished from healthy cells, but also subgroups were discernible within the cancer cells, it seems that even different types of breast cancer cells can be differentiated via the antenna of Drosophila (fruit flies)," Lüdke explained to ScienceDaily.
Clearly medical experts do not plan to have dogs or fruit flies sniffing around in examination rooms. Instead, scientists are hoping to create high tech pre-screening devices inspired by the detection methods of dogs and fruit flies.

Silvertip grizzly bears have an amazing sense of smell, such that they
can sniff out a human that is 18 miles away. The same olfactory prowess,
combined with other sensory abilities, likely allows them to detect
incoming storms and possibly other natural disasters. They could
probably smell cancer too, but running studies on these formidable
carnivores would pose challenges.
Humans have super sensory detective powers too, such as bat-like echolocation that could be used to predict any number of natural disasters.
Usually such skills are more developed in
people who meditate or who have disabilities, such as blindness, which
causes the brain to tap into seemingly hidden abilities. A study on the
phenomenon was published in the journal PLOS ONE.
Mel Goodale, Canada Research Chair in Visual Neuroscience, and Director of the Center for Brain and Mind, said in a press release, "It is clear echolocation enables blind people to do things otherwise thought to be impossible without vision and can provide blind and visually-impaired people with a high degree of independence."
It stands to reason that our senses might also pick up cues given off by earthquakes, storms and other natural disasters before they fully strike.
