The Telomere Scam

Posted by on May 22, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The Telomere Scam

Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide sequences at the end of each chromosome. Sometimes compared to the plastic tip on a shoelace, telomeres help protect DNA, preserving chromosome stability and preventing “molecular contact with neighboring chromosomes.”1 Evidence suggests telomere length may predict morbidity and mortality, with shorter telomeres linked to an increased risk of premature death.2 Longer telomere length has therefore been assumed to represent health and longevity, but the link is controversial. New research suggests, in fact,...

Posted by on May 22, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Remembering Ronnie Cummins – Organic Consumers Association

Ronnie Cummins, who tragically passed away April 26, 2023,1 was the undisputed leader in the regenerative food and farming movement for over two decades. During that time, we turned the tide against chemical agriculture and forced more transparency in our food systems. Ronnie was a founding member of Health Liberty, along with Barbara Loe Fisher at the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC). We partnered back in 2011 and started the funding to gather signatures in California’s Proposition 37 to label GMOs at a time when fewer than 5% of...

A Surprising Reason Why You May Need More Carbs in Your Diet

Posted by on May 21, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on A Surprising Reason Why You May Need More Carbs in Your Diet

In this interview, Georgi Dinkov and I continue our discussion about diet, diving into some of the finer details that can make or break your health. Dinkov is a student of Ray Peat, who passed away around Thanksgiving 2022, leaving behind a legacy of iconoclastic wisdom on how to optimize biological health. For example, a ketogenic diet can be very useful initially when transitioning people who are metabolically inflexible, which is about 95% of the population of the United States. So, in the short term, the vast majority of people can...

Posted by on May 20, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Gender Transition Surgery: Dreams Turned to Nightmares

In the video above, WhatsHerFace Entertainment dives into the “unspoken reality of transgender sexual reassignment surgery and all of the pain, regret and horrors it entails.” Most clear-headed adults would realize that surgically and chemically altering your anatomy from male to female, or female to male, is a complex and painful process. The problem is that it’s typically not level-headed adults making the decision to undergo gender reassignment. It’s primarily children who are being pushed into it, and they have no idea what they’re...

If You Live in a Major US City, It’s Probably Time to Move

Posted by on May 19, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on If You Live in a Major US City, It’s Probably Time to Move

Although this may seem to be an article focusing on Chicago, please realize Chicago is only being used as an example of the moral decay and corruption in virtually every major city in the United States. It serves as a stark warning to relocate if you are in one of these areas. As noted by ReallyGraceful in the video above, Chicago, Illinois, ought to be “a haven of the United States.” The third largest city in the U.S., it’s filled with world-class architecture and technological advancements. It’s a center for manufacturing and transportation...

Booming Demand for Obesity Pill to Solve Junk Food Problem

Posted by on May 18, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Booming Demand for Obesity Pill to Solve Junk Food Problem

As of 2021, the U.S. obesity rate among adults over the age of 20 was 41.9%.1 Unfortunately, people have been indoctrinated into thinking that “magic pills” are the answer, opposed to taking a long, hard look at your lifestyle, diet and eating habits. Wegovy (semaglutide), given as a weekly self-injection, has become so popular that, in early May 2023, Novo Nordisk announced it would cut the supply of starter doses for the U.S. market to “safeguard continuity of care” for existing patients.2 As reported by CNBC:3 “Novo Nordisk reported...

What Causes Water to Move Inside Your Body?

Posted by on May 18, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on What Causes Water to Move Inside Your Body?

This article was originally published here. One of the fascinating things about science is that while it is an excellent tool for discerning the nature of reality, it will simultaneously refuse to look at data with implications that challenge the existing scientific orthodoxy. So an unfortunate situation is created where science advances knowledge to a point but then reverses polarities and paradoxically becomes a barrier to that advancement. An excellent illustration of this dynamic can be seen with water, and as a result, many of its...

Is Too Much Iron in the Brain Causing Alzheimer’s?

Posted by on May 17, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Is Too Much Iron in the Brain Causing Alzheimer’s?

By 2050, an estimated 13 million Americans will have Alzheimer’s disease.1 But despite its prevalence, there’s no known cure and its causes are hotly debated. While it’s often said that an accumulation of amyloid beta plaques underlies Alzheimer’s, there appears to be more to the story. It’s been suggested the plaques may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s rather than its cause — and may even have a protective role.2 Iron in the brain may also be involved, according to a team of researchers from The University of...

Biowarfare Through the Food Supply

Posted by on May 17, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Biowarfare Through the Food Supply

In an April 17, 2023, opinion piece in STAT News,1 Dr. Peter Lurie and Beth Ellikidis argue for the genetic engineering of food, claiming “newer technologies can make highly targeted changes at the base-pair level — one specific rung on the DNA ladder — enhancing precision and reducing the likelihood of ‘off-target effects’ in which the base pairs are unintentionally added to or deleted from the genome.” While targeted genetic engineering is indeed possible, and modern technology lowers the likelihood of unintentional additions or deletions,...

Animal Waste From Factory Farms Poses Health Risk

Posted by on May 16, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Animal Waste From Factory Farms Poses Health Risk

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published October 30, 2018. Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) — gigantic factory farms that hold many thousands of animals in a warehouse-style setting — are an environmental disaster in more ways than one, and when hurricanes hit, this fact becomes acutely obvious when animal waste, collected in massive “lagoons,” overflow, contaminating both land, water and residential homes. Even under the best circumstances, the lagoons may leak, seeping millions of gallons of...

Thousands Have Developed Tinnitus After COVID Shots

Posted by on May 16, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Thousands Have Developed Tinnitus After COVID Shots

At least 16,183 people say they’ve developed tinnitus after receiving a COVID-19 shot.1,2 The reports were filed with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database. But considering only between 1%3 and 10%4 of adverse reactions are ever reported to VAERS, the actual number is likely much higher. Tinnitus causes a perception of sound in the ear without an external source. While the sound is often described as ringing in the ears, it can also be a whistling, buzzing, hissing,...
