Do Busy Roads Cause Brain Damage? Research Finds Shocking A Shocking Link

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 It seems like a hyperbolic statement, and yet, when people become angry, stressed, and withdrawn, you have to wonder, is it actually killing people?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

There is a ‘second brain’ in your gut — and it controls more than you might imagine

(NaturalNews) Does the human gut perform other important functions besides just digesting and assimilating our food? A new video put together by AsapSCIENCE explains in precise detail how the gut is not only multimodal when it comes to governing the metabolic functionality of our bodies, but it further acts as a type of “second brain” to regulate our hormone levels, our moods, and even the primary brain up-top in the noggin. The roughly five-minute video posted to YouTube unpacks the emerging science behind the gut’s brain, or what is more descriptively known as the enteric nervous system. This system governs the breakdown and use of food from esophagus to anus, and it also operates independently of our primary brains to keep our bodies balanced and […] Read More

Human brain hard-wired for rural tranquillity

Humans may be hard-wired to feel at peace in the countryside and confused in cities – even if they were born and raised in an urban area. According to preliminary results of a study by scientists at Exeter University, an area of the brain associated with being in a calm, meditative state lit up when people were shown pictures of rural settings. But images of urban environments resulted in a significant delay in reaction, before a part of the brain involved in processing visual complexity swung into action as the viewer tried to work out what they were seeing. The study, which used an MRI scanner to monitor brain activity, adds to a growing body of evidence that natural environments are good for humans, affecting […] Read More

Putin: Human Evolution Under Threat By Big Pharma, GMO, Vaccine

A report prepared by the Security Council (SCRF) circulating in the Kremlin today states that President Putin has issued orders that his people must be protected from GMO “food” and Western pharmaceuticals “at all costs.” The report says that President Putin believes the next stage of human evolution is currently in “grave risk” and that Western and global powers are “intentionally decelerating the process for their personal gain.” “We as a species have the choice to continue to develop our bodies and brains in a healthy upward trajectory, or we can follow the Western example of recent decades and intentionally poison our population with genetically altered food, pharmaceuticals, vaccinations, and fast food that should be classified as a dangerous, addictive drug.” “We must fight this.

Secret to indestructibility: stealing DNA

Washington (AFP) – The minuscule but nearly indestructible tardigrade gets a huge chunk of its genome from the DNA of foreign organisms, which scientists say may hold the key to its survival. Also known as water bears, or moss piglets due to their morphology, these micro animals live all across the world. They are usually 0.020 inches (0.5 millimeters) long and move very slowly and clumsily on their eight legs. These highly adaptable creatures can survive extreme temperatures. Even after being stuck in a freezer at -112 degrees Fahrenheit (-80 Celsius) for 10 years, it can start moving around again about 20 minutes after thawing. By sequencing these creatures’ genome, researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were surprised to find that 17.5 percent – […] Read More

How TV Affects Your Brain Chemistry for the Worst

Have you ever overheard an intense or heart-wrenching discussion only to find out the talkers were actually hashing out the lives of fictional TV characters? Do you ever wonder why people are so easily beguiled into trusting the talking heads? It might not be such a mystery when you find out how easy it is for TV programming — the waves it emits, the storytelling — to override basic brain function and even damage your body. Reported earlier by Truthstream Media: Back in 1969, a man named Herbert Krugman conducted a series of experiments regarding the effect of television on a person’s brainwaves. What he found was pretty startling: Krugman monitored a person through many trials and found that in less than one minute of […] Read More

The Alberta Doctor Who Claimed Tar Sands Are Connected to Cancer Was Fired

One of the Canada’s most outspoken advocates on the ties between the tar sands and adverse health effects has been dismissed from his job without notice. Earlier this month Dr. John O’Connor received a brief email informing him of his termination from the Fort Chipewyan (Fort Chip) Health Center where he was working remotely as a consultant. O’Connor started his position at Fort Chip in 2000 and early on, he started noticing abnormal amounts of rare cancers of the bile ducts among his patients. This included cholangiocarcinoma, the same type of cancer that killed O’Connor’s father a decade prior. Fort Chip is located 300 km north of the heart of Alberta’s tar sands, Fort McMurray, and O’Connor raised concerns that these rare cancers could be […] Read More

The Origins of Daylight Savings and Why it Wrecks Your Health

By Dr. Mercola For Americans, it’s that time of the year again—time to move your clocks an hour ahead; losing a precious hour of sleep in the process. For many, the time change associated with daylight savings time1 (DST) also means spending several days or even weeks feeling generally off-kilter. As reported by Prevent Disease:2 “A study, published in 2007… combined surveys from 55,000 people in central Europe with data on 50 individuals’ sleeping and wakefulness patterns for eight weeks around the shifts to and from daylight saving time. The researchers found people never fully adjust their circadian rhythms to the hour shift associated with daylight saving time (or, as it is known in Europe, summer time). Springing ahead by an hour, however, was most […] Read More

Genetic Blueprint – A Seed Plus Saliva Equals Miracle Health

What if you could place a seed under your tongue and the seed could recognize what your body is nutritionally missing? What if this same seed could provide those missing nutrients? by Yolanda Arenas, Guest writer, In5D.com yolysands@gmail.com Many people today carry around a lot of weight.  Not only do they carry the weight of their bodies, but the weight of their troubles as well.  And so much so is the fact that their ability to outweigh the extra baggage becomes a major issue when it comes to their health.  Many begin to experience physical discomforts like those accompanied by such illnesses as; Anxiety, Depression and Fibromyalgia.  An individual can experience feeling “rugged all the time” or “drained of energy” which can become somewhat troublesome […] Read More

Nature, Nurture, Neither?

Most of us are aware of (or may be part of) a family where siblings are radically different from each other, their personalities, interests, and value systems sometimes seeming to be completely opposite.  It is difficult to chalk this up to either nature or nurture because both parties couldn’t have a more common nature environment, or common nurture environment.  Having been raised in the same household for their entire lives, and being biologically from the same sets of DNA, what could possibly cause such stark differences? Psychologists and biologists have attempted to tease out the influential factors by studying criminal records, IQ, personality traits, and sexual preferences of identical twins raised together, identical twins raised apart, adoptive siblings raised together, fraternal twins, siblings, and random […] Read More
