In 2021, 529 million people had diabetes worldwide, for a prevalence of 6.1%, making it among the top 10 leading causes of death and disability.1 However, this figure may roughly double by 2050, reaching more than 1.31 billion,2 according to a team of scientists with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine.3 The systematic analysis used data from the Global Burden of Diseases study, revealing that diabetes prevalence in regions such as North Africa and the Middle East...

Posted by on Jul 26, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on What Can You Do to Help Prevent Cataracts?

In the video above, Dr. Eric Berg, a chiropractor and health educator, reviews what he believes are some of the best natural alternatives to prevent and/or treat cataracts. Cataracts1 is an eye condition that causes your vision to blur due to a buildup of proteins on the lens of your eye. Left untreated, cataracts can result in progressive loss of vision and, ultimately, blindness. Risk factors for cataracts include heavy alcohol use, smoking, older age, diabetes, toxic substances, certain medications and trauma to the eye.2 Signs and...

Stunning Results From Sunscreen Testing

Posted by on Jul 26, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Stunning Results From Sunscreen Testing

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published May 30, 2018. While regular, consistent, sensible sun exposure is vital for optimal health and well-being — having many benefits beyond vitamin D production — overexposure can result in skin damage that could raise your risk of skin cancer. This means if you’re spending the day at the beach or engaging in outdoor activities for hours at a stretch, you likely need to bring some form of sun protection. While clothing is an ideal choice, most people opt for...

COVID Censorship Proved To Be Deadly

Posted by on Jul 25, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on COVID Censorship Proved To Be Deadly

We’ve just witnessed the biggest attack on freedom of speech in U.S. history. And it appears the writing is on the wall for “the most important free speech lawsuit of this generation,” in which the federal government was sued for working with social media companies to censor Americans.1 U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty issued a preliminary injunction, siding with the plaintiffs that the U.S. government colluded with social media companies to censor free speech. “If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably...

Was COVID a Bioweapon That Targets Certain Races?

Posted by on Jul 25, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on Was COVID a Bioweapon That Targets Certain Races?

According to mainstream media, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently made claims about COVID-19 being an ethnically targeted bioweapon. Yahoo! News,1 for example, reported that “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. baselessly claimed COVID-19 may have been ‘ethnically targeted’ … He said Caucasians and black people were most susceptible, and Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people were most immune.” The New York Post claimed “RKF Jr. Says COVID May Have Been ‘Ethnically Targeted’ to Spare Jews.”2 According to Yahoo! News, Kennedy “did not...

Antibiotics Linked to Increased Risk of Kidney Stones

Posted by on Jul 24, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Antibiotics Linked to Increased Risk of Kidney Stones

According to research1 published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) in 2018, oral antibiotics are a risk factor for kidney stones. Health records for 13 million children and adults in the U.K. were reviewed, showing that exposure to five classes of oral antibiotics were associated with kidney stones within three to 12 months post-use. The adjusted odds ratio of kidney stones was: 1.27 for broad-spectrum penicillin 1.67 for fluoroquinolones 1.70 for nitrofurantoin/methenamine 1.88 for cephalosporins 2.33 for sulfas The...

How Biden Plans to Block the Sun to Save the Planet

Posted by on Jul 24, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on How Biden Plans to Block the Sun to Save the Planet

Solar radiation modification (SRM) is a form of geoengineering that aims to cool off the Earth by reflecting sunlight back into space.1 The controversial strategy comes with significant risks, but that didn’t stop the White House from moving forward with a research plan for “solar and other rapid climate interventions.”2 The congressionally mandated research plan is focused on atmospheric-based approaches, such as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening (MCB), as opposed to space-based approaches,...

Why Molecular Hydrogen Is a Superior Antioxidant

Posted by on Jul 23, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Why Molecular Hydrogen Is a Superior Antioxidant

In this interview, repeat guest Tyler LeBaron, MSc., Ph.D., reviews some of the many benefits of molecular hydrogen (H2). Perhaps most importantly, molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, meaning it doesn’t indiscriminately suppress free radicals. It uses your body’s own biological systems and feedback loops to identify where and when you’re under oxidative stress, and when found, antioxidant genes are stimulated and key antioxidants are transcribed from your DNA. So, molecular hydrogen is not in and of itself a...

More recently, Werner created a community...

Regenerative Medicine and the Cell Danger Response

Posted by on Jul 22, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Regenerative Medicine and the Cell Danger Response

In the first part of this series, I introduced the concept of the Cell Danger Response (CDR), an ancient defensive mechanism cells enter in response to environmental stressors. The CDR is orchestrated by the mitochondria, which switch from a metabolic type that produces energy that sustains the cell to a metabolic state focused on defending the cell (thereby making the cell much more resistant to otherwise lethal injuries). Once the CDR is activated, the cell enters a partially dormant state (as many cellular functions depend upon the regular...

A Critical Look at ‘The China Study’ and Other Food Plans

Posted by on Jul 22, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on A Critical Look at ‘The China Study’ and Other Food Plans

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published July 8, 2018. Denise Minger is perhaps most noted for her comprehensive rebuttal of “The China Study” some eight years ago. She’s heavily vested in the vegan versus omnivore battle, having cycled through vegetarianism and raw veganism, finally coming full circle to being an omnivore. Minger took to vegetarianism when she was just 7 years old. “I was eating steak one night at dinner and almost choked on it. I developed some kind of phobia...

Psychological Warfare: A Bag of Tricks

Posted by on Jul 21, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Psychological Warfare: A Bag of Tricks

This story is about being stronger than any monster’s psychological tricks. Introduction In the medical freedom movement, we often discuss psychological trickery in the context of the technocrats and their attempt at the not-so-great reset — but of course, the need for good people to effectively counter dark-hearted liars is as old as the world. In the course of human history, there has been no lack of contenders for the role of super predators.There has been no lack of dark-hearted, cold-blooded individuals seeking power over others though...

The Pandemic of Lies

Posted by on Jul 21, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The Pandemic of Lies

The video above features a lecture that Del Bigtree gave in early 2023 in California. Bigtree is the founder and CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) and hosts the internet talk show “The Highwire.” When the COVID pandemic hit, “antivaxxers” were suddenly named as one of the Top 10 health threats worldwide. That’s when Bigtree realized we were really getting somewhere, and public trust in Big Pharma and our health authorities has continued to dwindle since then, as more and more truth is getting out. “What I can prove is what...

Brushing, Flossing Could Help Protect Against Dementia

Posted by on Jul 20, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Brushing, Flossing Could Help Protect Against Dementia

Dementia has been added to the long list of health problems potentially associated with poor oral health. The finding, published in Neurology,1 suggests dental health is associated with hippocampal atrophy — shrinkage of the hippocampus brain region that serves as a marker for Alzheimer’s disease.2 In short, “Retaining more healthy teeth without periodontal disease may help to protect brain health,” study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, an associate professor at Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry in Sendai, Japan, explains.3 Since...
