Providing further evidence that THC kills cancer cells! Since 1974, there have been studies that show cannabis to be an anti-tumor agent. The results of the 1974 Washington Post study found that THC “slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36%.

A similar study, conducted in 1998 by a research team at Madrid’s Comlutense University found that THC can selectively induce programmed cell death in brain tumors while not harming the healthy brain cells around them.

The evidence truly is mounting that cannabis can, at the very least, be a part of an effective treatment against cancer. Cancer is truly the demon of our era, but this demon will soon be banished back to the hell from which it came.

I might add Irish cream to the list but I'm not sure that counts as a superfood...

Each day a person gets about three opportunities to up their nutrition in order to sustain them for that day and carry them through to the next.

Some of us, for various reasons, cannot overhaul our food lifestyles overnight. Sometimes the availability of funds and wholesome foods just isn’t there. Supplements are expensive and it’s frustrating to have to take things after striving to get nutrition from food (that comes from seriously depleted soil).

That’s why I’m a big fan of doctoring your foods to the highest and most flavorful potency. Make food into both medicine and supplements by simply working them into your routine recipes. By doing so, you don’t have to remember to take anything...

More and more it seems like people turn to prescription or over the counter drugs for every little hiccup without considering what’s happening in their bodies and why they feel the way they do. Of course, there are some ailments that will require medication, but you may consider the banana for some of these other health issues.

Constipation and gas

Bananas contain a nutrient called pectin, which speeds up and assists digestion, as well as promotes the removal of toxins from the body. Overall, bananas stimulate the intestines. These impacts reduce flatulence and work as a natural laxative.

Stress

One thing stress does to us is speed up our metabolism, which can leave us feeling worse. When stressed out, potassium levels drop in the body, which means you can suffer hypertension...

This should come as no surprise to anyone. According to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers, analyzed by Pediatrician Dr. Steven Lipshultz, 40% of poison control calls regard the consumption of energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster in children under the age of six years old. The doctor speaks unequivocally about this matter.

Energy drinks have no place in pediatric diets.

Dr. Lipschultz’s findings were presented at this year’s American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions. His report looked at records from October 2010 to September 2013 from 55 poison control centers in the United States. Of the 5,156 calls to poison control centers, 40% involved the accidental consumption of energy drinks by very young children. Dr. Lipscultz believes that the data is an underestimate of the whole scale of the problem.

We all do it, all day, every day. Even while we sleep. In fact we never ever stop doing it. If we did we would die. But do we ever think about it? Do we realise just how much of an impact it has on our bodies, our minds and our overall health?

It is the simple act of respiration. That’s right – breathing! Believe it or not, there are different ways to breathe, which have different effects on the body and our health. But let’s just take a look at two. Nose breathing which induces relaxation, calm, and improves health, and the other mouth breathing, which most of us do by default, because of the lives we lead, which contributes to many health concerns like elevated blood pressure and an increase in resting heart rate.
