Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum), commonly known as Tulsi, is considered the most sacred herb in India. This herb is known to possess potential disease-protective properties. For this reason, almost all Indian households have a Tulsi plant in their garden so that the leaves of the plant can be used to prevent and cure illnesses including cancer.
In recent years, the scientists all over the world have conducted research on this herb to know more about its anti-cancer properties. Continue reading
Fat from the fruit ‘targets leukaemia cells and stops them growing’ – raising hopes for a new drug
Canadian scientists, hope to develop a new cancer-fighting drug using fat derived from avocados
Canadian scientists, hope to develop a new cancer-fighting drug using fat derived from avocados.
They are delicious in guacamole or cut up in salads, and we’ve long been told they’re a healthy form of fat. But now, scientists believe avocados could help in the fight against cancer.
A new study has revealed fat from the creamy fruit can combat acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a rare but deadly form of the disease.
Fat molecules from avocado tackles leukaemia stem cells, which are the root of the disease, as they grow into abnormal blood cells, Canadian researchers said. Continue reading
How your body reacts to Atkins, Paleo and the 5:2 ‘is determined by your metabolism’
For years, failing to lose weight while on a diet has been put down to a simple lack of willpower.
Whether the diet is the Atkins, Dukan, 5:2, or Paleo diets have often been more successful for some would-be slimmers than others
Slimmers who fail to lose weight because it is believed their eating is ‘out of control’ may simply be getting the wrong advice on what to eat, the scientists claim.
Now researchers have discovered that our bodies are unique in their response to a wide range of everyday foods, including pizza, bread, and ice cream. Continue reading
It’s time for a gut check – literally. “It’s not as easy as one would think to figure out if your gut is healthy or not,” says Kristi King, M.P.H., RDN, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. That’s because, according to Scott Schreiber, D.C., CNS, chiropractic physician and clinical nutritionist, “Signs and symptoms of an unhealthy gut include much more than bloating, constipation or diarrhea.” Continue reading

Some hospitals and doctors overprescribe antibiotics and put patients at risk of deadly superbugs and drug-resistant bacterial infections, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released this week. The CDC studied prescribing practices at 323 hospitals in 2010 and 183 hospitals in 2011 and found that some hospitals are three times more likely to prescribe antibiotics than others. The study also found that nearly a third of prescriptions for the common antibiotic vancomycin are ordered without proper testing or are given for too long. “Antibiotics are important medications…but they also have side effects,” says Arjun Srinivasan, a medical epidemiologist for the CDC. “It’s bad for patients to be on drugs they don’t need.” Continue reading
Methinks, from the myriads of medical and/or quasi medical studies, not to mention numerous more pseudo reports, that ‘depression’ is one of the most clinically corrupted and manipulated of human experiences. For all of human history it was treated as a perfectly natural human expression which all human’s experience at times of grief or profound disorder. No doubt poor nutrition and/or lack of sleep and chronic worry may worsen depression, just as reportedly the side effects of other drugs, as well as those psychotropic conceptions allegedly meant to cure depression. After all, the brain requires as much care as the rest of the body. Continue reading
If you are a nurse in the US and refuse the flu vaccine (one the CDC has even admitted doesn’t always work, largely due to fast mutations and too slow of production) then you have to wear a face mask while on duty. Despite the fact that multiple studies have also shown that flu vaccinations are ineffective and do not offer any extra protection for hospital patients, hospitals are forcing the issue on some of their most prized employees.
Some nurses are choosing to lose their jobs instead of being forced into receiving a vaccine. Others are fighting back by suing the hospital, state, and federal governments for $100,000,000 for trying to take away their constitutional rights. Continue reading
It is that time of the year again, when the cold and flu season strikes rendering millions a slave to the sniffles.
Common sense dictates a host of things we can do to reduce our risk of catching the dreaded bug doing the rounds.
Steer clear of sick friends and relatives, take vitamin supplements, and avoid getting too run down.
But, the preventative measures do not end there.
One of the best forms of defense may in fact be lurking in the local grocery store, according to one expert. Continue reading

Mold. You may not be able to see or smell it, yet it may be growing in your home and the reason you feel sick. Mold poisoning may be impacting your health. How do you know? In this blog, I want to cover mold illness and who is susceptible. In future blogs, I’ll cover what to do about it.
Most likely your regular doctor won’t be much help. Conventional medicine doesn’t really believe that mold exposure is a problem. Plus it can be difficult to diagnose someone with mold toxicity; it can mimic many other conditions and symptoms are nonspecific. Continue reading
Men with breast cancer are getting double mastectomies, but it is helping?

More men with breast cancer are opting to get both breasts removed, even the healthy one, a new study finds.
Between 2004 and 2011, the rates of contralateral prophylactic mastectomies in men nearly doubled, with 5.6 percent of men with breast cancer undergoing the operation in 2011, compared with 3 percent in 2004, according to the study. A contralateral prophylactic mastectomy is an operation to remove a healthy, unaffected breast after a diagnosis of invasive cancer in the other breast. Continue reading
– and both cause brain damage!
The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued an apology to hundreds of millions of people late 2014, admitting that the flu shot didn’t work. The strain of virus manufactured in the vaccine did not match the actual dominant flu virus strains going around. Flu viruses mutate now so unpredictably that no scientist can accurately predict what each individual is bound to face in their environment. Continue reading

The documentary short Gluten: A Gut Feeling investigates by offering invaluable insights from assorted nutritional specialists, food scientists, and medical experts.
Why are pharmaceutical companies with a proven tainted track record, permitted by our (so called) health protection agencies to conduct their own safety studies … studies never properly verified by said agencies who’s mandate is to protect you and me? Continue reading
Someone with proper know-how on the subject is finally doing what should have been done years ago, as legal redress for the many crimes against humanity that continue to be inflicted against the American people by bought-off health officials and corrupt drug corporations.
Washington state attorney James Robert Deal, J.D., having thoroughly witnessed the incredible damage caused by FDA-approved vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs, is bravely taking the federal government to task for conspiring with drug and vaccine interests to push dangerous, unproven medical interventions on children, causing many of them to develop chronic illnesses or to die. Continue reading
Do most people who get cancer simply have bad luck? Or is cancer something they might be able to prevent? A new study suggests the latter.
The study, whose results have just been published in Nature, revealed that it is mostly environmental and external factors like smoking, drinking, diet, getting too much sun and exposure to toxic chemicals that cause cancer, rather than intrinsic factors like random cell mutations. Continue reading
