Honey and cinnamon’s combined effects are proven and recognized as valid for several health issues including cancer and arthritis…

I know that all of a sudden, BAM, it’s going to get hot here in NYC. Other places in the US are already experiencing scorching temperatures. I am going to be ready this year. And at the top of my list of must-haves to get me through it – COCONUT!

I love coconuts! From coconut water to coconut ice cream, there’s something about them that’s synonymous with hot weather. As always, Mother Nature has provided a good reason.

Ayurveda classifies coconuts as a cooling food (a fruit, botanically speaking). So eating/drinking coconut and its liquid is pure gold for people with Pitta dosha, especially during Pitta Season. Vatas can feel free to enjoy them also during the hot summer months, but coconuts are generally on the avoid list for Kaphas, so be prudent if you do indulge.

Here are a few brief notes about A People’s Hearing, held on 10 May 2014, in Greene County, Ohio, The Indivisible Living Entity of the Planet Earth v. Monsanto Corporation, Defendant.

For many, water becomes their very first prep. By that I mean that steps are taken to either purchase a supply of bottled water, set up a water barrel, or locate a source of local water that can be filtered and purified for consumption. Before you jump feet first into setting up a water storage system, take heed of these five myths of water storage.

Remember the GMO rat study finding that rats fed GMOs developed tumors and died prematurely? After Seralini’s long term toxicity study results were publicized with displays of rats showing huge tumors, a tsunami of outrage from pro-GMO related scientists got favorable mainstream media (MSM) press. The hundreds of scientists who defended Seralini’s work were ignored. Many fence sitters were left confused and willing to side with the barking dogs of the biotechnology industry.

Activity on the Sun is sparking lightning strikes here on Earth, a study suggests. Scientists have found that when gusts of high-speed solar particles enter our atmosphere, the number of lightning bolts increases.

Finding a way to replace regular, concrete roads with ones that could better serve a sustainable world has long been Scott and Julie Brusaw’s dream. The couple’s Solar Roadways project, which aims to replace traditional asphalt and concrete roadways with solar panels that are covered with four-square-foot glass hexagon panels. The glass panels are designed not only to withstand the heaviest of trucks, but are also textured, encouraging tires to grip the surface and water to run off. The solar panels underneath generate energy from the sun, which can not only power nearby communities, but also the electric vehicles that drive above them.

Scientists have discovered that it is possible to induce lucid dreaming in sleepers by applying mild electrical currents to their scalps, a study says. Lucid dreaming is when a sleeper recognizes they are dreaming and may even be able to manipulate the dream’s plot and control their behaviour.

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which holds enough water to raise global seas by several feet, is thinning. Scientists have been warning of its collapse, based on theories, but with few firm predictions or timelines.

Scientists in the Philippines have discovered a plant that can absorb large amounts of metal without itself being poisoned, a species called the Rinorea niccolifera, that can be used to clean up polluted soils and harvest commercially viable metals. The plant is one of only 450 species, known as hyperaccumulator plants, of 300,000 known vascular plants that can absorb significant amounts of metal though their roots.

While in San Francisco for the New Living Expo, Alexis sat down with legendary social activist, nutritionist, author and comedian Dick Gregory  This is an exclusive presentation of Conscious Life News! While in San Francisco for the New Living Expo I had the distinct pleasure of spending some time with social activist, nutritionist, author and […]

The Argentinian economy struggles under an absurd level of money printing with painfully high unemployment and inflation. Once peaceful citizens are taking matters into their own hands, roaming the streets in lynch gangs.

Globalist advisor to 5 US Presidents Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book titled “The Grand Chessboard” laid out a plan for global hegemony, even listing those countries that need to be subjugated as the imperialists surround the powers of Russia and China. Interestingly, they include not just the Middle Eastern countries we’ve already seen toppled, but he particularly and ultimately targets the strategic Eurasian region surrounding Russia, including Ukraine.

By Omar Cherif What I found quite interesting as well is how Freemasonry and the occults have always been rooted in Egyptian and Babylonian mysticism, and the glorious Great Pyramid of course. Free Masons hold seasonal, semi-secretive gatherings at the pyramid because they believe in its power, while the Illuminati’s symbol is the singular eye […]

If you don’t live in the United States, you should still read this article because the same court system that has enslaved Americans is basically the same justice system that has enslaved most Western countries and some Eastern countries. Most Americans and foreigners believe that the United States is a country. In law terms, the phrase “United States” refers to a corporation. The original name of this country is called the United States of America.

Heavy distortions and suppressions of information regarding current Ukrainian events are appearing in US media. You might wonder how so many different news sources could all completely avoid mentioning that the US government is consciously supporting two radical far-right parties, Svoboda and Right Sector, which are in control of key positions in the coup-installed new ‘government’ of the Ukraine. You might also wonder why almost all the US mass media news sources could conceal – with vague phrases like ”the sequence of events is not clear’ and similar techniques – the role of these extremist organization in murdering dozens of unarmed civilians in the past few days in southeastern Ukraine. The explanation is surprisingly simple: There aren’t numerous US mass media news sources at all; there are just five. Five giant corporations control 90 percent of US mass media. And direct links connect all five of these media conglomerates to the political establishment and the economic and political power-elites of the United States.

Glenn Greenwald reflects on the Pulitzer Prize, adversarial journalism and the corporate media’s response to his reporting on Edward Snowden’s leaked National Security Agency documents. “We knew that once we started publishing not one or two stories, but dozens of stories … that not just the government, but even fellow journalists were going to start to look at what we were doing with increasing levels of hostility and to start to say, ‘This doesn’t actually seem like journalism anymore,’ because it’s not the kind of journalism that they do,” Greenwald says. “It doesn’t abide by these unspoken rules that are designed to protect the government.”

If you think your messages to your Facebook friends are private, think again. The social network announced that it has plans to look at your personal conversations as a way to make more profits from targeted advertising. Facebook has been a leader in data-mining, taking information from people’s profiles and studying their behavior to make money and improve the website. But its decision to delve into private content marks the next frontier for Big Data. Silicon Valley and big businesses alike have become increasingly reliant on data mining, which can predict election outcomes based on social media posts, or make a connection between what words people use and the weather

The Internet’s Own Boy, a public-funded documentary about Aaron Swartz, the late computer prodigy and digital-rights activist, is set for release. The co-founder of the popular social networking service Reddit fought for a free and open Internet. But a US government case against the programmer is thought to have driven him to suicide at the age of 26. RT’s Marina Portnaya talked to the director of the documentary, Brian Knappenberger, about Swartz’s legacy.

A new report, ‘Freedom of the Press 2014′, says the crackdown on media freedoms around the world has been unrelenting and that global press freedom has “fallen to its lowest level in over a decade,” with major setbacks in places that had been making progress only a few years ago.

A Russian Proton-M rocket with an advanced satellite on board crashed outside of Kazakhstan’s territory on Friday, about nine minutes after lift-off. The Express-AM4R would have been Russia’s most advanced and powerful satellite. The crash was likely caused by a failure in one of the third stage’s steering engines, reported Oleg Ostapenko, the head of the Russian national space agency Roscosmos. But, what caused the failure? Was it hit by something? Watch the three videos below and decide for yourself…

President José Mujica of Uruguay, a 78-year-old former Marxist guerrilla who spent 14 years in prison, mostly in solitary confinement, recently visited the United States to meet with President Obama and speak at a variety of venues. He told students at American University that there are no “just wars.” Whatever the audience, he spoke extemporaneously and with such brutal honesty that it was hard not to love the guy. Here are 10 reasons you, too, should love President Mujica.

What do the Arab Spring, Syrian civil war, Occupy Gezi, and the recent conflicts in the Ukraine, Venezuela, Bosnia and Thailand all have in common? Expensive food… and not much of it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday the May 11 referendum seeking greater autonomy in the Donetsk region of Ukraine should be postponed. Speaking alongside the chairman of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Putin appealed to all sides to seek a dialogue to resolve the crisis and for leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic to postpone the planned vote.
