By Sandy J Duncan Okay, true confession, every now and then I don’t read the labels and I bring home a special “treat” from the grocery store. We eat very clean and I think it’s okay to relax a bit every now and then. I pulled out the Cappuccino Gelato (Hyvee Brand) from my freezer and thoroughly enjoyed a small bowl. It says right on the front of the carton that it is imported from Italy, so it’s exotic and going to be divine. I had no intention of reading the label and just wanted to indulge. However, my husband

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Iodine is essential to your health. Unfortunately, data collected by the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey has revealed a significant drop in median urine iodine values.1 The median iodine level measured in urine samples was 320 micrograms per liter (mcg/L) between 1971 and 1974. By 1988, it dropped to 145 mcg/L. Surveys taken in the years since show levels have stabilized, except in pregnant women whose median urine level dropped further to 125 mcg/L. Many people don’t know they need to consume a little iodine each day to maintain healthy levels of

By Dr. Mercola Achiote (Bixa orellana), or annatto, is a spice that is used by a large portion of the world’s population. It’s easy to decipher whether a dish contains achiote through the distinct red-orange color that it gives off. While the main use for achiote is for dyeing and coloring, it also adds a subtle flavor to any dish. In small amounts, achiote does not exude a very strong flavor, but if used copiously, people have noted that it has a subtle peppery taste with a nutty and sweet aroma.1 This spice is largely used in Latin American and

A petition before the U.S. Supreme Court carries big implications for the First Amendment. Thomas More Law Center is asking the court to prevent what it calls Maine’s persecution of a pro-life pastor who is also a pro-life activist. “Pastor Andrew March preaches peacefully on the public sidewalk outside the Planned Parenthood in Portland, Maine, which is a very unfriendly place for pro-lifers,” says TMLC attorney Kate Oliveri.

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) In any given year, about 25% of all U.S. adults have a mental illness and nearly 50% of U.S. adults will develop at least one mental illness during their lifetime. These statistics are staggering! Yet, when it comes to brain health and behavioral disorders, Western medicine is clearly missing the point – in terms of an effective solution. You see, conventionally-trained physicians – especially psychiatrists – are heavily indoctrinated with the notion that the only ‘reasonable’ treatments for psychiatric conditions are counseling and prescription …read more Source: Natural Health 365

But rather than a fruit for eating, the outer “zest” of the fruit, sans the white pulp, as well as the oil from the leaves and branches, are used as a medicinal. Bitter orange, which purportedly arrived in the Americas with the Spanish and Portuguese in the 1500s, has many other names, depending on the country talking about it.

If you think about it for a minute, though, you may realize that it’s been awhile since your windshield was covered with insects. This may initially seem like a good thing, but this occurrence, dubbed the “windshield phenomenon” by entomologists,1 is an ominous warning — a canary in the coalmine that the environment is in grave danger. “I’m a very data-driven person,”

Water fluoridation continues to occur in the majority of the U.S. even as research stacks up that fluoride is a neurotoxin that can harm brain function.
