The remains of 12 buildings cover an area of six hectares, and the entire layout of the settlement is discernible despite the fact it was deserted more than 1,800 years ago.
Earlier remains of up to 40 Anglo Saxon timber buildings are also identifiable, with alleys winding between houses, workshops and agricultural structures.

Google Just Partnered With Mainstream Media to Wipe Independent Journalism Off the Map

5 Ways to Better Absorb Vitamins and Minerals from Your Food
Care2 – You are what you absorb. That includes the good (vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients) and the bad (environmental toxins, food additives, etc). In this article, we will focus on the good; that is, effective ways to better absorb vitamins and minerals.
The amount of vitamins and minerals you absorb from the foods you eat can range from 10 percent to 90 percent! Why is the range so large? Several factors have an impact on the percentage of nutrients you actually get from your food, including (but not limited to): how the food is prepared, any drugs or supplements you may be taking, your age, health status, time of day, and other foods you are eating at the same time.

Super Antioxidant Chaga Mushrooms: Healing Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases
Health Impact News – Anything implying a cancer remedy outside of lucrative orthodox oncology business is controversial. However, in a video interview, integrative M.D. Dr. Issac Eliaz explains how medicinal mushrooms not only regulate the immune system – they “have the intelligence to train the immune system.”
It’s important to understand that chaga doesn’t merely stimulate the immune system, it’s adaptogenic and regulates the immune system according to what’s needed, keeping it from overstimulating and creating a cytokine storm that attacks its host.
Chaga’s adaptogenic immunological responses are able to help reduce inflammation, the physiological foundation of most autoimmune diseases.
Chaga is effective at restoring apoptosis in cancer cells. Apoptosis is programmed cell death that removes older normal cells to be replaced by new ones. Cancer cells don’t ordinarily recognize this normal procedure to make room for new cells to replace older ones. That’s how they survive “eternally.”
With chaga, as with other natural treatments, apoptosis is induced only in cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone.
Using chaga as a daily tea has shown the ability to improve endurance, probably as a result of its flexible adaptogenic immunological properties, which increases muscle glycogen, a glucose formation, and reduces lactic acid, which will inhibit oxygenation for producing energy.
It is also antiviral. One study showed that it greatly reduced the viral load of hepatitis C in vitro (lab cultures) in a very short time. (Study abstract)
Chaga is a super antioxidant. It has the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity) among high antioxidant superfoods. (Source)
It’s many attributes make it a highly medicinal mushroom whether used as an adjunct with other natural cancer remedies, a survival support with conventional cancer therapies, a support for autoimmune diseases, or as an immune support to protect against all diseases including cancer.
