Posted by on Jun 5, 2019 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Top Health Agency Covering Up Biohazard Mishaps

In 1942, the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas was established to reduce the impact of malaria and other vector-borne diseases, such as typhus and West Nile virus, in the southeastern U.S. during World War II.

Impossible Burger Attacks Moms for Publishing Pesticide Results

Posted by on Jun 4, 2019 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Impossible Burger Attacks Moms for Publishing Pesticide Results

Impossible Foods is billing its Impossible Burger as a healthier, more sustainable option than beef, but when tested by consumer advocacy group Moms Across America (MAA), concerning levels of the herbicide glyphosate were found in the food.1 It’s not at all surprising, considering the Impossible patty is made mostly of genetically engineered (GE) soy protein, and in the U.S. about 94 percent of soybean acres are planted with such GE seeds, which are designed to tolerate glyphosate, i.e., Roundup, herbicides.2 This alone pokes holes in...

When Bayer acquired Monsanto in 2018 for about $63 billion, you have to wonder whether executives knew the extent of the liabilities they were inheriting.

Posted by on Jun 3, 2019 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Fasting Prevents and Halts Diabetes

Fasting has been practiced for centuries. In fact, science shows that, like animals, we have a fasting instinct that extends through the ages: Hippocrates prescribed and championed fasting while using apple cider vinegar.1 Religions around the world developed fasting independently as a practice and the Greeks not only prescribed it for illness, but required it in preparation for many rituals to contact supernatural forces. Fasting has also been used as a means of political protest. Gandhi fasted on at least 14 different occasions, three times...

If you’ve ever roamed the aisles where supplements are stocked, no doubt you’ve noticed — and possibly even tried — vitamins or minerals...
