Proof The Bible Is True

By Julie Fidler There is ample research which should give parents pause when considering whether to let the TV babysit their kids. One study even suggests that too much tube time can lead to poor bone health later on. I don’t like to bash TV. A decade ago, I worked with teen moms and their babies in a group-home setting, and nothing seemed to calm the little ones quite like Baby Einstein videos. Those videos also had a soothing effect on my nieces and nephews when they were babies. Baby Einstein videos are both colorful and educational, and they benefit [More]

By Julie Fidler One of the keys to keeping your brain nice and plump and in proper working order is avoiding soda – and not just the sugar-sweetened kind, either. Drinking sodas, whether regular or diet, is bad for brain health, 2 recent studies show. [1] One study showed that people who drank diet soda every day were three times more likely to have a stroke or develop dementia over 10 years compared with those who didn’t consume any diet soda. The second study showed that people who drank at least one diet soda daily had smaller brain volumes than [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola In the U.S., painkiller addiction is so rampant that 91 Americans die every day from an overdose of prescription opioids or heroin.1 Prescription opioids such as oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), morphine and methadone are widely prescribed for pain relief. Initially, they were intended to treat severe pain following surgery or injury or pain due to illnesses such as cancer. However, they’re now increasingly prescribed for many types of pain, including chronic back pain or pain from osteoarthritis. Opioid prescriptions nearly quadrupled in the U.S. between 1999 and 2013, despite reported pain levels remaining stagnant. [More]

Peppermint oil has a long history of medicinal uses, practiced by many various cultures around the world. Probably the most well-known and widely used is that of peppermint oil as a digestive aid. The powerful organic compounds in this essential oil have a soothing effect on the muscles of the digestive tract, calming muscle spasms, and preventing such maladies as nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, bloating, and flatulence. Another traditional use of peppermint essential oil is to focus the mind, improve memory, and promote wakefulness without causing the signature nervousness and anxiety associated with other stimulants like caffeine. Historically, essential oil of [More]

Most of us are still using traditional laundry soap to make our clothes smell fresh and clean, and while they’re obviously effective, they come at a big price, and not just what you see on the sticker at the store. Conventional laundry soaps often contain toxic chemicals with a wide range of negative effects including everything from skin irritation to carcinogenicity. And, frighteningly, in 2011, researchers from the University of Washington found that dryer vents can emit over 25 volatile organic compounds when scented laundry soap and dryer sheets are used, including seven that are classified as hazardous air pollutants.

When the warmer weather starts to arrive, large green or brown bugs known as stink bugs may appear, crawling on walls, or flying around the windows in your home. If you live in a drafty old house, you’re likely seeing them just about everywhere, now that the sun has become brighter and stronger. If you don’t know what they are, you might swat at them, or step on them, but as soon as you do, you’ll know what you’re messing with, thanks to the horribly unpleasant smell.   These pesky little creatures stay hidden throughout the winter, but when springtime [More]

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Salt is a basic and essential mineral to human health. Whether it is mined from the Himalayan mountains or extracted from the waters of the sea, sea salt helps to maintain proper balance in the human body as well as the systems of most living creatures. But, the table salt used by most people in the Western world is heavily processed and horrible for human health. In reality, our bodies need salt for maintaining circulation and ideal blood sugar levels. Salt even plays a role in maintaining and supporting <a target=_blank …read more Read [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola While whole foods are healthy, there are certain caveats to consider even here. Lectins (not to be confused with the phospholipid lecithin) are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are widespread in the plant kingdom. An estimated 30 percent of fresh foods contain lectins.1 Even dairy contains lectins. Grass fed butter is an exception. Grass fed milk is also lower in lectins than grain-fed milk, thanks to higher amounts of SlgA, an immunoglobulin that binds to lectins.2 Lectins get their name from the Latin word legere, …read more Read more here: mercola     

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common STD in sexually active individuals. While in many cases it resolves on its own, in rare cases, it can lead to cervical cancer and other cancer types. The Gardasil vaccine was developed as a means to help young women avoid the virus and its potential complications. (but, is it really necessary or effective?) The makers of this drug claim that it can protect from the genital warts associated with the virus while reducing cancer risk. However, Gardasil has been linked with a …read more Read more [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The fact that toxic exposures will influence your risk for disease and early death should come as no surprise. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), toxic environments are responsible for at least 1 of every 4 deaths reported worldwide.1 Recent research2 also reveals the greater your total pollution exposure, the higher your risk for cancer. As reported by Reuters:3 “While … previous research has linked individual pollutants to increased risks of specific types of cancer, the current study focused on how the combined effect of exposure to a variety …read more Read more [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed extensively throughout the world. In the U.S., nearly 70 million prescriptions are written and 30 billion doses are consumed each year when over-the-counter NSAIDs are included.1 In many cases NSAIDs are prescribed to treat back pain, headaches, menstrual pain and arthritis. While most consider the medication innocuous, the truth is that by conservative estimates over 105,000 people are hospitalized each year from the side effects of NSAIDs and over 16,000 of those die.2 Side effects from long-term use of NSAIDs range from hearing loss to gastrointestinal bleeding. Unfortunately, [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola As I discuss in this video, the debate over whether cellphone exposure causes brain tumors may be counterproductive. Think about the number of people you know who carry and use cellphones daily. According to the United Nations more people worldwide have cellphones than have access to toilets.1 While nearly everyone you know carries a cellphone, and probably has for a decade or more, it’s likely you don’t know anyone who has a brain tumor. Every year approximately 80,000 U.S. men, women and children are diagnosed with a brain tumor.2 In comparison, 787,000 people die [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola In the U.S., water fluoridation has been widespread for the last 70 years. Despite the fact that clear-cut evidence suggests consuming fluoride is dangerous to human health and does little to protect teeth from cavities, it continues to be supported and recommended by nearly all public health and academic institutions. This includes the American Dental Association (ADA), the American Academy of Pediatrics, U.S. Public Health Service and the World Health Organization (WHO). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) even went so far as to name water fluoridation as one of the [More]

By Karen Sanders, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Nearly all health experts and researchers agree that turmeric is a wonder spice with myriad healing properties – thousands of studies (and counting) have revealed its ability to prevent and treat over 600 different diseases and ailments. In fact, researchers have been pleasantly surprised to find that turmeric effects the body in 175 unique ways – as an anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant, an endocrine modulator, a neuroprotectant, an anti-cancer agent, and a natural antibiotic, just to name a few of its most popular mechanisms. The most powerful health benefits of turmeric revealed The wide-ranging …read [More]

By Danna Norek Basal cell carcinoma is one of the most common, and thankfully treatable, forms of skin cancer. Most people see this type of skin cancer form on their face. The forehead, nose and other spots that are consistently exposed to sunlight are the most common places for basal cell to form. Most often a basal cell carcinoma cancer appears as a red spot that never seems to heal. The spot may even bleed, scab, or become inflamed. It will often come back again and again to these same areas and need repeat treatment. The most popular method of [More]

By Hesh Goldstein Despite all the facts and figures regarding the diets that humans should partake in, the tongue’s conditioned sense gratification for the particular taste of flesh and blood has overwhelmed the body’s intelligence. So, please allow me to present some facts that clearly outline the human eating process. FACIAL MUSCLES Carnivores have reduced facial muscles to make way for a wide mouth gape.

By Alexandra Preston While it’s true that making the right personal choices to stay disease-free may not be bulletproof, making these ‘right choices’ is still the way to go to avoid cancer and other diseases. What we as a collective need to consider, though, is that cancer prevention isn’t totally an individual effort. A good example of this can be seen with pollution, where a study outlines how some of the highest incidences of cancer rest among the most polluted areas in the US. For this study, the US Environmental Protections Agency’s (EPA) Environmental Quality Index, a county-level measure of [More]

By Julie Fidler Hopefully, before you head to the beach, you’ve already looked for some safe sunscreens for your body. But if you’re not reading labels, and if you don’t understand what the ingredients on those labels are, studies show the product you’re lathering on your skin could actually pose a grave threat to the ocean environment. These sunscreens are especially not safe for coral reefs. The world’s most popular reefs are at risk because of a common chemical found in all types of sunscreen: Oxybenzone.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Finding time to eat meals together as a family is a simple way to improve your family bond and, beyond that, reap significant benefits to your health and quality of life. Contrary to popular belief, many American families do make the time for family meals. A Gallup Poll revealed that 53 percent of adults with children younger than 18 years say they eat dinner together at home six or seven nights a week. This averages out to 5.1 dinners together as a family per week.1 If your schedule or lifestyle currently does not allow [More]

As Americans and people all over the world, including emerging economies like India and Brazil – continue to struggle with the epidemic of obesity, lifestyle changes which can curb someone’s weight are becoming more important than ever. Most people understand the connection between a poor diet or sedentary lifestyle and weight gain. What is less clear to people is the link between sleep habits and an unhealthy weight. Below are seven sleeping “mistakes” that could make it easier to gain unwanted pounds. Read More: 7 Sleeping Mistakes Making You Fat
