The Earth was so young 300 million years ago, the first land animals had yet to evolve into dinosaurs, most scientists believe. If that's the case, how do you explain the discovery in Russia of a piece of a gear shift -- a common machine part -- embedded into a hunk of 300-million-year-old coal. Has this artifact been correctly identified? And if so, who could have made this thing? And for what purpose? According to  Komsomolskaya Pravda , a resident of Vladivostok -- near the borders of China and North Korea -- named Dmitry, recently noticed something odd about a hunk of coal he had obtained to heat his home during the winter. A metallic-looking rail or rod was pressed into the coal, prompting Dmitry to contact biologist Valery Brier, in the seaside Primorye region. Initial examination of the strange object led researchers to assert it looked "very much like a toothed metal rail, created artificially. It was like parts [that] are often used in microscopes, various technical a...

This eight minute song is a beautiful combination of arranged harmonies, rhythms and bass lines and thus helps to slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and lower levels of the stress. The song features guitar, piano and electronic samples of natural soundscapes. A study was conducted on 40 women, who were connected to sensors and had been given challenging puzzles to complete against the clock in order to induce a level of stress. Different songs were then played, to test their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and brain activity. The results showed that the song Weightless was 11 per cent more relaxing than any other song and even caused drowsiness among women in the lab.  It induced a 65 per cent reduction in overall anxiety and brought them to a level 35 per cent lower than their usual resting rates.  Image Source: www.bubblnews.com According to Lyz Cooper, founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy, the song has been created using various scientific theo...

By: Christina Sarich, Natural Society. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are the building blocks of a well functioning brain. Many seniors start to develop cognitive impairment as they age not because they are simply getting older, but because their nutrition is lacking.

This is a clip from the phenomenal  documentary   Samsara , directed by  Ron Fricke .

Chris Wark shares his short and powerful story of how he rejected chemotherapy and survived stage 3 colon cancer.  Chris was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer in 2003, at only 26 years of age. Against his doctor’s advice, he refused chemotherapy as a treatment and went on to clear any remaining cancer from his body by strengthening his immune system with raw plant foods and natural therapies.   Consuming organic whole grains, beans and vegetables rather than processed foods (often filled with toxic chemicals) provides an alternative method to curing cancer. Unfortunately, raw plant foods and natural therapies receive almost zero attention from the medical industry due to its inability to generate a profit.  As a multi-billion dollar industry, the booming business of chemotherapy drowns out the organic and healthy advantages of using a vegan diet as a way to counteract the fatal disease of cancer. And despite providing a cure only 2.1% of the time for adult cancer patien...

Popular actors, actresses and music stars have been known to share some inspirational words. They’ve been known to “hint” at certain things and sometimes go all out and say something that puts their career at risk. We’ve seen it with a number of celebrities from Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, all the way to Charlie Sheen, Kurt Cobain and more. Some have very courageous hearts and were not afraid to hold anything back, risking media ridicule and even death. Recently, at the 2013 teen choice awards, Ashton Kutcher felt the need to share some inspiration that was clearly burning in his heart. We have to remember that this global shift in consciousness is occurring in everybody, it includes those who have been made to be worshipped and  idolized.  It includes those individuals who have been used to promote a certain life-style, and in programming a mass amount of people through television, movies, and mainstream media. Many people believe these individuals to be part ...

Imagine a commercial plane crashed and there were some fatalities involved. You can be sure that would make the headline of every major newspaper. Well, we have the equivalent of 8-10 planes crashing EVERY DAY with everyone on board dying from cancer. Nearly two million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year—one person out of three will be hit with a cancer diagnosis at some time in their lives, in spite of the massive technological advances over the past half-century. Western medicine is no closer to finding a “cancer cure,” while cancer has grown into a worldwide epidemic of staggering proportions. The statistics speak for themselves: In the early 1900s, one in 20 people developed cancer In the 1940s, one in 16 people developed cancer In the 1970s, it was one in 10 Today, it’s one in three! According to the CDC, about 1,660,290 (1.66 million) new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2013 1 . If overall death rates are falling, why are incidence rates still on the rise...
