Aspirin - Update on the Risks and Alternatives

April 30, 2026
Aspirin - Update on the Risks and Alternatives By Zoltan P. Rona, MD, MSc Key Risk Highlight Older women with high blood pressure, taking large doses of aspirin, can triple their risk of hemorrhagic stroke In May 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advised against the use of aspirin to prevent heart attacks or strokes in people with no history of these diseases. This is because there was no evidence proving any benefit. Despite this proclamation, I continued to see many healthy patients in my private practice swallowing daily aspirin tablets on the recommendation of either their family doctors...

The arrival of spring always brings the urge to detoxify the body as an annual ritual and fresh start.

This does provide some benefit for enhanced liver detoxification and removing winter’s accumulated toxins from the tissues....

Top 10 Supplements for Preventing & Reversing Alzheimer's and Dementia

March 05, 2026
(Endorsed by the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition) ByZoltan P. Rona, MD, MSc If you are 65 years old, you have a one in eight chance of suffering from significant cognitive decline. By age 80 the chances are that one in two of you will suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or some other form of dementia. Conventional medicine has very little to offer for prevention and treatment of the aging brain. In fact, most of the drugs prescribed by conventional doctors for other conditions actually cause premature brain aging, memory loss and confusion. Causes of Mental Decline You might say that...

Improve Your Sex Life: 21 Nutrients to Boost Libido, Fertility, and Testosterone Naturally

February 17, 2026
ByZoltan P. Rona, MD, MSc Improving your sex life by enhancing libido and fertility requires optimizing your levels of certain hormones. Testosterone, DHEA, growth hormone, estrogen, and progesterone are the major hormones involved. And their optimal levels in the body can be achieved without the use of prescription hormones in the majority of individuals. In the case of testosterone (the major hormone regulating libido in both men and women), certain biochemical issues must be overcome. Testosterone must be freely available to brain cell receptor sites in order to promote libido, sexual satisfaction, and performance. Unfortunately, testosterone becomes more and more...

Best Natural Treatments for Heartburn, GERD, and Indigestion

January 22, 2026
ByZoltan P. Rona, MD, MSc              HIGHLIGHT When you suppress or eliminate the body’s acid production with heartburn drugs, you also make it harder for the gastrointestinal tract to digest food – causing gas, bloating, and constipation By now, most of you are aware of the drug epidemic that is causing thousands to die each year as a direct result of prescription opiates that include OxyContin, oxycodone, fentanyl, and others. In my view, a much lesser known but more cruel and unusual punishment is the slow but certain death suffered by chronic users of a...

Boost Your Immunity: Essential Strategies for Cold and 'Flu Season

December 07, 2025
  ByZoltan P. Rona, MD, MSc Key Insight Vitamin C increases the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies and increases levels of interferon, the antibody that coats cell surfaces, preventing the entry of viruses During cold and flu season, there are many things you can do to prevent and even treat infection. Personal hygiene is of paramount importance. Hand washing is the single most basic and important prevention against the spread of infection. Plain soap and water should be sufficient to protect against the spread of both viruses and bacteria. There are also quite a few other proven...

On Parasites, Cancer, and Emerging Solutions – from Neem to Ivermectin

August 27, 2025
I first read about the connection between parasites and cancer in the 1995 book entitled “The Cure for All Cancers” by naturopath Hulda Regehr Clark. Based on my medical knowledge at that time I believed that the title represented an outrageous and fraudulent claim. After all, mainstream medicine dismissed the idea that parasites were somehow involved with causing cancer. Yet reports over the past few decades have surfaced claiming that even late-stage cancers could be brought into remission with a range of anti-parasitic regimens. More studies were also being published in the medical literature on the mechanisms by which parasites...

Heal Diabetes Naturally: Top 6 Nutrients and Lifestyle Strategies

August 13, 2025
Most diabetics who seek the advice of a natural health care provider are already on prescription blood sugar lowering pills or insulin injections and are looking for ways to control their blood sugar levels more naturally. The good news is that this is indeed possible and well worth the effort. Regardless of the type of diabetes, improved blood sugar control is possible with the natural approach. In many cases, oral hypoglycemic agents and even insulin shots can be significantly reduced or eliminated. Normal fasting blood sugar runs between 3.3 and 6.0 MMOL/L (millimoles per liter). Anything above that reading is...

With new research emerging on the long-term impact of inflammatory diets and environmental toxins, more people are looking for natural, sustainable ways to support their wellness. In this in-depth article, Zoltan Rona shares a comprehensive guide to understanding and reversing chronic inflammation through proven dietary, lifestyle, and supplement strategies.

Debunking the Cholesterol Myth – Can Higher Levels Actually Mean Greater Longevity?

May 25, 2025
One common pattern that I have noticed among patients visiting my office during the past 10 years is that they come bearing prescriptions from previous doctors for statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs... Most of these people had no significant side effects from the prescriptions, but at least 10% complained of muscle pain, fatigue, memory problems and abnormal liver toxicity symptoms like nausea with abnormally high liver function tests. A recent study (The LDL Paradox) done on over 6 million people has cast significant doubt on the need to reduce LDL-C levels. “About a decade ago, cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, M.D., and...

Nourish Your Mental Health with 14 Brain-Loving Herbs and Nutrients

May 20, 2025
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a timely opportunity to reflect on the growing impact of emotional stress in our lives—and how we can take proactive steps to protect our mental well-being. Over the past few years, we’ve faced a wave of chronic stressors that continue to take a toll on emotional wellness. While the pandemic may be behind us, its ripple effects remain—amplified by rising living costs, global instability, social division, workplace burnout, and ongoing health concerns. Many individuals continue to experience anxiety, low mood, and emotional fatigue as they navigate these modern-day pressures. In response, some have turned...

Why Spring Is the Best Time to Detox The arrival of spring always brings the urge to detoxify the body as an annual ritual and fresh start. Many people take it upon themselves to do juice or water fasts to cleanse their systems, with some adding in colonic irrigations or enemas.

SOLUTIONS FOR DEMENTIA – Top 21 Nutrients to Prevent and Reverse Memory Loss, Alzheimer’s, and More

August 12, 2019
Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, MD, M.Sc.   “In Canada, more than 419,000 adults aged 65 and older were living with some form of dementia between 2015 and 2016, and an estimated 78,600 new cases are diagnosed each year. The healthcare and out-of-pocket caregiver costs associated with the condition are projected to reach $16.6-billion by 2031.”  Globe and Mail, June 17, 2019 If you go by the statistics, dementia is becoming a huge issue in Canada. What is it?  “Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a set of symptoms affecting brain function that are caused by neurodegenerative and vascular...

Conquer Inflammation with Serrapeptase

December 31, 2014
CONQUER INFLAMMATION WITH SERRAPEPTASE By Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc. “As an anti-inflammatory, nothing surpasses the ability of Serrapeptase to safely stop inappropriate (sometimes it is needed) inflammation in its tracks. No matter the cause or the location (it even crosses the blood brain barrier), Serrapeptase gets to work stopping the inflammation. If that is not enough, it has the ability to dissolve any dead or non-living tissue that may be gumming up the works, particularly mucus and inflammation associated with pain.”                                    ...

Colostrum - The Natural Vaccine Alternative

December 31, 2014
COLOSTRUM, THE NATURAL VACCINE ALTERNATIVE By Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc. Most health conscious people these days are seriously considering alternatives to commonly prescribed vaccines. The major reason for this is the potential for adverse reactions to some of the ingredients of vaccines such as mercury, aluminum, formalehyde, foreign genetic material and other man-made chemicals. In children, the connection between certain vaccines like the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and the exploding incidence of autistic behaviour, asthma and other immune system disorders has made many parents think twice before having their children vaccinated. What is the alternative? My usual answer to...

Boosting Bone Density

December 31, 2014
Boosting Bone Density Naturally   By Dr. Zoltan P. Rona   Horrific Statistics   The numbers are staggering. Osteoporosis (porous or demineralized bones) affects over 200 million women worldwide. One in every three women and one in every five men over the age of 50 has osteoporosis. The main danger of osteoporosis is fractures. In fact, there is an osteoporotic fracture estimated to occur every 3 seconds and a fracture of one of the vertebrae will occur every 22 seconds. Forearm, humerus, hip and spinal bones are the commonest fractures.   Despite a greater awareness of the dangers of osteoporosis...

Boost Your Immune System - Essential Strategies to Prepare You for Flu Season

December 31, 2014
The vaccine debate rages on, with a growing majority of individuals opting to avoid conventional medical advice altogether. For example, in May of this year, the CBC reported that only 36% of Canadian adults were vaccinated against the flu. That’s despite heavy media advertising and dire warnings about what can happen to you if you are not vaccinated. So, now that you have decided against vaccinating yourself and your children, what can you reasonably do to prevent common infections such as influenza? Personal hygiene is of paramount importance. Hand washing is the single most basic and important prevention against the...

Body Building without Steroids

December 31, 2014
Choosing Effective Body Building Supplements By Zoltan Rona MD MSc Supplements for Natural Body Building by Alive Books Many people shy away from bodybuilding because they associate it with anabolic steroids, muscle-bound giants (Arnold, The Hulk and company), and the “no pain, no gain” philosophy. Yet, anyone who wants to look trimmer and feel stronger can become a bodybuilder. Bodybuilding is for women too. In fact, a record number of health-conscious women are avid bodybuilders. Weight and strength training can enhance your bone mass at any age, thus preventing osteoporosis. Exercising to build stronger muscles also decreases body fat, thereby...

Blood Pressure Controlled Naturally

December 31, 2014
NATURAL BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL   High blood pressure can benefit from a natural approach. Implementing a non-drug regime requires the supervision of a health care practitioner, especially for those people already taking prescribed drugs. The scientific literature reports that the following diet and lifestyle changes are effective: cigarette smoking and tobacco chewing cessation                                                      periodic juice fasting (esp. with carrot, celery and beets)  vegetarian (high fiber) diets  stress reduction techniques (biofeedback, meditation, relaxation response, etc.) ...

B Complex - Benefits and Beyond

December 31, 2014
B Complex Benefits and Beyond By Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc. The B complex vitamins are the most underrated of all the nutritional supplements you will find on the shelves of your local health food store. They are far more important for the optimal functioning of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system than any other nutrient or herbal remedy. While glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate and shark’s cartilage are grabbing the headlines in osteoarthritis reversal, we often forget that equally exciting (and less expensive) results can be achieved in osteoarthritis with high doses of several B vitamins, including niacinamide and...

Asthma, Nutrition and Drug Alternatives

December 31, 2014
ASTHMA, NUTRITION AND DRUG ALTERNATIVES Asthma is a hypersensitivity condition of the lungs associated with spasm of the bronchial tubes, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing,, coughing and the excessive production of bronchial mucous. There are basically two types of asthma: 1) Extrinsic/Atopic asthma caused by allergies mediated by the IgE family of antibodies, commonly dust, molds, pollens, animal danders, tobacco smoke and foods. 2) Intrinsic asthma due to cold air, exercise, infection, emotional and other stresses. Most asthmatics have a mixture of the two types, the extrinsic type being more common. Asthma prescription inhalers (“puffers”) and pills provide temporary...

Anti-Histamine Alternatives

December 30, 2014
NATURAL ALTERNATIVES TO ANTI-HISTAMINES by Dr. Zoltan Rona MD, MSc One in every three North Americans suffers from hay fever (sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion) every spring (grasses, weeds), late summer or fall (ragweed, goldenrod). Synthetic antihistamines are the mainstay for symptom relief and work by interfering with the binding of histamine to cells after it's release. Antihistamines can cause drowsiness, depression, weight gain and serious cardiac complications when combined with antibiotics or other drugs. Natural alternatives Diet Avoid dairy, corn, wheat and simple sugars to lessen the body’s allergic load Increase intake of raw fruits...

Adrenal Stress and what to do about it

December 30, 2014
ADRENAL STRESS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT ZOLTAN P. RONA, M.D., M.Sc. Stressed out? Chronically tired? Burned out? Allergies getting worse instead of better? Catching one infection after the next despite a good diet? Premature menopause? If you are coping with some or all of these health problems, chances are high that you are suffering from varying degrees of adrenal insufficiency. How do the adrenals weaken? Most commonly, different types of stress are involved. While some of these stresses are beyond our immediate control (nasty bosses, postal worker strikes, stock market crashes, unfriendly in-laws, hurricanes, etc.), many stresses weakening...

My Top 10 Immune Boosting Supplements

Influenza, Colds & Coughs GOOD MEDICINE • GREAT ADVICE by Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, MD, M.Sc In January of this year, Dr. Oz of TV fame (not to be confused with the Wizard of Oz) gave Piers Morgan of CNN a ‘flu shot right on air. A few days later, Piers developed a cough and hoarseness that could only be attributed to the shot he had recently received. Imagine that, getting ‘flu symptoms from the ‘flu shot. This is not as uncommon as one would think. In my practice, I have seen dozens of people who contracted the ‘flu shortly after...

Diverticulitis

August 01, 2013
DIVERTICULOSIS Zoltan Rona MD MSc A diverticulum is a small, pouch-like area in the large intestine. The appendix can be considered to be a particularly large diverticulum. When stool gets stuck in it, inflammation develops (appendicitis). Diverticula (more than one diverticulum) come about as a result of increased pressure needed to force hard, dry stool through the bowel when constipated. They do not cause symptoms unless waste matter becomes trapped in them. The diverticula can then get infected and inflamed (diverticulitis). Conventional doctors usually prescribe antibiotics for diverticulitis attacks in addition to pharmaceutical brands of psyllium seed products (e.g. Metamucil)....

THE NATURAL APPROACH TO ADHD

August 01, 2013
THE NATURAL APPROACH TO ADHD By Dr. Zoltan P. Rona   Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed behavioural disorder of childhood. It affects thousands of infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Some reports claim that 1 in 10 children suffer from some degree of ADHD but US government statistics claim that it affects about 3 – 5% of school aged children.   It shows up as abnormalities in behavior like excessive, uncontrollable, physical activity, learning disorders and communication problems in early childhood with some remission occurring during puberty. In the past two decades there has been a...

Natural Glucose Regulation

August 01, 2013
Natural Glucose Regulation  Natural medicine is gaining in popularity and increasingly supported by scientific research. In the not too distant past, natural remedies were criticized by the authorities of medical orthodoxy as being “unproven” because of a lack of controlled studies. This may have been true in the 20th Century, but science in the 21st Century is catching up to support time honored natural approaches to health care. Berberine is a common herbal extract derived from one of several plants including goldenseal, barberry and Oregon grape. It has over a 3000-year history in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine as a...

Calcium and Magnesium - Facts and Fallacies

August 01, 2013
CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM FACTS AND FALLACIES  By Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc.    Calcium and Heart Attacks  Do calcium supplements really cause heart attacks? A recent randomized controlled trial published in the January edition of the British Medical Journal (15 January 2008) concludes that   "Loading with high doses of calcium reduces bone loss but at a cost in heart health that is not justified."     According to researchers Dr. Ian Reid and his colleagues, the risk of a heart attack, stroke and sudden death is about 1.5 times greater for those who supplement with calcium.    How can this be...

Treating Arthritis Naturally

August 01, 2013
TREATING ARTHRITIS NATURALLY   About 50 million North Americans (approximately one in seven people) have some form of arthritis. In another 20 years, as baby boomers grow older and people live longer, close to 70 million people in Canada and the United States will have arthritis.    Arthritis means inflammation of a joint. The most common conditions are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus and ankylosing spondylitis. Severity can range from mild to crippling and may even be life threatening in certain cases.   CAUSES   A family history of arthritis appears to play a part in the disease, but the...

The Vitamin D Revolution

July 30, 2013
THE VITAMIN D REVOLUTION Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc.  “We estimate that vitamin D deficiency is the most common medical condition in the world.” Dr. Michael F. Holick, Vitamin D expert  When the June 8, 2007 front page of the Toronto Globe and Mail proclaimed the cancer preventing benefits of vitamin D (a.k.a. “the sunshine vitamin” or D3) and the Canadian Cancer Society chirped in with their modest recommendation for everyone to take 1100 IU of vitamin D daily, the natural health community may have felt vindicated. Many scientists felt hoodwinked.  This cancer preventive property of vitamin D was no...

Optimizing Thyroid Health

July 30, 2013
Secrets of Optimizing Thyroid Health By Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc.  The thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland situated in the neck wrapped around the windpipe located just below the Adam’s apple. It controls metabolism and virtually every aspect of health including weight, mood, energy and circulation. Damage to the thyroid can lead to underactivity (hypothyroidism), overactivity (hyperthyroidism), thyroid inflammation (thyroiditis) and thyroid cancer. The thyroid uses iodine and the amino acid tyrosine to manufacture the thyroid hormones T3 (triiodotyrosine) and T4 (thyroxine). About 80% of the hormones made are T4 while 20% is T3. It is T3 that...

Weight Loss Naturally

July 30, 2013
Weight Loss Naturally Thinking of a crash diet to shed a few pounds from winter’s inactivity? Unfortunately, less than 2 per cent of people who go on a diet, regardless of the type, keep the weight off after a year. In the long run, the more you diet the more weight you gain. This occurs because dieting lowers metabolic rate – the rate at which you burn off calories – by putting the body in a conservation mode. The past decade has seen low-fat diets come in and out of fashion. The latest fad appears to be no- or low-carbohydrate...

Leaky Gut

July 30, 2013
Leaky Gut The leaky gut syndrome is the name given to a very common health disorder in which the basic organic defect (lesion) is an intestinal lining which is more permeable (porous) than normal. The abnormally large spaces present between the cells of the gut wall allow the entry of toxic material into the bloodstream that would, in healthier circumstances, be repelled and eliminated. The gut becomes leaky in the sense that bacteria, fungi, parasites and their toxins, undigested protein, fat and waste normally not absorbed into the bloodstream in the healthy state, pass through a damaged, hyperpermeable, porous or...

Insomnia - Natural ways to beat it

Natural Ways to Beat Insomnia Dr. Zoltan Rona MD MSc "The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep." From the brilliant archives of Senator S.I. Hayakawa When I entered medical practice in 1978, there was no such thing as a Sleep Disorder Clinic. The past  years have changed all that with waiting lists of people making appointments for help at dozens of such clinics throughout the city. Such clinics and well-meaning doctors have spawned a multi-billion dollar tranquilizer, anti- depressant and hypnotic medications business which flourishes as the quick fix for this increasingly common disorder. In...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated Naturally

July 30, 2013
REVERSING CROHN’S AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS NATURALLY A recent issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology (May 1998;93:697-701) reports that people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, are more likely to use complementary medical therapies if they have had the disease for over 10 years or if they had been repeatedly hospitalized. The major reasons cited for this were the adverse side effects (diabetes, osteoporosis, cataracts and depression amongst many others) associated with and the lack of effectiveness of mainstream medical treatments. Since IBD can cause life impairing symptoms and even death, it is...

Correcting Intestinal Gas

July 30, 2013
CORRECTING INTESTINAL GAS Zoltan Rona MD MSc Gas attacks in an otherwise healthy individual most often occur because of: food intolerances (e.g. coffee, tea, dairy, yeast, chocolate, wheat, carbonated beverages, cabbage, brans, psyllium, corn, soy products, etc.) - insufficient stomach acid production causing incompletely digested protein low pancreatic and intestinal digestive enzymes leading to incompletely digested carbohydrates and fats  an imbalance between friendly and potentially pathogenic bacteria, fungi or parasites  a fermentation process carried out by yeast (candida) on sugar, yeast and simple carbohydrates Proper food combining may be all that is needed to curtail intestinal gas in many people....

Fab Sex Life Naturally

July 30, 2013
FABULOUS SEX LIFE NATURALLY “To succeed with the opposite sex, tell her you're impotent. She can't wait to disprove it.” --Cary Grant You may have noticed the ads in American health magazines for various combination formulas promising the user fabulous sex for life. Some of the claims being made for one product aimed at women include increased intensity and ease of achieving orgasm, improved clitoral sensitivity, enhanced intensity of pelvic sensation during sex and decreased time needed for vaginal lubrication. For men, equivalent products are said to intensify orgasm, firm up erections, prolong erections during sexual activity and reduce the...

Hives - Natural Treatments

April 15, 2013
NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR HIVES Dr. Zoltan Rona MD MSc Hives (urticaria) is the name given to a skin eruption characterized by outbreaks of red, itchy, occasionally swollen welts on the skin associated with histamine release. They are most often treated by conventional doctors with antihistamines or corticosteroids. Hives can be the result of anxiety, viral infections, chemical exposure or hidden food allergies. Food allergies can develop because of heredity or some specific injury to the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. This injury can be caused by non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), antibiotics, chemicals in food or water, steroids like the birth...

How I treat diabetes

April 15, 2013
How I Treat Diabetes Many health professionals maintain that juvenile diabetes can only be treated by insulin injections and will not respond to the natural approach. I used to believe this, too, until one young man who consulted me about five years ago changed my thinking. John B. was a 15-year-old newly diagnosed diabetic who rejected the prescribed insulin needles. He self-treated his problem successfully, using a diet determined by food allergy testing combined with several of the nutritional and herbal supplements described below. Five years later, John has had no relapse in his condition. His blood sugar levels remain...

Seasonal Allergy Relief Naturally

April 15, 2013
SEASONAL ALLERGY RELIEF NATURALLY Spring and fall are the least popular seasons for most allergy sufferers. The usual disturbing symptoms of environmental (inhalant) allergies are often severe enough to interfere with productivity. Allergies to grasses, trees, molds, pollens, dust and other environmental pollutants can cause chronic sinus congestion, runny nose, postnasal drip, headaches, earaches, itching, eye irritation and infection, wheezing and sneezing, all with variable degrees of severity. Despite a greater awareness of natural ways to both prevent and treat seasonal allergies, most of the North American public is still resorting to the use of symptom suppressing drugs like antihistamines,...

Curing the Constipation Blues

April 13, 2013
Curing the Constipation Blues “When I got up this morning I took 2 Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac. I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it.”      Anonymous A 45-year-old patient recently told me that her family doctor and gastroenterologist both believed there was nothing wrong with her having only one bowel movement each week. In the doctors’ own words: “This is normal for you.” Believe it or not, this small-stool philosophy is promoted by many conventional medical groups, including the National Institute on Aging. Here’s a direct quote from their Web site (http://www.nih.gov/nia/):...

Omega 3 Supremacy

July 17, 2012
The Omega-3 Supremacy By Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc.  Virtually every new patient I have seen in my private office practice in the past 10 years has been taking at least one or more nutritional supplement. In my experience, the most popular one by far is omega-3 fatty acids coming from fish oil, seafood and other animal life. If it isn’t the tried and true cod liver oil, it’s halibut liver oil, salmon oil, krill oil or seal oil. Aside from the fact that the natural health industry has been promoting omega-3 for decades, numerous conventional doctors (GPs, psychiatrists, cardiologists,...

Maca Mania

July 17, 2012
MACA MANIA By Dr. Zoltan Rona, M.D., M.Sc. About a year ago, numerous patients were visiting my office singing the praises of a miraculous herbal remedy known as maca. I’ve learned a great deal from patients over the years and decided to pay attention to a growing number of reports praising this increasingly popular plant. Until that time, I had only heard of Maca as an obscure tonic. Was this just another fast-fading fad like coral calcium, noni juice and kombucha? The major benefit reported by these people was energy enhancement but several women were also making claims of relief...

Megadose Vitamin Therapy for Cancer

July 03, 2012
IV Vitamin C Proven Effective in New Research by Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, MD, M.Sc.   Intravenous nutritional therapy is invasive and should only be considered by those who have tried unsuccessfully to use strict diet changes and oral supplements to heal chronic health conditions. Although it is often used by healthy individuals, including elite athletes, to improve performance, it is by no means everybody’s first choice in complementary or alternative medicine. Linus Pauling was right! Long before his death, he had published a great deal about vitamin C’s ability to effectively fight cancer when given in doses greater than 10,000...
