Cover Crops May Be a Growing Problem for Clean Water
Animal waste and fertilizer runoff are two large contributors to water pollution, yet Big Ag has consistently turned a blind eye to the resulting devastating climate effects on their own industry. As this short video demonstrates, rising concentrations of nitrogen in the water feeds algae and chokes the oxygen supply to wildlife, creating expansive dead zones. In addition to an impact on fish and wildlife, climate change is being blamed for record-setting rain in the Midwest in 2019. Croplands were so ravaged by water that farmers were forced...
read moreSoybean Oil Linked to Genetic and Neurological Damage
Far worse than the biologic damage caused by refined sugar is the molecular havoc caused by processed vegetable oils. Soybean oil in particular has a questionable safety profile for several reasons, and processed foods are positively loaded with it. Whether partially hydrogenated, organic or genetically modified to be low in linoleic acid, soybean oil can cause dysfunction at a cellular level. Unfortunately, many health authorities have insisted omega-6-rich vegetable oils like soybean oil are healthier than saturated animal fats such as...
read moreThe Mystery of Ginkgo Biloba
The ginkgo biloba tree, native to Asia, particularly China, Korea and Japan, has many benefits when used as a supplement. Some of its most impressive actions are associated with brain and memory function1,2 but studies have also indicated that ginkgo biloba can reduce symptoms of anxiety,3 improve glaucoma (through its antioxidant and vascular effects)4 and improve blood flow in conditions like Raynaud’s syndrome5 and erectile dysfunction.6 Some of ginkgo’s positive actions may result from the way it increases adenosine...
read moreVitamin D and Normal Intestinal Bacteria for Optimal Sleep
In this interview, Dr. Stasha Gominak,1 a neurologist and sleep coach, explains the curious synergy between vitamin D deficiency, a changed microbiome and poor sleep. I met Gominak at the American College for the Advancement in Medicine’s annual meeting in 2019 in Nashville. Her lecture was about ways to improve your sleep. I thought I was aware of most of them, but the connection between vitamin D and sleep surprised me. Gominak’s research suggests lack of vitamin D causes impairment in your brain stem’s ability to produce...
read more‘Normal’ Body Temperature Is Lower Than You Think
Your body temperature is regulated by complex communication with your hypothalamus, vascular system and skin.1 It is a measure of how well you can make and release heat. The objective is to maintain your body at a consistent temperature to provide your organs, enzymes and hormones an optimal environment. When your body temperature rises (hyperthermia) or falls (hypothermia) it can be dangerous or life threatening.2 On average, the temperature taken in your rectum or ear may be slightly higher than one that is taken across your forehead or...

In the December 2019 interview, “Irregulators vs. FCC: Exposing and Prosecuting a Vast, Illegal Financial Scandal in Telecommunications,”1 Josh del Sol — who directed the documentary films “Take Back Your Power” (a film detailing the dangers of smart meters) and “InPower Episode 1: A Mass Action of Liability” (which reveals how you can refuse smart meters) — talks to Bruce Kushnick and W. Scott McCollough, Esq. about their lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Vast...
read moreHow Sugar Changes Your Brain Chemistry
If you’re like most people, chances are you’re consuming unhealthy amounts of sugar on a regular basis. Even if you’re not big on candy, most processed foods will provide you with an excessive amount of added sugars. As noted in the BBC One report “The Truth About Sugar,” a serving of Pad Thai noodles contains 9.5 teaspoons of sugar and a package of sweet and sour chicken with rice contains 12.5 teaspoons, which is more than a can of soda. A can of baked beans contains 6 teaspoons of sugar, which would ideally be...
read moreAvoid Burnout Before You’re Already Burned
If you’re feeling tired, cranky, stressed out and overwhelmed, you’re likely heading quickly down the slippery slope to burnout. Burnout, which is a term used to describe physical or emotional exhaustion that’s typically the result of prolonged stress or frustration,1 is a common human condition, but definitely not a desirable one. A 2018 Gallup study of nearly 7,500 full-time employees found that 23% feel burned out at work always or very often, while another 44% said they sometimes feel burned out. That amounts to...
read moreStatins Trigger Brain Changes With Devastating Effects
Data from the CDC1 in 2017 show heart disease causes one death every 37 seconds in America and that it is the leading cause of death in the U.S. It created a financial burden of $219 billion in 2014 and 2015. Every 40 seconds someone has a heart attack. Those at higher risk are smokers and those who have high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and/or diabetes.2 Since researchers believed cholesterol levels contribute greatly to heart disease, pharmaceutical companies focused on developing a drug that might be marketed to millions when...
read moreSepsis May Be Responsible for 20% of Deaths Worldwide
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition triggered by a systemic infection that causes your body to overreact and launch an excessive and highly damaging immune response. Unless promptly diagnosed and treated, it can rapidly progress to multiple-organ failure and death. A number of studies have shown sepsis is becoming ever more prevalent, making it imperative to be on the lookout for its signs and symptoms whenever you’re ill or in the hospital. This includes cases of suspected influenza, as sepsis can mimic many of the signs and...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria annually infect more than 2.8 million people in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 reports that more than 35,000 people die each year as a result. But, unlike other threats, this has a clear and well-known cause: the overuse of antibiotics. Infections triggered by antibiotic resistant bacteria are sometimes impossible to treat and may extend hospital admissions. When antibiotics lose their effectiveness against a particular bacterium it presents a significant and severe public health threat....
read moreRoche Flu Medication Fraud Stole Billions
A whistleblower lawsuit has been filed against drugmaker Roche, alleging the company made false claims and misrepresented studies, causing the U.S. government to stockpile $1.5 billion of its influenza medicine Tamiflu (oseltamivir).1 The lawsuit was filed by Dr. Thomas Jefferson, a researcher associated with the Cochrane Collaboration research network, under the False Claims Act, in which individuals may file suit on behalf of the government. Jefferson has been questioning Tamiflu’s effectiveness since 2009. The lawsuit, which was...
read moreGlyphosate Is a Primary Cause of Kidney Damage
Application of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide, is unprecedented in scale, and we haven’t even reached the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding its far-reaching environmental and human health effects. Since genetically engineered (GE) “Roundup Ready” crops, which are tolerant of glyphosate, were introduced, global usage of glyphosate rose nearly fifteenfold.1 Usage is so pervasive that researchers have stated, “no pesticide has come remotely close to such intensive and widespread...
read moreNew Jersey Defeats Mandatory Vaccine Bill
Everywhere we look, we find signs of out-of-control Big Pharma influence on medical policies and public health laws. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering drug ads account for the vast majority of most media outlets’ advertising revenues. As a result, the media are no longer providing us with fair and balanced reporting on the prevention and treatment of disease, and this certainly includes the subject of drugs and vaccines. As reported by Periscope News Group editor-in-chief, Christina Morales:1 “Prescription...
read morePsychedelic Mushroom Compound Found Nontoxic in Large Study
There have been rapid changes when it comes to the embracing of psychedelic and hallucinogenic substances by mainstream medicine and municipalities. Marijuana, despite its longtime federal classification as a Schedule I drug, the FDA’s most restricted class, is now legal in many U.S. states for medical purposes.1 States are also increasingly legalizing marijuana for recreational use, as Illinois did in 2020.2 Ketamine, a rapid acting anesthetic and established street drug sometimes called “Special K,” was approved by the FDA...
