The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) published a position paper on May 8, 2009 advising all physicians to caution their patients to avoid eating any genetically modified foods. No scientifically independent human safety studies have been performed on genetically modified foods. They called for a moratorium on GM’s, long term independent studies and labeling. [...]
According to a survey published in early May 2009 by the Childrens Food Campaign Lobby in Britain (CFC), some baby foods contain staggering amounts of sugar and fat. The CFC is a coalition of 300 national and local health organizations and 12,000 members of the public. They studied the nutritional contents of 107 foods marketed [...]
Swine flu is a contagious viral respiratory disease. Usually it only infects pigs but it is capable of jumping species and infecting humans. Many of the Mexicans who died this spring from the swine flu worked on or near pig farms. Once it infects one human, it can keep spreading from person to person. [...]
In tests done across the country, everyone had dozens of toxic chemicals in their blood. Many of these chemicals are from bodycare and cosmetic products. If you want to avoid them you need to read labels. Some of them are carcinogenic (cause cancer), neurotoxic (kill brain cells or alter brain chemistry), or they disrupt hormones [...]
Frozen shoulder is a very painful and debilitating condition also known as adhesive capsulitis. In order to be diagnosed as a ‘true’ case of frozen shoulder, shoulder movement will be limited and painful, and if investigated, inflammation and adhesion formation of the shoulder capsule would be detected. Frozen shoulder can also mimic conditions such as [...]

Breast cancer rates increased significantly in four Norwegian counties after women there began getting mammograms every two years. In fact, according to background information in the study, the [...]
Genetic scientists have now identified the code for all 99 known
strains of the common cold. However, this has brought them no closer to
a cure. With so many viral strains, it would be impossible for one
magic bullet remedy to work against them all.
Researchers also discovered something unexpected and alarming. Cold
viruses have the ability to swap genes [...]
The International Society for the study of Xenobiotics believe that “Xenobiotics are compounds that are foreign to an organism or are not part of its normal nutrition. Examples of Xenobiotics are compounds that include drugs, food additives, and environmental pollutants. These agents are normally eliminated from the body after metabolism to compounds that are excreted through the [...]
