Top 10 Reasons Bacon Is Actually HEALTHY For You! by Boss Hog

OK, well, the extremely biased opinions of the various "beef boards, fish factions, and chicken coalitions" have had their free reign for the last 50 years, so I think it's finally time to hear what the actual doctors have to say...

Bacon's Blood-Balancing Bounty: Several university and medical center studies have shown that including bacon as a regular, moderate part of one's diet naturally works to lower the body's blood pressure and blood sugar levels, helping to prevent and/or alleviate the effects of diabetes, as well as heart disease, stroke and heart attack.

Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Guess who is Sicker? by Celeste McGovern

It's never been done before. The first-of-its-kind study of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated American homeschooled children shows who is really ailing... and parents should be worried.

Something is wrong with America's children. They are sick - allergic, asthmatic, anxious, autoimmune, autistic, hyperactive, distracted and learning disabled. Thirty-two million American children - a full 43% of them - suffer from at least one of 20 chronic illnesses not including obesity. Across the board, once rare pediatric disorders from autism and ADD to Type 1 diabetes and Tourette's syndrome are soaring, though few studies pool the data. Compared to their parents, children today are four times more likely to have a chronic illness.

Alzheimer's Natural Treatment Options & Notable Breakthroughs

Alzheimer's is a brain disorder that can cause memory loss, dementia, and death. To combat it, try the Alzheimer's natural treatment options on this list.

Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia  that can rob people of the ability to think clearly, perform everyday tasks and ultimately, remember who they even are. Because the disease is so devastating, and since previous treatments failed to come up with a cure, I'm always on the lookout for Alzheimer's natural treatment options and Alzheimer's news, scouring the medical journals for for Alzheimer's breakthroughs. There's so much we still don't know about the human brain, but thankfully, 2016 marks a year of progress and some pretty significant Alzheimer's breakthroughs. Let me share some of them with you. There are several theories including free radical damage , an inability to use glucose properly, vitamin deficiencies or environmental toxins. This illness affects more than half of people over that age of 85 in the U.S.

10 Steps to Reversing Rheumatoid Arthritis Inflammation and Other Autoimmune Diseases

I am often asked if there is a way to deal with autoimmune disease, the most common chronic disease - the most common question being "Is there any way to deal with this without taking powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that often have serious side effects?"

Autoimmune diseases are a huge problem in this country. As a whole, autoimmune diseases affect over 80 million Americans and five percent of the population in Western countries. They include type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, Crohn's disease, and dozens of others, but they all have one thing in common: The body attacks itself. Autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis or RA, often include challenging symptoms such as pain, swelling, fatigue, and disability. At their root, one central biochemical process connects these seemingly disparate diseases: A runaway immune response, called systemic inflammation, inevitably results in your body attacking its own tissues.

Hundreds Of Millions Of Salmon Feared Dead On US West Coast

Worst Klamath chinook run on record forecast - The worst run forecast on record for the Klamath River's chinook salmon could close all salmon fishing along most of the Oregon Coast this summer...

Can You Sue Child Protective Services for Emotional Distress? by George Khoury, Esq.

If you've ever been visited by Child Protective Services, you know just how stressful and distressing it can feel. Even the best of parents can get frazzled when someone with the legal authority to take aware their kids is present.

Unfortunately, unless your civil rights are violated, you likely won't have any legal claim against Child Protective Services stemming from the agency's, or its representatives', routine actions. So, you likely won't be able to sue for emotional distress. However, when civil rights are violated, individuals can sue CPS, and these claims can be costly for cities.

The Truth About Organic Foods from China

There are articles all over the Internet right now about "fake organic" food from China. Wanting to keep you informed, I read through many of them. The problem was, they all seemed to quote other sources.

First of all, I was surprised to learn how much food the US imports from China: China is the third-largest source of food imports according to a 2009 report by the Economic Research Service (ERS). For example, 60 percent of our apple juice and over half of the garlic we use in the US is from China. The ERS claims that food safety is a critical issue with Chinese imports but that "there are no simple solutions to addressing the safety hazards since they appear to occur in many different types of foods at all links in the supply chain." Reading through the USDA article "Imports From China and Food Safety Issues" is alarming. The FDA regularly refuses shipments from China because of filth, unsafe additives, veterinary drug residues and mislabeling. Filth violations and unsafe additives are the most common violations in Chinese imports and reading what constitutes "filth" is only recommended to those with strong stomachs.

Delirium: A Surprising Side Effect of Being in the Hospital by Sandra G. Boodman

When B. Paul Turpin was admitted to a Tennessee hospital in January last year, the biggest concern was whether the 69-year-old endocrinologist would survive. But as he battled a life-threatening infection.

Researchers estimate that about 40 percent of delirium cases are preventable. Many cases are triggered by the care patients receive - especially large doses of anti-anxiety drugs and narcotics to which the elderly are sensitive - or the environments of hospitals themselves: busy, noisy, brightly lit places where sleep is constantly disrupted and staff changes frequently.

Beware: These Light Bulbs Cause Migraines, Anxiety and Even Cancer. This is What You Need To do Immediately!

Bills are "killing" us, and we try to save both energy and money for the well-being of everybody. Old-fashioned light bulbs were replaced with eco-friendly energy saving light bulbs.

If you break one of these indoors, the bulb will release 20 times the maximum allowed mercury concentration in the air. This was confirmed by a group of researchers at the Fraunhofer Wilhelm Klauditz Institute who did a study for the needs of the German's Federal Environment Agency.
