By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola A warming cup of tea offers many comforts, especially when the temperature begins to dip, but while the advantages of green tea are many and well noted, there’s another type — black tea — shown by recent research to positively impact not only your quest for weight loss but to lead to a healthier gut microbiome in the process. The precise benefit stems from the way black tea (and green tea, too) can change the ratio of gut bacteria, decreasing the percentages of a type previously linked to obesity, and increasing bacteria associated with

By Hesh Goldstein What is a breakdown? It’s not a disease, as some materialists would like people to think. It’s not a physical ailment like a broken leg or something. A breakdown happens when a person cannot handle the burden, anxieties and pressure of his or her existence. A person breaks down when he realizes that the material shelter where he has been trying to take refuge has all fallen through. The person experiences, “I can’t find happiness in this anymore. I can’t find meaning in any of these things. None of these things are satisfying though I’ve tried to

We eat very clean and I think it’s okay to relax a bit every now and then. I pulled out the Cappuccino Gelato (Hyvee Brand) from my freezer and thoroughly enjoyed a small bowl. It says right on the front of the carton that it is imported from Italy, so it’s exotic and going to be divine. I had no intention of reading the label and just wanted to indulge. However, my husband

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Iodine is essential to your health. Unfortunately, data collected by the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey has revealed a significant drop in median urine iodine values.1 The median iodine level measured in urine samples was 320 micrograms per liter (mcg/L) between 1971 and 1974. By 1988, it dropped to 145 mcg/L. Surveys taken in the years since show levels have stabilized, except in pregnant women whose median urine level dropped further to 125 mcg/L. Many people don’t know they need to consume a little iodine each day to maintain healthy levels of

By Dr. Mercola Achiote (Bixa orellana), or annatto, is a spice that is used by a large portion of the world’s population. It’s easy to decipher whether a dish contains achiote through the distinct red-orange color that it gives off. While the main use for achiote is for dyeing and coloring, it also adds a subtle flavor to any dish. In small amounts, achiote does not exude a very strong flavor, but if used copiously, people have noted that it has a subtle peppery taste with a nutty and sweet aroma.1 This spice is largely used in Latin American and

These statistics are staggering! Yet, when it comes to brain health and behavioral disorders, Western medicine is clearly missing the point – in terms of an effective solution. You see, conventionally-trained physicians – especially psychiatrists – are heavily indoctrinated with the notion that the only ‘reasonable’ treatments for psychiatric conditions are counseling and prescription …read more Source: Natural Health 365

Comments by Terri LaPointInvestigative Writer, Health Impact News Parents whose children have been taken from them by Child Protective Services often tell us that the system is backwards. Instead of being presumed innocent until proven guilty, everyone involved with CPS assumes guilt, even in the face of no evidence of guilt.

If you think about it for a minute, though, you may realize that it’s been awhile since your windshield was covered with insects. This may initially seem like a good thing, but this occurrence, dubbed the “windshield phenomenon” by entomologists,1 is an ominous warning — a canary in the coalmine that the environment is in grave danger. “I’m a very data-driven person,”
