POPSAloe Vera, real or fiction? "THE BOTTOM LINE? Inconclusive. Studies of aloe vera’s effect on burns have produced conflicting findings." Maybe its power lies in what people believe it to be doing, which by itself can have healing powers... ;-)

POPSBacteria and Us when Fleming finally introduced penicillin in 1945, we went crazy with joy and began to slather everything with antibiotics, especially ourselves. Now we are paying our dues for that overreaction." Callahan points out that there are more bacteria by far in this world than any other living thing. "We are a minority on this planet, and we must learn how to work with the majority," he said.

POPSThe Collapse of "Irreducible Complexity" Against such a backdrop, the struggles of the intelligent design movement are best understood as clamorous and disappointing double failures – rejected by science because they do not fit the facts, and having failed religion because they think too little of God. As an icon of anti-evolution, the flagellum has fallen. This is not news. Irreducible complexity as an argument for íntelligent design has been debunked for quite some time, but some fanatical anti-evolutionists are apparently still desperate for this to be "proof" of the existance of God. It isn't. The article will explain why.

POPSMost flu shots contain mercury A typical 0.5 milliliter flu shot contains 25 micrograms - or 50,000 parts per billion - of mercury. The EPA classifies a liquid with 200 parts per billion of mercury as hazardous waste. The limit for drinking water is 2 parts per billion. I think it would be well worth the negligible extra cost to get the thimerosal-free shot.

POPSToo clean? Fight against germs fuels allergy increase From the article: From the constant use of anti-bacterial soap for dish- and hand-washing to air-tight seals around doors and windows, some modern homes have become shrines to hygiene. Add vaccinations and antibiotics to the mix and the body's immune system can get too much artificial reprieve from nature. "The natural immune system does not have as much to do as it did 50 years ago, because we've increased our efforts to protect our children from dirt and germs," McMorris said in a statement released this month. Plus, the atrophy of family size means children get exposed to fewer germs than the more kid-filled homes of yesteryear. Families with three or more children, a dynamic that was common decades ago, tend to have fewer allergies as they are exposed to more bacteria- and virus-harboring siblings, McMorris said

POPSMother Nature holds all the secrets If modern man wouldn't have turned away from Mother nature in the first place we wouldn't have half the disease's we do(mainly the evil cancer). When your body has an ache, pain or symptom of something, it doesn't mean take drugs...its a sign that your body is lacking something it needs, something from the earth.
