read moreIs It Time to Start Growing Your Own Food?
There are many reasons more people are buying seeds and planting their own gardens. One of the main reasons is that you have control over growing your food organically and you can enjoy some of the freshest produce available. During World Wars I and II the government encouraged Americans to grow their own food to help the war effort.1 These plots of land were commonly called “victory gardens,” but were also known as “war gardens” and “food gardens for defense.” During World War I, the new U.S. Food...

In March 2020, with the U.S. reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Secure 5G and Beyond Act (S. 893) and the Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability Act (S. 1822) were signed into law. The duo will accelerate the adoption of 5G, or “5th Generation,” wireless networks across the U.S. — and in so doing, force Americans to receive unprecedented levels of exposure to the millimeter wave (MMW), which has shown potential to harm human health and the environment. The 5G act requires the president to develop a...
read moreThis Colorful Spice Can Help Treat Anxiety and Depression
Saffron, stigmas of the purple crocus flower, is one of the most intriguing plants on Earth. It only blooms once a year and has only three stigmas when it does, making it one of the world’s most expensive spices by weight. It takes about 170,000 flowers to produce a single pound of saffron.1 Saffron is primarily grown in Iran but is also cultivated in Afghanistan, Italy, Morocco, Spain, the Netherlands and the U.S. It is usually hand harvested, not mechanically harvested, adding to its significant cost. Saffron has a centuries-old...
read moreGovernment Is Reading Your Messages About Coronavirus
During this COVID-19 pandemic, we are hearing stories about how some governments are abusing the privacy rights of their citizens in the interests of public health. The South Korean government is using smartphone location data, surveillance-camera footage and even credit card purchases to monitor those suspected of spreading COVID-19.1 Italian authorities are using mobile phones’ data to track people’s everyday movements and whether they are obeying the government lockdown orders. Israel has deployed Shin Bet, its internal...

The history of trans fats dates to 1903 when Wilhelm Normann applied for and was awarded a patent after he discovered how to make liquid oil thicker and firmer through hydrogenation.1 These fats had a longer shelf life and were cheaper to produce. In 1911 Procter & Gamble introduced Crisco, a vegetable shortening advertised as “an economical alternative to animal fats and butter.” During World War II, when the government rationed butter, that led to a gain in popularity for margarine, a trans fatty acid product. The process of...

The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations established in 1948 to further international cooperation for improved public health conditions. It was given a broad mandate under its constitution to promote the attainment of “the highest possible level of health” by all peoples. You might recall that WHO released a statement in September 2019 that they had worked with Facebook to curb vaccine “misinformation” and usurp free speech and accountable democracy in America.1 In this article, I...
read moreTobacco Company Is Making COVID-19 Vaccine
British American Tobacco (BAT) has joined the race to develop a vaccine for COVID-19, with plans to potentially manufacture 1 million to 3 million doses of vaccine per week. While vaccine development typically takes years, and even then has a poor track record when it comes to safety testing, BAT’s potential COVID-19 vaccine is already in preclinical testing. Further, BAT, which is working in conjunction with its U.S. biotech subsidiary, Kentucky BioProcessing (KBP), stated that if testing goes well, and “with the right partners...
read moreCoronavirus — What Are the Best Alternatives for Self-Care?
Analysis by Pat Thomas for the Organic Consumers Association The global spread of coronavirus/COVID-19 has sent researchers and scientists into overdrive to find both treatments and cures. In the meantime, doctors and other practitioners are, to a large extent, improvising. They are employing best-care practices for the very sick in hospital and providing best-guess advice for those with mild symptoms who are self-isolating, and for those who have no symptoms and would like to keep it that way. It’s important to remember that there are...

In this interview, Brian Hoyer — one of the primary consultants for my latest book, “EMF*D” — discusses how electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation may be impacting the COVID-19 epidemic and your infection risk. Many have raised questions about whether there is a connection between 5G and this pandemic. In some ways, the connection between COVID-19 and 5G is a moot issue. In other ways, it’s not. Either way, it’s tangential to what you need to do now to protect yourself and your family from here on out. At...

While the World Health Organization has put the death rate from novel coronavirus, COVID-19, at 3.4%,1 a study in Nature Medicine put it much lower, at 1.4%.2 The fact is, with many cases going unreported and untested, mild and asymptomatic cases may not be included in official COVID-19 death rate figures, which could skew the death rate significantly, making it appear higher than it actually is. In Italy, however — the “new” epicenter for COVID-19 — the number of deaths reportedly overtook those in China by mid- to...

read moreNiacin Study Shows Promise to Slow Abnormal Growth
The human body needs nutrients to survive. One piece of the puzzle is a water-soluble nutrient, vitamin B3. Deficiency may happen if you don’t eat foods rich in vitamin B3; if you have dysfunctional absorption or a metabolic disorder; or if you’ve used chemotherapeutic agents for a long time.1 The vitamin’s common name is niacin and it’s a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is used to catalyze more than 400 enzymatic reactions in the body.2 NAD is necessary for activities to repair DNA, and...
