By AdminM by Paul Fassa Health Impact News A group of New York City’s Mt. Sinai Medical School researchers set out to analyze why and how coconut oil affects Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients favorably. They acknowledged some efficacy from coconut oil, and they wanted to know more. Since most drug trials to develop an Alzheimer’s drug have failed miserably, the motivation to study coconut oil in order to understand how it positively affects AD was probably motivated by a desire to patent a new drug that could work similar to coconut oil, a natural food that cannot be patented. Their [More]
By Dr. Mercola In Great Britain, 0.7 percent of all milk sold is raw. It may not sound like a lot, until you consider that it can only be sold on the farm. The fact is that people value raw milk and are willing to seek it out for a multitude of reasons — health, taste, animal welfare and the environment, for example — even if doing so requires more than a simple trip to the grocery store. You may also consider raw milk to be a thing of the past, something that was consumed out of necessity because pasteurization [More]
By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) It’s been well-established that low vitamin D levels can jeopardize health, leading to immune system malfunctions and a higher risk of cancer. However, recent research on vitamin D – out of the University of California San Diego – has found that getting enough vitamin D is crucial to preventing type 2 diabetes in around 80 percent of cases. Can you imagine how much money we would save on healthcare costs – if we just had sufficient vitamin D levels throughout society? Type 2 diabetes …read more Source: Natural Health 365     
By Admin Dr Caius Rommens. Image source. GMO potatoes: The risks to health Dr Caius Rommens developed GMO potatoes, but subsequently renounced his work. He explains why we should be wary of the products he created by GMWatch.org Excerpts: Dr Caius Rommens developed GMO potatoes for the Idaho-based agbiotech company Simplot. The chief genetic modification he introduced was to silence the potatoes’ melanin (PPO) gene. This gene, when operative, causes potatoes to discolour when bruised. The GMO potatoes do not discolour when bruised. They have therefore been marketed as bruise-resistant and are being sold without GMO labels in …read more [More]

By Lindsay Sheehan Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are calcified bits of debris that can get lodged in the crevices of your tonsils. They are made up of dead cells, mucus, bacteria, and food particles. Once trapped in the folds of your tonsils, they harden into yellowish stones. While tonsil stones may not exhibit obvious symptoms, one major indication you might have them is recurrent, foul-smelling breath. Larger tonsil stones can cause sore throat, pain when swallowing, ear aches, swollen tonsils, headaches, and a metallic or bad taste in the mouth or in the back of the throat. How [More]
By Dr. Mercola You’ve probably heard that your appendix is a useless organ, an artifact from our ancient past when early humans had to digest tree bark and other fibrous materials.1 However, modern medical science has again proven your body does not contain superfluous organs that serve no useful function. Unfortunately, the idea that your appendix is little more than a nuisance and potential health risk has led to the routine removal of this organ. Many doctors will even suggest prophylactic removal of the appendix when you’re having some other abdominal surgery done. As noted in a 2017 paper:2 …read [More]
By Susan Patterson Ah, there is nothing like a piping hot bowl of oatmeal on a chilly winter morning. The warm oats fill your belly and heart, giving you the nutrients and the energy to make it till lunch. Oatmeal has long been heralded as a potent superfood but is often overshadowed by more flashy ingredients such as coconut oil and kale. While drinking a green smoothie, jam-packed with fruit and vegetables, is a powerful way to start your day, sometimes it leaves you wanting more and causes you to crave a snack by midmorning. …read more Source: Natural Living [More]

By Virgil Usher, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The amino acid tyrosine is loaded with amazing benefits for your stress recovery, mood, brain, the list goes on and on. Whether from supplements or diet, increasing your tyrosine intake will take your brain function to a higher level because this amino acid is a precursor to many neurotransmitters found within your brain. For example, adrenaline (for fight or flight responses), dopamine (for motivation and mood), and norepinephrine (for blood flow and muscle recovery) are the three main neurotransmitters formed from tyrosine. Here’s the problem: Your …read more Source: Natural Health 365     
By Dr. Mercola The Apple iPhone turns 10 this year, and in those short 10 years lives have been significantly changed by smartphones. According to Pew Research Center,1 nearly 77 percent of U.S. adults now own a smartphone, up from 35 percent in 2011. This makes the smartphone one of the most quickly embraced consumer technologies in history. Interestingly, while smartphone ownership is more common among youth and those who are more affluent, rates are rising rapidly among older and lower-income Americans as well. When mobile devices were first released they were used for calling and texting. Today, Americans use [More]

By Virgil Usher, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) With all the TV advertisements, so-called fitness ‘experts,’ doctors, and health publications, many people are brainwashed into believing that fat is the ‘greatest enemy’ when it comes to weight loss. But, in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Healthy fats can actually help you lose weight and greatly improve your overall health. (as you’ll soon see.) Truth be told, the low-fat recommendations that we hear about are not as effective as most Americans are made to believe. If you think this …read more Source: Natural Health 365

The government is ratcheting up its efforts to convince Americans to get flu shots. “You can’t walk into a pharmacy without seeing lines, and the government is now telling preachers to tell their congregations to get flu shots,” says Dr. Russell Blaylock, renowned neurosurgeon and editor of the Blaylock Wellness Report. “I’ve never seen anything like it. “The incidence of flu across the United States is extremely low — there are virtually no outbreaks — and not a single child has died. Yet, the flu vaccine is being pushed as if it’s the greatest health advance ever discovered. “The vaccine [More]
By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, affects 15 to 30 percent of the American population, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. It (almost) goes without saying that poor digestion is a core reason for most chronic health problems. And, while pharmaceutical drugs may offer temporary relief of symptoms, they can feature toxic side effects – and they do nothing to address the root cause of poor digestion. The fact is: insufficient levels of digestive enzymes, coupled with bacterial overgrowth, can cause …read more Source: Natural Health 365     
By Dr. Mercola Weeds are invasive plant species that can thrive in various environments.1 They typically produce a large number of seeds, which allows them to take over a location where they are not supposed to grow. Hence, gardeners exert tremendous effort to remove them whenever possible because their produce can suffer.2 However, not all weeds are inherently bad — some can actually be beneficial to your health, like mugwort. Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is an aromatic plant with a rich history, with many ancient cultures having numerous uses for it. Its botanical name is derived from Artemis, the Greek goddess [More]
By Dr. Mercola Fibromyalgia, characterized by chronic, widespread pain is an often-debilitating condition that primarily affects women. While as many as 10 million Americans have fibromyalgia, its cause remains a mystery. Brain scans of fibromyalgia patients have offered hard evidence that the pain they experience is indeed real — mainly because their threshold for tolerating pain impulses is substantially lower than that of most individuals. But the mechanism causing this lowered pain threshold is still unknown. Some experts, such as Dr. Frederick Wolfe, the director of the National Databank for Rheumatic Diseases and the lead author of the 1990 paper [More]
By Julie Fidler Dads who smoke could be sentencing their offspring – and the offspring of generations to come – to cognitive problems, according to a new study of mice. When male mice were exposed to nicotine, their offspring showed signs of a mouse version of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as abnormal behavior and learning impairments. [1] Study leader Pradeep Bhide, of Florida State University, said: “Until now, much attention has been focused on the effects of maternal nicotine exposure on their children. Not much had been known about the effects of paternal smoking on their children and [More]
By Julie Fidler Having Type 2 diabetes doesn’t have to mean a life of disability or early death. A few lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, can reduce those risks, especially the risk of cardiovascular disease. Kicking cigarettes to the curb and closely following treatment protocols can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease “significantly,” according to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. In some cases, the risk can be completely eliminated. Aidin Rawshani, medical intern and doctoral student at the Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, Sweden, and author of the report, said: “This is definitely good [More]
From commercials, to TV shows and bill boards, you can’t miss the rush to propagandize flu vaccines for pregnant mothers, children and the elderly every fall. Not only does the CDC admit flu shots don’t work, but there is absolutely no evidence that any influenza vaccine prevents the flu any more than a placebo. Here are five myths to be aware of before deciding to submit yourself or your loved one to flu vaccines. …read more Source: Prevent Disease

By Mike Barrett Contact lenses are so small that it’s easy to think you can flush them down the toilet and they’ll simply dissolve, but that’s far from the truth. The scientists behind a study presented at the American Chemical Society’s national meeting and exposition warn that flushing contact lenses add to the problem of microplastics littering both land and sea. An enormous number of contact lenses wind up contaminating the environment, the study shows, as 21% of wearers flush them down the toilet or the sink. In the United States, 14 billion contact lenses get trashed each year, including [More]
By Sharon Thomas, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Do you have unwanted fat on your body? Unfortunately, it turns out that excess body fat doesn’t just sit there on your body and look ‘bad.’ Research clearly shows that fat cells can trigger an unhealthy inflammation response – especially in people who are prone to overeating. Incidentally, you may already have heard that an excess of fat cells promotes cancer cell growth in people with obesity. It’s mainly due to the stress on the hormonal system. But, here’s what the new …read more Source: Natural Health 365     
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola It’s recommended that school-age children get nine to 11 hours of sleep a night, while teens need eight to 10. Preschoolers and toddlers need even more to function optimally — ranging from 10 to 14 hours a night.1 But many kids are falling short on fulfilling this basic need, putting their physical and mental health at risk. In England, sleep disorders among children are also on the rise, an investigation by The Guardian revealed. The number of children and teens aged 16 years and under admitted to a hospital due to a sleep disorder [More]
