He explained the fact that babies, no matter how small, most…
The me-centered mindset of LGBTQP cultists knows no bounds, as homosexual men in the United Kingdom are now knowingly contaminating the blood donor supply with their tainted blood in order to selfishly achieve what they perceive and demand as “equality” with non-LGBTQPs.

Twenty years ago, I remember telling a physician friend of mine that China was harvesting organs from political prisoners. The doctor — a wine-drinking liberal academic — scoffed at the idea and claimed that if something like that were going on, he would have heard about it by now. (This is how doctors think. If they don’t discover information first, they discount anyone else bringing it to them.) Now, twenty years later, an independent tribunal has unanimously concluded that organ harvesting in communist China takes place on “a significant scale.” “Forced organ harvesting has been committed for years throughout China…

The global population is booming, cities are expanding at a rapid pace, and there is no end in sight to the trend of urbanization. One of the results of all this growth and development is air pollution, where chemicals and other pollutants build up in the air and pose a serious danger to human health. Lung diseases and impaired lung capacity can often result from exposure to this type of pollution. There are also large segments of the population who deal with other issues that impair their lung capacity, including chronic asthma, cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).…
If you’ve got high blood pressure, conventional wisdom says to watch your salt intake. This advice has many people reducing the salt they add to dishes while cooking and eating.

According to Dr. Bindiya Gandhi, M.D., an American Board Family Medicine-certified physician, the best kind of fiber is what’s found naturally in food. Whether it’s the insoluble fiber found in things like bran and psyllium husk, or the…
