What Is Saffron Good For?

Saffron is a plant that has numberous benefits, including for health.
Saffron belongs to the iris family, and has had a plethora of uses throughout millennia. As far back as the writings of Galen and Hippocrates, saffron was mentioned as a medical treatment for coughs, colds, stomach ailments, insomnia, uterine bleeding, scarlet fever, heart trouble, and flatulence.

Naturally, one of saffron’s first uses may have been for dyeing textiles, since a single grain can color 10 gallons of water with a distinctive yellow hue. More than a grain is used, however, to color the bright orange robes worn by Buddhist priests in India. Three wispy saffron "threads" can be gleaned from each delicate crocus, which, ironically, is lavender-purple in color. Read more

Vitamin C Deficiency Remains Hidden as Major Cause of Heart Attacks

Vitamin C deficiency remains hidden as a major cause of heart attacks, says Bill Sardi.
Researchers claim they have found why humans, but not other animals, are prone to heart attacks.

Iodine Deficiency 2019: The Disaster Continues

Dr. David Brownstein examines the continuing disaster of iodine deficiency.
In medical school, I was taught that iodine deficiency was a thing of the past. It took me a short time into my holistic practice of medicine to realize that what I was taught about iodine was incorrect. In fact, I have been writing about iodine and its importance to health for nearly 15 years. When I started researching iodine in the late 1990s, I was shocked to discover that iodine deficiency was still occurring across the United States. When I began testing my patient’s iodine levels I found the vast majority—over 97%–were iodine deficient and most were severely iodine deficient. Read more
