Flu Shot Fails to Protect Seniors and May Increase Miscarriages
Flu season is creeping up on us again and there are widespread calls to get your annual flu shot, despite the fact that, year after year, this strategy turns out to have an abysmal rate of effectiveness across the board. One group that consistently turns out to draw the short end of the stick when it comes to influenza vaccine failures is the elderly. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data have repeatedly demonstrated that the flu vaccine does not work for seniors. Pregnant women are another group that should carefully...

Imagine that you are a corporation facing lawsuits from a product you make or market that is under investigation for harming the public health. Imagine that for several thousand dollars you could gain access to the very attorneys general who will decide to pursue lawsuits against you.1 That is exactly the case right now with both the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) and it is perfectly legal. When lobbyists for such corporations want to donate to the associations that fund...

According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation,1 osteoporosis affects approximately 1 in 10 women aged 60; 2 in 10 women aged 70; 4 in 10 women aged 80; and two-thirds of women aged 90. Prevalence in all age groups is far higher in women than in men. Across Europe, the rate of prevalence among men ranges between 6.7% and 6.9%. With osteoporosis — brittle bone — comes the risk of bone fractures due to a fall, and hip fractures in particular are notorious for raising an older individual’s risk of death.2 An estimated 34 million...
read moreFake Meat Is Junk Food
The junk food industry has a new product they are offering in exchange for your health and finances. Using strategies to position it as a healthy alternative for natural meat, the industry’s fake meat is just another name for ultraprocessed food, full of genetically engineered (GE) and pesticide-laden ingredients designed to look as much like meat as possible. In an effort to get you hooked on it, it’s marketed as healthier and better for the environment — which may lead you to believe you’re eating good food while protecting your local...

60 Minutes Australia took on glyphosate in a recent segment, calling it a “toxic villain … likely to be sitting on a shelf in the backyard shed of most Australian families.” In the video above, you can see their interview with DeWayne “Lee” Johnson, a former school groundskeeper who was awarded $289 million in damages after a jury ruled Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup caused his terminal cancer.1 The award was later slashed to $78 million,2 but it signaled the beginning of a running trend in Roundup cancer lawsuits.

read moreThe Disappearing Medical Exemption to Vaccination
Witnessing in their own words on the National Vaccine Information Center’s Cry for Vaccine Freedom Wall at NVIC.org, the suffering of people being abused by medical doctors enforcing one-size-fits-all vaccine policies is being revealed. Americans from all walks of life are describing the trauma of being threatened, coerced and punished by doctors violating the informed consent ethic,1,2,3 who have abandoned the precautionary principle of “First, do no harm”4,5 and are behaving more like prison guards than compassionate healers. When doctors...
read moreGenetically Engineered Mosquitoes Cross With Natural Species
Biotech company Oxitec has created genetically engineered (GE) mosquitoes in an attempt to control mosquito-borne diseases like yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and Zika. The male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have been genetically engineered to carry a “genetic kill switch,” such that when they mate with wild female mosquitoes, their offspring inherit the lethal gene and cannot survive or reproduce in the wild. Except, the GE mosquitoes have already been released in Brazil, and researchers monitoring the project have found the GE...
read moreResearch Project Takes Aim at Magnesium Deficiency
Many of the nutrients your body needs for optimal health must be derived from your diet, as your body cannot produce them. One crucial one that many are deficient in is magnesium. It’s the fourth most common cation (positively charged ion) in your body1 and is required for the functioning of more than 300 enzyme systems driving a diverse array of biological reactions.2,3 As noted in a 2018 scientific review,4,5 “because of chronic diseases, medications, decreases in food crop magnesium contents, and the availability of refined and processed...

The celery juice phenomenon is often attributed to Anthony William, who considers himself the originator of the Global Celery Juice Movement.1 The movement has received both social media and major media attention in The New York Times2 and LA Times3 among others. You can easily grow your own organic celery at home when you keep it cool, give it an unfailing supply of water and plant it in good soil.4 It’s important to choose organically grown celery as it’s one of the more contaminated vegetables available at the grocery store.

read moreIs Purple Cauliflower Better?
As a member of the Brassicaceae family,1 cauliflower is related to broccoli, cabbage, turnips and rutabaga.2 Plants in this family may be annuals, biennials or perennials. In the most common form, cauliflower is white. However, it’s a versatile vegetable that also comes in green, purple and orange varieties.3 White cauliflower will turn yellow when exposed to the sun, so farmers sometimes use the large outer leaves to cover the plant. The purple variety is called Sicilian Violet, Graffiti or Violet Queen. Anthocyanin is the...

Barbara Loe Fisher, cofounder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a nonprofit educational charity, has been a tireless human rights advocate for vaccine safety and informed consent for over 35 years.

[ ADD VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gdzgRXxy8o&feature=youtu.be] Garlic is an essential ingredient in most recipes as it provides a unique flavor and aroma to a dish.

read moreCan Strategic Sound Deter Loitering?
Noise probably doesn’t pop into your head as being a major public deterrent — unless you happen to live in an area with an excess of it. Noise pollution can cause problems with well-being and physical health, so it’s not a stretch to understand how noise could be used strategically for crowd control and even as a weapon. One controversial example is a device known as the “Mosquito,” which is being used as a tool to deter loitering in city parks and playgrounds. Although the device emits a high-pitched ringing noise, it can only be heard by...
