Colon Cancer Screening
submitted by: admin on 02/17/2015
Screening for colon cancer is controversial even though we are advised to have a colonoscopy at age 50 as a routine. However, in asymptomatic people the risk of perforation or GI bleeding offsets the benefits. The role of other screens such as occult blood in the stool, barium enemas, sigmoidoscopy and virtual colonoscopies is discussed.
Colon Cancer Screening, Which is Right for You?
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
There are many different tests used in colon cancer screening and it is confusing to know which one is right for you. Not everyone should do the same test. There are controversies about if it is even necessary in asymptomatic people.
Colonoscopy Screening Questioned
submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published an article saying that colonoscopy for primary screening might be going too far. I agree! The benefits, harms, and costs have not been determined. Checking the stool for ocult blood and flexible sigmoidoscopy have been shown to be of value but there's no data showing that colonoscopy gives additional...
Dangerous Viral Gene Found in Most GMO Crops
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) belatedly discovered that of the 86 GMO foods developed, 54 contain a virus called Gene 6 that has not been cleared for safety! Gene 6 may also disturb the normal health of crops, including their natural pest resistance as well as human health.
GMO crops should be banned and recalled. In the US we don't...
Genetically Engineered Food: What You Need to Know
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Genetically engineered food and animals are now widespread in supermarkets. The safety is untested and we're conducting a global experiment. Novel changes by modifying genes has advantages but also consequences too. It also has potential impacts on the environment and its ecosystems.
GMO Crops Must be Immediately Outlawed
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
GMO foods are dangerous and should be outlawed immediately. Longterm studies in mice show a high incidence of breast cancer as well as serious kidney and liver disorders. The problem with the research done by Monsanto and DuPont that has been done is that they are all relatively short term and it takes many years for disease to develop when caused...
GMO Foods are a Global Experiment
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Genetically engineered foods and animals are now widespread in supermarkets. We are swapping genes between the animal and plant kingdom with reckless abandon. Their safety is untested and we're conducting a global experiment that is risky. Novel changes created by modifying genes has advantages but also consequences. It also has potential impacts on the environment...
Having Too Few Gut Microbes is a Disease
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
A study published in the August issue of the journal, Nature, did a genetic analysis on the number of gut microbes in 292 Danes and found that 25% have up to 40% fewer gut bacteria and reduced bacterial diversity. This was accompanied by low grade inflammation, weakened immunity, an increase in the incidence of obesity!
Decreased numbers and...

Is infant formula safe?
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
Infant formula will never come remotely close to providing the nutrients found in human breast milk. Formula has the wrong fats, sugars, and proteins and is missing most nutrients found in mother's milk. Sixty percent of the calories derived from mother's milk is from fat. It is critical that mothers to be eat a healthy diet starting about...
It is no Longer Possible to Grow Organic Food?
submitted by: admin on 09/03/2019
A study from the US Geological Survey published in February of 2014 in the journal, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry documented that the herbicide, Roundup (glyphosate) was present in 75% of the air and rain samples tested in Mississippi in 2007. In fact, 37 compounds were found in either air or rain samples and 20 were detected in both!
There...
Screening for Colon Cancer (video series)
submitted by: admin on 04/08/2015
No one wants to get colon cancer and colonoscopy has been touted to be the best way to find asymptomatic precanceous and cancerous lesions of the colon that could be lifesaving. This makes logical sense, however, the United States Preventive Services Task Force in now questioning this test for healthy people who have no GI symptoms.
Sigmoidoscopy an Option for Colon Cancer Screening
submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016
The May of 2012 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine reports that sigmoidoscopy rather than colonoscopy could be used to screen for colon cancer. A clinical trial of 150,000 people was done where half had sigmoidoscopy and the other have nothing. They were followed over 12 years and over that interval there were 89 fewer cancer deaths and 275 more colon...
Super Natural Home with Beth Greer
submitted by: admin on 11/21/2024
We often take good health for granted until things go wrong. We need to be proactive about our lifestyle and be sure we eat food that is toxin free and be certain we are not exposed to toxic skin care products and household cleaners. Regulation of these products is inadequate. Food is also a concern and issues such as GMO, microwaved food, pesticides, and additives...

This short but profound piece, by a Wisconsin dairy farmer named Jim Goodman, is the kind of plain-spoken information we urgently need to understand the GMO debacle--one of the pillars of unsustainable agriculture. (It was first published on February 24,...
Vote Yes on Prop 37
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Dear Friends,
Please vote YES on Proposition 37. We want our food labeled if it contains GMO’s.
Monsanto, DuPont, and their supporters have pulled out all the stops in their last ditch efforts to confuse, mislead, and just about brainwash California voters.
They've raised $40 million so far, and their efforts,...
What is in a Chicken Nugget?
submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
Two scientists from Mississippi examined two chicken nuggets from two undisclosed national fast food restaurants and reported their findings in the October 2013 issue of the American Journal of Medicine. The nuggets contained 40-50% muscle, fat, blood vessels, cartilage, skin, and 38 additives that we don't need in our bodies that included trans fats, sugar,...
