In the movies, it’s played for laughs: A little Aluminum Foil… shaped like a hat… is the sure sign of a conspiracy weirdo.

Well, my friend, today I’ve got the REAL conspiracy.

It involves the main ingredient in that foil.

You’re not wearing it ON your head as a hat (at least, I hope you aren’t). But it’s getting IN your head anyway – and it’s not there to help you out.

Aluminum is a MAJOR undiagnosed cause of Cognitive struggles in Seniors, leading to decline and even Dementia, not to mention more severe Neurodegenerative diseases ranging from Parkinson’s to Alzheimer’s.…

Published on 16 Comments on 14 Natural Antihistamine Foods Plus Benefits!

By Owen Ibbotson Naturopath

There are many products on the market that promise to relieve, control, manage or attack allergies. These products work by interfering with biochemical responses that happen in the body. One example is antihistamines.

These medications may relieve symptoms by stopping histamine from being released by certain cells in the body.

Though antihistamines are the most common drugs used to treat allergic symptoms, they are not short of side effects. A major side effect is sleepiness. Driving a car or working equipment is not suggested while under the influence of antihistamines.

Further common side effects are dryness of the mouth, nose and throat, blurry vision, faintness, loss of appetite, biliousness, upset stomach, low blood pressure, headache, anxiety, agitation, sleeplessness and loss of coordination.

With all those side effects, you may be looking for other options?

Continue reading to discover my top natural antihistamine foods with benefits…

As a naturopath with 15 years of experience, I have a special interest in the treatment of allergic conditions. I love using natural remedies and food.

Histamine is a biochemical that the body makes on its own. We can also eat diets that are rich in histamine.…

THESE COME UP IN MY RESEARCH FROM TIME TO TIME. TODAY, THEY CAME UP IN ONE ARTICLE ON THE INTERNET AND I'M PASSING IT ON. THESE PRINCIPLES ARE GOOD WHEN PUT INTO PRACTICE.

Three Key’s To A Better Brain

Almost everyone experiences some degree of changes in memory and brain function as they age.  This can range from simply misplacing keys or taking longer to recall the name of the neighbor you run into at the grocery store, to more serious types of cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia.  Women may especially notice cognitive changes around the time of menopause, when hormone-related “brain fog” can become a bothersome and annoying complaint.  The upside to all this is that the brain responds well to the healthy choices we make in our lives.  Three new studies point to the various ways we can positively influence our brain, memory, and thinking as we age.

Published on Leave a comment on The Truth About The Nitrates In Your Food – Some Good Facts

By Angela Dowden - BBC

“Nitrites Aren’t All bad. There’s Increasing Evidence They May Provide Cardiovascular And Other Benefits Thanks To A Molecule Called Nitric Oxide" (BBC).  Some Safety Measures You Can Take. One Of These Makes A Lot Of Sense For Dental Hygiene Which Helps To Protect Your Heart As Well, Believe It Or Not. Different Systems In Our Body Are Inter-Related, Not Separate. We Need To See Things From A Whole-Approach, Including Nitrates Which Can Be A Friend Or A Foe. This Article Is Good. Shall We Go?

Usually associated with processed meats, nitrates and nitrites are potentially cancer-causing compounds.

But what are they, really – and are they always detrimental?

“Nitrates” may make you think of school chemistry lessons or fertilisers. They’re probably less likely to be something you’d associate with dinner.

If you do think of nitrates in the context of food, it is probably a negative image that comes to mind – in particular, perhaps, the recent call for nitrate and nitrite preservatives to be banned from bacon and ham because of potential cancer-causing effects.

But the relationship between dietary nitrates/nitrites and health is a lot more nuanced than merely saying “they’re bad for us”. For example, the high natural nitrate content of beetroot juice has been credited with lowering blood pressure and enhancing exercise performance.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Is There So Much SOY In Everything? We Should Stand Up To These Manufacturers!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

“NO, I DON’T WANT SOY WITH THAT”

Diet Shakes With Soy (added) Bread With Soy, Schnitzel With Soy, Burgers With Soy, Quiche With Soy, Chorizo With Soy Etc Get The Picture? And Everyone Says “YES!”……….”We Don’t Want Soy!” It’s In Almost Everything You Can Think Of. Yes Anything You Can Imagine, If You Haven’t Checked The Packets, Cans And Labels. And We Should Tell Them “NO! I’m Not Buying That”……..Your Best Way To Protest is: Speak Up And Leave The Products On The Shelves (this is more effective in numbers, the more of us the better, don’t wait for someone else). Tell The Cafes, Bakeries And Restaurants “NO SOY”……. Give These Manufacturers, Shops And Venues A Hard Time, So They Have To Take Notice Of Us. Enough IS Enough. They’ve Placed Enough Impositions On Us (for convenience, to cut corners) Lets Impose Our Standards On Them – We’re Far Too Passive, We Didn’t Speak Up. Friends, We Need To Do This.
