Beware: This Vaccine Is Destroying Women’s Ovaries and Reproductive System
According to the CDC, HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is not only the most commonly transmitted sexual infection in the world, but nearly all men and women will have at least 1 of the more than 150 types of HPV that are known to exist at some point. 9 out of 10 of these forms of HPV are cured naturally by the body within two years (with most people not even knowing they have it). Unfortunately, the 1 out of 10 have been associated with devastating cancers (there are over 37,000 reported HPV related cancers in the US alone per year) and morbidity’s (like warts). The most common way to spread or contract HPV is through sexual contact (penetration is not necessary as it often lives on pubic hair. For this reason, it can also be contracted from toilet seats and by wearing clothes from someone infected (even trying on clothes at a store). The FDA has approved 2 vaccines to protect against HPV contraction (Cervarix and Gardasil). Unfortunately, these vaccines have caused more problems then they may be worth. Let me explain.

20 Reasons to Use Thyme Essential Oil instead of Medication
Essential oils carry biologically active volatile compounds in a highly concentrated form that can provide therapeutic benefits in very small amounts. One such oil is thyme oil, which is derived from steam distillation of fresh thyme flowers and leaves.
Thyme, a member of the mint family, has a sweet, earthy flavor that lends itself well to cooking. Hippocrates, the “father of medicine,” counted thyme as a culinary herb,1 although it was used also used as a form of medicine in ancient times, particularly for respiratory conditions. According to the American Botanical Council:2
“The ancient Sumerians and Egyptians used thyme as a medicine and to embalm the dead. The ancient Romans used thyme to flavor cheese and alcoholic beverages, burned it to deter wild animals, and bathed in it to ‘provide vigor.’ Medieval women embroidered thyme on gifts for knights.”
17 Times the calcium of milk and 25 times the iron of spinach, This Mighty Tree Does Wonders for your body
Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing tree native to South Asia and now found throughout the tropics. Its leaves have been used as part of traditional medicine for centuries, and the Ayurvedic system of medicine associates it with the cure or prevention of about 300 diseases.
Moringa, sometimes described as the “miracle tree,” “drumstick tree,” or “horseradish tree,” has small, rounded leaves that are packed with an incredible amount of nutrition: protein, calcium, beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium… you name it, moringa’s got it. No wonder it’s been used medicinally (and as a food source) for at least 4,000 years.2
The fact that moringa grows rapidly and easily makes it especially appealing for impoverished areas, and it’s been used successfully for boosting nutritional intake in Malawi, Senegal, and India. In these areas, moringa may be the most nutritious food locally available, and it can be harvested year-round.
Personally, I grew a moringa tree for two years and I can attest to the fact that it grows like a weed. For those living in third-world countries, it may very well prove to be a valuable source of nutrition.
