By Dr. Mercola Cerumen, also known as earwax, is necessary for the health of your ear. In fact, it’s not really wax at all, but made partially of dead skin cells from the ear canal.1 The area inside the auditory canal consistently revitalizes itself, and as the dead cells are removed, they’re pulled into a process producing earwax. The ear canal is also lined with hairs,2 which help move the earwax along the canal and out of your body. Earwax is created by secretions from the ceruminous and sebaceous glands, located in the outer ear canal.3 The ceruminous is a

By Dr. Mercola Sepsis is a medical emergency that may become fatal or leave an individual with a significant disability. Data from the CDC1 show that every year at least 1.7 million adults in the U.S. develop sepsis and 1 of every 3 who die in the hospital has sepsis. While these numbers are shocking, a review of the literature2 shows the incidence of sepsis has grown over the last three decades at a rate faster than population growth. The percentage of severe sepsis cases has also increased from 25% in 1993 to 44% in 2003, indicating that not only

By Dr. Mercola When you’re infected with a virus that causes an illness, that virus is shed in your saliva and other bodily fluids, and sometimes also via skin lesions. This means that a person who comes into direct contact with the shed virus may also become infected. The same holds true for live attenuated viral vaccines. While inactivated vaccines use a killed version of the pathogen, live viral vaccines use a weakened (or attenuated) version of the virus. Typically, the live virus used in vaccine production is passed through a living cell culture or other host, such as chicken

Nothing incites anger and fear in us quite like the thought that we are being slowly poisoned by toxins in our food and water. From endocrine disrupting chemicals in everyday household products to lead in drinking water, it seems that we are increasingly at risk of developing diseases by things that we often have no control over. And glyphosate is no exception. The reports of harmful effects of glyphosate are exploding — within the medical and scientific community as well as the general public. At a time when bee populations are already declining, a recent study reported that glyphosate perturbs

Sunglasses trick the brain into thinking it’s dark and prevent it from producing a hormone that protects against sunburn, according to new research. Emerging research is illuminating the dark side of wearing sunshades. Sunglasses block UV light from entering the pineal gland through the optic nerves in the eyes. This prevents the brain from sending the signal to the pituitary gland to produce melanin, the pigment that tans the skin and protects it from burning. …read more Source: Sott health news feed

After considerable badgering, she finally stated, “We have not studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated [children].” That was perjury. Boyle knew that CDC had

By Dr. Mercola Stress is a response in the body that enables us to run, take down prey or run from predators, also known as the flight-or-fight response. Unfortunately, many of the same life-saving reactions your body uses to protect you from danger may also be triggered as a response to cope with the rising prices of gasoline, a fear of public speaking or dealing with difficult bosses. In other words, the body sometimes has a difficult time turning stress off. The good news is there are several strategies you might consider to relieve the response and reduce the negative

By Dr. Mercola Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, also called a malignant growth or tumor. In 1971,1 President Richard Nixon declared war on cancer, signing the National Cancer Act. His goal was to make a national commitment to find a cure, after which Fort Detrick was converted to a cancer research center and renamed the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center. Since then a number of chemotherapeutic and surgical treatments have been developed in an effort to treat cancer.2 In 1991, mortality rates from cancer began to decline, falling 0.5% per year from 1990 to

Syphilis stopped being “a disease of the past” after its worrying resurgence in Europe, health experts told RT. Less fear of contracting HIV and the rise of dating apps are among the factors behind the problem. The spread of syphilis in Europe is intensifying due to worrying trends in human behavior, the head of the HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections and viral hepatitis program at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Andrew Amato-Gauci, told RT.

There’s the keto diet, which focuses on burning fat for fuel, the paleo diet, aimed at consuming what our hunter-gatherer ancestors may have eaten, gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan modes of eating, just to name a few. Now there’s the OMAD diet, the acronym for “one meal a day.” It’s been called an extreme form of intermittent fasting (or 16/8), and involves eating all your nutrients in a one-hour time slot

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) For some, the flu causes more than the classic symptoms of sneezing, coughing, fever and aching joints – on occasion, it can turn deadly. For example, during the H1N1 pandemic of 2009-2010, the CDC reported that the virus hospitalized over a quarter of a million people and claimed over 12,000 lives in the United States alone. Sadly, most conventionally-trained physicians know little about how good nutrition – like the power of quercetin – can help protect us from harm. First, as a little background: Western medicine already acknowledges that genetic variations of the influenza

07/29/19 Members of the Crown Prosecution Service in the United Kingdom – the equivalent of the U.S. Justice Department – must follow a new “thought crime” standard based on the alleged victim’s personal “perception.” In other words, prosecutors must regard a crime as being motivated by hate if the person “perceives” himself to be of a protected class and “perceives” that the accused was motivated by hate. The concept was featured by George Orwell in his book “1984,” which described a thought crime as a politically unorthodox belief, such as “doubts that contradict” the government’s prescribed belief system.
