Water is a basic necessity, needed to maintain a healthy body, a clear mind, and a good balance within your tissues. About 60 percent of your body is water, and you must constantly replenish the supply, as it’s used continuously in the processes of life. Many people fail to drink enough of it. The standard recommendation is to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses a day. I’m not sure you need to force that much down, but do try to drink as much as you can, and more than you think you need. While you’re doing all this drinking, however,

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) You’ve long heard the old adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Turns out, there’s a lot of truth to what your grandma was saying when she offered you an apple instead of junk food. And, while apples are one of the most widely-consumed fruits in America, they’re often underrated nutritionally. We know that lowering the risk of chronic inflammation is crucial to combating disease, and while a diet high and fruits and vegetables helps accomplish this, there’s evidence to show that apples are especially helpful in reducing the risk of inflammation.

Comment: And what is Xanax? A mind-altering, highly addictive, yet commonly prescribed drug to ‘induce feelings of calmness that counter feelings of anxiety and panic’. Scientists testing a small but random sample of donated blood ready for transfusion have discovered that 70 percent contained traces of Xanax. Writing in the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical earlier this month, researchers were surprised by the level of pharmaceuticals detected in supposedly clean blood batches — in particular, the concentrations of cough medicine and anti-anxiety medication. The testing also revealed that all 18 batches of blood contained caffeine, suggesting America’s love of coffee,

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Are you noticing a frustrating trend in health and medicine that allows horrible common chemical ingredients and products to be replaced by other harmful items that turn out to be equally (if not more) dangerous?! A perfect example: all those “fat-free” foods loaded with sugar and sodium. Another example? The “BPA-free” trend that’s given rise to a household chemical called bisphenol S, or BPS for short. The backlash against BPA – an endocrine-disrupting chemical known to cause heart health problems among many other issues – triggered a widespread search for other chemicals that could

The House of God, my first novel, was about the abuses of medical internships. After it was published in 1978, it started a conversation that led to significant real-world reform in the way that first year doctors are treated.

Medical interns now are prohibited from working such schedules. Yet somehow the medical profession is worse now. We doctors face an epidemic of burnout. It is estimated that a doctor commits suicide almost
