By Mike Barrett A recent study has found that consuming more nuts was associated with decreased overall and cardiovascular disease mortality – associated with death rates cut by as much as a fifth. The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, involved 71,764 people living in the southern US and 134,265 Chinese people – one a cohort of men, the other of women – living in Shanghai, China. The research showed that nut intake was linked to a lower risk of total mortality (death from any cause), and death from cardiovascular disease. ‘Conclusions and Relevance Nut consumption was associated with decreased [More]
Polysorbate 80 and other emulsifiers commonly found in pharmaceuticals, vaccines, cosmetics and many foods have been found to negatively affect the immune system and affect fertility.

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist Post) How can we feed the world—today and tomorrow? The biggest players in the food industry—from pesticide pushers to fertilizer makers to food processors and manufacturers—spend billions of dollars every year not selling food, but selling the idea that we need their products to feed the world. But, do we really need industrial agriculture to feed the world? Can sustainably grown food deliver the quantity and quality we need—today and in the future? Our first Food MythBusters film takes on these questions in under seven minutes. So next time you hear them, you can too. Visit FoodMyths.org [More]

By Barbara Minton Monsanto is now instantly recognized as the company dominating the global food supply with its more than 7000 current worldwide patents. But today’s Monsanto is not a corporate newcomer. Although its literature heralds the company as having a clear and principled code of conduct and a pledge to demonstrate integrity, respect, ethical behavior, and honesty in everything they do, the truth is that this company has a legacy of contamination and cover-up that dates back more than a century. The Rise of one of ‘The Worst Corporations in the World’ At the turn of the 19th century, [More]
Many are still hypnotized by all the propaganda on influenza. Over 200 different types of viruses can cause a cold, and only a rare few can cause the flu. According to CDC data, in over the last decade, 86% of all influenza-type illnesses (ILI) were NOT caused by the influenza virus, thus influenza viruses are ONLY active 14% of the time. …read more Read more here: Prevent Disease

The months to ponder and await spring. And the time of the fitness doldrums. The wind is out of your sails. The post-holiday motivation/panic and New Year’s inspiration to get and to stay fit and healthy has ebbed. Spring Break and summer beach-body have not yet crept into your mind’s eye.

By juicingkids.com As parents we are aware of nutritional guidelines ‘serves’ idea. How many ‘serves’ of fruit and vegetables we should consume (as a minimum) on a daily basis is a regular topic of interest – especially in the media. Of even greater interest is how many ‘serves’ our kids need to consume, to grow their mind and body to its full potential. Unfortunately, study after study has found that most children and adults in the Western World don’t get enough ‘serves’ in a day, and especially not enough serves of vegetables. Juicing delivers more than just ‘serves’ of fruit [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Modern industrial farming, deforestation, overfishing, and other unsustainable practices are exhausting Earth’s natural resources at an alarming rate. More than a billion people have no access to safe drinking water, while 70 percent of the world’s fresh water is going to agriculture.1 Our soil is depleting 13 percent faster than it can be replaced, and we’ve lost 75 percent of best soils in just the last hundred years. Almost one-third of all vertebrate species are currently threatened or endangered, and 60 percent of the world’s ecological systems are nearing collapse. Researchers believe we’ve entered [More]
By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) Survivors who took large, daily dose of prescription-only capsules showed less decline in heart functionWEDNESDAY, March 4, 2015 (HealthDay News) — High doses of omega-3 fatty acids may protect against further damage in heart attack patients, a preliminary study suggests. The research included 374 heart attack survivors who received standard treatment and took either a 4-gram prescription-only dose of omega-3 fatty acids each day or a placebo. The researchers said that people probably couldn’t get that level of omega-3 fatty acids from diet alone. To illustrate how large a dose that is, the researchers noted that 4 [More]

By Robert Harrington With the back-to-nature movement of the 1970’s came a whole slough of New Age health prescriptions. One of those was the blanket recommendation to drink 8 glasses of water a day. While drinking more water can help greatly to improve health, drinking too much water can actually be hurting many. Many now carry their bottle of water with them everywhere they go. They are sure to drink their daily equivalent of 8 glasses of water whether they’re not thirsty or not. Some of these folks now qualify as aquaholics who are visibly disturbed when they are deprived [More]

By Christina Sarich “The US government and leading scientific institutions have systematically misrepresented the facts about GMO.” The famous zoologist Jane Goodall, who worked with monkeys in their native habitat at the Gombe Stream Reserve at Lake Tanganyika in the 1970’s, is joining a prominent activist lawyer, Steven Druker, to reveal the mockery of truth Big Biotech and the US government have made over genetically modified foods. Steven Druker has written a book detailing it all titled “Altered Genes, Twisted Truth” which features Dame Jane Goodall, who has called it one of the most important books in the last 50 [More]
By Jefferey Jaxen A monumental ethical issue is hovering over the entire medical establishment in the United States that threatens its integrity and trust. The human element is being removed from the equation, replaced by computers to give us our options, and legislation to remove our choice in medical care. Somewhere in the shuffle, the individual’s informed consent was broken down, lost in the paperwork, and made irrelevant. Informed consent is the process by which the treating health care provider discloses appropriate information to their patient so that the patient may make a voluntary choice to accept or refuse treatment.

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) Washington, D.C., March 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Physicians and public health officials know that recently vaccinated individuals can spread disease and that contact with the immunocompromised can be especially dangerous. For example, the Johns Hopkins Patient Guide warns the immunocompromised to “Avoid contact with children who are recently vaccinated,” and to “Tell friends and family who are sick, or have recently had a live vaccine (such as chicken pox, measles, rubella, intranasal influenza, polio or smallpox) not to visit.”1 A statement on the website of St. Jude’s Hospital warns parents not to allow people to visit [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola When it comes to food, there’s no comparison between slow food and fast food. Where slow food is the result of careful growing and harvesting, gentle and thoughtful preparation and cooking, and, finally, taking the time to savor each bite… fast food is the result of a cookie-cutter convenience approach. As fast food has infiltrated society, levels of chronic disease have risen. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that half of Americans suffer from at least one chronic illness, while such diseases cause 70 percent of US deaths every year. [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Globally, $374 billion is spent on snacks each year. Nielsen’s 2014 Global Survey of Snacking revealed that many people are seeking out snacks with all-natural ingredients – 45 percent said natural snacks are very important and 32 percent said they’re moderately important.1 People are also looking for cleaner ingredients labels. Forty-four percent said they want snacks with no artificial colors, followed closely by no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and artificial flavors. Of course, the best snacks are whole foods… not those with ingredients labels at all. But major food companies are taking note …read [More]
By Robert Harrington “Moving clocks ahead an hour for daylight saving means more evening sun. But it can also cause ‘microsleeps’ – nodding off with potentially dangerous consequences – until we adapt.“[1] Many individuals throughout Western society are experiencing insomnia and other sleep conditions more frequently. Because of this predicament in our “already overworked, sleep-deprived country,’ shifting the time by one hour twice a year to accommodate Daylight Savings Time (DST) now has greater significance than ever. It now takes less of life’s daily stresses to produce ‘microsleeps’ during the day which then interrupt both work and play. “Susceptibility to [More]
By Debi Elison-Warsat When people become sick, most of the time they rush to the doctor’s office to get medication to mask the problem and not actually become better. Natural remedies are the way to go, and this one is actually famous! This recipe was created by a Brazilian monk who goes by the name of Romano Zago. You only need a few ingredients, and if you are a health nut like me you probably already have it.

The petition is short, sweet, and to the point: No human being should be FORCED to be vaccinated against their will and/or personal/religious beliefs. I petition against making vaccinations of any kind mandatory. This includes forcing children to be vaccinated to attend public schools, …read more Read more [More]
By Mariana Sarceda For decades, those people slightly or heavily overweighed were told by nutritionists and health experts that the best way of getting rid of those unwanted extra pounds was to stick to a long term and steady diet plan. Apparently, losing weight gradually was much better than following any of the more popular and much advertised crash diet plans that offered almost instant weight loss. Diet plans such as the 3 day military diet, the astronaut diet, the cabbage soup diet, the grapefruit diet or the Scarsdale Diet are examples of these nutrition plans that have been traditionally [More]
