By Julie Fidler A Penn State University researcher has created a genetically modified mushroom that is now at the center of controversy over GMO regulations of genetically modified creations. Researcher Yinong Yang developed a type of white button mushroom that looks identical to the type you’d buy in the produce section of a grocery store. The mushroom was created using CRISPR technology, which allows modification of genes with great precision. Put simply, CRISPR allows scientists to find an undesirable section of DNA, remove it, and, if they so choose, replace it with a more favorable gene slice. Yang used CRISPR

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The United States and New Zealand are the only two countries in the world that allow direct-to-consumer drug commercials on television. The only ones really benefiting from this scenario are the drug companies; from the consumer’s vantage point, the drawbacks far supersede the benefits. Part of the risk consumers face is rooted in deception. According to a content analysis study1 published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, 10 percent of claims made in drug ads were flat out false, and another 57 percent were misleading. Basically, two-thirds of the claims in any given

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Gardening is one of life’s simple pleasures. Even if you don’t have a green thumb, digging in the dirt, planting and nurturing plant life fills a void in many people’s lives. Some call it spiritual while others describe it as therapeutic or stress relieving. Indeed, planting a garden lets you connect with nature in a way that you probably crave, even if you don’t exactly realize it. This is why many people find gardening to be addictive — in a good way. What starts as a few flowerpots on your patio may soon morph

By Admin By The Alternative Daily There are many ways that essential oils and aromatherapy can support in cancer healing, including stress relief and emotional support. However, some essential oils are shown to act directly on cancer cells, preventing growth or even promoting apoptosis (cancer cell death). We all have a small amount of “cancer,” or malformed cells, in our bodies at all times. A healthy body, which is fed good food and enjoys robust lifestyle practices, is able to remove or heal these cells, keeping the body in balance. However, when the body is fed junk food and is

By Admin by Dr. Mercola Over the past 40+ years, dermatologists have promoted the idea that you should never be exposed to direct sunlight because it will damage your skin and cause skin cancer. You might wonder, well what about vitamin D? No problem, as according to the American Academy of Dermatology, vitamin D deficiency can easily be addressed with vitamin D supplements.1 What they fail to acknowledge and appreciate is that when you’re exposed to sunlight, many important biological processes occur in your skin, not just vitamin D production. This is separate from swallowing oral vitamin D, …read more

By Julie Fidler An Alexandria Virginia man has recently filed a lawsuit against Proctor & Gamble (P&G) because he claims the company’s Old Spice deodorant caused painful red rashes under his arms. Rodney Colley, whose angry-looking armpits are truly cringe-worthy, is inviting other consumers to follow his lead in an effort to create a class action. Court papers list 13 Old Spice deodorant products, including Swagger, Classic Fresh and Pure Sport High Endurance, and deems them potentially “defective” and dangerous. The suit states: “Deodorant is not intended to cause burning, rashes, irritation and other discomfort.” It seems people will sue

By Admin by Thomas Corriher – Health Wyze Shingles (herpes zoster) is a secondary outbreak of the chicken pox virus. It can happen decades after the original infection. It is usually less severe the second time. It may occur for people who have had either chicken pox or the chicken pox vaccination. It is often caused by the vaccine, and people who get the vaccine strain years after a vaccination get a much worse version of shingles. It is an opportunistic virus that will strike whenever the immune system is sufficiently impaired. Those who have never contracted chicken pox are

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola When you’re in the midst of your daily grind — to-do lists, work deadlines, cooking, cleaning, children’s activities and the like — you’re probably not thinking about what you could do to feel happier. There’s no time for that, and your mind is probably occupied with more important, or at least more pressing, matters. But if you do stop to think about it, few things are more important than happiness. If you’re living day to day simply by going through the motions, you’re missing out on living — you’re missing out on life. The

People’s huge appetite for organics has been ignored by Big Ag for so long that land to grow food organically in the U.S. is rather scarce. Currently, organic farming acres make up less than one percent of total U.S. farmland. Instead of growing our own, we’re importing a bunch of organic corn, soy, and other products every year.

Tree pollen is a common springtime allergen, although often people have allergies to three or four species of trees and plants. Airborne mold spores represent another common culprit. Monitoring outdoor pollen counts can be helpful, but you’ll only benefit from staying indoors on high-count days if the elevated levels include pollens to which you’re allergic (allergy testing can help you determine your individual allergies).
