By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) We’re all aware of the importance of regular exercise and physical activity for a healthy life. Now a collaborative study out of Shandong University in China, the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and the University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston has found the benefits of higher intensity activity for short periods include a profound impact on reducing mortality. This observational study included tens of thousands of people age 40 and over who had participated in health surveys. The results clearly demonstrated a link between lowered death risk and physical activity. Early death from cardiovascular [More]
It’s well-known that breastfed babies tend to be healthier than babies given a bottle filled with formula, especially in their first year of life, and the benefits are numerous. What’s more, the longer a baby is breastfed, the more far-reaching the health effects are throughout their lives. The developing field of stem cell biology is being used by scientists to differentiate the types of cells derived from breast milk. While there are innumerable studies on the advantages mothers offer their children when they choose to breastfeed, one discovery in the last decade concerns the millions of immune cells known as [More]
By Dr. Serge Gregoire May is World Lyme Disease Awareness Month and we certainly need to increase awareness of the disease in the US. According to the EPA, the incidence of Lyme disease in the United States is spreading fast (1). It has in all areas of the country now and predictions are that one in 100 people will get the disease by 2020 (2). There have been several cases of misdiagnosed Lyme’s disease reported in the media recently. One young lady in Fresno was eventually diagnosed with Lyme disease, but unfortunately it was too late and she passed away [More]
By Dr. Mercola Letting teenagers know they’re being manipulated by food marketers may be a deceptively simple way to encourage healthier eating, according to research from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.1 Many of the leading chronic diseases threatening human health, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, are the result of poor dietary choices. These dietary habits may start in childhood, in part due to pervasive and carefully orchestrated advertisements from the junk food industry. Teenagers are among those who are heavily targeted by food manufacturers, and public health researchers have long been looking for ways to [More]
By Susan Patterson The Finger Lime tree (sometimes referred to as Caviar Lime) is native to Australia and true to its common name, the small elongated fruit is the size and shape of a fat finger. If it’s not yet as popular as it should be, that’s not for any lack of demand. The production of this gourmet item just cannot keep up with the demand in culinary circles. This is one good reason to grow your own. This small citrus species is cherished for its tiny, juice-filled pearl-like vesicles, which give it the epithet ‘lime caviar.’ They may be [More]
By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Cancer, second only to heart disease as the leading cause of death in the United States, kills 600,000 people a year. And, while Western medicine attempts to treat lethal cancers with chemotherapy and radiation, these treatments feature severe side effects that may – themselves – be life-threatening. Today, we’ll take a closer look at how pomegranate fights cancer naturally. With its pleasing flavor – a refreshing blend of tart and sweet – and its eye-catching bright red color, pomegranate juice might seem more like a tasty indulgence than a therapeutic tool against disease. However, [More]
Comment: For the first installment, see: Vaccination: Do your own research, exercise due diligence and reserve judgment In Part 1 we looked at some of the evidence which casts doubt upon the common narratives asserted by those who unquestioningly support all vaccines. This included evidence that vaccines had minimal impact upon the eradication of Smallpox, that claims of Poliovirus being ‘defeated’ by vaccines are dubious and that improvements in public health practices were far more influential in the overall reduction of disease than vaccines appear to have been. We looked at the lack of evidence to support the hypothesis of [More]
By Mike Barrett Adopting a Mediterranean-style diet may help protect your brain as you age, numerous studies show. [1] At least 2 studies concluded that people’s risk for dementia declined when they ate the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurogenerative Delay (MIND) diet. Think of it as sort of a hybrid of the original Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diets, both of which were designed to improve heart health. The DASH diet consists of foods that are low in saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol, and is intended to lower blood pressure. It is rich in fruits, [More]
By Julie Fidler A study published in the journal JAMA showed once again that levels of glyphosate, the main ingredient in the popular herbicide Roundup, in human urine have increased dramatically among Californians in the past 20 years. [1] For the study, urine samples were collected from 100 Southern California residents over the age of 50 from 1993-1996, to 2014-2016. Paul Mills, professor of family medicine and public health at the University of California San Diego, and a team of researchers found that the percentage of people who tested positive for glyphosate skyrocketed 500% during that period. The levels of [More]

By Dr. Mercola Using antibiotics for an extended period of time during middle-age or later may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in women. The finding comes from a study published in the European Heart Journal, which revealed women aged 60 and over who used antibiotics for two months or longer had significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke, compared to women who did not.1 According to a press release2 by the researchers, the results held true even after adjusting for other related factors, like obesity, other chronic diseases and diet and lifestyle. Antibiotic exposure leads [More]
By Julie Fidler Cold sores are a common problem that few people pay much attention to. Doctors tend to be unconcerned about them, too, and consider them to be little more than a nuisance. But one study shows a surprising link between one of the viruses that causes cold sores and the occurrence of immune cells that can damage the arteries around the heart. While most people associate cold sores with the herpes simplex virus, the cytomegalovirus can also cause the unattractive sores and is in fact very similar to the herpes virus. The immune system normally controls cytomegalovirus and [More]
More U.S. adults are dying from heart failure today than a decade ago, and the sharpest rise in mortality is happening among middle-aged and younger adults, a new study suggests. Researchers examined data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on deaths from heart failure between 1999 and 2017 among adults 35 to 84 years old. Between 1999 and 2012, annual heart failure death rates dropped from 78.7 per 100,000 people to 53.7 per 100,000, the researchers found. But then mortality rates started to climb, reaching 59.3 fatalities for every 100,000 people by the end of the [More]
By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) With over 700 cases reported throughout the nation – and with hundreds of students and staff members currently under quarantine at two California universities – the United States is facing its worst outbreak of measles in close to 20 years. Other contagious (viral) diseases – including mumps and chickenpox – appear to be making comebacks as well. With the resurgence of these diseases, the need for non-toxic, inexpensive and effective therapies has never been more important. Forward-thinking physicians and researchers have long maintained that high-dose, vitamin C therapies can help fill this bill, combating [More]
Attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Children’s Health Defense’s Chairman and Chief Legal Counsel, finally has “put on the gloves” and is ready to fight Big Pharma’s Merck & Co., Inc. regarding the falsified and fraudulent research they undertook and presented to the CDC/FDA for the licensure of the HPV vaccine Gardasil®.   After reading the transcript of Mr. Kennedy’s video, I could not help but spotlight some of the more apparently shocking facts he and his team uncovered in their exposé of the fraud that apparently took place during Merck’s testing of the Gardasil® vaccine.   Much of the information below is taken from [More]

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Most parents are never told how childhood oral infections can affect the health of the arteries. Today, we’ll explain how this happens and, more importantly, what you can do to prevent damage to your child’s cardiovascular system. Atherosclerosis, a narrowing and hardening of the arteries, slowly and silently results in blockages that can eventually lessen or cut off blood flow. It’s a common cause of stroke, heart attack, and peripheral vascular disease – together known as heart disease. And, while we already know that atherosclerosis is largely preventable, one new study suggests that the [More]
By Admin A Report by U.S. PIRG Education Fund Written by Kara Cook, U.S. PIRG Education FundDOWNLOAD THE REPORT Most of us take it for granted that the food and drinks we buy from the store are not putting our health at risk. However, new research from public health groups and scientists from the past several years indicates that food and drinks are contaminated with glyphosate, the main ingredient in the weed killer Roundup. This is a potential health problem because in 2015 the World Health Organization found that glyphosate is a probable …read more Source: Health Impact News

After all, who would make such a claim, let alone a cardiologist. Here is the proof to back it up. A study from 2015 in the journal Atherosclerosis found that men had 29% fewer heart attacks and 17% fewer strokes if they had a history of childhood measles and mumps. Women suffered less events as well, but not to the same extent. According to the CDC, an estimated 790,000 [More]
05/16/19   An Ebola epidemic in a conflict-riven region of Democratic Republic of Congo is out of control and could become as serious as the outbreak that devastated three countries in west Africa between 2013 and 2016, experts and aid chiefs have warned.   New cases over the past month have increased at the fastest rate since the outbreak began last year, as aid agencies struggle to enact a public health response in areas that have suffered decades of neglect and conflict, with incredibly fragile health systems and regular outbreaks of deadly violence involving armed groups.   “I’m very concerned [More]
By Mike Barrett Air pollution limits set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are too high, needlessly contributing to disease. In fact, by making them stricter, more than 100,000 people in the U.S. might avoid developing Type 2 diabetes each year. [1] Air pollution was found to have contributed to 3.2 million new diabetes cases in 2016 alone – 14% of the worldwide total. Pollution was linked to 150,000 cases in the United States per year. Additionally, the study found that 8.2 million years of healthy life were lost in 2016 due to pollution-linked diabetes. [2] Senior study author [More]
By Dr. Mercola While cholesterol has been vilified as something that should be as low as possible to prevent heart disease, it’s actually a crucial component for good health and too low a level can have serious repercussions for your health. Cholesterol is found not only in your bloodstream but also in every cell in your body, and is necessary for the production of cell membranes, virtually every steroid hormone, vitamin D and bile acids that help you digest fat. Cholesterol also plays an important role in the formation of memories and is vital for healthy neurological function. For example, [More]
