On June 22, 2017, Alec Raeshawn Smith, a recently promoted restaurant manager with Type 1 diabetes, left his local pharmacy empty-handed. He’d gone in to pick up a month’s worth of insulin supplies, which he assumed would set him back around $1000 — the amount he and his mother Nicole Smith-Holt had budgeted the month before when he turned 26 and, under Obamacare rules, had to drop off her insurance coverage. For Alec, that price was already steep: Even with his promotion, he was making $35,000 a year with no benefits. He and Smith-Holt had combed through Minnesota’s Obamacare marketplace

As readers of this blog will know, my primary area of interest is cardiovascular disease, which a big and complex subject, where anyone questioning the ‘conventional’ ideas gets ruthlessly attacked. However, in comparison to the area of vaccination, the battles in cardiovascular disease pale into insignificance. Mere squabbles in the nursery. I am a member of an on-line doctors’ community in the UK called Doctors Net. Not open to the public. Whenever any story about vaccination emerges, the vitriol, anger and naked rage is quite scary to observe. Whenever the issue of MMR raises its head on Doctors Net, doctors

Lyme Disease. Do you have it? If you did, you probably would not know, unless you’re one of the chronic sufferers that had to visit over 30 doctors to get properly diagnosed. Lyme disease tests are highly inaccurate. They’re often inconclusive or false negative. That’s because this clever bacteria has found a way to dumb down the immune system and white blood cells, so it is not detectable until treatment is initiated. To diagnose Lyme properly you must see a “Lyme Literate MD (LLMD)”, however, more and more doctors are turning their backs on patients due to sheer fear of

By Dr. Mercola During the summer months many take to the local swimming pools to cool off and enjoy time with family and friends. Families may spend time teaching their youngsters the life-saving skill of swimming1 or just hours splashing around and playing games in the water. However you spend your time in or near water, you don’t have to leave with more than you arrived with. Unfortunately, public swimming pools and hot tubs may be hotbeds of unwanted activity.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cope with a number of troubling symptoms, including painful abdominal pain, bloating and cramping. But research shows enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules – because of peppermint’s calming, relaxing effects on the stomach – can effectively eliminate many of the symptoms of IBS. While IBS does not increase the risk of colon cancer or cause changes in the bowel tissue the way irritable bowel disease can, its symptoms can be very painful and interfere with normal daily activities. So, why not try peppermint – which offers a natural approach

When medical scientists propagate a false hypothesis, two things happen, and both of them are bad. First, the wrong idea causes direct harm to those who adopt practices based on that incorrect hypothesis. Second, the wrong idea suppresses any attempts to discover the correct hypothesis. Such suppression occurs as a result of (enforced) scientific consensus. Anyone who dares to question the false but agreed-upon hypothesis is labeled a “hypothesis skeptic” or “hypothesis denier.” Very soon, that individual finds herself a scientific pariah, shunned and publicly humiliated by her colleagues, no longer able to secure research funding. In this way skeptics

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Those in the medical community who have dismissed natural approaches to prevent cancer would have us believe it’s just ‘wishful thinking.’ Yet, many people are becoming increasingly aware of the growing avalanche of scientific evidence supporting the anticancer benefits of vitamin C. Widely recognized as a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C has been the subject of nearly 6,000 scientific studies, published in PubMed, examining its role in cancer prevention or therapy, although for the most part, the medical community continues to rely almost entirely on invasive and dangerous treatments, such as radiation, surgery and chemotherapy.

By Contributing Author Wheat is one of those staples that’s been getting a bad rap lately. With the current diet trends leaning toward eating carbohydrates, wheat and bread aren’t on the radar of many gardeners. But there are some benefits to growing it, especially if you select the “hard red spring wheat.” Hard red spring wheat is planted in early spring and yields a bigger harvest than the hard winter spring wheat. HRS wheat also packs in more protein! And you don’t even have to cook this wheat once you’ve harvested it! Just toss some right on your salad and

By Sarah Garone Not too long ago, when most of us thought of milk, it was impossible to picture anything but the creamy white substance that comes from a cow. These days, however, there’s a wide, wide world of “milks” on the market that have nothing to do with animals. Plant-based milks have become an extremely popular alternative to traditional dairy in the last several years. In fact, consumer interest is at an all-time high, with a 61 percent increase in non-dairy milk sales from 2012 to 2018. With their interchangeability with cow’s milk in many recipes and food preparations,

By Dr. Mercola A number of food tests reveal contamination is a significant problem, and while authorities insist levels are unlikely to do any harm, they’re talking about contaminants found in any one given food — not the levels you might be exposed to by eating them all in combination, every day of the year for a lifetime. Common contaminants found in food include herbicides and pesticides, drugs, heavy metals and environmental contaminants such as dioxins, PCBs and the flame retardant PFOA. Most recently, tests conducted by Emory University researchers and The …read more Source: mercola

Yes, it is a bit unconventional but imagine how much food you could produce even in the smallest of front yards.
