By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Iodine is essential to your health. Unfortunately, data collected by the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey has revealed a significant drop in median urine iodine values.1 The median iodine level measured in urine samples was 320 micrograms per liter (mcg/L) between 1971 and 1974. By 1988, it dropped to 145 mcg/L. Surveys taken in the years since show levels have stabilized, except in pregnant women whose median urine level dropped further to 125 mcg/L. Many people don’t know they need to consume a little iodine each day to maintain healthy levels of

Your body contains not just one biological clock, but a vast array of clocks that regulate everything from metabolism to psychological functioning.

By Dr. Mercola Achiote (Bixa orellana), or annatto, is a spice that is used by a large portion of the world’s population. It’s easy to decipher whether a dish contains achiote through the distinct red-orange color that it gives off. While the main use for achiote is for dyeing and coloring, it also adds a subtle flavor to any dish. In small amounts, achiote does not exude a very strong flavor, but if used copiously, people have noted that it has a subtle peppery taste with a nutty and sweet aroma.1 This spice is largely used in Latin American and

A petition before the U.S. Supreme Court carries big implications for the First Amendment. Thomas More Law Center is asking the court to prevent what it calls Maine’s persecution of a pro-life pastor who is also a pro-life activist. “Pastor Andrew March preaches peacefully on the public sidewalk outside the Planned Parenthood in Portland, Maine, which is a very unfriendly place for pro-lifers,” says TMLC attorney Kate Oliveri. The pastor “calmly” talks to women, without yelling or using a megaphone, the attorney insists, but Portland officials are prosecuting him and others under a noise provision in the

Five hundred years ago this month, the Reformation was initiated by a German priest and professor named Martin Luther and continued by others such as Calvin and Zwingli. Luther’s nailing of his famed 95 Theses to a church door in Wittenberg began the Reformation in October 1517. It was a movement that called the church back to the authority of God and away from the fallible opinions of man, which had severely compromised the clear teaching of the Word of God. The Bible-upholding movement was so powerful that today we are still experiencing the effects of this historical earthquake

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) In any given year, about 25% of all U.S. adults have a mental illness and nearly 50% of U.S. adults will develop at least one mental illness during their lifetime. These statistics are staggering! Yet, when it comes to brain health and behavioral disorders, Western medicine is clearly missing the point – in terms of an effective solution. You see, conventionally-trained physicians – especially psychiatrists – are heavily indoctrinated with the notion that the only ‘reasonable’ treatments for psychiatric conditions are counseling and prescription …read more Source: Natural Health 365

But rather than a fruit for eating, the outer “zest” of the fruit, sans the white pulp, as well as the oil from the leaves and branches, are used as a medicinal. Bitter orange, which purportedly arrived in the Americas with the Spanish and Portuguese in the 1500s, has many other names, depending on the country talking about it.

By Admin – Orissa Parents in New York City protest against Child Protection Services “disproportionately targeting poor families in removing children, when often their only crime is being poor.” Story here. Comments by Terri LaPointInvestigative Writer, Health Impact News Parents whose children have been taken from them by Child Protective Services often tell us that the system is backwards. Instead of being presumed innocent until proven guilty, everyone involved with CPS assumes guilt, even in the face of no evidence of guilt. Some jurisdictions are taking this presumption of guilt without evidence a frightening step further: they are using “predictive

On this day in 1517—exactly 500 years ago—the church and culture were changed forever when a defiant monk nailed his 95 Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. This act by Martin Luther is considered the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, a period that would radically reform the church as she returned to God’s Word, not man’s tradition, as the authority for life and practice. A World Primed for Reform Much has changed over the five centuries since Luther’s bold stance on God’s Word. But the world of Luther is one that parallels our own in

If you think about it for a minute, though, you may realize that it’s been awhile since your windshield was covered with insects. This may initially seem like a good thing, but this occurrence, dubbed the “windshield phenomenon” by entomologists,1 is an ominous warning — a canary in the coalmine that the environment is in grave danger. “I’m a very data-driven person,”

Editor’s Note: First published in St. Louis MetroVoice 5, no. 2 (February 1995). The bitterest pill to swallow for any Christian who attempts to “make peace” with Darwin is the presumed animal ancestry of man. Even many Christians who uncritically accept evolutionary dogma as “God’s way of creating” try to elevate man and his origin above that of the beasts. Evolutionists attempt to soften the blow by assuring us that man didn’t exactly evolve from apes (tailless monkeys) but rather from ape-like creatures. This is mere semantics, as may be seen from the fact that many of the

Water fluoridation continues to occur in the majority of the U.S. even as research stacks up that fluoride is a neurotoxin that can harm brain function. A study of Mexican women and children is among the latest to raise concern, showing that higher exposure to fluoride while in utero is associated with lower scores on tests of cognitive function in childhood, both at the age of 4 and 6 to 12 years.1 The study involved
