The outbreak led to hospitalization and chronic nerve pain called post-herpetic neuralgia. “Merck knew or should have known that its product caused viral infection and was therefore not safe,” the suit said.

Aug 31 The culture of death in liberal-dominated California advanced further this week when the California Assembly approved a measure that would require all public college campuses to provide free abortions on demand. Senate Bill 320, if approved by the Senate and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown—both highly likely—it would require “each public university student health center shall offer abortion by medication techniques.” The measure also provides grants to cover the costs of equipment, training, “telehealth services”—the official term for webcam abortion appointments—and medical support.

The Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology study (PURE) has shown that eating just three to four portions of fruits and vegetables – per day – improves heart health and reduces the risk of early death. The researchers noted that although nutritional status and health outcomes have been investigated extensively in Europe, the USA, Japan, and China, little or no data has really been available …read more Source: Natural Health 365

Reasons for such poor results include studying dosage rather than omega-3 blood levels, and the fact that most fish

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola It’s now well-recognized that chronic infection is an underlying factor in many if not most chronic illnesses. Diseases such as Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, cardiomyopathy, gastritis and chronic fatigue are all turning out to be expressions of chronic infections, and Lyme disease appears to be a major, yet oftentimes hidden, player. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics released in 2013,1,2 an estimated 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. That’s about 10 times higher than the officially reported number of cases, and is indicative of
