By Dr. Mercola The first statin (lovastatin) was approved for use in the U.S. in 1987.1 Fast forward to 2020, just over three decades later, and it’s estimated that total sales for statin drugs will reach $1 trillion.2 Their usage statistics are staggering. Among U.S. adults aged 40 to 59, lipid-lowering drugs such as statins are the second most commonly prescribed drug, being taken by 13.9% of this population. When you tailor this to adults aged 60 to 79, lipid-lowering drugs become the most common prescription, being used by 45% of Americans and 34.3% of Canadians in the same age [More]
U.S. health officials are urging people to avoid e-cigarettes while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigates 450 cases of lung illness and five deaths that may be linked to chemical exposure while vaping. The cases span 33 different states, with deaths confirmed in California, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Oregon, according to the CDC. The disease has not been connected to a specific e-cig device, liquid, pod or cartridge, but officials said all reported cases involve people with a history of vaping. Many of the sufferers said they had been inhaling THC, the primary element of marijuana. It’s unclear [More]
By Mike Barrett If you know you’re not as physically active as you should be, stop thinking about it and start doing something about it. People who view themselves as lazy compared to others are more likely to die at a younger age, even if their actual activity levels were the same. [1] That means people who thought they were less active than their peers likely weren’t reaping the full benefits of exercise, all because of their negative attitude. Lead author Octavia Zahrt, a Stanford PhD student in organizational behavior, says she knows firsthand how negative self-talk and toxic comparisons [More]

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) In the United States, a whopping 4.5 million Americans (per year) are affected by peptic ulcers – lesions that develop in the lining of the stomach or small intestine. And, while Western medicine tends to treat peptic ulcers with an array of drugs – including antibiotics and antacids – these drugs can cause serious side effects. So, what does cabbage juice have to do with all of this? You may be surprised to discover a natural therapy – from nearly 70 years ago – which can offer a drug-free solution for those suffering. …read [More]
Tokyo Electric Power’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which experienced three massive meltdowns in 2011, is running out of room to store radioactive water. No surprise! But now, what to do about phosphorescent water?   Addressing the issue, Japan’s environmental minister Yoshiaki Harada held a news conference (September 2019). Unfortunately, he proffered the following advice: “The only option will be to drain it into the sea and dilute it.” (Source: Justin McCurry in Tokyo, Fukushima: Japan Will Have to Dump Radioactive Water Into Pacific, Minister Says, The Guardian, Sept. 10, 2019)   Read More: Fukushima’s Radioactive Water Crisis – Investment Watch
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Are you or someone you love one of the 40 million Americans living with an anxiety disorder? If you are, we don’t blame you for being frustrated by conventional treatment options.

So, if you’ve wondered if you’ll ever find a natural treatment for your mental health condition, you may want to start with magnesium. In a promising breakthrough, a team of researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial on the effects of magnesium supplementation for depression. Their 2017 paper was [More]
By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Heart disease is the leading cause of death for adults in the United States, claiming more lives every year than all forms of cancer combined. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly 735,000 Americans will suffer a heart attack this year – while 640,000 people will lose their lives to heart disease. Yet, sadly, most people remain uninformed about the dangers of a vitamin C deficiency to the cardiovascular system. In 1985, Linus Pauling – the only person to win two unshared Nobel Prizes – laid out the crucial [More]

What’s more, though it can be frustrating only losing a few pounds at a time, that’s the healthiest way to do it. But it doesn’t have to be as hard as it you think. I’m here to help you NOT give up on your weight loss goals. In the United States, 1 in every 3 people are obese, compared to 1 in 5 just 2 decades ago. But unlike in years past, [More]
By Julie Fidler Most people are aware that fast-food has no redeeming qualities, but never give a second thought to the paper their burgers come wrapped in. But even fast-food packaging can make you sick, as pointed out by research published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. This is yet another example of how fast-food wrappers contain dangerous chemicals – called fluorinated chemicals. [1] Researchers tested 400 fast-food packages from various restaurants in the U.S. and found that more than a third of them contained poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. These chemicals are everywhere – in non-stick pans, pizza [More]
A multinational team of scientists have made a startling, world-first discovery in Russia which could change the lives of tens of millions of people: they accidentally identified a mechanism to neutralize the HIV virus. Originally, the team of Russian, Swiss, British, American and Finnish scientists was developing polysulfur heterocycles to tackle cancer when they suddenly realized the implications of the drug’s mechanism were much bigger than anticipated. “From the very beginning, the most promising direction of the study seemed to us to study the anticancer activity of this class of compounds, but it unexpectedly turned out that such compounds can [More]
By Dr. Mercola “Where would we be without grass?” It’s a question posed in the video above, titled “Grass: The Big Story,” and released by the USDA circa 1950. Grass farming is emerging as necessary to rejuvenate the soil, produce high-quality food and remedy many of the environmental problems caused by industrial agriculture, but while it’s sometimes viewed as a trendy movement, its benefits have been known for decades. It’s a prime example of “what’s old is new again,” in that raising cows on pasture has always been the best method of food production. “I don’t think anyone can stay [More]

By Mike Barrett People relax on sofas and walk across their kitchen floors without giving it a second thought, but a study shows that toxic chemicals used in furniture and vinyl flooring to make them fire-resistant could be poisoning children. [1] The problem is most prevalent in public housing where scientists say children have toxin levels in their blood and urine up to 15 times higher than those who aren’t exposed. The flame-retardant chemicals, called PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers), are linked to neurodevelopmental delays, obesity, endocrine and thyroid disruption, cancer, and other diseases.

In the grips of his alcohol addiction, David Reichmann was told by his doctor that he would be dead within a year. “I’d suffered two minor strokes, but it didn’t stop me from going to hotels every night and drinking until stumps. Then I’d take a bottle of bourbon home with me,” the 53-year-old Victorian father of two said. He would keep a bottle of whiskey next to his bed, but if he couldn’t afford spirits that week, he’d mix methylated spirits with soft drink. “I couldn’t keep down a morning coffee,” he said. “I’d have to have alcohol to [More]
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) No doubt, these days, it’s all too common for people to be suffering with a vitamin D deficiency and/or thyroid disorder. But, why is this happening and, more importantly, what has to change – immediately. First, let’s ask a few important questions: Are you overweight or obese? Do you spend a lot of time indoors and always slap on sunscreen when you go outside? And, perhaps most importantly, do you live in a higher latitude location? If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions – you’re at a higher risk of a [More]
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The data is in: you can’t make a cookbook full of heart healthy recipes without including nuts. In fact, eating raw nuts have long been recognized as a smart way to reduce the risk of a heart attack – due to the healthy fats, protein, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols and fiber found inside. But, now, recent research reveals the power of this plant-based nutrition. And, to state the obvious, everyone will benefit from this news, especially those with a family history of heart disease – a condition that’s responsible for 1 in 4 annual deaths [More]

By Dr. Mercola Optimizing vitamin D levels may be a simple way to reduce some Parkinson’s disease symptoms, including falls, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, according to a study that compared 182 patients with Parkinson’s and 185 healthy people without the disease.1 It’s previously been shown that vitamin D deficiency is common in people with Parkinson’s disease, and this study found no different. Those with Parkinson’s had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to those without. Further, Parkinson’s patients with lower vitamin D levels also fell and suffered from insomnia more often, while also being more likely to struggle with [More]

By Dr. Mercola Optimism is associated with greater physical and mental health, and one reason why could be linked to its role in promoting better sleep. In a study of 3,548 people, those who were the most optimistic enjoyed higher quality sleep, hinting at the importance of a positive outlook in getting a good night’s rest.1 While the reason why optimism leads to better sleep wasn’t revealed by this study, the researchers, from the University of Illinois, suggested it could be due to buffering the effects of stress, leading to better coping mechanisms. In other words, optimists may spend less [More]
By Dr. Mercola In this short video, Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., a biomedical scientist and researcher with the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences in La Jolla, California, discusses the science behind the mood-lifting effects of exercise.1 Indeed, many experts agree that exercise is one of the most powerful tools available for the prevention and management of depression. For example, a meta-analysis2 published in 2016, which looked at 23 randomized controlled trials in which exercise was used as treatment for unipolar depression, found that, compared to no intervention, exercise “yielded a large and significant effect …read more Source: mercola
