By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Herbal teas can be a rich source of beneficial compounds like polyphenols and flavonoids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Simply sipping a cup here and there, without leading an accompanying healthy lifestyle, may not make a major difference in your health, but among people in Greece, many of whom follow a healthy Mediterranean diet, herbal tea turned out to be quite protective against cancer. Three types of herbal tea stood out for their anti-cancer potential, but out of the varieties (chamomile, sage, and mountain teas), chamomile took center stage, outshining the other two

The mass die-off of honeybees appears to be getting worse, posing an acute danger to the food supply that depends on the little insects who do about $10 to $15 billion worth of work pollinating our crops. An annual survey of 5,000 beekeepers in the US reported a loss of 42% of their honeybee colonies, up considerably from the 35% loss reported during the same period in both 2014 and 2013. The survey, by The Bee Informed Partnership, has surveyed winter losses to colonies since 2006 but has only gathered information on summer and total losses since 2010. Commercial beekeepers

Researchers suggest children’s social skills are declining as they have less time for face-to-face interaction due to their increased use of digital media, according to a UCLA psychology study. Scientists found that sixth-graders who went five days without even glancing at a smartphone, television or other digital screen did substantially better at reading human emotions than sixth-graders from the same school who continued to spend hours each day looking at their electronic devices. …read more Read more here: Prevent Disease
By Sasha Brown While acid reflux (GERD) may seem like an adult health condition, many children suffer from it as well. They tend to get it far worse than adults, and smaller ones don’t recover from the medicine like adults do. Learning to recognize the condition is the first step in caring for your child’s acid reflux. Identify Acid Reflux Since your child won’t be much help (other than ‘it hurts’), it’s best to get an understanding of the symptoms and signs that come with acid reflux. In children, they typically experience stomach issues, vomiting, heartburn, breathing issues and weight

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) Washington, DC – WEBWIRE – Friday, May 01, 2015 – For the second day, Lyme patients and supporters from around the U.S. gathered in Arlington, VA, at the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) headquarters, to call attention to the epidemic of chronic Lyme disease and to ask the question: Why does IDSA continue to fight with and vilify patients instead of producing guidelines that would enable those who are chronically ill to receive medically necessary treatment. The most recent incident came from IDSA spokesman and Johns Hopkins physician Paul G. Auwaerter, MD, who says patients with

This policy will remove our right to choose freely what we put into our own bodies, a fundamental human right that is protected in all International Bills of Human Rights. Yet this is not being discussed in the mainstream Australian media even though the risks of vaccines and valid consent (2.1.3) are required from Australian consumers

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola In the 1970s, research was published showing that the sound your joints make when “cracked” is due to the popping of bubbles in the fluid between the joint.1 New research published in PLOS One suggests this long-held theory may be wrong. The researchers used MRI video, which you can see above, to determine why joints make a popping sound when they crack. Rather than being caused by bubbles popping, they believe the sound comes from a gas-filled cavity (i.e. bubble) forming.

Researchers from the University of Michigan surveyed almost 400 hospitals nationwide to determine what measures they had taken to prevent Clostridium difficile infections, which kill nearly 30,000 Americans a year and cause illness in hundreds of thousands more.

By Pulford Does your current drugs treatments for diabetes actually work to prevent heart attacks and death? Surely lowering blood sugar in diabetics is an effective strategy for reducing the risk of death and heart disease. It would seem obvious that if diabetes is a disease of high blood sugar, then reducing blood sugar would be beneficial. However elevated sugar is only a symptom, not the cause of the problem. The real problems are cellular inflammation and elevated insulin unchecked over decades from a highly refined carbohydrate diet, a sedentary lifestyle and environmental toxins. Most medications and insulin therapy are

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola If you drink alcoholic beverages on occasion, wine could arguably be described as one of the “healthier” options. Red wine, in particular, is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols, including resveratrol. Resveratrol’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties have been well-established by science, and its benefits are thought to extend to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, among others. Resveratrol is found in abundance in red wine, and it’s highly soluble in alcohol, which means your body may absorb more of it from red wine than from other sources.

By Rosalina Constipation is not something that many people like to talk about and most people tend to treat it as an annoyance rather than as a medical problem. However, people who get constipated chronically may have serious underlying conditions – and the constipation itself puts a person at greater risk for developing colon cancer. There are many over-the-counter treatments to help promote regularity. However, laxatives can only be used occasionally unless specifically prescribed by the doctor – overuse of them can result in the body getting dependent upon them to have any kind of bowel movement at all.

By Christina Sarich Natural Society reported on organic farmer Steve Marsh’s dilemma with GMO cross pollination of his organic farms a while back, but some shocking news has recently bubbled to the surface about Monsanto’s involvement. One of the secrets of monopolizing Monsanto is that it contributed big bucks to the defense of the Australian farmer whose GMO canola crop infected Steve Marsh’s organic fields. If you aren’t privy, a ruling by the Supreme Court of Western Australia had no sympathy for Steve Marsh’s plight, and sided in favor of Michael Baxter and Monsanto. “An organic farmer in Western Australia

By Meghan Telpner Most people don’t give the idea of blood circulation much thought. After all, the heart beats at least 60 times per minute in the average person to deliver blood to all parts of the body and make sure that all cells have received oxygen and nutrients. Since this is an automatic body function, it doesn’t even occur to people that there might be a problem. However, many diseases and conditions can cause poor circulation, or inadequate flow of blood throughout the body. And this, in turn, can lead to serious problems for the skin, kidneys, brain and

By Tate Handy Since it was first developed by microbiology and public health professor Dickson Despommier, vertical farming has been lauded as an environmentally-friendly, more efficient farming method than traditional outdoor farming. By using abandoned buildings, hydroponic techniques, and environmental monitoring products, farmers can grow crops in a controlled, urban environment, which provides several benefits to both farmers and consumers that they may not get from traditional outdoor farming. For example, indoor farming strictly regulates watering and lighting, meaning farmers end up using much less water and light than when growing crops outdoors. Any extra water is collected and recycled

She hopes to “delay or soften God’s judgment that is coming on America and our world” and urge the Holy Spirit to “compel the church to repent of sin and our nation to return to faith in the living God.” Read More Billy Graham’s daughter issues ‘Mayday’.
