Can Clay Stop Infections?
By Dr. Mercola In a yearlong study from Great Britain, researchers found an individual has at least one cut, ache, sprain or other minor ailment at any time; and if is not present, something will likely happen in the next three days.1 In a single year, the average Briton was found to cut themselves at least twice while shaving, get one electric shock and three paper cuts, among other minor mishaps. The data suggested each citizen would suffer 9,672 ailments over the course of a 78-year life span. One in 20 in the study admitted to having...
read moreNew Splenda Studies Confirm Its Dangers
By Dr. Mercola Sucralose (sold under the brand name Splenda) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998 as a tabletop sweetener and for use in products such as baked goods, nonalcoholic beverages, chewing gum, frozen dairy desserts, fruit juices and gelatins. It’s also permitted as a general-purpose sweetener for processed foods. (In the European Union, sucralose is known under the additive code E955.) The approval was given after the FDA supposedly reviewed more than 110 animal and human safety studies, but of...
read moreNew Report Makes Dairy Shopping Easy
By Dr. Mercola When it comes to choosing high-quality dairy, you can’t always judge a book by its cover. Many dairy cartons depict idyllic scenes of black and white cows grazing on rolling hills, when in reality the milk comes from cows raised on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Even many organic dairy brands are guilty of this type of deceit. Where your milk and other dairy products come from matters, as how the cows are raised affects the nutritional quality, not to mention the taste, of the milk. There are environmental,...
read morePreharvest Use of Glyphosate Poisons Kids’ Food
By Dr. Mercola Glyphosate-based herbicides like Roundup are the most heavily-used agricultural chemicals of all time, with 1.8 million tons being applied to U.S. fields alone since 1974. Alas, the popularity of this herbicide was built on reckless deceit, and there’s really no telling how many people around the world have paid for Monsanto’s lies with their lives. August 10, 2018, a jury ruled Monsanto must pay $289 million in damages to Dewayne Johnson,1,2,3,4,5 who developed a lethal form of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma following heavy...
read moreRaw Milk Vending Machines Flourish in Europe
By Dr. Mercola Would you love to visit a grass fed family farm where you can fill up a glass bottle with farm-fresh raw milk from a vending machine explicitly made for this purpose? In the U.K., this is not at all unusual. In fact, raw milk vending machines are becoming increasingly popular, including the one recently installed at Home Farm, a dairy farm in Hassop, England. In its first two weeks of operation, the farm owners say the machine has been a huge success and received “incredible” customer feedback. Known as the Simply Milk machine,...

read moreEating Early Dinner Aids Weight Loss and Lowers Cancer Risk
By Dr. Mercola For years, a standard dietary recommendation said to stabilize your blood sugar and insulin levels (thereby optimizing energy and maintaining a healthy weight) has been to eat three square meals a day with small snacks in between. On top of that, health experts (influenced by the food industry) maintained that processed foods fortified with RDA nutrients are just as good as, and maybe even better than, cooking from scratch. Vegetable oil in lieu of saturated animal fats, low-fat instead of full-fat, and products fortified with...

By Dr. Mercola When it comes to maintaining your health and preventing disease, the important role played by your mitochondria cannot be overstated.

Furthermore, your mitochondrial health has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. While there are a number of diet-based ways to boost and sustain these vital cellular powerhouses, the stearic acid found in grass fed beef is one of the...
read moreHow to Achieve Superior Detoxification and Health Benefits With Near-Infrared Light
By Dr. Mercola I am of the belief, as are many other experts, that near-infrared sauna is an integral component of successful detoxification. Near infrared light also has many other biological benefits. Here, I interview Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace,1 who is equally passionate about this modality, and has developed a near-infrared sauna using high-powered incandescent light bulbs. While he does not have any formal health training, he’s quite knowledgeable and can provide information I think many could benefit from. The...
read moreSpicy Chicken and Cauliflower Curry Recipe
Curry is a noteworthy dish from Indian cuisine. According to BBC Food, the word originates from the Tamil word “kari,” which means spiced sauce, and was originally a “thin, soup-like, spiced dressing served in southern India, amongst many other stew-like dressings for meat and vegetables.” Today, curry is loved and appreciated around the world, with many countries having their own version of how to cook this dish. Singaporeans, for example, mix curry in their noodles, while the Dutch add it to their ketchup to dip their fries in. In the U.S.,...

Marcus Gavius Apicius, a Roman gourmand who lived during the 1st century A.D. and enjoyed all things luxurious, coined the phrase “We eat first with our eyes.”1 Indeed, many people are drawn to food and beverages that look delicious, interesting and unique, making it much more likely that you’ll savor them.

Discover more about this “magic”...
read morePositive Opioid Tests After Eating Poppy Seeds
By Dr. Mercola Despite a growing opioid and heroin addiction problem in America, some are calling for the dissolution of pre-employment drug testing. Much of the current pre-employment testing was initiated in the 1980s when employers adopted a drug-free workplace policy under strong recommendations from the federal government.1 Some schools, hospitals and places of employment continue to require testing, which includes random, return to duty and follow-up testing.2 These tests may vary depending upon the specimen being collected, including...

By Dr. Mercola The 2018 DW Documentary, “The Mysterious World Beneath the Skin,” delves into the workings and functions of your fascia, the fibrous connective tissue found throughout your body. Remarkably, this thin layer of tissue accounts for about 20 percent of your body mass. As explained by Dr. Jerry Tennant in his book, “Healing Is Voltage: The Handbook,” your muscles are stacked one on top of the other in a specific order (much like batteries in a flashlight) to form a power pack.
