Have you ever noticed how a new shower curtain smells? There is a distinctive toxic odor in shower curtains pulled fresh from the packaging. This noxious odor is plastic softener, a potently hazard chemical compound that may be doing more than softening our curtains...

Where to start?  We’ve all heard that soy is a health food – a great source of protein, a substitute for meat and milk.  It is the backbone of a vegetarian diet and has launched a whole new wave of “health foods”. 

Unfortunately most of these new creations are not healthy and in many cases one could argue if they are even food!  The truth is that soy consumption is hazardous to your health. 

Is your cell phone a death machine?

The studies are starting to add up, and they all point in the same direction: Cell phones emit harmful radiation that can cause cancer and infertility. And we still have no idea what these things will do to all the kids now growing up with one practically implanted in their ears.

How many boys will die? That’s the elephant in the FDA’s living room.

American parents…brace yourselves...

Dear Pharmacist,

Sometimes after I take Viagra, my vision turns blueish-grey and it gets blurry. Is this this an expected side effect?  I can’t ask my doctor because he may stop prescribing it for me.

I just got back from my third trip to Jamaica this year, and I have some terrific news for you!

Back in March I told you about my first trip when I met Ivy Harris, a native Maroon healer. She introduced me to herbs that I had never heard of before...

Flim-flam artists could learn something from the pharmaceutical industry. An FDA advisory panel just recommended approving Gardasil vaccines to prevent genital warts in boys as young as age nine. Never mind that genital warts are about as common among middle-school boys as opera buffs are. Never mind that that the vaccine hasn’t undergone extensive long-term testing, that the long-term effects (and effectiveness) of vaccinating young kids won’t be known for decades, or that it costs an average of $500 per series of shots. And never mind that Gardasil may cause as many problems as it prevents.

It's amazing to me that in the 21st century, people still have to fight for even the simplest and most basic of rights.

In Australia, thousands of people rallied in front of Parliament, fed up with bureaucrats who want to criminalize homebirthing.

It is a modern-day tragedy that millions of women in the U.S. have been scared by Merck’s powerful ad campaign to become “one less” victim to cervical cancer by getting vaccinated with Gardasil. Sadly, now an increasing number of formerly healthy girls are turning into “one more” victim of vaccine adverse reactions.

Is your sex drive diminishing or just plain gone?  You may not be alone.  Recent research suggests that over 40 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 59 suffer from some form of female sexual dysfunction. 

The leading culprit is lack of interest or hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).  Most of the research in the area of sexual dysfunction has been on men and has focused on erectile dysfunction.  A recent study indicates that for women part of the puzzle is how their brain is functioning.
