By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Science is only beginning to unravel the importance your gut and oral microbiome have in relationship to your overall health. With nearly 700 microbial species colonizing the hard surfaces of your teeth and soft tissue, your mouth houses the second most diverse microbial community in your body. The complexities of the oral microbiome have given scientists new insights into the role it plays in both health and disease. Modern-day lifestyle choices may have detrimental consequences allowing disease-promoting bacteria to thrive and trigger health conditions. Effectively balancing your oral microbiome is important to restoring oral

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Teflon is perhaps best known for coating nonstick pans with a slippery surface, such that overeasy eggs slide off with just a flick of your wrist. Yet, this chemical is also found in other consumer goods, from stain-resistant and waterproof clothing to, as revealed by a recent Environmental Working Group (EWG) report, cosmetics and personal care products. Teflon is a brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic fluoropolymer, and one of a large group of fluorinated chemicals known as polyfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFASs), which include PFOA and PFOS.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) Alzheimer’s disease, which currently affects over 5.5 million Americans, is the leading cause of dementia among older individuals in the United States. Despite the best efforts of Western medicine, very little progress has been made against this cruel disease in the century since its identification. But, there is hope in many natural (and effective) strategies to prevent dementia – including the use of nicotinamide riboside. Research conducted by top neuroscientists highlights the potential of nicotinamide riboside, a form of vitamin B-3, to combat Alzheimer’s disease and …read more Source: Natural Health 365

As people age, their intestinal stem cells begin to lose their ability to regenerate. These stem cells are the source for all new intestinal cells, so this decline can make it more difficult to recover from gastrointestinal infections or other conditions that affect the intestine. This age-related loss of stem cell function can be reversed by a 24-hour fast, according to a new study from MIT biologists. The researchers found that fasting dramatically improves stem cells’ ability to regenerate. …read more Source: Prevent Disease

Again and again, research shows no-calorie sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose cause the same problems as excess sugar, and then some. According to the latest statistics1 nearly 40 percent of American adults, over 18 percent of teens and nearly 14 percent of young children are now obese, not just overweight, and processed foods and sweetened beverages are clearly driving factors.

His testimonial deconstructs the conceived ideas on what is the best education for the optimal development of a child. He actually lays a new foundation for “an alternative to education”. What if a child left alone without any constraint to learn specific notions and topics at a specific time, had actually a spontaneous disposition to learn

The researchers believe these children and llamas were sacrificed 500 years ago to “fend off the repeated disruptions wrought by El Niño.” Evidence indicates they had their hearts taken out!
