Do Psychiatric Meds and War Games Lead to Mass Shootings?
While many have bought into the simplistic idea that availability of firearms is the cause of mass shootings, a number of experts have pointed out a more uncomfortable truth, which is that mass shootings are far more likely the result of how we’ve been mistreating mental illness, depression and behavioral problems. An article written by Molly Carter, initially published on ammo.com at an unknown date1 and subsequently republished by The Libertarian Institute in May 2019,2 and psychreg.org in late January 2021,3 noted: “According to the...
read moreArtificial Sweetener ‘Fad’ Additives: Worse Than Sugar?
This article was previously published February 26, 2019, and has been updated with new information. According to 2022 statistics1 nearly 42.4% of American adults and 22.4% of children ages 2 to 192 are now obese, not just overweight. While the CDC states that the COVID-19 pandemic, disordered eating and other social determinants helped push these statistics, it’s inarguable that processed foods and sweetened beverages clearly contribute to weight gain. Unfortunately, many make the mistake of thinking artificially sweetened products are a...
read moreThe Vaccine Stockpile Is Headed to the Dump
The U.K. stockpiled 650 million doses of COVID-19 injections during the pandemic. Only 142 million have been used. The remainder expire six to 12 months after their date of manufacture,1 which means millions of doses are going to end up as trash. It’s unknown whether some doses from the 650 million figure have yet to be manufactured, or exactly how much was paid for each dose, but what’s clear is that a massive waste of federal funds is imminent. Based on estimates that the U.S. government paid about $20 for each dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19...
read moreBeing Dehydrated Can Make You Tired, Grumpy and Sick
This article was previously published March 29, 2018, and has been updated with new information. Have you ever been so busy you neglected to drink even a sip or two of water for an extended period, then suddenly realized you were incredibly thirsty and in need of a long drink? By replenishing your body’s water supply when it tells you you’re thirsty, you can often stave off dehydration. In fact, typically your body’s physiologic thirst mechanism is triggered before you’re dehydrated, giving you a chance to rehydrate...
read moreStudy Shows Pharmaceutical Ads Make People Want Prescriptions
Television advertisements for prescription drugs are illegal in virtually every country on the planet — but not in the U.S., where 80 such ads air, on average, every hour on Americans’ televisions.1 “Ask your doctor,” the narrators tell viewers, urging them to bring up the latest name-brand drugs at their next physician’s visit. Prior to the 1980s, these types of direct-to-consumer (DTC) ads were unheard of,2 even in the U.S., but within a few decades they became among the most common public health messages seen by Americans. This marketing...
read moreThe Top 10 Scariest Things to Come Out of the WEF
If you’re not familiar with the World Economic Forum (WEF), prepare to be astounded. This international organization is run by German engineer and WEF founder Klaus Schwab and other members of the technocratic elite. Their mission is to do away with the democratic process and give all ownership and control to the deep state. If this sounds far-fetched, like a conspiracy theory, you’ll be surprised to know that WEF doesn’t hide their agenda. On the contrary, they openly share it and promote it to the world, as if it’s inevitable that their...
read moreGenetically Engineered Hens Made to Kill Their Own Chicks
One of the atrocities of industrialized agriculture is the egg industry’s killing of male chicks. Each year, more than 6 billion male chicks are killed worldwide, up to 300 million of them in the U.S.1 The reasoning behind this abhorrent practice is at the root of what is wrong with corporate agriculture — egg-laying hens are bred to lay eggs, and nothing more. Because males cannot produce eggs, and don’t grow enough meat to make them useful for human consumption (as opposed to broiler chickens, bred to grow unnaturally large), they would...

May 23, 2022, Pfizer-BioNTech1 announced preliminary results from their Phase 2/3 trial evaluating a three-dose vaccine schedule for children 6 months to under 5 years of age would be submitted to the FDA for emergency use authorization (EUA). Many in mainstream media are hailing this development as important to children’s health, writing, “many parents of these very young children have been really anxious to get their kids vaccinated”2 and “Parents hoping to get their youngest children vaccinated against COVID-19 got some...

read moreFermented Foods May Be a Key Component of an Anticancer Menu
This article was previously published February 13, 2017, and has been updated with new information. Slowly but surely, scientists are increasingly starting to focus on the influence of nutrition on cancer. Mounting evidence supports the notion that a diet high in healthy fats and low in net carbohydrates (total carbs minus fiber, i.e., nonfiber carbs) may significantly lower your risk by improving mitochondrial and metabolic function. Fermented foods are also gaining recognition as an important anticancer adjunct. The beneficial bacteria...
read moreDo You Know the Difference Between Salt and Sodium?
Did you know that salt and sodium are not the same things? The distinction is important since for decades doctors have recommended patients limit their salt intake.1 According to a historical report in Scientific American,2 it was 1904 when doctors in France first reported that patients with high blood pressure consumed a lot of salt. In 1970, Lewis Dahl claimed he had “unequivocal” evidence that salt was linked to high blood pressure based on an animal study. When the amount of salt fed to the animals was scaled to size, it was equal to...

This article was previously published June 13, 2019, and has been updated with new information. Known as a multipurpose herb and “rejuvenator” used in ancient Ayurvedic1 and Chinese medicine for thousands of years, ashwagandha2 (Withania somnifera) is a plant native to India with a host of bioactive functions. Ashwagandha is one of the few true adaptogenic herbs that helps your body adapt to stress3 by balancing your immune system,4 metabolism and hormonal systems.5 As noted in the medical review, “Scientific Basis for the...
read moreAre You Prepared for the Coming Food Catastrophe?
Across the world, experts and analysts are now warning of skyrocketing food prices and catastrophic food shortages. In mid-May 2022, United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said the world is facing years of famine, and urged Russia to “permit the safe and secure export of grain stored in Ukrainian ports” to ease shortages.1,2 Blame for this global food shortage is, officially, being laid at the feet of “climate change,” the COVID pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.3 But while all of those have played their role, other factors are also...
read moreMany Pathologists Agree Skin Cancer Is Overdiagnosed
Data published in JAMA Dermatology in April 2022 revealed that nearly two-thirds of dermatopathologists believe that skin cancer is overdiagnosed.1 According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD),2 skin cancer will affect 1 in 5 Americans in their lifetime, making it one of the most common cancers diagnosed in the U.S. According to the AAD, exposure to UV radiation from sunlight or tanning beds can increase the risk of developing certain types of skin cancer, especially when a person has five or more blistering sunburns at an early...
read moreNY Times Runs Another Hit Piece on Dr. Mercola
The New York Times (NYT) was once upon a time the gold standard of the American free press, lovingly known as the “Gray Lady” — a nod to its fearlessly honest and impartial reporting of “all the news that’s fit to print.” Those days are long gone, however. As noted by Ashley Rindsberg in his book, “The Gray Lady Winked: How the New York Times’ Misreporting, Distortions & Fabrications Radically Altered History,”1,2 its founding vision and principles have radically devolved over the generations, and “the costs of the Times’ habitual and...
