[…]through the digestive tract. It’s called allicin. RELATED STORY: Researchers discover how antibiotic power of garlic fights chronic infections Although health claims about garlic were largely anecdotal in earlier years, scientists have conducted numerous in vivo (i.e., human) studies that prove many of those benefits! What Are the Health Benefits of Garlic? At an average of 10-20 cloves per garlic bulb, this plant can go a long way to improve your health and wellbeing. Below, you’ll find 6 powerful ways how. 1) Garlic Can Combat Sickness A 12-week study published in Advances in Therapy found that, in comparison to placebo, daily consumption of a garlic supplement reduced […]
[…]lingered for six months. From the article at GenEngNews: “Early Lyme disease prior to antibiotic therapy was characterized by marked upregulation of Toll-like receptor signaling but lack of activation of the inflammatory T-cell apoptotic and B-cell developmental pathways seen in other acute infectious syndromes,” wrote the study’s authors. “Six months after completion of therapy, Lyme disease patients were found to have 31 to 60% of their pathways in common with three different immune-mediated chronic diseases. No differential gene expression signature was observed between Lyme disease patients with resolved illness to those with persistent symptoms at six months post-treatment.” Which syndromes? […]

They offer the best instant help for vomitingand can be consumed regularly as a general antibiotic that can help protect your immune system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjTMRaq8gN0 Here are 20 Health Benefits Of Onions: Fight free radicals They are natural expectorants, able to improve respiratory problems such as bronchitis and other infections Lower high cholesterol Boost heart health Relieve pain from arthritis Lower plasma glucose concentrations and supply chromium, which helps control blood glucose levels and fight diabetes Contain powerful antioxidants which help […]
[…]the books all along… The co-ops’ fear is not that the raw milk farmers would fail the antibiotic test… Most of us are organic and do not even use antibiotics period. Rather, the co-ops are afraid that if a raw milk farmer would not fill out the complex FDA required paperwork correctly when he makes a batch of raw cheese or bottles a few jugs of raw milk that his mistake would jeopardize all the rest of the farmers who make up the BTU (Bulk Tank Unit) of the milk co-op. And the Fear is Well Grounded The FDA has […]
[…]to the doctor again. This time the doctor told her it was likely a “delayed reaction” to the antibiotic but McNair wasn’t convinced. (Good for her. Mommas know what’s going on with their kids. Never be afraid or ashamed to ask for a second opinion or question the first one you got.) RELATED STORY: A genius trick to keep ticks from biting you And neither was her sister who suggested they do a tick panel on her son. “After investigating McNair’s suspicion, Mason’s doctors confirmed that young boy did, in fact, contract Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The condition is a […]
[…]transfer to the refrigerator when you like the taste. RELATED STORY: Researchers discover how antibiotic power of garlic fights chronic infections Kvass -2-3 medium organic beets diced into 1-inch cubes -1 tsp sea salt -2-3 tbsp whey (see below) -Quart-sized mason jar Scrub the beets so no dirt remains. Trim the tops, bottoms and any hairy parts, but no need to peel. Fill a quart-sized mason jar halfway with beet cubes, then add whey and salt. Fill with filtered water, cover with lid and shake to combine. Let sit in room temperature for four to seven days and transfer to […]
[…]this mechanism.” – Wilfred, Nwga RELATED STORY: Cannabis compound CBD could be used as antibiotic, researchers say Scientists have found success in treating cancer with cannabis compounds in the past. The main components of the plant, THC and CBD, have been found beneficial in the treatment of lung, blood skin, and liver cancer, among others, but until recently have been kept illegal by big money interests like the alcohol and prison industries, which benefit from the illegality of these highly medicinal compounds. Many anecdotal cases also exist of patients who believe that cannabis cured their cancer, including Cheryl Pearson who […]
[…]cause for concern. Scientists have warned us time and time again of the dangers of the overuse of antibiotics – how this practice leads to the creation of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and has an extremely detrimental effect on our vital gut flora.” Something is a foot. And we can no longer ignore what this herbicide is doing to us or our environment. Update: Cleary says it was devastating for her family and talks about the incident here. NO reason was EVER given for them forcing her out. Source: Become a Wellness […]
[…]in the regular soda group had increased levels of uric acid, which drives inflammation and insulin resistance (8). Sugars can also cause harm because they supply excess amounts of fructose. While the small amounts of fructose in fruits and vegetables are fine, getting large amounts from added sugars is a bad idea. Eating a lot of fructose has been linked to obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, cancer and chronic kidney disease (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15). Researchers have also found that fructose causes inflammation within the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels (16). High fructose intake has […]
[…]either no exercise, aerobic exercise or resistance training. After the diet, the women who did the resistance training maintained their muscle mass, metabolism and strength. The others lost weight, but also lost muscle mass and experienced a decrease in metabolism. Bottom Line: Lifting weights is important for building and retaining muscle. Higher amounts of muscle will result in a higher metabolism. 5. Stand up More Sitting too much is bad for your health. Some health commentators have even dubbed it “the new smoking.” This is partly because long periods of sitting burn fewer calories and can lead to weight gain. […]
[…]also given an extract of the fruit gained less weight and had reductions in liver fat, insulin resistance and inflammation, which were attributed in part to beneficial changes in gut bacteria. This fruit may improve certain features of metabolic syndrome, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. However, not all effects may be favorable. In a study of mice fed a high-fat, high-carb diet, the group that received dragon fruit juice had better blood sugar responses and reductions in some liver enzyme markers, while another liver enzyme marker significantly increased. In another study, diabetic rats treated with an extract from the fruit […]
[…]diabetes due to common mechanistic pathways (15). Blood sugar dysregulation, as well as insulin resistance, are also common antecedents or predisposing factors in the onset of autoimmune disease. Thus, it is promising that earthing has been shown to decrease fasting glucose among diabetics with poor glycemic control when implemented over a three-day period (8). Decreased Immune Reactivity Grounding has been proven to produce measurable changes in immune hyper-responsiveness, including changes in white blood cell counts, concentrations of inflammation-mediating cytokines, and other molecules that are involved in mounting inflammatory responses (9). Not only does grounding mitigate the cardinal signs of inflammation, including dolor (pain), calor(heat), tumor (swelling), rubor (redness), […]
[…]of noncooperation on deportation and environmental laws — part of the larger California resistance to federal intrusion,” he told L.A. Weekly. Nevertheless, the proposed California bill has been met with opposition from law enforcement. President of the California State Sheriffs’ Association, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood, expressed disapproval toward A.B. 1578. “It really is quite offensive,” he told the Los Angeles Times. Legislators want to “direct law enforcement how they want us to work.” But California has previously resisted questionable federal law. Following the controversial passage of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, a federal law that allows for the indefinite […]
[…]also reduces inflammation. Several studies show that it reduces the inflammation linked to insulin resistance, cancer, liver disease, heart disease and other disorders (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Additionally, alpha-lipoic acid may help reduce blood levels of several inflammatory markers, including IL-6 and ICAM-1. Alpha-lipoic acid has also reduced inflammatory markers in multiple studies in heart disease patients (9). However, a few studies have found no changes in these markers in people taking alpha-lipoic acid, compared to control groups (10, 11, 12). Recommended dosage: 300–600 mg daily. No issues have been reported in people taking 600 mg […]
[…]to be “an efficient nutraceutical in preventing the development of diet induced insulin resistance and associated complications possibly through its antioxidant efficacy” (Narayanankutty et al., 2016). Research supports the use of coconut oil for obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, and pathologically elevated LDL, all of which constitute risk factors for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s, the last of which is being re-conceptualized as type 3 diabetes (Fernando et al., 2015). In addition, in a prospective study of patients with Alzheimer’s, improvements in cognitive function were observed for patients administered extra virgin coconut oil, since “medium chain triglycerides are a direct […]

[…]he was supposed to continue to undergo treatment. (It’s a worse version of taking an entire antibiotic course, something experts all agree now is unnecessary.) “But when the couple refused additional chemo treatment for Noah, and failed to show up to a treatment appointment last week, child protective investigators in Hillsborough County got a court order to take Noah into custody. Authorities issued an endangered child alert Monday, and the family’s photos appeared on TV screens and websites. Within hours, police found McAdams, 28, and Bland-Ball, 22, at a Kentucky motel, and took Noah to a hospital. The parents are […]
[…]increased the animal’s risk for skin cancer. And yet another study implied it may help spread antibiotic resistance. RELATED STORY: We add it to drinking water for our teeth — but is fluoride hurting us? The FDA began to restrict some chemicals, including triclosan, in 2016 because studies found they were not safe for long-term daily use. In April, the FDA finally completely banned it for use in over-the-counter hand sanitizers. However, it remains in some products, and one of them is toothpaste. Past studies looking at triclosan in toothpaste have suggested it is safe, but clearly more research is […]
[…]muscle you have the more “insulin resistant” you become. What happens when you have insulin resistance? One of 3 things happen when you eat sugar and have insulin resistance: Ideal Scenario: Glucose is used as fuel, which helps build lean muscle and boosts your metabolism. In this scenario, glucose, your primary energy source is used to help you burn calories efficiently and eventually, burn fat. Ok Scenario: Glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver or muscles for later use as fuel. In this scenario, your happy liver holds on to your glucose for later use (i.e. exercise, or missing […]
[…]health benefits. For one, it has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity by decreasing insulin resistance at the cellular level. Studies show cinnamon can also lower blood sugar levels by up to 29%. It slows the breakdown of carbs in the digestive tract, which decreases the amount of blood sugar entering cells after a meal. Cinnamon also acts in a similar way as insulin, although at a much slower rate. An effective dose is 1–6 grams of cinnamon per day, or about 0.5–2 teaspoons. However, definitely don’t take more than that since too much cinnamon can be harmful. Bottom Line: […]
