The amount of livestock in the U.S. has spiked in recent years, yet the number of farms has gotten smaller. In 2015, only four companies were responsible for 85 percent of the country’s beef-packing industry. This is part of a trend known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO), where animals like chickens, pigs and cows are raised in confined spaces. This sounds bad enough when you think about it from the animals’ perspective, but it’s also pretty bad for us humans. Think about it: These operations generate a huge amount of animal feces and urine – more than 40 times…
Margaret Sanger’s legacy has reportedly been granted approval by Circuit Court Judge Michael Stelzer to seal the list of health violations that recently led to the temporary closure of Missouri’s only abortion clinic, located in St. Louis. Reproductive Health Services (RHS) of Planned Parenthood had earlier requested to have the official “statement of deficiencies” filed by Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) officially sealed in order to conceal from the public the horrors that had been taking place at Planned Parenthood’s only abortion clinic in Missouri, to which pro-life groups vehemently objected. But Planned Parenthood has now been…
A Big Pharma front group known as the Center for Inquiry (CFI) has reportedly filed a new lawsuit against Walmart for selling natural homeopathic medicine, which the pill-pushing “nonprofit” organization has conveniently and arbitrarily declared to be “fake” medicine. CFI’s suit alleges that Walmart is “committing wide-scale consumer fraud and endangering the health of its customers through its sale and marketing of homeopathic medicines,” and thus seeks to force Walmart, as well as other retailers, into selling only Big Pharma pills and vaccines at their government-sanctioned pharmacies – even though many of these drugs, including SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors)…
Medicinal mushrooms, such as chaga, reishi, shiitake, lion’s mane, and cordyceps, are some of the most dynamic healing foods available. Listed below are five health benefits that medicinal mushrooms offer.

For example, reishi mushroom extracts are reported to reduce free radical activity. Chaga, another medicinal mushroom, also has potent antioxidant activity for scavenging free radicals, according to a study published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. Another study in the journal Carbohydrate Polymers reported that polysaccharides in cordyceps mushrooms can improve the antioxidant activity…
The food you eat greatly affects your health: It can either keep you healthy or contribute to diseases. A review of literature published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine suggested that food therapy is an effective way to control blood pressure. Author Ping Zhou, a researcher from Nipissing University in Canada, looked at the beneficial effects of food therapy on controlling hypertension or high blood pressure. He summed up the basic concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, the principles of food therapy, and its application for hypertension control based on Chinese literature in this paper. In traditional Chinese medicine, food…
Acupuncture is a type of healing technique that has been shown to relieve pain, including those caused by osteoarthritis. In addition to this, it can also improve gait or mobility in people with osteoarthritis of the knee, according to a study published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine. In the study, a team of researchers from National Taiwan University and China Medical University looked at the effects of acupuncture on gait in people with osteoarthritis of the knee. To do this, the research team examined the immediate effects of acupuncture on the inter-joint and inter-limb load-sharing in patients with knee…
Your blood sugar and impulsive behavior may influence behavioral flexibility or your ability to respond to changes in the environment. A study published in the journal Nutrition Research found that measures of impulsivity and blood sugar regulation can be used to predict behavioral flexibility. Both psychological and physiological factors influence behavioral flexibility performance, and evidence suggests that impulsivity and blood glucose can affect executive function, of which behavioral flexibility is a subdomain. Therefore, a team of researchers from Northumbria University and Sheffield Hallam University in the U.K., Sunway University in Malaysia, and NeuroCognitive Institute in the U.S. investigated whether impulsivity…
Yoga is becoming more and more popular: It’s now one of the most commonly used complementary health approaches. In the U.S. alone, around 14 percent of adults practice this form of meditation. Children are also jumping in on the trend. According to a report released by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a principal agency of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about eight percent of teens and children, ages four to 17, started practicing yoga in 2017. There are different types of yoga. Some promote meditation, while others combine both meditation and exercise. One particular type that…
Brushing and flossing are critical for dental health, but are your kids using too much toothpaste? The CDC just silently issued a public health warning over children’s exposure to dangerous amounts of fluoride through excessive toothpaste use. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin and causes permanent damage to developing brains. While the dental industry may promote fluoride as some kind of miracle substance, the truth is that the fluoride added to our water supply and dental care products are toxic leftovers from the fertilizer industry. For years, dental care product manufacturers have loaded up their toothpastes and other products with dangerous…
Flaxseed are one of nature’s many superfoods. Like other nuts and seeds, flax is loaded with vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and phytonutrients. It’s not a secret that flax is good for you, but science continues to find new ways to harness the powerful healing benefits of this “super seed.” New research shows that flaxseed can help improve gut health by fostering good gut bacteria — and it can help promote weight loss. Like other naturally beneficial, healing foods, flaxseed has been subject to plenty of scrutiny over the years. Naysayers from the “conventional”medicine community are always quick to dismiss the…
What comes to mind when you think of ways to prevent dementia? Many people associate brain exercises with reducing your risk of this heartbreaking illness, but it turns out that physical exercise can be just as beneficial. The latest study supporting this idea recently appeared in the journal Neurology. Researchers looked at 800 Swedish women whose average age was 47 and followed them over more than four decades to reach their conclusion. The participants were asked about their mental activities, which included intellectual activities like writing and reading, artistic activities like singing in a choir or attending concerts, religious activities,…
If you suffer from chronic pain, chances are you’ve already tried quite a few pain remedies, whether it’s over-the-counter or prescription pain medication or alternative treatments like acupuncture. However, many people overlook the importance of changing their diet when it comes to addressing pain. Food can serve as medicine when it comes to many ailments – perhaps you’ve heard of eating cherries for gout or turmeric for arthritis – and pain is no exception. In fact, an anti-inflammatory diet can go quite far as part of an integrative approach to pain management, and making useful changes in what you eat…
There’s nothing better than a freshly picked, organic blueberry. These delectable little berries are quite versatile and can be eaten on their own or used in a variety of dishes, from sweet baked goods to savory dinners. But blueberries have more to offer than their sweet flavor; this humble fruit is a nutrient powerhouse and has all the health benefits to prove it. While blueberries are known for their nutritional potency, new research has uncovered yet another amazing health benefit. Scientists from King’s College London have found that eating just 200 grams of blueberries a day can dramatically improve the…

The hemp plant in and of itself is easily one of the most versatile crops you can grow: It can be used for a variety of purposes, ranging from fabric and paper goods to foodstuffs. You can eat hemp seeds whole, you can make them into a seed…
The apathetic denial of heartless Leftists who claim that unborn babies are just random “clumps of cells,” and that these “fetuses,” as they love to call them, somehow don’t feel pain when they’re aborted, will never stamp out the ugly but persistent truth that terminating unborn human life is completely inhumane and barbaric. During a powerful speech he gave at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., renowned pediatric neurosurgeon and former Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson spoke about the sanctity of unborn human life. He explained the fact that babies, no matter how small, most…
The me-centered mindset of LGBTQP cultists knows no bounds, as homosexual men in the United Kingdom are now knowingly contaminating the blood donor supply with their tainted blood in order to selfishly achieve what they perceive and demand as “equality” with non-LGBTQPs. Even though U.K. law prohibits sodomites from donating blood if they’ve had sexual relations with other men in the past three months – the purpose of this being to protect vulnerable patients from contracting sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) – some self-worshiping gays are reportedly lying on medical forms and donating their blood anyway – because “tolerance” and “love.” These…
