Fully 90% of Americans are deficient in one or more key nutrients. Unfortunately, many Americans are not even meeting the government’s (flawed) recommended daily allowances of key nutrients: (Chart from Precision Nutrition, based on USDA data) One nutrient in particular to note is magnesium. Life Extension Foundation (LEF) points out in its most recent issue […]
Yet another example of the crony medical system. It is very difficult to get tested for Zika. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued strict guidelines about who will be allowed to be tested. Priority is given to pregnant women with possible exposure to Zika and people with Zika-like symptoms. But testing […]
Chronic depression can be successfully treated by taking supplemental essential amino acids. A simple blood test can check for low amino acid levels, and can suggest appropriate dosages to bring levels back to normal. Supplements of a mineral called rubidium, part of the lithium–sodium–potassium “family” of minerals, can stimulate catecholamines and further help depression. For […]
Folk medicine evolved through careful observation of the beneficial effects of certain herbs and substances on human health—and modern science frequently validates our ancestors’ observations. Snake oil contains concentrated levels of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and is a credible anti-inflammatory agent. Modern research has found that copper has significant anti-inflammatory effects, and […]
An important Finnish study found that infants who received 2,000 IU of vitamin D in the first year of life had 80% less incidence of type 1 diabetes. Other research shows that cod liver oil (which contains both omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D) also cuts the risk of type 1 diabetes. In addition, prenatal […]
They’re concerned the truth will come out about this ubiquitous poison. Action Alert! Recently we reported that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a draft report on the carcinogenic potential of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. This was in advance of a meeting in which a panel of scientists would discuss […]
“GMOs will help feed the world.” This is what we hear, in one form or another, as one of the main arguments in favor of GMO technology. It may be a good tactic, but is not a truthful one. The scientists who just won the World Food Prize have provided useful evidence that we don’t […]
Another in a long list of reasons to avoid this drug. A recent study found that boys exposed to acetaminophen (Tylenol) before birth were more likely to have symptoms of autism during childhood. This isn’t the first time that scientists have reported a connection between using this drug during pregnancy and brain and behavior abnormalities […]
The fruits and vegetables you feed your family may have been grown in re-purposed sewage filled with pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Action Alert! Hundreds of thousands of tons of sewage sludge are spread each year on America’s forests and agricultural lands. This is commonly done with great secrecy. If you want to know […]
The FDA listens to ANH-USA members and other critics in final rule. The agency, in its final rule governing the removal of medicines from a list of permitted compounded drugs, has agreed to notify interested parties in advance, as required by law. This is a victory, in that the agency’s original proposal from 2014 was […]
