By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Everyone has individual likes and dislikes, especially when it comes to heat in their food. Look at the menus at certain restaurants, for instance, and you might find tiny jalapeno icons next to certain dishes to signify their heat level. One jalapeno means mildly hot; five indicate as fiery as they can make it. A perfect example of a food — or rather a condiment — that’s very popular and comes in widely varying degrees on the heat index is mustard, which can definitely rival jalapenos in the heat index. Some like it hot, [More]
By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Around 800,000 people per year have a stroke – in the United States alone – and, this avoidable health problem is the fifth leading cause of death in the nation.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is continuing its crusade to take down kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a plant in the coffee family that’s earned the reputation for being an alternative to opioids. Native to tropical Southeast Asia, people in the area have used kratom leaves as an herbal remedy for centuries not only to relieve pain but also to increase energy and enhance well-being. According to the American Kratom Association (AKA), a grassroots advocacy organization that is trying to keep kratom legal, kratom is not a drug, an opiate or a synthetic substance. [More]

By Hesh Goldstein In U.S.A. Today, on 2/13/18, there was an article entitled, “Pharma paid patient groups.” It was written by Deirdre Shesgreen, Jayne O’Donnell and Terry DeMio and depicted Big Pharma’s complicity in the opioid epidemic. Here goes: “The five biggest opioid manufacturers shelled out more than $10 million to patient advocacy groups, professional medical societies and affiliated individuals who then “echoed and amplified” messages that encouraged use of those highly addictive drugs, which set the stage for the opioid epidemic. That’s according to a Senate committee investigation, released Monday, that examined the financial ties between the pharmaceutical industry [More]
By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) As American baby boomers begin to age into their “golden years,” many are being greeted by a health forecast that is not so bright – especially if they rely on the guidance of Western medicine.

By Lindsay Sheehan The phenomenon of static cling – where an overabundance of positively charged ions fills the air – is a relatively modern annoyance. Though it is more prevalent during wintertime due to low humidity levels, the clothes dryer is chiefly responsible for generating static electricity since the tumble cycle causes rubbing and friction on the fabrics, dubbed the triboelectric effect. In response to the new problem created by mechanical dryers, the industry responded by introducing fabric softeners and dryer sheets to combat static cling. Both work essentially the same way: they coat your clothing in synthetic …read more [More]

By Lindsay Sheehan Growing at high altitudes in the cold and damp mountain ranges of China, Korea, and Japan, Angelica sinensis has been used as herbal medicine for a millennium. Commonly known as dong quai or female ginseng, it is a handsome perennial plant that features purplish stems with branched clusters of small, white, fragrant flowers.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Bisphenol-A (BPA) was first created by a Russian chemist in 1891, but wasn’t used in the manufacture of products until the 1950s when it was used to produce resilient and often transparent plastics. Today, BPA is found in countless personal care products, water bottles, cashier receipts and the lining of canned goods. Although research shows BPA is detrimental to human health, the market was valued at over $13 billion in 2013 and expected to reach $20 billion in 2020.1 Unfortunately, as the demand for BPA-free products is rising, substitute chemicals that are nearly identical [More]

By Lindsay Sheehan Further eroding the trust between consumer and corporation, a new report by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) has found detectable levels of lead in baby foods. Published in June 2017, the EDF analyzed 11 years of data from the FDA and discovered that 20% of 2,164 baby food samples contained lead. Grapes, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, arrowroot cookies, and teething biscuits were among the worst offenders. There is no safe level of lead exposure. Consumption of lead by infants and young children is especially alarming because it can cause lifelong behavioral problems and diminished intelligence. Though [More]

By Lindsay Sheehan A trifecta of cold winds, lack of moisture in the air, and sun exposure can cause lips to become dry and cracked. Because lips don’t contain oil glands like the rest of the skin does, they are often the first dermal casualty of the winter season. If you have a habit of licking your lips when they are dry, you’re only compounding the problem since saliva strips the skin of moisture. The cure for chapped lips lies in drinking plenty of water each day, using a Making both of our top picks for natural sunscreens and

Times have changed for a lot of people living in urban areas.  The traffic, the busy streets,  and the seemingly never-ending streaming crowds, especially during rush hours can be an overwhelming feeling. With the freedom of speech and expression constantly in effect, people can flood the streets as a form of protest. More often than not,  riot police can be expected to emerge to keep things under control.   However, that protest then can turn into a full- scale riot as the tension builds up.   The clubbing, the running, rocks and other objects whizzing by, Molotov cocktails and looting can be a petrifying experience. It could be a life-threatening situation if caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.   What would you do in case you get caught in the midst of all this chaos?
