• The ONE Thing That Can Slash Your Risk of Dying From Cancer Up to 50%: For years now, you’ve heard that the way to better health is to turn off the Boob Tube and get your body moving. But new evidence shows that cutting back on TV time does more than just help you slip in a little exercise. The fact is it can also add years to your life.

• Food safety false flag? USDA waited for people to die before recalling ground turkey it knew was contaminated: Adding yet more evidence to the proof that the U.S. government maliciously promotes dangerous food borne illness outbreaks rather than trying to prevent them, evidence has emerged today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture knew ground turkey produced by Cargill was widely contaminated with salmonella, yet it did nothing about it and waited for fatalities to occur. This breaking news has been published by the Wall Street Journal

• Natural Allergy Relief: Besides avoiding foods that may trigger your allergy, there are a number of foods that can be helpful for calming down allergy symptoms.

• Vitamin Water exposed as sugar water in Food Investigations video: a new Food Investigations video entitled, "The Vitamin Water Deception," the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (www.ConsumerWellness.org) takes aim at the misleading marketing and high sugar content of Vitamin Water (a Coca-Cola product). The video was created by the Consumer Wellness Center and narrated by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, who also created the hugely popular "Blueberry Deception" video which has received over one million views across the internet.
 

• Are You Fat Because You are Being Poisoned?: Recent research has implicated environmental contaminants in the pathogenesis of obesity. A new study sought to explore the relationship between persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and fat mass.

• Eating Mistakes that Age You: Yahoo Shine notes that eating the wrong foods -- or not eating the right foods -- can result in symptoms that most people tend to assume are due to aging. Here are four tips they've assembled to steer you in the right direction.

•  New Research Shows Factory Farms are NOT the Way to Feed the World: One recently published scientific paper urges a fundamental rethinking of the U.S. agricultural-research system, which it calls "narrowly focused on productivity and efficiency" at the expense of public health and ecological resilience. It also calls for a revamping of the Farm Bill, which it argues uses subsidies to "mask market, social, and environmental factors associated with conventional production systems."

• This Should be Banned: Found in 80% of Supermarket Foods: Monsanto may soon be allowed to conduct its own environmental studies. Currently, the USDA is responsible for assessing environmental impacts of new GMO crops, but the agency plans to at least temporarily hand over environmental impact reporting responsibilities to the biotech companies behind GMO crops.

• Are BPA alternatives potentially just as dangerous as Bisphenol-A?: The Atlantic recently posed the obvious but, as yet, unasked question: What is in the new BPA-free plastics that are now flooding the market, and how do we know they are safe?

• Fructose: what is it, and why is it in everything?: We all know fructose is some type of sweetener, we see it listed on so many food label s: ketchup, soft-drinks, energy drinks, cereals, cookies, breads, crackers, ice creams, canned soups, and more. And most of us think fructose has something to do with fruits. So in some way it's okay; it's just some sweetener thing derived from natural fruit sugar.

But it's not. Well it's half true. Fructose is one of the main sugars from fruits, the others being sucrose and glucose, so that's true. But the fructose found in processed foods is an entirely different story.

• NEW Research Explains 61% of Multiple Sclerosis Cases: New research shows that low levels of sunlight, coupled with glandular fever, could increase your risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). This could be one reason that MS tends to be more common away from the equator.

• Is it Time to Boycott This 'Anti' Cancer Charity?: The 130-page document linked below explains in detail why the American Cancer Society may be far more interested in accumulating cash than curing any disease. The ACS has close ties to the mammography industry, the cancer drug industry, and the pesticide industry.

• The false claims of GMOs: For years, biotechnology companies have been making lofty, unsubstantiated claims that genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) are the cure for world hunger, and that without them, people will starve to death. But according to many agricultural scientists and researchers, such claims have absolutely no basis in reality, and are nothing more than deceitful marketing. One researcher from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) recently compared the nonsensical industry rhetoric in favor of GMOs to giving cigarettes away free to children -- in other words, claims that GMOs are the answer to world hunger are nothing but a ploy to hook farmers and consumers into taking the deadly bait.

• Home births up 20 percent as more Americans prefer natural child birth: The number of pregnant women who choose to have their babies at home instead of at a hospital has risen by 20 percent over the past four years, according to new statistics released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Though home births had been on the decline between 1990 and 2004, the period between 2004 and 2008, which represent the newest figures available, saw a sharp increase in home births.

3 things I've learned through Nutrition Response Testing

Both my husband and I have been seeing Dr. Blanchard for over and year and a half and there are three really important lessons I've learned on our journey:

1. Every day people choose to eat foods loaded with pesticides, processed sugars and preservatives, clean with harsh chemicals, bathe themselves in toxins found in shampoos and soap, and coat their skin with toxic creams, lotions, and makeup, they choose to slowly poison themselves.

2. Slow poisoning of the body is not, in most cases, immediately noticeable. It may take months or years, maybe decades for everything to accumulate enough to cause major health issues. But note, that there are subtle signs of health issues accumulating through the appearance of skin, hair, and the body not working properly (for example: no menstrual cycle, severe acne or other skin problems, headaches, acid reflux, bloating, weight gain, rapid heart beat, etc ...). When the body is not working like it was created to, it lets you know.

3. Undoing 30 (or even 10, 20, 40, ...) years of what I mentioned in point number one is not easy and it takes a long time. If I would've known the long-term effects of all that stuff, I would have taken better care of myself. I am really grateful, though, for Nutrition Response Testing because it gives me the chance to undo what I've done and have a fresh, clean start. And I'm hoping the next 50 years, with all that I know about nutrition and health, that they will be healthy and full of life.

It's the reason I blog—to educate people and give people an opportunity to take back their health.  If we, CNHC, can help you add some life and good health to your years through Nutrition Response Testing, and you're in the Tri-State area (Indiana, Cincinnati, Kentucky), call and schedule a consultation today. We would love to help you get started on your journey to good health!

• Hypocritical pediatricians push for stricter chemical laws at the same time they inject babies with toxic vaccines: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently issued a policy paper condemning the current Toxic Substances Control Act (TSC Act) for failing to properly regulate the tens of thousands of toxic chemicals used in various consumer products, many of which are especially dangerous to pregnant women and young children. Though correct in its identification of chemical use as a toxic threat to society's most vulnerable individuals, the AAP hypocritically continues to support the intramuscular poisoning of children through vaccinations, which are loaded with toxic chemicals that are directly injected into children's bodies.

• The Medical Monopoly: It's not about who's right or wrong but who's in charge: The general public doesn't realize there is an ongoing war for the control of our bodies. Allopathic medicine and the pharmaceutical industry demand a monopoly on treating disease and will stop at nothing to achieve that end.

• The Amazing Nutrient that Lowers Your Blood Pressure: Research has recently found that vitamin D has a protective effect against arterial stiffness and impaired blood vessel relaxation.
