Man is charged tax on energy he creates himself from solar panels
[…]be done before we can repair the damage done to the world by extracting and burning fossil fuels. Resistance to renewable sources of energy is usually brought up by those who are heavily invested in the old ways, but there are still those out there that can see through the smoke and understand that if we want to keep this planet healthy for generations to come, we need to start today.

This miracle weed killer was supposed to save farms. Instead, it’s devastating them.
[…]even more toxic to soybeans, the crop it was designed to protect, that haven’t been modified for resistance. (That reminds me of Gardasil, it’s supposed to protect against cancer but has caused it in many women.) It’s been estimated by a University of Missouri researcher that more than 3.1 million acres of soybeans have been damaged by dicamba, in at least 16 states (some of which are major producers). So, how exactly was a system this dangerous, approved for use? “Critics say that the approval process proceeded without adequate data and under enormous pressure from state agriculture departments, industry […]
Scientists: Children need microbes, not antibiotics, to develop immunity
[…]here’s a small taste… “We’ve been hearing for some time that overusing antibiotics may lead to antibiotic-resistant hospital infections, something we may associate with the elderly and other immune-compromised people. But I gather the implications are much more immediate and individual than that. What’s the connection between microbes and the development of the immune system in childhood? When we’re born we do not have any microbes. Our immune system is underdeveloped. But as soon as microbes come into the picture, they kick-start our immune system to work properly. Without microbes our immune system can’t fight infections well. It’s not just […]
Slate: Taking your full course of antibiotics isn’t helping prevent the spread of resistance; it’s fueling it.
[…]or stop taking something if we don’t need it. We are LOOOOOONNNNNGGG past protecting against antibiotic resistance!) RELATED ARTICLE: Study: Manuka honey kills more bacteria than all available antibiotics Enter Brad Spellberg, the chief medical officer for the Los Angeles County and University of Southern California Medical Center at the University of Southern California. He’s pretty sure we ARE smart enough to figure these things out with a little bit of clarity and instruction. He says: First things first: “It is absolutely false that continuing to take antibiotics after you feel completely better will reduce the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Quite […]
How the food and drug companies ensure that we get sick and they make money
[…]by providing pesticide-filled GMO corn and soy, fed mostly to dairy cows, and with most of their antibiotic products going to fatten up the animals most of us eat. Hypocritical: Our Watchdog Non-Profits on the Payroll of Big Ag At the time of the documentary, beef and/or dairy menu items were promoted on the websites of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the Susan G.

Most cheese products tainted with dangerous plastic chemicals, study reveals
[…]as well as learning disabilities, aggression, hyperactivity, increased blood pressure, insulin resistance in older males, endometriosis in women, and a variety of other adverse effects. There is strong evidence that phthalates interfere with testosterone production, a hormone vital to normal reproductive development. Deficiency results in several reproductive abnormalities including genital malformation, low sperm count, and even increased risk for testicular cancer later in life. Phthalates are clearly a health risk even at very low levels of exposure, especially for pregnant women, infants and children. In the cheese study, researchers tested for 10 different phthalates in a variety of products, including 10 varieties of […]
Breaking: Canada approves three types of genetically engineered potatoes
[…]Simplot says their GM potatoes have been spliced with only potato genes and that “the resistance to late blight comes from an Argentine variety of potato that naturally produced a defense.”The potatoes also have “reduced bruising and black spots, enhanced storage capacity and a lower amount of a chemical that’s a potential carcinogen and is created when potatoes are cooked at high temperatures.” RELATED ARTICLE: Why Have 45 Prominent Health Experts Revolted Against This New Film? The potatoes are currently available for purchase in 40 states and 4,000 supermarkets. So, be on the lookout. Or better yet, just buy […]
Smart Meters: Countdown to a National Crisis of Illness and Death
[…]radiation through the air many times per minute, 24-hours a day. RELATED ARTICLE: Is the Resistance To Smart Meters Justified? This Is The Shocking Truth Smart meters also add high frequency electromagnetic radiation in the kilohertz frequency band to the electrical wiring of every building where they are attached. This electromagnetic radiation is also harmful. It turns the electric wiring in buildings into giant antennas that fill the interior spaces with radiation frequencies that are known to alter human biological functioning. These same frequencies are used in medical research to block the activity of nerves. The nationwide installation of smart […]
Watch as doctors remove 10 lbs of meat worms from a bodybuilder’s colon
[…]of sick animals- even their own young. RELATED ARTICLE: NBC: FDA Moves to Ban Cancer-Causing Pork Antibiotic But why does that mean we shouldn’t eat them? Well, pig’s digest their food in about four hours (it takes a cow about twenty-four) and that quick digestion process leaves a lot of toxins, something cows and humans are able to shed during the digestive process, present in their bodies. Pigs also don’t have sweat glands, another detoxifying tool. So, that pork chop you might consider eating, because it’s leaner, is actually loaded with more toxins than beef and chicken. And, often times, pigs […]
Yacón Syrup: a sweetener that won’t increase blood sugar or make you gain weight
[…]tie this sugar with numerous problems including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, pancreatic cancer, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). How Yacón Syrup Can Help You Lose Weight Despite those problems, high amounts prebiotics like FOS and nutrients in yacón syrup seem to override its relatively high fructose load to help you lose weight. RELATED ARTICLE: Still Struggling With Weight? Could Be This Dietary Mistake Other studies verify those benefits. Besides the aforementioned Dr. Oz-plugged one, a human study gave 48 overweight adults oligo-fructose (essentially what yacón is made up of) or a placebo (maltodextrin) for 12 weeks. While weight loss wasn’t very impressive (a little over 2 pounds, versus […]

Deserves further investigation because, similar to ketamine, valid testing methods have been developed only for beef. • Three instances of penicillin residue at up to 0.285 ppb, for which the residue regulatory limit is zero. • Positive test results for the pesticides abamectin and Emamectin, using testing methods that apply to pork. “Consumers should be alarmed that any food they eat contains steroids, recreational or anti-inflammatory drugs, or antibiotics prohibited for use […]
In Defense of Coconut Oil: Rebuttal to USA Today
[…]to be “an efficient nutraceutical in preventing the development of diet induced insulin resistance and associated complications possibly through its antioxidant efficacy” (Narayanankutty et al., 2016). Research supports the use of coconut oil for obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, and pathologically elevated LDL, all of which constitute risk factors for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s, the last of which is being re-conceptualized as type 3 diabetes (Fernando et al., 2015). In addition, in a prospective study of patients with Alzheimer’s, improvements in cognitive function were observed for patients administered extra virgin coconut oil, since “medium chain triglycerides are a direct […]

9 signs you aren’t eating enough
[…]difficulty getting pregnant. 5. Sleep Issues Sleep deprivation has been found to lead to insulin resistance and weight gain in dozens of studies. In addition, while overeating may cause sleeping difficulty, it appears that strict dieting can lead to sleep problems as well. Animal and human research has shown that starvation-level calorie restriction leads to sleep interruptions and a reduction in slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep. In one study of 381 college students, restrictive diets and other eating problems were linked to poor sleep quality and low mood. In another small study of 10 young women, four weeks […]

Study: Manuka honey kills more bacteria than all available antibiotics
[…]the scientific journal Peer J, chronic wounds are becoming a major global health problem, due to antibiotic resistance issues. They are costly and difficult to treat, and bacterial biofilms are important contributors to the delay in healing. There is an urgent need for new, effective agents in topical wound care, and honey has shown some great potential in this regard. RELATED ARTICLE: Honey Out-Performs Antibiotics in Fighting Superbugs For their study, researchers reviewed Manuka honey in particular as an alternative treatment for wounds because of its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and the inability of bacteria to develop resistance to it. Their study indicated […]
