Nature continues to put drugs to shame, yet why has no one heard of this research?<\/p>\n
In Part 1, honey beat a steroid fourteen-fold for chronic cough, turmeric stopped prediabetes in 100% of trial participants, and saffron ran even with Prozac. The response told us something: people are hungry for the studies nobody puts in a press release.<\/p>\n
So for Part 2, we went back into the archive \u2014 455,000 studies, hand-mapped since 2008 \u2014 and pulled ten more. This time we went after the drugs people take every day: the antibiotic for recurrent UTIs, the beta-blocker for blood pressure, the Alzheimer\u2019s blockbuster, the stimulant given to millions of children, the benzodiazepine for sleep, and the antidepressants tens of millions of people take every morning.<\/p>\n
Same rules as Part 1. Every study is a human trial. Every one is indexed in our database. Every one links to the long-form article or abstract so you can check the work yourself.<\/p>\n
And the same caveat: this is research information, not medical advice. Some of these trials are large and well designed \u2014 the St. John\u2019s wort meta-analysis covers 27 trials and 3,808 patients; the mindfulness trial ran in The Lancet. Others are smaller or single studies. I\u2019ve given you the design and the numbers for each so you can weigh them. Never stop a prescribed medication without your practitioner.<\/p>\n
