By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Modern agricultural practices have led to ever-increasing amounts of chemicals being used on our food, and whether we’re talking about pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, most have deleterious effects on health. According to the latest report on pesticide residues in food by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a mere 15 percent of all the food samples tested in 2015 were free from pesticide residues. In 2014, over 41 percent of samples had no detectable pesticide residues on them.1 That just goes to show how quickly our food is being poisoned. …read more Read more

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Improving bone health and avoiding osteoporosis may be easier than we once thought. In fact, better bone density could be as simple as eating more dried plums.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Staying awake during surgery is the norm for certain procedures, like some cesarean sections and brain surgeries. However, most people expect that they’ll be under general anesthesia should they require surgery. This may soon change, as increasing numbers of patients are opting to take control of their surgical experience and stay awake during the procedure. It’s a decision that comes with both benefits and risks — to the patient and the surgeon. Not every surgery is appropriate for staying awake, but if you’re given the option, here’s what you should consider. During Which Types

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola It’s estimated that nearly 57,000 new cases of thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2017, a far lower number than many other adult cancers, like colorectal, lung, breast and prostate.1 However, the number is noteworthy because it has risen significantly in recent years. Rates of thyroid cancer have tripled in the last decade, making it — papillary thyroid cancer in particular — the most rapidly increasing cancer in the U.S.2 While part of this rise is blamed on the increased use of thyroid ultrasound detecting small thyroid nodules that may otherwise

By Thomasina Copenhaver Sometime about a hundred years ago, the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations decided to “reform” medical education in America by engineering medical school curriculum through their grants and donations. When money comes from a donor—the curriculum and the outcome is logically going to be what the donor wants it to be. Carnegie and Rockefeller bestowed literally hundreds of millions of dollars on these schools to “standardize” care to patented, petrochemical drug intensive treatment to the exclusion of all others. Natural healing, that had brought humanity to this point since the beginning of time, was summarily bastardized, the wisdom

By Martin Hajek Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), is unfortunately usually known for being a pesky weed, which people commonly remove from their backyards (and often spray with herbicides). However, humans have been using dandelion in food and teas for its medicinal properties for most of the recorded history. Many people still underestimate the benefits of this plant. When we talk about the dandelion tea, we are talking about two different teas: an infusion made from the leaves and the other made from the roots. The best way to get all of the benefits is to put the dried root and leaves

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) A recent action by the head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ensures that residue from a toxic pesticide can remain on food. Just under the deadline mandated by a federal appeals court, the new EPA administrator Scott Pruitt reversed a tentative 2015 decision to revoke food tolerances of chlorpyrifos – an insecticide linked with cancer and neurological problems. With this action, Pruitt totally ignored the conclusions of the federal agency’s own scientists, as well as independent scientific studies and literature. But, wait, this story is worse than you …read more Read more here:
