By Jayne Leonard A country staple, traditional mason jars have been around a long time – for over 150 years in fact! The last few years, however, have seen a huge upsurge in the number of mason jars being sold and used, especially among the DIYers out there. It’s not surprising that we’ve embraced the humble mason jar though, it’s an incredibly versatile vessel with a seemingly endless list of uses! Proving that canning jars aren’t just valuable in the kitchen, here are 23 inspired ways to use mason jars in the garden. 1. Butterfly Feeder Bring color and life

By Dr. Mercola The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about the efficacy of wearing face masks to reduce the transmission of infectious disease. Health agencies are not always in agreement as to who should or should not be wearing masks. The World Health Organization currently states:1 “Medical masks should be worn by health workers and those caring for someone with COVID-19 symptoms, persons aged 60 and over and anyone with preexisting medical conditions as they are at greater risk of developing serious illness, and people who have symptoms suggestive of COVID-19.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clearly states

By Karen Sanders, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) By the end of 2020, there will be 1.8 million new cancer cases expected and over 600,000 cancer deaths, in the United States alone. Yet, even conventionally-trained scientists (and doctors) admit that lifestyle changes can help us to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Simply put, there is a lot we can do to avoid cancer! To be clear: Of all the factors believed to contribute to the development of this deadly disease – among them smoking, excessive sun exposure, genetics, alcohol use and the overexposure to environmental toxins – diet is among the

By Dr. Mercola There’s no shortage of controversies surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, but the controversy over hydroxychloroquine is perhaps one of the most perplexing and frustrating. Doctors and health experts around the world have spoken out both for and against the use of the drug, some reporting spectacular benefits1 while others warn of mortal dangers.2 Game-Changer or Deadly Treatment? In one international poll3 of 6,227 doctors in 30 countries, 37% rated the antimalaria drug hydroxychloroquine as “the most effective therapy” for COVID-19. The poll was done by Sermo, the world’s largest health care …read more Source: mercola
By Dr. Mercola It may sometimes look like alphabet soup when scientists begin writing about perfluorinated chemicals, historically abbreviated PFC. Interestingly, the abbreviation PFC refers to two similar, yet distinctly different chemicals: perfluorinated chemicals and perfluorocarbons.1 Perfluorinated chemicals include perfluorocarbons and other per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, such as PFOA and PFOS. To reduce confusion, the EPA made the move to use “PFAS” to refer to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that describe chemicals in this group, including perfluorocarbons. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are closely related to PFASs, but these persistent chemicals have different effects. The EPA describes PFCs as “among the most potent

By Rhonda Cowan, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Are you eating a vegan (100% plant-based) diet? For many people, this lifestyle can be fantastic – filled with health benefits. But, for others, the poor selection of foods – on a continual basis – can create serious nutritional deficiencies. So, like with any lifestyle decision, you need to be careful. For example, if your food choices don’t provide enough vitamin A – in other words, not eating enough beta carotene-rich foods or healthy fats to assure we convert that fat-soluble vitamin A to retinol – we could develop severe macular degeneration and, even,

Anna Aksenova, a senior research associate at the Laboratory of Amyloid Biology at St Petersburg University, has advanced a hypothesis that the severe course of COVID-19 may be associated with the von Willebrand factor, one of the main components of the blood coagulation system. As the researcher suggests, the replication of the virus stimulates the development of microdamage on vessel walls. In its response to this, the body releases von Willebrand factor into the blood, trying to ‘patch’ possible holes. As a result, the risk of thromboses increases. It is with this clotting that a significant part of the deaths

The downside or risk of doing this is basically nil, while the potential gain could be avoiding another COVID-19 spike altogether. “If we could arrange to give everyone vitamin D, and it failed to protect them, so what?

By Dr. Mercola Everyone has the potential to catch the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.1 You can significantly affect your risk of infection and severity of disease by taking simple steps. Symptoms for COVID-19 can range from mild to devastating. There are factors that increase the risk a person may experience severe disease. These include underlying medical conditions such as obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.2 In one evaluation of COVID-19 patients from six hospitals in Atlanta, researchers found independent factors that raised the risk of hospitalization included being male, smoking, having Type 2 diabetes,

Putting that in its proper perspective, what the body needs to function without any problem are the nutrients in the raw materials essential to the human body. Those nutrients are called the essential nutrients. The body also needs vitamins. There are 13 essentials but 11 come from plants. The one that does not come from plants are vitamin D, and the other – B12 – comes from bee pollen. So, hanging out on the beach or in your backyard on a sunny day

By Dr. Mercola Scientists have learned that the variety of microbes that live in your gut are as unique to you as your fingerprint. This population of microbial flora can be rapidly altered after exposure to foods, toxins, antibiotics and even lifestyle choices. Each microbe performs a function and must be balanced for you to maintain optimal health. Potentially harmful microbes are only dangerous when they overwhelm beneficial ones. Essentially, this means living in a sterile environment is not ideal since the loss of your gut microbiome and the microbes living on your skin will adversely affect your health; this
