By Dr. Mercola For over five years I have warned readers about the dangerous effects of vaping. Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, vape pens and electronic nicotine delivery systems, are marketed as, and widely believed to be, safer than combustible cigarettes. But these newer options may be just as dangerous as their predecessors. For example, e-cigarette devices contain toxic nicotine, heavy metals, fine particulate matter and formaldehyde1 and even threaten bystanders exposed to their second-hand “smoke.”2 Nicotine is always addictive, regardless of its method of delivery, and some e-cigarettes, notably Juul, deliver significantly more nicotine than other cigarettes.3 Juul [More]
By Dr. Mercola Although vitamin D is technically not a vitamin, it is crucial to several important processes in your body. The chemical is a fat-soluble hormone your body makes when your skin is exposed to sunlight. It’s not commonly found in whole food, but is added to some processed foods. It’s also available in supplement form. Since your skin manufactures vitamin D when it’s exposed to certain wavelengths of light found in phototherapy devices and sunlight, it’s known as the sunshine vitamin. In the past years, researchers revealed the important role vitamin D plays in modulating cell growth, optimizing [More]
Sally Norton,1 who has studied nutrition and has a graduate degree in public health, is one of the leading experts on oxalate poisoning — a topic you don’t hear much about. Chances are you may never have heard about oxalates, or have any idea why they might matter. As is often the case with experts in any health field, her expertise is an outgrowth of her personal struggles with health problems that didn’t respond to more conventional treatments, including healthy living (Norton was a vegetarian for 16 years). …read more Source: Sott health news feed     
By Linda Kordich Loveday (NaturalHealth365) Have you ever wondered how to get over a cold fast – without the need for unwanted (toxic) medications? Unfortunately, as people spend more time indoors – away from natural sunlight – the risk of getting a viral infection goes way up – especially during the winter months. Although, for some people, a cold or flu is a rare occurrence. My late husband, Jay Kordich, was one of those people. In fact, for over 30 years, I rarely saw him get a cold and never have a flu virus. Stay with me and …read more [More]
By Dr. Mercola Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin with significant health influence that many don’t get enough of. Your body stores very little of it, so it’s rapidly depleted without regular dietary intake. Common drugs can also deplete vitamin K, making elevated intake even more important. There are many vitamin K-dependent proteins in your body, which are involved in things like blood coagulation, bone metabolism and mineralization of your blood vessels. As you’d suspect, that means vitamin K plays a particularly important role in the prevention of bleeding disorders, osteoporosis and heart disease. There are …read more Source: mercola [More]
By Dr. Mercola Many view over-the-counter (OTC) drugs as safe because they don’t require a prescription. Nothing could be further from the truth. Acetaminophen, for example, (also known as paracetamol and sold under the brand name Tylenol among others) is actually one of the more dangerous drugs you can get your hands on. Despite statistics showing acetaminophen is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S.,1 most people don’t think twice before downing those pills. Acetaminophen is also found in a wide variety of products designed to treat headache, fever and cold symptoms, as …read more Source: mercola [More]
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Time and again, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are cited as potential “solutions” to the world hunger problem. Never mind that many argue GMO foods are nothing more than an economic ploy to feed livestock – not humans – and fill the pockets of Big Agra. Now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that they are indeed preparing to shuttle a genetically modified product to shelves specifically for human consumption. That food is GMO cotton – and it has many calling foul on the concerns over GMO pro and cons. Genetically modified [More]
By Dr. Mercola The humble banana, one of the most popular fruits in the world, is big business. The banana is tasty, inexpensive and comes in its own protective case. The fruit is picked while still green as it’s fully capable of continuing to ripen off the tree. Bananas do best when stored at room temperature since they change color and become mushy when the temperature drops. Although high in vitamin B6, fiber, potassium, manganese and vitamin C, the banana is also high in carbohydrates. If you include this fruit in your diet, take care …read more Source: mercola

Cancer is an awful thing that no one should have to endure; but, sadly, millions do every year. However, we could be a step closer to ensuring no one else has to die from the myriad of cancers that plague the human body.

You may imagine your body clock works to wake you up at the same time each day. True, many people can set their body clocks to wake at a specific time, with a bit of practice that is! However, there’s a lot more to the body clock and circadian rhythm than that. In fact, the body clock and circadian rhythm pretty much determine the quality of your sleep. That means that if your body clock is out of sync, you may suffer sleep disturbances. But there are ways to reset your circadian rhythm. In this article, we take an in-depth [More]
By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Long-term, low-level inflammation is at the root of so many degenerative health conditions currently affecting millions of people. These potentially life-threatening illnesses include heart disease, cancer (the number one and number two causes of death, respectively, in the United States), atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis and over 100 different forms of autoimmune disorders. Studies like this one from MD Anderson Cancer Center, show that the combination of two common nutrients – ginger and curcumin-rich turmeric – may hold the key to quenching chronic inflammation, and fighting the deadly conditions …read more Source: [More]

Do you find yourself staring at your bedroom ceiling most nights? Most people don’t think twice about the occasional sleepless night, but a new set of research finds that the ability to sleep peacefully throughout the night is becoming an increasingly rare skill in the United States. Each year, more and more Americans are finding it difficult to fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly through the night, and even those who are able to get enough shut-eye often report poor overall sleep quality. According to the research team at Iowa State University, these changes are largely independent of sleep duration. [More]

By Sara Tipton Dry onion soup mix is a versatile pantry staple that can be used for soups, dips, casseroles, and even mixed in to add a little oomph to dinners. We like to make our own soup mix because, oftentimes, onion soup that is purchased in grocery stores is laced with harmful preservatives like sulfur dioxide and monosodium glutamate and artificial colors and flavors. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make it at home and you get to control the ingredients used! In fact, there are several advantages to making your own dry soups. If you are frugal, it can [More]

Fans of the blockbuster movie “Iron Man 3” might remember the characters step inside the digital projection of a “big brain” and watch as groups of neurons are “lit up” along the brain’s neural “map” in response to physical touch. Now, much like that scene, researchers at the University of Missouri have discovered a new insight into how the complex neural map of the human brain operates. Similar findings have been previously reported in animal studies, but this is one of the first studies where such a result has been documented in people. “When a person touches something with their [More]
By Admin by GMWatch.org New review shows exposure to the herbicide could have “implications for overall long-term colony survival” A new review of the scientific literature (see abstract below) has found that exposure to glyphosate, the active ingredient in glyphosate herbicides like Roundup, impairs the foraging behaviour of honeybee workers and has adverse effects at different levels within the colony. Key points from the review include: * In 2015, of the 179.9 million ha of global GMO crop area, about …read more Source: Health Impact News     
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Did you realize a whopping 100 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes (which leads to type 2 diabetes), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention? With so many people facing this life-altering condition, it’s no wonder diabetes prevention and treatment are such major areas of public health concern. Unfortunately, most diabetic patients come to realize that metformin and other medications used to “manage” diabetes come with many unwanted side effects like: weakness, vitamin B12 deficiency, and gastrointestinal distress. Yet, even most conventional doctors acknowledge that adopting a healthier lifestyle is one of [More]
In a recently published article entitled, We Have No Reason to Believe 5G is Safe, Scientific American (SciAm) magazine issued a stern warning about the known and potential dangers of 5G technology. Of particular significance is the fact that SciAm is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States, founded by inventor and publisher Rufus M. Porter in 1845, and running monthly since 1921. It is a highly influential publication, widely reputed for its rigorous scientific standards, and lauded by today’s fact-checkers as highly credible and staunchly pro-science.
