Published on Leave a comment on Health Chiefs Issue Warning for Common Acid Reflux Drug Taken by Millions Over Infection Fears!

by Zoe Hardy – MSN News

Health officials have warned that long-term use of acid reflux drugs to combat indigestion could increase the risk of developing a potentially deadly bacterial infection. 

Acid reflux—when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the gullet—is a common cause of indigestion, and the burning pain this produces is what most people describe as

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), such as Omeprazole, are one of the UK's most prescribed medications in the UK to treat the condition, with 73million NHS prescriptions dispensed in England in 2022-23.

But the NHS has issued a statement warning against taking the drug for longer than 2 Weeks without a prescription, over fears it could increase the risk of Clostridioides difficile. 

Commonly referred to as C. diff, the highly contagious bug, which initially infects the bowel and causes diarrhoea, can trigger life-threatening complications. It kills up to one in five patients that fall ill with it. 

C. diff usually lives harmlessly in the bowel, but PPIs such as omeprazole, which work by reducing stomach acid, can throw off the natural balance of bacteria in the organ, increasing the risk of a C. diff infection. …

Published on Leave a comment on Health Alert: When POTATOES Are Green OR Sprouting ARE They SAFE To USE? Very Important – Please Read!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Once Potatoes start Sprouting, are they still Safe to Eat? Mostly NO, unless they have only just started to Sprout and are Tiny. You should always Avoid Green Potatoes unless the are only just starting to change colour but you should Peel them Thickly with a Knife instead of a Potato Peeler. Make sure there is No Green left on the Potato OR Throw Out because they are Toxic. Sprouted Potatoes are Also Toxic if they are pass the Tiny Stage (where they have just appeared) and you should never ever consider using Wrinkled Potatoes because ALL of those ARE Toxic!

Please AVOID Eating Green Potatoes
For Your Health's Sake!

For further Information to let you know why this is So Important, shall I show you some abbreviated Information in shorter detail than some Webpages? It goes like this:

You should avoid eating sprouted potatoes because the sprouts and green parts of the potato contain high levels of toxic compounds called glycoalkaloids, such as solanine and chaconine, which can cause symptoms ranging from Stomach Upset and Headaches to Confusion and, in severe cases, Heart and Nervous System problems. While…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Chronic Inflammation Can Be Linked To Your Gut – And What To Do About It!

By Laurel Ives – The Telegraph

Our gut microbiome, the bustling community of trillions of microbes living deep within our intestines, does more than just help with digest food, it contributes to so many aspects of our health. In recent years, gut health and inflammation have become such popular buzzwords, yet many still don’t realise just how intricately they are linked:

Why is gut health important?
Inflammation and gut health
Spotting inflammation
Improving your diet for better gut health
Other factors that affect gut health

Our Microbiome Contributes To So Many Aspects Of Our Health

Why is gut health so important?

The gut microbiome is so important, in fact its often called “the second brain.”

Scientists are now realising that when the gut microbiome is out of balance – when the bad bacteria have begun to dominate and kill off the good – it can set off a toxic chain reaction throughout the body. This is chronic inflammation and can be a root cause of many of our most serious illnesses, from cancer to heart disease and diabetes.

So it makes sense that good gut health can translate into improved overall health.…

Published on 2 Comments on Confessions Of A Health Researcher – Lessons Learned and Some Good Advice!

As a Passionate Natural Health Researcher and CEO of Several Websites and Creation with a Passionate Care and Concern for Others Health and Happiness,
I was so into everything of long hours duration on a daily basis including many half nights and weekends. I do find my Work of Creativity and Research VERY INTERESTING to the point where I could “Live on Air” so to speak, neglecting meals often when I start a Project and work right through till I finish it – regardless of my Own Personal Health Needs, so Vital in Life for ALL of Us, not some of us.

PLEASE CARE FOR YOUR EYES!

Funny thing is, as an Inspirational Writer and Spiritual Writer, I really believe in “Practicing what I Preach” that for me is the Golden Standard – and I will not Compromise with that, as like many of you out there, I dislike Hypocrisy in any shape or form, be it religious, political or other. Yet when it comes to Health, I do Practice what I Preach – when it comes to things which are Vital and Essential – but looking back now, I wasn’t Fully practicing my Beliefs as a Researcher when it comes to My Own Health really.…

Published on Leave a comment on You’ve Been Conned: Your “Healthy” Cereal Might Be Ruining Your Health – Don’t Trust The Front Of The Box!

Breakfast cereal might look like a quick and easy way to start your day,
but new research shows many cereals - especially those aimed at kids - are less healthy than ever.

Here's what you need to know before pouring your next bowl.

Sugar Levels Are On The Rise

Though the increase in sugar might seem modest, many cereals already start with a high sugar content.

Most exceed recommended daily sugar limits, especially when served to children, making them a poor everyday option.

Fat Content Has Jumped Over 30 %

From 2010 to 2023, fat levels in children’s cereals increased by a staggering 33.6%.

High fat content in the morning can contribute to poor cardiovascular health and unbalanced energy levels.

Sodium Is Creeping Up Too

Sodium content rose by 32.1% across new cereal launches, which can raise blood pressure - even in children - and increase long-term heart disease risks.

Fiber Is Steadily Decreasing

Dietary fiber dropped significantly after 2021, falling from 3.82 grams to just 2.94 grams per serving.

That’s a big problem for digestion, fullness, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Protein Has Taken A Hit

Protein content fell from an average of 1.97 grams to 1.69 grams per serving over 14 years.…

Published on Leave a comment on A Scientist Who Studies Ultra-Processed Foods Follows 3 Simple Rules To Help Him Stop Overeating

By Kim Schewitz - Nutrition Researcher

  • Ultra-processed foods tend to be energy-dense and soft, making them easy to overeat.
  • Sam Dicken, a nutrition researcher, tries to avoid UPFs because he naturally has a big appetite.
  • He shared how he avoids overeating without checking labels, such as by considering a food's texture.

Sam Dicken is a scientist who researches the potential harms of ultra-processed foods, like store-bought cookies and pizza. Despite what he knows, these kinds of food are often manufactured to be so easy to overeat that even he struggles to control himself around them.

"My appetite is huge," the researcher at the Centre for Obesity Research at UCL
in London told Business Insider. "I find it really easy to just keep on eating."

But Dicken has a few clever tricks to practice moderation when eating less nutritious foods, which go beyond simply trying to decipher from the label whether they're ultra-processed.

UPFs are made with ingredients you wouldn't find in a regular kitchen,
such as stabilizers and gums, and are highly marketed and shelf-stable.

Part of what makes them so easy to overeat is that this combination can make UPFs hyperpalatable — meaning they contain an appetizing combination of fat, salt, or sugar and are soft in texture, Dicken said.…

Published on Leave a comment on The No. 1 Sign You Were Raised by a Narcissist, According to a Psychologist

Story by Caroline Kee

If you've been on the internet lately, you've probably seen the term "narcissist" thrown around. It's become a common label used to describe toxic traits and behaviors, often in the context of romantic relationships.

You may think of the classic love-bombing, manipulative cheater or the arrogant, entitled spouse who is always right.

Another type of relationship that's often plagued by narcissism is the one between a parent and child. The narcissistic parent trope is often depicted in film, such as Faye Dunaway's role in "Mommie Dearest," or the neglectful parents in "Matilda."

Narcissistic parents can shape the entire family dynamic and have a lasting impact on a child's wellbeing. However, children of narcissists may not realize this until they're struggling with the effects years or decades later.

How can you tell if a parent was a narcissist? TODAY.com spoke to Ramani Durvasula, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, narcissism expert and author of "It's Not You," about the telltale signs that a person might've been raised by a narcissistic parent or caregiver.

What Is Narcissism?

"Narcissism is a personality style or pattern that's characterized by some pretty set qualities and traits, and you have to have most, if not all, of them to call someone narcissistic," Durvasula tells TODAY.com.…

Published on Leave a comment on Ways to Avoid Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals

I INTEND TO HAVE INFO FROM OTHER AUTHORS HERE

Endocrine disruptors like PFAS, BPA, and Phthalates lurk in everything
from Cleaning Products to Dust Bunnies.

By Alexandra Zissu – Author of The Conscious Kitchen and Co-Author of Planet Home and The Complete Organic Pregnancy

Recent June 2025 Article

You may remember learning in Biology Class that our bodies are run by a Network of Hormones and Glands that regulate everything we do. Most often, we think about this system—our Endocrine System—in the context of Puberty, but it actually plays a starring role in All phases of Development, Metabolism and Behavior.

Here’s the bad news: Synthetic Chemicals in products like Plastics and Fragrances can Mimic Hormones and interfere with or disrupt the Delicate Endocrine Dance. We’re exposed to these chemicals daily, and we’re especially vulnerable to them during phases of accelerated development—including throughout Childhood or a Pregnancy. Fetuses are also particularly at risk. Some of the impacts on our Metabolism and Immune, Nervous, and Reproductive Systems can have long-term and even lifetime adverse health effects, such as Learning Disabilities, Obesity, Diabetes, Reproductive Problems (including infertility), and Cancer. 

“We have very tight developmental windows of when, say, our Brain and Reproductive Organs are formed,” explains NRDC Senior Scientist Dr.…
