90 % Of Disease Is Caused By This Well Known Problem
Firefighter Larry Cullison knows on-the-job stress too well. Like the time he and his crew tried — but failed — to rescue a 5-year-old girl from an inferno. Or the day he watched a fireman just one step in front of him plunge to a home’s basement after the floor gave way.
State Run Food Programs Don’t Allow Organic Products
Written By: Toril Fisher The State of Michigan along with many other states, does not allow WIC mothers to purchase any organic products. See WIC Card here. The Woman, Infant and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC) is set up to help safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children up to age five who are at nutritional risks by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating and referrals to healthcare. This is one of the most successful government feeding programs with many notable successes.
Study shows Vitamin D reduces cancer risk by 60% – if you take 3 times the FDA’s recommended dose.
Most Americans and others are not taking enough vitamin D, a fact that may put them at significant risk for developing cancer, according to a landmark study conducted by Creighton University School of Medicine. The four-year, randomized study followed 1,179 healthy, postmenopausal women from rural eastern Nebraska.* Participants taking calcium, as well as a quantity of vitamin D3 nearly three times the U.S. government’s Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) for middle-age adults, showed a dramatic 60 percent or greater reduction in cancer risk than women who did not get the vitamin.
4 Ways To Avoid The “Holiday Weight Gain” Just In Time For Thanksgiving and Christmas
One of the toughest times of the year for those trying to lose weight is the holiday season. Most people will gain between 5 and 7 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Years. While the holidays are a time to rejoice, celebrate and share fond memories, it also a time for eating, eating and more eating.

How can you try to maintain your weight and heart-health during such a tempting time? I’ve come up with 4-steps to surviving the holiday hoop-la that is sure-fire success – this season and in the future ones to come.
The Formula For Health and Sickness
Written By: Dr. Wegmann Poor health is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not become unhealthy, overweight or sick overnight. Poor health is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, poor health is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every week. (i.e. fast food, ice cream, doughnuts, etc.) Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every week? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters.
Are Tanning Beds Really as Dangerous as Arsenic and Mustard Gas? (Video)
What’s Left Out is as Important as What’s Left In Many times what is not mentioned is even more important that what is — and that is certainly the case here. This investigative group cited studies documenting how UVB can damage DNA. However, they failed to EVER mention how UVB exposure is HEALTHY by stimulating the production of vitamin D, which regulates 2-3,000 genes and decreases cancers overall by 50-60 percent. So, while it is true that excessive UVB exposure will increase the risk of skin cancer and result in some loss of lives, it is even more relevant for health and longevity to understand that inappropriate avoidance of the sun will result in depressed vitamin D levels, which will result in far more deaths.
The 10 Dirtiest Foods You're Eating
At the supermarket: Look for birds labeled “free range.” Close quarters in the henhouse give bad bugs the chance to spread, as do high-volume processing operations. Free-range chickens, which are given more room to roost and are usually slaughtered in smaller numbers, present a potentially safer option. For example, Ranger chickens, a free-range brand sold in the Pacific Northwest, came up negative for Salmonella and Campylobacter in Consumers Union’s tests.
