Increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviours, weight gain, high blood sugar, increased risk of diabetes, rapid heartbeat, difficulty sleeping and trouble concentrating... these are just some of the side-effects reported in antidepressant drugs. And now they want to give these drugs to our children! Christine O'Brien shares some scary facts and findings, and how these drugs are probably going to be approved.

Low Carb.
Those two words are all it takes to send certain nutrition "experts" around the bend. And the phrase "low glycaemic" often has the same effect. Not surprising, of course – if you follow a low-glycaemic regimen then you'll be cutting virtually all simple, refined carbs from your diet.
While those experts busy themselves belittling a diet that's been shown to be ideal for type II diabetics, I want you to see another excellent reason to take the low-glycaemic road: Your vision health.
Read the article below to find out how to help reverse vision-loss just by changing your diet...

As a group, we consumers are trusting souls.
If a product is well known, we generally trust that the manufacturer has taken steps to ensure the product's safety.
But that's not realistic. Don't ever assume that a personal product is safe just because it carries a familiar brand name and has been on your shop's shelf for years.

I've been trained in first-aid. But honestly, if someone around me had to stop breathing, I would probably freeze-up and forget how to perform CPR. So what do you do when a child has asthma and can't breath? Pump them full of drugs, right? But what if those drugs could cause more harm than good?
This is what Dr. Inglis says about the dangers of inhalers...

We all know that Nigeria has a bad reputation for drug-dealing, but what happens when a pharmaceutical giant performs drug testing? Eleven children die as 'guinea pigs' for their testing, that's what!
And while this company has done its best to cover up, it's time these things are exposed. Read below and decide for yourself who the real drug-lords are.

You might remember my previous email about thermography as an alternative to a mammogram (click here to read it if you don't recall) - where I warned you that mammograms might actually do more harm than good.
Well, now there is new evidence to back this theory up. See below for more information!

I must admit to being quite horrified when my colleague, Taryn, came to me with the article on rocket fuel in baby formula. You see, she has a little girl which used to be on formula, and was now worried about what she's been giving to her child. It seems she had every right to be concerned...
See Christine's article below to see what's got Taryn up in arms.

I like to think that I'm in tune with my body. If I'm falling ill, I generally feel that something is not right and can take the necessary precautions to prevent myself from actually "coming down" with something.
So when I read Amanda's article below, I was quite happy to learn one more way of staying in touch and in tune with what my body is up to.

Just the phrase "kidney stones" is probably enough to send a shudder through your body  – especially if you've suffered the anguish of this painful problem. And when you imagine this gut-wrenching pain being visited upon your child. Well… it sounds cruel beyond belief. Read below to find out if your little angel is at risk and what you could do to prevent this unnessary evil inflicting itself on your child!
