Researchers Surprised by the Level of Toxicity Found in Rubber Gloves
Plastics in the environment break down into microplastics consumed by marine animals worldwide. But the chemicals leached from plastic products may represent an even bigger issue, one that starts the moment they enter the water.1 Further, in a study of 50 common consumer products, those made of rubber turned out to be most toxic,2 surprising the researchers since untreated rubber is considered natural. The number of chemical compounds in plastic goods added another shock. One rubber car tire contained 2,456 chemical features, with a median of...

According to medical journalist Robert Whitaker, author of “Mad in America” and publisher of madinamerica.com, the widely-made claim that antidepressants work for nearly 7 out of 10 real-world patients is based on research misconduct and scientific fraud. “If the major media picks up on this story, they will have the chance to report on what arguably is the worst — and most harmful — scandal in American medical history,” he wrote in a January 3, 2024, article.1 The STAR*D Study The study in question, the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to...
read moreIncreasing Rate of Medical Mistakes and Misdiagnosis
Medical errors remain a leading cause of death in the U.S., where an estimated 795,000 people become permanently disabled or die every year due to misdiagnoses.1 Among hospitalized adults who died or were transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU), diagnostic errors are also disturbingly common.2 Describing diagnostic errors as “the most under-resourced public health crisis we face,” researchers with Johns Hopkins School of Medicine said the public is largely unaware of the full scope of medical misdiagnoses in the U.S.3 US...
read moreTips and Tricks to Help You Fall Asleep Faster
Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published February 16, 2017. Sleep deprivation has the same effect on your immune system as physical stress or illness, which helps explain why lack of sleep is tied to an increased risk of numerous chronic diseases, and why working the night shift — or shifts lasting 24 hours or longer without sleeping — can be so detrimental. Sleep is also intricately tied to important hormone levels, including melatonin — a potent antioxidant with powerful anticancer activity — which is...

In general, most consumers believe that over-the-counter medications are both helpful and safe. The results of one survey1 showed that as familiarity with the product grew, so did the consumers’ impression of the safety and efficacy of the product. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) warns pregnant women to avoid substances that are not required for medical reasons to support a healthy pregnancy.2 Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, ACOG, obstetricians and gynecologists from across the U.S. have...

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published February 8, 2017. In 2002, researchers discovered a cancer-causing and potentially neurotoxic chemical called acrylamide is created when carbohydrate-rich foods are cooked at high temperatures, whether baked, fried, roasted, grilled or toasted. Acrylamide is the byproduct of a chemical reaction between sugars and the amino acid asparagine, which occurs at high temperatures. While the chemical can form in many foods cooked or processed at temperatures above 250 degrees...

The interview features Aleena Kanner, one of the leading postural experts in the U.S. She’s a certified Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) practitioner. What is postural restoration? The following explanation is given on the PRI website:1 “The human body is not symmetrical.

They have different responsibilities, function, position and demands on them. This system asymmetry is a...

The video above, “CO2, The Gas of Life,” features a lecture given at the Summit Old Guard Meeting in New Jersey, October 3, 2023, by William Happer, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of physics at Princeton University and former scientific adviser to the Bush and Trump administrations. The topic: carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly mischaracterized as a harmful waste product of respiration and a pollutant that is disrupting the planetary climate. As explained by Happer in this lecture, CO2 is actually an essential gas necessary for life. Moreover, its...

Nitrogen 2000 is an important 45-minute documentary on the Dutch farmer struggle of 2019-23. Dutch cattle farmers own 70% of Holland, but in 2019, the government began pushing for a forced buy out of 50% of their land,1 claiming it’s necessary to reduce pollution. But for the approximately 60,000 farmers in the Netherlands,2 agriculture is a way of life, often passed down through the generations — one that’s necessary to supply food for the population. According to a press release for the film, “Dutch farmers produce the most food per hectare...
read moreHow Sun Exposure Improves Your Immune Function
Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published January 23, 2017. Mounting research confirms that sun avoidance may be at the heart of a large number of health problems. Not only does your body produce vitamin D in response to sun exposure on bare skin, but sunlight also produces a number of other health benefits that are unrelated to vitamin D production. In fact, humans appear to have a lot in common with plants in this regard — we both need direct sun exposure in order to optimally thrive, and while artificial...
read moreStudy: The Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Ginger
Roughly 5,000 years ago, ginger (Zingiber officinale) was a luxury item.1 The root can be eaten fresh, pickled, preserved, candied, powdered or ground and researchers have now found the mechanism through which ginger helps reduce the symptoms of autoimmune diseases.2 Ginger is from the same family as cardamom and turmeric and is indigenous to tropical Asia. However, since ginger does not grow in the wild, the exact origins are unclear. It has been used medicinally and in food for at least 5,000 years.3 When the Roman Empire fell, the ginger...
