I've never understood it myself, but many people still feel shame and embarrassment when it comes to depression. They won't talk about it, and they certainly won't seek help.
Well, I'm here to tell you that you've got nothing to be embarrassed about -- and there's certainly no shame in seeking help. The real shame is in what could happen to you if you just let it go, because depression can lead to other serious health risks, especially in women. And ladies, if you're depressed right now, you could face double the risk of a stroke, according to one new study out of Australia. We've seen this link made before. But in other studies, it's generally been found in older women. One study a couple years back found that depression increases the risk of stroke in senior women by nearly a third. In the new study, however, the higher stroke risk was found even in younger women -- including women in their 40s and 50s. Now, to be clear about this, not all cases of stroke linked depression are caused by the condition. In some cases, it could be caused by treatment -- because depression meds, especially common SSRIs, are also known to raise the risk of stroke in women. But whether it's the drugs or the condition, it's pretty clear to me that there are two actions everyone -- men and women alike -- needs to take when facing serious mood problems. First, never let depression go untreated. Along with increasing your risk of stroke, unchecked depression can also lead to serious heart problems. Depressed people are also more likely to engage in unhealthy behavior, including excessive drinking, smoking, and poor diet. And second, avoid medications if you can (especially those SSRI drugs I just mentioned) and turn to natural therapies instead. While drugs do little to correct the underlying causes of depression, supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins can actually give the brain exactly what it's been lacking -- easing the depression and improving your overall health at the same time. For more tips on easing depression naturally read my free special report here. Some people may need additional treatment, but even in those cases drugs may not be necessary. What you really need is a skilled doctor who can diagnose other potential causes of depression, such as nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances. I recommend a holistic physician who specializes in natural hormone therapies. And if you're in the Southern California area, I can help.

Diabetics, you already know there's a lot more to blood sugar control than just watching your diet and taking your meds. Stress, illness, physical activity, meds, and more can all have an impact on your glucose levels.
But many people don't realize that mood can play a role here, too -- and if your mood is low, your blood sugar can plunge right along with it until it reaches the dangerous levels that mark hypoglycemia. One new study finds that depression can increase your risk of hospitalization for hypoglycemia by 42 percent -- and the risks don't end the moment you leave the ER. If you stay depressed, you could find yourself heading right back in, because the study in the Annals of Family Medicine finds depression can increase your risk of multiple hospitalizations for hypoglycemia by a third over five years. It's not clear whether the depression itself causes blood sugar levels to plunge or if depressed people are simply less likely to take the care they need to control their blood sugar levels with lifestyle and medication. In my experience, it's often a little bit of both at work. Whatever the cause, it's essential to ensure your blood sugar levels don't fall too far, since hypoglycemia can cause you to pass out. The signs to watch for include anxiety, shaking, and sweating. You may also feel faint, confused, and irritable. But if you're diabetic, you probably already know all about the warning signs. The important thing is to make sure the people around you… loved ones, friends, and coworkers… know them, too because when you suffer from hypoglycemia, you may become so confused you don't even realize what's happening.

It's tough enough to eat healthy foods at home. But out in a restaurant, it's almost impossible -- because even seemingly healthy dishes are often loaded with a not-so-secret ingredient: salt.
Chain restaurants have been very loud about their supposed attempts to make their meals healthier, including the use of less salt. But a new study finds there's not much action to back up all that noise. In fact, sodium levels have actually risen by an average of 2.4 percent over six years, according to a look at menu items from 78 chain restaurants. And in six of the menu items examined, sodium levels shot up by 30 percent or more. Processed foods sold in supermarkets did a little better -- but not much. Sodium levels in 402 common packaged food items fell by an average of just 3.5 percent, according to the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Internal Medicine. When you consider that processed foods often contain double or triple the recommended limits for salt, 3.5 percent is a very small drop in a very large bucket. On the other hand, processed foods and chain restaurant meals are unhealthy no matter how much or how little salt they contain, so it's best to steer clear even when the sodium levels are truly low. And that brings me to a question my patients often ask me: Just how much salt should we get anyway? Recent headlines would lead you to believe it doesn't matter. I'm sure you've seen them, they all looked a little like this: "Cutting back on salt offers no health benefits." Those headlines come from a recent recommendation from the Institute of Medicine -- but the agency didn't say there's no benefit to cutting back. In fact, they said there's plenty of evidence that the current recommended limit, 2,300 mg a day, is just about right. Some people want to cut it further, to 1,500 mg a day for most, but the agency said there's no benefit to going that low -- and that's what led to those headlines. Leave it to the mainstream media to get the story wrong (as usual). The best way to get just the right amount is to avoid packaged foods and fast food and prepare your own meals from fresh ingredients. Cook with spices, but don't add salt until you're ready to eat. You'll eat better, tastier, healthier meals -- and you'll get just the right amount of sodium. Stop the unexplained ringing, buzzing, clicking and popping in your ears Stop the chirping and the whistling

Got bugs?
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization hopes you do -- because the agency says eating bugs could be the answer to the global obesity epidemic. I can practically hear everyone's response to that: EWWW! Now, before I get into the downsides, I will say that bugs such as locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers have been a staple of the human diet going back to Biblical times, especially during famine, and for good reason: They're packed with protein and minerals and have surprisingly high levels of healthy fats. I haven't eaten them myself, but people who do eat insects say it's not as bad as it sounds. Some even swear they're delicious -- and in one blind taste test, 9 of 10 volunteers preferred meatballs made with half meat and half mealworm to meatballs made with 100 percent meat. I wonder how they reacted when they were told what was really in those meatballs. My guess is more than a few started looking around for the nearest bathroom. The downside to this, of course, is that they're still bugs. Most of us work very hard to keep them out of our food -- so I don't see this catching on, at least not here in the United States. I'm certainly not planning to eat them myself. Besides, you can lose weight and stay healthy without eating a single insect. Start by skipping processed foods (which may have more insect parts in them that you'd like to believe), and be sure to pass on anything with added sugar. Then, center your diet on healthy lean proteins from more familiar sources such as chicken as well as healthy fats from fish and nuts. These are also the staples of the Mediterranean diet, which has given us some of the healthiest and longest-living people in the world -- and if they're doing it without eating bugs, you can, too.

| Why this NEW omega oil is about to change the course of cardiovascular health -- and even YOUR life...
It's been called "the first important heart-health breakthrough of the 21st century." And it's already getting attention from the top-ranking cardiovascular hospital in the country...
But you'll only hear about it in this original video. In the next few minutes, you can discover how this new breakthrough could help you keep your cholesterol controlled and your heart healthy for years to come! It's not some new kind of omega-3. In fact it's not an omega-3 at all! As you'll see in this exclusive video -- it's unlike any other heart-health nutrient you've ever seen before. See it here, first. Get moving to avoid stones
Inside of a generation or two, kidney stones have gone from thankfully rare to painfully common -- with the emphasis on "pain." Anyone who's ever had one will tell you the pain is off the charts.
But you don't have to be among the growing number of Americans who battle the misery of kidney stones, because there are steps you can take right now to slash your risk of the condition. Step one is the easiest step of all: A literal step, because walking and other forms of light exercise can actually stop stones from forming, and new research shows it's especially true for women. The study of 93,676 women between the ages 50 to 79 found that physical activity -- even light activity -- can reduce the odds of a stone by nearly a third. That's just an average, because the more you exercise, the bigger the benefit -- and in some cases, exercise can slash the risk of stones by as much as 80 percent, according to the study presented at a recent American Urological Association meeting. "More" doesn't mean more intense in this case. The study finds intensity doesn't matter at all -- all that really matters is that you get up and get moving. The study was on women, but a sedentary lifestyle is a kidney stone risk factor for men and women alike. Just bear in mind that it's only one risk factor -- and not even the biggest one. That distinction goes to diet, especially processed foods, and poor diet is the real reason kidney stones have shot up by 70 percent over the past 16 years. Obesity -- a consequence of poor diet and processed foods -- is also a risk factor, and the new study finds that obese women are 80 percent more likely to get stones than normal-weight women. Since obese men and women are often sedentary -- and typically are eating far too many processed foods -- that means they often have three major risk factors for kidney stones all at once. On the other hand, that also means you can wipe out three major risk factors all at once with one simple lifestyle change. For more details on simple and natural ways to avoid kidney stones, be sure to read my free report, "How to avoid kidney stones." And if you're looking for an easy way to get more exercise, try getting a dog. Keep reading for more. Pain relief in 45 seconds

Exercise is easier when you have a friend who can work out with you. And if you're looking for a tireless buddy who's always ready for some exercise -- and always pushing you to get some, too -- look no further than man's best friend.
As any dog owner will tell you, there's no such thing as sitting still when you have one. They need attention. They need to be walked. They need someone to run and play with them -- and that's why dog owners tend to be more active than people with other types of pets. That's also why dog owners are 54 percent more likely to get basic recommended levels of physical activity than everyone else, according to studies. As a result, the American Heart Association recently released a statement saying that canine companions are great for the heart and may lower the risk of disease. But it's not just dogs -- the AHA statement says all pets are good for the heart whether they get you moving or not. Yes, even your turtle, bird, or hamster can help -- because the very presence of an animal companion alone is proven to help lower levels of stress, including levels of stress hormones, and increase your sense of calm. And lower levels of stress are almost (but not quite) as good for your cardiovascular health as playing Frisbee with Fido. Of course, not everyone has the time to devote to a pet. And many people have allergies to animal hair and dander -- and if you're one of them, don't worry. You can of course get healthy without any type of pet at all -- because plain old dog-free exercise will work just as well. Exercise in general can lower levels of stress while improving overall cardiovascular and circulatory health at the same time. In other words, pretty much all the benefits of pet ownership... without the actual pet. God bless, Dr. Mark Stengler |

| Did our Creator make a PERFECT FOOD?
Stunned researchers now say "YES." Gram for gram, this amazing discovery packs awesome amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids, plus:
Prescription drugs -- without a prescription
Who needs a doctor when you have drug commercials?
It used to be that a patient would tell his doctor what was wrong, and the doctor would come up with a diagnosis and a treatment based on those symptoms, and some tests.
These days, it's the other way around: A patient sees a commercial for a drug and says, "I need that!" Then, he marches into his doctor's office and demands a prescription.
In theory, that extra step -- going to the doctor's office -- is supposed to stop people from self-medicating and taking drugs they don't need, too many drugs, or dangerous drugs without a doctor to keep an eye on things.
In reality, once a patient asks for a drug he usually gets it. Usually, but not always -- and it drives the drug industry nuts that at least some patients are being stopped by stick-in-the-mud doctors who worry about little things like health, safety, side effects, and necessity.
They want patients to be able to skip the middleman in the white jacket and get drugs on their own -- without a prescription.
And right now, that drug-industry dream is about to become a reality. Under a nightmarish new plan, supposedly from the FDA, statins, diabetes drugs, asthma meds, and more could all be available over the counter.
I say "supposedly" because I don't believe for a moment that the agency came up with this out of the clear blue sky. Behind the scenes, you can bet the drug industry has been pushing for this -- and pushing hard.
Them, and insurance companies. Since insurers don't usually cover over-the-counter meds, this could save them billions (and cause patients who really need those meds to pay more than ever).
The fact that the FDA is now actually proposing it should tell you everything you need to know about who really calls the shots in Washington.
After all, no one else is clamoring for this. I haven't heard a patient yet say he wished he had easier access to statins.
And doctors hate the idea. The American Medical Association even testified against it at an FDA hearing, and not just because docs could lose money if patients no longer need to come in for office visits to get prescriptions.
It's because they'll be the ones left picking up the pieces when patients make bad drug choices -- something that's bound to happen when they're choosing medicines based on TV commercials.
Something BAD is hiding in your intestines -- But you can help fix it in just 7 seconds a day...
If you suffer from occasional gas, bloating, indigestion or digestive discomfort -- there IS something you can do about it...
When my patients come to me with these kinds of complaints, there's one simple secret I rely on to give unbeatable digestive support -- and it can do the same for you...
Not only do my patients swear by this digestive support secret -- I use it myself. And now, you can too. See how it works, right here...
You're slowly being poisoned
Want a shock? Go get tested for heavy metals. Your jaw will drop when you see the results.
I know, because I see the reactions in my own clinic every single day.
The reality is, nearly everyone has way too much lead, mercury, arsenic, and other toxic heavy metals inside them -- and these metals are a major cause of supposedly incurable conditions.
I say "supposedly" because I often can cure or improve them, and I'll tell you everything you need to know to get started on your own cure in a moment.
First, a new study confirms the role of toxic heavy metals in autoimmune disease -- especially among women battling disorders such as thyroid disease, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and lupus.
Researchers examined data on 2,047 women who took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and compared blood levels of mercury to the presence of the autoantibodies made by the thyroid in response to autoimmune diseases.
Sure enough, women with the highest blood levels of mercury were more than twice as likely to have high levels of the thyroglobulin antibody linked to those diseases.
Now, you've probably heard that we all get exposed to metals, and that's true. It's almost impossible to avoid them completely.
But you've probably also heard that the tiny levels we're routinely exposed to -- like the mercury in flu shots and amalgam dental fillings -- are harmless, and that's an out- and-out falsehood.
Want proof? Look no further than the same new study, because the "high" levels of mercury linked to those high levels of the thyroglobulin autoantibody weren't high by current standards at all.
In fact, they were under 5 micrograms of mercury per liter -- or well in line with what the mainstream considers "safe."
You see, no amount of mercury, lead or other heavy metals is really safe. How do I know that? Simple: There's no known healthy function in the human body for these metals!
If you suspect exposure to mercury or any other heavy metal, it's not enough to find the source and eliminate it. Heavy metals don't leave the body like other toxins. They accumulate -- and the more they accumulate, the sicker you get.
The best way to rid your body of mercury and other toxic heavy metals is through chelation, but don't try any of the do-it-yourself treatments that reach the market from time to time.
An experienced holistic doctor can test you for metals and provide you with the chelation therapy needed to remove anything that's accumulated -- and if you have thyroid disease, that's another reason to get tested for these metals.
If you would like testing and treatment for these disease-causing metals, you can contact my Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine. You can find more information by visiting markstengler.com.
