By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most commonly used medicines. Unfortunately, their side effects can put you at risk. For example, you’re probably familiar with ibuprofen side effects like a heart attack and stomach bleeding. But recent studies reveal a new side effect – alteration in testicular physiology. The side effects of ibuprofen are already concerning. However, they’ve only been studied in patients taking normal, ‘recommended doses.’ The big problem is: people often take a lot more ibuprofen than recommended. What does this mean to all the men out there? If …read [More]
By Dr. Mercola Known as a multipurpose herb and “rejuvenator” used in ancient Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years, ashwagandha1 (Withania somnifera) is a plant native to India with a host of bioactive functions. Ashwagandha is a member of the Solanaceae family along with eggplant and tomato. It bears light green flowers that evolve to bright red fruit and is able to survive extreme temperatures and widely varying altitudes.2 In Sanskrit, the word ashwagandha means “odor of a horse.” The likeness refers not only to the odor of the plant’s root but the essence of strength it’s said [More]

By Dr. Mercola Emotional eating and food addiction are very real problems, and the former can easily lead to the latter. While emotional eating is a universal phenomenon and won’t do any significant harm in the short term, if you find yourself reaching for comfort foods on a regular basis, it can lead to significant problems, both physical and psychological. Physically, emotional eating can lead to obesity and related health problems, and psychologically, it may delay or prevent you from addressing your true emotions and sources of stress. As clinical psychologist Susan Albers told Huffington Post, “ … [E]ating to [More]
By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) In the United States alone, we have well over 300,000 cases of COVID-19, and recent predictions from our government are not looking good. To make matters even more concerning, White House health experts warn that we could potentially see 100-240,000 deaths within the United States from this virus over the next several weeks. We can only hope that the true numbers will be revealed with accurate testing and reporting – in the near future. But, as Americans are feeling overwhelmed at what the next few weeks may bring, it’s stories of kindness that …read [More]
By Dr. Mercola When evaluating the safety of vaccines, adjuvants must be taken into account. The most commonly used vaccine adjuvant is aluminum,1 a demonstrated neurotoxin that is added to certain vaccines to increase your immune response and, with that, theoretically a higher response of protective antibodies. Despite aluminum’s known health risks, it’s widely suggested that aluminum in vaccines is safe, including for newborn babies, but a math error in a key U.S. Food and Drug Administration study2 — revealed by scientists at Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) — raises new safety concerns. When the aluminum adjuvant was first approved [More]
By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Vitamin D deficiency has become a global concern within the past several years, with studies showing that as many as 1 billion people across the world are deficient in vitamin D. And, to be more specific, we’re talking about cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Within the U.S., more than half of adults reportedly have low levels of this essential vitamin (actually a hormone). While these numbers are already concerning, they’re likely even higher as researchers discover that the previously recommended vitamin D levels were too low. This widespread deficiency is concerning due to the many roles [More]
As vaccine talks continue to emerge as the only ‘cure’ to this pandemic, what’s actually happening on the ground tells a different story. A Los Angeles doctor is reporting remarkable success in treating COVID-19 patients using a specific combination of zinc and hydroxychloroquine – the drug that is controversial regardless of it being inexpensive and readily available. Dr. Anthony Cardillo, an ER specialist and the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, has been prescribing the zinc and hydroxychloroquine combination on patients experiencing severe symptoms associated with COVID-19. In an interview with KABC-TV, Cardillo stated: “Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has [More]

By Dr. Mercola Can an inexpensive and easy to administer at-home treatment treat the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2? According to Dr. Thomas Levy,1 the answer is yes. The remedy in question is hydrogen peroxide, aerosolized in any standard nebulizer. Originally conceptualized in the early ’90s by Dr. Charles Farr,2,3 hydrogen peroxide treatment can successfully treat most viral respiratory illnesses, including coronavirus. According to Levy: “While different individuals can be expected to have variable degrees of positive response, this intervention can be anticipated to eliminate eventual fatal disease outcomes in all but the …read more Source: mercola     
By Dr. Mercola The U.S. was already on the brink of a mental health crisis before the COVID-19 pandemic. The associated stresses, which run the gamut from isolation and anxiety to unemployment and illness, are now threatening to create a mental health emergency among Americans. In a commentary by Dr. Jeffrey A. Lieberman published by Medscape Psychiatry,1 several gains that have been made toward mental health outcomes are highlighted, such as scientific advancements in the understanding of mental illness, and positive changes in social attitudes toward those who are mentally ill. Such advances do little, however, to offset the sad [More]
By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Integrative healthcare experts have long sounded the alarm about a “leaky gut” – and this digestive health issue to a variety of problems including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. And, while Western medicine has been slow to accept leaky gut as a medical syndrome, this is (finally!) beginning to change. Now, a particularly exciting study conducted with Crohn’s disease patients shows that a hormone (vitamin D) can substantially improve leaky gut. Of course, vitamin D is already receiving kudos from researchers for its potential to [More]
By Dr. Mercola Who wants to talk about poop? Well, unless you’re 5, it’s likely not a daily topic of conversation. But, if you’re constipated, it may be on your mind nearly every minute of the day until you find relief. Your poop can tell you a lot about your health. Its color, consistency, shape and form are important factors that reveal information about your intestinal health. How often you go is also an indicator. Straining can increase your risk of bowel and pelvic problems, while how you clean up afterward may have an impact on your exposure to pathogens. [More]
By Tess Pennington In times such as these, we are all looking for simple, economic and surefire ways to sustain ourselves. Bread is the ultimate comfort food, but given the food shortages, bread and especially yeast have become hard-to-find items at the store. I realize that a lot of people are scared right now with the pandemic crisis, but if you look around your kitchen, chances are you have what you need to sustain yourself – you just have to get creative. Years ago, I wrote an article on 3 ways to make your own yeast and wanted to expand [More]
By Dr. Mercola Many who are working from home or otherwise isolated during the coronavirus pandemic are looking for some positive news. Well, there is some good news when it comes to controlling the spread of the novel coronavirus now termed COVID-19. It may be that UV (ultraviolet) light will help dampen this pandemic. UV light is currently used in medical settings,1 wastewater treatment plants2 and food processing.3 Now, as COVID-19 grows, there is increased demand from hospitals and medical facilities for conventional UV lights and variations on such lamps.4 According to Crunchbase News:5 “[S]tartups that disinfect items …read more [More]
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) With weeks of “social distancing” now behind us, many of us are finding it hard not to feel overwhelmed by daily COVID-19 updates. As we enter April, the total number of worldwide cases is over one million, with nearly 60,000 confirmed deaths. With so much at risk, doctors are increasingly looking to high dose vitamin C as a potential therapy. Of course, the naysayers will claim that “believing” in vitamin C is a reckless pursuit or downplay its significance by saying it’s just a “snake oil” remedy. But, in reality, vitamin C has a [More]
By Dr. Mercola For everything there is a season, and that includes viruses. Whether it’s the common cold or flu viruses, in the U.S. the season begins in fall. By December, the viral spread is in full swing until it peaks in February. However, it’s different in the southern hemisphere where Africa, Australia and Brazil are approaching winter as the U.S. and most of Europe are sliding into spring and summer. For an understanding of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) currently spreading across the world, it helps to have some background on the virus that triggers flu. Interestingly influenza viruses1 and [More]
By Dr. Mercola In this time when many are seeking ways to disinfect their homes to avoid infection with COVID-19 and flu, some may be tempted to mix cleaning chemicals. Stress from the lack of disinfectants on grocery store shelves is compounded by daily headlines referencing the number who are infected or who have died from either of the viruses. It’s important to stay focused on what you can do to reduce your potential risk for infection. Cleaning surfaces at home and frequently washing your hands are two essential strategies, as you work to build your immune system to ward [More]
By Dr. Mercola Since the COVID-19 outbreak began, I’ve covered advice for how to effectively clean your hands and disinfect surfaces around your home, but what about food, like takeout and fresh produce? Could eating contaminated food cause you to contract the illness? According to News Channel 8,1 Virginia police are “warning of a ‘disturbing trend’ after a group of teens were caught on camera coughing on produce at a grocery store, then posting it on social media.” Shenanigans like this appears to be behind some of the fears and warnings about food …read more Source: mercola     
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Time for the latest coronavirus update as of April 3, 2020: around the world, there are now over a million cases of COVID-19, the viral infection caused by a new type of pathogen called SARS-CoV-2. In addition, we have seen over 52,000 deaths, with over 6,000 in the U.S. (alone) and growing rapidly. On the brighter side: well over 200,000 confirmed cases have fully recovered. But, ultimately, to win this “viral war” – we much focus on better nutritional strategies such as, consuming enough selenium. No doubt, many healthcare experts are working …read more [More]

By Dr. Mercola Warts are benign skin growths that occur when a virus infects the top layer of skin. Viruses triggering wart growth are from human papillomavirus (HPV). Although warts are contagious, most come in contact with HPV repeatedly but only some develop warts.1 The common wart appears as a small, grainy skin growth, usually on the fingers or hands.2 It may take as long as six months to develop a wart after you’ve been exposed to the virus. The common wart is usually harmless and eventually disappears without any treatment. It’s more likely the warts will disappear in children [More]

By Robert Kulacz, DDS (NaturalHealth365) Heart disease – including a heart attack – is the number one cause of death in the United States. Although there are many contributing factors to the development of cardiovascular disease – inflammation is the critical factor. Inflammation drives the progression of atherosclerotic plaque within the arteries and is the critical factor in plaque rupture that leads to clot formation and a heart attack. In addition, contrary to popular belief, the root cause of a heart attack is not just cholesterol. What really causes a heart attack? Everybody knows that high cholesterol can cause a [More]
From the emergence of a spiky growth at the back of some people’s skulls to the enigmatic finding that our elbows are getting narrower, our bones are changing in surprising ways It all started with a goat. The unfortunate animal was born in the Netherlands in the spring of 1939 – and his prospects did not look good. On the left side of his body, a bare patch of fur marked the spot where his front leg should have been. On the right, his front leg was so deformed, it was more of a stump with a hoof.

By Dr Wayne Most every pregnant mom experiences morning sickness and even afternoon sickness, night sickness or any time during the day. You see, nausea can be debilitating. And probably a billion pregnant moms are enduring nausea right now and are unfortunately mostly powerless to stop it or even prevent it, but it’s not because of the reason you think it is – it’s not because well, you’re pregnant, even though pregnancy would seem to be the most obvious reason. There is actually a bigger cause of nausea during pregnancy that is far less obvious, even though it is actually [More]
