Fortunately, not all research concludes that the best cure is always found at the business end of a hypodermic needle. In a nice counter to that enraging vaccination story, there’s a new study out about a simple, non-medical, and darn tasty solution for children’s coughs: a teaspoon of honey.

Mumps The Word
As you know, I’m not exactly a fan of vaccinations. At best, they’re unnecessary. At worst, they’re downright deadly. But the fact is that the medical community (read: BIG PHARMA) has done such a bang-up job of convincing everyone that they’re an absolute necessity that in many cases, you are LEGALLY REQUIRED to be vaccinated.
What Does The “F” In “FDA” Really Stand For ?
THE FDA HAS DONE IT AGAIN!
In November, the FDA pressured the Bayer Pharmaceutical Company to halt the sale of the anti-bleeding drug Traysol after a Canadian clinical study determined that it could be linked to a higher risk of death than other drugs. But don’t for a minute believe that the FDA is as pure as the proverbial driven snow in this situation. They’re not.
The Benefits of Green Tea and Free-Range Beef
It turns out that while our quest for a clean-burning gasoline substitute may be “saving the planet,” it could also be doing some damage to our food supply. Researchers at Kansas State University have discovered that cattle fed on distiller’s grain – a byproduct of the ethanol distillation process – have a greater prevalence of E. coli 0157 in their system.
The good news is, this type of E. coli doesn’t threaten the cattle. The bad news? This is exactly the kind of E. coli that’s a health risk to humans. (Of course, this whole problem could be completely avoided if cattle were fed grass like nature intended, but that’s another story…)
A microorganism a day keeps the doctor and vet away
You’ve heard it said before that pets resemble their owners. That’s true in more ways than one. The diseases they get are all too familiar, too: heart disease, cancer, arthritis. The rise in human diseases among pets is no great mystery. They’re getting sick for the same reasons humans are: too much cooked, processed food. The difference is that you have a choice; they don’t.
Sleep And Obesity
It’s a sad and undeniable fact: we are a nation of fat people. And the most disturbing trend in our rapidly waist-expanding nation is the growing problem of childhood obesity. But are today’s kids fat because they’re lazy, or because they’re exhausted?
Health Hazards In Your Water Bottle
It’s a darn good thing your body doesn’t need those eight glasses of water a day— because it’s becoming harder and harder to drink the stuff without filling up on some other cancer-causing, heart-stopping toxin. Tap water is bad enough, and I know you’ve already heard about the negative effects of soft plastic bottles.
