(NaturalNews) It's not difficult to understand the appeal of Wi-Fi. This revolutionary technology, which has been commercially available since 1999, eliminates cabling and wiring for computers, reduces cellular usage charges and allows us to connect to the Internet from anywhere with a signal. Despite these benefits, however, studies continue to show that the radiation generated by wireless routers is negatively affecting our health. In fact, the British activist website Stop Smart Meters recently published a list of 34 scientific studies demonstrating the adverse biological effects of Wi-Fi exposure, including studies linking it to headaches, reduced sperm count and oxidative stress. ...

Here in Los Angeles, I am constantly asked about addition of herbs and vitamins to anti-cancer treatment regimens. We are expected to answer these questions just as well as inquiries about diet and exercise. Fortunately, there is a new tool that can help us answer these questions. Dr. Barrie Cassileth of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has developed an app for iphones, ipads, and ipods (About Herbs can be downloaded from the App store). I have used this app to help to identify proper doses of herbals, be aware of adverse effects, and review reported beneficial effects from peer-reviewed published studies. This helps me in recommending evidence-based medical interventions to my ...

Utah resident Virginia Ward cried on November 18 as she was sentenced to 90 days in jail – and three years of probation — for drug trafficking. This meant that she would join the large and ever-growing population of prisoners she helped to create as a former Justice Court Judge. As if in compensation for having to spend Christmas behind bars, Ward was allowed to open several presents early. When she was arrested earlier this year, Ward confronted the possibility of two 15-year prison sentences for her role in a multistate smuggling operation. Before the case went before a judge, the prosecutor had dropped one of the charges in exchange for a guilty plea. Thus began an unusual ...
U.S. FDA to phase out antibiotics in animal production

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Wednesday announced a voluntary plan to phase out the use of "medically important" antibiotics that make food- producing animals grow faster or more efficiently. Certain antimicrobials have historically been used in the feed or drinking water of cattle, poultry, hogs, and other food animals for production purposes such as using less food to gain weight. Because some of them are important for the treatment of human infection, there are concerns that this practice may contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, which means a drug may no longer be as effective in treating illnesses or ...

A team of German researchers has achieved a success in creating sugar- free candies that can help teeth knock out cavity causing and gum damaging. The newly produced candy which enriched with dead good bacteria can actually fight cavities, according to the report published in journal Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins. The human mouth contains a variety of good and bad bacteria, say the researchers from the Berlin-based firm Organobalance GmbH who produced new sugar-free candies. The candy benefits teeth when the good bacteria bind to bad cavity-producing bacteria in the mouth to prevent tooth decay. After eating food, bad bacteria like Mutans streptococci remain on the surface of ...

GMOs cause horrible deformities, birth defects in piglets Wednesday, December 11, 2013 by: Jonathan Benson, staff writer Tags: GMOs, farm animals, birth defects (NaturalNews) When Danish pig farmer Ib Pedersen first noticed the sudden uptick in disease, deformities and death among his farrow, his immediate reaction was to investigate the diet of his pigs to look for possible causes. And what he found confirms what a growing body of evidence also suggests: that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in conventional animal feed are increasingly responsible for triggering birth defects, deformities, spontaneous abortions and other growth and development abnormalities in both pigs and cattle. ...

Vitamin D may help fight multiple sclerosis: study

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- Vitamin D may help fight multiple sclerosis (MS) by preventing damage-causing immune cells from entering the brain, U.S. researchers said Monday. The findings, published online in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may help better explain why the so-called "sunshine vitamin" may prevent or ease symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. The quest to understand the role of the nutrient began with the observation that MS is more prevalent in regions of the world farthest from the equator where there is less sunshine, the main natural source of vitamin D. MS is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, caused when the ...

GMO Food - It’s Worse Than We Thought By S.A. Nickerson Over the last decade, as genetically modified, or GMO, foods have increasingly taken over our food supply, we’ve been learning more about their dangers to our health. Now, one courageous doctor is pointing to mounting evidence that leaves no doubt — GMO foods are even worse than we were told. As this respected doctor points out in a riveting new presentation, no long-term human studies have ever supported GMO safety. Shockingly, the World Health Organization only requires a mere 90 days of testing to claim that GMOs are safe. Well, no one dies from smoking cigarettes within 90 days of starting to smoke, either!
