When you look at the American people as a whole, it’s clear that they don’t care about their health all that much. From the disgusting, imitation food that we shove into our mouths, to the pharmaceutical drugs we become addicted to, and our overall lack of wellness, our country’s citizens visibly don’t take care of […]

Credit Suisse has been making headlines recently, but for all the wrong reasons. If funding the Dakota Access Pipeline wasn’t enough reason to dislike the bank, how about their involvement in 2 additional massive monopoly makers? The food and energy markets have huge mergers which will allow the corporations to dominate at our expense. These […]

The Japanese call it shinrin-yoku. In English, this phrase means ‘forest bathing.’ And when you take a quiet, non-strenuous walk in the woods, you are being bathed in the forest’s natural cure. Keep in mind that ‘forest bathing’  is a leisurely stroll, not a mountain hike or rock climb, and, according to Inc.com, this action produces profound benefits. It can help […]

The human body is a fascinating thing. It often seems to defy its own rules. While health anomalies seem to be happening every day recently, this is nothing new. There are far too many morbidly obese people living in America today, but this is neither an American problem nor a modern one. Issues with weight […]

Is McDonald’s at the end of its reign as the fast food overlord? Studies have shown that less than 1 in 5 millennials have tried the iconic Big Mac from the double arches, opting instead for the healthier options of other, not-so-fast-food, chains. As more restaurants such as Shake Shack and SmashBurger become available, with […]

A recently released “state of the science” review by the Pesticide Action Network International (PAN) contains a wealth of research that documents the adverse environmental and human health impacts of glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides.  The review’s findings emphasize the need for these compounds to be permanently phased out.

Our lymphatic system runs parallel to the circulatory system, transporting the larger molecules that our veins can’t. Lymphatic tissue, vessels and nodes are located in our bone marrow, tonsils, above the collar bone, under the arms, in the abdomen, spleen, hip and intestinal wall, as reported by Lymphnet.org. This system contains white blood cells to fight infection and removes bodily toxins, waste and other molecules too large […]

By now, most people are familiar with gluten-intolerance or know someone living a gluten-free lifestyle.

It has been a very busy year for the Department of Health in Philadelphia. Surprise inspections in just the beginning of October alone have managed to shut down two major fast food franchises due to insect infestations while others were closed due to mice and other infractions. Checkers, a major fast food chain known for […]

When you’re a liberal progressive Democrat, the rules for “things that outrage you” don’t apply when you’re doing that same thing yourself. Take big game hunting stories in recent months and the ballistic, foul-mouthed, vitriolic and hate-filled responses they drew, especially on social media. But, if you’re a lib-progressive and you hunt, well, that’s okay. […]

A new study led by researchers from the University of Southampton has revealed that nicotinamide, and possibly tryptophan, may help to reduce the risk of eczema. Eczema is a painful skin condition that affects children across the world. It’s characterized […]

A doctoral student from a prestigious Chinese university has claimed that a national GMO testing center has actually been forging maintenance records on dozens of GMO projects for years. China’s Ministry of Agriculture has promised to open an investigation into the PhD student’s allegations. Wei Jingliang, a former PhD student at the Chinese Academy of […]

Millions of women use brand name deodorants straight from a drug store or grocery store shelf without giving any thought to the toxic chemicals lurking within. To make matters worse, they are unwittingly applying these deodorant sticks and sprays to cleanly shaven underarms that lie adjacent to another important part of the body’s immune system – the auxiliary lymph nodes. After shaving, the open pores in the underarm, and those lymph nodes, are […]

Research indicates that with a few lifestyle modifications, up to 40 percent of all cancers can be totally prevented. This just goes to show that poor health is not all about genetics; much of what we choose in our everyday lives can have a serious impact on our future. There are lots of things that […]
