The health benefits of eating dark chocolate have been extolled for centuries, but the exact reason has remained a mystery –– until now. Researchers reported here today that certain bacteria in the stomach gobble the chocolate and ferment it into anti-inflammatory compounds that are good for the heart. Read More  Natural Health News, Natural Remedies and Wellness Tips: Mysterious Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate Discovered.
There are well over 30 commercial producers of honey that have no traces of pollen and lack beneficial vitamins and enzymes among a host of other natural constituents which are removed due to pasteurization and processing. Most golden honey you see at your local grocery is dead and far from the health promoting powerhouse of its raw unpasteurized counterpart. Processed honey is not honey at all and if you desire any kind of health benefits, you must stick to the real stuff. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration says that any product that’s been ultra-filtered and no longer [More]
“Check out the articles in the health category for more good information on improving your overall fitness.”  Admin I recently shared with you about surrendering your body to God. This surrendering is where we all must start in order to reach our goals. Have you come to the point of surrender? I hope so. This month, we will consider the second part of getting unstuck in our fitness, and that is the subject of excuses. I have come up with the three Ts: time, tired, taste. I hear this first one so often: “Well, I just don’t have time to exercise.” [More]
Excellent expose on the multi-billion dollar Cancer Industry! Check out this post for more info and links to sites with info on alternative natural treatments. For more info on the heavy handed tactics of the FDA watch this video.
“Another good website to checkout in addition to the ones mentioned in the article  is www.drday.com. It’s the site of Dr. Lorraine Day who cured herself of cancer using natural means. Unfortunately the cancer industry is a hugh business with no real incentive to find any cure.”  Admin If you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, it is in your best interest to consider a second opinion away from the mainstream of the cancer industry. Oncologists will insist and even demand your immediate acceptance of surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. They will frighten you more than you already are with all [More]
“I posted this for informational purposes, use at your own discretion.”  Admin Despite the medical model which relies on pharmaceutical intervention for every known illness, there are well over one hundred common diseases that can be reversed naturally. That’s the difference between treatment for profit and healing for wellness. Arthritis (both rheumatoid and osteo) diabetes (both Type I and Type II), hypertension and cancer are all reversible with proper herbal strategies, nutrition and exercise. Read More  4 Diseases Few Are Aware Can Be Reversed Naturally Without Drugs.
Much of the focus of late has been on the toxicity of the main ingredient in Roundup ‘weedkiller,’ namely, glyphosate. And rightly so: far from being ‘practically non-toxic,’ as advertising copy once bragged,[i] the chemical has recently been shown to exhibit toxicity in the parts-per-trillion concentration range, and is being found literally everywhere: in the water, soil, air, rain and our food. But very little research has been performed on its metabolites and so-called ‘inactive ingredients’ – until now. A new study, published in Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology titled, “The effect of metabolites and impurities of glyphosate on human erythrocytes [More]
Vaccines contain much more than just viruses. They also contain a range of ingredients that may include antibiotics, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), bovine fetal tissue, polysorbate and heavy metals like aluminum and the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal. Taking a chance on injecting that cocktail straight into a growing baby’s bloodstream, thus bypassing the majority of the child’s natural immune system and allowing it to go directly into the kid’s tiny developing brain, all to attempt to protect from a disease he or she may never even contract does seem ill-advised at best, and it’s a chance more and more parents are [More]
Strawberries are known to curb cardiovascular disease, cancer, and delay aging. A new study from Italy that supports the heart health benefits of the fruit was published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. It showed that daily consumption of strawberries may improve blood lipid levels and platelet function by a significant margin. Strawberries are an important fruit in the Mediterranean diet because of their high content of essential nutrients and beneficial phytochemicals, which seem to exert beneficial effects in human health. In fact, studies suggest that the high antioxidant levels in strawberries can help neutralize the negative effects of free [More]
Loads of studies over the years have shown that children who were breastfed score higher on IQ tests and perform better in school, but the reason why remained unclear. Is it the mother-baby bonding time, something in the milk itself or some unseen attribute of mothers who breastfeed their babies? It may be a little of both. Breast milk is the most nutritious feed for the baby, protects them against infections and offers various benefits to the mother, including helping to lose the weight gained during pregnancy and reducing the risk of certain cancers.

What do regions where a significant percentage of the people live past age 100 have in common? As it turns out, quite a bit. In September 2009, Dan Buettner gave a TED Talk in Saint Paul, Minnesota, focused on finding the answer to that very question. His presentation explored the habits of people living in ‘blue zones,’ areas of the world with the largest number of centenarians (people 100 years old or older). The worldwide winners were Okinawa, Japan, and Sardinia, an island off of the coast of Italy. In the United States, the winning area was Loma Linda, California. [More]
Have you ever heard or spoken the tired line of “single-dom” – but if I don’t get married, I might choke alone and die and no one will ever find me in my apartment until weeks later… But married people choke too – anyone can and they might be alone. The method of running into or bending over a couch arm has worked for people, but it doesn’t seem fail proof when you think of the abdomen clenching up in anticipation. And, what if there is no furniture; what if you are driving; what if you are too weak to [More]
An increasing number of people are moving into urban environments and away from traditional agriculture. As a consequence, those who have a mind for self-sufficiency can find themselves falling short. Storable foods are of course an important part of every emergency prepper’s pantry, but storable foods are not a sound long-term solution that contain optimal nutrition. Even produce from farmers markets and store-bought organic food will lose peak freshness faster than one might imagine. Alanna Ketler from Collective-Evolution explains: Most people do not realize that vegetables will lose about half of their nutrients within the first week of being picked. [More]
“Now it appears we not only have to be concerned about eating GMO foods but also breathing in the toxic chemicals associated with their growing as well! It looks like we are all a part of a giant experiment with as yet unknown and likely serious consequences.”  Admin Thursday, February 20th 2014 at 1:00 pm Written By: Sayer Ji, Founder Roundup Weedkiller Found In 75% of Air and Rain Samples, Gov. Study Finds The GM farming system has made exposure to Roundup herbicide a daily fact of our existence, and according to the latest US Geological Survey study its probably [More]
“The news about GMO health risks just keep piling up.”  Admin The inclusion of genetically modified (GM) plants in the human diet has raised concerns about the transfer of transgenes from GM plants to humans. Contrary to the claims by biotech giants such as Monsanto, a report in PLOS One shows that that meal-derived DNA fragments are large enough to carry complete genes as they enter the human circulatory system. In some of the human samples studied the relative concentration of plant DNA was higher than the human DNA. The potential effects of horizontal gene transfer on human health have [More]
“I learned long ago to take with a grain of salt any comments by the “medical establishment” as to the value of nutritional supplements. You’ll see in this article how they used the results of a ridiculous study to try and discredit Vit D supplements while ignoring tons of research documenting its importance. Take charge of your health, do your own research and don’t let some authority figure flimflam you with bogus information.”  Admin Last November, researchers at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research1 declared that vitamin supplements are probably useless when it comes to preventing heart disease and/or [More]
“Excellent article on the importance of Vit K2 and the crucial role it plays in helping transport Calcium properly in the body. Since reading this I will be incorporating K2 in the supplements I take.”  Admin Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin most well known for the important role it plays in blood clotting. However, many do not realize that there are different kinds of vitamin K, and they are completely different. The health benefits of vitamin K2 go far beyond blood clotting, which is done by vitamin K1, and vitamin K2 also works synergistically with a number of other [More]
“Besides eating the marvelous apple you can combine it with other wonderful things like bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, pears, cantaloupes to make great super healthy smoothies. Here are hundreds of smoothie recipes with user ratings that you can make.”  Admin Folklore has always claimed an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Now we also know apples are fast-acting. Eating just one a day for a month can get you significant cardiovascular benefits. Researchers at Ohio State University found eating one apple every day for just four weeks can lower blood levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein – commonly called the “bad” [More]
Posted on: 02/13/14 How many kids will become guinea pigs for this unapproved new vaccine? When the CDC shouts “outbreak,” you better run for cover. Who knows what’s next? Maybe hazmat-suited doctors will be walking the streets keeping us quarantined at gunpoint (or should Dustin Hoffman be brought in to save the day)? What’s happening now in New Jersey and California is even worse than a fast-track drug approval. And only one group is smiling as a result of this media-hyped “outbreak” scare…the CDCs drug-making friends at Novartis. Our story begins with an unapproved drug getting rushed in from Europe [More]
9 Reasons Processed Foods May Make You Sick and Fat I have long stated that if you want to be optimally healthy, you should spend 90 percent of your food budget on whole foods, and only 10 percent on processed foods. Unfortunately most Americans currently do the opposite, and their health suffers as a result. With most foods, the closer they are to nature, the better. It’s possible to have some processed foods that are still healthy; for instance, frozen green beans have been “processed” as has butter, grass-fed ground beef, or freshly prepared almond butter. In most cases, however, [More]
“Article talks about a recent study showing that fish oil, among its many benefits, may even help fight the onset of Alzheimer’s. I take 5 Vitacost Mega EFA mini gel capsules daily which supply 1000 mg EPA and 500 mg DHA. They are molecularly distilled to insure maximum purity and have a natural strawberry flavor added to eliminates any “fish” taste. I have no association with Vitacost, just really like this product because I notice sharper thinking and memory function when I take it.”  Admin I’ve written to you before about the vast health benefits of fish oil, and today [More]
“Excellent article with a lot of interesting information on Monsanto, it’s shareholders meeting and how our government is doing all it can to push these frankenfoods world wide. You can read articles and watch videos on this site that document the dangers of GMO crops so why is all this evidence being ignored? What’s the real agenda behind the pushing of these crops everywhere?”  Admin At a January 2014 Monsanto shareholders’ meeting, two rather disturbing trends took place (though, admittedly, neither was entirely surprising). First, it was readily apparent that the company has no intention of taking steps to label [More]
If you eat eggs, the variety you choose can make a big difference in nutrition. Conventional, organic, free-range or pastured? Terminology can be confusing or downright misleading. Mother Earth News decided to cut through the hearsay by testing pastured eggs to see if they lived up to their reputation as a higher quality food. The results may surprise you. Read More  Searching for Good Eggs: Which Type is Best – Organic, Free-Range, Pastured or Cage-Free? – Healthy Debates | Healthy Debates.
“All the more reason to drink RO (reverse osmosis) purified water.” Admin Harvard’s announcement continues: The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15.   Some studies suggested that even slightly increased fluoride exposure could be toxic to the brain. Thus, children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas. The children studied were up to 14 years of age, but the investigators speculate that any toxic effect on brain development may have happened earlier, [More]

They are molecularly distilled to insure maximum purity and have a natural strawberry flavor added to eliminates any “fish” taste. I have no association with Vitacost, just really like this product because I notice sharper thinking and memory function when I take it.”  Admin Omega-3 rich fish oil is one of the most well-researched nutrients on the market. Its wide ranging health benefits have been repeatedly proven, and animal-based omega-3 fats are one of the few supplements I recommend for virtually [More]
The list of government recommendations on healthy and unhealthy foods over the last several decades have been as reliable as trying to pick the right numbers on a lottery ticket. There are numerous examples of foods we were told not to consume, but are now at the top of grocery lists thanks to a savvy public who are no longer fooled by irresponsible recommendations based on corporate greed. We have become more informed on the downfalls of short-sighted advice from old-school nutritionists, who really had very little understanding of nutrition at all. Here are the top 5 things we now [More]
On par with Stalin’s farm collectivization program of the 1930s, Monsanto’s push (to the tune of $8.8 million in lobby bribes in 2008 alone) for the Food Safety Modernization Act is already achieving the nightmares of its worst critics. Introduced in 2008 by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) as HR-875, the reworked FSMA was signed into law in January 2011 by President Obama. DeLauro’s husband, Stanley Greenberg, served as a consultant to Monsanto through his strategic political consulting firm, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research. (GQRR also advised Tony Blair and Bill Clinton during their campaigns.) Nothing in FSMA addresses the food safety [More]
