Diet dogma. Everyone wants to avoid it and generally we all think that we are. But it seems no dietary regimen comes without adherents that get a little too fundamentalist and authoritarian. While it’s so common as to become a trope within the vegan community, Keto, Paleo and Carnivore diet communities seem to have their fair share of fundies, too. Apparently no one is entirely free of this tendency of the human condition toward tribalism and in-group bias. It’s an uglier side of human psychology, but it seems that even something as innocuous as what we choose to eat can

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) According to the American Diabetes Association, more than 30 million Americans had some type of diabetes in 2015. Unfortunately, more than 7 million individuals with diabetes had not yet been diagnosed. In addition, every year, around 1.5 million people in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes, and the disease continues to be the 7th leading cause of death within this country. Today, we’ll focus on a big reason why type 2 diabetes is on the rise. Researchers are consistently studying the condition to determine the actual causes of the disease that costs billions

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) As you probably know, exposure to heavy metals like mercury and lead can trigger IQ loss in children (and adults)! And, even though these heavy metals seem to be everywhere such as, mercury-based “silver” fillings and our food supply, it’s not the greatest threat to human intelligence. In fact, you may be quite surprised to discover what researchers have just found! For example, a new study reveals that flame retardants and pesticides are actually the biggest contributors to IQ loss in children due to fewer protective restrictions in place today. Disturbing trend in IQ

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Head to the seafood counter at your local grocery store and you’re faced with a big choice: farm raised fish or wild caught fish. You already know that certain types of fish, such as salmon, offer many health benefits. But, there are also the stories of health risks and contaminants that surround certain types of fish. And, while eating fish is often considered a healthy option, that’s not always true – especially if you don’t pay attention to the type of fish you take home from the store. While shopper demand for tasty fish

It started with a light cough. He burped constantly, and complained of shortness of breath. Family members thought it was no big deal. The doctor said he seemed to have heart problems and suggested him to stay in the hospital. He appeared healthy except for a minor infection in one lung area. Two weeks later, he was dead, with both lungs infected and organ failure. His doctors at the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital determined the cause of death as “unknown pneumonia.” It was days before Chinese health authorities identified the cause of the new viral pneumonia as 2019-nCoV, a coronavirus that

Making sure you are not deficient in the minerals and trace elements our body needs to function optimally is an important consideration if you are trying for a baby. Even with a healthy diet, the foods we eat are largely deficient in the minerals and trace elements that our cells need to function properly. Government figures have indicated that trace elements can be as little as one third of the levels they were just 40 years ago – yet our bodies need them for optimal function. Although these minerals and trace elements are virtually impossible to source through land-raised food,

By Dr. Mercola Sleeping well is an essential strategy to optimize your health, and at the heart of it is your circadian rhythm. This is also known as your body clock. It’s a natural, biological timer present in every one of your cells that helps your body recognize sleepiness and wakefulness over a period of 24 hours. Your circadian rhythm is largely dictated by your pineal gland, located near the center of your brain, which produces melatonin, a hormone that is crucial for the regulation of your sleep cycle. If you have had enough exposure to …read more Source: mercola

By Karen Berrios Can you believe we are in our last week of January 2020? No joke when they say time flies! I know many of us have started the year with new diet goals or exercise regimens to keep us healthy. While this is wonderful, unfortunately, it is not long-lasting for most. Why is that? I truly think it is not about a short term program but instead, a long term commitment to implement a sustainable and healthy lifestyle that makes sense to your individual needs. Cancer as many of you already know is a fast-paced growing disease worldwide.

By Dr. Mercola Would you want your medical records, including your vaccination records, permanently embedded into your skin, so anyone with a smartphone device could read them? The privacy implications are immense, as are the ethical considerations of what could, perhaps, become mandated along with vaccinations. The question, unfortunately, isn’t just theoretical, as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have already created technology capable of storing medical information below your skin’s surface.1 “[L]ack of standardized immunization recordkeeping makes it challenging to track vaccine coverage across the world,” the researchers wrote in the journal Science Translational Medicine,2 That lack, or deficiency

The ability of properly-dosed vitamin C before and after a vaccination to block any potential short- and long-term toxic side effects while enhancing the antibody-forming aim of the injection was covered in an earlier OMNS article. [1] The points made in that article, along with their validation in the scientific literature, remain pertinent 8 years later. As emphasized in that article, the purpose of this article is not to praise or condemn the administration of vaccinations. Most who know me know my stance on this issue, coming from what I consider to be a purely scientific perspective. But that is

By Dr. Mercola Far worse than the biologic damage caused by refined sugar is the molecular havoc caused by processed vegetable oils. Soybean oil in particular has a questionable safety profile for several reasons, and processed foods are positively loaded with it. Whether partially hydrogenated, organic or genetically modified to be low in linoleic acid, soybean oil can cause dysfunction at a cellular level. Unfortunately, many health authorities have insisted omega-6-rich vegetable oils like soybean oil are healthier than saturated animal fats such as butter and lard, and this myth has been a tough one …read more Source: mercola

By Dr. Mercola Animal waste and fertilizer runoff are two large contributors to water pollution, yet Big Ag has consistently turned a blind eye to the resulting devastating climate effects on their own industry. As this short video demonstrates, rising concentrations of nitrogen in the water feeds algae and chokes the oxygen supply to wildlife, creating expansive dead zones. In addition to an impact on fish and wildlife, climate change is being blamed for record-setting rain in the Midwest in 2019. Croplands were so ravaged by water that farmers were forced to delay planting corn. Typically, 96% of croplands would

By Dr. Mercola Conventional guidance to avoid unprotected sun exposure at all costs has likely done public health a great disservice.

By Dr. Mercola Many of the decisions you make each day have a compound effect on your overall health. Making small changes in what you eat and drink, how much you exercise and the quality of your sleep can pay big dividends. The same is true of some of the small unhealthy decisions you make. For example, lifestyle choices affect your risk for high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and even heartburn. If you take medications to control these conditions, you need to know that some of them have been recalled due to contamination issues. In July 2018 the FDA1

It certainly could, and this is enough to highlight the importance of effective high blood pressure treatment and prevention – as soon as possible!
