Vitamin K Protects Against Diabetes
In a May 2023 paper, Canadian researchers announced they had newly identified a protective role that vitamin K plays against diabetes.1 In 2019, diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S.,2 a disease which affected approximately 37.3 million people in 2019.3 How Diabetes Affects Public Health According to the CDC,4 the total number of existing cases of diabetes steadily increased from 2001 to 2020 and similar trends were seen when the population was examined by ethnic group, education level, race, age and sex. The CDC further...

April 19, 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. formally announced his 2024 Democratic presidential campaign.1 Early polls show he’s got nearly 20% of the Democratic vote. Unfortunately, Democrat Party officials are doing everything they can to avoid public debates, and their media allies seem hellbent on not giving Kennedy the opportunity to share his views either. May 17, 2023, Krystal Ball, cohost of the online show “Breaking Point,” interviewed Kennedy,2,3 or perhaps more accurately, debated him herself. Ball told Kennedy she disagrees with his...
read moreIt’s Been Three Years. Can You Hear Me Now?
This story is about how to get through to the ones who are still under the “COVID spell.” I would also like to poke the most inconvenient elephant in the room, and I would like to do so with love. “How Do We Get Through to Them?” In the past three years we have been on a very dramatic roller coaster ride. It is fair to say that we’ve been through hell. And the most traumatizing and maddening part has been seeing our loved ones succumb to the spell of the “COVID response” and behave like their souls...

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published November 11, 2018. I’ve previously interviewed James DiNicolantonio, Pharm.D., about his book, “The Salt Fix: Why the Experts Got It All Wrong and How Eating More Might Save Your Life,” where he exposes why we got it wrong about salt and promotes eating healthy real salt.1 “The Salt Fix” is a fascinating book and I encourage you to go pick up a copy and read it. Here, we will focus on our new book, “Superfuel: Ketogenic Keys to...

Only 6.8% of U.S. adults have optimal cardiometabolic health,1 while an estimated 47 million have cardiometabolic disorders that increase their risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.2 Risk factors for cardiometabolic disease include high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, elevated fasting blood sugar, dyslipidemia and elevated triglycerides.3 Factors that lower these risks are therefore beneficial for cardiometabolic health. This includes lifestyle factors like eating right, exercising and maintaining a healthy weight. Specifically, in...
read moreEven Low Levels of Glyphosate Alter Your Gut Microbiota
About 8.6 billion kilograms of glyphosate, equivalent to about 18.9 billion pounds, have been applied to agricultural fields and other land worldwide since 1974. The majority — up to two-thirds — was used in the last decade.1 Glyphosate is a key ingredient in herbicides like Roundup, which in its earlier days was advertised as “biodegradable” and “environmentally friendly.” Monsanto even went so far as to claim it “left the soil clean” — until they were found guilty of false advertising because the chemical...
read moreWater and Homeopathy: Discoveries at Science’s Cutting Edge
Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published October 31, 2018. If the common physician, scientist and educated consumer were to believe Wikipedia, they would assume that there is absolutely no research that shows the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in the treatment of any ailment. Furthermore, they would conclude homeopathic medicines are so small in dose, there is literally “nothing” in a homeopathic medicine. And, if you are this gullible and vulnerable to Big Pharma propaganda, then we’ve...
read moreAuthorities Admit Loneliness Epidemic but Shun Responsibility
In early May 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy published an advisory1 on the growing epidemic of loneliness and social isolation. According to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the advisory is “part of the Biden administration’s broader efforts to address mental health”2 by raising awareness. No federal funding has been allocated to address it, however. In the report, Murthy cites data showing: In a 2018 poll, only 16% of Americans said they felt “very attached” to their community. Between 2003 and 2020, the time the...
read moreWhat Made Doctors Do the Right Thing During COVID-19?
Since I was very young, I noticed a minority of people “got it” and could see through the current lie everyone else was falling for. Being like this can be incredibly isolating, so I tried to seek these people out and connect them. As time went forward, the question we all asked was, “What makes certain people be awake?” Note: “Awake” was the best word we could ever find to describe this characteristic. This is somewhat frustrating because it is still not the correct word and because “awake” is...
read moreDisinfectant Wipes Are Linked to Health Problems
Quaternary ammonium compounds are also called “QACs” or “quats.” They are a broad class of several hundred chemicals and are commonly used in wood preservatives, mouthwash, detergents, shampoos, fabric softeners, eye drops and herbicides. QACs are largely used in the U.S. While the European Union has not banned QACs,1 the regulating agency has set a very low maximum residue level (MRL) of 0.01 mg per kilogram (mg/kg) for pesticides used on food or animal feed. Applications in the U.S. range from industrial, clinical, domestic and...
read moreNew Study: Parents Opting Out of COVID Shots for Their Kids
Since COVID-19 shots were fast-tracked to the market at an unprecedented rate — and recommended widely to children who were at very low risk from COVID-19 — parents are asking more questions about vaccinations. A survey prepared for Health Canada by Ekos Research Associates1 found that not only have vaccination rates declined since the COVID-19 pandemic, but widespread concerns exist about the shots’ safety.2 As it stands, data from the Public Health Agency of Canada shows only 40% of children under 12 are considered “fully vaccinated”...
read moreThe Uncommon Heart Attack That Kills Healthy, Young Women
Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published March 8, 2018. The symptoms of an uncommon type of heart attack known as spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)1 are dangerously easy to overlook, as few SCAD patients have any history of or risk factors for heart disease. SCAD is a leading cause of heart attacks in healthy women under 55; the average age of SCAD patients is 42. ABC News recounts the stories of two women whose sudden heart attacks were triggered by SCAD.2 Five weeks after giving birth to a...
read moreThe WHO Will Have Authority to Mandate Vaccines Globally
In the video above, John Campbell, Ph.D., a retired nurse educator, reviews the proposed amendments to the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR), which is the instrument that empowers the World Health Organization to declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). If these amendments go through, however, the WHO will be empowered to do a whole lot more than that. It will become the de facto governing body of all member states, including the U.S. Now, according to so-called “fact checkers,” the WHO will have no...
read moreThe Many Health Benefits of Fennel
Common fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a perennial plant in the carrot family that is grown for the edible leaves, shoots, seeds and bulbs. It’s likely the plant was first cultivated in Israel,1 and is believed to have been part of Jewish meals since biblical times. The plant is native to the Mediterranean area, where the seeds are used as a spice, insect repellent and medicine, and the shoots and feathery fronds are added to salad. Pliny the Elder mentions fennel several times in his encyclopedia, “Natural History,” as a treatment for...
