Air pollution may be damaging every organ and virtually every cell in the human body, according to a comprehensive new global review. The research shows head-to-toe harm, from heart and lung disease to diabetes and dementia, and from liver problems and bladder cancer to brittle bones and damaged skin. Fertility, foetuses and children are also affected by toxic air, the review found. The systemic damage is the result of pollutants causing inflammation that then floods through the body and ultra-fine particles being carried around the body by the bloodstream. Air pollution is a “public health emergency”, according to the World

By AdminM Statins Work…for Less Than Half of Patients by Alliance for Natural Health Want to flip a coin on your health? Researchers assessing the effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs found that they didn’t work for 51% of the 165,000 patients studied (statins have to reduce LDL cholesterol levels by 40% after two years to be considered effective). We’ve reported previously about the many side effects and dangers of taking statins. We’ve also pointed out that conventional thinking supporting statins—lowering “bad” LDL cholesterol as a means of preventing cardiovascular disease—is outdated. With one in four Americans over the age …read

By Julie Fidler Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder that causes a person to briefly and repeatedly stop breathing in his or her sleep. You may not know this, but the issue may actually lead to numerous health ailments, with one recent study finding that obstructive sleep apnea appears to increase one’s odds of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Yikes. Sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open even as the body works to keep breathing. More than 18 million adults in the United States have OSA and either experience

By Dr. Veronique Desaulniers (NaturalHealth365) Did you know that oral contraceptives were classified as carcinogenic? I knew there were many side effects from the birth control pill, but when I discovered that they were classified as a “group 1 carcinogen”, I was shocked. According to the World Health Organization, oral contraceptives fall into the group one carcinogen category, which means a ‘known and probable’ cancer-causing agent to human beings. Examples of group one carcinogens are tobacco, asbestos, plutonium, diesel exhaust and “the pill.” Does that mean that everyone who is exposed to group 1 carcinogens develop cancer? Not necessarily, but

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Anticoagulants, also known as blood thinners, have been around for many decades. During that time, these medications have been used to prevent clotting in patients who are at risk of complications of heart disease. But, at what cost is an important question to ask. Blood thinners come in many types – intravenous drugs like heparin and medications taken by mouth like warfarin and Pradaxa. Since blood thinners are considered a ‘preventative’ medication, many doctors prescribe it believing the benefits outweigh the risks. However, a cardiologist from Duke University notes that blood thinners like warfarin

By Dr. Mercola Insulin is essential to staying alive; unfortunately, the vast majority of people have resistance to this essential hormone, speeding up the aging process and contributing to the development of degenerative diseases. Any meal high in grain and sugar carbs typically generates a rapid rise in blood glucose. To compensate, your pancreas secretes more insulin into your bloodstream to lower your blood sugar. Insulin, however, is also very efficient at lowering blood sugar by turning it into fat. The more you secrete, the more fat your body will accumulate. If …read more Source: mercola

It’s well-known that breastfed babies tend to be healthier than babies given a bottle filled with formula, especially in their first year of life, and the benefits are numerous. What’s more, the longer a baby is breastfed, the more far-reaching the health effects are throughout their lives. The developing field of stem cell biology is being used by scientists to differentiate the types of cells derived from breast milk. While there are innumerable studies on the advantages mothers offer their children when they choose to breastfeed, one discovery in the last decade concerns the millions of immune cells known as
