By Andrew New research has shown that a unique mint herb from Brazil can reduce pain as much as conventional painkillers, making a brew of mint tea an effective cure for stomach ache, headaches and period pains. The Hyptis crenata herb has long been used in Brazil to treat mild pain, but until now it had never been subjected to scientific testing. To find out if the herb really works as a pain reliever, researchers at the University of Newcastle consulted Brazilian healers to find out how they prepare the tea. They then made up a solution for mice containing

By Robert Harrington Survivalist communities and preppers all over America have learned that properly tilled land can produce tremendous amounts of food. Well-balanced soil is quite generous and will give back much more than it receives. A few organic seeds, adequate watering, and some rich compost can provide even a novice farmer with a bountiful harvest. Ever since Big Agra took over the farming of America’s vast farmlands, most people are disconnected from the process of food production from seed to table. Agribusiness has so thoroughly monopolized farming and husbandry that many children in the cities think that the food

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Being “happy” is something that feels intrinsically good, but pinning down exactly what happiness is can be a challenge. Words to describe happiness include optimism, joy, success, and well-being, each which may play a varying role in your own idea of happiness. What makes one person happy is often different from the next, but one common theme prevails, which is that being happy is associated with better health. Happy people tend to eat healthier, exercise more, and get better sleep than those who are stressed out or depressed – all habits associated with health.

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Dr. Jack Wolfson Have you heard of POTS? POTS is an acronym for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. This condition is usually diagnosed in young women. Symptoms include palpitations, lightheadedness, and even fainting. I have witnessed this many times in my career as a cardiologist. I performed thousands of tilt-table tests to help determine the cause of a fainting spell. POTS, like most diagnoses, does not have an identifiable cause according to most cardiologists. Until now. A recent study provides a link to the Gardasil vaccine and POTS. 35 women developed this condition after the Gardasil vaccine.

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By now we have all heard about how dangerous GMOs, processed food, gluten, and pretty much all food products are terrible for us. There are so many scary stories and urban legends out there, you’d think we were still living in the days of Sinclair’s The Jungle. Here’s the truth: bad things do happen and there are companies out there (*ahem* Monsanto *ahem*) that care more about their bottom line than making sure that the food they mass produce is healthy enough for consumption.

“The “War on Cancer” started by Nixon in 1973 has been a dismal failure as the statistics certainly show. The mainstream medical establishment and drug makers will never find a cure since it’s such a massively lucrative business, who wants to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. It also explains why alternative treatments are ignored or ruthlessly suppressed.” Admin If you are an American, there is a 1 in 3 chance that you will get cancer during your lifetime. If you are a man, the odds are closer to 1 in 2. And almost everyone in America either

Preppers are always looking to learn additional skills and methods for survival. In some cases knowledge comes from reading prepper blogs like the Prepper Journal. Other times, you can obtain training from reputable instructors in disciplines like self-defense, weapons training and first aid. Yet another source that many people use are books. Books are a great prepper resource in my opinion that you shouldn’t neglect as part of your prepping efforts. They might not replace skills you can acquire by other means, but they are something that you may be able to fall back on as a source of information.

By Christina Sarich A new study from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) predicts fifty percent more women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the next few decades, with more than 441,000 new cases expected in the US by 2030. The study points to an aging population as the reason why we can expect such a dramatic leap in breast cancer cases, but is that the real reason why women’s health is increasingly in jeopardy? While women have begun literally removing ovaries and breasts from their bodies, as Angelina Jolie is now famous for, the real cancer-causing culprits continue to

The EPA will simply place the blame on farmers. That’s right, you suspected all along about cancer, but what about those 32 species of Roundup-resistant weeds that have cropped up all over the US? Farmers will now be required by the EPA to take part in stewardship programs similar to those already imposed on Agent Orange

By Christina Sarich The overuse of antibiotics is destroying our gut bacteria. Not only do antibiotics cause depleted immunity, but since the gut is often referred to as our second brain, they are also seriously affecting our mental health.

The study revealed that antibiotics are permanently destroying beneficial bacteria within the gut, a condition scientists link to mental illness. Apparently the
