Diabetes: Facts About This Modern Epidemic
According to research conducted in late 2016, life expectancy in the United States has declined for the first time in two decades, leaving the researchers baffled as to what the exact cause is.1 One of the primary perpetrators of this decline is believed to be drug overdose. But there is another major factor that has been pinpointed by a supporting study: diabetes, specifically Type 2 diabetes.2 There’s no doubt that diabetes is steadily growing to be an epidemic, particularly among Americans. According to data from the American...

Dr. Mark DeBrincat, a chiropractor and natural health physician also known as “The Good News Doctor,” has a most amazing story of recovery from one of the worst chronic debilitating pain syndromes that I’ve ever heard of, so I asked him to share his journey with you, in the hopes it may motivate you to seek natural approaches to pain.

Opioids are extremely addictive and 130 Americans die from opioid overdoses each and every day.1 The death toll...

Recipe From Naturally Savvy Pickling is one of the oldest methods of food preservation known to man, and it is believed to have originated from India around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Due to the lack of water and decrease of food production during summertime, Indians learned to preserve their food by placing them in a mixture of oil, salt and chili powder.[i] Today, pickling is generally done by soaking vegetables (mainly cucumbers) in a jar filled with vinegar. This allows the vegetables to ferment and produce probiotics, which are...
read moreNew Study, Avoid Drinking Very Hot Beverages
The fundamental goal of the $3 billion Human Genome Project1 was to discover the genetic origins to common diseases, such as cancer and dementia. Based on this knowledge, scientists believed new treatments could be developed to wipe out conditions rampant in the human population. The project was launched in 1990 and completed in 2003. While it yielded a bountiful harvest of information for biologists, any treatments have remained elusive.2 Since the goal of sequencing 3 billion units in the human genetic structure was far too expensive, the...

read moreFree Speech and Shutting Down Vaccine Debate
The U.S. Constitution protects the civil liberties of all Americans, including freedom of thought, speech, conscience, religious belief and the right to dissent and petition the government.1,2,3 Yet, in recent years we’ve seen a frightening erosion of these civil liberties under the guise of “protecting public health.” I’m talking about the ongoing effort to shut down all public discussion about vaccine safety, of course — an effort that is now reaching a fever-pitch as online communication platforms have started...

According to the latest statistics,1 17.3 million American adults (7.1 percent of the adult U.S. population) and 3.2 million adolescents (13.3 percent of U.S. population aged 12 to 17) suffered at least one major depressive episode in 2017.

Imbalances in nutrition, weight fluctuations...
read moreNew Federal Approval for Postpartum Depression Pill
The first drug to treat postpartum depression has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but there are serious questions about whether this medication will truly help new moms in need. Postpartum depression (PPD) affects about 1 in 9 women1 in the days and weeks following childbirth, although for some the symptoms begin during pregnancy. By some estimates, the prevalence of depression among women during their first year postpartum may be close to 22 percent,2 but rates of diagnosis and treatment are low — even more so...

August 10, 2018, a jury ruled in favor of plaintiff Dewayne Johnson in a truly historic case against Monsanto1 (now owned by Bayer AG2,3). Johnson — the first of several thousand pending legal cases — claimed Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup caused his Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Forty-six-year-old Johnson sprayed about 150 gallons of Roundup 20 to 40 times per year while working as a groundskeeper for the Benicia school district in California, from 2012 through late 2015.4 His lawsuit, filed in 2016 after he became too ill to work, accused Monsanto of...
read moreStop the Sewer Sludge From Ending Up in Your Food
The term “biosolids” was coined to cover the more visually disgusting term of sewage sludge, a product used by farmers as fertilizer on agricultural land. This under-publicized threat to human health is generated during the treatment of domestic waste and contains a cocktail of hazardous substances discharged into the sewer system. Combined sewer systems are an underground network of pipes designed to dry out streets by collecting rainwater, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater in the same pipe. When sewer lines run directly into...

The Marlboro brand owns nearly 40 percent of the cigarette market share.1 Marlboro is owned by Philip Morris, which in turn is owned by Altria. Altria also owns U.S. Smokeless Tobacco, makers of Copenhagen and Skoal chewing tobacco. In December 2018, Altria announced a $12.8 billion investment in Juul Laboratories, in exchange for 35 percent ownership in the company. The acquisition also promised Juul services to accelerate the mission of the e-cigarette (e-cigs) company.2 With a declared mission to change “the lives of the...
read moreCan Organic Certifiers Be Trusted?
When you see a certified organic food at your local supermarket, a variety of standards likely come to mind. You probably assume the food is free from pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but beyond that may also expect that it was produced with the highest levels of quality and integrity, for instance, allowing animals access to pasture, fresh air and sunlight. Such assumptions are not always accurate, unfortunately, as there is a wide range of quality among organic products, and these quality discrepancies may be — at least...

By Barbara Loe Fisher On a cold winter morning in November 2007, I watched hundreds of parents line up with their children in front of a Maryland county courthouse. The children had been kicked out of school by state officials and were truant. The mothers and fathers were holding letters threatening them with imprisonment or fines of $50 a day for failing to show proof their children had gotten a chickenpox or hepatitis B shot.1 Confused, angry and frightened, but mostly resigned, they were working moms and dads trudging toward the courthouse...
read moreWill Raw Milk Save Dairy Farmers?
As corporations continue to take control of the food supply, small family farms are giving way to concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) mass producing a surplus of poor-quality food. Conventional milk is a prime example. Milk surpluses have led the price of milk to plummet. In Wisconsin, farmers are getting nearly 40 percent less for their milk than they were in 2014. Nearly 700 dairy farms closed in the state in 2018, most of them small operations.1 As CAFOs became the norm for dairy farms (even in idyllic-seeming dairy states like...
