15 Perennial herbs to grow in your survival garden by: Olivia Cook
Wednesday, March 01, 2023 – (Natural News) Seasoned preppers grow a variety of perennial plants that are edible and medicinal. Perennial plants, or perennials, are herbs and veggies that you need to plant only once but can harvest forever.
The best thing about perennials is that as long as you keep them well-mulched and in organic matter-rich soil, they’ll pretty much take care of themselves – giving you a low-maintenance way to continually increase your food supplies.

Popular processed oils linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease and other serious health issues by: Olivia Cook
Wednesday, March 01, 2023 – (Natural News) Processed seed and vegetable oils – such as soy, canola, sunflower, corn, peanut, grapeseed and safflower – are ubiquitous in the American diet. These oils have also been linked to various health issues, with a growing body of research backing it up.
Ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe expounded on the dangers of these oils in a presentation he delivered at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in Colorado. According to Knobbe, the founder of the nonprofit Cure AMD Foundation, the proliferation of seed and vegetable oils in Western diets is nothing short of a “global human experiment … without informed consent.”
First, he cited that the high consumption of omega-6 fatty acid, a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), can negate the positive effect of the healthier omega-3 fatty acids. The latter can be found in fatty fish, walnuts and chia seeds. Meanwhile, seed oils are abundant sources of omega-6.
Compound in wakame seaweed found to have anticancer properties by: Ramon Tomey
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 – (Natural News) Wakame seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) is a staple in the Japanese diet, often served alone as a side dish or mixed in soups and stews. However, a compound in this seaweed has been discovered to exhibit cancer-fighting properties.
An April 2020 study published in Marine Drugs elaborated on this compound called fucoidan, which wakame is a well-known source of. Aside from wakame, the study mentioned that other marine invertebrates such as the Japanese sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) and the tubular sea cucumber (Holothuria tubulosa) are also sources of fucoidan.
The study authors from three universities in Chile found that fucoidan prevents metastasis – the spread of cancer cells from a tumor site to other parts of the body – by binding to the receptors outside of these cells. With fucoidan binding to the cancer cell receptors, their possibility of breaking away from the primary tumor and settling in a different part of the body decreases.
Disease-carrying deer ticks in Pennsylvania park can spread potentially fatal neurological virus, warn experts by: Zoey Sky
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 – (Natural News) In January 2022, a Pennsylvania park recorded the highest-ever concentration of ticks carrying a variant of deer-tick virus (DTV).
DTV may cause deadly infections with lasting neurological effects. Officials have also expressed concern that deer-tick virus and other serious tick-borne illnesses may become more common in the future.
Black-legged ticks spread Powassan virus
Infected female black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) that bite humans transmit Powassan virus. Between 2008 and 2017, the majority of Powassan virus cases were diagnosed in and around the Great Lakes region.
The virus has two lineages, one of which is the deer-tick virus. It was first identified in 1952.
Many cases of Powassan virus are asymptomatic, but symptomatic cases can be deadly, reported the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Powassan virus may cause initial symptoms like fever, headache and vomiting. The most severe cases can involve neurological complications such as encephalitis or inflammation of the brain and meningitis.
According to data, at least one in 10 neuro-invasive cases of Powassan virus are fatal. At least 50 percent of the survivors of these cases experience long-term neurological health impacts. (Related: Hiking danger: Powassan virus is a rare but real threat.)
Cahlen Lee shares tips on how to detoxify dioxins using food and nutrition by: Kevin Hughes
Wednesday, March 01, 2023 – (Natural News) Podcaster Cahlen Lee recently shared tips on how to detoxify dioxins in a video posted on his Brighteon.com channel.
Lee’s video came following the train disaster and chemical spill that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio. The decision to burn the vinyl chloride that spilled on the ground triggered one of the worst environmental disasters in America as it created dioxins – the most toxic compound mankind has ever created.
