Thyroid cancer rates are currently increasing the most rapidly of all kinds of cancer. It is believed that environmental factors such as the increased addition of flame retardant chemicals in common products are contributing to this problem. While these additions decrease the risk of deadly fires engulfing the home, the trade-off seems to be an increased risk of cancer for those living there. Flame retardant chemicals floating …read more

Several vaccines in widespread use were found to be contaminated with cancer causing compounds like SV-40. However, as shocking as this may be to read, they continued to be administered a full three years after the cancer evidence was detected. In fact, government health agencies did everything they could to suppress the truth and keep the public in the dark about the dangers. The following video includes …read more Read

Considering one-third of American children between the ages of 2 and 19 are now overweight or obese, chronic disease and mortality rates will likely climb dramatically in coming decades as the health of these youths begins to fail.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Your eyelids protect your eye from injury, help regulate how much light is admitted to your retina and maintain a film of tears by distributing tears over your eye and pumping tears from the conjunctival and lacrimal sacs. You have Meibomian glands at the base of your eyelids, near your eye lashes. These glands secrete an oil that combines with your watery tears to lubricate and protect your eye from drying.1 Without enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye, the orb can become irritated and you may develop an inflammation of the

By Sierra Bright Most people have heard of probiotics, the healthy bacteria that is essential for optimal digestive health. However, prebiotics are not nearly as well understood and most definitely undervalued. Most Americans do not consume nearly enough prebiotics, which are also instrumental in digestion and can help keep a number of chronic conditions at bay. Understanding Prebiotics: Prebiotics are a form of non-digestible fiber compound that makes its way down through the digestive tract. Neither digestive enzyme nor gastric acids break down prebiotics. Once they arrive in the gut, prebiotics become fuel for the healthy gut bacteria (probiotics). Both

[1] EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt told Congress on June 27, 2017, that the agency would “provide clarity” by “withdrawing” the rule, and follow standards set in 2008.

Thankfully there are many initiative popping to tackle this problem, with one example being seen at Salt Lake City, Utah, where a facility will reduce landfill waste and turn food waste into renewable energy.

By Sierra Bright Just the thought of lice makes most people shiver. Head lice are teeny tiny parasites that live on the scalp and hair shafts where they dine on blood. Nearly ten million school children are diagnosed with lice each year. Lice can be contracted by coming in contact with an infected person through play, sports, school or wearing clothing of someone who has the parasite. You can even get head lice by lying on bedding that an infected person was lying on. It is thought that poor hygiene precipitates a lice infestation which can quickly spread, especially in
