This
week, Dr. Rosen feature “From
Side-Effect To Main Event”, discusses
how 3 new drugs to treat epilepsy, ALS and a anti-marijuana
drug all have side effects of weight loss and have become

Diabetes
and prediabetes are first and foremost nutritional diseases:
they respond amazingly well to a lower-carbohydrate diet
and thoughtful use of nutritional supplements, according
to nutritionist Melissa Diane Smith, author of the soon-to-be-published
User’s Guide to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes
Naturally (Basic Health Publications, June 2003). In this
first of a special three-part series, Smith covers the most
important nutrient supplements for those with diabetes or
prediabetes.

Importing
Drugs from Canada is Growing But!…….Beware!
 Over
$600 million in Rx imports in just the last year. It’s
mostly through the mail...from Internet pharmacies.
The lower prices are due to Canadian gov't price
controls and favorable Canadian currency conversion
rates.
Most
Canadian provinces don't allow pharmacists to fill
Rxs from U.S. physicians...so Canadian physicians "rewrite" them.
U.S. law says importation is illegal...but most
patients have no idea they're breaking the law. Read More |
