What Are Humans Made Of?

The figure seems to hover around 95 percent. That’s the proportion of the universe that consists of dark matter and dark energy – entities that are only dimly and indirectly perceived by scientific apparatus. This fact has gotten wide attention lately, but one implication has gone unnoticed: if this is the case for the physical universe, it must also be the case for our own bodies. Therefore 95 percent of your body is made up of matter and energy about which nearly nothing is known. This makes the ancient dictum “Know thyself” somewhat harder to satisfy than one might have thought. What, then, is the body made of? It is a question that conventional thought cannot answer and for the most part cannot contemplate. This […] Read More

Top 5 kidney Cancer Alternative Treatments

Supporting your immune system is so important and so vital, regardless of which type of cancer you have.

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

Science Finally Proves Meridians Exist

The healing traditions from China, India, Japan and Tibet, as well as other countries all spoke of energy channels, meridians or nadis along which the vital energy flowed. Life was considered to be a bio-electrical and vibrational energy phenomenon and so health revolved around balancing energy through various means. Life existed because of life force and energy running through and animating the body, ensuring we can move, breathe, digest food, think and even […] Read More

Acupuncture Gives Hope For PTSD, Surgery & People In Battle

With acupuncture having roots in Chinese medicine going back over thousands of years, it seems silly to choose such a title for this article. However, in the twenty-first century it appears that the United States is only beginning to consider the many benefits that acupuncture has to offer. All too often, the mainstream view of acupuncture is that of a complementary treatment – one which holds an inferior position to chemical drugs and pharmaceutical treatments. Yet most licensed acupuncturists can attest to the fact that their craft is key to maintaining and improving health. Among the many health challenges facing Western medicine, post-traumatic stress disorder (P.T.S.D.) and chronic pain stick out as sad reminders of our failing medical system. Chronic pain is the number one cause of adult disability in […] Read More

Foods to Avoid by New Moms

When a new mother is breastfeeding, she has to remember that whatever she is eating will be passed on to her baby through the milk she is feeding her baby. Though there are no off-limit foods, there are certain foods that babies cannot tolerate usually. This is because babies have a weak digestive system and any imbalance in the food would cause havoc in the baby’s stomach. This would create gastric issues and stomach pain, which would make the baby suffer too much. If you are a new mom, then make sure you avoid these foods to avoid any kind of discomfort to the baby.
