Thyme was used during the embalming process in Ancient Egypt and as incense for temples in Ancient Greece. According to writer Maud Grieve, the Romans used thyme to flavor up alcoholic beverages.

Crazy! Yes! And no question about it. Here we have the CDC funding National City and County Employee Associations to make their end run around personal exemptions for vaccines. The goal is to get these organizations to call an end to any exemptions for vaccines.  Forced medication against your will, denying your right of informed consent while millions are funneled to Big PhRMA: Sounds as if your government is working against you. * Fundamental Right to Decline Vaccines is in Jeopardy in Many States! * *Join Washington, Oregon and Maryland in successfully defending **the right to make informed, voluntary decisions about vaccinations.*  Legislative committees all across the country are considering bills to restrict the legal right to make voluntary choices about vaccinations but you can stop them. *Whether you advocate for or against the use of vaccines, NHFA urges you to stand up *for your right to be in charge of your family's health care, including making informed, vo...

I appreciate Dr. Tenpenny's words on the behalf of health.  I have held this out for years as well and have been encouraging people to get a clear understanding of this issue.   by Dr Sherri Tenpenny, DO, AOBNMM, ABIHM In 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began a program to entice doctors and hospitals to incorporate the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR). The carrot? The promise of convenience, coordinated care, fewer medical errors, more efficient office visits, faster billing, improved access to medical records. Oh yeah, and they were told, “If you want to get paid, you must convert and bill electronically.” The EHR programs were costly. The set up and implementation fees, which could be   $30,000 or more ,   were required for each physician   in a practice. Therefore, the government offered   two incentive programs   to encourage participation. The Medicare EHR Incentive Program offered to pay up to $44,000 over ...

I am really amazed by the nonsense littering the web. Take for instance Julie Upton, a registered dietician, who has an article on POPSUGAR telling about food myths.  She lists diet soda as a product that doesn't cause you to get fat, Myth 2: Diet sodas make you gain weight. Fact: While you may have read that diet beverages make you gain weight, a recent clinical trial found just the opposite. In the 12-week study, published in the journal Obesity , dieters who drank diet beverages lost 13 pounds on average — 44 percent more than subjects drinking water only, who lost an average of nine pounds. What's more, the diet-soda drinkers reported feeling more satisfied. This study adds to a substantial body of research demonstrating that low-calorie sweeteners and the diet beverages that contain them do not hinder but can in fact help with weight loss. Two peer-reviewed studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by researchers from the University of Nort...

The Native American Remedy for Low Blood Sugar and Diabetes By Gayle Eversole, DHom, PhD, MH, NP, ND A project I have been working on for quite a few years, I guess going back as far as the early 1990s, is helping educate our people about preventing and assisting in the natural care of diabetes. More than any other group of people American Indians are plagued with this dreadful disease. When I was researching the educational program I designed when I was completing my doctoral coursework I found an interesting fact. Attributed mainly to Plains people, but not absent in tribes from other geographic areas in the Southwest and other regions, diabetes was considered somewhat of a survival mechanism. Many traditional foods and locally found herbs have historically been helpful in the care and treatment of diabetes. The last program I presented was at the Indian Health facility located in the Blackfeet Nation at Browning, Montana. As a gift I was given a book on the Ethnobotany of the Blac...

Travel back to the days when nutrients were the focus of a brave few medical professionals who believed that inflammation was a key factor in mental health, along with nutrient depletion. These were the Orthomolecular Pioneers of the 1950s. " Is depression a kind of allergic reaction? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that depression is a result of inflammation caused by the body’s immune system by Caroline Williams B arely a week goes by without a celebrity “opening up” about their “battle with depression”. This, apparently, is a brave thing to do because, despite all efforts to get rid of the stigma around depression, it is still seen as some kind of mental and emotional weakness. But what if was nothing of the sort? What if it was a physical illness that just happens to make people feel pretty lousy? Would that make it less of a big deal to admit to? Could it even put a final nail in the coffin of the idea that depression is all in the mind? Accordi...
