Anxiety — that feeling of dread, fear, worry and panic — is certainly nothing new. Hippocrates wrote about it in the fourth century BCE. As did Søren Kierkegaard in the 1860s. And Sigmund Freud addressed the disorder in 1926. However, jump to the present and we’re seeing a significant uptick — especially with youth. Pharmaceutical drugs tend to be the classic treatment for treating anxiety (as well as the biggest money maker). Cognitive therapy is a common approach as well. Those with a holistic bent often turn to meditation, yoga, massage and other relaxation techniques. Music therapy has also been used with some success. But now neuroscientists in the U.K. have zeroed in on a single song that results in a dramatic 65 percent reduction […] Read More

One of the most common issues today is the Fibromyalgia, and it is affecting from 3 to 5 million people, or to be more precise, 1 in every 5 people are dealing with it. This is a syndrome that is followed by debilitating pain in the whole body. Besides that, if you are having chronic muscle pain, that doesn’t mean you are dealing with fibromyalgia, because this issue has other symptoms too. However, if you are constantly dealing with muscle pain, you need to take a look at the list of symptoms of this issue below, and see if you have some of the other symptoms. In that case you will need to find a treatment or simply visit a specialist. Symptoms of Fibromyalgia: Digestion […] Read More
NaturalNewsBlogs| Parasites are organisms that depend on a host for survival. Parasites can have one of three relationships with their host. First there’s mutualism where both the host and the parasite benefit from the relationship. The mutualistic relationship is demonstrated in the vagina where lactobacilli are provided with a warm environment and nutrition in exchange for production of lactic acid, which protects the vagina from overproduction of yeast and colonization of other potentially harmful microbes. The second type of relationship is known as commensalism where there is no apparent harm to the host’s health. For example, there are certain types of staph present on skin that do not cause any harm to health, but are responsible for various body odors. The third type of relationship, […] Read More
Before the advent of antibiotics, syphilis was one of the most common infections in the Western World, afflicting up to 10% of the adult populations. In 1927 Julius Wagner-Jauregg was given the first and only Nobel Prize awarded to a psychiatrist. This was for work done in 1917 in which Wagner-Jauregg had exposed three neurosyphilitic patients to malaria drawn from the blood of a wounded soldier. The resulting high fever killed the syphilis bacterium, leading to their recovery! Given that there were few cures for anything in 1917, Wagner-Jauregg’s achievement was a milestone in psychiatric and medical science. There was now a reliable, albeit risky, cure for neurosyphilis. When I went to med school there was a saying: “To know syphilis is to know medicine,” […] Read More
by C. THOMAS CORRIHER Certain celebrities have been associated with specific diseases. For instance, Patrick Swayze will be associated with pancreatic cancer indefinitely. Michael J. Fox represents Parkinson’s disease, and the Marlboro Man ironically represents lung cancer. For those who do not remember, the Marlboro Men were the smoking cowboys who attempted to make filtered cigarettes seem more masculine. The commercials were a huge success, until all of the actors began dying from lung cancer. The demise of the Marlboro Men was publicized heavily by the mainstream media, because it has long been open season against tobacco products, since it became illegal for tobacco companies to fund news shows. The cause of Michael Fox’s Parkinson’s disease is always side-stepped by the media, similar to the dishonest tobacco precedent. […] Read More
Currently grains, especially wheat, are blamed for most of our digestive ills, which are rampant within a variety of autoimmune diseases, Crohn’s, IBS, and leaky gut syndromes that create other diseases. Now we have the gluten free rage, similar to the low or no fat crazes of the past. The commercial food industry “solutions” for the faulty lipid theory of obesity and heart disease, which is a “low-fat diet,” has probably created more cases of obesity and heart disease than what had previously existed. So how will this current gluten free fad pan out? Gluten free labels have become such a food industry marketing tool that it’s put on foods and beverages that have nothing to do with wheat or grains. This marketing tool seems […] Read More

The Budwig Diet is an amazing protocol that has proven to help heal cancer and it consists of two basic ingredients: flax seeds and cottage cheese. Did you hear that right? You bet! And, this diet has proven to work for more than half a century. The origins of the Budwig Diet date back to the 1950’s The Budwig Diet was created by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German biochemist, blood specialist, physicist and top cancer researcher. She was also a 7-time Nobel prize nominee and an expert on nutrition and pharmaceuticals for the German government in the 1950’s. During that decade, Dr. Budwig studied the health consequences of what we now call “trans” and hydrogenated fats and was one of the first to discover how […] Read More
