I'm sure you've already spent months trying to figure this out. That is alright. I've spent years. And you know what? I'm going to provide the information to you for free. Why? Because Lamisil is deadly and I'm tired of hearing/seeing/reading about all the bulls&#t home remedies out there that do not work.

Toenail Fungus Treatments That DON'T work

• Vick's vapor rub - this may be effective if on infant toenails and in only the mildest of cases. I'm not impressed with it though.
• Tea Tree Oil - alone it is garbage. If it is mixed with another ingredient, it will be more effective in the beginning stages. Look below.
• Topical creams, oils, lotions in pharmacies and drugstores - crap. They may claim to work but they do not. Save your money. Read the fine print. Even if it is called Toenail Fungus Blaster, the back of the package will read, 'not for toenail fungus.' Go to there and read

I have heard this lecture after lecture and it is finally sinking in. Women - I know you are concerned about breast cancer - and rightly so. However, it is cardiovascular disease which is taking many more lives.

• 45% of women worry about Breast Cancer --> 3% die from it
• 3% of women worry about Cardiovascular disease --> 45% die from it

This translates into women being 10-13 times more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than breast cancer. That is more than significant. It's huge.

A clinical pearl: Something to watch for on your complete blood count (CBC) lab report is not only your LDL/HDL ratio or cholesterol - how about your routine white blood count (WBC)? One would think that the higher your routine WBC the more potent your immune fighting prowess is, yeah?

No.

Studies have shown that women with white blood counts 25% shy of the maximum normal range are twice as at risk as'

Splenda is everywhere. I visit Costco at times and I see people load their shopping cart with 3 huge Splenda cases with big smiles on their faces. Ouch. My stomach turns at the thought.

Just because the FDA approved it doesn't mean Splenda is safe. Nor does it mean NutraSweet is safe (aka Aspartame). But that is a whole other ball of wax.

Sugar is sugar. Splenda is not sugar. Splenda is actually a chemically created product that uses substances such as chlorine.

Nothing is natural about that. People pay money to filter chlorine from their drinking water, shower water and even bathing water. So why would you want to go ahead and add chlorine to your drink and into your body? Don't.

The government uses chlorine in our drinking water as it is a matter of risk:benefit. They cannot have you drinking mass bacteria and dying. It is also not practical to filter chlorine from water coming into your house. It doesn't matter that you wash'

Angioplasty, in my mind, should not be an elective procedure. It is risky - about 1 in 200 people die from it. If your arterial diameter is 60% open or more, then the likelihood of being symptomatic is low. If the arterial diameter is 80% restricted and you're dizzy, heart palpitations, tired and out of breath, then angioplasty may be for you as the benefits of angioplasty far outweigh the dangers.

I'd rather see people prevent getting the procedure in the first place. If we can keep your pipes clean and free of cholesterol and calcium build-up, then angioplasty won't even be an issue.

However, if it is an issue, then let me say a couple things.

I recommend looking at your angiograph shots - take a peek. Look at those vessels - are they more than 60% closed off? No? You're not symptomatic and feel fine? Then, in my opinion, hold off. Try to eliminate the plaque buildup naturally.

Most cardiologists will not send you
