High Heat Warnings

In very hot weather it is best to bring your loving animal companion indoors. Here are some tips for your dog. Supply shade.  Supply enough water. One quart of water with 1 TBSP raw apple cider vinegar helps people in hot weather and it is safe and helpful for your pets too. Plus it deters fleas and other pests.  Use a cold and wet kerchief tied loosely around their neck.  Thoroughly wet their ears, and if needed, the area under their legs.  Keep off hot concrete as it can burn their paw pads.

A Different Way of Approaching Drug Resistant TB

Image
Over many years we have covered the topic of vitamin C and its benefits in health and disease.   We have also written on the benefits of garlic for drug resistant TB and how microbiological research proved this.  As this kind of science continues to be rejected by mainstream medicine and Big PhRMA we can only hope the information presented here helps you to be able to speak out to your health care providers about broader care options.  Please use the search function to locate our earlier vitamin C posts and TB related coverage. You can find more about vitamin C on our web site, http://leaflady.org, and our Whooping Cough article on the Seattle PI web site, Natural Notes blog.  Thanks for reading.

Digital Dementia

Can't say Natural Health News did not warn you it was coming In 2004 I was teaching classes on the topic of EMF induced health risks.  Now we have more than enough proff and this is just one more fact of the problem. Some teens in South Korea exhibiting 'digital dementia' Published: June 26, 2013 at 8:51 AM SEOUL, June 26 (UPI) -- Some teens in South Korea are exhibiting what is being described as "digital dementia," or deterioration of thinking and memory, a psychiatrist says.  Psychiatrist Kim Dae-jin at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital recently diagnosed a 15-year-old boy with symptoms of early onset dementia due to intense exposure to digital technology -- television, computer, smartphone and video games -- since age 5. He could not remember the six-digit keypad code to get into his own home and his memory problems were hurting his grades in school.  "His brain's ability to transfer information to long-term memory has been impaired because of h...

The Race Is On: Beating the October 1 Deadline

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is facing a dilemma. By Wendell Potter Should he sign a bill that was intended to help many state residents get coverage for cost-effective health care that insurers often refuse to pay for? Or veto the bill because it is loaded with amendments that will benefit insurers and force many Missourians to pay far more for medical care than they do now? Senate Bill 262, introduced by Sen. Kiki Curl, D-Kansas City, would require insurers to pay the same for specialty care delivered via telemedicine as for an office visit. Similar bills have been enacted in other states, including Arizona just last month. But in Missouri, Democrats are now regretting voting for the bill because of amendments added at the last minute that will result in a financial windfall for insurance companies, agents and brokers at the expense of residents. SB 262 would enable insurers to achieve one of their top objectives: converting HMOs into high-deductible plans . ( MORE ) HM...

Keeping Watch: Health Care Topics and New Health Legislation (3)

Hepatitis B vaccine is known to shut down an infant's liver for at least two weeks following injection.  It is also known to be related to the increasing number of cases of Diabetes 1.

Keeping Watch: Health Care Topics and New Health Legislation (2)

As a longtime health care professional and whistle blower I find company in Einer's thoughts as very similar to what I have been telling people for decades. Listen Up! Another risk is ALEC and their effort to bring about Medicare privatization.   More about ALEC will continue on Natural Health News. Myths of “Health Reform”  By Lee Einer    The Democratic Party has recently launched a PR push to assure voters of the wonders of the newly enacted “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” It seems to me that the Democratic Party is at least a little concerned that this controversial legislation might be an albatross around their necks come midterm elections. They should be. I recently attended a public presentation on the Act, a presentation delivered by an aide to Sen. Jeff Bingaman, a Democrat, who sat on the HELP committee which produced this bill in the senate. Bingaman's aide made some glowing claims for the legislation, and while some were...

Keeping Watch: Health Care Topics and New Health Legislation (1)

The Laws of the Pharmaceutical Industry Posted with permission from my colleague, Dr Arthur Evagelista, formerly with the FDA. The main principles governing the pharmaceutical "business with disease" are: ..."It is not in the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry to prevent common diseases -  the maintenance and expansion of diseases is a precondition for the financial growth of this industry.." 1  The pharmaceutical industry is an investment industry < http://qualityassurance.synthasite.com/laws/law01.htm >  driven by the profits of its shareholders. Improving human health is not the driving force of this industry. 2  The pharmaceutical investment industry was artificially created and strategically developed over an entire century by the same investment groups that control the global petrochemical and chemical industries. 3 The huge profits < http://qualityassurance.synthasite.com/laws/law03.htm > of the pharmaceutical industry are based on...

Silver: A tried and true germ fighter

Today's news gives us hope that mainstream medicine is waking up to concepts that can be of great help to people yet are often not considered. Silver based medications were a main ingredient in therapy when I was in charge of a large urban burn center in the 1970s. Much use of this healer is documented in this article found on our main website - An Indepth History of Silver: Historic Perspectives on Clinical Use and Efficacy of Silver Other things that can be of great use are pure essential oils.  I know of a case in a burn center where they used silver and tea tree oil in a spray that promoted 30% faster healing to the amazement of the staff. In this LA Times article today - Silver found to increase effectiveness of antibiotics Silver, used for centuries to fight infection and other germs, when added to antibiotics in trace amounts makes the drugs as much as 1,000 times more effective in treating mice, researchers find. SOURCE It will be amazing when the natural therapies bec...

ASPARTAME. < http://guerillamedianetwork.com/>http://guerillamedianetwork.com/ A disturbing report on the fast rise of seizure disorder in children was something I heard on NPR yesterday morning. We know aspartame is in some of the vaccine solutions.  We know some of the vaccine ingredients are known to harm brain function along with causing nutrient depletion.  We know some of the seizure drugs contain aspartame.
