By Cory Endrulat Everyday we put trust in people to do the “right” thing. People of all kinds, who eventually may put their belief system onto you. Therefore, it may not just be their own belief system, but your belief of their belief system. As Mike Adams, the health ranger and lab director of CWC Labs has previously described, it is “faith that adds the perception of value to a market that has lost all of its true economic fundamentals.” The same could be said for health or any political belief in the fact that somebody can be told ONE

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) With national rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes continuing to soar, liver disease has been largely ignored by the mainstream media. And, the problem is widespread. In fact, experts say that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) currently affects between 30 and 40 percent of the American population. Shocking, to say the least. Unfortunately, because symptoms of liver disease – in the early stages – can be so mild or unnoticeable, many people don’t even realize they have it. But this ‘silent’ disease can …read more Source: Natural Health 365
By Dr. Mercola Most people today live in a sea of radiofrequencies emitted from wireless technologies of all kinds, from routers to smartphones, tablets, baby monitors, TVs, appliances, smart meters and many more. According to many experts, chronic, heavy exposure could have severe repercussions for our health, especially that of children, who are now exposed even before birth. Research also suggests interaction with social media, games and apps online produces a number of effects, both physical and psychological.

By Mike Barrett The Canadian federal government has launched a new risk assessment for AquaBounty’s new genetically modified (GM) salmon, following the company’s July 2018 announcement that it planned to build a new egg production and grow-out facility in Rollo Bay West, Prince Edward Island (PEI), according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The company has been producing a limited number of eggs at its Bay Fortune, PEI, facility. But now AquaBounty Technologies now plans to produce 250 metric tons of its AquAdvantage salmon for commercial sale both in Canada and abroad. In May 2017, ECCC said that the

By AdminM by Brian ShilhavyEditor, Health Impact News The Ontario Nurses’ Association has won a major victory over St. Michael’s Hospital and eight other Toronto-area hospitals, as labour arbitrator William Kaplan wrote in a 53-page decision that forcing unvaccinated nurses to wear surgical masks during the flu season is a policy that is “insufficient, inadequate, and completely unpersuasive.” Reporter Fred Lum of The Globe and Mail writes: The hospital failed to prove that nurses who didn’t have flu symptoms were a significant source of infection and therefore would be required to wear masks if they weren’t inoculated, …read more Source:

By Dr. Mercola A society that builds its foundations on annual agriculture cannot survive, according to Mark Shepard, CEO of Forest Agriculture Enterprises and founder of New Forest Farm, a 106-acre perennial “agricultural savanna.” In the video above, Shepard speaks to organic farmers not only about his farm but also why annual agriculture is doomed from the start. In short, annuals — which include the grain crops and soy that make up most U.S. farmland — are chemical intensive and enemies of diversity. Eventually, Shepard says, the destruction caused by this type of shortsighted farming, i.e., annual monocropping, will cause

By Dr. Mercola Every year, anywhere from 5 million to 12 million tons of plastic debris enter waterways worldwide, which equates to an estimated 5 trillion pieces of plastic.1 While some of this plastic is in the form of large debris like plastic bottles, six-pack rings and bags, much of it is in the form of tiny particles known as microplastics, which are less than 5 millimeters (mm) in size. Microplastics can come from direct or “primary” sources, such as microbeads used in cosmetics or fibers used in clothing. They can also be secondary microplastics, meaning …read more Source: mercola

By Debbie Wolfe I love the look and smell of real beeswax candles. As a candle lover, I am drawn to the soft, filtering light they emit and, the fragrance. However, as studies show, artificial fragrances can have a negative impact on our health. Commercial candles are full of artificial fragrances. A 2001 EPA study shows that candles with more fragrance in them produce more soot, which can lead to indoor air pollution. One way to steer clear of candles made with artificial fragrances is to burn beeswax candles. Yes, they are quite pricey compared to cheap paraffin …read more

By Mike Barrett One of the top causes of antibiotic resistance is the use of the medicines in livestock. Many factory farms feed animals antibiotics to prevent disease and promote growth. Yet, despite countless warnings that the practice fuels drug-resistant superbugs, it continues to be a serious problem. Thankfully, establishments such as McDonald’s claims to finally be taking more action against widespread antibiotic use. In recent years, the poultry industry has made some progress in reducing unnecessary antibiotic use. In 2015, McDonald’s announced a plan to prohibit its chicken farmers from using antibiotics considered important to human health, and many

By AdminM Why Your Doctor is Wrong About Cholesterol Written by Dr. Joseph Mercola Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in nearly every cell of your body and is essential to good health. It plays a role in hormone production, digestion and the manufacture of vitamin D following sun exposure, and helps protect your cell membranes. As noted by Zoe Harcombe, Ph.D.,1 “It is virtually impossible to explain how vital cholesterol is to the human body. If you had no cholesterol in your body you would be dead.” Your liver manufactures most, about 80 percent, of the cholesterol your body

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) The HPV vaccine – made by Merck (Gardasil) and GlaxoSmithKline (Cervarix) – has been linked to many troubling vaccine side effects, including paralysis. Yet, despite this, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved expansion of its reach to even more recipients. The HPV vaccine was originally developed for adolescents to supposedly help protect them from the HPV virus. Conventionally speaking, this virus can lead to cervical cancer in girls and other cancers of the reproductive system in both boys and girls. (But, there’s more …read more Source: Natural Health 365

But your doctor and nurses are only human, and mistakes can happen.

By everybodysfit The technical term for sneezing is “sternutation”. This involuntary action occurs when the mucus membranes (lining) becomes irritated in the nose and throat. There are a number of triggers that can cause a sneeze. The most common culprits are symptoms arising from a cold, flu, or allergies. Environmental triggers include pollen, dust, strong odors, pepper, powders, change in temperature, pet dander, mold, looking into bright lights, and dry air. The act of sneezing clears the nose of bacteria and viruses. When something foreign enters the nose, the brain signals the throat to close quickly as well as the

Let’s see why this diet can be so good for the heart. Lead study author Shafqut Ahmad, Ph.D., a research fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H.
