STORY AT-A-GLANCE Testing 294 sunscreen products revealed 78 had dangerous levels of benzene, a known carcinogen; 14 of the products with the highest levels came from popular brands like Neutrogena, Sun Bum, CVS Health and Fruit of the Earth Data from FDA-funded research showed ingredients from sunscreen products build up in the body at unhealthy levels, yet the FDA has made no move to remove the sunscreen products and continues to urge Americans to use sunscreen as they wait for another study to demonstrate harm Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are two sunscreen ingredients that are known to be safe; however, the safety does not extend to the nanosized versions It's important to remember that you need a balanced approach to sensible sun exposure, while being careful to avoid getting burned. Consider internal protection like astaxanthin, wearing clothing or using sunscreen with safe ingredients Beauty is big business. Cosmetics and personal care products benefit from s...

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation - Did you enjoy your weekend? There was a little different weather for everyone. We had some sunshine, some cold weather, some warmer weather, and some rain. Thankfully no snow! Everything is growing up so nicely and the trees are finally getting their leaves growing out so everything is looking beautiful. I know many of the ladies are getting their flowers in and hopefully no more freezes. The spring allergy season is in full bloom though and we're going through a lot of Albizia Complex for that purpose. Another great product that I have found that works very well for spring colds and lung congestion that hangs on is our product called PulMaCo. It has many interesting ingredients but one that I found that is most interesting is the fennel seed extract in it and these are great to help the body rid itself of viruses in the respiratory tract area. There are other sources, like certain pine need...
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe says most chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's disease and macular degeneration are linked to the consumption of processed seed oils Knobbe says the large consumption of omega-6 seed oil in everyday Western diets is so dangerous it is "a global human experiment ... without informed consent" Polyunsaturated fatty acids, also called PUFAs, found in vegetable oils, edible oils, seed oils, trans fat and plant oils, owe their existence to "roller mill technology," which replaced stone mill technology and removed their nutrients Many people now consume 80 grams of PUFAs a day, which amounts to 720 calories and one-third of their caloric intake Results from studies of tribal peoples and animals have demonstrated the deleterious effects of PUFAs in the diet What do heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, str...
Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation- What a glorious weekend, some of the best weather we’ve had so far this year. It’s so great to see everything greened up and growing. The temperatures were great and this week looks good too. Even the humidity has come down and it’s enjoyable to be outside. Make sure and get out and get that good vitamin D from the sunshine and breathe the fresh air. It’s also good to walk around barefoot in the grass for the grounding effect. Such a wonderful time of year and great time to work on being healthy. We are into men’s health month in June but the information we send out goes for women too. The topic of the health shop tonight is men’s cancers and top issues. Cancer, of course, is a problem with the immune system and that goes right along with this pandemic business and our need to keep the immune system worki...

Natural Health and Autoimmune Disease At Natural Health, we’re always looking for the cause of a disease process. Autoimmune disease seems to be a mystery in the medical world and the treatment for it are drugs that suppress the immune system and drugs that reduce inflammation. These may be good treatments for pain relief, but they do nothing for the cause of the problem. And actually taking these drugs makes the problem worse as the body is never able to heal itself plus their side effects. The underlying cause of autoimmune disease is a chronic degeneration of whatever organ or system is being affected. The dead tissue from this organ or system gets into the lymphatic system and the body starts to develop antibodies to fight what it thinks is an invasion of foreign protein, somewhat like the cause of food allergies with leaky gut syndrome. Once ...
The Benefits of a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet The MMT diet is a cyclical ketogenic diet , high in healthy fats and fiber, low in net carbs with a moderate amount of protein. Nutritional ketosis is the metabolic state associated with an increased production of ketones in your liver; i.e., the biological reflection of being able to burn fat, and is defined as having blood ketones in the range of 0.5 to 3.0 mmol/L. However, a key component that differentiates MMT from most other ketogenic eating plans is its emphasis on CYCLICAL ketosis. Once your body starts to burn fat for fuel, you need to switch to a cyclical ketogenic diet, as long-term continuous ketosis has some serious drawbacks that may actually undermine your health and longevity. The "metabolic magic" in the mitochondria actually occurs during the refeeding phase, not during the starvation phase. Alas, you cannot get to that magic unless you first go through the starvation phase. This is why we refer to the MMT p...
Does removing sugar from your diet starve cancer cells? New study finds surprising answers Sunday, July 22, 2018 by: Ralph Flores ( Natural News ) Cutting back on sugar may help decrease your likelihood of getting certain cancers , a recent study noted. The finding, which was part of an investigation made by researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School and the National University of Singapore , together with the Duke University School of Medicine and the Medical University of Vienna , is part of a unique approach explaining how reducing sugar can cause cancer cells to die. The paper, which was published in the online journal Science Signaling, presented a novel cell death pathway through introducing how depriving cancer cells of sugar can trigger a reaction that causes them to die. This research builds on earlier scientific literature that indicates that cancer cells that quickly multiply nee...
