By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Flame retardant chemicals are found in everything from furniture and mattresses to electronics and baby toys. Notorious neurotoxins, these widespread chemicals have been linked to serious health risks like infertility, birth defects, neurodevelopmental delays, hormone disruptions, various forms of cancer and reduced IQ scores and behavioral problems in children. One variety of flame retardants, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), resembles the molecular structure of PCBs, which have been linked to cancer, reproductive problems and impaired fetal brain development. As one in six U.S. children now suffers from neurodevelopmental disorders, research into possible environmental culprits is

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Monsanto – ‘the most hated company in America’ – is not having a good week. A trove of internal corporate documents has now become public, and the contents – which reveal the agrichemical giant’s attempts to cover up the toxicity of Roundup – are nothing short of explosive. The documents clearly show the outrageous extent of Monsanto’s deceptive practices – and its shameful collusion with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a federal regulatory agency entrusted with protecting the health of the American public.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Death rates from liver cancer have doubled since the mid-1980s, reports the American Cancer Society. This dramatic three decades-long rise makes liver cancer the fastest-growing cause of deaths from cancer in the United States. In addition, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which can lead to liver cancer, is on the verge of becoming an epidemic – with an astonishing 30 percent of the American population affected to some degree.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Polls — and common sense — tell us that when consumers learn dental amalgam is 50 percent mercury, they demand a safe alternative for their mouths and bodies. But millions of consumers who are ready to switch are trapped in a vicious system that insists on putting toxic mercury in their mouths. Two culprits freeze in this primitive pre-Civil War, tooth-damaging pollutant: Insurance companies, whose outdated policies push lower-income consumers into amalgam Government programs across the board, where factory-style dentistry by the Pentagon, the Indian Health Service, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Medicaid and

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola More than 33,000 Americans were killed by opioids in 2015, and nearly half of them involved a prescription for the drugs. Each day, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, 91 Americans die from an opioid overdose, and the numbers keep rising, nearly quadrupling since 2015.1 Knowing that these drugs carry the serious risk of addiction, abuse and overdose, they should be prescribed sparingly and only for the most severe cases of pain, for which no other options are available. Instead, they are often prescribed widely to treat milder cases of

By Thomasina Copenhaver Recently, someone, I care very deeply about told me that she did not want to take statins but her nurse practitioner told her she had to– because her coronary arteries showed plaque build-up aka atherosclerosis. Her insurance would pay for a new statin injection, but not for statin pills. Despite my rants about the dangers of statin drugs, she was absolutely convinced she needed them or she would die. She was going to discuss her options with her heart doctor but he was out on leave due to having a heart attack. Ironic? True story. She isn’t

Likewise, mindlessly eating will cause you to gain weight, especially if the food is void of nutrition. The exact opposite is also true, a study found – giving your full attention to the food in front of you can lead to weight loss.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola While often overlooked, your dental health can have a significant impact on your overall health. It’s difficult to achieve high-level physical health if your oral health is ignored. Dr.Gerry Curatola, founder of Rejuvenation Dentistry, has over 30 years’ experience in biological dentistry. As Curatola notes, your mouth is your “gateway to total body wellness.” Indeed, thousands of studies have linked oral disease to systemic disease. Inflammation is known to be a disease-causing force leading to most chronic illness, and gum disease and other oral diseases produce chronic low-grade inflammation that can have a deleterious

For a while there, I was housebound. First, I bought an air purifier that had a filter made of coconut shell carbon and zeolite. It helped dramatically. I filtered my water for drinking and bathing too. Next, I eliminated household chemical cleaners, pesticides, all lawn care chemicals and replaced with healthier alternatives. I found natural body care products. Then, I realized that chemical sensitivities are developed because the

And, while not every city can become the next Silicon Valley, Tampa is striving to make its mark elsewhere – namely the healthcare industry. The Tampa Bay region hopes to become a market leader by 2023 (Source: www.abcactionnews.com), and considering that healthcare earnings in the state grew by $3.75 billion in 2015, this does not seem like an improbability (Source: www.tampabay.com). What this means is, Tampa residents will be spoilt for choice when it comes to healthcare options in the coming years. In fact, the city already has a strong network

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola If you plan on making a salad, some kind of soup or a savory stir-fry, onions will most likely be part of the equation. You might also slice them into rings to place on sandwiches, or sauté them gently in coconut oil or grass fed butter until they’re soft, translucent and absolutely delicious. But something else may be likely as well: When you’re cutting or chopping them, before you get very far into the first onion, you’re very likely to find your nose twitching and tears making your eyes smart.

By Dr. Mercola What Is Lovage Oil? Lovage oil is derived from both the roots and the leaves of the lovage plant (Levisticum officinale), a hardy, herbaceous perennial native to southern parts of Europe. Also called bastard celery in France and love parsley in England, lovage can grow up to 2 meters (6 feet) in height and resembles other umbellifers such as fennel, coriander and parsley, with large umbels of yellow-green flowers with seeds. Depending on whether the roots are fresh or dried at the time of distillation, lovage oil can be yellow or dark brown in color. It’s quite
