By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The prospect of American chickens being imported into the UK has sparked outrage as a horrifying fact about U.S. poultry farming comes to light: factory farming conditions are so dirty and disgusting, the chicken meat must be washed with chlorine before sale. Yes, chlorine – the same chemical in bleach used to clean bathrooms and kill bacteria. Chlorine-washed chickens had been set to go on sale in the UK in a post-Brexit trade deal. However, whistleblowers are shining a light on numerous …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 16 million Americans are currently living with cognitive impairment – while another 5.5 million are affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Along with difficulties in learning new things, concentrating and making decisions, these conditions can be accompanied by memory loss – a frustrating problem that can make independent living difficult or impossible. The bad news: with many baby boomers hitting the 65-year mark, the number of people who suffer from age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease and other …read more Source: Natural Health 365 [More]

By Lydia Noyes Who doesn’t dream of ditching the cubicle for the fresh air of farm fields? It’s a common desire to leave the rat race behind and cultivate a closer connection with the land, but for most of us, the idea never gets off the ground. But here’s the reality; the barriers to entry towards starting your own small farm business aren’t as extreme as you might think. It’s entirely possible to move your life towards a more agrarian aesthetic without blowing out your bank account or losing every weekend to backbreaking work.

There’s a lot more going on with the organ than you might realize. Two Chinese medicine experts say that the shape, color, size, and texture of your tongue can easily be analyzed and provide a host of information regarding your health.

By Mike Barrett Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical found in plastics that mimics the female hormone estrogen in the body, has been banned in baby bottles, sippy cups, and the lining of cans of formula since 2012 due to public outcry and toxicity research. Since then, ‘safer’ BPA alternatives have been used in products, but a new study adds onto growing evidence showing that BPA-free alternatives may not be as safe as consumers think. In the study, BPA alternatives not only decreased sperm counts in mice, but the decrease led to less-viable eggs. While more research is needed to determine if [More]

It is possible to grow a bountiful garden throughout even the most frigid winter months if you follow these simple steps. Though those residing in states such as Florida and Louisiana are unlikely to share frost concerns, the majority of the country experiences difficult winters from time to time.

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

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.

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]

[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.

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.
