Protect yourself from premature death from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurological diseases.
While you are making your daily trip to Dunkin' Donuts, you are also protecting yourself against type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, liver cancer, prostate cancer, and Parkinson’s disease. According to the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Report about 3-5 cups of coffee per day can be healthy. Be mindful that your pumpkin spice flavoring contains synthetic sweeteners that contain cancer-causing chemicals. These chemicals hinder the beneficial properties of coffee in its natural state.
Liver cancer is the third leading cause of death in the world. Each year 600,000 new cases are diagnosed with a survival rate of 3-5%. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of liver cancer in those with elevated risk.
Whether it is full strength or decaf, these magic beans have bioactive compounds that reduce inflammation. While you are drinking coffee to stay awake through a college exam or a long work day, it is also helping to prevent certain types of cancers and disease.

Our patients with liver disease come back strong after I.V. Ozone treatments with specialized German biologics for the liver. Chelidonium, Hepeel, Injeel are just a few remedies that we use. Since low levels of aluminum and other metals cause liver disease, we offer heavy metal testing and ozone chelation to eliminate and reduce your total body burden. If you are guzzling antacids like most of America - you definitely want to test your aluminum levels in your blood and tissue storage. For patients with insurance, we can run comprehensive labs with Empire City Labs to get clear answers and stop the guessing game. Find out if you do have liver disease or Lyme or a chronic infection or something else that is affecting your health everyday.
First it is the immune system affected, then the hormonal system and finally the neurological system. If you are following Dr. Mark Hyman's documentary series called, "Broken Brain", you will realize how important it is to test for heavy metals, food allergies, Celiac and other pathogens that cross the blood brain barrier. Once you know what the root cause problem is then you can be treated successfully.
Not everyone likes their cup of Joe so I recommend Xymogen's MedCapsDPO or LipoTropiX or Liver Protect. For those who do like a steaming bowl of coffee in the am go ahead. I didn't discover coffee until after fifty and I don't know how I got through medical school without it.
As you may have seen on TLC's Strange Addictions, people are seeking the benefits of coffee from the other end.
