By Debi Elison-Warsat We have all been there, those long nights filled with drinks and friends; we also know the day after a long night of drinking. We all know that the day after comes along with a hangover, but what you didn’t know is that it could have some more serious effects. History tells us that the selling of alcohol was banned in the United States between 1920 and 1939, but why was this? Men would drink whisky at all times of the day often becoming violent and aggressive. They would sometimes be unable to work, would get sick [More]

By Debi Elison-Warsat If you are an avid bike rider, you are going to love this! Reflective paint company Albedo 100 has teamed up with Volvo to create LifePaint, a spray paint that can be applied to clothing, backpacks, and bicycles to develop a reflective coating that will keep you safe at night.

That is when it glows to ensure that the driver can make out the cyclist up ahead. The product is known as LifePaint, but [More]
By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) Researchers caution against the use of these fish oils, while undergoing chemo By Heather Callaghan A breast cancer survivor once told me that she was ordered to stop drinking green tea while undergoing chemotherapy so that the chemo would have a chance “to take.” The green tea was fighting off the drug’s effects. It turns out, other substances have chemo-thwarting tendencies. Researchers have noticed that certain compounds make chemotherapy drugs less lethal towards the target. Are these substances “protecting the tumor” or strengthening the body to point it pushes away chemotherapy? Emile E. Voest, M.D., Ph.D., of [More]
By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) by Joshua Krause Nobody ever said there were too many ways to clean water. When it comes to the one resource that you need more than any other, it’s a good idea to learn as many methods of filtration as you can, because the situations you might find yourself in without clean water, are highly variable. The tools that are available in one situation may be lacking in another, so you should have a long list of water filtration methods in your head. One of the easiest methods you may not have been aware of, involves …read [More]
By Brock Schilling One extremely important aspect of laying out a garden is knowing which plants work well together. That’s where companion planting comes in. Many plants have natural substances in their roots, flowers, leaves etc. that can alternately repel and/or attract insects depending on your needs. In some situations they can also help enhance the growth rate and flavor of other varieties. Experience has shown us that using companion planting throughout a vegetable garden is an important part of pest management, and plant growth. Some plants require different root space, and use up more water than others, so think [More]
By Brock Schilling One of the handiest plants that you can grow can be used as a bandage, a medicine, and even used as toilet paper in a pinch. This is one plant that deserves some space in your garden. Wooly Lamb’s Ear (botanical name Stachys byzantina), has been used for centuries as a wound dressing. Not only do the soft, fuzzy leaves absorb blood and help it to clot more quickly, they also contain antibacterial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. How handy is that? It’s like a medicinally treated bandage all from your garden. On top of that, you can [More]

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Catherine J. Frompovich According to Wikipedia, “A kangaroo court is a judicial tribunal or assembly that blatantly disregards recognized standards of law or justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides. Merriam-Webster defines it as “a mock court in which the principles of law and justice are disregarded or perverted“.[1] The term may also apply to a court held by a legitimate judicial authority who intentionally disregards the court’s legal or ethical obligations.” [1] [CJF emphasis added] The last sentence I emphasized, I think, truly …read more Read [More]
By Rocky Choi The commitment to create optimal health in life requires focus. One way to do this is to make it a clear objective that’s written down on paper or typed into one of your mobile devices. You then make a habit of looking at this objective twice on a daily basis. You might want to look for wonderful images which remind you of your objective. These images can be placed around your house or apartment. Or, you might place them on your mobile device. After you’ve established your objective of optimal health by keeping it constantly in your [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Many have been successfully brainwashed into believing that their cholesterol levels must reach a certain set low point in order to avoid heart disease. As a result, one in four Americans aged 45 and over take cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, despite the fact that the risks are very high and side effects grossly underreported. Statin drugs work by blocking the enzyme in your liver that is responsible for making cholesterol. Yes, your liver makes cholesterol because you need cholesterol and it is essential for your very survival. Cholesterol helps produce cell membranes, and in addition [More]

By Debi Elison-Warsat Back pain is nothing to mess around with. But it is something that we all seem to suffer from at one point or another. Anything can trigger it; excessive sitting or lying, irregular exercise, stretching wrong or lifting heavy items; no matter what triggers it, what can get rid of it? I know the feeling I often sleep in the same position for hours on end, but when I wake up I have a shooting lower back pain that seems never to want to go away. If you are feeling unpleasant discomfort when you are awake take [More]

If you’re on the fence, and keep thinking ‘should I vaccinate or not?’, here’s a short list of problems that should shock us all into perhaps considering vaccination. …read more Read more here: Prevent Disease     
By Nina Cacic The use of kratom, a plant that is indigenous to the South Pacific, has become known mostly through word of mouth as a way to manage withdrawing from opiate painkillers. More people are learning about the beneficial properties of the plant and prefer to go the natural route to break the shackles of addiction. The more people talk about kratom, the more legislators are growing concerned with the plant being widely available. With about 2.4 million Americans ages 12 and up addicted to opiate painkillers (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2014) and more becoming addicted each year, [More]

By Herw Cruciferous vegetables include vegetables like arugula, collard greens, turnips, watercress, broccoli, cabbage, kale, and cauliflower to name a few. Cruciferous vegetables are great anti-cancer foods because they are high in nutrients that neutralize free radicals. They also contain nutrients like carotenoids, vitamins and important minerals. More importantly cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates. ~Glucosinolate compounds contain sulfur-containing chemicals that boost Phase II detoxification enzymes to promote antioxidant activity and reduce risks associated with developing different cancers. Glucosinolates are broken down to indoles, thiocyanates, isothiocyanates and nitriles during chewing and metabolism of these foods. Research has shown that these compounds inhibit [More]

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist Post) Antibiotic resistance is poised to spread globally among bacteria frequently implicated in respiratory and urinary infections in hospital settings, according to new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The study shows that two genes that confer resistance against a particularly strong class of antibiotics can be shared easily among a family of bacteria responsible for a significant portion of hospital-associated infections. Drug-resistant germs in the same family of bacteria recently infected several patients at two Los Angeles hospitals. The infections have been linked to medical scopes believed to have been contaminated with [More]
By ca day Scientists and technology have come a long way. Scientists have created an insulin-producing cell that could replace injections. Scientists from the University of Technology in Sydney Australia have developed a line of insulin-producing cells that can eliminate the need for type 1 diabetics to inject themselves with insulin. The cells were derived from liver cells. PharmaCyte Biotech has acquired something called Cell-in-a-Box system which is a tiny cellulos-based ‘capsule’ that can hold artificial cells that integrate them in the human body. The platform is used to develop treatments for any disease where cells aren’t release the molecules [More]
