By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola There are many reasons to minimize your cellphone use, seeing how they trigger mitochondrial dysfunction, an underlying factor of virtually all chronic disease. But you can also add transmission of bacterial infections to that list. According to scientists at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), cellphones and tablets typically harbor so many germs, they may actually pose a hazard when used in your kitchen during food preparation or brought to the dinner table. As noted by Amy Lando, a member of the FDA’s consumer studies team in the office of scientific analysis and

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) Cell phones, laptops and tablets are becoming all too common – throughout the world. In fact, many people would venture to say, ‘they can’t live’ without these devices. Yet, disturbing new scientific evidence suggests that magnetic field radiation from WiFi and cell phones could potentially jeopardize one of the most personal and precious connections of all – pregnancy and gestation. A new study funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences found that magnetic field (MF) non-ionizing radiation – also known as electromagnetic …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola It’s now well-recognized that chronic infection is an underlying factor in many if not most chronic illnesses. Diseases such as Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, cardiomyopathy, gastritis and chronic fatigue are all turning out to be expressions of chronic infections, and Lyme disease appears to be a major, yet oftentimes hidden, player. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics released in 2013,1,2 an estimated 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. That’s about 10 times higher than the officially reported number of cases, and is indicative of

By Mike Barrett A jury has awarded $250 million in punitive damages and nearly $40 million in compensatory damages to a former school groundskeeper who alleged in a lawsuit that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, caused him cancer. [1] ?The plaintiff, DeWayne Johnson, was seeking $400 million in punitive damages and $39 million in compensatory damages from the biotech company, according to his attorney. Johnson’s lawsuit was the world’s first Roundup case to go to trial. The August 10 ruling could set a huge precedent for the thousands of other cases facing Monsanto (now Bayer) that have

Now, a quarter century later, history is repeating itself with giant “factory farms” flooding the organic

By Mike Barrett The 2 largest independent seed sellers in the United States, Beck’s Hybrids and Stine Seed, are urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban farmers from spraying dicamba herbicide during upcoming summers. Spraying would be limited to the springtime, before crops are planted, preventing farmers from using the weedkiller on Monsanto-made soybeans genetically engineered to withstand dicamba. In the summer of 2017, farmers planted mind-boggling amounts of dicamba-resistant soybeans. This resulted in dicamba drifting onto nearby farms where the genetically modified seeds aren’t grown, damaging an estimated 3.6 million acres of traditionally-grown soybeans – 4% of

By Julie Fidler A chemical touted as a safer replacement for bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides (neonics) has similar harmful effects, researchers in the U.K. have discovered. Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides intended to protect crops from pests by blocking receptors in the insects’ brains, paralyzing and killing them. Even small doses of neonics can cause bees to struggle with navigation, hunting for food, reproduction, and their ability to form new colonies. As a result of neonics’ effects on pollinators, the European Union (EU) banned the outdoor use of 5 neonicotinoid products in April 2018. Canada began phasing them out on

By Seth Pollard Consumer Reports has some bad news for parents who only feed their babies organic food. In terms of arsenic, cadmium, and lead levels, organic baby foods are no better than traditional products when it comes to heavy metal contamination. ?The authors of the report note that babies are ingesting fewer pesticides with organic food consumption. That, along with the gentler effects organic food has on the environment, still shows that organic is better than conventional. However, “organic” does not mean free of heavy metals. Consumer Reports tested 50 baby and toddler products from retailers all over the

By Hesh Goldstein Since going on the radio in 1981 and taking an active role in promoting good health, I have become appalled by the alarmingly decrepit state of health of the American people. There is a huge difference that exists between the health of the people and the option for lack of disease and vibrancy. Today, for the majority, wealth means how much you have. For me, wealth means good health. The American medical profession has become nothing more than a “hooker” for the Big Pharma “pimp” by abandoning the Hippocratic Oath they pledged to serve skillfully and with

By Susan Patterson You might notice that some of your garden plants are a little sickly looking and not performing as they should. This could be the first sign of nitrogen deficiency, something that all savvy gardeners should be aware of. All plants need nitrogen for healthy growth and to reproduce. Plants also use nitrogen for photosynthesis. Once you get a handle on the nitrogen needs of our plants it makes it easier to supplement as necessary for healthy growth. Native plants don’t often struggle with nitrogen deficiency like vegetable garden plants can. Spotting Nitrogen Deficiency Nitrogen deficiency is fairly

By Julie Fidler Europe’s highest court ruled July 25 that crops edited with CRISPR technology should face the same tough scrutiny as conventional genetically modified (GM) organisms. [1] The decision, handed down by the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ), is a blow to many scientists and other proponents of gene-editing who had hoped that gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 would be exempted from existing European law limiting the planting and sale of GM crops. Under the ECJ ruling, crops edited with CRISPR and similar technologies are subject to a 2001 directive that was intended for older breeding

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) Over the past 20 years, the capabilities of information and communication technologies have exploded. But, in addition to bringing unprecedented access to information and data, these systems have also brought about massive increases in our exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (or RF-EMF). Now, a new study examining the effects of cell phone RF-EMF radiation on adolescent neurocognitive processes suggests that this exposure can pose a risk to the most essential data retrieval system of all – the human memory.

The poor success rate of conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatments – along with their debilitating and dangerous side effects – have spurred researchers to focus on natural substances, like Boswellia, in hopes of safer, more effective, therapies. In fact, even though the pharmaceutical industry will never admit it, scientific studies have shown that this ancient herbal remedy (Boswellia) …read more Source: Natural Health 365
