Natural Health

The Health Freedom Alliance reported today that the new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers shows that in 2008 there were zero deaths from any vitamins.

When will reports like this end? It just makes me sick to think that babies and their families are suffering because of prescription drugs that their mothers took in good faith – and without being warned that there were dangers to the baby. Television ads for anti-depressants carry the disclaimer that in some people, anti-depressants [...]

Another reason to drink your purple grape juice has just surfaced. A few weeks ago I wrote about studies showing that the resveratrol found in grape juice has powerful anti-oxidant properties that switch on your immune system and keep your blood flowing smoothly. Grape seed is also a component in natural remedies for improving eyesight. [...]

Who doesn’t want a miracle drug that costs very little, has no adverse side effects, and can cure a multitude of ills?
