By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The opioid epidemic has been making headlines in the U.S., but another public health crisis is also in the making, this time involving alcohol, according to a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry.1 In the time period spanning 2001-2002 to 2012-2013, 30 percent more Americans engaged in high-risk drinking. The study included data from nearly 80,000 Americans and found statistically significant increases in alcohol use across all sociodemographic groups. However, increases in alcohol use, high-risk drinking and alcohol use disorder (AUD) (or alcohol dependence) were greatest among women, older adults, racial/ethnic minorities and people

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) At no other time in history have so many vaccines been required within the United States vaccination schedule. According to statistics at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 10 million vaccines – many of which contain aluminum (a known neurotoxin) – are given to infants every year. But, there are many underreported statistics that are quite disturbing. For example, the National Vaccine Information Center reports that nearly $3.6 billion has been awarded to children and parents for vaccine injuries to date …read more Source: Natural Health 365
By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) A eucalyptus tree genetically engineered to withstand freezing temperatures may be poised for United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approval, opening the door to over a million acres of eucalyptus “plantations” throughout the southeastern United States. Although the GE tree is being billed by its developer, ArborGen, as a “green, sustainable” way to solve the world’s demands for paper and pulp, environmentalists warn that its commercialization will bring devastation to native forests and harm to local residents. Thankfully, the public is paying heed, protesting the creation of …read more Source: Natural Health 365
By Julie Fidler LED street lights are so hazardous to people’s health that the American Medical Association (AMA) has adopted an official policy about them. Adopted unanimously at the AMA’s annual meeting in Chicago on June 14, 2016, the policy comes in response to the growing number of LED street lights in the country. An association committee issued guidelines on how communities can choose LED streetlights “to minimize potential harmful human health and environmental effects.” Long-lasting LED lights are quickly replacing existing streetlights because they save municipalities money on energy and maintenance. But the AMA’s stance reflects the importance of

By samanthaolivier You’ve probably heard synthetic materials aren’t all that good for your health, but did you know that a simple plastic bottle can in fact be keeping the stork away from your doorstep? It’s true. A number of studies carried out over the past decade confirmed chemicals from plastic containers to have an adverse effect on both male and female fertility. Intrigued? You should be, especially if you’re trying to conceive: you may not be what you eat, but if you’re using plastic cutlery and containers on a regular basis, you may just be eating yourself out of a

Do you suffer from dry skin on your feet? Is it so bad that your heels have cracked and it’s gone from simply being a nuisance to a painful hindrance? These common heel fissures are a result of the combination of thickened skin and dry skin. Sometimes they cause discoloration and can become infected, if not properly treated. If the cracks or fissures are more than just on the surface, they could begin to bleed. So it’s very important that even before you begin to experience some or all of these painful symptoms, that you do what’s necessary to prevent

By Emma Riley When looking for essential oils, there are countless options available online and in the store, which can make it really difficult to decide which brand to choose, and if you’re just starting out, what type of oils to begin with. After all, there are nearly 100 different essential oils, and they each offer their own unique benefits. While we might like to have them all, for most of us that’s just not feasible. That’s where I was at when making the decisions as to which oils to start with and which company to buy them from. One

By Debbie Wolfe Removing dirt and oil from your skin is essential if you want your skin to look and feel its best. When we leave dirt and oil on our face it creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria that can cause breakouts and other skin conditions. Commercial products are available but are often full of chemicals that can dry out or irritate our skin. Not to mention the fact that they are usually quite pricey. You can save a few dollars by making your own non-toxic cleanser and makeup remover. The best part of making your own makeup

By Julie Fidler Women who have excessive cadmium in their bodies may be at increased risk for developing endometrial cancer, researchers from the University of Missouri reported in a recent study. Accounting for 92% of cancers of the uterus, endometrial cancer, or uterine cancer, is the most common type of reproductive cancer in women in the United States. The disease is caused by cells in the endometrium growing out of control. Cadmium is a “highly persistent” toxic metal which mimics estrogen in the body. According to lead author Jane McElroy, an associate professor in the University of Missouri Medical School’s

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Mercury is a pernicious poison that should never be placed in your mouth. Yet half of the dentists in the U.S. still use dental or “silver” amalgam, 50 percent of which is mercury, not silver. Mercury is the most volatile and toxic of the heavy metals, and the vapors released when chewing or brushing pose a clear and present danger to health — especially your brain and kidneys, as mercury is a neuro- and nephrotoxin. It’s also toxic to your reproductive system. As such, it’s really shocking that mercury …read more Source: mercola

By Julie Fidler Researchers are constantly studying and learning more about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but they have yet to be able to pinpoint specific causes. The origins of the disorder seem to be based in genetics and environmental factors. Now a study funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health and Sciences (NIEHS) seems to suggest that exposure to heavy metals could be one of the environmental triggers of autism. [1] The researchers behind the study found that the baby teeth of children with autism contain more lead and fewer vital nutrients, including manganese and zinc, compared to the

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Roundup has been a top-selling weed killer since its release in the 1970s. Numerous studies have connected its active ingredient, glyphosate, with a number of serious health problems – especially to the unborn child. More recently, it’s been found that one of the so-called “inert” ingredients in Roundup could be making the effects of glyphosate much worse. “Inert” ingredients refer to preservatives, surfactants, solvents and other substances that are added to herbicides and pesticides. About 4,000 different inert ingredients have been approved for addition to …read more Source: Natural Health 365
We like to think we are in charge of our own behaviour — that our thoughts are under our conscious control and that our actions are mostly reasonable. But our behaviour is also in the sway of an ancient system of mind control: hormones. These protein messengers are best known for their fundamental duty as regulators — think of insulin and blood sugar, for example — but they also bathe the brain in chemical information that tells us about the world around us and the people in it. …read more Source: Prevent Disease
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Beets, cactus fruit — aka prickly pear — and another cacti called red pitahaya, or dragon fruit, are foods that have attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to their high concentration of a powerful compound called betalain. The term betalain is derived from the Latin name for beet, Beta vulgaris, which is where it was first found. Both beets and dark red or purple cactus fruit contain high amounts of betalain, used for years as a natural, commercial food dye. In more recent studies, betalain has been recognized for its powerful

Even people who live in the city can reap the myriad of benefits just a small flock can bring, and it’s really no more time consuming to care for them than the effort it takes to take a dog for a walk. And, while many people who decide to keep chickens do it for the eggs, they quickly find out how useful they can be in many other ways. Arguably, the most compelling reason to

Quorn was originally developed by Imperial Chemical Industries, one of the largest chemical companies in the U.K. The fungus used to make quorn is Fusarium venenatum, which is Latin for “venomous.” Since its inception, a number of studies1 have raised concerns about Quorn’s safety, especially in people with food- and/or mold allergies.

By Alexandra Preston Coenzyme Q10 has long been known for its antiaging properties, especially in the cases of energy production and cardiovascular health. Now, it seems as though we have another use for this not-quite-a-vitamin – the prevention and mitigation of diabetes. One little-publicized cause of diabetes may be the use of statins, marketed as “prevention” for cardiovascular events. Some statins, such as rosuvastatin, are linked with a 27% higher risk of type II diabetes! Two meta-analyses also found an elevated risk of diabetes, one with a 9% higher risk, and the other showing a 12% higher risk. This disproportionately
