A new type of cancer therapy is quickly gaining traction in the medical world and showing great promise. It treats even some of the deadliest cancers… extending survival from months to years.
Coconut shells, decaying peat, charred animal bones…
What do all of these things have in common?
It’s not a badge of honor to forgo sleep in the name of productivity. Sleep deprivation not only kills our productivity… It kills us, too.
Doc’s Note: Dr. Param Dedhia is one of the most interesting people I’ve met. He’s a physician trained at Johns Hopkins who is an integrative doctor – he practices both modern and traditional medicine. He serves as the Weight Loss Program Leader and the Director of Sleep Medicine at Canyon Ranch, a wellness retreat in Tucson, Arizona. He’s board-certified in sleep medicine, internal medicine, and obesity medicine, and he also did a fellowship in geriatrics (that’s for us old folks).
Param is joining us next week at the Stansberry Conference & Alliance Partner Meeting in Las Vegas. I can’t wait for our subscribers to hear his insights… But his stuff on health is so good, I asked him to share some of his secrets that he’s taught at Canyon Ranch over the years. The first secret is Param’s No. 1 tip for traveling, perfect for those of you who will be joining us next week in Vegas.

Last week, after our issue on winterizing your house right now (instead of waiting until the end-of-fall rush), Ron M. wrote in about the ludicrous nature of our tip on buying a snow shovel because he lives in South Florida.
Imagine looking at the position of Venus and using that to predict how much snow you’ll get for the next decade.
It sounds ludicrous, but that’s exactly what the Farmer’s Almanac does. In 1792, the publication first used the mathematical formula for weather predictions created by Robert B. Thomas. Thomas looked at variables like sun spots, tidal patterns, and yes, the position of the planets. He even gave tips on counting things like persimmon seeds and colors on a wooly caterpillar.
