Hundreds of vitamins, herbs, and supplements are being regulated into extinction across Europe coming up in April 2011. The licensing requirements are so expensive that no single company would risk the investment on one product that carries such low profit margins. This is by design and to...
One out of four kids, chronically on pharmaceutical drugs. Kids. Nature didn't make one fourth of kids sickly and chronically ill. We are causing this monstrosity. And a lot of these kids aren't even sick, they are just victims of terrific salesmen.

Psychiatrists are claiming to be able to detect “brain abnormalities associated with schizophrenia risk” from looking at an infant's brain. Despite the fact that they are using correlative measures to diagnose schizophrenia (a totally behavior-based condition), the medical community is using...
For various reasons, sometimes mothers choose to formula feed their infants. Sometimes it is because of medical reasons, sometimes it is because the doctors actually recommended it, sometimes it is out of vanity, or sometimes out of just convenience or laziness.

I'm looking for some ways to help ease the pain of severe arthritis. The VA will prescribe the normal stuff, but it kills my stomach and I just can't handle it. I know of some less than legal substances that are supposed to help, but I'm not willing to risk getting arrested to go that route. So...
I've been reading about fasting. It seems to offer quite a few health benefits. It can detoxify your body and help you defeat certain ailments. People have known the value of fasting for thousands of years. I think it has been forgotten today in our binge-eating, pill-popping society.

You may be aware that doctors are now instructed to give Gardasil to boys, even though it is a vaccine that is presented as a preventer of cervical cancer. (And boys don't have a cervix, by the way... :rolleyes:)
The idea is to supposedly protect girls (and now boys) from the Human...
Pretty disturbing to say the least. I feel sad for the pregnant mothers who only do this because they are told to by their doctor. It is not the doctor who will have to live with the effects of what come with that shot.

Time to check the cabinets, again. There's obviously something bad going on with Johnson & Johnson. These recalls are really adding up on them.

ROLAIDS® Spells Fast Relief
This is a rather interesting read (somewhat long). Here we have a woman who was a practicing vegan and blogger who's health deteriorated because of her diet. Even when faced with possibly dire consequences she was slow to accept that her diet choice was killing her. Eventually she came around...
Much evidence exists that suggests that psychiatric drugs can actually cause an escalation in violence, and may be responsible for the emergence of unprovoked mass-murder from otherwise normal people. Mass shooters and so many other people who kill their own families are nearly always on...
