How Nebulized Peroxide Helps Against Respiratory Infections
Dr. Mercola Interviews the Experts This article is part of a weekly series in which Dr. Mercola interviews various experts on a variety of health issues. To see more expert interviews, click here. Dr. David Brownstein, who has a clinic just outside of Detroit, has successfully treated over a hundred patients with what has become my favorite intervention for COVID-19 and other upper respiratory infections, namely nebulized hydrogen peroxide. He has published the results of his work in a study that you can download here. Since I first wrote...

Two years ago, in October 2018, Forbes contributor Neil Sahota, a United Nations artificial intelligence adviser and UC Irvine professor, warned that transhumanism is fast approaching — likely faster than you think.1 “In the past few years, there has been considerable discussion around the idea we are slowly merging with our technology, that we are becoming transhuman, with updated abilities, including enhanced intelligence, strength, and awareness,” Sahota writes. The goal of the transhumanist movement, or “Human 2.0,” is to transcend...
read moreYour Brain Starts Eating Itself After Being Starved for Sleep
You’re probably already aware that a good sleep schedule is a vital component to a healthy lifestyle, but did you know that when you don’t get enough sleep, your brain actually starts to eat itself? I don’t mean that in the literal sense of the word, but research from the Marche Polytechnic University in Italy shows that astrocytes, a type of glial cell in the brain that normally gets rid of unnecessary nerve connections start to break down healthy nerve synapses in response to chronic sleep deprivation.1 In the study, mice were divided into...

According to an August 28, 2020, article1,2 in The Telegraph, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson now “insists he does not want to see face coverings in schools.” During a question and answer session posted on Facebook, Johnson said:3,4 “There’s no need for it. Indeed, there’s a need not to have it because obviously it’s very, very difficult to teach or to learn with a face mask on.” British deputy chief medical officer Dr. Jenny Harries stated the evidence for face masks is “not very strong in either direction,” but that...
read moreCOVID-19 Pandemic Has Decimated Mental Health
America has had an epidemic of poor health long before SARS-CoV-2 appeared earlier this year. This is largely a result of industry propaganda influencing their choices of large amounts of processed foods that are high in carbs and industrially processed vegetable oils. However, over the past several months, several polls discovered more about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic response on mental health, and it’s not good. In the featured video, Glenn Greenwald, host of System Update, discusses the “crumbling of the U.S. social fabric” and...
read moreB Complex Plus DHA May Help Prevent Dementia
Because dementia affects many older people, it’s often considered a normal part of aging, but it’s not. In fact, the brain damage that can lead to dementia is often linked to poor diet and nutritional deficiencies, especially in the B complex vitamins and docosahexaenoic acid — an omega-3 fat more commonly known as DHA. Although it’s widely accepted that DHA contributes to proper brain development in infants and helps maintain normal brain function in adults,1 up until now, the majority of studies haven’t been able to find a solid connection...
read moreHerd Immunity ‘Ahead of Schedule’
If a novel virus is introduced to a population, eventually enough people acquire natural immunity so that the number of susceptible people declines. When the number susceptible is low enough to prevent epidemic growth, herd immunity is said to have been reached. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, some experts estimated that 70% of the population or more may need to gain immunity before COVID-19 would be under control. Now, experts are suggesting the percentage may be far lower, and some areas may already have reached what’s known as...

Event 201 was a pandemic preparedness simulation hosted in New York City by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in October 2019 — 10 weeks before the COVID-19 outbreak first began in Wuhan, China. This scripted tabletop exercise — select portions of which are featured in the introduction of ‘Plandemic 2’ above — included everything we now see playing out in real time, in the real world, from PPE shortages, lockdowns and removal of civil liberties to...

In 1976, as the U.S. marked the 200th anniversary of its declaration of independence, more than 4,000 American Legion members converged in Pennsylvania to celebrate.1 The heat drove many of the veterans inside, and some took refuge in the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. Four days later the crowd dispersed and people returned home. But a few short days after that, reports of illness and death began reaching the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Legion. The first recorded death was that of a retired U.S. Air Force captain, 61-year-old Ray Brennan,...

1 Which of the following organizations conducted a highly successful campaign promoting skim milk over whole milk in the mid-1990s to reduce healthy saturated fat intake, resulting in the doubling of skim milk sales? Center for Science in the Public Interest In 1995, the Center for Science in the Public Interest launched a highly successful campaign urging people to switch from whole and 2% milk to skim milk, which resulted in the doubling of skim milk sales. Research, however, shows full-fat dairy actually lowers your risk of death from...

Could a “perfect storm” be brewing, ready to be unleashed this fall? If the regular influenza season ends up converging with a resurgence of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks, or even a new SARS-CoV-3, the results are anyone’s guess at this point. Confounding matters is the possibility that influenza vaccination may increase people’s risk of other viral infections. In a June 12, 2020, Science editorial, Michael Osterholm, virologist and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, and...
read moreThe Secret to Raising Smart Kids
More than three decades of scientific research suggests that repeatedly telling children that they are especially smart or talented leaves them vulnerable to failure, and fearful of challenges.Children raised this way develop an implicit belief that intelligence is innate and fixed, making striving to learn seem less important than seeming smart; challenges, mistakes, and effort become threats to their ego rather than opportunities to improve.However, teaching children to have a “growth mind-set,” which encourages effort rather than on...
read moreHerbs Found to be More Effective Than Drugs to Relieve Menstrual Pain
Chinese herbs may relieve menstrual cramps better than drugs, acupuncture, or heat compression, Australia-based researchers found after studying nearly 3,500 women in several countries.Along with relieving pain, Chinese herbs also reduced the recurrence of cramps over a three-month period.In the study, women were given herbal concoctions to regulate their “qi” (energy) and blood, warm their bodies, and boost their kidney and liver functions. Herbs in the study included, but were not limited to:1. Chinese angelica root 2. Szechuan lovage...
read moreIs Alzheimer’s a Form of Diabetes?
More evidence has been uncovered that Alzheimer’s disease may actually be a third form of diabetes, according to researchers from Northwestern University. Insulin and insulin receptors in your brain are crucial for learning and memory, and it’s known that these components are lower in people with Alzheimer’s disease. In your brain, insulin binds to an insulin receptor at a synapse, which triggers a mechanism that allows nerve cells to survive and memories to form.The Northwestern University researchers have found that a toxic protein in the...

By Dr. Mercola If you think your birth control pill is the best pregnancy prevention tool there is, you may be surprised by new research looking into its failure rates. Compared to other forms of protection, the Pill failed miserably, which only adds to the myriad of reasons why you should heavily question its use. The Pill Fails 20 Times More Often About 99 percent of sexually active women use at least one method of birth control, the most common of which is the birth control pill (oral contraceptives). The Pill was used by nearly 11 million...
