By Damon Hines, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) As the country burrows in under shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders, the COVID-19 pandemic has many consumers worrying about food shortages. And it’s easy to see why. A trip to the grocery store quickly becomes a reminder of food rationing in wartime America. But the problem today isn’t a shortage of food; it’s too much food in the wrong places. While the shelves at many grocery stores are empty of pantry staples, and food banks across the country struggle to meet spikes in demand, billions of dollars worth of food is going to waste because

Here’s the study all you grumps have been waiting for: A truly fascinating new piece of research finds that being just a little stubborn and argumentative may just protect against dementia and Alzheimer’s. Before you go and pick a fight with the next person who looks at you funny, that lack of agreeability would be most effective if accompanied by a healthy dose or curiosity and an aversion to conformity. According to researchers at the University of Geneva, people with that personality combination showed better preservation of brain areas that usually deteriorate and lose volume during the aging process and

Some doctors are questioning the way ventilators are being used for people with serious cases of COVID-19. Why? More data shows a high death rate for patients treated under current ventilator practices. At the same time, these doctors are saying their patients behave more like they have high altitude sickness than a viral infection. They talk about two different types of COVID-19 patients with differing severe lung problems. While some patients respond to treatment as expected, doctors also describe patients whose lungs seem relatively fine, but who still can’t get enough oxygen into their blood. These patients may make up

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most commonly used medicines. Unfortunately, their side effects can put you at risk. For example, you’re probably familiar with ibuprofen side effects like a heart attack and stomach bleeding. But recent studies reveal a new side effect – alteration in testicular physiology. The side effects of ibuprofen are already concerning. However, they’ve only been studied in patients taking normal, ‘recommended doses.’ The big problem is: people often take a lot more ibuprofen than recommended. What does this mean to all the men out there? If …read

By Dr. Mercola Emotional eating and food addiction are very real problems, and the former can easily lead to the latter. While emotional eating is a universal phenomenon and won’t do any significant harm in the short term, if you find yourself reaching for comfort foods on a regular basis, it can lead to significant problems, both physical and psychological. Physically, emotional eating can lead to obesity and related health problems, and psychologically, it may delay or prevent you from addressing your true emotions and sources of stress.

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) In the United States alone, we have well over 300,000 cases of COVID-19, and recent predictions from our government are not looking good. To make matters even more concerning, White House health experts warn that we could potentially see 100-240,000 deaths within the United States from this virus over the next several weeks. We can only hope that the true numbers will be revealed with accurate testing and reporting – in the near future. But, as Americans are feeling overwhelmed at what the next few weeks may bring, it’s stories of kindness that …read

By Dr. Mercola When evaluating the safety of vaccines, adjuvants must be taken into account. The most commonly used vaccine adjuvant is aluminum,1 a demonstrated neurotoxin that is added to certain vaccines to increase your immune response and, with that, theoretically a higher response of protective antibodies. Despite aluminum’s known health risks, it’s widely suggested that aluminum in vaccines is safe, including for newborn babies, but a math error in a key U.S. Food and Drug Administration study2 — revealed by scientists at Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) — raises new safety concerns. When the aluminum adjuvant was first approved

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Vitamin D deficiency has become a global concern within the past several years, with studies showing that as many as 1 billion people across the world are deficient in vitamin D. And, to be more specific, we’re talking about cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Within the U.S., more than half of adults reportedly have low levels of this essential vitamin (actually a hormone). While these numbers are already concerning, they’re likely even higher as researchers discover that the previously recommended vitamin D levels were too low. This widespread deficiency is concerning due to the many roles

As vaccine talks continue to emerge as the only ‘cure’ to this pandemic, what’s actually happening on the ground tells a different story. A Los Angeles doctor is reporting remarkable success in treating COVID-19 patients using a specific combination of zinc and hydroxychloroquine – the drug that is controversial regardless of it being inexpensive and readily available. Dr. Anthony Cardillo, an ER specialist and the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, has been prescribing the zinc and hydroxychloroquine combination on patients experiencing severe symptoms associated with COVID-19.
