By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The Mediterranean diet emphasizes fresh vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats, particularly olive oil, while downplaying processed foods. This combination is undoubtedly part of its many health benefits, which includes the reversal of metabolic syndrome, improving body composition, and normalizing your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Extra virgin olive oil is clearly one of the “good fats” that should be included in your diet. Just keep in mind that it should not be used to cook with, as it is highly susceptible to oxidative damage when heated. Instead, it should be added cold to salads

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Dena Schmidt (NaturalHealth365) One of the foundational causes of disease, aging, low life span and death is faulty DNA repair in the cells. While our DNA is continually being damaged throughout our lives by both external and internal stressors, a healthy body actively and effectively works to repair this damage. However, as we get older, this internal DNA repair process becomes less effective. Poor lifestyle choices can also make our bodies less effective at cellular repair, whereas more effective DNA repair means higher resistance to illness and the effects of aging. How can we support DNA

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Natasha Longo Insects are a staple food in many diets around the world, however Iron Cross Blister Beetles are usually not on the menu. Food Inspection Agencies in Canada and the United States are on alert after the toxic beetles have been turning up in organic salads and packages of leafy greens. There are several reasons to grow your own organic food, and pest control is often one of them. Although rare, fresh produce can harbour insects that may be injurious to consumers. The Iron Cross Blister beetle is very distinctively coloured, with a bright red

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Eighty-five percent of Americans believe it’s important to have times when they are completely alone and away from anyone else, according to a recent Pew survey. Another 55 percent believe this is very important while 30 percent say it’s somewhat important.1 This desire for occasional solitude gives your body and, perhaps more importantly, your mind space and time to just be in the moment, experiencing it with your full attention and focus. It turns out alone time of this sort is highly rewarding. If you’ve ever hesitated to …read more Read more here: mercola

If you align yourself with the misinformation that comes out of the sunscreen and cancer industries and combine that with the absurd advice from dermatologists, you get a wonderful cocktail of nonsense sure to accelerate any cancer you may be trying to prevent. Then again, that’s what the cancer industry wants. Not only does blocking the sun’s rays from reaching your skin dramatically reduce optimal vitamin D levels, but when you use any conventional sunscreen, it’s like spreading cancer right into your skin. Here’s why “sun damage” is a term you should erase from your vocabulary and learn how to

By Christina Sarich In case it didn’t make it to your news table, the United States Department of Agriculture (headed by Tom Vilsack, Monsanto’s best buddy) has recently (in January) approved two more Monsanto-owned genetically modified crops – new strains of both GM corn and soy. Is it any question now who is running our government in the US? Monsanto is calling the shots, not the people who vote for Congress and Senate members. “Today [January], the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the sale and planting of Monsanto’s genetically engineered dicamba-tolerant soybeans and cotton. This approval follows that of 2,4-D

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Mounting research shows there’s a compelling link between a particular kind of protein and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Lou Gehrig’s disease. What’s so intriguing about that is this protein, called TDP-43, behaves like toxic and infectious proteins known as prions, which are responsible for the brain destruction that occurs in Mad Cow and Chronic Wasting Disease;1 two types of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Mad Cow Disease affects cows, while Chronic Wasting Disease is a neurological disease found in deer and elk. As explained in Scientific American:2 “Prions are …read more Read

The American Medical Association (AMA) has, for over one hundred years, trained the American public to only trust their licensed medical doctors. But what happens when one of them – a cardiac surgeon of all things – charismatically fulfills the hungry consumer market for health information? He must be stopped! The AMA has launched a new campaign to cut down Dr. Oz of The Dr. Oz Show in order to preserve their medical dogma. In the process, they – with the help of the willing media – have called him a quack espousing “pseudo-science” (i.e. anything not Big Pharma-approved) and

You probably already know that the FDA has declared war on raw milk and even helped fund and coordinate armed government raids against raw milk farmers and distributors. Yes, it’s insane. This brand of tyranny is unique to the USA and isn’t even conducted in China, North Kora or Cuba. Only in the USA are raw milk farmers treated like terrorists. But now the situation is getting even more insane than you could have imagined: the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) have filed a petition with the FDA asking the FDA to alter

By Sarah Warren St. Pierre Sciatica is one of the most common conditions I see in my practice. For reasons I’ll explain below, it often goes along with back pain, which 80% of Americans will experience at some point in their lives. Luckily, sciatica is typically relieved when the underlying cause—chronic muscular tightness—is addressed. What is Sciatica? The sciatic nerve is the largest and thickest nerve in the human body. Nerves exiting the spine between the fourth lumbar vertebra and the third sacral vertebra come together to form the sciatic nerve, which runs through the buttocks and all the way

By Bette Dowdell It’s more than a little depressing when somebody smiles at your stomach and asks when your due date is, and you’re not pregnant. Especially if you’re a guy. And trying to explain about bloating isn’t much of a comeback, to tell the truth. These people also don’t understand when you moan about how you can’t believe you ate the whole thing, and you’re sporting a washboard stomach–a lesser-known form of bloating. Bloating is abdominal discomfort, with or without distention, a polite word for looking like you swallowed a watermelon. Whole. And odds are excellent you know exactly
