VERTIGO
Vertigo is a sensation of feeling off balance. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you are spinning or that the world around you is spinning.
Causes of Vertigo
Vertigo is often caused by an inner ear problem. Some of the most common causes include:
BPPV.
These initials stand for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. BPPV occurs when tiny calcium particles (canaliths) clump up in canals of the inner ear. The inner ear sends signals to the brain about head and body movements relative to gravity. It helps you keep your balance.
BPPV can occur for no known reason and may be associated with age.
Meniere's disease.
This is an inner ear disorder thought to be caused by a buildup of fluid and changing pressure in the ear. It can cause episodes of vertigo along with ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and hearing loss.
Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis.
This is an inner ear problem usually related to infection (usually viral). The infection causes inflammation in the inner ear around nerves that are important for helping the body sense balance
Less often vertigo may be associated with:
•Head or neck injury • Brain problems such as stroke or tumor •Certain medications that cause ear damage • Migraine headaches
Symptoms of Vertigo
Vertigo is often triggered by a change in the position of your head.
People with vertigo typically describe it as feeling like they are: •Spinning •Tilting •Swaying •Unbalanced •Pulled to one direction
Other symptoms that may accompany vertigo include: •Feeling nauseated •Vomiting •Abnormal or jerking eye movements (nystagmus) • Headache • Sweating •Ringing in the ears or hearing loss
Symptoms can last a few minutes to a few hours or more and may come and go.
Treatment for Vertigo
Treatment for vertigo depends on what's causing it. In many cases, vertigo goes away without any treatment. This is because your brain is able to adapt, at least in part, to the inner ear changes, relying on other mechanisms to maintain balance.
For some, treatment is needed and may include:
Vestibular rehabilitation.
This is a type of physical therapy aimed at helping strengthen the vestibular system. The function of the vestibular system is to send signals to the brain about head and body movements relative to gravity.
Vestibular rehab may be recommended if you have recurrent bouts of vertigo. It helps train your other senses to compensate for vertigo.
Canalith repositioning maneuvers.
Guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology recommend a series of specific head and body movements for BPPV. The movements are done to move the calcium deposits out of the canal into an inner ear chamber so they can be absorbed by the body. You will likely have vertigo symptoms during the procedure as the canaliths move.
A doctor or physical therapist can guide you through the movements. The movements are safe and often effective.
Medicine.
In some cases, medication may be given to relieve symptoms such as nausea or motion sickness associated with vertigo.
If vertigo is caused by an infection or inflammation, antibiotics or steroids may reduce swelling and cure infection.
For Meniere's disease, diuretics (water pills) may be prescribed to reduce pressure from fluid buildup.
Surgery.
In a few cases, surgery may be needed for vertigo.
If vertigo is caused by a more serious underlying problem, such as a tumor or injury to the brain or neck, treatment for those problems may help to alleviate the vertigo.

This is scary. Don't leave your house. A woman I worked with a couple of years ago lost her 21 year old daughter (newly married) to the flu H1N1 version.
The flu can be spread just by breathing, new study finds Yahoo Lifestyle Korin Miller,Yahoo Lifestyle 7 hours ago
Flu season is no joke, and this year people are especially nervous about the virus. Now, there’s even more reason to be wary of the flu: It might spread more easily than people realize.
In fact, the flu may be spread just by breathing. That’s the major takeaway from a new University of Maryland study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In the study, researchers captured the flu virus in the exhaled breath of 142 people with confirmed cases of the flu while they breathed naturally, spoke, coughed, and sneezed. Then the researchers assessed the breath for infectiousness. The study participants also provided 218 nose and throat swabs and 218 30-minute samples of their breath on the first, second, and third days after they began experiencing symptoms.
The researchers found that a significant number of flu patients regularly exhaled the virus via aerosol particles that were small enough to cause a risk of airborne transmission. About 48 percent of the 23 fine aerosol samples the researchers collected when people breathed but didn’t cough had detectable levels of the flu, and most of those were infectious (i.e., they could make other people sick).
While most people tend to think that they can catch the flu only by being exposed to droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze, or by touching surfaces that have been contaminated with those droplets, the researchers found that that just isn’t the case.
Before you panic, know this: While the information is surprising to most people, it’s not to the medical community. “We knew that the flu had the capacity to do this, but this study is just showing it’s a real phenomenon,” Amesh A. Adalja, MD, a board-certified infectious disease physician and senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
The flu is spread most efficiently from person to person when people are within 3 to 6 feet of each other, William Schaffner, MD, an infectious disease specialist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “When someone with the flu breathes out, it hovers in the air, and if someone who is within range breathes it in, they are infected,” he explains.
That said, you’re still at the biggest risk of contracting the flu from coughs and sneezes or by touching infected surfaces than you are breathing it in, Sherif Beniameen Mossad, MD, an infectious disease expert at the Cleveland Clinic and professor of medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
To protect yourself during flu season, it’s not too late get a flu shot. While it’s only about 30 percent effective, “any protection is better than no protection,” Mossad says. It’s also a good idea to avoid people who are coughing and sneezing whenever possible, he adds.
Good hand hygiene is also crucial, Schaffner says, and it’s especially important to suds up well after you visit a public place with a lot of people, like a mall or school.
While the study’s findings are a little scary, you shouldn’t freak out over them. This study just helps explain why the flu is so prolific — but it doesn’t mean that the flu has suddenly mutated into a supervirus, Adalja says. “The flu is the same. This is not some new property that the flu has acquired,” he says.
My grandma's brother who was in the military died from the flu in the 1918 epidemic.

WHO: Influenza, an Unpredictable Threat Natural Flu Treatment: 9 Proven Flu Busters CURE A COLD/FLU IN 24 HOURS - THIS NATURAL REMEDY WORKS! **************************************************************** Ok, so don't laugh or get grossed out by this but many years ago as a younger man I set out to learn about alternative medicine by going to health fairs, lectures, homeopathic and naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, etc. I became a patient of many pioneers of holistic medicine including Dr. Bill McGarey who founded the A.R.E. Clinic in Phoenix Arizona with his wife Gladys (also a doctor) and he was the author of many, many books on utilizing Edgar Cayce's methods in his practice. One thing I learned from him and many of the other holistic practioners was to get rid of the flu the absolute best way to do so was by doing enemas with products that would alkalize the intestines because that is where the flu lives and spreads. Edgar Cayce recommended using a product called glycothymoline. www.cayce.egympie.com.au/healthglycothy.htm Others may recommend coffee enemas (but leave out the cream and sugar). Colonic irrigation was also recommended on occasion. Definitely STAY OFF OF SWEETS OR SUGAR FORMING FOODS WHILE SICK. DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SICK OR DYING BEFORE YOU EXPLORE THESE THINGS. FINDING AN INTEGRATIVE DOCTOR THAT IS IN YOUR HEALTH PLAN OR SEPARATELY IS A GOOD START.

www.brasandbreastcancer.org/home.htmlDid you know... Bra-free women have about the same risk of breast cancer as men, while the tighter and longer the bra is worn the higher the risk rises. Red marks or indentations in your skin means your bra is too tight. Sleeping in a bra is the worst thing you can do for your breasts. Bras also cause breasts to droop, and develop cysts and pain. Fibrocystic breast disease should be called Tight Bra Syndrome. refutes that wearing a bra causes cancer...Dr. Harness (I kid you not) Put a tourniquet on any body part of your choice and let me know what happens after a while. just saying...... Health Problems from Wearing Clothes Too Tight Celebrities and every day people alike, have been squeezing into slimming, tight clothing for centuries. Whether it was corsets in the Victorian Age or skinny jeans in modern times, the fashion to be thin has been unsurpassed. Sometimes these styles fit people well, and other times…not so well. For those individuals who need to lie down on their bed or use a hanger to zip up their pants, it might be time to rethink your fashion choice. Regardless of the fact that often, too tight clothing just doesn’t look good, wearing them might also be putting your health at risk. Here are some documented health problems from wearing clothes that are too tight: 1. Tingling Thigh Syndrome: Although rarely permanent, individuals who wear their jeans too tight can experience nerve problems called meralgia paresthetica. •How to Know: If your thigh tingles with no explanation. •What to Do: Don’t wear your extra tight jeans too often. You may want to buy a pair in the next size for more regular wear. 2. Yeast Infection: When women’s pubic areas are kept tightly under wraps, the area becomes very warm and moist. This makes it a breeding ground for bacteria and, as a result, can cause yeast infections. •How to Know: The vaginal area becomes very itchy, irritating and painful. •What to Do: Especially in the summer, avoid wearing tight pants. Wear sundresses, loose fitting and breezy pants. In the winter, wear a size up and make sure you wear underwear that breathes. 3. Back Pain: When pants are too tight, and are low riding, this can cause nerve compression in the back (similar to the thigh problem above). •How to Know: Numbness and tingling in the legs and possible stress on the back. •What to Do: Choose higher riding pants that fit more loosely. 4. Fainting: Although the corset isn’t as popular as it used to be; tight, constricting clothing can restrict our ability to fully expand our lungs…making our breathing shallow, decreasing our oxygen intake. Clothes that may fall into this category include: wedding undergarments, bustiers, and spandex. •How to Know: If you find it hard to breathe, or worst case scenario, faint, you are wearing too tight clothing. •What to Do: If you are getting married, make sure your dress is fitted properly by a professional. Also, choose undergarments that aren’t too restrictive. 5. Acid Reflux/Heartburn: Tight pressure against your stomach can increase abdominal pressure, causing acid to go back into your esophagus, resulting in heart burn and acid reflux. •How to Know: You experience a burning sensation in the stomach, chest and throat. You also may taste a bitter, acidic taste in your mouth. •What to Do: Eat smaller meals and make sure your belt and pants aren’t too tight. 6. Abdominal Pain/Constipation: Tight pants can slow down the digestive process. •How to Know: Pain in the abdomen for two to three hours after eating a meal. •What to Do: Eat smaller meals and make sure your belt and pants aren’t too tight. 7. Headaches/Blurred Vision: Wearing button down shirts that are too tight in the collar or ties that are tied too tightly can decrease proper circulation to the brain and head. •How to Know: You frequently experience headaches, blurred vision or a tingling sensation in your head. •What to Do: But shirts a neck size larger and wear your tie looser. So, next time you are tempted to buy a garment that is a bit on the tighter side, think twice. You might be putting your health at risk! Have you experienced any of these issues from your clothes? Have you adjusted your wardrobe and seen an improvement? sheerbalance.com/health-problems-from-wearing-clothes-too-tight/Related Topics: •If the Clothes Don’t Fit, Don’t Wear Them •How Do You Measure Your Health? •Detox Guide •Stop Comparing Yourself to Celebrities Sources: •http://www.canadafreepress.com/medical/gastroenterology091095.htm •http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/health/2009/05/23/2009-05-23_are_skinny_jeans_bad_for_your_health_tootight_pants_can_lead_to_tingling_thigh_s.html

We always have to keep in mind that a Documentary, after all, can tell lies and it can tell lies because it lays claim to a form of veracity which fiction doesn't. Some of the documentaries are made just to discredit some particular person, party, organization, system etc, but most of them here on TDF are non biased, without prejudice and worth watching.

Bee Venom Destroys Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Nano-particles carrying a toxin found in bee venom can destroy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while leaving the surrounding cells unharmed. The research was conducted by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The Nanoparticles carry melittin, which is the principal active component of bee venom. Melittin fuses with the HIV virus and destroys it’s protective envelope while molecular bumpers prevent the nanoparticles from harming the body’s normal cells. Bee venom is known to disrupt cellular walls and destroy tumour cells as well. Bee venom contains a potent toxin called melittin that can poke holes in the protective envelope that surrounds HIV, and other viruses. Large amounts of free melittin can cause a lot of damage. Indeed, in addition to anti-viral therapy, the paper’s senior author, Samuel A. Wickline, MD, the J. Russell Hornsby Professor of Biomedical Sciences, has shown melittin-loaded nano-particles to be effective in killing tumor cells. The new study shows that melittin loaded onto these nanoparticles does not harm normal cells. That’s because Hood added protective bumpers to the nanoparticle surface. When the nanoparticles come into contact with normal cells, which are much larger in size, the particles simply bounce off. HIV, on the other hand, is even smaller than the nanoparticle, so HIV fits between the bumpers and makes contact with the surface of the nanoparticle, where the bee toxin awaits. (1) Most anti-HIV drugs inhibit the virus’s ability to replicate. This is an anti-replication strategy that does nothing to stop the infection, and many strains of the virus have found ways around these drugs and continue reproducing. Given this discovery, a new vaginal gel could possibly be used in places where HIV is prominent. It can be used as a preventative measure to stop the initial infection and prevent the spread of HIV. The bee venom HIV study was published a several days ago in the journal Antiviral Therapy. More than 34 million people are living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, and over 3 million of them are under the age of 15. Everyday, thousands of people contract HIV around the world. It is also important to note the debate surrounding HIV and AIDS. Findings suggest there is not solid scientific evidence that exists today to prove the existence of HIV. AIDS is also under great debate as in some countries it is considered to be one thing while in another, it is something totally different. One can literally be diagnosed with AIDS in one country but not in another. AIDS is often is simply a term for a HUGE umbrella of potential diseases. The only common factor found amongst definitions is if the body’s T-cell count reduces below a specific level. Why is there such a lack of distinction about what AIDS truly is? Why so many different definitions? “Because it has been surrounded with so much emotion, very few people are capable of looking at AIDS logically.” - Mark Gabrish Conlan, AIDS researcher “If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There is no such document.” - Dr. Kary Mullis, Biochemist, 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. “Up to today there is actually no single scientifically convincing evidence for the existence of HIV. Not even once such a retrovirus has been isolated and purified by the methods of classical virology.” - Dr. Heinz Ludwig Sanger, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Biology and Virology, Max-Planck-Institutes for Biochemistry, Munchen. “…instead of trying to prove his insane theories about AIDS to his peers…he went public. Then, with the help of Margaret Heckler, former head of Health and Human Services, who was under great political pressure to come up with an answer to AIDS, the infamous world press announcement of the discovery of the so-called AIDS virus came about. This great fraud is now responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands… It was no accident that Gallo just happened to patent the test for HIV the day after the announcement…Gallo is now a multi-millionaire because of AIDS and his fraudulent AIDS test.” It is important to note that a complete understanding of HIV and its isolated existence has not yet been attained by the medical field. Among the scientific community this has been a debate for many years and it is critical for us to keep an open mind about the subject as much research has been put into it. More can be discovered here.

Miracle cancer treatment discovered at Stanford Cancer ‘vaccine’ eliminates tumors in mice Activating T cells in tumors eliminated even distant metastases in mice, Stanford researchers found. Lymphoma patients are being recruited to test the technique in a clinical trial. Jan 31 2018 Ronald Levy (left) and Idit Sagiv-Barfi led the work on a possible cancer treatment that involves injecting two immune-stimulating agents directly into solid tumors. Steve Fisch Injecting minute amounts of two immune-stimulating agents directly into solid tumors in mice can eliminate all traces of cancer in the animals, including distant, untreated metastases, according to a study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The approach works for many different types of cancers, including those that arise spontaneously, the study found. The researchers believe the local application of very small amounts of the agents could serve as a rapid and relatively inexpensive cancer therapy that is unlikely to cause the adverse side effects often seen with bodywide immune stimulation. “When we use these two agents together, we see the elimination of tumors all over the body,” said Ronald Levy, MD, professor of oncology. “This approach bypasses the need to identify tumor-specific immune targets and doesn’t require wholesale activation of the immune system or customization of a patient’s immune cells.” One agent is currently already approved for use in humans; the other has been tested for human use in several unrelated clinical trials. A clinical trial was launched in January to test the effect of the treatment in patients with lymphoma. (Information about the trial is available online.) Levy, who holds the Robert K. and Helen K. Summy Professorship in the School of Medicine, is the senior author of the study, which was published Jan. 31 in Science Translational Medicine. Instructor of medicine Idit Sagiv-Barfi, PhD, is the lead author. ‘Amazing, bodywide effects’ Levy is a pioneer in the field of cancer immunotherapy, in which researchers try to harness the immune system to combat cancer. Research in his laboratory led to the development of rituximab, one of the first monoclonal antibodies approved for use as an anticancer treatment in humans. Some immunotherapy approaches rely on stimulating the immune system throughout the body. Others target naturally occurring checkpoints that limit the anti-cancer activity of immune cells. Still others, like the CAR T-cell therapy recently approved to treat some types of leukemia and lymphomas, require a patient’s immune cells to be removed from the body and genetically engineered to attack the tumor cells. Many of these approaches have been successful, but they each have downsides — from difficult-to-handle side effects to high-cost and lengthy preparation or treatment times. “All of these immunotherapy advances are changing medical practice,” Levy said. “Our approach uses a one-time application of very small amounts of two agents to stimulate the immune cells only within the tumor itself. In the mice, we saw amazing, bodywide effects, including the elimination of tumors all over the animal.” Cancers often exist in a strange kind of limbo with regard to the immune system. Immune cells like T cells recognize the abnormal proteins often present on cancer cells and infiltrate to attack the tumor. However, as the tumor grows, it often devises ways to suppress the activity of the T cells. Levy’s method works to reactivate the cancer-specific T cells by injecting microgram amounts of two agents directly into the tumor site. (A microgram is one-millionth of a gram). One, a short stretch of DNA called a CpG oligonucleotide, works with other nearby immune cells to amplify the expression of an activating receptor called OX40 on the surface of the T cells. The other, an antibody that binds to OX40, activates the T cells to lead the charge against the cancer cells. Because the two agents are injected directly into the tumor, only T cells that have infiltrated it are activated. In effect, these T cells are “prescreened” by the body to recognize only cancer-specific proteins. Cancer-destroying rangers Some of these tumor-specific, activated T cells then leave the original tumor to find and destroy other identical tumors throughout the body. The approach worked startlingly well in laboratory mice with transplanted mouse lymphoma tumors in two sites on their bodies. Injecting one tumor site with the two agents caused the regression not just of the treated tumor, but also of the second, untreated tumor. In this way, 87 of 90 mice were cured of the cancer. Although the cancer recurred in three of the mice, the tumors again regressed after a second treatment. The researchers saw similar results in mice bearing breast, colon and melanoma tumors. I don’t think there’s a limit to the type of tumor we could potentially treat, as long as it has been infiltrated by the immune system. Mice genetically engineered to spontaneously develop breast cancers in all 10 of their mammary pads also responded to the treatment. Treating the first tumor that arose often prevented the occurrence of future tumors and significantly increased the animals’ life span, the researchers found. Finally, Sagiv-Barfi explored the specificity of the T cells by transplanting two types of tumors into the mice. She transplanted the same lymphoma cancer cells in two locations, and she transplanted a colon cancer cell line in a third location. Treatment of one of the lymphoma sites caused the regression of both lymphoma tumors but did not affect the growth of the colon cancer cells. “This is a very targeted approach,” Levy said. “Only the tumor that shares the protein targets displayed by the treated site is affected. We’re attacking specific targets without having to identify exactly what proteins the T cells are recognizing.” The current clinical trial is expected to recruit about 15 patients with low-grade lymphoma. If successful, Levy believes the treatment could be useful for many tumor types. He envisions a future in which clinicians inject the two agents into solid tumors in humans prior to surgical removal of the cancer as a way to prevent recurrence due to unidentified metastases or lingering cancer cells, or even to head off the development of future tumors that arise due to genetic mutations like BRCA1 and 2. “I don’t think there’s a limit to the type of tumor we could potentially treat, as long as it has been infiltrated by the immune system,” Levy said. The work is an example of Stanford Medicine’s focus on precision health, the goal of which is to anticipate and prevent disease in the healthy and precisely diagnose and treat disease in the ill. The study’s other Stanford co-authors are senior research assistant and lab manager Debra Czerwinski; professor of medicine Shoshana Levy, PhD; postdoctoral scholar Israt Alam, PhD; graduate student Aaron Mayer; and professor of radiology Sanjiv Gambhir, MD, PhD. Levy is a member of the Stanford Cancer Institute and Stanford Bio-X. Gambhir is the founder and equity holder in CellSight Inc., which develops and translates multimodality strategies to image cell trafficking and transplantation. The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health (grant CA188005), the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Boaz and Varda Dotan Foundation and the Phil N. Allen Foundation. Stanford’s Department of Medicine also supported the work. med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2018/01/cancer-vaccine-eliminates-tumors-in-mice.html

I heard an interview with this interesting woman but it hasn't been made available yet. She also wrote a book on Smell and Scents and how it affects us. There are many videos from her on youtube about that.
Eating the right foods is just about the best thing we can do for a healthy brain and body. Rachel discusses why we make the choices we do. Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food by Rachel Herz Food, along with sex, is key to the survival of humans and provides pleasure along with sustenance. Our relationship with food is exceptionally complex and influenced by a host of external factors. In Why You Eat What You Eat, neuroscientist Rachel Herz reveals the surprising reasons we decide what (and how much) to eat. Herz identifies different types of tasters ("supertasters" are most likely to dislike strong flavors like cilantro, but are also less likely to become alcoholics, while sriracha-loving "non-tasters" who yearn for big flavor are more susceptible). Yet taste alone does not solely dictate our food choices. Smell is an important influencer, and the stronger the aroma of a food, the higher the satisfaction level and the less we will consume. The adage "our eyes are bigger than our stomachs" is true, so eating meals on small plates will satisfy our brains when the plate is empty. But Herz cautions against the "health halo effect"--if a snack promotes its health benefits too much, we will reach for seconds. Are organic food consumers healthier than the rest of us? Not necessarily, since the health benefits of organic food entitles consumers to choose decadent desserts along with their kale salad. Conversely, Herz discusses comfort food--satisfying but unhealthy--and how nostalgia and other factors (like a reaction to a sports game or the night of the 2016 presidential election) may tell our brains to shovel it in. Using dozens of research studies, Herz provides readers with a greater awareness of the brain's complicated and contradictory relationship with food, and a roadmap to make smarter food choices down the road. --Frank Brasile, selection librarian, writer, editor Discover: Revealing and fun, this tour of the relationship between food and the brain will enable readers to make informed decisions about what, and how much, we eat.

forbiddenmedicine.org/IS NON-TOXIC CANCER TREATMENT BEING SUPPRESSED?Hundreds of people who wrote to the court in Jimmy Keller's defense in 1991 thought so. Many wrote that he had kept their cancers in remission when nothing else would. This is the true story of a man who cured himself of a near-fatal cancer after conventional medicine had mutilated and then abandoned him. He spent the next thirty years helping others with the disease. In the struggle to keep his clinic open, he faced raids and robberies, a near-fatal beating, a kidnapping, and a prison sentence many called justice gone wrong. The details of his therapies, and the history and vicissitudes of the non-traditional health care movement that his life personifies, are woven throughout his story. While politicians debate how to impose Modern Medicine on us all, this story needs to be retold. The need for alternative viewpoints and a broader spectrum of analysis is widely needed, and is fulfilled in Forbidden Medicine. At a stage in the evolution of mankind in which we need to pool all efforts towards a better understanding of the healing process, Ellen Brown's writings prove to be a valuable contribution. - Carlos Warter, M.D., Ph.D., Author of Recovery of the Sacred The story of Jimmy Keller, a purveyor of formulas said to cure cancer, and a purported "quack," is a story every American should know, and every cancer patient should take to heart. The cancer statistics speak for themselves -- "the war on cancer" is a travesty. - Review by Irene Alleger in Townsend Letter for Doctors What an incredible irony. Millions of Americans have died from cancer in the last 20 years, yet here we have a man who can put about 90% of people (who have not been treated with chemotherapy/radiation) into lengthy remission using natural non-toxic therapies, but he is attacked and imprisoned for saving lives. Why? - Gavin Phillips, “Highly Recommended Books,” CancerInform.org Keller's story highlights the sharp divide between orthodox and alternative/holistic approaches. Five stars. - “Best Picks,” Cancer Monthly Ellen BrownEllen Brown developed her research skills as a litigating attorney in Los Angeles. She is the author of 11 books, including the bestselling Nature's Pharmacy (co-authored with Dr. Lynne Walker) and Web of Debt (2007).

EXCELLENT SITE: 11 Wellness Trends To Watch In 2018 www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/wellness-trends-2018December 11, 2017 — 10:40 AM In 2017, the definition of "wellness" shifted. At mindbodygreen, we know that wellness is bigger than any individual’s journey. We are banding together to heal one another, our communities, and the planet. mbg's new look and feel are reflective of our evolved purpose, and so is our new mantra, one we hope will illuminate the way to a better, brighter 2018: You. We. All. We're excited that this year’s trends set the stage for a world in which wellness is more accessible than ever. In previous years, our predictions were spot on. Back in 2015, we called out supplement startups and the role of telomeres in aging. In 2016, guac was everywhere (we're not complaining), healthy tourism became an industry, and people made their homes sanctuaries complete with greenery and succulents. Last year, we were one of the first to call women's spaces and circles a trend, and we also saw personalized nutrition, medicinal mushrooms, and ketosis take off. This year, big corporations are responding to consumer demand for better personal care products, higher-quality food, and sustainability practices. At the same time, cutting-edge research on intermittent fasting and the microbiome offer promising outlooks for feeling our best and healing disease. Protecting the planet with #zerowaste initiatives will catch on big time in 2018, and femtech will drive a new wave of women’s empowerment. If our annual revitalize event was any indication, our priorities are shifting rapidly—giving us renewed motivation to take care of ourselves, one another, and our Mother Earth. We spoke to industry experts and pored over the latest research, and all signs point to a 2018 that’s more intentional, purposeful, and mission-driven. It’s time to use the incredible practices we have established to make the world a better place for ourselves, our children, and our planet. Here's to a progressive 2018!
