[…]without you even noticing it. (Editor’s Note: We just posted a story about a new study which found that eating a junk food diet can damage your kidneys just like diabetes does. There’s another reason to stop the mindless eating!) 3. Use Smaller Plates and Taller Glasses Studies show that people tend to eat 92% of the food they serve themselves. Therefore, reducing the amount of food you serve yourself can make a significant difference to the amount of calories you consume. One easy way to reduce portion sizes without noticing the change is to use smaller plates and taller […]
[…]misdiagnosis, an emergency trip to North Carolina State University’s veterinary hospital found that the pup had an enlarged heart and fluid filled lungs. Ramsammy held him as he died, one month after his symptoms began. (Thankfully, three months later, Mico, her second schnauzer was saved.) And so, on July 12, the FDA put out a cautionary statement saying that while canine DCM was typically caused by a genetic predisposition in large breed dogs the recent cases included “Golden and Labrador retrievers, a Whippet, a Shih Tzu, a Bulldog and Miniature Schnauzers, as well as mixed breeds. Early reports … indicate that […]
[…]The results suggested that it actually could help. In other studies, MDMA has already been found to have positive impacts on treatments with PTSD, as well as relationship counseling. As TFTP’s John Vibes recently wrote, Psychedelics offer us a glimpse into the final frontier of humanity—the consciousness. With these substances, we can explore the human imagination with profound insight that will help us in our own personal lives and the bigger picture as well. We must push for new legitimate scientific research into the therapeutic uses for these drugs. These studies will prove, as they have in the past, that psychedelic compounds have many […]
[…]Chemicals Too little sleep may bring on a form of the marijuana “munchies”, say scientists who found that sleep-deprived people craved crisps, sweets and biscuits far more than healthier foods. The US researchers believe that skimping on sleep alters brain chemicals in much the same way as the hunger-boosting ingredient in cannabis, which has long propped up snack sales at 24-hour convenience stores. After several nights of poor sleep, healthy volunteers who took part in the study reached for snacks containing more calories – and nearly twice as much fat – than ones they favoured after sleeping well for the […]
[…]and trust them to find their way. But our kids still need us, no matter how old. Well Bert Fulks found a way for his kids to let him know they need him, no questions asked. Bert Fulks, a father from West Virginia, received a text message from his son in the middle of the night. The message was a solitary ‘X’, and Bert immediately jumped out of bed, called his son and told him he would be pick him up in five minutes. This is what Bert describes as the ‘X plan’; it is a way for teenagers to […]
[…]againstmultidrug-resistant bacteria and Candida species, and many other microbials. The compound found within garlic known as allicin has antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Probiotic therapy has therapeutic value in treating Klebsiella infection in children. Susceptibility to ear disease in children may be a result of deficiencies of zinc and vitamin A. Topical nanocrystalline silver dressing may provide an alternative treatment for MRSA infected wounds to oral antimicrobials. Cranberry may reduce the risk of urinary tract infections byinhibiting biofilms in the bladder. Probiotic strains from breast milk are superior to antibiotics in the treatment of infectious mastitis. Honey may have a therapeutic […]
[…]for our bodies but for our brains as well. A new study published in the journal of Neurology has found that getting in a walk, or working out at the gym, can slow brain aging by as much as 10 years! In fact, people who exercised less showed sharper declines in their cognitive scores than people who were more active. For the study, researchers asked a group of 1,228 men and women, of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds living in Manhattan, about their regular exercise habits. They answered questions testing their cognitive abilities, including their memory, organization, reasoning and thinking speed […]
A study published this week found that for Americans under the age of 55, colon and rectal cancer rates are rising. Sharply. In fact, a person born in 1990 now has twice the risk of colon cancer and four times the risk of rectal cancer at the same age, had they been born in the 50’s. And that means that screening guidelines may need to change. Rebecca Siegel, an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society and the lead author of the study said that they looked at nearly 500,000 cases of colorectal cancer from 1974 to 2013 but didn’t find concrete […]
[…]realize what a toll it can take. (You can be out of commission for a month!) In India, turmeric—found in curry powder—has traditionally been used as a remedy for traumatic pain and fatigue, so the researchers decided to put it to the test. RELATED STORY: After chemo failed & Big Pharma wrote her off, woman beats blood cancer with Turmeric According to the study, in the weeks following surgery, there was a dramatic drop in pain and fatigue scores in the turmeric curcumin group, with p-values of 0.000. Those are my kind of p-values! The “p-value” refers to a measure of the […]
[…]by the EPA as a carcinogen) during pregnancy with adverse pregnancy outcomes. They also found that exposure to arsenic could result in a child’s decreased performance on learning and cognitive tests. Because of these findings, they are now taking steps to reduce the amount of inorganic arsenic (which is the more toxic form) allowed in infant rice cereal. While traces of arsenic are present in many foods, including grains, fruits and vegetables, rice absorbs it more easily and relative to their size, infants consume about three times the amount of rice that adults do; most 8 month olds eat rice […]
[…]to the same problems as experienced by people with diabetes. But since those same problems can be found with junk food and high fat diets, similar problems might be seen in the future, the researchers said.” Dr.Havovi Chichger, a senior lecturer in biomedical science at Anglia Ruskin University and the lead author on the study, believes that a new treatment for diabetic patients includes blocking those glucose transporters in the kidneys, to reduce blood glucose levels. But, what if instead we taught people how to eat? What if a doctors first discussion was about diet. Not. More. Drugs. The Standard American Diet […]
[…]and tasted off. City officials told residents that their water was fine. Yet when tested, it was found to be highly corrosive so the city switched back, in October. Of 2015. But that was only after a group of Virginia Tech researchers, on their own- testing in homes, produced and published a damaging report about the water, and only after first dismissing the report, and only after first dismissing a local Dr’s findings about lead levels in children’s blood. Then the backtracking started: “Lead levels remain well above the federal action level of 15 parts per billion in many homes,” the […]
[…]dictate how cosmetics must be created, as outlined by the FDA. RELATED STORY: Toxic chemicals found in tattoos: Links to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases So, now the (maybe) bad news: the process of getting an Everence tattoo won’t be as fast or cheap as walking into a tattoo parlor on a Friday night: “Everence will sell for $650, which includes the kit, the process of creating the powder and eventual return to the client months later. That is, for now, the price for a permanent product that will become a part of the customer for the rest of her life. […]
[…]did autopsies to relate the patient’s illness to pathologic findings after death. This laid the foundation for scientific oncology, the study of cancer. The famous Scottish surgeon John Hunter (1728-1793) suggested that some cancers might be cured by surgery and described how the surgeon might decide which cancers to operate on. If the tumor had not invaded nearby tissue and was “moveable,” he said, “There is no impropriety in removing it.” A century later the development of anesthesia allowed surgery to flourish and classic cancer operations such as the radical mastectomy were developed. The 19th century saw the birth of […]
[…]just how bad it’s gotten. Jim Cochran, a strawberry farmer outside of Santa Cruz, California, found out first-hand. While growing conventional strawberries on his farm in 1981, he was poisoned by harmful pesticides (just as 10-20,000 American farm workers are each year), and it ended up changing his entire outlook on life and farming. “My eyes started to water, and I started to get all jittery,” he says. “I said ‘Oh boy, this is not good stuff…We have to get away from this stuff.” Disillusioned with pesticides after suffering from neurological issues for months, Jim went against the grain and decided […]
[…]Slaughter, an 86-year-old grandmother from St Louis, Missouri. RELATED STORY: Walking faster found to reduce cardiovascular death risk over 50 percent This determined senior citizen went down from a size 22 to an unbelievable size 4 in the space of a decade. She wasn’t in such a hurry to lose weight. She was more worried about keeping fit and staying strong. She made drastic changes to her diet and began to walk. All she did as exercise was walking. Apparently, from Jessica Slaughter’s story, when you take the right number of steps every day, magical things happen over time. “I […]
[…]of the carcinogen each year from Russia and Brazil. “Chlorine-based plastics are commonly found in building-product materials and “virtually all” asbestos in the U.S. is used in the industrial process to make chlorine. This includes PVC and vinyl plastics, which is largely found in the creation of pipes, tiles, flooring, adhesives, paints, and roofing products.” And if you stop and think about it, you and I have all those things listed above in our houses. I never knew that we hadn’t fully outlawed asbestos and I never knew that asbestos was used in the creation of pipes or tiles. WE KNOW […]
[…]tension headache participants for IBS symptoms and questioned those with IBS about headaches. They found that people with migraines were twice as likely to also have IBS, as people with tension headache. And more than half of those with migraines also had IBS, compared to 28 per cent of those with tension headaches. In those with IBS, 38 also had migraines and 24 also had tension headaches. When the researchers looked at the serotonin transporter gene and the serotonin receptor 2A gene, they found that the IBS and migraine/tension headache groups had at least one gene that differed from the genes of […]
A new study published in BMC Medicine used data from 20 prospective studies and found that compared with people who ate the least nuts, those who ate the most reduced their risk for: coronary heart disease by 29 percent cardiovascular disease by 21 percent cancer by 15 percent. Researchers also found a 52 percent reduced risk for respiratory disease, 39 percent for diabetes, and 75 percent reduced risk for infectious disease in those who ate the most nuts. The majority of the reduction in risk was achieved by eating an average of about one ounce of nuts a day (around two dozen […]
[…]is not just beautiful but among the richest sources of lycopene, a cancer-fighting antioxidant found in red fruits and vegetables. In fact, it contains more lycopene than raw tomatoes at about 12 milligrams per wedge, compared to 3 milligrams per medium-sized tomato. I eat it alone, blend it and drink it up, or mix it in a salad with arugula, balsamic and feta (if you eat cheese- you can also find vegan feta options made from almonds). Trust me, its as mouth watering as it is refreshing! 9. Spinach- Water content: 91.4% water Iceberg lettuce may have a higher water content, […]
