Your Blood: A User’s Manual

Our blood is our life force: It gives us oxygen, nutrients and infection-fighting agents. But it can also bring problems, like anemia and deep-vein thrombosis—issues more common in women than men. Feeling squeamish? No need. Here is everything you have to know to stanch cuts, better understand test results and keep your blood flowing freely. Problem No. 1: Anemia The lowdown: If you’ve got this blood disorder—one of the most common—you don’t possess enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your tissues. Anemia is typically caused by not having sufficient iron in your body to make red blood cells, and/or by blood loss due to heavy periods.

2014: Uh Oh: Politicians Formerly Against Medical Marijuana Now Singing Praises of Cannabidiol

Don’t sacrifice the plant for one of its healing compounds. State lawmakers who have steadfastly opposed the legalization of medical marijuana are suddenly singing the praises of cannabidiol. What gives? Lawmakers in a growing number of states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Utah, and Wisconsin, are saying no to medical cannabis but yes to cannabidiol, a naturally occurring compound in the plant. But is this new direction in the best interest of patients? Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is one of an estimated 100 unique, biologically active compounds present in the marijuana plant. First discovered in 1940 (though its specific chemical structure was not identified until 1963), CBD is the most studied cannabinoid after delta-9-THC. Like THC, the compound acts on the endogenous cannabinoid system to […] Read More

2014: 7 Foods Experts Said Were Bad For Us That Turned Out To Be Healthy

These foods have gone from being considered healthy to unhealthy to not just healthy but even essential.In the future, when we’re zipping around the biosphere on our jetpacks and eating our nutritionally complete food pellets, we won’t have to worry about what foods will kill us or which will make us live forever.

2014: 4 Police Tricks to Nab You For Pot and How You Can Beat Them

Cops have a massive incentive to bust people for pot. Here’s how to fight back. According to the ACLU, marijuana arrests account for over half of all drug arrests—and 88% of those charges are for simple possession. Because of decades-old grant programs, local precincts are showered with money from the federal government if they keep their arrest numbers high. Police have a built-in financial incentive to focus their arrests on low-level drug offenders to fatten their statistics, especially because these are some of the easiest arrests to make. This is a major reason why marijuana arrest rates have gone up in recent years, and why they make up the majority of all drug detentions nationally. If you’re a cannabis aficionado who chooses to indulge in the herb, you’re a walking dollar sign to […] Read More

2013: Monsanto’s Bt-Toxins Found To Kill Human Embryo Cells

By Christina Sarich Natural Society   Many individuals have heard it a million times, but for the uninformed, or those just looking to fuel their 2014 fire to finally defeat Monsanto and their cronies, you’ll be interested to know that Monsanto’s Bt-toxin is far from ‘safe’ as the chemical company claimed it would be when filing their papers with the FDA. New research from Canada show that BT toxins are showing up in pregnant women, and low and behold – they are killing human embryo cells. 2014 is the year of the horse, but we’re not through beating this one to death.

by Paul Levy

The boundary between inner and outer, between dreaming and waking starts to dissolve, and you begin to realize that the same dreaming mind that is dreaming your dreams at night is dreaming your life.
