New Research on Minerals, St. John's Wort and Tea

Have you ever heard or read about Pu-erh tea or theaflavins? Did you know that iron and zinc deficiencies can often be missed by typical medical exams - which can sometimes lead to the use of potentially unnecessary prescription drugs? There's a constant influx of new information in the field of natural medicine. Some of the data comes as a revelation. But most of what's learned tends to substantiate or refute prior research. That's why it's vital to stay up-to-date. HealthyFellow.com is a premier online resource that can help you do just that.

With information comes power. The more you know, the better you can help control your health care destiny. It's also important to remember that whatever you discover can and should be shared with those around you. Good information should be spread about. By doing so, you will be contributing to a grass roots effort that effectively and inexpensively reforms the modern medical system at a core level.

Chemicals in Plastic and Earthing

It's amazing how many aspects of health are affected by the environment. By that, I don't only mean the natural surroundings. Human beings are exposed to a greater number of synthetic chemicals than ever before. These substances are in the food chain, our homes and even in the air we breathe. This is a fact that is universally accepted and understood. But what's not as clear is exactly what kind of an impact they have within the body.

Many authorities in the health care field advise two primary strategies to avoid chemical and environmental dangers: limit exposure whenever possible and try to spend more time in a natural setting.

The links I've provided above, from HealthyFellow.com, offer practical advice about how to protect yourself from chemically-induced health risks via an improved diet, limiting exposure to man-made toxins, reconnecting to the Earth and using alternative remedies for chronic health conditions.

Modern technology is both a blessing and a curse. But we can often derive the greatest good from 21st century living by making judicious choices in our daily life and occasionally reminding ourselves of the wisdom that history provides. I believe that the arena of natural medicine is an excellent vehicle in which we can integrate these principles. I hope you'll agree!
