The hidden source of sexual stamina
every man will love


Imagine, sex getting better and better through your 50s...60s...70s--and beyond.

It's not only possible, it's happening every day for the hundreds of men who are in on the secret behind a groundbreaking new discovery in male health.

Recent research has shown that without an ample supply of one all-natural substance you can forget about revving your engine for sex--or anything else, for that matter.

And only one, specific formula contains the precise amounts you need for off-the-charts results. This advancement is so powerful your "Glory Days" pale in comparison to what you're about to experience.

Find out how you can harness the power of this one-of-a-kind breakthrough for yourself.




Dear Reader,

"There is no scientific evidence that connects sugary beverages to obesity."

That sounds just about as ridiculous as quotes from those tobacco execs who used to claim that smoking had nothing to do with lung cancer, doesn't it? Yet when those words escaped the lips of Katie Bayne, Coca-Cola's president and general manager of sparkling beverages, she expected us to believe them.

Yeah, right. Sorry Katie, but we're wise to the effects of sugar on health. No matter how you try to spin it, sugar's bad news. And not just for your waistline.

Bayne's ridiculous claim to USA Today was offered up as the beverage industry scrambled to find some ground to stand on in the recent "war on sugary beverages" launched by Mayor Bloomberg in New York City. Too bad the industry's pushback doesn't hold any water. Or, as I'm sure they'd prefer, Coke.

Let's have a look at the claims being made by Coke's rep:

Claim #1: Sugary drinks can be part of any diet if you're watching your calories. Coke's doing people a favor by providing all drink sizes someone might "need."

First of all, nobody NEEDS any size serving of soda. But Coke's confusion between a "need" and a "want" is the least of our worries here. There's simply no place in any diet for a beverage that offers plenty of calories but zero nutritional value.

Claim #2: People rely on the carbohydrates and energy in Coke. Ms. Bayne goes so far as to claim her son needs a "pick-up with calories and great taste" after school.

What in the world is wrong with a banana or handful of raw almonds when your son needs that "pick-up"? There's absolutely no reason to substitute soda for a snack of real, wholesome food. The last thing a teen needs heading into a night of homework is a sugar spike followed by a major crash.

Claim #3: Coke offers hydration, which is essential to the human body. ("We believe in hydration.")

I'm used to people arguing that drinking soda isn't harmful but this is just ridiculous. Coke does nothing more than flood your body with sugar and phosphoric acid. Any hydration you might get from a can of soda goes completely out the window when its diuretic effects kick in. And it doesn't just make you pee. Thanks to that phosphoric acid, your phosphoric to calcium ratio may become out of whack. This could lead to bone loss.

Claim #4: There's no scientific evidence connecting sugary beverages to obesity.

Wrong. You simply can't argue about the effects of sugar on health. Consuming soda is clearly linked to an increased BMI, as shown in a study in the Journal of Pediatrics.

One particularly frightening study linked high fructose corn syrup (HFCS, the "sugar" we're really talking about when we talk about most sodas) and obesity. Researchers at Princeton found that rats that were fed with less HFCS than is found in a can of soda gained significantly more weight than rats given table sugar, even when they were eating the same number of daily calories.

Another study showed that HFCS can actually make human cells fatter. And we're not letting sugar off the hook. A study in The Lancet found that for each additional serving of a sugar-sweetened drink, BMI and frequency of obesity increased. Perhaps most shocking of all, added sugar may actually set teens up to suffer from heart attacks.

Claim #5: Sugar is not an addictive substance.

Wrong again. One study in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews concluded with a rat model that sugar dependence is real and that there's no reason to believe that it isn't true in humans also. Another study found that the effects of sugar addiction and withdrawal are actually similar to those seen in someone who abuses drugs. Other studies have shown that sugar works in the brain in the same way that drugs do.

Claim #6: People should be able to choose what's right for them.

You know, I agree with this one. But industry representatives are rarely interested in the truth or in any kind of informed decision making. They're interested in the bottom line, and that's it. Casting Coke as a hydrating energy boost is simply self-serving misinformation. And that's not helping anyone actually choose.

Yours in good health,

Christine O'Brien

A cell therapy success story

Q: I recently spent some time in the archive at your website and read your article about cell therapy. I was so excited that I just had to write to you about an experience we had some years ago.

My grandson Steve was born in 1978 with Down syndrome. When he was 3 years old, my daughter heard of a treatment in West Germany called cell therapy and decided to take Steve there. He went to the Kinderclinic in Aschaffenburg, West Germany, and was treated by Dr. Franz Schmid. He was injected with fetal lamb (not pig) brain cells. Dr. Schmid told us that these cells would find their way to Steve's brain within three days and would stimulate his brain cells to grow. This was not a cure, of course, but it would hopefully help Steve to function at a higher level.

Steve is an adult now and has worked for Nickelodeon Film Studios here in Burbank for over eight years and is doing very well.

In 1981, when my daughter was considering this treatment for Steve, his doctor told her not to do it. He said that it was nothing but a fake and that Dr. Schmid was a quack. Dr. Schmid was lecturing at universities all over the world about cell therapy, yet in the U.S. he was considered a quack. Twenty-five years later, it seems as though nothing has changed.

Keep up the good work. Maybe with more doctors like you things can get better.

Dr. Wright: I'm very glad to read that your grandson is able to work productively for a film studio.

Dr. Schmid was an in-depth researcher and clinician--the furthest thing from a "quack." His extremely well-documented 455-page book, "Cell Therapy, a New Dimension of Medicine," contains a treasury of scientific data about the technique.

Henry Turkel, M.D., was another pioneering natural medicine doctor who used small quantities of thyroid hormone and a specially worked out series of vitamins and minerals for the treatment of Down syndrome. Yet even though his book "Medical Treatment of Down Syndrome and Genetic Diseases" showed picture after picture and X-ray after X-ray demonstrating unequivocal improvement in children with Down syndrome (and no children were ever hurt), he was hounded for years by the authorities…the same people who had no remedies of their own for Down syndrome.

"Down Syndrome and Vitamin Therapy" by Kent MacLeod is another excellent and much more accessible "modern" book about nutritional treatment of Down syndrome. I highly recommend it.
