GMOs
Disgusting that a Monsanto executive would receive this award. If you want proof to give customers or friends that by supporting Monsanto (or ignoring the problem) you’re killing yourself, it’s here. http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/monsanto-executive-receives-world-food-prize-global-leaders-outraged/

Some companies care what their customers want. Here are 400 companies that are GMO free. http://www.realfarmacy.com/400-companies-no-gmos/

If organic foods are essential if you working on curing cancer, why don’t we prevent many cancers by starting organic before you have it? http://www.naturalnews.com/038500_prevent_cancer_organic_food_GMOs.html

If nothing else makes you care….perhaps getting fat will: http://www.prevention.com/food/healthy-eating-tips/gmo-foods-linked-weight-gain

Is “natural” as good as organic? There are no standards but it sounds good. Does NOT mean there are no GMOs. http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/organic_or_natural

If GMOs still make you mad….boycott the organic companies that are part of the conglomerates that worked to defeat Prop 37, even though it hurts you http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_26620.cfm

Another GMO scare….check the resources… http://www.naturalnews.com/037867_GMO_Morgellons_disease_mysterious_fibers.html

And we eat out how often? http://www.responsibletechnology.org/buy-non-gmo/dine-out-non-gmo

 

SOY
Is eating soy safe? After reading this, you may think differently. And I used to love soy beans in salads. http://thedeliciousrevolution.com/cleanse/why-avoid-soy /

IODINE
This is an interesting article on iodine in our diet and cancer or the lack of it. Easy to supplement. http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/iodine-can-prevent-or-help-cure-breast-cancer/

PEACHES
It’s summer and fresh fruit is everywhere. For your health, think of peaches and how they do more than taste good. http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/7-awesome-health-benefits-of-peaches/

SAFFRON
Saffron is not just a spice, it’s good for weight loss. http://www.pressking.com/press-releases/Recent-Study-Shows-that-Taking-Saffron-Extract-at-the-Right-Dose-Can-Help-Dieters-Lose-Weight--061050

Saffron cures, excuse me, looks like it might help with, macular degeneration? http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/rnfirstbite/saffron---pricey-spice-and-vision-restorer/4492934

Saffron is incredible, and Lancaster, PA, is the only place in the US where it is commercially grown. And the research about saffron and Alzheimers is incredible. http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/ancient-saffron-magical-healing-powers-confirmed-science?utm_source=www.GreenMedInfo.com&utm_campaign=4f2b08a503-Greenmedinfo&utm_medium=email

MEDITATION
Meditation really helps anxiety, but until you get there try these: http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/how-to-manage-anxiety-without-drugs/

WHOLE PLANTS V DRUGS
Interesting trials, but not good enough for Big Pharma. They haven’t learned yet how a whole plant can be better than an active component. Haven’t they heard of symbiosis? http://www.naturalnews.com/041097_turmeric_rheumatoid_arthritis_curcumin.html

SUNBURN
With summer upon us, there’s no need of a sunburn…naturally. http://www.naturalnews.com/041091_sun_screen_sunburn_prevention_vitamin_A.html

ACUPUNCTURE
This is great research, acupuncture helps to arouse coma patients. http://www.healthcmi.com/acupuncturist-news-online/798-comagv20gv26

CHOCOLATE
You always knew that chocolate was a Super Food, didn’t you? http://www.naturalnews.com/041090_theobroma_cacao_phytochemicals_superfood.html

Cocoa, or chocolate is a fantastic medicine. Just make it dark and without all the additives. Just think, someday your health care provider might even prescribe it.
http://www.medicinehunter.com/cocoa-health-miracle

Just to remind you (in case you’ve forgotten) why chocolate is good for you: http://www.naturalnews.com/040913_dark_chocolate_pregnancy_happy_babies.html 

Chocolate and pistachios for heart disease? Much more pleasant than drugs. http://www.naturalnews.com/039837_pistachios_cacao_inflammation.html

It seems everyday we find wonderful benefits to eating chocolate. Stopping coughing is another: http://www.naturalnews.com/038721_chocolate_cough_cacao.html 

There are so many good references, but it’s chocolate, that’s all you have to know. http://www.naturalnews.com/037897_brain_food_chocolate_cacao.html

Think of it, you NEED that hot cocoa for your health. http://www.naturalnews.com/038575_hot_cocoa_flavonoids_health_benefits.html


BLACK SEED
Black Seed (Nigella sativa) is an incredible herb and one you can easily grow yourself. http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/black-seed-remedy-everything-death?utm_source=www.GreenMedInfo.com&utm_campaign=2121359521-Greenmedinfo&utm_medium=email

Black seed is so easy to grow and the research on it is amazing, this time on Alzheimer's. http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/could-eating-this-simple-black-seed-prevent-alzheimers-disease/

DEPRESSION
Depression seems to be a part of dealing with MS. But research shows that sun exposure and Vitamin D can make it more bearable. http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Vitamins/sunshine_makes_you_happy_0617131011.html

 

I’ve heard so much about this grain, guess I’m gonna have to get me some quinoa. http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/what-you-may-not-know-about-quinoa/

A ban on pesticides that hurt bees has passed the EU. Not all countries voted yes, but it sure beats what the US has done (nothing) http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/good-news-for-bees/

Self-massage is good, getting a massage is divine. http://www.yogahealer.com/the-benefits-of-self-massage-ayurvedic-abhyanga/

Avocados are becoming more than a food, but a super food. Here’s why you have excuse to indulge. http://www.naturalnews.com/041241_avocado_nutritional_health_superfoods.html

Walnuts are good for the brain, now research shows the little treat is good for the heart. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/263331.php

As more research comes out on Rhodiola and its benefits, it pays us to look further. Easily available in Lancaster, PA http://www.thestar.com.my/Lifestyle/Health/Alternatives/2013/07/03/Herbs-to-make-you-live-longer.aspx

Keep the loves of your life cool this summer….dogs that is: http://www.naturalnews.com/041021_pet_health_summer_heat_keeping_cool.html

Nettles are weeds if a green lawn is essential to you. But if medicine for BPH, allergies and other ailments are of more importance, check this out. http://www.superfoods-scientific-research.com/green-foods/nettle-study-results.html

Now along the way, you’ve heard of the plant Yucca…..but how much do you know about it? http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/an-herb-for-thought-yucca/

So what do you do when the store you felt was safe to buy from reveals its products include GMOs? Whole Foods is caught. http://www.naturalnews.com/037413_Whole_Foods_Monsanto_GMO.html   

In some countries 80% of health care is traditional medicine.
