By Dr. Mercola Hippocrates once said that “all disease begins in the gut,”1 and the more we learn, the more accurate that statement proves to be. As noted in a 2018 paper:2 “While often-quoted figures suggest that the microbes that live in and on the human body outnumber human cells by 10:1, a more recent estimate suggests that we are essentially one part human to one part microbe in terms of cell number.3 These commensal microorganisms have a vital role in human health. They break down otherwise indigestible dietary fibres and other components of food, produce …read more Source: mercola

By Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD (NaturalHealth365) Fatigue and depression are at epidemic levels in modern society. Today, I ask you, could gluten allergies (toxicity) be causing so many of today’s health problems? While I make great efforts to keep up on the current medical literature, my efforts consistently fall short of the mark. It seems that every few months I make my own personal “discovery” of significant medical information that has escaped me while having long been familiar to many of my fellow docs. In particular, I would like to inform all health-seekers about two very important books. And

By Dr. Mercola Although the exact origin of garlic (Allium sativum) is not known, it’s believed to be a native of middle Asia, likely from West China.1 As a medical remedy it’s been used since 2700 B.C. to treat numerous afflictions, from depression to rheumatism to coughs and more, and the journey it’s taken has touched nearly every major civilization. For example, the Egyptians fed it to slaves to give them strength and endurance; Hippocrates used it as for breathing problems and tumors;2 Pliny the Elder liked it for joint diseases and seizures; Easterners used it to treat diarrhea —

The evidence is too weak to justify telling individuals to eat less beef and pork, according to new research. The findings “erode public trust,” critics said. Public health officials for years have urged Americans to limit consumption of red meat and processed meats because of concerns that these foods are linked to heart disease, cancer and other ills. But on Monday, in a remarkable turnabout, an international collaboration of researchers produced a series of analyses concluding that the advice, a bedrock of almost all dietary guidelines, is not backed by good scientific evidence. …read more Source: Sott health news feed

By Admin by GMWatch.org Object now! Oxitec is proposing to release its genetically modified (GM) OX5034 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the US states of Florida and Texas. The EPA has opened a public comment period. Oxitec’s application says, “Female offspring of the OX5034 mosquitoes in the environment are expected to die before they mature into adults and therefore exposure to biting female mosquitoes is not anticipated.” However, experience with another strain of Oxitec mosquito, OX513A, shows that Oxitec’s claims that its GM mosquitoes are self-limiting are <a target=_blank href="https://gmwatch.org/en/news/latest-news/19144" …read more Source: Health Impact News
By Sara Tipton With the changing season, our immune systems will have to work harder to fight off illnesses. This is partly due to our bodies getting less sunlight and vitamins, as well as several other factors. In the winter, the cold temperatures can suppress the immune system making it more difficult to fight off a cold or the flu. Add that to the fact that the sun’s low angle makes for less vitamin D being absorbed by the body, and that’s often why people get sicker more often this time of year. Make sure you know the signs of

By Jessica Butler, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) In the past several years, breastfeeding has earned the national spotlight (again) as the preferred method of feeding babies. Scientists and doctors alike have realized that their ideas of competing with human milk – using synthetic substitutes or formulas – were not going to be as successful. Although commercial baby formulas make a feeble attempt at replicating many of the nutrients found within breast milk, researchers continually find more benefits to breast milk in its natural form that stretch beyond nutrient intake. Pregnant women need to know the truth about breastfeeding ”Mother’s milk, time-tested

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Medicinal mushrooms are considered an important part of traditional diets around the world, adding a subtle flavor to a variety of dishes. However, more recently, scientists have uncovered the many healing aspects such as, an excellent source of antioxidants, prebiotics plus a wide variety of antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating agents. Why does this matter? Well, with cancer being one of the leading causes of death on a global scale, current anti-cancer drugs do a poor job (at best) in helping the body to avoid dis-ease. This is exactly why more and more research is

By Dr. Mercola In the U.S., most poultry that comes from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is washed in a strong chlorine or other antimicrobial solution as a way to kill pathogens.1 The chlorine rinses or sprays are intended to act as antimicrobials that reduce Salmonella and other common causes of foodborne illness. The EU, however, does not use chlorine washes on its chicken and wants no part of America’s “chlorinated chicken” either — it has banned U.S. chicken imports since 1997 due to the practice of chlorine washing. The concern isn’t necessarily due to the chlorine wash itself, but

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Just about everyone knows that sugary beverages not only destroy weight loss plans, but also trigger negative health effects. Unfortunately, as a replacement for sugar-laced beverages, too many people still turn to soda with artificial sweeteners – with the hope of cutting out “empty calories.” However, there’s a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests it’s a really bad move. Excessive sugar consumption continues to be a problem in the Western diet, contributing to health conditions like diabetes, obesity plus much more. However, while diet soda and other diet drinks are popular, one new

By Elizabeth Waddington A garden should be a private, secure and peaceful place. In this article, we will examine how you can use fast growing shrubs and bushes for creating privacy. Successful garden design takes into account how an outside space operates as an ecosystem but also how well it works for human inhabitants. Creating privacy can be an important consideration, especially in more built-up urban environments. High walls and high fences, however, are not the only option. Choosing the right planting plan is also important. Sensible, sustainable garden design takes the future into account as well as the present.

By Sara Tipton As people turn away from taking pills and the pharmaceutical companies’ side effect-riddled remedies, many look to herbal tinctures as a more natural and holistic approach their health. While the benefits of herbal tinctures are many, they often don’t taste all that appealing, so here are three easy ways to remedy that small problem! If you are looking to reap the benefits of medicinal plants, it wouldn’t hurt to take a look at herbal tinctures. Tinctures are a higher potency compared with herbal teas, and therefore, have a faster reaction time once ingested. What is a tincture?

In addition to emissions from cell phones, we are exposed to radiation from cell phone towers, wireless networks, laptops, routers and “smart” meters. And, experts say that things are about to get even worse. The imminent rollout of 5G wireless technology – which will involve a massive increase in the number of small cell towers in residential neighborhoods – will take radiation to a whole …read more

By Dr. Mercola Suicide was the second leading cause of death among 15- to 29-year-olds in 2016, according to sobering data from the World Health Organization.1 Only road injuries claimed more lives in this age group. Further, nearly 800,000 people take their own life worldwide every year, with 79% of suicides taking place in low- and middle-income countries, WHO reported. However, high-income countries had the highest rate of suicide, at 11.5 per 100,000 people.2 WHO first called on countries to implement suicide prevention strategies five years ago with the publication of their first global report on suicide.
