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

When I was a little girl, probably only about 3 or 4 years old, I had the unfortunate luck of getting bitten by a nasty spider. Thankfully, the critter wasn’t anything too awful that I had to be rushed to the hospital, but it sure wasn’t fun. But to tell you the truth, I quickly forgot all about the pain, and to this day only remember one thing: the strange home remedy my mom used, which she learned from her mom, to make the swelling go down and get me back in better spirits. It might sound strange, but I can tell you firsthand that slicing up a raw potato and wrapping an Ace bandage around the affected area really does the trick! After sleeping […] Read More
Activate your metabolism, alkalize your body, and fight inflammation with 1 essential oil trick. Ayurvedic tradition tells us to drink warm water with the juice from half a lemon first thing in the morning upon rising. This pleasantly tart beverage is a simple way to stimulate the liver and promote bile flow, which in turn aids digestion. Interestingly, lemon water also sometimes helps resolve heartburn symptoms by stimulating healthy stomach function. It also aids in balancing the body’s pH. Sadly, there is something else that warm lemon water may do, though: ruin your teeth. Lemon juice is highly acidic because of the citric acid, so over time, routine consumption of lemon juice (or any acidic food or drink) will erode your teeth enamel. (You can […] Read More
“Giving up junk food.” “Getting off the sofa.” “Quitting smoking.” These are the common, and beneficial, lifestyle changes that many people adopt when they become serious about avoiding heart disease and cancer. But, what about poor oral health? (does your doctor appreciate the danger?) I understand: making an appointment with a licensed dental hygienist just doesn’t have the same sense of urgency as seeing your cardiologist for a checkup – but, maybe it should. When it comes to preventing chronic, life-threatening diseases, maintaining good oral health may be one of the more important things you can do. Sadly, there are literally millions and millions of people that walk uninformed about how gum disease can set the stage for six serious diseases. Keep in mind, these […] Read More
Alkaline foods help in balancing the pH levels in our body thereby reducing chances of chronic diseases like diabetes, arthritis and severe heart conditions. They protect the healthy cells in our body and balance the essential mineral levels. Consuming too much acidic or processed food can create an imbalance in the pH levels leading to Acidosis. Foods rich in alkali help in balancing the mineral (like calcium, phosphate, magnesium etc.) ratio which is crucial for building bones and maintaining lean muscle mass. Alkaline food also reduces hypertension and the chances of stroke. Furthermore, our body’s immune system is strengthened and the chance of getting cancer is reduced. Here is a list of some organic foods rich in alkali which can help you maintain good health: […] Read More
There has been a lot of hub-bub about the benefits of bone broth in health circles lately. It is wise (and sane) not to immediately get on the bandwagon of every latest health fad. In the case of bone broth’s effect on the immune system, however, it is definitely worth a look. You may know that bone broth consumption has actually been around for thousands of years, but you might not know how bone broth can help specifically with cancer prevention and healing. Bone Broth Has Ancient Roots Weston A. Price spent an entire decade interviewing the world’s healthiest people. When he arrived in the Rocky Mountain Range in the far north of Canada, he wrote this about the eating habits of the native peoples […] Read More
Anecdotal evidence for cannabis as cancer treatment just keeps getting stronger. Research in human cells and animal models shows that there are four primary ways cannabis kills cancer.

Now, another study is confirming its effectiveness against inflammation in cancer patients, one of the primary markers. High levels of inflammation seem to indicate a higher risk of cancer as well as a less hopeful prognosis for healing and recovery. Inflammation impairs the immune system, plays a role in cachexia, lowers toleration of numerous cancer treatments, and generally decreases health and quality of life. Warning: Chronic inflammation is one of the primary markers of cancer The inflammatory response plays a major role in […] Read More
