A Different Take on Health

At Gaia Health, we see health and the world a little differently. They are intertwined, one with the other. We cannot be healthy if the world isn't, and with so many of us in existence, the world cannot be healthy if we aren't. Thus, our name is taken from the image of the earth as a living organism: Gaia.

Here is where you'll find true and honest information about health. At all times, we strive to do honor to Gaia and our place with her. Articles about health have a focus on achieving and maintaining it, rather than on extreme measures that work discordantly with the earth—or don't work at all. To that end, coverage includes issues of the environment and climate change, and as they're relevant, the associated politics.

Sculpture of woman with right & top of head breaking apart Standard Stroke and Heart Attack Treatment Causes Strokes—"A new study has found that giving a blood thinning agent to treat heart attack and stroke patients taking warfarin causes bleeding strokes.

Bowl of miso soup Prevent Heart Disease With Nattokinase or Miso Soup—That delicious bowl of Japanese miso soup might be the key to a healthy heart and circulatory system. Don't be pressured into taking an aspirin a day to prevent heart disease—it doesn't work. However, a derivative from miso soup, nattokinase, will do your heart a world of good, and will do it without risk.
Birth control pills Study's Life Extension Claim for The Pill Adds Up to Only 4-1/2 Hours—The new study that's currently being hyped in the new media as showing that birth control pills improve life expectancy is one of the most twisted pieces of obfuscation I've ever seen. It is the epitome of junk science and the use of statistics to obfuscate, and it's an example of why you should ask who paid for it.
Small boy distanced from the world Big Pharma Blocks Studies of Long Term ADHD Drug Effects While FDA and EMEA Dither—The FDA and EMEA dither while Big Pharma blocks studies into long term effects of ADHD drugs--unless, of course, they're produced by their own pet (and very highly paid) researchers, such as Joseph Biederman, Timothy Wilens and Thomas Spencer. Hanging in the balance are the health and futures of millions of children.
Gamer boys staring with glazed eyes, caption reads 'Is this who runs the FDA?' FDA Issues Secret Warning to Shire for Fraudulently Marketing Drug—Shire Pharmaceutical gave patients of their kidney-failure drug, Fosrenol, a brochure.

The FDA's response was to send Shire a warning letter in secret.
Man and baby sleeping Take a Nap: Prevent Heart Disease and Do Better on School Tests—The quickest and easiest way to improve heart health and get smarter doesn't cost a penny. Just take naps.

Young man yelling, trapped behind glass Antipsychotic Drugs: Never Justified in Children for Any Reason—Antipsychotic drugs cause brain damage. When used over several years, it's almost a sure thing. There is no justification for ever giving these disabling chemicals to any child under any circumstances. Yet, that's exactly what happens every day, and it's done to children for diagnoses of ADHD, mental retardation, and simple misbehavior.
Fingers crossed behind businessman's back Failed Alzheimer's Drug Reveals Pharmaceutical Shell Game—Medivation, a well-financed startup pharmaceutical firm, has failed its first stage III trial for Dimebon, a drug being pitched for Alzheimer's patients. The stock immediately dropped by two-thirds. Before that, the stock had been capitalized to the tune of 1.3 billion (with a b) dollars. Make no mistake about it, this is a money game.
Farmers market veggies Who Does a Food Safety Bill Really Serve?—When was the last time you heard of someone getting sick from food that hadn't been mass produced? Or eating food fresh from an organic garden? Or from a local organic farm? All the stories about unsafe food are the result of factory farming and mass production. But, current plans would push small producers of real food out of business—even criminalize them.
Genetically-modified Amflora potatoes by BASF Europe Approves Antibiotic Resistant Genetically Modified Potato—BASF has managed to gain European Union (EU) approval for its potato, Amflora, genetically engineered for antibiotic resistance. It's not intended for human use. However, the skins are expected to be used in animal feed—and the meats will not have to be labeled as genetically modified or fed GM organisms.
Hypodermic needle on cane for blindness Girl Blinded by Gardasil Vaccination—A 16 year old girl was blinded by a Gardasil vaccination.

Kangaroo with joey in her pocket Kangaroos Dying of Fluoride Poisoning, But Are Levels Safe For Humans?—Kangaroos are starving and dying from tooth and skeletal deformities caused by fluoride poisoning.

Cartoon of man puzzling which poison to take Drug Doesn't Work, You've Failed & Need A Gene Fix: Modern Medicine's View—In a strange twist of logic, scientists have determined Tamoxifen doesn't always work because the patient is at fault.

In this strange new world of medicine, toxic drugs are normal, someone whose body responds different is abnormal, and the 'abnormal' gene must be fixed.
Ancient Homeopathic Medicines The Case For Homeopathic Medicine: The Historical and Scientific Evidence—Skeptics of homeopathy go to incredible extents to exaggerate & misconstrue homeopathic medicine. It's more than a tad ironic that these 'skeptics' holding themselves as 'defenders of medical science' exhibit an embarrassingly poor scientific attitude about what homeopathy is and what the scientific evidence says.
Flying cow (no wings) Engineering Animals to Feel No Pain So We Feel No Guilt—No one wants to consider that the food on the dinner plate lived a life of suffering. In most cases, though, that's exactly what happens. So, now a proposal is in place to genetically engineer feed animals so they don't feel pain. But who actually benefits?

Brian Deer Brian Deer, the Man Whose Claims Led to Dr. Wakefield's Censure, in All His Hubris (video)—Brian Deer, the journalist whose claims about Dr. Wakefield led to his censure by the GMC.

Bowl of corn flakes with poison symbol superimposed The First Line of Defense Against ADHD: Eliminate Grains and Dairy—Modern medicine's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd approach to ADHD has been to push drugs on children.

Frog with golden crown & money grasping on to heart, 'Big Pharma' over frog Statins Prevent Heart Attacks, But Don't Save Lives: The Pseudoscience—Ultimately, when taking a drug that's supposed to save your life, what you care about is whether your life is extended.

Heart in ice dropped in water Statins Increase Risk of Diabetes—A Glasgow metastudy has documented that statins increase the risk of diabetes by 9 percent.

Sanjay Gupta CDC's Gerberding Admits Vaccines can Trigger Autism—On Film!—In an interview with CNN's Sanjay Gupta, CDC Chief Julie Gerberding admitted that vaccines cause autism.

Crazy-looking doctor offering a pill Aspirin Is Ineffective & Dangerous, But Cardiologists Bemoan Patients' Refusal to Use It—With typical hubris, cardiologists are expressing frustration at their inability to get patients to take aspirin as a preventive for heart disease. It is well-documented that only men (not women) who've had heart attacks benefit from taking aspirin, and it causes gastrointestinal bleeding. Could it be that patients know something their doctors don't?
Capsule with Caduceus & Poison Skull Symbols Imprinted Diet Drug Causes Heart Attacks: Europe Bans & U.S. Issues Warning—A drug used for obesity, though it has always been known to have limited benefit and carries the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, is finally being banned in Europe, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is merely putting a warning on it, a move known to have little effect on usage.

Sea shells full of salt and lying on salt Take a Grain of Salt With That Salt Reduction Advice—It's taken as a matter of fact, something so obvious that everyone knows it. Good health and avoiding heart attacks requires low salt intake - and, of course, nearly everyone eats too much. There's just one problem. It's not true.

Ill-appearing woman with 'Out of Order' sign on her forehead Potential Obesity Treatment Will Cause Permanent Exhaustion and Constant Pain—A potential treatment for obesity is being touted as an effortless cure, one that allows people to continue eating and remaining indolent.

Cartoon of perplexed man looking at poison labels. Caption reads 'Just ignore the label, the worst stuff isn't listed anyway.' By Law, Chemical Ingredients Don't Have To Be Listed If It Hurts Profits—Chemical manufacturers' trade secrets take precedence over safety in the United States. That's not mere speculation.

Drawing of a heart New Medical Procedure: Destroying Nerves to Lower Blood Pressure (Part 2, The Hype)—When a new drug or procedure is developed, the single most important factor is selling it to the public.
