The threat of radiation is constant and growing; too much radiation from medical testing and other sources is increasingly becoming a concern for many individuals around the world. The average child will receive more than seven radiation emitting scans for medical procedure by age 18, not to mention all of the background radiation emitted from cell phones, as well as other various electronic devices.

With the advent of the TSA body scanners, using deadly terahertz radiation only adds to the controversy. An array of DNA destroying and cancer causing devices pervade our natural lives.

A recent study conducted using THz radiation found that the radiation’s effects on genetic material are so devastating that they can actually destroy it. THz radiation effectively unzips the double helix strands, creating anomalies that would be detrimental to gene expression and replication. The report concludes by saying that TSA scanners are not only a gross invasion of privacy, but are also producing long term effects on human health that ultimately shorten the lifespan of those who are unfortunate enough to be affected by them.

Add this to the constant exposure from cell phones, cell phone towers, and other forms of radiation including x-rays from medical procedures, and you have a mega-radiation dose over time. Radiation is indeed harmful; there’s a reason why doctors leave the room after giving patients undergoing radiation a heavy lead coat.

The pervasive nature of this threat has even prompted the FDA to issue guidelines concerning radiation exposure and safety. This report notes of a proposal to create less dangerous scanners and technology in an attempt to mitigate the damage done, espically to younger individuals.

The fact that they would propose taking action shows that they know the effect of radiation is a real threat and causing damage daily. Taking this into account, you should also be aware of the dangers and necessity to protect yourself and others.

Fluoride still has its place in many municipal water supplies and dental products throughout this country – at least that’s what the CDC thinks. The CDC calls public fluoridation one of the foremost health achievements of the 20^th century, and yet fluoride is a deadly substance that has been pushed using propaganda.

The main ingredient in rat poison and many pesticides, fluoride is a known toxic substance. It is documented as being used by Nazis as sarin nerve gas, as well as having the ability to mitigate aggression and dissent in prisoners. Interestingly, fluoride is also the main ingredient in Prozac, producing a similar lobotomizing effect on those who use it.

If this wasn’t enough, fluoride consumption has also been linked to various types of cancer and health defects, even being called the #1 cause of death.

This chemical byproduct was given its place in municipal water supplies in the midst of the 20^th century, and has been featured more and more in dental practice as well as home care dental products.

The premise of municipal fluoridation is to diminish tooth decay in populations, but fluoride has been shown to little or no impact on oral health and hygiene.

The propaganda however is strong, assuring unwitting partakers that fluoride is good for their teeth, and some dentists make it a staple of their practice to use fluoride in their procedure as a topical agent, or a supplement. For a long time, fluoride has been given to young children and adults alike, so it’s impossible to know the full extent of the damage done in this regard.

The truth is being realized though, with various townships and cities are actively calling for the removal of fluoride from their water supplies. It’s hard for fluoride propaganda to be effective when it is an obvious façade with numerous holes destroying its credibility.

While fluoride is being removed in some locations, many also have yet to take action. In addition to this, fluoride still lurks in the food supply and many dental products and some medicines like prozac. Be wary of these products, and quick to educate yourself and others on the true nature of such a substance.

Synthetic household cleaners are oftentimes full of hazardous and toxic chemicals that could be endangering the health of you and your family — particularly if you live in a ‘green’ home with very little airflow to the outside world. While some less threatening options do exist at grocery stores, especially organic cleaners, there are ways that you can utilize natural substances around your home to replace your toxic cleaners at very little or no cost.

Here are 5 innovative ways that will help you throw out your old synthetic cleaners and replace them with health-promoting substances:

1. Disinfect and Deodorize Naturally

Disinfectant chemicals are among the most widely used in homes throughout the developed world. In fear of germs and the potential ailments that ‘dirty’ countertops could bring, you may be wiping down your tables daily with antibacterial wipes and sprays. Not only does this contribute to resistant bugs that could cause serious problems for public health, but scientists are increasingly showing that some bacteria is essential to proper immunity.

Instead of harsh cleaners, use lemon juice to clean cutting boards and counter tops naturally — without developing heavily resistant ‘super’ bugs. In addition, the lemon juice can help remove unwanted stains and odors.

2. Bathroom Cleaning

Bathroom cleaners are perhaps the most toxic cleaning supplies on the market, which is especially concerning when considering that the toxic compounds will end up compiling into the small space that compromises the traditional bathroom. Instead, use a mixture of borax powder and lemon juice to clean your bathroom efficiently and naturally.

3. Removing Tarnish

Use a simple ‘paste’ made of table salt and lemon water to make copper, chrome, and brass shine once more. After applying the mixture, let it sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water and ultimately applying a gentle buffer to enhance the shine effect.

4. Natural Glass Cleaner

Whether it is a dusty vase, dirty window, or old coffee pot, lemon juice is an excellent glass cleaner. Try using one part lemon juice in ten parts water and applying to a rag or paper towel. You will be surprised how effective the solution is, and perhaps even more impressed with the lack of chemical odor that traditionally fills the house after using many toxic glass cleaners.

5. Removing Grease

Grease is often a pain to remove, even with many toxic concoctions that inhabit most cleaning supplies. As usual, the natural alternative is much more effective and inexpensive. Simply use plain water and lemon juice to remove grease on kitchen appliances, counter tops, or cookware.

Lemon juice is an excellent home cleaning substance, but it can also be used to boost your internal health. Warm water with lemon first thing in the morning is not only highly beneficial in fighting fat, but also in boosting immunity overall. Lemon presents itself as a highly useful health food item as well as a significant taste enhancer.

Weight loss surgery is often considered by obese individuals and mainstream doctors despite the serious risk and invasive nature, but researchers have revealed that a natural alternative can be utilized that may be just as effective without the surgery. The substance responsible for the extreme reduction in abdominal fat (described as ‘beer belly fat’) is known as capsaicin, which is actually the ingredient in chili peppers and other spicy food that causes the familiar ‘burning spice’ sensation.

When scientists from  Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) examined caspaicin, they were amazed to find that the ingredient can naturally lead to fat loss and fight obesity – related diseases with fewer side effects than invasive bariatric surgery options. Published in the journal Digestive Diseases and Sciences, the authors revealed that caspaicin could be a natural method of combating obesity that is nearly as effective as intensive surgeries — and with far less complications and risks.

“The reduction in visceral fat is particularly important,” said lead researcher and head of the BWH Department of Sugery Dr. Ali Tavakkoli. “High visceral fat volume is a marker of obesity and obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes. Preferentially lost visceral fat after vagal de-afferentation highlights the potential for this procedure.”

The way in which caspaicin works has to do with how it affects the nerve fibers in the body responsible for sending certain signals to the brain. The ingredient actually eliminates certain nerve fibers that take signals from the gut to the brain, while leaving intact the nerve fibers that send signals in the opposite direction (from the brain to the gut).

In addition to combating obesity, spicy foods have also been found to benefit your health in several other ways. Spicy foods could even prevent the leading cause of death (heart disease), according to powerful research from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Incorporating spicy foods into your daily diet may help not only rid your body of unwanted fat, but also boost your overall cardiovascular health and immunity.

Anthony Gucciardi will be attending the ALIVE New York health awards show as an honored guest in downtown New York City between June 29th and 30th for his work in the field of natural and alternative health. The awards show is the first of its kind, and will be honoring leading health icons like Mike Adams, Dr. Burzynski, Dr. Mercola, and Dr. Leonard Coldwell. In addition to alternative health giants, ALIVE will be attended by a number of celebrities and performing acts.

Amazingly, the event has been dubbed the ’The Academy Awards of Health & Humanities‘ and will be drawing in attendees from across the globe — both speakers and audience members alike. Held at The Town Hall in Times Square, New York, ALIVE will also feature a red carpet event and surprise celebrity guests.

The conference and awards show, which will host professional speakers on the subject of transforming your health, was created as a way of getting life-saving natural health information — the same news that we continue to cover at NaturalSociety — out to the world in a big way.

The two-day conference event starts at 8:00 AM on the 29th of June, and will present 12 total hours worth of lectures, panels, and workshops on the subject of natural health and living. A number of these informative presentations will be provided by leading industry experts. The following day, June 30th, will also contain similar sessions from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM. Then, a red carpet arrival period will begin just before the awards show at 7:30 PM.

A video announcing the event:

Awards will be given out according to votes, which are cast at the ALIVE voting website for different categories within the wellness world.  Some categories include radio, various products, and documentaries. In order to attend, you can purchase physical tickets and attend the show in New York City, or you can choose to purchase livestream tickets and view from around the globe.

NaturalSociety and Anthony Gucciardi are excited to see an awards show that is honoring real health contributors, as opposed to mainstream medical science that serves to proliferate disease rather than cure and prevent it.

New documents reveal, now unleashed worldwide to millions of listeners and viewers on The Alex Jones Show with Mike Adams of NaturalNews, that Monsanto’s genetically modified crops may have actually been planted before USDA approval in 2005. In this exclusive interview, Mike and Anthony discuss the new findings and their implications on giant agriculture and the food industry as a whole.

The letter, sourced from Cal/West Seeds company provides direct evidence that contamination was withheld, and the USDA turned a blind eye to proof of contamination in 2005 despite being completely informed of the startling information.

The letter directly states to the USDA:

We first discovered the unintended presence of the Roundup Ready gene in our conventional alfalfa seeds in 2005. It was identified in one of our foundation seed production lots grown in California. We tested the foundation seed lot priot to shipping it to a producer who intended to plant it for organic seed production.

Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that the contamination may be spreading into the organic seed sector. Genetically modified alfalfa, which is notoriously responsible for widespread contamination among neighboring farms, was also confirmed in the same leaked letter to be present in ‘organic’ seed that was destined to be shipped to organic farms. The authors state:

We detected the presence of the … Roundup Ready gene in both our foundation seed and certified seed prior to deregulation.

Imagine if the TSA had found a passenger carrying a bomb in the airport. Not only would they put the airport on lockdown mode, but they would inspect each and every passenger and launch a full scale investigation. The letter reveals that upon testing, it was found that modified alfalfa has infiltrated the organic seed yet the USDA has done nothing. Instead of a passenger carrying an explosive, this time it is a genetic timebomb that is still ticking!

The ‘information period’ regarding the corruption of Monsanto is over. It is now time to take serious action and explain to your neighbor why buying high quality organic foods free of GMOs is the absolute best way to defeat Monsanto. Just like every other corporation, they will fall to consumer demands and a serious lack of customer interest.

Could it be that cancer rates are so rampant because people are simply not eating the right foods? While there are many factors that play into the development of cancer, diet and smoking habits make up nearly 60 percent of cancer cases. The good news is that with dietary and lifestyle changes, cancer rates can drop dramatically. One of the easiest ways to protect yourself against cancer is to consume many cancer fighting foods – here are 4 of them you should never forget about.

Cancer Fighting Foods – Turmeric (Curcumin)

Among the most currently researched of cancer fighting foods, turmeric has repeatedly been shown to be an effective cancer-fighter and even block cancer growth. Previously found to reduce tumors by an astounding 81%, the naturally occurring compound found in turmeric, curcumin, exhibits numerous anti-cancer properties. Researchers at UCLA found that curcumin is the component harnessing the ability to actually block cancer growth. Not surprisingly, the cancer-fighting ability that turmeric possesses makes up only a single facet of the many benefits of turmeric.

Papaya Leaf Extract

A study conducted by University of Florida researchers Dr. Nam Dang and colleagues in Japan has documented papaya’s powerful anticancer properties and impact against numerous lab-grown tumors – and without the negative consequences of chemotherapy. The researchers used papaya leaf extract for the study conduction, with the anticancer effects being even stronger with a larger dose of the extract. What’s more, the extract can be taken for a long time without nasty side-effects.

Another study also shows how papaya leaf extract is able to fight various cancers including cervix, breast, liver, lung, and pacreatic while aiding the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems.

Ginger

Adding another to the list of cancer fighting foods, ginger, a cousin spice of super anti-cancer substance turmeric, is known for its ability to shrink tumors. The subject of one study based out of Georgia State University, whole ginger extract was revealed to shrink prostate tumor size by 56% in mice. The anti-cancer properties were observed in addition to ginger’s role in reducing inflammation as well as being a rich source of life-enhancing antioxidants. You definitely won’t want to disregard the health benefits of ginger.

Garlic

For centuries, the benefits of garlic have been experienced by many cultures for the treatment and prevention of disease; garlic’s status as one of the cancer fighting foods is perhaps one of the most notorious. Scientists believe that the anti-cancer properties may be due to the production of something known as hydrogen sulfide. Also known to protect the heart, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that damage to the heart muscle as a result of heart attack is halted by directly injecting hydrogen sulfide into mice. Researchers believe that the production of hydrogen sulfide is responsible for garlic’s ability to prevent various cancers including, prostate, breast, and colon cancer.

Beating cancer with nutrition is possible, you simply must recognize which foods to consume and which foods not to consume.

Monsanto has recently been noted as one of the key power players in the welfare of people across the country, continually extending their influence to the more remote parts of the world as well. Monsanto has also been engineering extensively genetically modified crops for the past several decades, and now finally has a type of soybean crop that can survive sustained pesticide exposure – for maximum insect control of course.

What seems to be a positive situation is actually a mostly dangerous toxic product; made specifically to deflect the harmful effects of the pesticides and weed killers on the growing plants, the Roundup Ready crops are recognized as the root cause of disease and discontent spread upon the Argentinean mass growing plains known as the Pampas. There was a time when the Pampas were littered with small farms, but ever since Monsanto hit the scene, the Pampas have been a major GMO growing operation.

The genetically engineered crops’ effect on the population has been simply terrible. The crop itself is not the only problem, the crops are sprayed on a regular basis with gallons of pesticides and weed killers, which has taken the toll on the locals. They consume much of the crops themselves, either by exports or to be consumed themselves – the soybean crop accounts for a very large portion of income, and is also a centerpiece in the Argentine diet. Effects vary, but some people have been known to develop breasts, have a variety of birth defects, and  have been known to experience carcinogenic effects as well. The people are also becoming sterile over time. Given the rate of consumption, they will likely be completely sterile within a decade.

The studies have also proven that extended use of non-organic crops and pesticides will continuously affect the body and the core functions of the body, primarily in the reproductive areas. Glyphosate, which is in many Monsanto products and crops, has been found to have a direct correlation to the disruption of the well-being of several key systems of the body – growth hormones are immediately affected, followed by the endocrine systems and the reproductive systems on the long term. Glyphosate has been credited as being the poison that is killing the Argentine population slowly and to no avail.

Thankfully, after receiving anonymous threats, a woman from Argentina has taken action against Monsanto and pesticide spraying – successfully resulting in positive change for her community. She even won an environmental award for her activism.

This isn’t the only occurrence of mass experimentation with GMO crops and pesticides; in fact this is but one crop in one particular location of the world. Glyphosate-based crops and pesticides have been in circulation in many nations for decades.  One study conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of Glyphosate in all urine samples tested. Canola, soybeans, corn, and cotton are all a major part of the GMO crops that have been ravaging the health and well-being of the nation, even with the prior knowledge that the GMO crops were shown to be harmful to a large quantity of both people and animals alike.

Everyone knows that exercise leads to a healthy body, strong muscles, reduced stress, and weight loss. But what many people don’t consider is what happens on an internal level after exercise is complete. The number of techniques or strategies which could be implemented into your workout for greater achievement is endless. Some people think that steady, long, low-intensity workouts provide the best results, but this isn’t true. Jogging is a healthy activity, and walking may even be better, but rigorous exercise has a more profound impact on an effect that occurs in your body following exercise known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption in order to take care of what’s referred to as oxygen debt.

Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption

EPOC refers to the rate of oxygen consumed in order to return to a homeostasis state and ‘fix’ the body’s oxygen debt. Although a light worker does trigger EPOC, the effect is bound to be more powerful and continue for a longer period of time after a vigorous workout. After performing a low-intensity workout, the body’s demand for oxygen simply isn’t as pertinent.

To attain a higher demand for oxygen and use more oxygen in the process of a workout, a high-intensity, anaerobic exercise should be performed. For every liter of oxygen consumed, approximately 5 calories are burned, making high intensity workouts trigger a greater oxygen debt, EPOC response. Exercising hard enough to cause heavy breathing is the level to aim for.

Oxygen Debt and the Effect of EPOC

In addition to returning to a homeostasis state, the body releases energy at a higher rate. During this time period, the body begins to restore itself.

• Replenishing it’s Energy Resources – Your body needs to replenish it’s energy, especially immediate sources of energy. To do this, your body taps into what’s known as the phosphagen system and restores the creatine phosphate and ATP.  In addition, lactic acid is being reconverted to glucose, and muscle glycogen levels are being restored during this process.

• Re-oxygenating the Blood & Renewing Circulatory Hormones - Energy is expended in order to re-oxygenate the blood for excess oxygen use. In addition, circulatory hormones which become elevated after exercise return to normal levels.

• Decrease in Temperature – Energy is expended in an attempt to go back to normal body temperature.

• Rebound to Normal Heart Rate – In an attempt to return to a normal heart and breathing rate, the body expends energy at an increased level.

When is oxygen debt mostly experienced?

Research suggests that maximal EPOC response is generated through the following list with 1 being the most effective method and 3 being the least effective method. In terms of EPOC response, the amount of elevation of oxygen consumption and the lasting effects are based on the length and intensity of the workout. Here are ways to ignite higher EPOC response.

1. Highly intense resistance workouts
2. Highly intense cardiovascular workouts
3. Highly intense cardiovascular workouts revolving around interval training

High-intensity interval training, or HIIT, is one  intense interval training workout proven to stimulate greater EPOC response.

There are certain aerobic exercises such as cycling that may bring forth a lesser magnitude (amount of increased oxygen consumption) and duration (length of increased oxygen consumption) of EPOC than heavy weight training based on research conducted.

If you’re looking to break through weight loss plateaus, then opting for a glycemic index diet is the way to go. Also known as G.I. diet, this diet is simple and straightforward, no need to count calories or remove entire food groups from your kitchen; all you need is a working knowledge of this diet and a little bit of consistent practice.  After that, you can utilize the technique to lose the extra pounds and keep them off for good.

Without further ado, here are some glycemic index diet practical tips and information:

What is the Glycemic Index?

The glycemic index is a tool that helps you measure how the different types of food affect blood sugar levels.  Foods are ranked from 1 to 100 on the glycemic index. The higher the ranking, the higher your blood sugar levels will be after consuming such foods. And elevated blood sugar levels are a sign of trouble, leading to mood swings, overeating, weight gain and a myriad of other health troubles such diabetes and obesity.

Therefore, a G.I. diet is based on opting for foods ranking low on the glycemic index and steering clear away from higher ranking food items. With the G.I. nutritional regimentation, expect to lose more weight, have more energy, improve your body to fat ratio, and boost your overall health and well-being levels.

Foods with higher rankings

Any food ranking above 70 on the glycemic index is a deal-breaker. These types of foods are usually full with sugar and chemicals and easily absorbed by the body, thus leading to hunger pangs and overeating.

Examples include white bread, white rice, potatoes, some fruits, watermelon, processed foods or any other food that may raise your blood sugar levels. The more processed the food, the more likely it’ll lead to a blood sugar spike.

Eat Foods with lower rankings

On the other hand, most of the foods ranking below 70 are a good deal. For better weight loss result, opt for food ranking below 55.  These types of foods are usually slowly absorbed by the body, thus leading to more balanced blood sugar levels.

Some of the main sources of low-glycemic foods are: vegetables (the more colors, the better), legumes, peanuts, raw apples, peas, lentils, and skim milk.
