By Sara Tipton As we start gearing up for the first day of school, it’s important to plan for emergencies that may occur when our children are away from home and not in our care. We moms can’t always be around to help when our kids need it. Having some handy items stashed away in a backpack for the kids to use can also teach them the importance of preparedness and the beginning steps of self-reliance. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) suggests each child do these 4 things to be prepared for emergencies: Have a plan on

By Sara Tipton Man (or woman’s) best friend has long been considered the dog. Dogs add so much joy to our lives that it is difficult to not think of them as members of our family. Because of that, we’ve decided to put together a list of four things that threaten our dogs in the summertime and what can be done to keep our best friend safe. Even if this list serves as nothing more than a reminder, make sure you’re just as prepared for the dog as you care for yourself. Regardless of how safe we are though, things

By Dr. Mercola Vitiligo is a skin condition that has been around for centuries and has been documented in various historical accounts. The clear cause for vitiligo has not yet been pinpointed because of varying external factors connected to its development. However, it is now being listed as an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks and kills off the cells that are responsible for the production of melanin.1 Some of the earliest documents describing this condition go as far back as 3,000 years ago, some of which are found in Egyptian and Vedic texts. The only problem is that

By Thomasina Copenhaver Are the toxins in our diet slowly poisoning us? Is our food healthier today than it was for our grandparents? Will we out live our children? (Resource below) Have you ever heard of Pottinger’s Cats? Dr. Francis Pottinger wanted to know what happens in the body when cooked or processed foods are eaten continuously—foods devoid of live enzymes and considered “denatured”; as opposed to fresh uncooked plant (and animal) sourced food. The cat study lasted for ten years, studying three generations of cats—a total of 900 cats in all. Dr. Pottinger took two sets of cats and

Restaurants are lining up to put meat substitutes from Beyond Meat Inc. and Impossible Foods Inc. on their menus — but don’t expect Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. to join them. Chief Executive Officer Brian Niccol said the companies’ products are too processed for the burrito chain, which touts its simple food and a menu that uses only 51 ingredients. “We have spoken to those folks and unfortunately it wouldn’t fit in our ‘food with integrity’ principles because of the processing, as I understand it, that it takes to make a plant taste like a burger,” Niccol said in an interview.

By Dr. Mercola While you might have thought a tick is an insect, it really belongs to the arachnid family, along with spiders, scorpions and mites.1 A tick survives by feeding on the blood of a host, growing from the size of an apple seed before food and swelling to more than double their size after feeding.2 Ticks are more active during the summer months, between March and November in the northern hemisphere. Most enjoy living in warm moist places, such as bushes, tall grasses and shrubs. Animals and humans get ticks while walking through these areas.3 Of the 899

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The next time you go to the store, compare the price tag on a piece of organic food compared to its non-organic option. You probably won’t be surprised to see that the organic food costs more. But, for many health-conscious consumers, the price is worth it to avoid GMO foods. As you probably already know, if a food item is labeled “organic,” it’s illegal for it to contain any gene-edited (manipulated) ingredients – right? (Well, that might change faster than you think!) Just last month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) began proceedings that

By Dr. Mercola Cilantro and coriander seed are names identifying the two stages of development of the plant genus Coriandum sativum. Cilantro refers to the initial leafy stage of the life cycle. Once the plant goes through its flowering stage and seeds begin to develop, it becomes known as coriander seed.1 So, coriander is unique in that it’s both an herb (the leaves) and a spice (the seeds). In this article, the term Coriandum sativum refers to both parts of the plant equally. When a specific part of the plant is discussed, the terms cilantro …read more Source: mercola
By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Migraine headaches are a fairly common and debilitating type of headache that costs the U.S. healthcare system an enormous amount of money, every year. But, the greater tragedy is how the public has been kept in the dark about the effectiveness of a simple remedy, vitamin B2. This is a serious health problem: approximately 10% of the world’s population are affected by migraines, although closer to 12% of people in the United States deal with these severe headaches. Migraines are characterized by severe head pain, usually on one side of the head, and …read

Inflammation plays a critical role in determining how we digest food, and it’s only now starting to reveal itself. It’s simple: Eat less. Sometimes combined with the directive move more, this mantra has a clear point. If you can’t lose weight, you are either stupid or lazy — or, probably, both. See also: Calories in, calories out. But if things were that simple, diets would work. Middle-aged people would not suddenly start gaining weight despite eating and moving similarly year after year. No one would have to endure the presence of that one friend with the “fast metabolism” who can

08/16/19 The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has continued its clampdown on religious activities in the country, banning a number of Christian summer camps organized for children. In the past several years, the communist government under party leader Xi Jinping has taken steps to prevent children from receiving religious instruction, forbidding children from entering Christian churches or joining Christian groups, barring access to universities for churchgoing youth, and even forcing kindergarten pupils to sign an atheist manifesto, abjuring religious activities of any sort.
