There are over 100 different types of arthritis, ranging from mild to quite severe. Arthritis commonly affects the joints as a result of inflammation. Arthritis can affect anyone at any age and nearly three out of five people living with arthritis are under the age of 65, this according to the Arthritis Society of Canada. One type of arthritis, in particular, is psoriatic arthritis. It is most commonly seen in individuals with psoriasis – a skin condition. In those cases, it is typical that psoriasis comes first, followed by psoriatic arthritis. Causes and risk factors of psoriatic arthritis Like many other forms of arthritis, psoriatic arthritis is caused when the body’s immune system attacks itself – meaning healthy cells are put under attack. This attack […] Read More

I’ve heard it so many times: “I love this city, but the traffic is killing me.” It seems like a hyperbolic statement, and yet, when people become angry, stressed, and withdrawn, you have to wonder, is it actually killing people? But I’m not even talking about commuting necessarily. It’s the sound, the pollution, the lack of scenery that also makes people complain. They dream of trees, of fresh air, and the sound of birds over beeps. City life has a lot to offer, but when people find themselves complaining more than enjoying, perhaps it’s time to take a step back. A recent study published in the Lancet, in fact, supports people’s seemingly dramatic statements about all that congestion, saying that living close to a major roadway may actually increase […] Read More
Supporting your immune system is so important and so vital, regardless of which type of cancer you have. Your body is capable of producing countless white blood cells, including macrophages and natural killer cells, which roam the body and attack not only cancer cells, but also infectious pathogens. Many types of cancer treatment, no matter how absolutely necessary they are for patient survival, deplete the immune system by having a negative effect on bone marrow. This is why you hear that cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy, both cure and cause cancer. In the sense that chemotherapy negatively impacts your immune system, this is true. In cases of kidney cancer, it is rare for doctors to recommend chemotherapy, because it simply doesn’t work very well as […] Read More
For centuries, vinegar has been used for various household and cooking purposes. It is also an ancient folk remedy, claimed to help with all sorts of health problems. The most popular vinegar in the natural health community is Apple Cider Vinegar. It is claimed to lead to all sorts of benefits, some of which are supported by science. This includes weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and improved symptoms of diabetes. Here are 6 health benefits of apple cider vinegar, that are supported by scientific research. 1. High in acetic acid, which has potent biological effects Vinegar is made in a two-step process, related to how alcohol is made (1). The first step exposes crushed apples (or apple cider) to yeast, which ferment the sugars […] Read More
There’s evidence that tripping on magic mushrooms could actually free the mind. Several studies, including two promising recent clinical trials, suggest that psilocybin – shrooms’ psychoactive ingredient – may hold the potential to help relieve severe anxiety and depression. Still, because they’re classified as Schedule 1 – meaning they have “no accepted medical use” and are illegal – it’s been pretty tough for scientists to tease out exactly what they can and can’t do. Here are a few of the ways we know shrooms can affect your brain and body: Shrooms can make you feel good. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, magic mushrooms can lead to feelings of relaxation that are similar to the effects of low doses of marijuana. Like other hallucinogenic drugs, such as […] Read More
In his 1953 book Your Feet Are Killing You, Dr. Simon J. Wikler expounded his theory that just about every medical problem one could imagine (cancer, allergies, tooth decay, etc.) was caused by shoes. His solution was to go barefoot. Ideally all the time. His theory was summarized in The Quarterly Review of Biology (Dec 1954): The title of this book is not used as an eye-catching facetious comment about a foot-sore individual. The author, described as a “Doctor of Surgical Chiropody,” uses the words in their literal sense. He believes that foot imbalance is responsible for such “degenerative diseases” as cancer, rheumatic fever, chronic fatigue, diseases of the uterus, sexual disturbances, neuroses, essential hypertension, chronic alcoholism, narcotic addiction, allergies, eyestrain, and dental caries. He […] Read More
„…This work is the first glimmer that we could live for centuries…” Scientists have come across a sensational, historical discovery, as they have managed to REVERSE the aging process opening the doors for humans to live for CENTURIES. It seems that ‘eternal life’ may have just become a real possibility after experts have discovered a way to reverse the aging process in animals. For decades, people have wondered how to stay young forever, and now, experts have managed to turn back the aging process in mice and human skin cells. In fact, the team of scientists, are so confident with their discovery that they are already claiming that using the SAME process in human beings could allow us to live FOR CENTURIES. The sensational discovery […] Read More
Treating cancer with the triad of voltage, alkalinity and oxygen is an interesting new approach because it treats the fundamental reasons cancer cells form and get aggressive. What is most interesting is that voltage, alkalinity and oxygen levels track each other. They all increase or decrease together yet we can use treatment approaches that focus on each of the triads arms. Electrons can be used to increase voltage directly. Sodium and potassium bicarbonates can increase alkalinity chemically. And oxygen can be provided in several ways and importantly with slow breathing. The most important factor in creating proper pH is increasing oxygen because no wastes or toxins can leave the body without first combining with oxygen. The more alkaline you are, the more oxygen your fluids […] Read More
This article by Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D. was originally published by Health Impact News Study: Unvaccinated Children have Less Chronic Disease and a Lower Risk of Autism than Vaccinated Children A new peer-reviewed study comparing health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, provisionally published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health and assigned a DOI number (a digital object identifier given by publishers to identify content and provide a persistent link on the internet), confirmed what parents like Sarah Carrasco have observed: that completely unvaccinated children have less chronic disease and a lower risk of autism than vaccinated children. The researchers collected health information on over 660 children from a survey conducted in 2012 of mothers of children between six and twelve years old in four states (Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oregon). According to the […] Read More
NaturalNews| Big Food is at it again, fooling us with false advertisements to make us buy food we don’t want to consume. Most of today’s consumers are increasingly health conscious and want to avoid products that contain health-damaging ingredients. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of the substances that has made a bad name for itself. This questionable sweetener – which is much cheaper than regular sugar, and extends the shelf life of processed products – has been linked to many health problems such as heart disease, obesity, dementia, diabetes, cancer and liver failure. For this reason, many consumers have begun to check food labels and steer away from foods containing HFCS. But manufacturers have come up with a sneaky way to fool their customers so […] Read More
