Posted by on Aug 30, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on $10 Billion PFAS Payout Just the Tip of the Iceberg

June 22, 2023,1 the American multinational conglomerate, 3M, agreed to pay $10.3 billion to at least 300 communities2 in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) to clean up “forever chemicals” in the water supplies. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down easily in the environment and they bioaccumulate in people and wildlife. In the human body, PFAS have half-lives of two to five years.3 These widely used chemicals have been added to industry and consumer...

Is This the End of Natural Health Information?

Posted by on Aug 29, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Is This the End of Natural Health Information?

Censorship is ramping up at a rapid clip, and much of it is clearly directed by the U.S. federal government, despite a federal judge’s order prohibiting federal agencies and officials from communicating with social media companies about content moderation.1 In recent days, several news stories have highlighted governments’ and Big Tech’s intent to increase censorship. There’s even a rumor that Google will ban independent media from its search results altogether.2 I’ve not been able to confirm this, but considering everything else going on,...

Posted by on Aug 28, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Little-Known Spice Helps Control Appetite and Burn Calories

Reversing Chronic Diseases in Children

Posted by on Aug 27, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Reversing Chronic Diseases in Children

In the featured video, I interview Beth Lambert, who in 2009 founded Epidemic Answers, a research organization focused on helping children with autism and other chronic diseases. When I graduated medical school, the incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000. For the first decade of my medical practice, I didn’t have a single autistic patient. By the mid- to late-1990s, I was treating hundreds of autistic children in my practice, and since then, autism has reached truly epidemic proportions. In her 2010 book, “A Compromised Generation:...

What Really Happened in Maui?

Posted by on Aug 26, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on What Really Happened in Maui?

One of my main goals with this platform has been to help and support people who do not have the voice be heard (e.g., the forgotten victims of medicine). Since the Maui Wildfires started, I have received a lot of requests over email from readers in Hawaii to discuss what is happening there, so I’ve spent the last week trying to get a clear idea of that and what I can share which will be the most helpful to the people in Maui. Video Reports There have been a lot of videos going around describing differing narratives over what happened in Maui....

Protect Yourself From Disease and Outrageous Medical Costs

Posted by on Aug 26, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on Protect Yourself From Disease and Outrageous Medical Costs

In the U.S., 66.5% of bankruptcies are due to medical bills, which amounts to 530,000 medical bankruptcies each year.1 Among those who file bankruptcy due to medical expenses, 72% have health insurance,2,3 highlighting the outrageous state of health care in America. If you end up in the hospital, you know you’re going to receive a bill — but you don’t typically know how much that bill will be. It’s no wonder that two-thirds of adults worry about being able to afford surprise medical bills like these.4,5 In fact, in a survey of public...

Are You Excited to Drink Treated Toilet Water?

Posted by on Aug 25, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Are You Excited to Drink Treated Toilet Water?

This story is about humiliation sold to the people as “fighting climate change.” To be specific, it’s about forcing the people to explicitly and inevitably use processed toilet water for drinking and other household use. Yes, implicitly, we have all been ingesting “mystery” ingredients in our drinking water, in our air and food for years. Yes, industrial companies have been dumping their waste into rivers for God knows how long (and before the Clean Water Act of 1972, it was not even considered “bad”). But right now they are trying to make...

How Raw Milk Is Bridging a Gap Between Political Parties

Posted by on Aug 24, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on How Raw Milk Is Bridging a Gap Between Political Parties

It’s now legal to purchase raw milk in the state of Iowa, with caveats, making it the latest state to protect residents’ food freedom. The move came after Governor Kim Reynolds signed Senate File 315 into law,1 which allows farmers to sell unpasteurized milk directly to consumers as of July 1, 2023.2 Humans have been consuming “raw” milk, also known as fresh milk, for thousands of years.3 It’s the only kind of milk there was. But the ability to access raw milk has become restricted for Americans in many states, making it necessary...

The Hilarious Fact Check About COVID Gene Therapy Vaccines

Posted by on Aug 23, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The Hilarious Fact Check About COVID Gene Therapy Vaccines

mRNA COVID-19 shots are still being called “vaccines,” even though they fulfill all the definitions of gene therapy and none of the definitions for a vaccine. The fact that the jabs are gene therapy, yet were mandated on entire populations without adequate testing, adds another nefarious layer to the many atrocities that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mainstream media went right along with the farce, spewing propaganda that mRNA COVID shots “are distinct from gene therapy.” But even their “fact checking” is laughable,1 as it tries to...

Increasing Heart Attacks in Young Athletes

Posted by on Aug 23, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Increasing Heart Attacks in Young Athletes

Data1 have revealed that more people are having heart attacks, and that more of those people are younger than 50 years. This is notable as this trend appears to have started well before COVID-19. Your heart is about the size of your fist and beats roughly 100,000 times every day. This little muscle pumps about eight pints of blood through your circulatory system. The heart has three layers: The endocardium is a thin layer that lines the four chambers; the pericardium is a thin layer that surrounds the heart; the myocardium is the muscle in...
