Pasteurized Milk From Industrial Dairies Linked to Cancer


A new study out from Harvard University links milk produced at factory and industrial farms with hormone dependent cancers. High levels of estrone sulfate are produced using concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO). Strone sulfate is an estrogen compound linked to testicular, prostate and breast cancers.

When milk from "modern dairy farms" is compared to milk aquired through more wholistic grass fed sources, the estrogen compound is up to 33 times more concentrated.

Acupuncture and Digestion

Is your gut making you unhappy?


From a new study found here:  "New research concludes that acupuncture is effective in the treatment of dyspepsia. Dyspepsia is indigestion- also known as an upset stomach. It involves symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, an uncomfortable sensation of heaviness or fullness after eating, nausea, belching and heartburn. Dyspepsia is often linked to GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), gastritis and gastrointestinal ulcers. In many cases, dyspepsia is not linked to an underlying organic disease. In biomedicine, dyspepsia is often treated with PPIs (proton pump inhibitors), which are a class of drugs known for the treatment of heartburn. However, long term use of PPIs is linked to gastric cell atrophy, which may lead to cancer."
