An estimated 3 million soldiers fought in the US Civil War. This was before the age of robust military logistics and both sides struggled to feed their armies adequately. Generally, soldiers were provided hard and soft bread, salted or fresh meat, beans, peas, rice, cornmeal, vinegar, and molasses when available. Often, this was enough to fill their stomachs but not enough to provide proper nutrition or energy for combat. To supplement their diets, soldiers foraged in the surrounding landscape. Beyond the need for sustenance, soldiers also foraged for medicinal plants to heal wounds or fight infections.

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE While most health practitioners rely on reference ranges provided by the laboratory, there’s an evidence-based set of optimal reference ranges, which can more readily predict underlying pathology Low bilirubin is clearly associated with an increase in all-cause mortality, as it is a lipophilic antioxidant and a marker of lipid peroxidation. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), another powerful predictor of mortality, should not be above 20 U/L Men and women have different reference ranges for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratios (liver enzymes that assess liver function), and the ideal range for optimal health is

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Japanese researchers warn of the risks of using blood from mRNA COVID vaccine recipients, highlighting potential deadly effects and the need for urgent action to secure the global blood supply Blood contaminated with prion-like structures from the spike protein raises the risk of inducing fatal neurodegenerative diseases in recipients. The potential transmission of harmful proteins through exosomes (“shedding”) and the risk of autoimmune diseases due to the vaccines’ mechanism and components like lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are other major concerns Proposals for managing blood collection include rigorous donor interviews, deferral periods, and a suite of

? Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE The documentary film “We’re All Plastic People Now” delves into how we have become the embodiment of the trash we created. Director Rory Fielding had four generations of his family’s blood tested for plastic-derived chemicals and found alarming results Many of the chemicals used to make plastic are endocrine disruptors, which mimic, block or interfere with your natural hormones, causing problems in various physiological functions, such as growth, metabolism and reproduction Some endocrine-disrupting chemicals are also considered estrogenic carcinogens, which mimic the effects of estrogen in the body, thus increasing your risk of

Every time you peel a banana and dispose of the skin, you’re throwing away a tasty, nutritious snack. A recent study has shown if banana peels are blanched, dried, and ground into a flour, they can be turned into baked goods that taste just as nice, if not better than wheat-based products. Unless you’re a devoted reader of vegan cooking blogs or a Nigella Lawson fan, you’ve probably never considered cooking with a banana peel. But not only is it perfectly safe, scientists also demonstrated it really is good for you. Read More: Something Really Awesome Happens When

Understanding the biological processes of getting older could help us lead longer lives, and stay healthier later in life – and a new study links the speed at which our brain ages with the nutrients in our diets. Researchers from the University of Illinois and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln mapped brain scans against nutritional intake for 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging. They identified two distinct types of brain aging – and the slower paced aging was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the

A study has found that the mRNA Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) injections from Pfizer contain DNA contamination more than 500 times the allowable levels. The paper published May 8 in Methods and Protocols pointed out this danger, noting that “the available information and data indicate that the ready-to-use mRNA vaccine [from Pfizer] contains DNA impurities that exceed the permitted limit value by several hundred times and, in some cases, even more than 500 times.” Its findings raise fears that the foreign DNA may integrate into that of the vaccinated person’s, causing mutations that can lead to diseases such as cancer.
