Steve Jobs: His Treatment Plan, Where It Went Wrong
This Little Known Additive is Just as Dangerous as MSG
Paul Bragg, health pioneer and nutritionists said, “If it is boxed, canned, or processed in any way, don’t eat it” Great advice! It’s scary to think about but many of the labels on the food products are ambiguous and deceptive, leading you to think you’re getting a healthy food product, when in fact you’re really getting something that is detrimental to your health. Many food processing plants have found government loopholes that allow them to add toxic additives into your prepared dinner entrees and other food items.
ADHD America: Are the meds helping or hurting our kids
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Attention Deficient Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is on the increase in children in the U.S. The number of children between the ages of five and seventeen that have been reported by their parents to have ADHD or ADD has increased from 7 to 9 percent over a decade ending in 2009. What this means is that a whopping 5 million children have been diagnosed with either ADD or the hyperactive form called ADHD according to the 2010 U.S Census data.
Monsanto, Round Up and Birth Defects
According to a recent study evaluation by Earth Open Source, Round Up’s main ingredient, glyphosate is being linked to birth defects, amongst other problems, in animals. Earth Open Source reviews existing data in an open source collaboration to advance sustainable food production.
Round Up weed killer is the most widely used herbicide on the planet. With so many people spraying away it’s important to be certain this potent weed killer is safe for the plants, the animals, the users, and the entire environment. However, the latest research indicates that Round Up is far from safe for anyone or anything that is living.

With obesity tripling amongst children over the last thirty years (according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC) it’s essential to take a cold, hard – and honest - look at what we’re really doing to our bodies and that of our beloved children by what we feed them.
Top 10 Superfoods: What’s in Your Diet?
Eating healthy is one of the very best things you can do for your body and mind. The foods you choose to eat everyday determine on a daily basis how you’ll feel that day. If you put a lot of junk food in, don’t be surprised if you lack energy or get sick easily.
If you eat a variety of fresh, organic, raw foods you’ll notice you feel more energetic and even optimistic than when you ate poorly. When you eat a kaleidoscope of different whole, raw foods you’re giving your body the nutrients it needs to function and thrive. This is key for feeling good not just daily but in the long run too.
ADHD Linked to Common Pesticides
More and more children are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and also being placed on medication to treat the symptoms. We already know the extreme dangers associated with these drugs, but what about getting to the root cause of the problem? Here is a look at a recent study that links pesticides to an increased risk of ADHD.
Dangers of Ritalin
In a recent post I talked about how fish oil works even better than Ritalin for the treatment of ADHD. I realize, though, that many people will still not be convinced to take their children off these meds if they see them working. Medications will treat the symptoms of the condition, and will admittedly work faster than a natural method, but they are not taking care of the root causes. And they are changing your child’s brain long term. Seems the risks are far outweighing any perceived benefits.
Fish Oil Better Than Ritalin for ADHD
So many children (and even adults) are being diagnosed with Attention-Deficient/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) these days. And almost all of them are being prescribed dangerous, mind-altering medications like Ritalin.
But fish oil actually improves the symptoms of ADHD without any of the side effects of drugs like Ritalin and Concerta–and does it even more effectively.
