There is a growing body of research that Big Pharma is trying to keep under wraps and hide from you that reveals the threat medical marijuana poses. These multi-billion dollar drug companies are doing anything and everything they can to prevent the legalization of medical marijuana, but the reasons behind this are not necessarily in the public’s best interests.

As it turns out, they are desperately trying to hold onto their place in the market, and the profits that come with it, even if it’s at the expense of thousands of American lives. Because it appears that in states where medical marijuana is legal, people are turning to it as their medication of choice, over painkillers and other prescription drugs.

This is happening so much so, in fact, that the pharmaceutical industry could end up losing a lot of money should the legalization be rolled out any further. Surprisingly, it is not health that is at the heart of this issue, rather, profits.

The Research

In groundbreaking research by father-daughter team Ashley and W. David Bradford, at the University of Georgia, it was revealed just how big of an impact medical marijuana is having on prescribed drug use.

The study also bridged the gap in the understanding of why people are buying marijuana from dispensaries – before there were questions as to whether it was being used for the right reasons, but this study was able to show that people are indeed turning to pot as a viable medical alternative to prescription-based medication.  Continue reading →

If you don’t already strip down for bed time, you might want to rethink that! According to experts, sleeping naked is not only super comfortable, but better for your health!

While sleeping naked helps regulate your temperature and prevents you from waking up at weird hours in the morning, it also helps keep bacteria that love warm moist areas away. Sleeping nude with your partner has also been found to boost your immune system!

According to a poll from the National Sleep Foundation, only 12% of Americans actually sleep naked every night. Doctors and researchers both recommend it highly as our bodies are designed to decrease in temperature while we sleep which keeps us comfortable throughout the night, this decrease helps our bodies determine when to fall asleep and when to wake up. Warmer skin has been found to disrupt sleep in humans and animals.

Published in the journal Brain: ‘By employing a thermosuit to control skin temperature during nocturnal sleep, we demonstrate that induction of a mere 0.4 degrees C increase in skin temperature, whilst not altering core temperature, suppresses nocturnal wakefulness (P<0.001) and shifts sleep to deeper stages (P<0.001) in young and, especially, in elderly healthy and insomniac participants,’

The benefits of sleeping in the nude don’t end there, it’s been found to help increase metabolism too! The healthy fat found around your neck is activated when you sleep in cooler temperatures, this good fat generates body heat and that helps you burn calories.

Almost inevitably, conflict and arguments will break out between even the most important and loved figures in our lives. The unfortunate truth is that many of us have been burdened with a broken relationship with the people who raised us (or didn’t) for years. That’s not what we’re talking about here.

When there is serious tension in a relationship, you don’t need a list of symptoms to know that you need to heal and detox the relationship. However,most people can miss the subtle signs that beneath the bond shared with your parents lies a broken element- something that doesn’t fit.

You can choose to ignore the red flags and end up having a decent relationship with mom and dad for years. But the truth is, you will never reach a fulfilling and healthy relationship unless you address these things. We believe that it’s worth it.

1. You Always Want Them Around

Your parents are precious to you, and even more so when you’re an adult. But, if you find yourself automatically depending on them to help with daily tasks like babysitting, fixing things around the house, lending money, or calming you down during a stressful time, it’s possible you’re still carrying around the old dynamics of a parent-child relationship.

If you’re married or in a relationship, your partner should be your emotional support, not them. Continue reading →
