From Ronald Hoffman, MD If you’re like many of us, this time of year can be both beautiful and vexing. Blossoms begin to adorn our trees, and our cars and patios are coated with a dusting of yellowish-green pollen. For spring allergy sufferers, that means itchy, burning red eyes; scratchy throats; sneezing; wheezing; coughing; and sinus […]
From ANH-International If anyone tried to convince you size isn’t important, let them know that sometimes it is. Especially when it comes to the size of things we consume or inject into our bodies. Remember the lipid nanoparticles used to carry mRNA ‘vaccine’ cargo into our cells? Well, it turns out that some metal compounds, like […]
The FDA has claimed the authority to remove any homeopathic medicine from the market whenever it wants to. We need to take immediate action to make sure homeopathic medicines survive. Action Alert! Last year, we explained the significance of the FDA’s new policy regarding homeopathic medicines. Technically speaking, the agency has declared that no homeopathic […]
A new rule will close a loophole that allows fraud in meat labeling. It needs our support. Action Alert! Many of us look for the “Product of USA” sticker on the meat we buy in the supermarket, but we may not be aware that, for years, the USDA has allowed meat raised outside the US […]
From Ronald Hoffman, MD For centuries, medicine has grappled with psychiatric illness, wielding a variety of techniques. Nevertheless, success has been at best marginal; a recent study of antidepressants and psychotherapy in the treatment of major depressive disorder has shown a response rate of just 24%. For schizophrenia and psychosis, the results have been even more abysmal. […]
From Joseph Mercola, DO While there are about 850 known carotenoids, most are not found in the human body and only lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin cross the blood-retina barrier to form macular pigment. Your retina is an extension of your brain, where lutein also accumulates throughout the human lifespan, hinting at its importance for both […]
The FDA has asked for the authority to implement an anti-supplement policy—we can’t let it happen. Action Alert! The agency wants to institute “mandatory product listing” for dietary supplements. This policy sounds innocuous but creates a slippery slope towards regulations that would restrict your supplement choices. This is the same policy championed by Senator Dick […]
A bill has been reintroduced that ensures we can continue to use CBD supplements to stay healthy—it needs our support. Action Alert! For a while now, we’ve been telling you about the FDA’s attack on CBD oil, a natural, safe, and non-addictive alternative to dangerous opioid drugs. The FDA upped the ante earlier this year when they released […]
From ANH-International Are we equipped for what lies ahead? My sense is we – as diverse societies across the globe – ones that have faced intense fragmentation and polarization over the last 3 years are, by and large, not well equipped. Simply put, we are not sufficiently resilient. Resilience, in this context, means nothing more […]
From Ronald Hoffman, MD Earlier this month, I covered some of the strong links between sleep and health—particularly the effects of getting too little sleep. This week, I’m providing some more sleep facts and solutions in support of Sleep Awareness Month. 1) Prescription meds don’t cut it for long-term management of sleep problems. An estimated nine million adults […]
