By Admin – Orissa Shona Banda – Image from Facebook by Paul FassaHealth Impact News There have been several anecdotal reports of cannabis curing cancer. But less discussion has been publicized about cannabis curing Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel and gut diseases that are considered incurable by mainstream medicine. Perhaps the most dramatic story has a woman named Shona Banda at its center. Shona was severely stricken with Crohn’s. She was bedridden, and whatever she managed to eat didn’t provide nutrition because her gastrointestinal tract simply wouldn’t absorb nutrients.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola It’s happened before. You brought home too many fresh carrots, cucumbers and fancy mesclun lettuce, didn’t get to them as quickly as you thought you would and they spoiled. Rubbery carrots, slimy cucumbers and rusty lettuce can definitely make you lose your sense of humor. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) says Americans dispose of 19 percent of the vegetables and around 14 percent of the fruits they buy due to spoilage.1 What can you do to keep this from happening? There are a few tricks, some of them scientific. For instance, some

By Julie Fidler Many people remember their parents pulling their thumbs out of their mouths when they were children for fear they’d be made fun of, have a speech impediment, or wind up with buck teeth. There’s even stuff you can buy to put on kids’ fingers to make them taste bitter. Now, maybe your aversion to thumb-sucking and nail-biting stems from a fear of germs. I get it; I’m a germaphobe, too. Well, if your child is a thumb-sucker – or a nail-biter, for that matter – it might actually be a good thing…or at least not a terrible

Not only is it a horrible experience for pets and their owners alike, it can also be extremely costly to treat an animal with cancer, and there is no guarantee that treatments will work.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes eating primarily plant-based foods – fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression can be devastating to adolescents, who are already going through one of the most emotionally turbulent life stages. It’s understandable why well-meaning parents would turn to prescription medications in an attempt to give their child some relief, especially since such drugs are heavily promoted and often used as a first-line treatment by psychiatrists and other doctors.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Organic foods are the antithesis of genetically engineered (GE) foods and, as organic food popularity grows, they’re also one of the biotech industry’s greatest opponents. Organic foods are, by their very nature, free of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and this is one of the traits that makes them superior to their conventionally grown (and often GE) counterparts. Discrediting the organic industry would be one way for the biotech industry to cast their GE crops in a more favorable light, so when a report came out in 2014 bashing organics, industry funding was likely to
