By Dr. Mercola During an organ transplant, physicians use the healthy organs and tissues from one individual and transplant them into another. In 2018, there were 36,527 organ transplants in the U.S., which set a record for the sixth straight year in a row.1 The total number has exceeded 750,000 since 1988, when the first transplant data were collected. Organ donation can be done in one of two ways. The first occurs when the donor is living and chooses to give an organ or tissue to another individual. Living donors can offer a kidney or part of a liver or

By Lori Clarkson, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Metabolic syndrome is a lifestyle-related illness that has a massive negative impact on our healthcare system and individuals. But is rarely talked about. In fact, this condition contributes greatly to 70% of deaths worldwide, according to the WHO. Simply put, metabolic syndrome is the prevalence of a combination of lifestyle-related diseases. You’ll know if it affects you if you have at least three of the following; a large waist size (40? in men, 35? in women), higher than 150mg/dL in triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol (lower than 40mg/dL in men, and 50mg/dL in women), …read

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Wear a mask. Get a COVID-19 vaccine. Spray down your entire house with powerful disinfectants. Assume everyone you meet in public is infected with SARS-CoV-2. It seems like our natural immunity to dis-ease is no match against this current pandemic. These tips to slow the spread from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) aren’t necessarily “intended” to inspire fear and paranoia, but it’s not hard to see how this is exactly what’s happening as a result. So, one doctor tried to offer an “alternative” and got in trouble for it. Of course,

By Hesh Goldstein What you are about to read will literally blow your mind as it did mine when I first became aware of it. There are various scriptural quotes that put this all into perspective. In Genesis 1:30, God says, “And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground–everything that has the breath of life in it–I give every green plant for food. And it was so.” In Daniel 1:8, it says, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself

By AdminM Comments by Brian ShilhavyEditor, Health Impact News More medical doctors have come forward to expose the continued withholding of hydroxychloroquine from COVID patients and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s continued propaganda against it, which has led to tens of thousands of deaths in the U.S., and millions worldwide. Two California doctors and a Florida medical doctor who also has a master’s degree in public health, have published maybe the most comprehensive response to Dr. Fauci to date, in their “Open Letter” to him. They join thousands of other doctors in the U.S. and around the world who are all saying

Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development co-director Dr. Peter Hotez discusses schools reopening across the country as cases of coronavirus surges in children A series of new studies have revealed signs of strong and lasting immunity in people who developed a mild coronavirus infection, according to a report on Sunday. The studies, which have yet to be peer-reviewed, uncovered that antibodies and immune cells capable of recognizing the virus were apparently present months after infections concluded. The findings could help to eliminate the previous concerns over whether the virus could trick the immune system into having a poor memory

In tropical countries around the globe, coconut trees are dubbed the “tree of life” and for good reason. Each portion of the tree, from the coconuts up top to the roots at the bottom, are utilized and made into a number of healthful products. These include coconut milk, coconut oil and coconut butter. Coconut butter might be a lot less popular than coconut oil, but it has most of the same healthful qualities found in coconut oil. In fact, according to Mike Roussell, a nutrition consultant to professional athletes, coconut butter appears to be healthier than coconut oil from

By everybodysfit Yogurt is the result of bacterial fermentation of milk. This bacteria is called yogurt cultures. The fermentation of lactose produces lactic acid which is a milk protein. This milk protein gives yogurt both its taste and texture. Cow’s milk is the most popular dairy source used for yogurt production since it the most readily available. However, yogurt can also be produced from the milk of a goat, buffalo, camel, ewe, or yak. Each type of milk produces different results and it also depends if the milk is pasteurized, raw, or homogenized. Most people eat yogurt as a dairy

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Remember how much you enjoyed making forts out of blankets and cardboard boxes when you were a kid? Sadly, some school districts are making a disturbing twist on this popular childhood game and turning it into a Draconian measure to impose social distancing and purportedly slow the spread of COVID-19. We’re talking about new school reopening restrictions imposed in Thailand. The photos taken of these young children in their classrooms are honestly jaw-dropping – many of them resembling kids housed in plexiglass prisons. It’s an unnerving testament how far government overreach and complicit herd

An increasingly common mutation of the novel coronavirus found in Europe, North America and parts of Asia may be more infectious but appears less deadly, according to a prominent infectious diseases doctor. Paul Tambyah, senior consultant at the National University of Singapore and president-elect of the International Society of Infectious Diseases, said evidence suggests the proliferation of the D614G mutation in some parts of the world has coincided with a drop in death rates, suggesting it is less lethal. “Maybe that’s a good thing to have a virus that is more infectious but less deadly,” Tambyah told Reuters.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over 16 million Americans are currently living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a debilitating condition characterized by difficulty breathing and blocked airflow to the lungs. While Western medicine may attempt to treat COPD with drugs such as bronchodilators and corticosteroids, these can feature toxic side effects that can include osteoporosis, pneumonia and even premature death. Fortunately, natural solutions do exist! Scientific research has shown that certain foods and supplements can markedly improve lung function and help alleviate COPD. Let’s take a look

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered how some cells within a bacterial swarm will sacrifice themselves so that other cells in the swarm have a better chance of surviving onslaught by antibiotics, in a discovery important for efforts to address antibiotic resistance. As bacterial cells within a cluster or swarm die, they release chemical death cries, which scientists call necrosignaling. These signals act like a kind of early warning system, allowing the surviving bacterial cells to prepare a type of resistance to antibiotics. The process of necrosignaling is outlined in a new paper out today in

Russia has produced the first batch of its new vaccine for COVID-19, the Interfax news agency quoted the health ministry as saying on Saturday, hours after the ministry reported the start of manufacturing. Some scientists said they fear that with this fast regulatory approval Moscow may be putting national prestige before safety amid the global race to develop a vaccine against the disease. Russia has said the vaccine, the first for the coronavirus to go into production, will be rolled out by the end of this month. …read more Source: Sott health news feed
On June 29th, 2020, while America remained transfixed by anti-police protests, the chairman and CEO of the pharmaceutical company Gilead issued a much-anticipated announcement. In a breezy open letter, Daniel O’Day explained how much his company planned on charging for a course of remdesivir, one of many possible treatments for Covid-19. “In the weeks since we learned of remdesivir’s potential against Covid-19, one topic has attracted more speculation than any other: what price we might set for the medicine,” O’Day wrote, before plunging into a masterpiece of corporate doublespeak. The CEO noted a study by the National Institute of Allergy

In this article, I’m putting together several pieces I wrote in years past, to reveal scandals on a scale most people have never considered. Why? Because the credibility of information you’re getting now, from government agencies, about COVID, is connected to the credibility of information you’ve received from the same government agencies in years gone by. If they lied to you then — in mind-boggling ways — there is no reason to think they’re telling the truth now. Buckle up. …read more Source: Sott health news feed
By Damon Hines, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Is it possible that our immune systems are being hacked by the toxic chemicals in our homes? And do these toxic chemicals increase complications of COVID-19? Yes, it’s quite possible! Scientists agree that long-term exposure to air pollution increases the risk of diabetes, hypertension, asthma and coronary artery disease – four of the biggest underlying health risks associated with COVID-19. But there are hazardous chemicals right inside our own home – the “safe” place that we’ve been told to shelter since the start of the global pandemic –that might be affecting our immune system’s

Environmentally conscious consumers who switch from cow’s milk to soya milk may be doing harm to the rainforest because it is cleared to grow soya beans. Vast areas in South America, including in the Amazon, have been cleared to grow soya and demand for it continues to drive illegal deforestation. Cows in Britain are fed partly on soya but a litre of soya milk requires 11 times as much of it as does a litre of cow’s milk, according to a new study. Britain imports 1.1 million tonnes of soya a year to be used in animal feed and between
