Your Immune system keeps your body going. With all the diseases going around in such epidemic proportions, it is more important now than ever to have a strong immune system.
When your body has a weak immune system, you are losing the ability to fight off illness and disease weaken as well. Read on and learn about some of the overlooked sources of immune system stress.
1. Weed killer and Roundup
This is one of the most important reasons to shop Organic. Roundup causes mutations in the white blood cells, this severely weakens your immune system and your body’s natural defence against disease.
China and India are backing a 21 country $100 billion Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to challenge to the World Bank and Asian Development Bank.
Memorandum of understanding were signed with 21 Asian countries in Beijing Friday. Australia, Indonesia and South Korea were absent following hidden pressure from Washington.
Leading identity analyst firm Acuity Market Intelligence forecasts that in five years time half of the world’s population will have a chip-based National eID card, including near-complete regional coverage inEurope. Asia, with its vast population, is expected to dominate the market accounting for more than 60% of all National eID cards issued between 2014 and 2018.
Acuity’s report — “The Global National eID Industry Report: 2014 Edition” — projects that nearly 3.4 billion National eID cards will be issued over the next five years doubling global National eID card circulation from 1.75 billion to 3.5 billion by 2018.
According to Acuity Principal and biometrics and secure document market expert, Maxine Most, “In addition to the 3.4 billion chip-based National eIDs issued between 2014 and 2018, another 300 million National ID cards will integrate biometrics into non chip-based card programs.”
“Recent National ID news from across the globe validates Acuity’s growth projections,” says Most. “India and the Philippines are reviving efforts to introduce National eID cards to support their national identity programs. Turkey has announced the integration of biometrics into their National eID card scheme. South Korea is facing intense pressure to replace their National ID system due to rampant data breeches and fraud. And Nigeria appears to be making progress on their National eID program after years of promise and false starts.”
Coca-Cola Nigeria’s CEO could face up to five years jail time over failure to comply with orders to improve the company’s consumer protection standards.
The Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) faces similar charges, levied after a case involving two half-empty Sprite cans.
It’s only Tuesday and it’s already been a big week for Pope Francis. On Monday, Francis told a Vatican audience that scientific theories like evolution and the Big Bang can go hand and hand with religious doctrine. This is a departure from his predecessor Pope Benedict, an advocate of intelligent design.
“The Big Bang, that today is considered to be the origin of the world does not contradict the creative intervention of God -- on the contrary, it requires it,” Pope Francis said. “Evolution in nature is not in contrast with the notion of creation,” he continued.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will expedite planning for some 1,000 settler homes in East Jerusalem, a government official said on Monday, in a bid to placate a restive coalition ally without further aggravating a dispute with Washington.
The ultra-nationalist Jewish Home party, led by Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, has been issuing veiled threats to sever its political partnership with Netanyahu unless he agrees to its call for 2,000 new building tenders in settlements in the occupied West Bank.
The city of Detroit urged a judge on Monday to approve its plan to get out of bankruptcy, calling it a sweeping effort to "solve some really bad problems" by wiping out billions in debt and spending $1.7 billion on better services in a long-term prescription for the Motor City.
"Look where we are: 7 billion-plus coming off the books, massive deferrals" of other debt, he said. "This is exactly the relief Detroit needed and it's gone about it in the right way."Judge Steven Rhodes will decide Nov. 7 whether Detroit's plan is fair and feasible in the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. history. It's an up-or-down ruling: He can't choose parts he likes and scratch others. Bruce Bennett, an attorney for the city, went through the key points and summarized evidence from a trial that began after Labor Day.
The Mormon church acknowledges in a new essay that founder Joseph Smith had a teenage bride and was married to other men's wives during the faith's early polygamous days, a recognition of an unflattering part of its roots that historians have chronicled for years.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says most of Smith's wives were between 20 and 40 years old. One of them, however, was a 14-year-old girl who was the daughter of Smith's close friends.
The essay posted this week on the church's website marked the first time the Salt Lake City-based religion has officially acknowledged those facts, though it also has not denied them.
The article is part of a recent push by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to open up about sensitive issues within the faith, many of which are uncomfortable to discuss.
Sorcery and magic was considered evil and a form of witchcraft in the Bible. It was always associated with demonic activity. So in reality, it should come as no surprise to find that demons are behind it.
People are now asking the question, “Could it be that demons are behind a number of famous magician’s magic tricks?” This video gives you an up-front and personal glimpse into the hellish reality. Skeptics are welcome to watch and decide for yourself.
Israeli drug companies, such as Teva, are pretty good at producing imitation drugs quickly. Teva was truly disruptive to big pharma companies, since they often feared blockbuster drugs going off patent as Teva was ready and waiting with a quality generic imitation. It’s not so surprising that what is bad for big pharma is good for the patient and the consumer, and now an Israeli biotech company named Protalix is ready to replenish supplies of the experimental Ebola vaccine, ZMapp.
It’s pretty rare that members of Congress and all the witnesses they’ve called will declare out loud that Americans are just too ignorant to be given a piece of information, but that was a key conclusion of a session of the House Agriculture Committee this week.
The issue was genetically modified organisms, or GMOs as they’re often known in the food industry. And members of the subcommittee on Horticulture, Research, Biotechnology, and Foreign Agriculture, as well as their four experts, agreed that the genetic engineering of food crops has been a thorough success responsible for feeding the hungry, improving nutrition and reducing the use of pesticides.
"The American people are entitled to know what took place in US detention centres"
By Ewan Palmer
The Obama Administration has been given a December deadline to explain why it has withheld more than 2,000 graphic images depicting Iraqi and Afghanistan detainees being tortured by the US military.
A federal judge has ordered the US government to explain, one photograph at a time, why it blocked the images from being released to the public.
The death of an American journalist who worked in the Middle East has come under suspicion because she had claimed days before her death that the Turkish intelligence services had threatened her over her coverage of the siege of the Syrian city of Kobani.
Serena Shim, an American citizen of Lebanese origin, was a journalist for Iran’s state-owned Press TV. She was killed in a car crash in the city of Suruc after she reportedly collided with a “heavy vehicle.”
She was in a rental car returning from her assignment when the crash occurred. Neither the “heavy vehicle” nor its driver has been located, although her driver reportedly was arrested.
As many as 150,000 men of Jewish descent served in the German military under Adolf Hitler, some with the Nazi leader's explicit consent, according to a U.S. historian who has interviewed hundreds of former soldiers.
Bryan Mark Rigg, history professor at the American Military University in Virginia, told Reuters on Thursday that the issue of soldiers of partial Jewish descent was long a somewhat taboo subject, overlooked by most academics as it threw up thorny questions.
"Not everybody who wore a uniform was a Nazi and not every person of Jewish descent was persecuted," he said. "Where do they belong? They served in the military but lost mum at Auschwitz."
According to the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, Jews or those of partial Jewish descent were unfit for military service, but Rigg tracked down and interviewed more than 400 former soldiers of partial Jewish descent -- labelled "Mischlinge" ("half-caste") by the Nazis.
He estimates there were about 60,000 soldiers with one Jewish parent and 90,000 with a Jewish grandparent in the Wehrmacht, the regular army as distinct from the Nazi SS.
"They thought 'if I serve well they're not going to hurt me and not going to hurt my family'," he said.
There are few things that you should not do immediately after a meal.
1. Smoking – Studies have shown that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes. When you smoke immediately after having a meal, you increase your chances of contracting cancer ten times.
A man who smashed a controversial Ten Commandments monument this week and urinated on the display explained to investigators on Friday that Satan told him to do it.
Michael Reed, Jr., 29, drove his car into the monument, located near the state capitol building late Thursday, and then walked into the federal building Friday morning and began making threats to kill Barack Obama. He also advised officials that he had drove his car into the Ten Commandments display the night before.
1.) Aborted babies. This is my number one issue with vaccines. I am very opposed to abortion. To make vaccines they take samples of the virus, but they have to have a host of cells (a cell culture) for it to grow on. Cells can be taken from different things. They can use human or animal cells. They are taken from human fetuses which are babies that have been aborted or from the embryos of monkeys, chickens, and rabbits. If you read the ingredients list listed below, aborted babies are listed as human diploid cells.http://www.vacfacts.info/vaccine-production-with---human-diploid-cells-aborted-fetal-cell---tissue.html Watch the video at the top. You can find more information about this on many pro-life websites. You will also hear it’s not true there are aborted babies in vaccines, but human diploid cells being listed on the current ingredients list straight from the manufacturers settles that argument.
People all over the world are starting to be more conscious about the food that they eat. Fast food restaurants are full of food that is literally designed to turn people into addicts. They are often littered with and chemically altered for this purpose alone, despite a number of these foods being proven to be detrimental to human health. Ultimately we do have a choice, but it’s also confusing why these foods even exist given how bad and toxic most of them are, and how they promote so many different diseases. Just think about the intent behind their existence. Do you really think that it is to feed people?
Sources claim the virus was given to civilians through UN vaccine programmes with sinister aims
The scientist who recently pointed to evidence that Ebola was created by pharmaceutical corporations at the highest echelons of power was backed up by another expert- who says the outbreak coincides exactly with UN vaccine campaigns in the region.
Dr. Cyril Broderick is a former professor of plant pathology at the University of Liberia’s College of Agriculture and Forestry, and is on tenure as an associate at Delaware University. Late last month he wrote an op-ed in the Liberian Daily Observer claiming that the Ebola virus currently raging in western Africa is a GMO, made in a lab by western pharmaceutical companies and administered to unsuspecting civilians through U.N vaccination programs. The Washington Post called it a wild conspiracy theory, but is there any basis to these shocking revelations?
Climate change has been proven to be a lie, according to a leading meteorologist.
John Coleman, who co-founded the Weather Channel, claims that the belief humans are causing climate change is not backed up by science.
In an open letter attacking the UN, the 80-year-old from San Diego, said that what 'little evidence' there is for global warming points to natural cycles in temperature.
'There is no climate crisis,' he wrote. 'The ocean is not rising significantly. The polar ice is increasing, not melting away. Polar bears are increasing in number.
'Heat waves have actually diminished, not increased. There is not an uptick in the number or strength of storms.
'I have studied this topic seriously for years. It has become a political and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid.'
According to The Express, Mr Coleman based his research on the findings of the NIPCC, a non-governmental international body of scientists.
Their role is to offer an second opinion of the evidence reviewed by the UN's International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
A Obamacare processing center in Wentzville, MO, with a contract worth $1.2 billion, are paying hundreds of employees to sit around and do absolutely nothing.
Green coffee bean extract, which Dr. Mehmet Oz promoted on his show as a "magic weight-loss cure," had one scientific study backing up the extract's purported effects. Now, that research has been retracted, the blog Retraction watch reported.
Oz had to do some explaining on Capitol Hill in June, when senators asked him why he, as a surgeon and well-known doctor, promotes the use of weight-loss products that are scientifically unfounded.
Over the last three decades, Americans have cut their intake of artery-clogging saturated and trans fats -- but not enough, new research shows.
Saturated fats are found in meats, full-fat dairy foods and some oils, such as coconut and palm, according to the AHA.
Trans fats are found in baked goods such as pizzas, cookies and pies, the AHA says. However, food makers have reformulated products in the last few years to reduce or eliminate trans fats. Effective in 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration required trans fats to be listed on the nutrition label of foods.
Products can carry a label saying "no trans fats" if the item has less than 0.5 grams per serving, according to the FDA.
Honors and her colleagues looked at six surveys done as part of the Minnesota Heart Survey from 1980 to 2009. The surveys polled more than 12,000 adults, aged 25 to 74, who lived in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
Opium poppy cultivation has hit an all-time high in Afghanistan despite a 10-year, $7.6 billion effort by the U.S. government to fight it, according to a new report.
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan, who authored the report, warned Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Eric Holder and other top U.S. officials that the gap between expenditures and results should make them rethink their approach.
The President is signing a new Executive Order directing the government to lead by example in securing transactions and sensitive data. The new BuySecure Initiative will provide consumers with more tools to secure their financial future by assisting victims of identity theft, improving the Government’s payment security as a customer and a provider, and accelerating the transition to stronger security technologies and the development of next-generation payment security tools.
During remarks at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the President will highlight steps by his Administration and the private sector to improve security. With over 100 million Americans falling victim to data breaches over the last year, and millions suffering from credit card fraud and identity crimes, there is a need to act — and to move our economy toward stronger, more secure technologies that better secure transactions and safeguard sensitive data.
China fined GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK.L) a record 3 billion yuan ($490 million) on Friday for paying bribes to doctors to use its drugs, underlining the risks of doing business there while also ending a damaging chapter for the British drugmaker.
A court in the southern city of Changsha also sentenced Mark Reilly, the former head of GSK in China, and other GSK executives to between two and four years in jail, according to state news agency Xinhua.
While U.S. warplanes strike at the militants of the so-called Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq, truckloads of U.S. and Western aid has been flowing into territory controlled by the jihadists, assisting them to build their terror-inspiring “Caliphate.”
Most people have heard of fructose, the naturally-occurring sugar found in fruits. Fructose that is present in fruits is beneficial to your body as it also contains antioxidants. However, when fructose is added into prepackaged foods as an ingredient, the opposite is true. Current research has uncovered the negative effects of fructose on the body and has also found a way to fight it.
In yet another curious coincidence surrounding the recent Ebola crisis, it appears that FEMA has been preparing for the appearance of a pandemic of deadly disease in the near future all along.
The Federal Executive Boards in New York City and Northern New Jersey in partnership with FEMA Region II, The Department of Health and Human Services Region II, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) and the Clearing House Association are sponsoring a two year series of pandemic influenza continuity exercises – tabletop exercise 2013 (complete), full scale exercise 2014 – to increase readiness for a pandemic event amongst Federal Executive Departments and Agencies, US Court, State, tribal, local jurisdictional and private sector continuity.
Big wins can happen in small places. The West Virginia State Supreme Court finalized a big blow to the biotech giant Monsanto this month, finishing a settlement causing Monsanto to pay $93 million to the tiny town of Nitro, West Virginia for poisoning citizens with Agent Orange chemicals.
The settlement was approved last year, but details were worked out only weeks ago as to how the funds were to be spent.
“I received the following information from an ex-military guy whom I have known for about eight years. He served in special operations. I’m recalling some of the many things he said.“
“He suspects that the 1,600 US Army troops who were recently sent to Africa to contend with the Ebolathreat are to be exposed to this Ebola virus (which is not the true Zaire Ebola, but a man-made variant; you’ll find out why in a moment), and that these troops will be injected with the new Ebola vaccine“
The Pacific Northwest chapter of the Roman Catholic Church's Jesuit order has agreed to pay $166 million to settle more than 500 child sexual abuse claims against priests in five states, attorneys said on Friday.
The payout by the Society of Jesus, Oregon Province -- part of an agreement to resolve its two-year-old bankruptcy case -- marks one of the biggest settlements to date in the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandals.
A groundbreaking new study published in the prestigious journal Nature has revealed how non-caloric artificial sweeteners (NAS) drive obesity- and diabetes-related changes in both mice and humans.
“Here we demonstrate that consumption of commonly used NAS formulations drives the development of glucose intolerance through induction of compositional and functional alterations to the intestinal microbiota.”
Famous American actor Sylvester Stallone recently made a very important decision in his life. And it’s not another blockbuster film. Stallone announced that he “has surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Surely you know that fast food is injurious to health and that increases the risk for excessive weight gain. But did you know that fast food affects children’s intelligence as well?
A research that was conducted in London involved 4,000 children, and the results obtained are more than overwhelming.
