By Stephanie Larken, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) While the planet’s surface is over 70 percent water, only 2.5 percent of that water is considered ‘fresh”, making potable H2O one of the most prized resources on earth.

By Dr. Mercola When you see a certified organic food at your local supermarket, a variety of standards likely come to mind. You probably assume the food is free from pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but beyond that may also expect that it was produced with the highest levels of quality and integrity, for instance, allowing animals access to pasture, fresh air and sunlight. Such assumptions are not always accurate, unfortunately, as there is a wide range of quality among organic products, and these quality discrepancies may be — at least partly — to blame on the integrity (or

In the meantime, medical marijuana dispensaries have an increasing array of products available for pain, anxiety, sex and more. The glass counters and their jars of products in the dispensary resemble an 18th century pharmacy. Many strains for sale have evocative and magical names like Blue Dream, Bubba Kush and Chocolope. But what does it all mean? Are there really differences in the medical qualities of the various strains? Or, are the different

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Cardiac arrest kills more than 475,000 Americans every year, according to the American Heart Association. But, what most people don’t even consider is how blood pressure medicine could be a big part of the problem.

Unfortunately, most cardiac arrests don’t occur in a hospital, and they’re considered one of the deadliest public health problems facing our country today. Cardiac arrest takes place when your heart stops pumping blood
