By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Blueberries have been on the “superfoods” list for some time. However, recent research out of the Université Laval of Canada has found that blueberries – the highbush variety in particular – have potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. For the study, proanthocyanidins were isolated from highbush blueberries. The effects of this compound were assessed for their effects on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans bacteria, a key factor in periodontitis, or gum disease. How proanthocyanidins in blueberries protect our cells and overall quality of life The proanthocyanidins were also studied for their …read more Source: Natural Health 365     

By Sharon Thomas, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Have you ever wondered if too much bed rest can actually cause back pain? Well, you’re right! In fact, a 2007 study published in the scientific journal Spine confirms what most people would be shocked to hear – just how much physical inactivity can change your spine. And, just for the record, when we refer to ‘bed rest’ – we mean any kind of forced or prescribed period of physical activity restriction. This often happens to people dealing with a significant illness or injury. Of course, sometimes, …read more Source: Natural Health 365     

By Susan Patterson Known as the “heart herb,” hawthorn is widely recognized for its ability to improve cardiovascular performance and lift spirits. Historically, every part of the plant including flowers, leaves, stem, berries and even bark was used to make medicine in ancient Greece and Asia. Hawthorn berries were a staple in the diet of Native Americans who also revered them for their medicinal properties and used them in the treatment of gastrointestinal complaints and heart issues. In the early 1800’s, this medicinal herb was used for respiratory and circulatory conditions as well. About The Hawthorn Bush The hawthorn bush, [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola In the U.S., a Sunday chicken dinner is as all-American as apple pie, but this dietary mainstay is an example of one of the biggest problems facing the food supply: the growing market concentration. Unless you happened to purchase your chicken at a local farm, farmers market or food co-op, and can attest that it was raised on pasture, the way many people think their chicken is raised, it likely came from a major player in the industry, like Perdue or Tyson. Tyson claims to be “one of the leading supporters of American agriculture,”1 [More]

By Mike Barrett The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 12 warned 5 e-cigarette manufacturers, including Juul, that they have 2 months to figure out how they’ll prove to the agency that they’ve taken steps to prevent the sale of their products to young people. [1] Experts say there has been an “epidemic” rise in teen use of e-cigarettes, which are typically sold with liquid nicotine that comes in a variety of tantalizing flavors that appeal to young people. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb warned the FDA could take the step of requiring companies to: Change their sales and [More]

By Julie Fidler Most doctors are wonderful people and consummate professionals who truly want the best for their patients. But a recent study suggests much of the blame for the opioid crisis lies squarely on the shoulders of doctors who write prescriptions for hard-hitting opioids when other simpler pain-relieving methods would suffice. The study shows that as recently as 2015, doctors were still prescribing the addictive and potentially deadly painkillers even for minor injuries in great numbers. Researchers wrote in the Annals of Emergency Medicine that 1/4 of patients treated for ankle sprains between 2011 and 2015 were prescribed an [More]

Nowhere is officialdom’s minimization of vaccine risks more apparent than in these agencies’ position on vaccine-related deaths. The WHO, for example, states that “so few deaths can plausibly be attributed to vaccines that it is hard to assess the risk statistically.” Nevertheless, once regulators [More]

Most of these individuals can play video games without becoming obsessed with them, but others can’t be pried away from them.

By AdminM by Paul FassaHealth Impact News A few decades ago, during the 1970s, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” morphed to “an aspirin a day keeps heart attacks and strokes away.” This is still a medical mantra today even as science-based evidence has proven otherwise. Not only does this not work as a preventative measure for cardiac arrest and strokes, the side effects to the gastrointestinal or GI tract can be severe. This is not an opinion.

Although the plant looks like a turnip, it’s actually related to cabbage and broccoli.1 The bulb grows above ground and is not a root vegetable. Also known as a “space cabbage” from its appearance, this down-to-earth vegetable offers some of the same health benefits as others in the family, including broccoli, cauliflower, kale and mustard. But, unlike its relatives, the plant is easier to grow, matures quickly and is ideal for fall …read more Source: mercola

By Lori Alton, staff writer has blown the lid off an ongoing food safety scandal – and revealed that traces of banned and restricted pharmaceutical drugs have been found in beef, poultry and pork headed for supermarkets and supper tables throughout the United States. The drug residues include ketamine – a veterinary anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects – phenylbutazone – an anti-inflammatory medication considered too risky to human health to use – and chloramphenicol, a potent antibiotic associated with a life-threatening form of anemia. Meanwhile, U.S. federal agencies meant to ensure food safety appear to be turning a blind eye. Consumer [More]

By Lindsay Sheehan Long before disposable razors, waxing kits, and laser treatments, men and women removed unwanted body hair using a simple process known as sugaring. The ancient art of body sugaring is a method that was widely practiced in the Middle East and North Africa as far back as 1900 BC. It is said that Cleopatra and friends employed body sugaring to keep skin smooth and hairless. Although there’s no shortage of hair removal options in modern times, body sugaring is making a bit of a comeback. And it’s not hard to see why: body sugaring is safe, all-natural, [More]

By Susan Patterson Chickweed is a common weed in many gardens, which is why most people don’t even think about using it. In fact, instead of pulling out a clump of chickweed and having it for lunch, they spend lots of hard-earned green, just to get rid of the green. And that’s a huge waste of a very nutritious food. Often referred to as the “snow in the summer” due to its small white star-shaped flowers that usually bloom in the spring and last until autumn, chickweed is actually quite tasty as well as being packed with nutrition, including vitamin [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola By definition, a placebo is an inert substance that has no effect on your body. In medical research, placebos (such as sugar pills) are used as controls against which the effects of drugs are measured. However, the placebo-effect, in which a patient believes he or she is getting an actual drug and subsequently improves despite receiving no active substance at all, has become a well-recognized phenomenon.1 Some studies into the placebo effect have even concluded that many conventional treatments “work” because of the placebo effect and little else. Indeed, the placebo effect may even [More]

By Lindsay Sheehan From the jungles of South America, cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a woody vine that features thorns shaped like hooks, which allow this plant to climb and cling to trees as high as 100 feet tall. Used therapeutically for at least 2,000 years by indigenous peoples of the rainforest, cat’s claw – or uña de gato, as it is known locally – is believed to have magical healing powers. And indeed, there is something magical about this plant. Composed of at least 30 constituents – including alkaloids, tannins, phenolic acids, diterpenes, flavonoids, and other powerful phytochemicals – [More]
