What’s in Those Vapes?

Posted by on Aug 23, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on What’s in Those Vapes?

Many have been misled to believe that vaping is far healthier than cigarette smoking, but nothing could be further from the truth. As noted in one scientific review,1 e-cigs may be a safer option than conventional cigarettes, but they’re “not that safe.” Chemical analyses have found e-cigarette liquids, aerosols, cartridge, and the heating coils within the e-cig tank can contain many toxic ingredients, including:2,3,4 Antifreeze chemicals such as propylene glycol and diethylene glycol, the latter of which has been linked to...

Caught Red-Handed, Stop Trusting These Science ‘Experts’

Posted by on Aug 23, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Caught Red-Handed, Stop Trusting These Science ‘Experts’

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published October 3, 2018. I’ve written many articles highlighting the bias created by funding and the dangers of basing health decisions on industry-funded science. Independent, unbiased research is absolutely crucial for getting to the truth; without it science becomes little more than an extension of marketing, and hence useless. So, what’s happening at Cochrane right now is nothing short of tragic.1,2,3 Cochrane (an international network of scientists that promotes...

The Mystery Behind Chase Debanking Is Becoming Clear

Posted by on Aug 23, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The Mystery Behind Chase Debanking Is Becoming Clear

As previously reported, in mid-July 2023, JP Morgan Chase Bank canceled all my business bank accounts, along with the personal accounts of our CEO, CFO and their respective spouses and children. This is despite a new Florida law that that specifically prohibits financial institutions from denying or canceling services based on political or religious beliefs. What we’re seeing is the weaponization of finance, where people whose views or actions go against the official narrative are cut off from basic financial services. This is the...

New Studies on 3 Important Nutrients

Posted by on Aug 21, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on New Studies on 3 Important Nutrients

By Dr. Mercola Your body not only depends on nutrients in the food you eat, but is actually composed — atom-by-atom, molecule-by-molecule – by them, which is why we should not be surprised by the profound power that certain nutrients and food constituents have in supporting optimal health. One of them, calcium, is an old-standby in many people’s supplement stashes, but new research suggests this is one nutrient you’re better off getting from food sources. Two lesser known, but extremely therapeutic, nutrients are turmeric...

In this interview, optometrist and eye health coach Taylor DeGroot reviews how your diet, lifestyle and stress can impact your vision, and simple remedies and tools that can help you address common vision problems. While she only recently graduated from optometry school, I’ve been impressed with DeGroot’s interviews on other platforms and her holistic, bioenergetic approach to eye health. “There are specific conditions like macular degeneration that are entirely dependent upon your health and what you’re eating,” she says. “When I was...

Outspoken Cardiologist Sets the Record Straight

Posted by on Aug 20, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Outspoken Cardiologist Sets the Record Straight

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published June 5, 2016. Is saturated fat really the health hazard it’s been made out to be? Dr. Aseem Malhotra is an interventional cardiologist consultant in London, U.K., who gained quite a bit of publicity after the publication of his peer-reviewed editorial1 in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in 2013. In it, he seriously challenges the conventional view on saturated fats, and reviews how studies have failed to find any significant association between saturated fat and...

What Caused the Deadly Maui Fires?

Posted by on Aug 19, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on What Caused the Deadly Maui Fires?

August 8, 2023, multiple wildfires broke out in the western and central parts of Maui, burning down an estimated 2,000 acres, including the historical port town of Lahaina. Strangely enough, satellite images show the fires all began around the same time. The fires — fueled by hurricane-strength 60 to 90 mph winds from Hurricane Dora, which passed some 500 miles south of Hawaii1 — ripped across the landscape at a pace of 1 mile per minute (that’s 60 mph folks).2 In addition to the fire’s rapid spread, the local warning system also...

Do the COVID Vaccines Affect Your Ability to Think?

Posted by on Aug 19, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on Do the COVID Vaccines Affect Your Ability to Think?

When the COVID-19 vaccines were brought to market, due to their design I expected them to have safety issues, and I expected over the long term, a variety of chronic issues would be linked to them. This was because there were a variety of reasons to suspect they would cause autoimmune disorders, fertility issues and cancers — but for some reason (as shown by the Pfizer EMA leaks), the vaccines had been exempted from being appropriately tested for any of these issues prior to being given to humans. Since all new drugs are required to receive...

Siri, Am I Anti-Science?

Posted by on Aug 18, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Siri, Am I Anti-Science?

This story is about the absurdity of the preposterous mandate to just “trust the science” as if it were a non-partisan set of static truths. It is also about some humbling recent discoveries showing just how little the scientists know at any given time. The Yelling Over the past three years, we’ve been pounded on the head, gaslit and shamed ad nauseam for being skeptical of the science shoved down our throats by Pfizer, Blackrock, DARPA, and their various friends. We’ve been told again and again that unless we obediently lock our brains in...

Is It Wise to Get Your Wisdom Teeth Pulled?

Posted by on Aug 18, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Is It Wise to Get Your Wisdom Teeth Pulled?

The preemptive extraction of wisdom teeth before they become problematic has been a routine practice for decades. Surgical tooth removal began after the introduction of the local anesthetic Novocaine in 1902. Before that, these third molars were rarely, if ever, removed as a preventive measure due to the pain involved.1 The removal of wisdom teeth started becoming more common after the 1950s with the advent of antibiotics to treat related infections.2 Oral health experts typically recommend extracting wisdom teeth if they’re growing in at an...

7 Surprising Superfoods to Look for at the Store

Posted by on Aug 17, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on 7 Surprising Superfoods to Look for at the Store

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published March 26, 2018. Eating locally grown foods comes with a bounty of benefits, from fresher foods to saving both money and the environment. One 2007 study from the University of Alberta, Canada, determined that the transportation alone of organic produce actually causes an environmental impact large enough to cancel out many of its benefits.1 If you look, you’ll find that most of the organic fruit and vegetables in your local grocery store come from much farther away than your...

What’s the Buzz About GABA and Fake Alcohol?

Posted by on Aug 17, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on What’s the Buzz About GABA and Fake Alcohol?

GABA is a powerful neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve cells’ ability to receive, create and send chemical messages to other nerve cells in your brain. As a result, it slows your brain down and has a calming effect. GABA is also present in the enteric nervous system, and there’s evidence suggesting it may be able to act on the peripheral nervous system as well, through the gut-brain axis.1 It also exists naturally in foods, such as white tea, tomato, germinated rice and some fermented foods.2 As reported by Cleveland Clinic,3 GABA is...

Help Seize This Opportunity to Abolish Mercury Fillings

Posted by on Aug 17, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Help Seize This Opportunity to Abolish Mercury Fillings

New Opportunities to Phase Out Amalgam This spring, an unexpected — but highly welcome — development compels Consumers for Dental Choice to search for additional revenue. Several African nations submitted a proposal to amend the Minamata Convention to add a 2030 phase-out date for dental amalgam. The proposal also adds common-sense measures to facilitate this phase-out, including (1) submitting to the Secretariat a national plan for phasing out the use of dental amalgam and (2) excluding the use of dental amalgam in government insurance...

Posted by on Aug 16, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on What’s the End Game for Cybercrimes and Ransomware Attacks?
