July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month and the Arthritis Foundation is focusing on heightening awareness of early signs and symptoms and the resources available for families. Often a child complaining of achy joints is diagnosed as having “growing pains,” a phenomenon believed to be the result of the natural growth process. Now it’s known that joint pain, stiffness and swelling in or around the joint may be early signs of a serious, inflammatory rheumatic disease, according to a news release from the Arthritis Foundation.  “ Parents should be aware that juvenile arthritis is not rare. If a child is limping on a regular basis, or having pain and swelling of any joint, it would be important to get evaluated by a doctor. It is also important to note that lab values can be normal, and that still doesn’t rule out juvenile arthritis,” says Pediatric Rheumatologist Dr. Ankur Kamdar, assistant professor of pediatrics at The University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHealth). “Ea...

My herbal healing state of mind thought about two blood cleansing herbs; Red Clover and Burdock root. What is Red Clover? Red clover is a wild plant belonging to the legume family. Cattle and other animals graze on red clover.

Modern scientific tests have shown that red clover contains isoflavones, plant-based chemicals that produce estrogen ...

The origin of toothpaste can be dated back to 300/500 BC, according to a history website. It first came into existence as a dental cream as it was claimed it could cure certain types of pin in the mouth. In the attempts there was use of abrasives such as crushed egg, oyster shells as well as crushed bones. There were used to clean teeth and the first advancement to be noted was use of tooth powders. This took place in China and India as the history of tooth paste is traced back there. At some point some genius decided to “improve” toothpaste by adding poisonous chemicals like: Formaldehyde That same ingredient that coroners can’t live without can be found inside of your toothpaste tube. Formaldehyde kills all of those small bacteria that climb onto your teeth after eating or sleeping. If a large amount of formaldehyde is accidentally ingested, the result could be fatal. Severe formaldehyde ingestion results in jaundice, kidney damage, liver damage, and death. Detergent ...

What are food dyes? Artificial dyes are found in thousands of foods — Fruity Pebbles, gummy bears, soda, vitamins, you name it — and some sources estimate their consumption has increased500 percent in the past 50 years. That bag of skittles may be a go-to movie theater snack, but take one look at the label and taste a rainbow of lab-made colors from Red 40 to Yellow 5 to Blue 1. In The FDA has banned specific artificial colors in the past, but plenty remain approved and on the market. Is it safe to eat all those artificially bright foods just because they look pretty?
