Testing Sewage Sludge May Predict COVID-19 Outbreaks

Posted by on Jun 10, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Testing Sewage Sludge May Predict COVID-19 Outbreaks

Wastewater treatment has been a focus of environmental protection groups for years since the plants are not equipped to treat wastewater containing products of modern life, including toxic chemicals, drugs and cosmetics. It wasn’t until 1972 when the Clean Water Act1 was passed that pollution discharged into U.S. waterways began to be regulated. The Act is supposed to ensure clean water, but after nearly five decades the waterways are in serious trouble. Sources of pollution range from agricultural runoff and industrial release to worn...

Newborns To Be Separated From Parents for COVID-19 Testing

Posted by on Jun 9, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Newborns To Be Separated From Parents for COVID-19 Testing

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the biggest funder of vaccines in the entire world and, according to Gates, its COVID-19 vaccination effort “dwarfs anything we’ve ever worked on before.”1 Indeed, Gates push for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination — and investment in those vaccines — is historically unprecedented. In an April 30, 2020, GatesNotes post,2,3 Gates even states he “suspect[s] the COVID-19 vaccine will become part of the routine newborn immunization schedule.” In other words, a novel...

Carbon Cowboys Versus CAFOs

Posted by on Jun 9, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Carbon Cowboys Versus CAFOs

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many fragile industries to the breaking point and highlighted systemic problems in others, including the industrialized, centralized food system in the U.S. Major meat processing plants have emerged as hotspots for transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Prior to the Defense Production Act, which compels meat plants to stay open in order to protect the functioning of the U.S. meat and poultry supply chain, being invoked in April 2020, many were forced to shut down. As threats of meat...

Data Show Cannabis Terpenes May Slow COVID-19 Infection

Posted by on Jun 8, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Data Show Cannabis Terpenes May Slow COVID-19 Infection

The body of scientific evidence demonstrating the medicinal value of cannabis continues to grow and become more compelling. Your body makes its own cannabinoids that interact with the receptors in your brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, immune system and other organs, tissues and blood vessels. They are activated by the therapeutic and psychoactive properties of the plant.1 Cannabis can be bred to have high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) and low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content. THC has the psychoactive activity, while CBD has no...

CNN Spreads Deadly Lies About Vitamin D for COVID-19

Posted by on Jun 8, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on CNN Spreads Deadly Lies About Vitamin D for COVID-19

May 31, 2020, I posted an interview with three vitamin D experts in which we discuss the importance of vitamin D for preventing COVID-19 infection. A few days earlier, May 27, CNN published a report1 that could have deadly consequences if believed, claiming taking vitamin D supplements “can hurt a lot.” The article was written by Sandee LaMotte — a medical producer and writer for CNN and executive producer of video at pharma-biased WebMD. Three other CNN reporters, Emma Reynolds, Shelby Lin Erdman and Rob Picheta, also...

Rhonda Patrick on Vitamin C

Posted by on Jun 6, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Rhonda Patrick on Vitamin C

Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, is an essential nutrient that humans must get from their diet or supplements. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is perhaps most well-known for its antioxidant properties — properties it maintains because of an ability to donate electrons to oxidized molecules. In the video above, Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., discusses vitamin C in-depth, covering everything from its effects on immune function and viral infections to the bioavailability of different vitamin C...

Shortage of Organ Donors and Transplants From COVID-19

Posted by on Jun 6, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Shortage of Organ Donors and Transplants From COVID-19

During an organ transplant, physicians use the healthy organs and tissues from one individual and transplant them into another. In 2018, there were 36,527 organ transplants in the U.S., which set a record for the sixth straight year in a row.1 The total number has exceeded 750,000 since 1988, when the first transplant data were collected. Organ donation can be done in one of two ways. The first occurs when the donor is living and chooses to give an organ or tissue to another individual. Living donors can offer a kidney or part of a liver or...

Peak Internet — The Censorship Bubble Is About to Burst

Posted by on Jun 5, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Peak Internet — The Censorship Bubble Is About to Burst

Over the past year, I’ve written extensively about the initially creeping — and then sweeping — censorship occurring online. Initially, the censorship vortex was on vaccines. Social media platforms and Google all started suppressing and then outright banning content raising questions about vaccine safety. I warned everyone that this would eventually spread to other topics that might threaten a corporate bottom line. The only surprise was how quickly that happened. Within months, Google started shadow banning and hiding...

Nationwide Bike Shortage From Coronavirus

Posted by on Jun 5, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Nationwide Bike Shortage From Coronavirus

The COVID-19 pandemic, while crippling the economy as a whole, has led to business booms for a number of niche products, including bicycles. Looking to avoid public transportation such as buses and subways, urban residents are flocking to bike shops to pick up their own personal mode of transport in the form of a bike. Bicycling is also an enjoyable outdoor activity — one of a dwindling number of pastimes that’s been largely unaffected by stay-at-home orders and quarantines. There’s only one problem: Bicycles have risen in...

Quarantea — Health Benefits of Drinking Tea in Crisis

Posted by on Jun 4, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Quarantea — Health Benefits of Drinking Tea in Crisis

There are many well-documented medical benefits to tea consumption but during coronavirus shutdowns, the psychological benefits of a scheduled “tea time” with family are also significant. In the U.K., “afternoon tea,” traditionally served in the family room or garden, and “high tea,” traditionally served after work at the dining table, are part of the nation’s psyche.1 But now, during the shutdowns caused by COVID-19, tea rituals have become even more important in the U.K. because of their comforting...

Magnesium L-Threonate for Depression and Anxiety

Posted by on Jun 4, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Magnesium L-Threonate for Depression and Anxiety

The recent coronavirus pandemic has infected over 5 million people and has caused over 300,000 deaths. This pandemic has also caused school and business closings, social distancing, and has forced millions of people to be confined to their homes.  Social confinement can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress and depressed mood, and this can lead to other negative health consequences. Although people can exercise and seek counseling, nutrients can make a difference with the most important one being magnesium. Approximately 50% of American...

Undetectable Engineering Methods Used to Create SARS-CoV-2

Posted by on Jun 3, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Undetectable Engineering Methods Used to Create SARS-CoV-2

Is the COVID-19 pandemic the result of a manmade virus? And, if so, what does that say about mankind’s ability to safely conduct gain-of-function experiments? “Gain-of-function” refers to experiments in which a pathogen is altered to give it new or added functionality, such as the ability to infect humans, when before it could not, or increased infectiousness or lethality, for example. A decade ago, Dr. Anthony Fauci defended and promoted gain-of-function research on bird flu viruses, saying such research was worth the risk...

Tech Billionaires Aiming at a Global Currency

Posted by on Jun 3, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Tech Billionaires Aiming at a Global Currency

Bartering and the exchange of currency have long and interesting histories. We’ve gone from trading products and metal coins to exchanging paper notes and now cryptocurrency, based on digital encryption. While it might seem that cryptocurrency is a natural next step in financial evolution, remember that just because something is possible doesn’t mean it’s better. Bitcoin was the first established cryptocurrency to hit the market.1 It is based on an online “currency” secured through encryption. The first hint of...
