What do regions where a significant percentage of the people live past age 100 have in common? As it turns out, quite a bit. In September 2009, Dan Buettner gave a TED Talk in Saint Paul, Minnesota, focused on finding the answer to that very question. His presentation explored the habits of people living in ‘blue zones,’ areas of the world with the largest number of centenarians (people 100 years old or older). The worldwide winners were Okinawa, Japan, and Sardinia, an island off of the coast of Italy. In the United States, the winning area was Loma Linda, California. [More]
Have you ever heard or spoken the tired line of “single-dom” – but if I don’t get married, I might choke alone and die and no one will ever find me in my apartment until weeks later… But married people choke too – anyone can and they might be alone. The method of running into or bending over a couch arm has worked for people, but it doesn’t seem fail proof when you think of the abdomen clenching up in anticipation. And, what if there is no furniture; what if you are driving; what if you are too weak to [More]
An increasing number of people are moving into urban environments and away from traditional agriculture. As a consequence, those who have a mind for self-sufficiency can find themselves falling short. Storable foods are of course an important part of every emergency prepper’s pantry, but storable foods are not a sound long-term solution that contain optimal nutrition. Even produce from farmers markets and store-bought organic food will lose peak freshness faster than one might imagine. Alanna Ketler from Collective-Evolution explains: Most people do not realize that vegetables will lose about half of their nutrients within the first week of being picked. [More]
“Now it appears we not only have to be concerned about eating GMO foods but also breathing in the toxic chemicals associated with their growing as well! It looks like we are all a part of a giant experiment with as yet unknown and likely serious consequences.”  Admin Thursday, February 20th 2014 at 1:00 pm Written By: Sayer Ji, Founder Roundup Weedkiller Found In 75% of Air and Rain Samples, Gov. Study Finds The GM farming system has made exposure to Roundup herbicide a daily fact of our existence, and according to the latest US Geological Survey study its probably [More]
“The news about GMO health risks just keep piling up.”  Admin The inclusion of genetically modified (GM) plants in the human diet has raised concerns about the transfer of transgenes from GM plants to humans. Contrary to the claims by biotech giants such as Monsanto, a report in PLOS One shows that that meal-derived DNA fragments are large enough to carry complete genes as they enter the human circulatory system. In some of the human samples studied the relative concentration of plant DNA was higher than the human DNA. The potential effects of horizontal gene transfer on human health have [More]
“I learned long ago to take with a grain of salt any comments by the “medical establishment” as to the value of nutritional supplements. You’ll see in this article how they used the results of a ridiculous study to try and discredit Vit D supplements while ignoring tons of research documenting its importance. Take charge of your health, do your own research and don’t let some authority figure flimflam you with bogus information.”  Admin Last November, researchers at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research1 declared that vitamin supplements are probably useless when it comes to preventing heart disease and/or [More]
“Excellent article on the importance of Vit K2 and the crucial role it plays in helping transport Calcium properly in the body. Since reading this I will be incorporating K2 in the supplements I take.”  Admin Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin most well known for the important role it plays in blood clotting. However, many do not realize that there are different kinds of vitamin K, and they are completely different. The health benefits of vitamin K2 go far beyond blood clotting, which is done by vitamin K1, and vitamin K2 also works synergistically with a number of other [More]
“Besides eating the marvelous apple you can combine it with other wonderful things like bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, pears, cantaloupes to make great super healthy smoothies. Here are hundreds of smoothie recipes with user ratings that you can make.”  Admin Folklore has always claimed an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Now we also know apples are fast-acting. Eating just one a day for a month can get you significant cardiovascular benefits. Researchers at Ohio State University found eating one apple every day for just four weeks can lower blood levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein – commonly called the “bad” [More]
Posted on: 02/13/14 How many kids will become guinea pigs for this unapproved new vaccine? When the CDC shouts “outbreak,” you better run for cover. Who knows what’s next? Maybe hazmat-suited doctors will be walking the streets keeping us quarantined at gunpoint (or should Dustin Hoffman be brought in to save the day)? What’s happening now in New Jersey and California is even worse than a fast-track drug approval. And only one group is smiling as a result of this media-hyped “outbreak” scare…the CDCs drug-making friends at Novartis. Our story begins with an unapproved drug getting rushed in from Europe [More]
“Just goes to show that what the people want is of no concern to the autocrats in Brussels or in the US. In fact the US has been pushing these toxic GMO crops world wide.”  Admin A majority of EU countries on Tuesday expressed opposition to the cultivation of a new genetically modified maize in Europe, yet the bloc’s executive body, the European Commission, could be set to green-light the crop anyway. At the meeting in Brussels, 19 countries, including France, said they were against the approval of Pioneer’s GM maize known as 1507, and four countries abstained during the [More]
9 Reasons Processed Foods May Make You Sick and Fat I have long stated that if you want to be optimally healthy, you should spend 90 percent of your food budget on whole foods, and only 10 percent on processed foods. Unfortunately most Americans currently do the opposite, and their health suffers as a result. With most foods, the closer they are to nature, the better. It’s possible to have some processed foods that are still healthy; for instance, frozen green beans have been “processed” as has butter, grass-fed ground beef, or freshly prepared almond butter. In most cases, however, [More]
“Article talks about a recent study showing that fish oil, among its many benefits, may even help fight the onset of Alzheimer’s. I take 5 Vitacost Mega EFA mini gel capsules daily which supply 1000 mg EPA and 500 mg DHA. They are molecularly distilled to insure maximum purity and have a natural strawberry flavor added to eliminates any “fish” taste. I have no association with Vitacost, just really like this product because I notice sharper thinking and memory function when I take it.”  Admin I’ve written to you before about the vast health benefits of fish oil, and today [More]
“Excellent article with a lot of interesting information on Monsanto, it’s shareholders meeting and how our government is doing all it can to push these frankenfoods world wide. You can read articles and watch videos on this site that document the dangers of GMO crops so why is all this evidence being ignored? What’s the real agenda behind the pushing of these crops everywhere?”  Admin At a January 2014 Monsanto shareholders’ meeting, two rather disturbing trends took place (though, admittedly, neither was entirely surprising). First, it was readily apparent that the company has no intention of taking steps to label [More]
If you eat eggs, the variety you choose can make a big difference in nutrition. Conventional, organic, free-range or pastured? Terminology can be confusing or downright misleading. Mother Earth News decided to cut through the hearsay by testing pastured eggs to see if they lived up to their reputation as a higher quality food. The results may surprise you. Read More  Searching for Good Eggs: Which Type is Best – Organic, Free-Range, Pastured or Cage-Free? – Healthy Debates | Healthy Debates.
“All the more reason to drink RO (reverse osmosis) purified water.” Admin Harvard’s announcement continues: The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15.   Some studies suggested that even slightly increased fluoride exposure could be toxic to the brain. Thus, children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas. The children studied were up to 14 years of age, but the investigators speculate that any toxic effect on brain development may have happened earlier, [More]
“I take 5 Vitacost Mega EFA mini gel capsules daily which supply 1000 mg EPA and 500 mg DHA. They are molecularly distilled to insure maximum purity and have a natural strawberry flavor added to eliminates any “fish” taste. I have no association with Vitacost, just really like this product because I notice sharper thinking and memory function when I take it.”  Admin Omega-3 rich fish oil is one of the most well-researched nutrients on the market. Its wide ranging health benefits have been repeatedly proven, and animal-based omega-3 fats are one of the few supplements I recommend for virtually [More]
The list of government recommendations on healthy and unhealthy foods over the last several decades have been as reliable as trying to pick the right numbers on a lottery ticket. There are numerous examples of foods we were told not to consume, but are now at the top of grocery lists thanks to a savvy public who are no longer fooled by irresponsible recommendations based on corporate greed. We have become more informed on the downfalls of short-sighted advice from old-school nutritionists, who really had very little understanding of nutrition at all. Here are the top 5 things we now [More]
On par with Stalin’s farm collectivization program of the 1930s, Monsanto’s push (to the tune of $8.8 million in lobby bribes in 2008 alone) for the Food Safety Modernization Act is already achieving the nightmares of its worst critics. Introduced in 2008 by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) as HR-875, the reworked FSMA was signed into law in January 2011 by President Obama. DeLauro’s husband, Stanley Greenberg, served as a consultant to Monsanto through his strategic political consulting firm, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research. (GQRR also advised Tony Blair and Bill Clinton during their campaigns.) Nothing in FSMA addresses the food safety [More]
A Gary Null Production WAR ON HEALTH: The FDA’s Cult of Tyranny Introduced by the director (from his speech at the world premiere in New York City, June 15, 2012) In the near future, American medical practice may change dramatically for the worse. No longer will maximal dose natural supplements—vitamins, natural compounds, and scientifically proven medicinal herbs—be available over the counter in local health and grocery stores. Holistic practice, which relies upon non-prescription natural treatments instead of Big Pharma drugs prescribed life-long, will diminish. American healthcare will be imprisoned, patients will be forced to abide by a single medical paradigm [More]
Looking for an alternative to toothpastes loaded with sulfates and other toxic ingredients such as fluoride? Mainstream science has now fully recognized the ‘miracle’ powers of coconut oil to not only combat tooth decay and drastically improve overall mouth health, but also to specifically crush a yeast known as candida albicans that can lead to deadly infections. This ‘news’ likely comes as nothing more than further confirmation for many, as natural health practicioners have been recommending coconut oil for years. Read More  Coconut Oil Is Now Called a “Miracle” Dental Bacteria Killer – NewsSum.
“One more study showing just how unsafe GMO crops are yet all this data is being ignored and these frankenfoods are being pushed on everyone. Clearly there is another agenda at work here and it has nothing to do with our health and safety.” Admin An important new manuscript accepted for publication in the journal Food Chemistry disproves the widely held notion that GMO crops are ‘substantially equivalent’ to their traditional counterparts; a notion which forms the basis for national and international agencies – including the U.S. FDA, the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization [More]
A couple of years back, 600 million people in India were without power for two days. It was not only lights out – but lights out for half of the population. Can you imagine the chaos? More recently, there have been significant power outages in North America. In late October 2012, Hurricane Sandy brought high winds and coastal flooding to a large portion of the eastern United States, leaving an estimated 8 million customers without power. Not quite as bad but serious none-the-less, the ice storms of December 2013 cumulatively left over 1 million people without power …. Read More  [More]
Coke is the most valuable brand in history and “Coca-Cola” is the world’s second-most recognized word after “hello.” However, the beverage itself is an absolute poison to the human metabolism. Coke is very close to the acidity level of battery acid and consequently it can clean surfaces equivalent to and often better than many toxic household cleaners. It’s cheaper and easier to buy Coke in some third world countries than it is to access clean water. Coke uses “public relations propaganda” to convince consumers and entire nations that it is an “environmental company” when really it is linked to pollution, [More]
Pesticide evaluations dishonest and misleading, new study shows GMWatch, 31 January 2014 •Pesticide formulations as sold and used are up to 1000 times more toxic than the isolated substance that is tested and evaluated for safety •Roundup the most toxic of herbicides and insecticides tested •Flawed safety evaluations put public health at risk Does the fact that a pesticide is approved by regulators mean it is safe? A new study suggests not – and casts into question the assumptions on which all regulatory authorizations of pesticides are based. Pesticides are authorized for use based on medium- or long-term tests on [More]
As demand for local and raw goods continue to rise, more people are asking – where do I find local organic? Where do I find raw milk and join a herd share? Where are the farmers markets, co-ops and stands? …. So where are they all hiding? As it turns out, many of the farmers and markets you’re looking for have teamed up with certain websites to be mapped. Use this easy list to find yours today. They won’t all be on the same map, but you will be sure to find markets and family farms in your area that [More]
“The drive to force GMO food on everyone is mind boggling almost like an obsession. There are plenty of articles and videos on this site you can read and watch documenting the dangers of GMO crops yet this appears to be of no concern to the powers that be. Could this be part of a depopulation program, we certainly know it’s not being done for our health.”  Admin Apparently GMOs are so awesome and wonderful, the companies that sell them are doing everything they can to keep people from knowing it. The Organic Consumers Association is reporting that the Grocery [More]
Many individuals have heard it a million times, but for the uninformed, or those just looking to fuel their 2014 fire to finally defeat Monsanto and their cronies, you’ll be interested to know that Monsanto’s Bt-toxin is far from ‘safe’ as the chemical company claimed it would be when filing their papers with the FDA. New research from Canada show that BT toxins are showing up in pregnant women, and low and behold – they are killing human embryo cells. 2014 is the year of the horse, but we’re not through beating this one to death.
