We’ve all heard to avoid harmful chemicals when it comes to skincare – but what are the benefits of botanicals, and how can you include them in your daily routine? It’s everywhere. The notion of swapping out toxic chemicals has permeated the entire consumer goods industry, ranging from beauty products to mattresses, and everything in between. But with this increased awareness of what’s in the products we use every day, comes an even greater responsibility for consumers to be able to decipher the ingredient list on their labels. Many synthetic organic chemicals and their replacements are disguised within hard-to-pronounce words

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Whey is a nutrient-rich byproduct of the cheese production process. And, although many people get confused, pure whey protein does NOT have casein – which has been associated with allergies. Widely known for its muscle building capacity, the health benefits of whey protein go way beyond increased muscle strength. In fact, a number of scientific studies clearly show that whey protein consumption is good for the kidneys, intestines and liver – as it helps to easily nourish the body and assist in the elimination of unwanted waste products. Researchers have found that whey helps

By Lisa Egan Stress is a normal part of life. We all experience it at times, no matter how much we may try to avoid it. At best, stress can interfere with your happiness and productivity and at worst, it can disrupt your entire life. Not only can stress be unpleasant, but it can also be a slow killer: It can adversely affect your immune, cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and central nervous systems, especially when it is experienced chronically. Avoiding the common symptoms of stress and stress itself is entirely impossible. Many of the ups and downs of …read more Source: Ready

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating 127 reports of people suffering seizures or other neurological symptoms after using e-cigarettes, the agency announced Wednesday. It remains unclear whether there’s a direct link between vaping and the reported cases of neurological events. “Although we still don’t have enough information to determine if e-cigarettes are causing these reported incidents, we believe it’s critical to keep the public updated on the information we’ve received based on the agency’s initial request for reports earlier this year,” Dr. Ned Sharpless, the acting FDA commissioner, said in a statement Wednesday. “We appreciate the public response

Thirty-five years ago, a young researcher at the University of Delaware conducted a remarkable study. Having spent his childhood sick with kidney disease, in and out of “gloomy, sometimes brutal” hospitals, Roger Ulrich was interested in finding ways to improve “the environments where patients are treated.” So he sought to test the potential influence of an old friend that had brought him comfort as a child: a solitary pine that he could view through the window by his sickbed. “I think seeing that tree helped my emotional state,” he recalled in an interview decades later. That small study would give

“When there were no external records that you could refer to, even the outline of your own life los[es] its sharpness.” – George Orwell, “1984,” Chapter 3, Part I Dear Prole, I hope this missive finds you well. If not, I’ll blame it on yet another act of technofascism. Your rights to be healthy without drugs and speak freely are being thwarted. Alas, a large swath of the general populace will never know their health choices are being eliminated. This is an uphill battle of Sisyphean proportions. A virtual witch hunt. A deletion reminiscent of the Library of Alexandria burning.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Cancer, which claims roughly 630,000 lives a year, remains the second leading cause of death in the United States – right behind heart disease. Sadly, experts say that a startling 90 percent of cancer deaths aren’t a result of the original tumor – but of its dangerous metastasis (or spread) into surrounding tissues and organs. Now, research is highlighting the potential of collagen – the unifying intracellular substance that helps give form and structure to skin, ligaments, cartilage and bones – to help prevent cancer’s invasion. In order to spread, cancer must first …read

By Stephanie Vick, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) You’ve probably noticed the push from doctors – every year – for people to get the flu shot. And, to be blunt, this is a very bad idea, as you’ll soon see. For example, there is little evidence that they actually work to any significant degree. In fact, in 2010, PLoS Medicine published an analysis of Canadian epidemiological studies suggesting that people, who had received a seasonal influenza shot the year before the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, actually had an increased risk of being infected with the pandemic swine flu. Looks like the

By Dr. Mercola Vitiligo is a skin condition that has been around for centuries and has been documented in various historical accounts. The clear cause for vitiligo has not yet been pinpointed because of varying external factors connected to its development. However, it is now being listed as an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks and kills off the cells that are responsible for the production of melanin.1 Some of the earliest documents describing this condition go as far back as 3,000 years ago, some of which are found in Egyptian and Vedic texts. The only problem is that
