(NaturalNews) Gone are the days when play time for kids often meant getting dirty making mud "pies", splashing in mud puddles and creeks, and climbing trees -- and when children washed their hands, mostly just before a meal, it was with plain soap and water. Modern day parents often take pride in keeping their little ones squeaky clean and as germ-free as possible, dousing them with antibacterial

(NaturalNews) Children are often plagued with ear infections and they're often taken to doctors who ply them with antibiotics. However, antibiotics destroy our healthy bacteria, which is our first line of immune defense. This leaves children, and adults, wide open for numerous health problems later in life after they've taken antibiotics. Ear infections are most often caused by a bacteria, virus,

In Praise of SeaweedThe term "seaweed" is imprecise and some people find it deprecatory: why weed, they ask, and not vegetable? I don't agree. The seaweeds are ancient and highly successful plants. They evolved between 150 and 200 million years ago. By comparison, mammals only arrived 70 millions years ago and homo sapiens has been around just 250,000 years. Seaweed actually refers to a large

Cancer is a group of acidic dis-eases characterized by the uncontrolled fermentation and degeneration of body cells. Over 10 million Americans today are cancer survivors, and about 1.4 million Americans are expected to be diagnosed each year. "Diet plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of ALL cancerous conditions, and soy protein is one of the leading anti-acid or alkalizing

(NaturalNews) Vitamin D has received a lot of attention lately. As its health implications become more and more apparent through research, it is becoming evident that a significant proportion of the population has inadequate blood levels of the vitamin.

By Dr. Ben Kim; www.drbenkim.com During my university years, I used to frustrate my parents by throwing away egg yolks and eating only the whites. No worries, I thought, as my parents just didn't know enough to realize that I was reducing my risk of heart disease by avoiding cholesterol. Looking back, I'm sure that my parents were wondering how I could so easily toss away precious egg yolks

Multiple sclerosis affects approximately 300,000 Americans. Two-thirds of those diagnosed with MS are women. Most researchers believe that MS is an autoimmune disease. Auto means "self." It is interesting to note that Eskimos and Bantus (50 million individuals living in East Africa) rarely get MS.

New research shows that herbs and spices also pack a powerful punch when it comes to antioxidants. A USDA study looked at nearly 40common herbs and spices to test their antioxidant activity. Oregano emerged as the leader of the pack. Researchers found that oregano has 3 to 20 times more antioxidant activity than the other herbs studied. In fact, it has more than many fruits and vegetables.

That yearly dread - the compression, the anxiety, the direct radiation to delicate tissue - may all be a thing of the past.

Research into cancer fighting foods has been almost non existent and even today there is not a lot of information available. The reason being, research is only carried out on something that can return a profit. Our natural foods can't be patented so even if they are found to be beneficial to a cancer sufferer, nobody will carry out research if there isn't a monetary reward to be gained.To date
