By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Your liver – a large wedge-shaped organ in the upper right area of your abdomen – has a lot of important roles. In addition to filtering and detoxifying blood from your digestive tract, it also secretes bile into the intestines, makes proteins that helps your blood clot, and more. There’s no question that your liver health is essential for overall well-being. Unfortunately, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a common problem facing Americans (to say nothing of liver disease caused by excessive alcohol consumption). And new research reveals why so many people with this condition [More]
By Dr. Mercola In the U.S., 5.8 million Americans aged 65 years and older have Alzheimer’s disease, and this number is expected to jump to about 14 million by 2050.1 Every 65 seconds, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with the disease, which has no known cure and limited treatments to help manage symptoms. While conventional medicine has focused on drugs to treat symptoms, most have only limited effectiveness. Alzheimer’s has steadily ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., but some estimates suggest Alzheimer’s deaths may be underreported, possibly making it the third leading cause of [More]
By Dr. Mercola Not only do your teeth fill out your face and enable you to eat, they also help maintain the bone structure of your jaw. Your teeth are made of four types of tissue, but only the center, or pulp, is not hard. Inside the pulp are blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that provide nutrients to the tooth.1 The outside of the tooth is called the enamel, which has no way to reverse damage from wear and tear (decay) since it contains no living cells. Your gums are responsible for protecting your roots as well as teeth [More]

Everyone’s a nutrition expert these days. Wherever you turn, you’ll find a legion of pundits lining up to tell you what to eat, from your co-worker to your latest Internet guru. Then there are the official experts. They have all got something to say — and it’s all different. Why not just trust the experts? Why are we even having this conversation? Because people are not convinced that they can trust official dietary advice. In theory, these guidelines are unbiased, impartial and evidence based. In reality, they are a morass of bias, partiality and powerful commercial interests. …read more Source: [More]
A Short History Of Chocolate Valentine’s Day and chocolate seem made for each other. This link appears to stem from the 19th century marketing savvy of British chocolate manufacturer Richard Cadbury who came up with a way to sell “eating chocolates” containing cocoa butter back in the days when chocolate was mainly consumed as a drink. Cadbury packaged his candies in elaborate heart-shaped boxes he designed himself. But the illustrious history of chocolate – now a $100 billion annual business – began long before that: In early Mexico, beans from Theobroma cacao trees (Theobroma is Greek for “food for the [More]
By Sara Tipton One thing that we can all agree on is spiders and rodents are unwelcome visitors who do not belong in our homes! Winter is the time when these icky critters seek warm spots to hibernate in. Not too long ago, we had a mouse sneak into our house and it was such a time-consuming hassle. Hopefully, this helpful article can give you ideas to keep these pests away for good! Closets, attics, crawl spaces, and basements are favorite locations that critters like to hang out. We even found our mouse under a stand-up freezer! Yikes! But one [More]
By Christine M. Dionese, L.Ac, MSTOM (NaturalHealth365) Selenium has been shown in recent studies to cut aging persons’ risk of all cancers in half by as much as 50 percent. Consuming adequate amounts of selenium, on a daily basis, has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate and colorectal cancers as well as liver, lung, stomach, thyroid, esophagus and bladder. If you keep up on cancer prevention research, you may already know that the trace mineral selenium is a top anticancer superstar. Highlighted in recent research to reduce atypical cellular division involved in cancer formation, selenium achieves this by [More]
Researchers discover that ginger, an ancient herbal remedy used for cooking and medicinal purposes, supports the regeneration of cellular mitochondria and may reduce the effects of mitochondrial dysfunction A study published in the Journal of Food Science found that ginger extract and gingerol, an active compound found in ginger root, both play a similar role in stimulating the AMPK-PCG1PCG1? pathway, which regulates the process of mitochondrial biogenesis.[i] While further research is warranted, researchers theorize that ginger, considered a potent ancient herbal remedy, could mitigate the effects of aging on mitochondria and significantly reduce or prevent the onset of mitochondrial dysfunction [More]
By Julie Fidler If you think harping on someone about their weight will convince them to drop some pounds, you couldn’t be more wrong. Not only does it not work, but it may also raise their risk for heart disease and other health problems. As someone who has battled the bulge, it seems ridiculous to me that anyone would even think that shaming an obese person would have any positive effect. And as someone who has counseled people in 12-step recovery, I can tell you that pressuring someone or making fun of someone with a weight problem – which is [More]
By Julie Fidler Many people reach for a couple of acetaminophen tablets (acetaminophen is the main active ingredient in Tylenol) for a headache and other minor aches and pains. It’s easy to think that you’re safe taking a drug that is so readily available in pharmacies and supermarkets, but for people with diabetes, taking acetaminophen may increase the risk of having a stroke. According to a recent study, approximately 5% of people who took acetaminophen suffered strokes, compared to 4% who didn’t take acetaminophen but had strokes. However, people in the study who had diabetes suffered even more strokes. Study [More]
By Mike Barrett Here’s something you may not know: tens of millions of people in the United States have been drinking toxic tap water contaminated with unregulated fluoridated chemicals – chemicals which have been linked to cancer, liver and kidney toxicity, hormone disruption, and more. In early 2018, the Environmental Working Group released a report revealing that up to 16 million Americans could be exposed to water contaminated with perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – a class of toxic chemicals that includes perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). The report showed that there is known PFAS pollution from ’94 sites in [More]
By Admin by William B. Grant, PhDOrthomolecular Medicine News Service Research on the effects of vitamin D continued at a strong pace in 2019 with 4541 publications with vitamin D in the title or abstract listed at pubmed.gov for 2019, up from less than 1500 per year prior to 2004. [20] Here I highlight some of the important advances in the understanding of vitamin D’s effects on human health in 2019. The most impactful article in 2019 was the widely reported VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL) at Brigham …read more Source: Health Impact News

From the start, public health agencies enthusiastically promoted HPV vaccination as the “best way to protect [young people] against certain types of cancer later in life.” However, a blistering new study by British researchers—and new data showing that cervical cancer rates are surging in British 25- to 29-year-olds—raise numerous questions about officials’ inflated …read more Source: Health Impact News

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) When you send your child to school, you’re sending them to be educated. You expect your kids to enjoy time with friends, improve their social skills, and get a good education. But, too many parents have been uneducated about the dangers of indoor pollution and how this can affect the learning ability of our kids. Simply put, our kids are being exposed to dangerous levels of toxic pollutants when they head off to school. And, just about every school does little to protect children from these toxins. According to a study published in Environmental [More]
By Tess Pennington During a sudden disaster event, not having access to emergency lighting such as flashlights and candles can make things difficult in the dark. In The Prepper’s Blueprint, we wrote at length how ideal it would be to set up an emergency supply station in the home with emergency items prepped and ready to go. That said, sometimes you can get caught off-guard and will need to be creative. This brings us to the ever-versatile mint tins we all have around the home. Altoid tins are easy to collect and have many uses. You can create an emergency [More]
The chemicals in sunscreens help shield people from the sun’s rays, but they are also absorbed into the body at levels that raise some safety questions, a new study confirms. The study, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is a follow-up to a 2019 investigation. Both reached the same conclusion: The active ingredients in popular sunscreens can be absorbed into the blood at levels that exceed the FDA threshold where they can be presumed safe. However, both the agency and skin cancer experts were quick to stress that there is no proof that sunscreen ingredients cause any harm. [More]
A newly-discovered part of our immune system could be harnessed to treat all cancers, say scientists. The Cardiff University team discovered a method of killing prostate, breast, lung and other cancers in lab tests. The findings, published in Nature Immunology, have not been tested in patients, but the researchers say they have “enormous potential”. Experts said that although the work was still at an early stage, it was very exciting. …read more Source: Sott health news feed     
By Susan Patterson While most Americans have never heard of cucamelons, this fruit is definitely one you’ll want to know a lot more about. Also referred to as “Mexican sour gherkin,” or its most common name in Spanish, “sandiita” (little watermelon). It actually has a slew of other monikers in local dialects and Native American languages, most of which translate to “mouse melon.” This cute fruit is the size of a grape, looks like a mini-watermelon and taste like cucumbers and lime. The sour fruit grows on a thin vine and is surrounded by …read more Source: Natural Living Ideas [More]
By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) There’s significant interest surrounding the uses of stem cell infusion therapies, which are offered both in the United States and around the world. Some studies show that infusions of exosomes – which healthy stem cells secrete naturally – may offer some benefits. These exosomes have certain regenerative properties that can work to restore functional cells required for organ viability and tissue maintenance. However, while many individuals continue to look at the benefits of exosome treatments – which may be out of reach for many people – they often fail to consider some of the [More]

By Dr. Mercola When you think about environmental pollution, your clothing is likely not the first thing to come to mind. However, the clothing industry nears the top of the list of toxic industries that pollute water and expose you to dangerous chemicals used to dye and treat the textiles. According to Rita Kant of the University Institute of Fashion Technology, color is one of the main reasons people choose specific pieces of clothing.1 While there are safe ways to dye clothing, the toxic nature of what is currently used has caused concern. Other chemicals used for a variety of [More]
Pamphlets and booklets proselytizing an animal-free diet for climate mitigation are being distributed to schools at an alarming rate. Keep reading to learn how important it is to speak with your children about agricultural production, livestock, and how there is a responsible and environmentally beneficial way to consume animal products. A child attending an Oregon public school was recently given a booklet called Fight Climate Change With Diet Change. The content of the booklet was completely against consuming animal products, lacking any information about how livestock can be used to build topsoil and sequester carbon. It even went on to [More]
It’s a number everybody knows by heart — our bodies are supposed to be an average 37°C. But that number may be outdated, according to a new analysis of body temperature records going back to 1860. The study suggests the body temperature of the average U.S. man has dropped by 0.6°C since the Civil War, KQED reports. (A similar drop was found in women.) Other studies had already established these newer, lower baselines, blaming faulty thermometers for the discrepancy. …read more Source: Sott health news feed
