Something is "off" about the Artemis Astronauts

NY Times: Artemis II Crew Reunites With Families and Fellow NASA Astronauts

The four astronauts made an emotional return to Houston a day after splashing down in the Pacific Ocean at the end of their 10-day lunar journey.

Analysis by

The April Fool's Day mission of Artemis II ended with a "splash" in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of San Diego. Allegedly, the 20,000 pound capsule -- upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 mph reaching temperatures of 5000 °F -- gradually, over the course of about 12 minutes, was slowed down to 350 mph by atmospheric pressure before deploying its initial parachutes. A sophisticated "melt away" heat shield and strong Kevlar cables protected the 4-person crew. Color me skeptical (to put it mildly)!

Lavender has been used for medicinal purposes for over 2,500 years. Today lavender is the most popular essential oil in the world. Here are just 7 proven uses for this amazing oil

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been used for medicinal purposes for over 2,500 years especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

Ancient Persians, Greeks, and Romans added lavender flowers to their bathwater. The name itself comes from the Latin “lavare” meaning to wash. The Egyptians used lavender as a perfume, as well as for mummification.

Today lavender is the most popular essential oil in the world. Compounds contained in the oil have antifungal, antimicrobial, and antibiotic effects.

Scientific studies back up the wisdom of the ancients. Here are just 7 evidence-based uses for lavender essential oil:

Researchers warn that a common industrial chemical is raising Parkinson’s risk

 by: Edit Lang, staff writer | April 12, 2026

(NaturalHealth365)  Most people assume Parkinson’s disease is primarily genetic.  But, a major nationwide study published in Neurology in October 2025 challenges that assumption significantly.

Researchers at the Barrow Neurological Institute analyzed data from 221,789 people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s and more than 1.1 million matched controls – all Medicare beneficiaries aged 67 and older.  They mapped each person’s residential exposure to a single industrial chemical and found a clear, dose-dependent pattern: the more exposure, the higher the risk.

Research confirms a striking brain chemistry difference in people with anxiety

 by: Wendy Miller, staff writer | April 13, 2026

(NaturalHealth365)  Anxiety disorders affect approximately 30% of American adults, making them the most common mental illness in the country.  For decades, treatment has centered almost entirely on pharmaceutical intervention.  But, a new analysis published in Molecular Psychiatry in 2025 points toward a nutritional dimension that most psychiatrists have never discussed with their patients.

But now, a game-changing discovery is finally leveling the playing field, as more and more women learn to fight back against their body’s “aging switch.”

Try This 5-Step Stress-Releasing Sleeping Routine for Deep Relaxation and Good Sleep

 Author: Trisha Houghton, CNS, ASIST

 Medically reviewed by: Tricia Pingel, NMD

Stress is pretty much a part of all our lives! Much as we wish it were otherwise, our responsibilities at home and at work can place a load of stress on our shoulders that just gets heavier with every passing day.

Worse, that stress can start to affect the rest of our lives. Stress suppresses our immune systems and makes us more vulnerable to disease. Stress impairs our mood and makes us more prone to anxiety and depression. Stress can even affect our sleep quality, making it harder to not only fall asleep at night, but also get a proper night of rest. That’s when things really start to go wrong, because your body will begin to shut down without enough sleep!

But did you know that a relaxing bedtime routine can help to remove stress from your night? Try this simple five-step sleeping routine to relax, wash away the stress, and get ready for a good night of rest:

Desperation Mode? Ukraine Strikes Russian Energy Hub in Attempt to Drag Europe Into Prolonged War By Uriel Araujo Global Research, April 10, 2026

While the global spotlight has been on the volatile aftermath of the Iran ceasefire (already broken by Israel), another underreported and yet dangerous enough escalation is unfolding in Eastern Europe. Ukraine’s recent claim that it struck Russia’s largest oil transshipment terminal, Transneft-Baltik, signals not only a widening of the battlefield but also a deliberate attempt to further internationalize the conflict.

Gallbladder removal triggers multi-organ consequences that persist for more than a decade

 by: Edit Lang, staff writer | April 10, 2026

(NaturalHealth365)  Surgeons perform nearly 934,000 gallbladder surgeries in the United States every year.  Across North America, about 9.9% of the population has undergone a cholecystectomy – the surgical removal of the gallbladder.

Doctors often tell patients the procedure is routine.  Recovery is straightforward, and life typically returns to normal quickly.  A growing body of research tells a more complicated story.

Major study confirms that nearly 4 in 10 cancers worldwide are linked to factors most people can change

 by: News Staff | April 11, 2026

(NaturalHealth365)  Most people assume that cancer is largely a matter of genetics and bad luck.  A sweeping new global analysis published in Nature Medicine in February 2026 makes a strong case that this assumption costs lives.  Researchers examined 18.7 million new diagnoses from 2022 across 185 countries and 36 cancer types.  They found that 7.1 million of those cases – 37.8% – tied directly to 30 factors people can change.

In North America, more than one in three diagnoses are linked to modifiable risk factors.  Among men in East Asia, the figure reached 57.2%.

Part 2: The Untold Story That Could Transform Our Understanding of Healing

Part I of this series can be found here. Crystal Healing: New Age Hoax or Leading Edge Science?

In June 1987, in a darkened West German lab, two worlds met. Marcel Vogel--IBM luminary with 32 patents--joined biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp, discoverer of the cell's coherent light. That day, Vogel set aside his corporate legacy of magnetic coatings and liquid crystals to test what many dismissed as New Age myth. When he pressed a precisely cut quartz crystal to a cucumber seedling under Popp's photon counter, the plant's light emission leapt 20%. In that moment, ancient lore, cutting-edge physics, and the subtle light of life converged--hinting that crystals may be more than ornaments, but biological interfaces bridging consciousness, matter, and energy.

Why “cage-free” eggs are a SCAM — Plus the type of eggs that have 10x to 22x more omega-3s

I’m always amazed how many people overlook the importance of what an animal was fed and how that relates to the nutritional benefits of that food.

Eggs are a perfect example.

As you probably know, our egg supply in the US comes mostly from factory-farmed chickens that not only live in horrendously unhealthy conditions for the chicken, but also fed an unnatural diet of grains that SEVERELY affects the nutritional qualities of the eggs for your health.

Onions & your gut health, longevity, cancer, and more!

 By: Catherine Ebeling & Mike Geary

Co-author of the best-sellers:  The Fat Burning Kitchen, The Top 101 Foods that Fight Aging & The Diabetes Fix

The overlooked and much maligned onion has been around since ancient times and was most likely a dietary staple of our prehistoric ancestors.  It is often avoided because of its pungent odor and taste, along with the after effect of “onion” breath. The strong smell and taste come from the Sulphur-containing compounds in onions which are also responsible for the amazing health benefits in onions.

Onions don’t usually get the spotlight for being a glamorous and trendy ‘superfood’, but surprisingly enough, the humble onion is most definitely a superfood in its own right. You know the saying, “An apple a day…”, well it should be, “An onion a day keeps the doctor away!”

Modern science now confirms why humans have been practicing yoga since the beginning of recorded history: it is good both for the body and mind

There is evidence in the archeological record that yoga has been practiced by humans for at least 5,000 years. Whereas this would constitute sufficient evidence for most folks to consider it a practice with real health benefits, as its millions of practitioners widely claim, skeptics say otherwise. They require any activity deemed to be of therapeutic value run the gauntlet of randomized, controlled clinical trials before it is fully accepted within the conventional medical system.

7 Signs You May be Insulin Resistant (Pre-Diabetes)

Insulin resistance is a danger signal you should NOT ignore.

What is insulin resistance?

Our bodies were made to handle only 4 teaspoons of sugar (glucose) at a time. So, when you eat a high-carb meal, snack on sugary, starchy foods, or chug down a soda with sugar, your glucose goes up. Glucose is extremely damaging to the body, so the pancreas pumps out insulin. Insulin grabs onto the glucose in the blood and escorts it into the cells, where it’s used for energy or converted to fat and stored.
