By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death among Americans under the age of 50.1 Preliminary data for 2016 reveals the death toll may be as high as 65,0002 — a 19 percent increase in a single year. Opioids, narcotic pain killers, are responsible for nearly two-thirds, about 42,000, of these deaths.3 Between 2002 and 2015, more than 202,600 Americans died from opioid overdoses.4 While such statistics are sobering enough, recent research5 suggests the death toll may still be underestimated …read more Source: mercola

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Saffron, which is regarded as the world’s most expensive spice by weight, is actually the stigmas of the purple crocus flower (Crocus sativus), which blooms once a year. Due to the fragile stigmas needing to be picked by hand, harvesting saffron is a labor-intensive job. As mentioned in the featured video, given the fact each saffron crocus plant contains just three stigmas it takes about 170,000 flowers to produce a single pound of this costly spice. Notably, about 90 percent of the world’s supply of saffron is grown in arid fields across Iran. Most [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola American skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) is an herbal plant native to North America that’s a member of the mint family. It has a long history of medicinal use, primarily as a mild nerve sedative or nerve tonic. During the 1800s and 1900s, skullcap was sometimes prescribed for nervousness or related symptoms, particularly muscle spasms, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors and restlessness.1 Named for the close-fitting metal skull caps worn during medieval periods, which resembled the plant’s flowers, this calming herb has continued to receive praise for its stress- and anxiety-relieving effects, …read more Source: mercola     
By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) While most people are aware of the health hazards of eating too many processed foods, conventional ‘wisdom’ would have us believe that the connection between our diet and disease is more “complex,” than it really is. For example, an experiment has made a clear connection between processed foods and their impact on gut bacteria levels. Keep in mind, we know that the gut is responsible for immune system health – which, by its very nature, is the basis of good health or disease risk. Some experts believe …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Many health conscious consumers do everything possible to avoid the use of food containers and plastic bottles that contain the endocrine disruptor – bisphenol, or BPA. However, often overlooked, if you accept a receipt from the cashier – while you’re shopping or dining out – you’re still being exposed to BPA. (and the effect may surprise you!) A recent study of store receipt effects by Stockholm University and University of Alberta has determined that BPA is absorbed through the skin when we handle the register …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) For the past two decades, researchers have focused on amyloid plaque – deposits typically found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease – as both an indicator and a cause of the disease. But, the real problem has become abundantly clear! In reality, despite years of research (and massive financial backing by Big Pharma), scientists are no closer to a successful method of treatment. Thomas J. Lewis, PhD – a researcher, author and leading expert on diseases of aging – says he knows the reason …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) Chamomile tea has long been recognized as a “tried-and-true” natural method for treating insomnia and promoting restful sleep. Unlike pharmaceutical medications such as Xanax and Valium, this soothing beverage is non-addictive, and virtually free of unwanted side effects – among the many chamomile tea benefits valued by natural medicine experts. But, when it comes to its therapeutic powers, chamomile tea is no “one-trick pony.” New research is identifying chamomile’s impressive lineup of potent bioactive phytochemicals and showcasing its ability to treat an amazing range of illnesses.

By Dr. Mercola The Atlas cedar tree, or Cedrus atlantica, has a notable history, as it was closely related to the biblical cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus Libani),1 which was mentioned in the Old Testament.2 It was also believed to have played an important role in the construction of King Solomon’s temple, which was said to be made from the wood of these trees.3 As the name implies, Atlas cedar trees are native to North Africa, particularly in the Atlas mountains of Algeria. However, the majority of the essential oil comes from Morocco, and is taken from wood chips …read more [More]

By alighterearth Maca root is often passed off as a natural stimulant, paired with other stamina-boosters like caffeine, L-theanine, and ashwagandha. While its energy-enhancing capabilities are not to be dismissed, maca can also be the singular superfood your diet needs. Cultivated in the Andean reaches of Peru, maca is a yellow cruciferous vegetable that has been honored for its medicinal properties for decades. Once harvested, maca’s savory root is removed from the body of the vegetable and ground into a powder. Widely available at health food stores, maca can be consumed as an alternative to caffeine, safeguard against oxidative stress, [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Photosynthesis is the process in which plants absorb light from the sun — along with water and carbon dioxide — and transform it into the food they need for growth.1 Oxygen, the nutrient that virtually all eukaryotic cells require to generate energy in their mitochondria, is a byproduct of photosynthesis. At the heart of photosynthesis is chlorophyll,2 a pigment that absorbs blue and some red portions of the electromagnetic spectrum and gives the plant its green color. The deeper, darker the green, the more chlorophyll the plant contains. Chlorophyll is also found in algae [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola For a number of years now, researchers have warned we are headed toward a post-antibiotic world — a world in which infections that used to be easily treatable become death sentences as they can no longer be touched by available drugs. As reported by NPR July 2, 2018:1 ”A woman in Nevada dies from a bacterial infection that was resistant to 26 different antibiotics. A U.K. patient contracts a case of multidrug-resistant gonorrhea never seen before. A typhoid superbug kills hundreds in Pakistan. These stories from recent years — and many others — raise [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Most people understand the influence the pharmaceutical industry has had on federal regulatory agencies and physicians.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) With symptoms of joint pain, “brain fog” and depression, a stubborn Candida albicans fungal overgrowth can wreak absolute havoc on health and well-being. Like many pathogens, candida is capable of forming into biofilms – thin, adhesive layers of embedded microbes – and researchers have been working overtime to discover an antimicrobial treatment with low toxicity that is, at the same time, powerful enough to eliminate these resistant biofilms. Thankfully, with caprylic acid, they may have found it! A new study has shown that caprylic acid, a …read more Source: Natural Health 365
