The Unabomber Was a CIA Guinea Pig

Posted by on Jul 1, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The Unabomber Was a CIA Guinea Pig

Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, earned notoriety for committing 16 bombings between 1978 and 1995. But before he turned violent, Kaczynski was used as a pawn by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which subjected him to cruel, mind-altering experiments.1 Kaczynski, then, could be described as a construct of the CIA, a product of its teachings. Three people lost their lives as a result of Kaczynski’s bombings, and 23 were injured, many seriously. He died in his North Carolina prison cell in June 2023, where he is said to have...

Grifting, Grants, and Academia

Posted by on Jun 30, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Grifting, Grants, and Academia

Prior to COVID-19, Peter Hotez, an avowed left-wing partisan, was one of the most knowledgeable figures in the world on both the SARS virus and its potential vaccines. For this reason, from 2012-2017, he held a 6-million-dollar research grant to develop a SARS vaccine. Being fully aware that one of the most likely sources of a SARS outbreak would be a lab leak, he specified his vaccine would be a hedge against that eventuality. Given that his grant was then used to fund SARS gain-of-function research (conducted by the infamous director of the...

Hotez Refuses to Debate RFK on Vaccines

Posted by on Jun 30, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Hotez Refuses to Debate RFK on Vaccines

June 15, 2023, podcast host Joe Rogan interviewed1 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for three hours. Contrary to so many other interviewers, Rogan allowed Kennedy ample time to discuss his views on vaccines without interruptions. The facts laid out by Kennedy apparently rubbed vaccine scientist Dr. Peter Hotez2 the wrong way. In a June 17 tweet, Hotez posted a Vice article titled “Spotify has Stopped Even Sort of Trying to Stem Joe Rogan’s Vaccine Misinformation.” Addressing the author of that smear piece, Hotez stated,...

Posted by on Jun 29, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Strawberries Are the Dirtiest of the ‘Dirty Dozen’

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published April 24, 2018. An updated 2023 Dirty Dozen list has been added for comparison. Fresh produce, whether organic or conventionally grown, is one of the healthiest food choices you can make.

In fact, the No. 1 reason people go organic is to avoid pesticides and other chemicals,1 and the...

Do Animals Self-Medicate?

Posted by on Jun 29, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Do Animals Self-Medicate?

People often assume that animals are “passive” beings who know nothing and don’t have cognitive processes like we do. Personally, I think it’s very arrogant to think that. Any pet owner or anyone who spends time around animals knows that animals have personalities and emotions just like us, and that their behavior is usually “thought through.” Zoopharmacognosy In the 1980s, a new branch of science was born, dedicated to “zoopharmacognosy,” meaning “animals’ knowledge of medicine.” In the words...

Shepherds of the Singularity

Will artificial intelligence (AI) wipe out mankind? Could it create the “perfect” lethal bioweapon to decimate the population?1,2 Might it take over our weapons,3,4 or initiate cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, such as the electric grid?5 According to a rapidly growing number of experts, any one of these, and other hellish scenarios, are entirely plausible, unless we rein in the development and deployment of AI and start putting in some safeguards.

Wuhan Scientist Thrown Off Roof

Posted by on Jun 28, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Wuhan Scientist Thrown Off Roof

Over the years, it’s become clear that science can be a very hazardous occupation. According to witnesses, a Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) scientist by the name of Zhou Yusen was thrown to his death off the lab’s roof in May 2020, just three months after he’d filed a patent for a COVID vaccine. The timing of the patent filing is perhaps as curious as his death. According to some experts, the data included in the patent suggests he’d been working on the vaccine prior to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, which authorities have insisted was a...

How to Identify Atrial Fibrillation and What Might Help

Posted by on Jun 27, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on How to Identify Atrial Fibrillation and What Might Help

Atrial fibrillation (Afib)1 is an abnormal, often rapid, heart rhythm that occurs when the atria, your heart’s upper chambers, beat out of sync with the ventricles, the heart’s lower chambers. It’s a common symptom in those with heart failure or heart disease.

How Colostrum Can Benefit Your Immune Health

Posted by on Jun 26, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on How Colostrum Can Benefit Your Immune Health

For the first three to four days after giving birth, all mammals, including humans, produce colostrum, also known as initial milk or first milk.1 Rich in enzymes, hormones, growth factors, cytokines and immune cells, this thick, yellow substance is produced only in small quantities, but is packed with so much nutrition that it easily meets the needs of the growing newborn during the first days of life. About 250 active compounds have been identified in colostrum, but there are likely many others.2 Colostrum contains beneficial bacteria, as...

Why Are Planes Using Pork Byproducts for Fuel?

Posted by on Jun 24, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Why Are Planes Using Pork Byproducts for Fuel?

Rendered animal fats, a byproduct of raising animals on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), are commonly added to pet food and personal care products like soap and cosmetics. However, they’re also a growing part of “sustainable aviation fuels” (SAF), to the extent that there’s not enough to go around. A study conducted by Cerulogy for Transport & Environment (T&E) revealed increasing pressure on animal fat supplies as its use in biodiesel has skyrocketed 40-fold since 2006.1 8,800 Dead Pigs to Fuel One...

The Reset Riddle

Posted by on Jun 24, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The Reset Riddle

Throughout the pandemic and beyond, you’ve likely heard top political figures and Big Tech leaders talking about the opportunity to “reset” and “build back better.” Founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Klaus Schwab is often said to be the mastermind behind this and is credited with circulating the idea of The Great Reset, of which “build back better” is an integral part. However, there are other nefarious players who may have even more power, namely the newly crowned King Charles III. “When The Great Reset was...
