[…]herbicide resistance. In the United States, there are over 155 weed species with confirmed resistance to one or more herbicides. To reduce weed resistance in the future, the EPA defined some restrictions on the amount of glyphosate to be used per acre for all of the different uses. For example, up to 8 pounds per acre may be used per year on forestry land. Farming consultant Frank Dean states “These amounts are still far too much and will impact the quality of the soil and crops.” The USA has 421,302 acres of forestry land, so there is a potential market […]
[…]of belly fat after losing weight. In this study, researchers reported that people who performed resistance or aerobic exercise for 1 year after losing weight were able to prevent abdominal fat regain, while those who did not exercise had a 25–38% increase in belly fat. Bottom Line: Inactivity may promote an increase in belly fat. Resistance and aerobic exercise may prevent abdominal fat regain after weight loss. Check out this video from Dr. Oz (my better half has been on the show) talking about what belly fat is and why we should get rid of it: 5. Low-Protein Diets Getting […]
[…]and oxidative stress, and improve your liver detoxification to prevent or reverse insulin resistance and diabetes. Choose a rich variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, plenty of omega-3 fats, coconut butter and olive oil, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Whole, real foods turn on all the right gene messages, promote a healthy metabolism, reverse insulin resistance and diabetes, and prevent aging and age-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease. 3. Get The Right Nutrients Supplements make your cells more sensitive to insulin and more effective at metabolizing sugar and fat. Combined with the right diet and lifestyle modifications, they can help […]
[…]Fat in the bloodstream—from the fat on our bodies or the fat we eat—not only causes insulin resistance, but also produces a low-grade inflammation that can contribute to heart disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fiber may also decrease insulin resistance. One of the ways it may do so is by helping to rid the body of excess estrogen. There is strong evidence for a direct role of estrogens in the cause of diabetes, and it’s been demonstrated that certain gut bacteria can produce estrogens in our colon. High-fat, low-fiber diets appear to stimulate the metabolic activity of these estrogen-producing intestinal bacteria. This is a problem […]
[…]resistant to antibiotics – even becoming stronger after being challenged with them – drug resistance and multi-drug resistance to chemoagents is the canary in the coal mine, indicating the entire paradigm, hinged as it is on patented, highly toxic chemicals, is rearing to collapse. Radiation Therapy Known To Cause Cancer & Enhance Malignancy Similarly, radiotherapy is known to induce secondary cancers, along with a wide range of serious adverse effects. A woman whose breast is irradiated is more likely to developlung cancer, for instance. But its effects may actually be far worse on the primary cancer it is being used […]
[…]found on every single McDonald’s touchscreen swabbed. RELATED STORY: Researchers discover how antibiotic power of garlic fights chronic infections Working with the school of human sciences, swabs were taken from eight McDonald’s restaurants: Oxford Circus, Birmingham, Pigeon Park, Holloway Road, Oxford Street, Kensington High Street, Seven Sisters Road, Bethnal Green and Birmingham, Ramp. All told, the following bacteria were found (not all bacteria were found at every site):1 Coliforms Staphylococcus aureus pseudomonas Enterococcus faecalis Proteus Bacillus Klebsiella Listeria Micrococcus Staphylococcus Pseudomonas E. faecalis Enterobacter Bacillus Dr. Matewele said: “We were all surprised how much gut and faecal bacteria there was on the touchscreen […]
[…]so “the dose makes the poison” mantra does not apply! Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic killing the good bacteria in your gut. Poor gut health is linked to inflammation and a whole host of diseases. As GMOs laced with glyphosate are commonly fed to farm animals, this could very well be contributing to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It binds with vital nutrients in the soil (like iron, calcium, manganese, zinc) and prevents plants for taking them up. Glyphosate is thereby making food less nutritious! Why is this weed killer in these foods? Even non-GMO and organic food! This chemical has gone so mainstream that glyphosate has infiltrated every facet of our environment […]
[…]Dr. Senanayake, “…one of the bigger factors is that animals consume a lot of antibiotics. In the US, for example, about 80 per cent of antibiotics used are used in animals not humans.” In recent years, governments, in particular the US, have tried to provide incentives for pharmaceutical companies to make new antibiotics. If that doesn’t happen, and we don’t begin to prescribe less, some estimate that by 2050 around 100 trillion dollars will be spent on antibiotic resistant bacteria and we could lose about 300 million people. We have played the antibiotic game for far too long and are now […]
[…]more repetition before the bacteria die completely. There are many natural substances that contain antibiotic properties. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt is known to suppress H. pylori without killing all the good bacteria in your stomach like commercial antibiotics do. Sulforaphane, which occurs naturally in broccoli and cauliflower has also been proposed as a treatment. If you are concerned that conventional treatments aren’t right for you, talk to your doctor about the research into alternative treatments. It’s very possible that diet changes and preventative measures, along with antibiotic and probiotic supplements could be a possible solution. Have you or […]
[…]Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (which I have), and the elderly.) RELATED STORY: This Antibiotic will RUIN you. This new information will be added to the labels and prescribing information of fluoroquinolone drugs, according to the FDA. They also stressed that they should only be used when absolutely necessary. Please be careful. High blood pressure is the main cause of aortic dissection so if you have high blood pressure, discuss this with your doctor before using fluoroquinolones. And if you are taking this class of antibiotic and feel sudden, severe, and constant pain in the stomach, chest or back, call 911 […]
[…]that drop to the ground * The use of a tetracycline antibiotic to breed the GDM could mean that antibiotic resistant bacteria can develop in their guts and spread into the environment and food chain. 2. IMPACT ON BRASSICA FARMING IN NEW YORK STATE This trial could create a problem that doesn’t exist today, with negative consequences to the vital brassica farming business and farm economy in NYS. * Diamondback moths are not a serious agronomic threat in New York, yet this trial could create a bigger problem. The permit allows that non-GM moths may be released if there aren’t […]
[…]Genes from a wild plant called stiff brome have been inserted. The process also added an antibiotic marker gene and genes giving resistance to some weedkillers.” If it sounds dangerous and unpredictable to you that would be totally understandable. While greenhouse research has shows yields up by up to 40 per cent, the field trials will need to be able to replicate those yields. And this won’t be the first GM wheat tested at the site. It took British researchers five years to develop a crop that gave off chemicals that were supposed to stop insects but the process did […]
[…]you fat — it’s the inability to burn fat that makes you fat, which may be caused by leptin resistance. Studies show women are more sensitive to leptin levels than men, and toxins can disrupt leptin signaling. Toxins are fat soluble and have an affinity for fat cells. They attach themselves to cell membranes and cause those cells to over-secrete leptin, which results in leptin resistance. These toxins also release cytokines that damage leptin receptors in your brain, and once those are damaged, weight loss and cellulite reduction are very difficult. If you’re on toxic overload, exercise may even backfire […]
[…]2005 linking heart and brain health to both CR and IF diets. Rodents on IF diets had higher resistance to heart and brain damage after heart disease or stroke episode. This is linked to “reduced oxidative damage and increased cellular resistance.” Is Intermittent Fasting Worth Trying? Preliminary studies (as well as a text more than a century old) point to the following resulting from IF: • Increased cognitive function • Weight loss/maintenance • Diabetes prevention • Cardiovascular strength Giving our bodies a chance to digest, heal, and function optimally is the goal. With proper planning, the intermittent fasting benefits could be fantastic. RELATED STORY: One of the worst intermittent fasting mistakes *Article originally appeared at The […]
[…]tie this sugar with numerous problems including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, pancreatic cancer, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). How Yacón Syrup Can Help You Lose Weight Despite those problems, high amounts prebiotics like FOS and nutrients in yacón syrup seem to override its relatively high fructose load to help you lose weight. RELATED ARTICLE: Still Struggling With Weight? Could Be This Dietary Mistake Other studies verify those benefits. Besides the aforementioned Dr. Oz-plugged one, a human study gave 48 overweight adults oligo-fructose (essentially what yacón is made up of) or a placebo (maltodextrin) for 12 weeks. While weight loss wasn’t very impressive (a little over 2 pounds, versus […]
[…]years. Most US cows are fed a daily regimen of pharmaceuticals, a practice linked directly to antibiotic resistance in humans. The Food & Drug Administration has refused to ban the practice. Of note, one of the researchers admitted to being funded by the pharmaceutical industry, naming Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, among others. Ninety-seven percent of US milk is heated and processed to the point that all probiotics are destroyed, while some pathogens remain. One probiotic found only in unpasteurized, fresh milk from free-range cows, Lactococcus lactis, became Wisconsin’s state microbe after legislators hailed its unique features which enable the development of […]

[…]are still treated with antibiotics. McDonald’s recently announced it would no longer use human antibiotics in its livestock, but as food blog Eater pointed out, the fast-food giant conveniently ignored that it would continue to use other antibiotics specific to animals, which still pose health risks. An undercover investigation last year by Mercy for Animals found that at a farm that contracts for Tyson Foods — which supplies chickens to McDonalds — “the birds were bred to grow so quickly that they became crippled by their own weight and often died from organ failure. The group also claims that the […]
[…]This double garlic and greens recipe is a delicious one. RELATED STORY: Researchers discover how antibiotic power of garlic fights chronic infections 2. Dandelion Pumpkin Seed Pesto This nutritious pesto is perfect for a simple pasta, sandwich spread or veggie dip. Because the dandelion greens have a slight bite, the toasted pumpkin seeds, lemon juice and parmesan are vital to bring balance. Here is how you make it. 3. Tempura Blossoms Fried dandelion flowers, first dipped in seasoned batter, make a tasty, attractive and novel snack or side dish. By removing all the bitter green parts, you’re left with the mild-tasting and […]
[…]of sick animals- even their own young. RELATED ARTICLE: NBC: FDA Moves to Ban Cancer-Causing Pork Antibiotic But why does that mean we shouldn’t eat them? Well, pig’s digest their food in about four hours (it takes a cow about twenty-four) and that quick digestion process leaves a lot of toxins, something cows and humans are able to shed during the digestive process, present in their bodies. Pigs also don’t have sweat glands, another detoxifying tool. So, that pork chop you might consider eating, because it’s leaner, is actually loaded with more toxins than beef and chicken. And, often times, pigs […]
