Proof The Bible Is True

A brief bout of insomnia can be maddening. You know what it feels like. We all do. Lying awake chasing feverish thoughts from our minds while the slow tick of passing minutes compounds sleep-stealing anxiety. For most of us, these episodes are a brief interruption to our sleep schedules. Others experience more persistent insomnia, but at a level that’s often manageable. But for a very rare group of people with a frightening disease called fatal familial insomnia (FFI), the sleep loss can be deadly. When Sleep Deprivation Kills Medical reports of the disease first surfaced in the 1980s, after an [More]

By Thomasina Copenhaver If you were a woman with painful, cystic breasts who lived in the 1800’s—your doctor might have advised you to “paint your breasts” with iodine. Some doctors even injected iodine directly into the breasts or ovaries to heal cysts. Your doctor may have heard about it by word of mouth from the women he treated. Imagine how difficult word of mouth was back then—long before fast transportation and instant messaging. Yet—this was real evidenced based medicine—shared for free by women who cared about each other. And you can bet—if it didn’t work—those same women would have told [More]

By Dr. Mercola Mitochondria are the power generators of your cells. These small structures, located within each cell, transfer electrons from fat and sugars to oxygen and generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the energy “currency” of your body.1 Mitochondria have two ATP-producing membranes that allow the storage of energy as ATP like batteries and are literally where we get our vim and vigor. The well-being of your whole mitochondria system can determine whether or not you develop many chronic diseases, including cancer. As I have often noted, your mitochondrial function can be improved through ketogenic diets that force your [More]

By Dr. Mercola 1 Recent research suggests many nutrient deficiencies around the world could be effectively addressed and resolved by: Providing free supplements via global aid organizations Fairer fish trade, allowing more fish to be consumed by locals Recent research suggests many nutrient deficiencies could be resolved by eating more seafood, and retaining more of the local fish catches for the local population rather than exporting them.

By Dr. Mercola Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer found in the U.S., and the most common of those are basal and squamous cell cancers.1 Although death from these types is uncommon,2,3 the consequences of treatment may be disfiguring. Despite recommendations for people to stay out of the sun and use sunscreen, current estimates4 are that the lifetime risk for skin cancer is 20% for Americans. Approximately 9,500 skin cancers are diagnosed every day. But, sensible sun exposure, while taking care to avoid getting burned, is one of the best ways to optimize your vitamin D level. [More]

By Tess Pennington When emergencies happen, many of us use these experiences as a testing ground to evaluate our supplies, take inventory, and see if we are mentally equipped for the stressors of an emergency. Taking this a step further is talking and bouncing ideas off of the preparedness community. The preparedness community is a unique and special group of people; we look out for one another, we support one another, and ultimately, we learn from one another. As many of you know, a major grid-down event occurred last week in California. Our electric company was anticipating strong winds in [More]

How fast people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains, as well as their bodies, are ageing, scientists have suggested. Using a simple test of gait speed, researchers were able to measure the ageing process. Not only were slower walkers’ bodies ageing more quickly – their faces looked older and they had smaller brains. The international team said the findings were an “amazing surprise”. …read more Source: Sott health news feed

A bit of sun might help diversify the bugs in your gut, a study published Thursday suggests. Brief exposure to ultraviolet rays not only bumps up vitamin D levels, but could also lead to a more varied collection of gut bacteria, according to the Frontiers in Microbiology study. On the surface, sunlight and gut microbes seem to have nothing in common — after all, your gut bacteria are unlikely to find themselves catching some rays. …read more Source: Sott health news feed     

If you suffer from neck pain, you’re not alone. Spinal pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and its occurrence has increased dramatically over the past 25 years. While most episodes of neck pain are likely to get better within a few months, half to three-quarters of people who have neck pain will experience repeated episodes of pain. It’s often said there are “good and bad postures” and that specific postures can contribute to spinal pain but this belief is not supported by scientific evidence. Indeed, research shows that poor sleep, reduced physical activity and increased stress [More]

By Dr. Mercola In this short video health coach Christine Smith, Ph.D., succinctly describes the necessary role choline plays in your health and wellness. Choline was discovered in 1862, but it was 1998 before the Institute of Medicine declared it an essential nutrient for optimal health. Unfortunately, 90% of the U.S. population does not consume enough of it, likely since popular dietary guidelines limit consumption of the richest dietary sources. Many are still unaware of the biological importance choline plays and it may be one of the least likely nutrients to be recommended. Choline is not a vitamin or mineral, [More]

The U.S. winter flu season is off to its earliest start in more than 15 years. An early barrage of illness in the South has begun to spread more broadly, and there’s a decent chance flu season could peak much earlier than normal, health officials say. The last flu season to rev up this early was in 2003-2004 — a bad one. Some experts think the early start may mean a lot of suffering is in store, but others say it’s too early to tell. “It really depends on what viruses are circulating. There’s not a predictable trend as far [More]

You don’t have to grab for those hot, devitalizing meals and suffer from lethargy, digestive issues as well as losing your motivation to keep your body moving during these colder months any longer.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) While its symptoms may seem easy to ignore, gingivitis can cause serious health problems, if left untreated. Over time, gingivitis can develop into gum disease, ravaging surrounding mouth tissue and bone. Also known as periodontitis, this advanced gum disease condition can often cause a loss of teeth and be the “seed” to many other health issues. For example, periodontitis – and poor oral health in general – has been linked with life-threatening conditions like a heart attack, lung disease and stroke. It’s also suspected that pregnant women suffering from periodontitis are more likely …read [More]

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) According to a recently-published study in the World Journal of Hepatology, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease – or NAFLD – has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. And the disease is particularly entrenched in the United States, with researchers estimating that up to 35 percent of American adults are affected. While mild forms of NAFLD may feature no symptoms, untreated NAFLD can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a more serious condition that causes inflammation and scarring. Even more troublingly, researchers predict that complications from liver disease will constitute the leading cause of liver transplants by 2020. However, nonalcoholic [More]

By Dr. Mercola Statistics from the American Heart Disease 2019 update shows cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of death, although the rate decreased by 18.6% from 2006 to 2016.1 Despite this reduction, 1.05 million people were expected to have a coronary event in 2019, including 720,000 first time and 335,000 recurrent events. Nearly every 40 seconds someone has a heart attack or a stroke. In 2014-2015 the annual financial burden for CVD was estimated at $351.2 billion. In the survey, the data showed awareness of the symptoms of a heart attack was low.2 This has a negative [More]

By Sara Tipton When we found out that a reaction our daughter was having in late summer was due to dairy consumption, we immediately stopped purchasing anything with any dairy in it whatsoever. But then my quest for a good dairy-free cheese began, and after multiple tries, I think I’ve found one the whole family will love and wanted to share it with you! Dairy can cause many reactions, and as our daughter’s doctor said: “many kids are sensitive, they and their parents just don’t know it.” That means their little bodies are getting inflamed, but never to the point [More]

Human breast milk is more than a meal – it’s also a clock, providing time-of-day information to infants. The composition of breast milk changes across the day, giving energizing morning milk a different cocktail of ingredients than soothing evening milk. Researchers believe this “chrononutrition” may help program infants’ emerging circadian biology, the internal timekeeper that allows babies to distinguish day from night. What happens, though, when babies drink milk that does not come directly from the breast, but is pumped at different times of day and stored in advance of feeding? Scientists have rarely considered the potential effects of “mistimed” [More]
