Proof The Bible Is True

Each year, in the United States, at least 2 million people become infected with antibiotic-resistance bacteria – 23,000 of them are fatal. This development of drug-resistant bacterial infections can be traced to the overuse of antibiotics leading to antibiotic resistance. However, with an estimated 200 million-plus antibiotic prescriptions written every year in the U.S., this very real threat of antibiotic-resistant “super bugs” does not seem to have slowed reliance on antibiotics. Yet, the solution is simple: research shows high doses of vitamin C – a powerful antioxidant – can successfully fight all kinds of infections. Read More: Antibiotic resistance makes [More]

Learning ability is probably the most important skill you can have. Take it from Peter Brown, Henry Roediger, and Mark McDaniel, authors of “Make It Stick: The Science Of Successful Learning.” “We need to keep learning and remembering all our lives,” they write. “Getting ahead at work takes mastery of job skills and difficult colleagues. … If you’re good at learning, you have an advantage in life.” And to learn something is to be able to remember it, say the authors, two of whom are psychology professors at Washington University in St. Louis. Unfortunately, lots of the techniques for learning [More]

Previously, nearly all GMO crops approved for planting were engineered for resistance to a single herbicide: Monsanto’s Top Selling product Roundup (glyphosate). The widespread adoption of these crops led to an explosion in Roundup use, which in turn spurred the evolution of Roundup resistance in agricultural weeds. In response to the proliferation of Roundup-resistant “superweeds,” GMO companies have turned to engineering multi-herbicide resistance into their crops. Specifically, GMO crops are now available resistant to both Roundup and the Dow herbicide 2,4-D, or Roundup and another herbicide, Dicamba. But as critics of biotechnology have repeatedly noted, the adoption of these new [More]

At any given time, there are upwards of 700,000 unused shipping containers in the United States. Some clever architects have hacked these 40-foot steel compartments into skate parks, libraries, emergency shelters and surprisingly beautiful homes. But Daniel Kuenzi has a new one. The Washington, D.C.-based entrepreneur is turning derelict shipping containers into urban farms. Challenge Cup event in Washington, D.C. in October. He won the cities category of the regional contest and will compete in the global finals this May.” A self-described “hobbyist gardener,” Kuenzi grew up in Redmond, Washington—home to Microsoft—during the tech boom of the 1990s. “At a [More]

“Some good news.”  Admin If you ever buy kid’s meals at Wendy’s you’ll be happy to know that the apples they serve will not be GM ‘Arctic apples’ as per a recent statement by the company. The company confirmed in April via email to Friends of the Earth that it has no plans to sell Arctic apples. McDonald’s and Gerber have also reportedly stated that they won’t be using this GM apple variety. Can we trust them? Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and other Big Food companies don’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to serving healthy food, but mega [More]

The World Health Organization just classified processed meats (bacon, deli meats, hotdogs) as “carcinogenic to humans” and all red meats as “probably carcinogenic to humans”, in light of multiple studies that suggest these popular meats are linked to colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer. Their findings are due to appear in Volume 114 of the IARC Monographs. Here’s an excerpt from the journal Lancet Oncology: Read More: World Health Organization just classified processed meats (bacon, deli meats, hotdogs) as “carcinogenic” and red meat as “probably carcinogenic”, in light of studies linking them to colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and prostate [More]

No one really knows the true cause of autism, but the numbers are rising, with approximately 1 in 50 school-aged children in the United States diagnosed with autism (2011). Taking into account that in 2007 this ratio was at 1 in 87 children, by 2025 it is predicted that half of United States children will have autism. Effective treatment for autism is desperately needed, but the medical establishment has been largely unsuccessful. This is why parents of autistic children, such as Kerri Rivera, often have no choice but to take matters into their own hands when learning to cope with [More]

Shockingly, one in 10 Americans is prescribed some type of antidepressant, with those numbers reaching one in four for women in their forties and fifties, according to The New York Times. The fact that such a large portion of the U.S. is on antidepressants is incredibly alarming when considering the multitude of side-effects caused by the drugs. One of the most frightening potential side effects of antidepressants, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is the development of cancer. Read More: Are overprescribed antidepressants causing cancer?

“With big Pharma having the largest lobbying group in DC this hardly comes as a surprise.”  Admin The new head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) selected by President Barack Obama has very close ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Robert Califf, an FDA deputy commissioner and cardiologist at Duke University, has had considerable dealings, including financial ones, with drug manufacturers, whose products must be approved by the agency he’s been tabbed to lead. “No one who knows him thinks he wants to weaken the regulatory agency he has been chosen to lead,” The New York Times reported. “But [More]

“The stats for kids on these drugs is staggering. I’m sure big Pharma is loving it.”  Admin While the recent New York Times article, “Thousands of Toddlers Are Medicated for A.D.H.D., Report Finds, Raising Worries,” seems shocking, the actual numbers of infants and toddlers being prescribed psychiatric drugs dwarfs the 10,000 2-3 year olds being prescribed ADHD drugs.[1] The mental health watchdog, Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) says according to data provided by IMS Health, the world’s leading health information and analytics company, hundreds of thousands of toddlers are being prescribed far more powerful psychiatric drugs than just ADHD [More]

Soda consumption in the United States has lost its pop. Sales of full-calorie soda have dropped 25% in the past two decades after a sharp increase from the 1960s to the 1990s. Americans are increasingly turning to other beverages, such as water, to quench their thirst, according to The New York Times. The sales drop has been fueled by increased concern about obesity, particularly among children. Many school districts have banished soda sales from campuses. Cities including New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco have sought to restrict sales of soda in one way or another, but have been largely stymied. [More]

If you use conventional toothpaste, you could be brushing your teeth with a chemical linked to endocrine disruption, cancer, infertility and a host of other health problems. A recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit has revealed that the Colgate-Palmolive Co. conspired with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) back in the 1990s to deliberately withhold safety data on triclosan, a dangerous biocidal chemical that is used exclusively in Colgate’s Total toothpaste brand. Total is currently the only toothpaste on the market that contains triclosan, and its continued presence in the oral care product has been the subject of [More]

There is a corporate monster in the making. If allowed to emerge, it will gain near complete control of one of the most vital elements to human survival: our global food supply. This monster – a conglomeration of two corporate entities, Monsanto and Syngenta – must be stopped for the sake of the planet and future generations. The companies that would make up this monster conglomeration both want complete control of our food. They envision a world completely inundated with their “patented” genetically modified seeds and saturated in their environmentally destructive chemicals. They seek to put all of their critics [More]

First realize that even without being diagnosed with cancer, we all have at least a few cancerous cells floating around in our “inner terrain”. A decent immune system residing in a slightly alkaline or neutral pH inner terrain is able to fend them off and keep them from colonizing into tumorous masses. On the other hand, those who indulge primarily in the SAD (Standard American Diet), which includes lots of factory farmed meat and junk foods saturated with refined sugars or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which processed foods use even with their non-sweet products to keep you addicted, along [More]

If you get all of your news from mainstream media and cable TV infotainment, then you’re probably unaware that glyphosate (the active ingredient in RoundUp herbicide) has been linked to cancer. The World Health Organization stated in March that glyphosate is a probable carcinogen, and California will soon label it as such. The MSM addict will also be unaware that long-term exposure to glyphosate—even tiny amounts deemed “safe” by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)—can lead to liver and kidney damage. The “safe” level of glyphosate for U.S. drinking water was set at 0.7 ug/L in 1994, and this has not [More]

People are drinking less liquid sugar than in previous decades, and the soda industry is doing everything it can to get back in the game. Did your grandparents ever tell stories of how soda used to cost a nickel, and was served in a small, 8-ounce glass bottle, typically enjoyed on Saturdays as an afternoon treat? Well, those days died quickly. Over the span of the last century—particularly from the 1950s into the first 10 years of the new millennium—soda will go down in the history books as a driving force in the obesity epidemic. We demonize fat, but sugar [More]

One sugary drink a day does not keep the doctor away, according to new research. A study by Harvard’s School of Public Health, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology estimates that just one “sugar sweetened beverage” can increase the risk of a heart attack by 35 per cent. Additionally, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases by just over a quarter (26 per cent), as well as the risk of a stroke increasing by 16 per cent. Researchers examined data from a number of studies and meta-studies to assess the health effects of sugary and [More]

When it comes to packing for an outdoor adventure, leave the single-purpose items at home unless you have a pack mule to carry it all. Each item in your camping/bushcraft/survival kit should be able to perform at least three different tasks beyond its intended purpose. Manly woodsmen, listen up. The women folk are more aware of the benefits and well ahead of us in using this stuff. Time to catch up! It may not be as sexy as an ax or knife, but smart woodsmen should pack this non-sexy stuff in all their kits – bushcraft, EDC, Get Home Bag, [More]

Although it is true that the majority of doctors support vaccines, most of them don’t even know what vaccines contain or their dangers. Their training ends with knowing how to administer them. They are taught vaccine reactions are rare and they are quick to share the same assurances with their patients. These assurances are not based on objective science but merely on what they were told, what they were taught. Click here for part 1: Doctors Against Vaccines – Hear From Those Who Have Done the Research Whether layperson or scientist, high school drop out or M.D., no one can [More]

Monsanto has many weapons in its arsenal when it comes to eliminating competition from non-GMO and organic farmers. After more than two decades of pushing their products onto US farmland with purposely flawed safety studies, the sheer presence of genetically modified crops poses an existential threat to the business of traditional and organic farming. A new report has come out showing the extraordinary costs that non-GMO and organic farmers incur from GMO contamination of their crops. “Results from the newest USDA survey indicate that of the farmers who chose to answer the question, 92 had experienced monetary loss between 2011 [More]

When it comes to getting the nutrients we need, the best possible source is food, specifically fruits and vegetables. They lend support to our bodies, which can’t produce enough of the nutrients necessary for it to function properly. When the food necessary to attain the recommended daily intake of these vitamins isn’t available, however, there are supplement pills. But what role do specific vitamins play when it comes to our health? Vitamins A to K all have important jobs in the body. They can be grouped into two categories: fat-soluble vitamins, which are stored in the body’s fatty tissue (vitamins [More]

Public water fluoridation continues to be one of the most controversial health topics in the United States and in other parts of the world. The American Dental Association (ADA) has been, and continues to be, one of the biggest proponents of water fluoridation, although even the government has recently admitted that fluoride may not actually be helping teeth. More scientific studies pointout that fluoride is actually very dangerous, yet this practice continues in many countries. In Europe, only Ireland (73%), Poland (1%), Serbia (3%), Spain (11%), and the U.K. (11%) fluoridate any of their water. Most developed countries, including Japan [More]

Americans are increasingly hungry for naturally-grown and healthier foods and, according to a new USDA statistics, sales of the organic farms in the U.S. skyrocketed in 2014 with consumer spending up 72 percent since 2008. The 2014 Organic Survey, released Thursday by the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), indicated that in addition to the $5.5 billion dollars worth of organic products purchased by consumers last year, there is plenty of space for continued growth of organic sales nationwide. In fact, said Laura Batcha, chief of the Organic Trade Association, consumer demand is so high, its outpacing sales. “We need [More]

Little things you do every day can add up and have a surprisingly big impact on your mental health. Because a healthy cognitive system is essential to regulating mood, and certain nutrients have a profound impact on maintaining normal brain function, eating the right foods can improve your mood and energy levels. Researchers have studied the association between foods and the brain and identified nutrients that can help combat depression and boost mood. Let’s take a look at a few of those nutrients.

McDonald’s announced earlier this year that it would soon use only antibiotic-free chicken because consumers were demanding it, and it seemed like the push to curb the overuse of antibiotics in animals raised for meat was working. A new report called Chain Reaction paints a less rosy picture. The problem with sourcing meat from animals that have been given antibiotics, whether they’re sick or not, is that as we consume more of this meat, we are harming our ability to respond to antibiotics. Seven strains of bacteria are now somewhat or completely resistant to antibiotics, according to The World Health [More]

The average American kid under age 19 gets 12% of his or her calories from fast food. That’s the equivalent of one McDonald’s hamburger, a large fries at Wendy’s, or a medium chocolate-dipped cone at Dairy Queen — every single day. That percentage is only slightly less than the last time this number was measured in 2006, when kids got an all time high of 13% of their calories from fast food, according to a new report from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. These numbers come from the 2011-12 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Adolescents especially consumed more calories from on-the-go foods than children: [More]

Blood-sucking insects, carried into the United States from Latin American immigrant regions to the border states, may be contributing to a rise in Chagas disease and more than 300,000 people with related infections living in America.Many of these insects, referred to as “assassin bugs,” are widespread carriers of a deadly parasite that causes Chagas disease according to a study just released from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) Wednesday. Researchers conclude that the threats to humans contracting the disease may be higher than formerly believed. These assassin bugs drop feces on humans while filing up with blood, whereas [More]
