Posted by on May 30, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on New 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”...

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...

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...

Common fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a perennial plant in the carrot family that is grown for the edible leaves, shoots, seeds and bulbs.

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...

Most Important Medical History Lesson We Must Never Forget

Posted by on May 29, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Most Important Medical History Lesson We Must Never Forget

The video above features a compilation of some of the most absurd COVID narratives we were indoctrinated with over the past three years. For example, “No one is safe until everyone is safe” was one of several lies we heard repeated across media platforms. First of all, there were and are vast differences in risk depending on your age and general medical history, and this was evident within weeks of the outbreak. Secondly, the data showed that 99.5% of the population would survive COVID. So, the reality was the complete opposite of this...

Posted by on May 28, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on EMF Exposure — A Major Factor in the Development of Autism

This interview was recorded in November 2018 at the annual Academy for Comprehensive and Integrative Medicine (ACIM) convention in Orlando, Florida, but this is the first time it was ever run on the site. At the time there was concern that the topic was too controversial, but now that five years has passed and COVID changed the controversial landscape we thought it would be good to release the video on this important topic. I had the opportunity to interview two experts on autism and dirty electricity, Peter Sullivan and Dr. Martha Herbert,...

Just Say No to Statins

Posted by on May 27, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Just Say No to Statins

In the U.S. alone, 40 million adults take statin cholesterol-lowering medications in the mistaken belief that this will reduce their risk of heart disease.1 But lowering your cholesterol is not the panacea to heart health that you’ve been led to believe. On “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Dr. Aseem Malhotra, an interventional cardiologist consultant from the U.K., speaks out about the overprescribing of statins for heart disease — and the widespread myths about cholesterol and your heart that still permeate modern medicine.2 Only Extremely High...

Filters in the Age of Information Overload

Posted by on May 26, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Filters in the Age of Information Overload

This article was originally published here. One of my colleagues has advanced a compelling theory to explain why a palpable madness seems to be gripping our society and more and more people seem to be going off the rails. “So much information is available now we are constantly bombarded with, that it has exceeded the processing capacity of the human mind. That is making a lot of people destabilize inside, and as the information glut increases, this problem will continue to worsen.” Recently I wrote an article describing my thought...

Scientists Warn GE Insects Could Be Easily Weaponized

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published October 23, 2018. Genetic engineering (GE) is being used in myriad ways these days, despite the fact we know very little about the long-term ramifications of such meddling in the natural order. For example, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an arm of the U.S. Department of Defense, is now planning to use insects to deliver GE viruses to crops, with the aim of altering the plant’s genetic traits in the field. The $27 million DARPA project, called...

Do You Know the Benefits of Practicing Solitude?

Posted by on May 25, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Do You Know the Benefits of Practicing Solitude?

Solitude — the state of being alone — is often described as a bad thing. But that’s because it’s often discussed in the context of other psychological experiences like isolation, social rejection or loneliness.1 Solitude is different from loneliness, however. When researchers sought to understand solitude as a “psychological experience of being alone, without communications, stimuli, activities or devices,” they found it led to beneficial effects on health. Solitude Can Increase Relaxation and Reduce Stress Thuy-vy Nguyen, assistant professor...
