Dr. David Williams,"The People’s Scientist" What do today’s young science students dream of after grad school? Ask them and they’ll reply: "A well-paying job with a big drug company or food manufacturer." But that was never Dr. David Williams�?dream. He’s motivated by something even more rewarding: service. "I never cared about making a million dollars," he says in his easy Texas drawl, " I just wanted to make a difference." Has he ever! No other person has done more in the past 18 years to advance the science of alternative medicine, expose the unrecognized causes of today’s health problems, and educate people on how to become truly well and stay that way.

While most scientists worked to make their employers wealthier, Dr. Williams is dedicated to making the world healthier. He uses his extensive scientific education and experience in chemistry, medicine, and biology to stand watch for Jane and John Public. For this noble mission, he’s been dubbed "the people’s scientist." Dr. Williams�?eclectic background (health coach for the Houston Oilers, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Ballet…founder and lead doctor for one of the country’s largest alternative medical clinics…consultant to world’s leading health institutions…courageous critic of medical abuses in the documentary film "The Politics of Cancer"…author, editor, lecturer, and world traveler) gives him a unique practical perspective. He’s seen what works and grasps the big picture. Through his monthly newsletter ALTERNATIVES, Dr. Williams is bringing his readers the scientific truth behind the claims of modern medicine, popular health advice, nutritional remedies, and natural healing. As one subscriber put it: "Dr. Williams explains everything from cholesterol to breast cancer in a way that even my 78-year-old mother can easily understand."

What He Does For His Readers:

• �?SNIFFS OUT bogus health claims and "miracle cures" like a modern-day medical Sherlock Holmes.
• �?SIFTS THROUGH mountains of worldwide research for new breakthroughs, then travels to the four corners of the world to check them out in person. He’s the Indiana Jones of tomorrow’s brave new cures.
• �?MAKES MEDICAL CONCEPTS fascinating and easy-to-understand (just like TV’s Mr. Wizard did), because he believes health and healing happens faster when people understand what’s going on in their bodies.
• �?BLOWS THE WHISTLE on hidden dangers in today’s foods, health products, our environment, and medical treatments. One reader describes him as "the Ralph Nader of health reporting."
• �?RECOMMENDS THE BEST BRANDS of vitamins, minerals, herbs and nutritional supplements with the same integrity and impartiality that has made Consumer Reports magazine so popular.
• �?SEES THE BIG PICTURE like the country doctor of yesteryear. Humble and caring like Marcus Welby. He’s sensitive to patients�?real needs and fears, because he ran one of the largest holistic clinics in the U.S.
• �?HAS MORE "FIRSTS," more fans, and more successes than every other health publication in America. You could say that he’s the Michael Jordan of alternative medicine.
• �?CONNECTS THE DOTS and ingeniously reveals the big picture, like Albert Einstein and other scientific giants did. He often identifies a single underlying cause for multiple symptoms.
• �?INVITES ANYONE who’s curious to receive 16 of his latest Special Reports absolutely free to sample his unique vision—and see why there’s nobody in the entire health world like Dr. David Williams.

The Best Clot-Buster On Earth Thinning your blood is a good idea, because thick blood moves slowly (doctors call this "sludging") and is more likely to clot and cause a stroke. Unfortunately, most blood-thinning agents, whether natural or drugs, have no effect on clots already in your blood vessels. The exception are clot-busting drugs that are administered in the E.R. to stroke or heart attack victims. Now there’s an easy way to de-clot your bloodstream before any damage can be done. It’s with a natural enzyme derived from soybeans, called nattokinase (natto, for short). Japanese research shows that natto clears the blood vessels of clots just the way emergency drugs do, but natto’s effect lasts 80 times longer. Natto is a popular food in Japan and nattokinase is now available in capsules. One capsule should keep your arteries and blood vessels clot-free for 24 hours. Unfortunately, there is only one supplier of it in the U.S. right now. My FREE Report, Safe Alternatives To An-Aspirin-A-Day, contains full information, including the address and toll-free phone number so you can order your own supply.

How Sunscreen Can Cause Skin Cancer: For years we’ve been told to stay out of the sun and use sunscreen to avoid skin cancer. But since the invention of sunscreen years ago, skin cancer rates in the U.S. have gone up, not down. Doctors can’t explain this. Nor can they explain why the incidence of skin cancer in tropical countries (where the sun’s rays are the strongest) is extremely low. The explanation is simple, though: Sunshine isn’t bad, it’s actually good for you. Besides being our main source of vitamin D (a potent cancer-fighter), sunshine causes your body to produce melanin, your natural protector against skin cancer. Melanin is the pigment responsible for turning your skin brown when you tan. Using sunscreen blocks the production of melanin, and deprives your skin of this protective ability. That’s why skin cancer has been on the rise in this country, despite the wide use of sunscreen. Now scientists have uncovered another problem. Sunscreen itself may even cause cancer. Five chemicals commonly used in sunscreens have been found to behave like estrogen and stimulate tumor-growth and the spread of cancer cells. (7) (7) Want to check your sunscreens and cosmetics? The chemicals involved include octyldimethyl-PABA (OD-PABA), benzophenone-3 (Bp-3), homosalate (HMS), octyl-methoxycinnamate (OMC), and 4-methyl-benzylidene camphor (4-MBC). MY ADVICE: It’ll be a while before health officials get wind of this. Even longer before they take action. Until then, here’s a better way to protect yourself: Make your own sunscreen from vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid). It protects the skin from both UV-B and UV-A damage, while actually making it healthier. Simply mix the powder, which is widely available, with water or some form of cream and apply it to your skin. Reapply after 30 to 60 minutes.

ALTERNATIVES Is "First" So You Can Benefit First! It takes a long time for a new health discovery to be accepted into mainstream use. That can mean years, even decades, of needless suffering and unnecessary deterioration of your health—especially if you could start using these discoveries right away to improve your health. And you will, as a subscriber to ALTERNATIVES. Examples? Here are some of the big "firsts" from our recent past...

• Coenzyme Q10. In 1988, Dr. Williams scooped the health world on CoQ10. It’s now the most popular way to prevent heart disease.
• Chondroitin Sulfate. ALTERNATIVES was first to announce the news of this breakthrough treatment that actually reverses arthritis by regenerating worn-out joint cartilage.
• The Estrogen Crisis. In 1993, ALTERNATIVES warned of excess estrogen in our food and water supply. The problem? Premature puberty in young girls...breast and uterine cancer in women...plus prostate cancer and sexual impotence in men. Dr. Williams gave readers a six-step plan to block these negative effects.
• Feverfew. In March of 1989, Dr. Williams was first to report on this herb’s remarkable ability to prevent a migraine headache before it hits. No drug has ever been able to do that.
• Ginkgo Biloba. In December of 1988, Dr. Williams was the first to write about this herb’s ability to improve the brain’s memory powers.
• Glutathione. In 1996, Dr. Williams called the public’s attention to this vital "youth nutrient." It is the key to slowing down the aging process.
• Magnesium and Potassium. These two minerals are the most effective blood pressure remedy we have. They work as well as (if not better than) drugs—but without the harmful side effects. ALTERNATIVES readers have known about this safe, inexpensive remedy since 1988 to normalize blood pressure levels.
• Melatonin. Dr. Williams was first to explain how this natural hormone supplement can inhibit cancer, fight depression, and relieve insomnia, back in 1988 (seven years before The Melatonin Miracle became a #1 bestseller).
• NutraSweet. Dr. Williams was first to warn the public about the dangers of aspartame, back in June, 1986.
• Olestra. In January, 1988, Dr. Williams gave a "thumbs down" to this new synthetic fat. Linked it to liver damage, nutritional deficiencies, and cancer, even though it is wholeheartedly endorsed by the American Heart Association.
• Phantom Heart Disease. ALTERNATIVES reported that 50% of patients diagnosed with the disease and taking medications may actually have heartburn! Dr. Williams outlined an easy solution for severe heartburn, including a simple self-test to distinguish between these two conditions.
• Saw Palmetto. In 1995, ALTERNATIVES was the first to tell how using this plant extract actually beat the leading prostate prescription drug in shrinking an enlarged gland.
• Soy Isoflavones. In 1995, Dr. Williams was first to introduce this new category of phytonutrients that blocks the formation of breast and prostate cancers.
• And the list goes on. In March 1986, he published the first research showing how to use ordinary garlic to keep arteries open.
• ALTERNATIVES exposed the link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease in 1987.
• These were the biggest health stories of our time—with stacks of solid, scientific research to back them up. Yet not one of these new treatments are recommended by mainstream doctors—even though there were mountains of data proving their effectiveness. It took many years for the news to appear in popular health magazines. No other publication reports on as many cutting-edge health breakthroughs as ALTERNATIVES. As a reader, you’ll get the news years before it reaches the general public.

Why Doctors Are Wrong About Alzheimer’s and Memory Loss

"Am I losing my mind?" How many times have you forgotten a name or a face (or lost your car keys) and wondered if you’re developing Alzheimer’s? Here are the best new ways to prevent this disease and improve your memory at the same time...

NO OTHER CONDITION rouses more fear in folks than losing their mental abilities. Not cancer. Not heart disease. Not even blindness. The very thought of not being able to recognize your loved ones, or forgetting what you said just moments ago, scares the heck out of people.

And with good reason. Doctors say we’re at the mercy of this disease. That we’re helpless. But that’s baloney. Hopefully they’ll correct this misconception soon. They may not have an effective treatment or cure yet, but there’s plenty you can do to dodge this disease. And many of the proven Alzheimer’s-blockers you’ll read about in my Special Report, Protect Your Brain From Alzheimer’s and Memory Loss, can also make your memory better! For example...

Vitamins C and E keep you safe. A large study done just this year found that taking a combination of vitamin C and E supplements reduced the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease by over 60%. This is great news—but it isn’t "new" to my readers. As far back as 1999, I wrote about this in ALTERNATIVES. People who followed my advice back then have years of extra protection compared to people who are just getting the news mainstream. So it goes.

ALTERNATIVES readers are far ahead of this disease in another way, too. While this new study points the finger at free radical molecules (read: natural aging) as the cause of Alzheimer’s, the real culprit is a process called glycation, as earlier research points out. Glycation is caused by the large amounts of sugar in our modern diet. In the brain, excess sugar combines with amino acids to produce a kind of crusty sediment. This is the same process that causes bread to crust during baking. Both processes are irreversible, which is why Alzheimer’s is so difficult to treat.

Why is this important? Because, while this new research attributes Alzheimer’s disease to the normal aging process, the older research clearly shows it is largely diet-related. And that means you have far more power in protecting yourself from it—if you know how.

Doctors continue to stubbornly assert that taking vitamins is "silly" and a waste of time. It will take many, many years (and dozens of other studies like this one) before they change.

Folks, there’s plenty you’re NOT hearing about Alzheimer’s and memory-loss—and how to prevent both. My FREE Special Report will bring youup-to-speed. It also gives you the specific doses of vitamins C and E that produced these amazing results in the most recent study. But my Report will tell you much, much more. For instance...

Alpha-lipoic acid. New research says ALA is another nutrient that protects the brain and improves memory. (It’s also the most powerful antioxidant of them all, so you should be taking it anyway.) When Alzheimer’s patients were given ALA, their condition stabilized. They didn’t get better, but they stopped getting worse. And not one drug therapy currently being used can do even this much. If you have a friend or loved one with the disease, please read this part of my Report right away. With Alzheimer’s, every minute counts.

Why Alzheimer’s is rare in India. Another big discovery is curcumin (also known as turmeric), an ingredient in curry powder. Researchers at the University of California confirm its uncanny ability to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s. (This may explain why Alzheimer’s is so rare in India.) Not a fan of curry? Don’t worry. Curcumin is now available in capsules and my Report has all the details.

The aluminum link. Finally, stay away from aluminum. Strong research links it to Alzheimer’s. My Report contains new medical studies that you should definitely see. After reading them, you’ll want to distant yourself from this menacing metal. I first warned my readers of this in June, 1987.

MY ADVICE: Avoid aluminum cookware, antacids, and any food or drink that comes in an aluminum can. Most antiperspirants contain aluminum, too. If the one you’re using does, at least make sure you’re using a roll-on or stick—not aerosol! Inhaled aluminum particles may be the most dangerous of all because they travel directly to the brain. Full details in my FREE Report.

Shortcuts To A Sharper Memory If your short-term memory could use a perk-up, there are two quick-fixes that will surprise you by how well (and fast) they work. The first is RNA (ribonucleic acid), a little-known cousin of the B-vitamin family. It’s a key factor in the recall process, especially short-term memory. You can find it in most health food stores.

"How much do I need?" Dr. George Goodheart has devised an easy test to determine how much extra RNA your brain may need. Stand on one foot with your eyes closed. Have a friend time you to see how many seconds you can hold this. Persons deficient in RNA can only last a short time, and practice won’t help. Next, chew one RNA tablet and try the test again. If you see little or no improvement in your time, chew another tablet and retest yourself. The number of tablets it takes to see a significant improvement is your daily dosage. Recheck days later to adjust your dosage downward as your short-term memory improves.

Quick-fix #2. Your brain cells talk to each other through a chemical called acetylcholine (an important neurotransmitter). When it runs low, brain function is weak and spotty, and result in "Duh-h." Studies show that taking lecithin supplements increases acetylcholine levels in the brain and improves all mental abilities, particularly memory. In medical studies, when a group of seniors took lecithin capsules, they exhibited fewer memory lapses and had noticeably better recall. Another study involving college students found that high doses of lecithin significantly improved short-term memory and test scores...and the effect occurred almost immediately! Lecithin can be purchased in capsules, as a liquid, or as granules. (The granules are, by far, the least expensive form.) My Report, Protect Your Brain from Alzheimer's and Memory Loss, brings you all the details.

The "Sex Pill" They Don’t Want You To Know About

No one’s telling you, but there’s another sex pill in town. It, too, can give your love life a dose of "oomph"—but you won’t need a doctor’s script or a small loan to get your hands on this one. Here’s why...

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in advertising have every red-blooded American male believing that "the little blue pill" is the gold standard for sexual performance. Don’t you believe it.

The secret those drug-makers don’t want you to know is that there’s a much cheaper (and safer) way to give your love life a boost of amorous oomph. It’s with L-arginine, an amino acid that works the same way their popular pill does, but for pennies, instead of their $10-a-pop price tag.

Here’s how L-arginine works. Contrary to what most guys think, there are no muscles in the penis, only blood vessels�?I>a lot of them. An erection occurs when blood rushes into these vessels, pumping up the penis to 2 or 3 times its flaccid size. There’s only one catch. This can’t happen unless nitric oxide gas (NO) is present. (Erectile dysfunction is usually a result of the body not producing enough NO.) The little blue pill works by supplying the penis with a blast of NO, so more blood can surge in.

Researchers found that L-arginine does this too, because NO gas is produced when it breaks down in the body. Research published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated its amazing effect.

Even though L-arginine is absolutely harmless, the pharmaceutical industry isn’t exactly rallying to support its use. It’s easy to see why. If word ever got out, sales of the little blue pill would surely suffer.

L-arginine is a great addition to your daily supplement program, because it provides so many other positive health effects. (Normalization of high blood pressure for one, because the NO gas allows blood to flow more freely in blood vessels.) I’ll tell you about all of these benefits in my Special Report. I’ll also give you the recommended dose of L-arginine to remedy erectile dysfunction—and the amount to take if you’re just looking for extra oomph.

While L-arginine will definitely help your erections, it has little effect on your sexual desire. That urge is dependent on two other biochemicals: testosterone, the male sex hormone; and acetylcholine, the brain chemical that sets the process in motion.

The quickest, easiest, and safest way to put more urge in your sex drive is with a substance collected and prized by beekeepers for centuries. (No, it isn’t honey.) Amazingly, it is extremely rich in testosterone and acetylcholine, the reason for its legendary reputation as a libido elixir. My Report, The Sexual Effects of L-Arginine, explains all the details, including the best sources. I’ll also guide you to the highest-quality L-arginine (which, by the way, should only be purchased in a specific form for best results. My Report tells why.)

PSA Testing: The Next Billion Dollar Health Scam Men: Watch for a big new push by doctors to pressure you into having a PSA test for prostate cancer. Why? "Early diagnosis saves lives" is their response. But don’t be buffaloed. The facts say that early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer does little, if any, good. That’s because prostate tumors grow so slowly that most men die with the cancer, not from it. A 10-year study found that untreated men with prostate cancer had the same survival rate as men who got treatment. Huh? If early diagnosis and surgery don’t lengthen a patient’s life (and often result in incontinence, or sexual dysfunction, or both), what’s this all about? The answer is money. With 25 million American men now over the age of 50, there’s a fortune to be made from prostate screenings. The truth is, this new campaign is little more than another money-making scheme. Unless you know the facts, you could end up in adult diapers and longing for the days when you had a sex life. What would really make a difference is more funds for preventing prostate cancer and exploring alternative treatments. That would make this disease all but vanish. And we would save many of the 30,000 men who die from prostate cancer every year, whether they get tested and treated, or not. Brace yourselves, men, for the barrage of scare tactics. And arm yourselves with the facts. Look at the statistics and you’ll see that, right now, natural therapies are saving lives. But the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry don’t appear interested. Obviously, there isn’t enough money in it. EDITOR’S NOTE: This warning first appeared in ALTERNATIVES in August, 1992�?I>11 years ago! But most men still haven’t gotten the message. Since that time, deaths from prostate cancer haven’t gone down, they’ve gone up. If that isn’t proof that Dr. Williams�?advice was right-on, I don’t know what is. If you have a family history of prostate cancer, Dr. Williams has written a Special Report, called The Answer for Prostate Cancer that describes the most effective ways to prevent the disease, as well as today’s best treatments. It’s yours absolutely free.
