By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) As we understand more and more about the importance of gut health, many people are making food choices to feed a healthy microbiome in the gut. If you’re working to keep your gut healthy, organic apples offer a far better choice than pesticide-treated, conventional apples. In fact, a new study supports the benefits of going organic, specifically when choosing your apples. Thankfully, a team of Austrian researchers took a closer look at both organic apples and pesticide-treated apples, publishing their findings in Frontiers in Microbiology. It’s just one of the latest studies comparing organic

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Has your doctor ever told you have hypertension or prescribed you a medication to lower blood pressure? If so, you’re probably well aware of the common side effects of antihypertensive medications including lightheadedness, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. But, did you know that an essential mineral can help you avoid the need for toxic drugs? To be clear, maintaining good blood pressure is essential, since it reduces your risk of heart attacks, stroke, and other life-threatening conditions. But while no one should stop or start any medication without consulting their physician, we do believe the

And it’s becoming increasingly resistant to disinfectants. A diarrhea-causing bacterium is evolving into a new species, one that thrives on your sugar-rich Western diet, according to a new study. The Clostridium difficile bacteria produce spores that spread through contact with feces, and so can commonly be found in bathrooms or on surfaces that people touch without properly washing their hands. What’s more, this bacterium is becoming increasingly resistant to disinfectants used in hospitals, said study lead author Nitin Kumar, a senior bioinformatician at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Patients taking antibiotics face the greatest risk of developing diarrhea from C.

Teenage girls are affected by social media use more than boys, with the harmful effects being driven by three factors, according to a new study. In girls, frequent use of social media harmed their health by leading to inadequate sleep, inadequate physical activity and exposing them to cyberbullying, according to the study published Tuesday in the journal Lancet. The same did not hold true for boys who frequently use social media. Researchers from University College London tracked the social media use of nearly 13,000 teens in the U.K. from when they were 13 to 16-years-old. They also evaluated the teens’

With her kidneys and liver failing and a 106-degree temperature that had smoldered for days, Helen Tschannen was being kept alive on a ventilator. Doctors were not certain what was happening, but the family knew this: Tschannen, 77, did not want to be kept alive by machines. After 21 days in an Illinois hospital, they gathered at her bedside and wrestled with whether they were doing the right thing. A nurse unhooked the equipment. Tschannen took one breath on her own and died. It was Oct. 19, 2004. …read more Source: Sott health news feed

Comment: We never imagined we’d see this in the WaPo… A study of young children in Canada suggests those whose mothers drank fluoridated tap water while pregnant had slightly lower IQ scores than children whose mothers lived in non-fluoridated cities. But don’t dash for the nearest bottled water yet. Health experts at the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Dental Association cautioned that public policy and drinking water consumption should not change on the basis of this study. “I still stand by the weight of the best available evidence, from 70 years of study, that community water fluoridation is

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Although the pharmaceutical industry publicly downplays the validity of natural remedies, honest (scientific) research continues to prove that the intake of certain foods offers significant health benefits. For example, the health benefits of lemon juice and garlic – confirmed by recent studies – can not be ignored. In fact, one study found that taking a simple combination of lemon juice and garlic can help to reduce cholesterol levels while improving blood pressure readings. The International Journal of Preventive Medicine published a study done by researchers at the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. These …read

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) If you’ve watched any television or Hulu recently, you’ve probably noticed telecom industry commercials touting the “next generation of mobile communication.” Next generation? Sure, but the future 5G network doesn’t come without a serious price to pay. No matter how much Telecom hypes up the latest iteration of wireless communication, word is spreading (fast) about harmful 5G effects and the powerful radiation associated with it. As we reported recently, 5G technology was already met with serious backlash in cities like Sacramento. Now, in a continued effort to educate our readers about the potential dangers

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) In an ideal world, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would always function in the best interests of the consumer. However, the sad truth is that the FDA often behaves as though it is in the back pocket of the big pharmaceutical companies and their financial interests. In fact, there’s no better example than the case of the over-the-counter pain reliever acetaminophen, a drug that causes an array of health issues and problems – yet is still on store shelves today. A dangerous drug connected with many liver-related health problems Acetaminophen causes

08/25/19 “It looks like the tensions between the US and Russia/China just keep going to higher levels. I monitor these tensions because many have seen in dreams and visions from God a Russian nuclear attack on the US followed by an invasion of Russian and Chinese troops. When this might occur, who knows, but things certainly seem headed in that direction.” Admin Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday revealed he had ordered the Kremlin “to prepare a reciprocal response” to the recent U.S. test of a land-based nuclear missile. Putin said the test is a testament to

“Lies!” “Nonsense!” What’s true? What’s not true? What’s fake news? What’s real? It’s not just politics. Politics is at least comprehensible. We may err, misunderstand and misjudge, but politics speaks our language and invites our participation. Not so medicine. Healthy, we want nothing to do with it. Ill, we turn to it with blind, ignorant, sometimes desperate faith. What else can we do? Our bodies are strangers to us — sometimes hostile strangers. We wouldn’t recognize our internal organs if we saw them. When a politician says, “Trust me,” we instinctively do the opposite. When a doctor says “Trust me,”

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Inflammation, the body’s response to injury and infection, is both normal and necessary for healing. But long-term, low-level chronic inflammation is another matter entirely – and it lies at the root of virtually all degenerative disease – including heart disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions and type 2 diabetes. But, we know – from published research – that a protein complex known as Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-kB) plays a major role in both inflammation and aging – and that suppressing it can slow the aging process, and the degenerative diseases that occur with it. Currently,

With pharmaceutical and even robotic “cures” in the works for loneliness – a condition once considered part of the normal human emotional range but now framed as a health risk – we risk losing the ability to be alone at all. The pathologization of emotion has been on the march for decades, especially in the US, where fully one sixth of the adult population takes an antidepressant or other psychiatric drug. Now the mental-health industry has a new target – loneliness. Nearly half of Americans polled last year by health insurer Cigna said they lacked meaningful relationships or companionship. A
