Bitter melon is one of the popular edible pod vegetable in many Asian countries. It is grown widely as a field crop as well as backyard vegetable and, in fact, is among the most bitter tasting of all culinary vegetables. The plant has lobed leaves, yellow flowers, and edible but bitter-tasting orange-yellow tropical fruit. The unripe fruit is green and cucumber-shaped with surface bumps. The fruit, leaves, seeds, seed oil, and roots are used. Continue reading

How cancer cells spread and squeeze through tiny blood vessels (video)
The spread of cancer from a tumor’s original location to other parts of the body can play a major role in whether the disease turns deadly. Many steps in this process, called metastasis, remain murky. But now scientists are gaining new insights into how cancer cells might squeeze through and even divide within narrow blood vessels while travelling in the body. They report their study using microtubular nanomembranes in the journal ACS Nano. Continue reading
Bon Appétit
Editor’s NOTE: What follows are a series of headlines, synopsis and links to a series of articles regarding the poisonous nature of that which we are expected to ‘eat.’ Notice that there is only reference to GMO – Genetically Modified Organisms – NOT Genetically Modified FOODS. It’s all designed to confuse the mind. Just because you fill your belly does not mean that you are feeding your body of the necessary nutritional foods that have been provided by nature and real farmers for years.
Bon Appétit my friends. ~ J.B.

Prescription Painkiller Crisis
Why Do Americans Consume 80 Percent Of All Prescription Painkillers?
If Americans are so happy, then why do we consume 80 percent of the entire global supply of prescription painkillers? Less than 5 percent of the world’s population lives in this country, and yet we buy four-fifths of these highly addictive drugs. In the United States today, approximately 4.7 million Americans are addicted to prescription pain relievers, and that represents about a 300 percent increase since 1999. If you personally know someone that is suffering from this addiction, then you probably already know how immensely destructive these drugs can be. Someone that was formally living a very healthy and normal life can be reduced to a total basket case within a matter of weeks. Continue reading
CDC: 4 out of 5 Americans prescribed antibiotics each year
Skyrocking rates of antibiotic prescriptions now suggest that as many as four out of five Americans may be getting antibiotics annually, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It’s is concerning officials, especially because overuse is one reason antibiotics are losing their punch and making infections harder to treat.
“It sounds high,” said Keith Rodvold, a professor of pharmacy practice at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Continue reading
Antidepressants in pregnancy tied to autism
Women who take antidepressants during pregnancy may be more likely to have children with autism, a Canadian study suggests.
The overall risk is low— less than 1 percent of the nearly 150,000 babies in the study were diagnosed with autism by age six or seven, but children of women who took antidepressants during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy were 87 percent more likely to develop autism than kids born to women who didn’t take the drugs, researchers report in JAMA Pediatrics.

How COPPER could help combat obesity
Essential nutrient ‘plays a key role in breaking down fat cells’
Publisher’s Notes: Throughout history – many people (especially people of a modern age), remember the times when gold and silver were considered ‘money’- something of REAL value. Before either metal was used to fabricate coins or ingots for barter and exchange – there was copper – the world’s oldest form of metallic money.
Then came the rich – the elite, and something new came into use ~ silver was now used to fabricate ‘silverware’ – not the utensils, which use that name today – but knives, forks and spoons (as well as serving utensils) for their medicinal value. Many people are aware of such use today with products such as Colloidal Silver and others. But what is always left out? Copper! A marvelous heat conductor in cookware (Reverware™ for example), an alternative monetary resource and something of major health benefit. ~ J.B.
- Copper could hold the key to combating obesity, new study reveals
- Establishes for the first time that the nutrient plays a role in fat metabolism
- The more copper there is in the body, the more fat is broken down
- Copper is plentiful in oysters, shellfish, leafy greens, nuts and seeds
In the quest to combat the spiraling obesity epidemic, a team of scientists believe copper may hold the key. Continue reading
While you were distracted by BREXIT…
… Monsanto’s puppets in the U.S. Senate announced a ‘compromise’ to outlaw GMO labeling laws nationwide
Call your U.S. Senator NOW and tell them you strongly oppose this “DARK ACT” GMO labeling compromise. It’s all a biotech industry scam that’s designed to outlaw meaningful GMO labeling!
While UK citizens were revolting en masse against bureaucratic rule in Europe, another cabal of prostituted lawmakers were busy plotting against American food consumers.
According to this announcement from the United States Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, committee leaders have reached a “bipartisan agriculture biotechnology compromise solution.”
What exactly is this so-called “compromise?”
The complete banning of all GMO labeling state laws across America.

Arthritis Timebomb Warning for the Under 40’s
Doctors say constant texting and gaming could ‘wear out’ your joints
Fifty years or older is usually the average age bracket for developing arthritis, but now experts say the bar has been lowered.
Hand surgeon Dr. Mark Ciaglia told FOX-5 that he is seeing more patients 40 years old and younger dealing with the painful inflammation and stiffness in their joints – and it is the 23 hours adults spend texting and the seven hours children are gaming each day that are dooming our generation to develop arthritis, warns experts.

One in FIVE cases of cancer can be prevented by eating healthy, more exercise, less booze and losing weight
One in five cases of cancers could be prevented if people followed a healthier lifestyle, experts have highlighted. Simple changes such as eating a healthier diet, and taking more exercise could be the difference between life and death.
Cancer prevention guidelines focus on lifestyle, and have been shown to consistently reduce overall cases of cancer, and deaths.
Experts say following a healthy lifestyle can ward off various forms of the disease, including breast, endometrial and colorectal cancers.
Dr. Lindsay Kohler, lead author of a new study, from the University of Arizona, said: ‘Behaviors such as poor diet choices, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption and unhealthy body weight could account for more than 20 per cent of cancer cases, and could, therefore, be prevented with lifestyle modifications.’ Continue reading
More Americans are eating a healthier diet…
More people eating wholegrains, nuts and seeds and fewer drinking sugary sodas
More Americans are eating a healthy diet, experts say, after noting an increase in consumption of wholegrains, nuts and seeds and fish and shellfish, combined with a decrease in consumption of sugary drinks
Over a 13-year period the percentage of people eating a poor diet fell from 56 per cent to 46 per cent, scientists estimate.
It comes as more people are adding wholegrains, nuts, seeds, fish and shellfish to their diets, and fewer people are indulging in sugary soda drinks. Continue reading
Dr. V.: Is Fluoride Affecting Your Health?
Beginning in the 1960’s, America’s municipal water supplies began to be supplemented with fluoride, with the supposed aim of increasing the country’s dental health. Shortly after, further fluoride supplementation in the form of ingestible lozenges, tablets and drops became available through dentists and over the counter. Although water fluoridation and the sale of over-the-counter fluoride “supplements” continues today, the growing movement to educate about the dangers of this toxic element that is linked to higher breast cancer risk among others things is gaining speed.

5 All-Natural Weed Killers Straight From Your Kitchen

Weeds — they creep up in your garden, sneak through the cracks in the sidewalk, and make it a point to grow everywhere that’s inconvenient to reach.
The easy-out, of course, is to reach for a bottle of store-bought herbicide. Readily available and modestly priced, it’s no wonder that many home gardeners choose it.
