By Mike Barrett The Canadian federal government has launched a new risk assessment for AquaBounty’s new genetically modified (GM) salmon, following the company’s July 2018 announcement that it planned to build a new egg production and grow-out facility in Rollo Bay West, Prince Edward Island (PEI), according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The company has been producing a limited number of eggs at its Bay Fortune, PEI, facility. But now AquaBounty Technologies now plans to produce 250 metric tons of its AquAdvantage salmon for commercial sale both in Canada and abroad. In May 2017, ECCC said that the [More]

By AdminM by Brian ShilhavyEditor, Health Impact News The Ontario Nurses’ Association has won a major victory over St. Michael’s Hospital and eight other Toronto-area hospitals, as labour arbitrator William Kaplan wrote in a 53-page decision that forcing unvaccinated nurses to wear surgical masks during the flu season is a policy that is “insufficient, inadequate, and completely unpersuasive.” Reporter Fred Lum of The Globe and Mail writes: The hospital failed to prove that nurses who didn’t have flu symptoms were a significant source of infection and therefore would be required to wear masks if they weren’t inoculated, …read more Source: [More]

By Dr. Mercola A society that builds its foundations on annual agriculture cannot survive, according to Mark Shepard, CEO of Forest Agriculture Enterprises and founder of New Forest Farm, a 106-acre perennial “agricultural savanna.” In the video above, Shepard speaks to organic farmers not only about his farm but also why annual agriculture is doomed from the start. In short, annuals — which include the grain crops and soy that make up most U.S. farmland — are chemical intensive and enemies of diversity. Eventually, Shepard says, the destruction caused by this type of shortsighted farming, i.e., annual monocropping, will cause [More]
By Dr. Mercola Every year, anywhere from 5 million to 12 million tons of plastic debris enter waterways worldwide, which equates to an estimated 5 trillion pieces of plastic.1 While some of this plastic is in the form of large debris like plastic bottles, six-pack rings and bags, much of it is in the form of tiny particles known as microplastics, which are less than 5 millimeters (mm) in size. Microplastics can come from direct or “primary” sources, such as microbeads used in cosmetics or fibers used in clothing. They can also be secondary microplastics, meaning …read more Source: mercola [More]
By Debbie Wolfe I love the look and smell of real beeswax candles. As a candle lover, I am drawn to the soft, filtering light they emit and, the fragrance. However, as studies show, artificial fragrances can have a negative impact on our health. Commercial candles are full of artificial fragrances. A 2001 EPA study shows that candles with more fragrance in them produce more soot, which can lead to indoor air pollution. One way to steer clear of candles made with artificial fragrances is to burn beeswax candles. Yes, they are quite pricey compared to cheap paraffin …read more [More]

By Mike Barrett One of the top causes of antibiotic resistance is the use of the medicines in livestock. Many factory farms feed animals antibiotics to prevent disease and promote growth. Yet, despite countless warnings that the practice fuels drug-resistant superbugs, it continues to be a serious problem. Thankfully, establishments such as McDonald’s claims to finally be taking more action against widespread antibiotic use. In recent years, the poultry industry has made some progress in reducing unnecessary antibiotic use. In 2015, McDonald’s announced a plan to prohibit its chicken farmers from using antibiotics considered important to human health, and many [More]

By AdminM Why Your Doctor is Wrong About Cholesterol Written by Dr. Joseph Mercola Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in nearly every cell of your body and is essential to good health. It plays a role in hormone production, digestion and the manufacture of vitamin D following sun exposure, and helps protect your cell membranes. As noted by Zoe Harcombe, Ph.D.,1 “It is virtually impossible to explain how vital cholesterol is to the human body. If you had no cholesterol in your body you would be dead.” Your liver manufactures most, about 80 percent, of the cholesterol your body [More]
By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) The HPV vaccine – made by Merck (Gardasil) and GlaxoSmithKline (Cervarix) – has been linked to many troubling vaccine side effects, including paralysis. Yet, despite this, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved expansion of its reach to even more recipients. The HPV vaccine was originally developed for adolescents to supposedly help protect them from the HPV virus. Conventionally speaking, this virus can lead to cervical cancer in girls and other cancers of the reproductive system in both boys and girls. (But, there’s more …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By everybodysfit The technical term for sneezing is “sternutation”. This involuntary action occurs when the mucus membranes (lining) becomes irritated in the nose and throat. There are a number of triggers that can cause a sneeze. The most common culprits are symptoms arising from a cold, flu, or allergies. Environmental triggers include pollen, dust, strong odors, pepper, powders, change in temperature, pet dander, mold, looking into bright lights, and dry air. The act of sneezing clears the nose of bacteria and viruses. When something foreign enters the nose, the brain signals the throat to close quickly as well as the [More]

In December, yet another study showed that people who eat a Mediterranean-style diet have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease – possibly even as low as those taking statin drugs. Let’s see why this diet can be so good for the heart. Lead study author Shafqut Ahmad, Ph.D., a research fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said of the findings: “We didn’t know [More]

By Dr. Mercola According to research, extracts from okra could help offset damage done by oxidative stress and insulin resistance, and simultaneously improve your blood glucose levels. Those results were attained when scientists tested okra extracts on pregnant rats with induced gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). During the featured study on rats from 2015,1 scientists found okra extract exerted potential antihyperglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. The okra was also associated with reduced damage to pancreatic tissues. In a recent study,2 researchers concluded that okra may improve glucose homeostasis and ?-cell (beta cells that produce, store and release insulin3) impairment in diabetes. Okra, [More]
By Sharon Thomas, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Why should pregnant women care about their vitamin D level? Because vitamin D is a critical for everything from bone and teeth development to brain health. Unfortunately, a deficiency in this vitamin is quite common, especially among people living in colder northern climates where sun exposure – the main (natural) way our bodies produce vitamin D – is severely limited. In fact, according to scientific research, a vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women actually increases the risk of having children with neurodevelopmental disorders like schizophrenia …read more Source: Natural Health 365

Yet, even if your doctor isn’t telling you, we know that a special pigment in berries can help us to avoid becoming a heart disease death statistic. For example, an extensive scientific review demonstrates that anthocyanin – a natural plant pigment found in berries – does provide antioxidant effects and significant protection from chronic diseases. In fact, researchers say that anthocyanin could help lower the risk …read more Source: Natural Health 365
