By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is once again facing scrutiny over its dealings with Monsanto, the maker of Roundup herbicide. In 2015, glyphosate, Roundup’s active ingredient, was determined to be a “probable carcinogen” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the research arm of the World Health Organization (WHO). The EPA, rather than taking immediate steps to protect Americans from this probable cancer-causing agent, decided to reassess its position on the chemical and, after doing so, released a paper in October 2015 stating that glyphosate is not likely to

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Can sleeping naked improve your sleep and health? Evidence suggests that, yes, ditching your sleepwear may in fact have a number of benefits, including better sleep. Interestingly enough, a mere 8 percent of Americans admit to sleeping naked.1 Many of these health benefits result from the fact that sleeping naked helps prevent overheating, which can have a significant impact on your sleep quality. As you fall asleep, your body temperature drops, and this drop in core temperature actually helps you sleep better. As you wake, your body temperature rises, which is why it’s much

By Chloe Paltrow Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a process of using oxygen higher than the atmospheric pressure, which is now used in treating various treatments. The word “Hyper” refers to “increased” and “baric” refers to “pressure”. While we breathe, normally we take in 20% oxygen and the rest 80% is nitrogen. But while undergoing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a person’s whole body is exposed to 100% of pure oxygen greater than the normal atmospheric pressure. Here the pressure is increased to about twice the normal pressure. (i.e 2 ATA). Experts recommend Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as it is simple, safe,

By Joe Masters You’ve heard of the “placebo effect“, where people who are usually being treated for benign conditions or as part of a study, will receive a medicine that is made of sugar and perhaps some filler ingredients. Why? Because as the official definition goes, placebo’s are “a medicine or procedure prescribed for the psychological benefit to the patient rather than for any physiological effect”. That means that just thinking that you are getting better, helps you achieve the results you would achieve with a medicated alternative. Perhaps this is one of the most undeservedly studied phenomena of our
