My Thanksgiving wish for all readers is that society everywhere can come to the realization that food really is medicine for the body, mind and even our spirit. Eating wholesome, clean, non-GMO foods is the best thing we can do to maintain our children's and our own health and wellbeing.
The Institute for Responsible Technology produced the following 4 minute video which ought to impress upon everyone the importance of a non-GMO diet and lifestyle.

On Monday (Nov. 21) evening, the ambulance service in Melbourne, called Ambulance Victoria, received more than 1,800 calls during the storm, which is about six times more than usual, according to the BBC.
About 200 calls were for cases of asthma, and 600 calls were for people with breathing difficulties, Mick Stephenson, executive director of emergency operations at Ambulance Victoria, told the BBC. "A lot of people who called last night had never had asthma before," Stephenson was quoted as saying. There were also two deaths from asthma during the storm.

Bad postures and sedentary lifestyles have led to a rise in the number of younger people experiencing complaints such as back pain and haemorrhoids, according to analysis by Bupa.
Data from more than 60,000 medical procedures in 2015 was compiled by the private healthcare group.
It found treatment traditionally offered to older generations was increasingly being sought by younger people, aged mainly between 25 and 45 - a shift it attributed to time spent sitting at desks, watching box sets and using smartphones and tablets.
Removal of haemorrhoids and varicose veins were two of the most common procedures in the heart and circulatory diseases category for both 26 to 35-year-olds and 36 to 45-year-olds.
Candida albicans
While I personally believe candida to be a catch all diagnosis that is often incorrect, especially when self diagnosed, it is something that comes up frequently when I meet people.
Are candida and histamine a related issue?
Yes.
Will treating Candida help resolve histamine intolerance/excess histamine/mast cell activation?
Possibly.
Are there natural treatments available?

Now, Leblanc tries to stay active in the daytime, fending off drowsiness by riding his bike around Pensacola, Florida,and playing with his dog Dallas, a 10-year-old Chorkie (Yorkshire terrier/Chihuahua mix). A member of the Early-Stage Advisory Group for the Alzheimer's Association, he gives presentations a few times a month to raise awareness of the disease and advocate on behalf of patients. In the evening, he dims the alarm clock and cable router lights in his bedroom. Now he sleeps soundly. When he awakens, his mind feels sharper, his mood brighter. Spending time in the sun makes him "come alive," he says. "It gives me a new outlook on the day."

Scientists have long questioned whether and how physical activity affects mental health. While we know that exercise alters the body, how physical activity affects moods and emotions is less well understood.
Past studies have sometimes muddied rather than clarified the body and mind connections. Some randomized controlled trials have found that exercise programs, often involving walking, ease symptoms in people with major depression.
In the new study, carried out in laboratory animal models, the research team noticed that Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFAS) stimulate the activation of brown and beige adipose tissue through a specific receptor (GPR120), which enables the release of the hormone FGF21 (21 fibroblast growth factor). This hormone, built by the adipocyte, is a molecule that regulates lipid glucose and metabolism and therefore, it is an effective target for the action mechanism of Omega-3.
"This discovery has implications in the understanding of the positive effects of n-3 PUFAS on the control of metabolic diseases and other aspects regarding the treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes," says Professor Francesc Villarroya, member of the Institute of Biomedicine of the University of Barcelona (IBUB) and head of the Research Group in Genetics and Molecular Biology of Mitochondrial Proteins and Associated Diseases.

If accepted, the proposed changes would force all school students from kindergarten to Year 12 to provide their school with a certificate showing they were vaccinated.
Students who failed to provide the information, or were not vaccinated, could be forced to stay home for up to two weeks if there was an outbreak of a serious disease.
Dr Vicky Sheppeard, director of communicable diseases with NSW Health, said the proposed rules would only apply on "very rare" occasions.
"The last time it happened was in 2012 when we had an outbreak of measles affecting high schools," she said.
"At that time, we didn't have powers that enabled us to exclude unvaccinated children to help control the outbreak."
Comment: The pharmaceutical cartel's undue influence on local governments is stealthily removing the rights of parents to protect their children from the potentially devastating impact of vaccines, despite overwhelming evidence that the vaccines themselves spread disease:
- Whistleblowers tell the truth about vaccine safety and effectiveness
- Is your vaccinated child 'hazardous material'?
- How vaccinated kids infect the non-vaccinated
- The vaccinated spreading measles according to WHO, Merck, CDC documents
- Why vaccines spread disease and vaccine science is flawed
- Independent research demonstrates conclusively that unvaccinated children enjoy far superior health than those vaccinated
© Anindito Mukherjee / Reuters Researchers have developed a way to remove cellular damage that accumulates with aging.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of California Los Angeles and the California Institute of Technology, developed a new approach to remove mutated DNA from mitochondria, the small organelles that produce most of the chemical energy within a cell.
Each cell in a person's body has hundreds of thousands of mitochondria, each of which carries its own small circular DNA genome, called mtDNA. The products of mtDNA are essential for energy production. But because mtDNA has limited repair abilities, both normal and mutant versions of it are often found in the same cell - a condition known as heteroplasmy.
Comment: Fortunately there are interventions we can initiate on our own to protect vulnerable mtDNA and keep aging processes in check:
