What you don't know about your food may hurt you

The movement is on against GMO foods. GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. GMO foods are “foods” that usually have genes from bacteria or fungi added. The point is that because of these genetic mutations, GMO crops can tolerate extremely high amounts of chemicals, such as herbicides and pesticides, without damage. So when you’re eating GMO foods, you’re getting a double whammy.

Warning: Don’t treat sinus infections with antibiotics

Orthodox medicine insists antibiotics are the only effective way to treat sinus infections. But a new study says this isn’t true. In fact, it says antibiotics are completely ineffective.

In this study, researchers conducted a randomized, controlled trial of 166 adults with acute rhinosinusitis. They treated them at 10 community practices in Missouri.

They gave the patients either a 10-day course of amoxicillin (1,500 mg/day) or a placebo at three doses per day.
