By Julie Fidler Obesity has become such a widespread issue in the United States that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended in a recent report that people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher should be prescribed intensive behavioral interventions. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 35% of men and 40% of women in the United States are defined as obese. While an overweight population is quick to undergo weight loss surgery and shell out money on unproven weight loss products, deeper issues are often ignored

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future from the vault, physicist Rob Sheldon discusses the BICEP2 Consortium’s apparent discovery of evidence for the inflationary model of the Big Bang, and the annoucement’s impact on questions of cosmic fine-tuning. The consortium later withdrew their claim to have found the first evidence for the primordial “B-mode” polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In part 2 here, Dr. Sheldon explains his questioning of whether the signal detected by BICEP2 was real. Please consider donating to support the IDTF Podcast.

By Susan Patterson Valerian root is native to Europe, although today it can be found growing wild in grasslands of parts of Asia and in North America. It’s also used as an attractive garden plant. It contains volatile oils, including valerenic acids, less volatile sesquiterpenes and valepotriates (esters of short-chain fatty acids), which are active compounds believed to be responsible for valerian’s ability to provide a calming, restorative effect on the central nervous system. It has a long history of use, dating all the way back to the 2nd century, for treating insomnia and nerve disorders like anxiety. The name

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Today, many are so used to the idea an antibiotic can cure almost any infection, few consider the possibility this remedy may soon no longer be an option. Antibiotics have increased human life span by nearly a decade and certain conditions could simply not be treated without them.1 In many ways, modern medicine is built on a foundation of antibiotics. It is now severely threatened, however, by the emergence and phenomenal growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Prior to the development of antibiotics, half of the world’s population died from infections. The reality is antibiotic-resistant microbes

By Stephanie Vick, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) An estimated one in 10 women has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that can make it very difficult for them to have children. PCOS causes irregular menstrual cycles and commonly strikes women in their 20s or 30s – lasting beyond menopause. With PCOS, hormones become imbalanced creating a risk of infertility and chronic illnesses. Treatments vary, but one study shows a combination of herbal medicine and lifestyle changes can help. The key here is to find a healthcare provider that appreciates this kind of …read more Source: Natural Health 365

Yes, chlorine – the same chemical in bleach used to clean bathrooms and kill bacteria. Chlorine-washed chickens had been set to go on sale in the UK in a post-Brexit trade deal.

It’s a common desire to leave the rat race behind and cultivate a closer connection with the land, but for most of us, the idea never gets off the ground. But here’s the reality; the barriers to entry towards starting your own small farm business aren’t as extreme as you might think.

Since then, ‘safer’ BPA alternatives have been used in products, but a new study adds onto growing evidence showing that BPA-free alternatives may not be as safe as consumers think. In the study, BPA alternatives not only decreased sperm counts in mice, but the decrease led to less-viable eggs. While more research is needed to determine if

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Blueberries have been on the “superfoods” list for some time. However, recent research out of the Université Laval of Canada has found that blueberries – the highbush variety in particular – have potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. For the study, proanthocyanidins were isolated from highbush blueberries. The effects of this compound were assessed for their effects on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans bacteria, a key factor in periodontitis, or gum disease. How proanthocyanidins in blueberries protect our cells and overall quality of life The proanthocyanidins were also studied for their …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By Ken Ham A recent find at two archaeological sites in Croatia (just across the Adriatic Sea from Italy) discovered dairy lipids in several fragments of jars of pottery. This means these people were likely producing cheese and storing it for eating later. In most cases, pottery fragments finds are carefully washed. But the researchers decided to keep some pots unwashed so as to be able to do an analysis and see if they could determine what was in the jars. Had all of the pottery been washed, any traces of dairy would have been lost. So this is an

By Susan Patterson Known as the “heart herb,” hawthorn is widely recognized for its ability to improve cardiovascular performance and lift spirits. Historically, every part of the plant including flowers, leaves, stem, berries and even bark was used to make medicine in ancient Greece and Asia. Hawthorn berries were a staple in the diet of Native Americans who also revered them for their medicinal properties and used them in the treatment of gastrointestinal complaints and heart issues. In the early 1800’s, this medicinal herb was used for respiratory and circulatory conditions as well. About The Hawthorn Bush The hawthorn bush,
