Elderberries make flu shots look like ridiculous poison cocktails Thursday, June 13, 2013 by: Lance Johnson (NaturalNews) With the flu season behind us, it's definitely not time to grow passive and lax toward taking care of our immune system. Now is the perfect time to think about growing, harvesting, and utilizing key anti-flu herbs that protect against virus and bacteria. A real flu fighter isn't a cocktail shot in the arm; rather, a true flu fighter is a naturally antiviral, antibacterial, immune building powerhouse. One wonderful food medicine flourishing right among us is the elderberry. This flu fighting Spartan has been used throughout history to deter influenza virus. In ...

Flu shots and chemotherapy are 'systemic health care frauds' warns Mike Adams in Health Revolt interview Sunday, November 22, 2015 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) (Article by Natural News editors) When it comes to flu shots, "You have incompetent people injecting ignorant people who make a drug for crazy people," says Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, referring to the bizarre and tragically ironic case of the New Jersey nurse who injected 70 people with flu vaccine using the same syringe. What makes this nearly unbelievable story so ironic is that the 70 people subjected to injection with the same dirty needle were all employees of a pharmaceutical company ...

Most of you won't want to hear this truth about health and diseases because to be disease free we have to change our lifestyle. If you listen to the whole YouTube video below and dig a little deeper, you'll see that this makes PERFECT COMMON SENSE however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXx7AX82GK0 It turns out our digestive systems are 98 percent identical to primates who are Frugivores and eat mostly raw fruit and some tender leafy greens and a few nuts which are alkaline forming. We are not omnivores like dogs or pigs like we've been told. A lot of what we've been told by so called natural health "experts" and practitioners -- even some Naturopathic Doctors ...

ScienceAlert... While the work continues to try and find a cure for cancer, scientists are also busy looking for preventative treatments to stop it from developing in the first place. A European team of researchers is taking an usual route to find a solution: they're developing a sausage that could cut out the causes of colon cancer. The secret ingredients, as it were, are plants and berries - the idea is that these antioxidants can help make the meat safer to eat and prevent colon cancer from developing. The specially enhanced foodstuff would, in theory, effectively combine the benefits of fruit and vegetables with the sausage meat. "If this hypothesis proves to be true, it ...

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Years of schooling and training are needed to teach pathologists and radiologists to spot cancer on medical images, but a new study finds that pigeons can be about as accurate as these professionals, with the help of a few food pellets. People don't have to worry about bird brains diagnosing their cancers any time soon, but the study's lead researcher says pigeons may have a future standing in for pathologists and radiologists in the kinds of mind-numbing studies of new technologies that involve examining thousands of images. "If you showed me 10 images, I'd be ok," said Dr. Richard Levenson, of the University of California ...
Is whole milk better for you than low-fat options?

For decades we’ve been encouraged to stay away from full-cream milk and other full-fat dairy in order to minimise our risk of heart disease. But research over the past few years has shown that whole milk is likely not that bad for you after all. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans say you should substitute whole milk for low-fat and fat-free options. But now, according to The Washington Post reporter Peter Whoriskey, these US government indications on what to eat are receiving an update, and that will involve tackling a vital question - do saturated fats, such as those found in dairy, actually contribute to heart disease? The reason we worry about saturated fats is cholesterol: the ...
20 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Eat Fast Food

Fast food. It’s cheap, convenient and marketed to us when we’re young, in the hope that we’ll be consumers for life. For many companies, that strategy has paid off. But there’s a wrinkle in that math. If we eat too much of this stuff, that frequent consumer’s lifespan could be a lot shorter than if he’d eaten more food unassociated with clowns, colonels, kings and freckle-faced girls with red pigtails. See, in many cases, fast food is highly processed and contains large amounts of carbohydrates, added sugar, unhealthy fats and sodium. These foods are almost always high in calories while offering little in the way of nutrition. And when fast food frequently ...
Researchers link brain fold with schizophrenic hallucination

s "Hallucinations are very complex phenomena that are a hallmark of mental illness," said researcher Jane Garrison. CAMBRIDGE, England, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Researchers have discovered a correlation between schizophrenic hallucinations and the length of a brain fold found in the frontal lobe. Previous studies showed that among healthy people, the length of a brain fold known as the paracingulate sulcus (PCS) corresponded with a person's ability to differentiate between real and imagined information. The author of that study, Jon Simons, a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, decided to look at the same brain structure among schizophrenic patients. He found a similar ...

ScienceTimes... A new study conducted by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) revealed that crispy potatoes, crunchy chips and charred toasted breads might have high-levels of cancer-causing toxins. The study measured the amount of acrylamide on home-cooked foods mentioned earlier. Experts advised that "a light golden color" for chips and potatoes is recommended, while "the lightest color acceptable" should be observed when toasting breads. Despite sounding so delicious, the crispier potato or chips become, the higher the acrylamide level is. Acrylamide is under the "genotoxic carcinogen" that "has the potential to cause cancer by interacting with the genetic ...
Incidental Femoral Hernias More Common Than Thought

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A sizable proportion of men undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair also have undiagnosed femoral hernias, according to Pennsylvania-based researchers. As Dr. Brian S. Zuckerbraun told Reuters Health by email, "The findings of this study suggest that femoral hernias are present at a higher rate than what has previously been recognized. We don't know how many of these are or would become symptomatic." In a November 11 online paper in JAMA Surgery, Dr. Zuckerbraun and colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh note that apart from other advantages, a laparoscopic approach allows visualization of all hernial orifices in the groin ...
Multiple cups of coffee a day linked to lower risk of premature death

BOSTON, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- For years, studies have cautiously shown that moderate amounts of coffee can be beneficial for brain and liver health, as well as reduce the risk for several types of cancer. Researchers have now linked three to five cups of coffee per day to an overall lower risk of premature death, according to a new review of data on more than 200,000 health professionals. The lowered risk was associated with a moderate amount of coffee, as opposed to those who drink only a cup or two, or no coffee at all, who did not see the health benefits. When researchers adjusted for those who smoke cigarettes, the benefits of all that coffee were even greater. The idea that coffee can ...
Scientists find way to grow tooth enamel, reduce pain linked to decay

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- In two recent studies, researchers at the University of Southern California found an enzyme in teeth important for the formation of enamel and a way to motivate it to help regrow enamel -- which may help reduce the pain of tooth decay more effectively than a cap. Matrix metalloproteinase-20, or MMP20, is found only in teeth, working with other enzymes to organize the crystals that make up enamel. Because the tooth-protecting bioceramic, the hardest found in the body, is non-living tissue and does not actually grow, researchers have found a way to grow an enamel-like substance nearly as strong as the naturally-occurring version. Cavities are usually treated ...

When making diagnosis or treatment decisions, researchers suggest doctors not rely on peripheral thermometers. Photo by Piotr Adamowicz/Shutterstock WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Patient temperature is a primary way of monitoring conditions or detecting illness, making accuracy important. Although rectal thermometers are generally not a patient's first choice, a new study suggests central thermometers, which take temperatures inside the body from a pulmonary artery catheter, urinary bladder, esophagus, or rectum, are more accurate and sensitive than peripheral thermometers. Peripheral thermometers have become popular and preferred for the sake of comfort, however taking temperature ...

Charlie Sheen does NOT have HIV... AIDS industry skeptic says it's all fabricated based on flimsy, fraudulent science Tuesday, November 17, 2015 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) While the popular media is blowing up over reports that claim Charlie Sheen is HIV positive and may have infected dozens (or even hundreds) of other people, one AIDS industry skeptic says that's absurd. Sheen can't "infect" someone else with HIV because HIV has never been isolated, systematically identified and reliably tested, he says. The scientific tests are wildly unreliable and can be falsely triggered positive by blood proteins caused by pregnancy, allergies or even ...

These days, coming out of the hospital healthier than you went in is a crap shoot. That's because these facilities are breeding grounds for antibiotic resistant bacteria. Now, MRSA is probably the first thing that pops into your mind. That's because it's in the news a lot. What you don't hear, however, is that almost all invasive MRSA infections are associated with health care. In fact, more than a million patients are infected each year. You can also pick up a deadly form of diarrhea when you're in the hospital. It's called c. difficile. And it's incredibly difficult to treat. That's because antibiotics are largely to blame for this nasty infection. ...

US News...It's common for people to ply health and nutrition experts for insider tips, secrets or tricks for weight loss. Our common response to these entreaties is very unsatisfying to most: There's no magic formula. Just eat less overall, and less junk in particular. This tried and true conventional wisdom still holds true for sure, and there's no getting around it. But what if you are already eating a reduced calorie diet -- one that by all calculations should be promoting weight loss -- but the scale simply isn't budging? This is a situation I often encounter with my patients, and the trick to breaking through the plateau often lies with changing when they're ...
Blood-Brain Barrier Safely Breached
Post Date: 2015-11-17 05:06:59 by Tatarewicz

Medscape Medical News Doctors at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, have noninvasively penetrated the blood-brain barrier to deliver a chemotherapeutic agent directly into a patient’s malignant brain tumor. This is the first time that the blood-brain barrier has been safely breached in a human, the researchers say. The blood-brain barrier has long thwarted the delivery of chemotherapeutic and other agents into the brain. But the Toronto doctors hope that the technique they used, focused ultrasound, will continue to be successful in safely penetrating what has been a persistent obstacle to treating not only brain tumors but also other diseases, such as ...

The Copenhagen-based Happiness Research Institute has a simple formula for increasing your happiness, social activity and concentration, but it might not be something you’re willing to do. Checking Facebook gives us instant gratification in the form of new likes and friend requests and provides a virtual one-stop shop for keeping up with the people we care about and the news we’re interested in. But does it also make us unhappy? A new study from the Happiness Research Institute suggests that it might. The institute conducted an experiment on 1,095 people in Denmark, asking half of them to refrain from using Facebook for one week. The participants were asked to evaluate their ...

Alternative uses for honey Posted on November 16, 2015 by Dan F. Sullivan Views: 68 This article originally appeared on Survival Sullivan. When we speak of honey, the word “sweet” is usually not far behind. It’s because honey contains different types of sugars such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose. It is produced by bees from the nectar of flowers and stocked up for the long winter season. We humans then harvest this honey for our own consumption. We are all aware of the great uses of honey in the kitchen, but there is more to it than meets the eye. Much like your regular Swiss Army knife, honey has a multitude of uses that goes beyond its sweet taste. It is a ...
