By Mike Barrett Taking antibiotics for kidney stones is probably a bad idea. A review of almost 300,000 patient records from the United Kingdom (UK) revealed higher rates of kidney stones in people who took 5 categories of oral antibiotics, including broad-spectrum penicillins and fluoroquinolones, which include Cipro. [1] Broad-spectrum penicillins are antibiotics containing both penicillin and another active ingredient. The study doesn’t prove that antibiotics cause kidney stones, but that would be a logical assumption to make based on previously-published studies. The findings of the review were concerning enough that pediatric urologist Gregory E. Tasian said that he would [More]

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Vegetables certainly get a bad rap – at least around children.

By Julie Fidler In the past 3 years, Monsanto’s (now Bayer) genetically modified soybean seeds have dominated 60% to 70% of the market. The Xtend soybeans bring in about $1 billion a year for Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in June 2018. But sales of the seeds are being driven by fear, and that fear has birthed an anti-trust lawsuit against the agrochemical giant. Xtend soybeans have been genetically altered to withstand an herbicide called dicamba. The weed-killer has been around for decades, but it poses a problem for farmers because it typically kills non-gmo soybeans. Farmers who plant Xtend seeds, [More]
By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Reducing the risk of hip fractures is easier than you might think, according to a Framingham Osteoporosis Study. You can enhance bone health by taking a vitamin you should be taking anyway: vitamin C. This finding comes out of a 17 year follow-up of the Framingham Osteoporosis Study. And, the message is quite clear: those taking the highest amounts of vitamin C showed a hip fracture rate that was significantly lower than those taking the least of this powerful antioxidant. The threat of hip fractures get dramatically reduced with a simple change to lifestyle [More]
By Sharon Falsetto Today’s store-bought beauty products often contain a myriad of ingredients, many of which might be synthetic in nature. Although these types of products often have a need of preservatives, in addition to other ingredients, due to their anticipated store shelf life, it is just as easy (and more natural) to make your own beauty products with essential oils at home. The aromatherapy product recipes in this article don’t contain preservatives but they should last the recommended time if you use quality ingredients, practice good hygiene (in both making and using the products) and follow the guidelines of [More]

By Dr. Mercola While there are many environmental and human health hazards associated with modern food production, perhaps one of the most pressing concerns for any given individual is the ever-rising risk of food poisoning. According to preliminary data from the CDC, there were 25,606 foodborne infections, 5,893 hospitalizations and 120 deaths from food poisoning in 2018.1 In 2017, there were 24,484 infections, 5,677 hospitalization and 122 deaths.2 For further comparison, between the years of 2009 and 2015 — a span of six years — there were 5,760 reported foodborne outbreaks resulting in 100,939 illnesses, 5,699 hospitalizations and 145 deaths.3 [More]

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Sleep disorders are affecting millions of people and Western medicine wants us to believe that the ‘solution’ is the need for unwanted (toxic) medications? Well, any reasonable person can see that drugs are not the answer – as the CDC reports that about one third of all U.S. adults are not getting adequate sleep, each night. And, that’s probably an understatement! Anyway, with sleep disorders becoming a growing epidemic – throughout the world – there are several reasons why people would suffer with this serious health issue.

By Dr. Mercola If you have trouble sleeping, you’re not alone. According to SleepHealth.org, 70% of American adults say they get insufficient sleep at least one night per month, and 11% struggle to get sufficient sleep on a nightly basis.1 As noted by this organization: “Sleepiness affects vigilance, reaction times, learning abilities, alertness, mood, hand-eye coordination, and the accuracy of short-term memory. Sleepiness has been identified as the cause of a growing number of on-the-job accidents, automobile crashes and multi-model transportation tragedies.” However, reaching for a sleeping pill may be just as dangerous as …read more Source: mercola     
The “blue light” in LED lighting can damage the eye’s retina and disturb natural sleep rhythms, France’s government-run health watchdog said this week. New findings confirm earlier concerns that “exposure to an intense and powerful [LED] light is ‘photo-toxic’ and can lead to irreversible loss of retinal cells and diminished sharpness of vision,” the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) warned in a statement. The agency recommended in a 400-page report that the maximum limit for acute exposure be revised, even if such levels are rarely met in home or work environments. The report distinguished [More]

By Julie Fidler French fries aren’t very healthy, and that probably doesn’t come as much of a shock to you. But even more than unhealthy, eating the deep-fried taters at least twice a week was linked with an increased risk of early death. [1] Over an 8-year period, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition tracked the French fry consumption of 4,400 men and women, ages 45 to 79. At the end of the study, 236 of the participants had died. [2] After adjusting for several factors, eating potatoes – even gorging on them – was not [More]

By Lisa Egan Fermented foods like kimchi, kefir, and kombucha are widely available and wildly popular these days. There are good reasons for that – they provide some impressive health benefits.

Bread, beer, Indian chutneys, miso, sauerkraut, yogurt, cheese, sour cream, soy sauce, pickles, and even chocolate are some examples of fermented foods that people …read more Source: Ready Nutrition

By Dr. Mercola Obesity rates have tripled worldwide since 1975, and as of 2016, 39% of adults were overweight while 13% were obese.1 Associated health risks like heart disease and diabetes are well known, but many aren’t aware that your brain may also be affected by obesity. Rates of neurodegenerative disorders, including dementia, are also on the rise, with an estimated 115 million people expected to be living with dementia by 2050.2 It’s possible that rising rates of obesity may be one driving force behind this growing burden — and one that’s largely preventable at that.

Children are far more vulnerable to the damaging effects of electromagnetic fields than we are.
