[…]and potential other prosecutions. But even before the deal was announced, it was facing resistance from state attorneys general, Democratic members of Congress and advocates who wrote Attorney General William Barr asking him not to make the bargain with the company and the family. They said it does not hold them properly accountable and they raised concerns about some of the details.

[…]Reviews, researchers uncovered evidence that processed foods weaken the intestine’s resistance to bacteria, toxins and other hostile nutritional and not nutritional elements. This increases the risk of autoimmune diseases. “In recent decades there has been a decrease in incidence of infectious diseases, but at the same time there has been an increase in the incidence of allergic diseases, cancer and autoimmune diseases. Since the weight of genetic changes is insignificant in such a short period, the scientific community is searching for the causes at the environmental level.” — study co-author Aaron Lerner, MD Here are the 7 food additives that trigger damage in the tight junctions […]
[…]who secreted higher levels of insulin in response to carbohydrate intake, a barometer for insulin resistance, did not necessarily do better on the low-carb diet a “high-quality diet” produced substantial weight loss and the percentage of calories from fat or carbs did not matter While it’s true that very often “dieters” regain what they lose, according to Dr. Gardner the people who lost the most weight reported that the study had “changed their relationship with food.” He stressed that it’s not that calories don’t matter but, rather, once you train your mind and body to want foods that are nutritious, […]
[…]that adoption of genetically modified-varieties, including those with herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, or stacked traits, accounted for 94 percent of the nation’s cotton acreage. The graph below from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates an upward trend on the country’s adoption of genetically modified soybean, corn, and cotton. Monsanto maintains the safety of their product, citing its approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which “classified the carcinogenicity potential of glyphosate as Category E: ‘evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans.’” Monsanto is also demanding a retraction of the World Health Organization’s classification of glyphosate as a possible carcinogen. This is not the first time […]
[…]in certain areas of the school.” – Rodney Palmer Do children have a particularly low resistance to wireless radiation? According to Rodney Palmer, many school-aged children report a negative reaction from exposure to Wifi since its introduction to public schools. These children cite headaches, irregular heart rate, and blackouts as potential reactions to the technology. “Anyone could make the argument that you could safely spray any amount of pesticide on any person for any amount of time, although that once thought to be okay, and that’s the current government thinking with microwave radiation.” – Rodney Palmer If you’re an adult […]
[…]is currently conducting tests in Miami to see if mosquitoes in the area have developed insecticide resistance. Florida had been using two products in the pyrethroid class of insecticides. In its aerial campaign, the state will use a chemical called Naled that has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to Joseph Conlon, a spokesman for the American Mosquito Control Association.” Interestingly, the CDC wanted to spray in Puerto Rico as well but their altruistic “recommendation” was met with protests from concerned residents who are worried about the potential impact on health, bees, agriculture, and their environment. An […]

We use tea tree oil sparingly and no antibacterial soaps nor anything from these brands which many experts say aren’t great for the environment, animals (experimentation) or adults and kids. ~ FDA Proposes Ban On Antibacterial Soaps […]
[…]carbs with unsaturated fats has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin resistance and levels of HbA1c, a marker for long-term blood sugar control. In one study, participants who consumed a breakfast with added almond oil had lower blood sugar, both after the meal and throughout the day, compared to participants who did not eat almond oil. What’s more, the participants who consumed almond oil felt fuller after their meal, leading them to consume less throughout the day. Almond Oil May Help with Weight Loss A diet rich in healthy fats may help you lose weight. Many people […]
[…]sugar for energy rather than oxygen. In the laboratory this drug/vitamin combo overcame treatment resistance as well. Researchers were initially investigating fenbendazole because it was interfering with anti-tumor studies with other drugs. Given that pinworms are a common problem in laboratories where mice are employed in pre-clinical testing of anti-cancer drugs, use of fenbendazole to clear these animals of parasites is standard practice. Unexpectedly, fenbendazole halted the growth of implanted human lymphoma cells in rodents. Whereas implanted tumors take hold and grow 80-100% of the time, in this experiment none of the implanted tumors grew among 40 animals over a 30-day […]
[…]these aims will come to fruition as multiple types of GM crops in the U.S. have faced stiff resistance from “superbugs” and weeds that have spring up in opposition to them in the field. The rice has not been approved for mass cultivation yet, however, has been approved by the U.S. FDA in an email to Lin Yongjun, a professor at Huazhong Agricultural University, a developer of the rice. The FDA reportedly approved the rice based on the safety and nutritional assessment conducted by the university itself. Still, online commenters have not been kind to the news in China. RELATED […]
[…]the feedback loop between the brain and the adrenals is fried, so there is miscommunication and resistance about when and how to release stress hormones. (read more about the HPA axis here). Adrenal fatigue starts isn’t the fault of the adrenals per se; it’s a dysfunction between the brain and adrenal glands. Your adrenals are 2 small glands that sit atop your kidneys and produce cortisol and sex hormones. In many ways the HPA axis and the adrenals are the command and control center for your body, and they help you manage your stress levels, hormone levels, thyroid function, sleep, […]
[…]polish remover, nail polish, top coat, base coat, and hand lotion. Sure, sometimes I meet some resistance, but it’s a small price to pay to get the chemicals out. You can check out the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep project and Campaign for Safe Cosmetics for some safe nail products. Efforts to get nail salons to follow safer practices has not been very successful. In California, for example, an attempt to ban dibutyl phthalate from cosmetics sold or made in the state was eventually shot down because of lobbying by the cosmetics companies. A much-watered down bill passed that requires […]
[…]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 […]
(Editor’s note: I grew up minutes from this school in Indiana. I can’t imagine how concerned these parents and children must be following this unfortunate incident.) More than a dozen Indiana students were sent to the hospital after being given the wrong shot at Lawrence Township school on Monday. The school district said sixteen students were undergoing a TB screening at McKenzie Center for Innovation and Technology when medical staff from Community Health Network gave them a shot of insulin instead.

[…]chronic kidney disease, asthma, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), immunization resistance in children, early menopause, and colon ulcers.”3 For much of the 20th century, PFAS chemicals were used by the chemical industry (companies like 3M and DuPont as well as firefighting foam and military bases) and not disposed of properly- hence the groundwater contamination we’ve recently seen in Michigan. While PFAS chemicals have been phased out by some companies, they are still found in products like stain-resistant carpets and fabrics, food packaging, raincoats, and even some cosmetics. There’s a good chance that even household dust might, therefore, have elevated concentrations of the chemicals.) So […]
[…]lipid levels in the blood, liver, and feces, and blood insulin levels as an indication of insulin resistance in animals with diet-induced obesity who did or did not receive supplementation with dietary yerba mate. “Obesity and diabetes have become problems that can’t be managed by pharmaceuticals alone. This study suggests a safe alternative to managing weight and reducing blood lipids and glucose,” says Journal of Medicinal Food Editor-in-Chief Sampath Parthasarathy, MBA, PhD, Florida Hospital Chair in Cardiovascular Sciences and Interim Associate Dean, College of Medicine, University of Central Florida. *Article originally appeared at Prevent […]

These first 12 were just an interim step.”1 Environmental groups, thankfully, are pressuring the EPA for a full ban on ALL neonics use outdoors in the coming years, based on related endangered species concerns. In fact, the European Union […]
Did you know that infusing cannabis into wine has been practiced for thousands of years? Early records from the Han Dynasty in China point to the ganja and grape combo being used to knock out patients before surgery. In the United States, cannabis-infused wine was quietly developed in the 80s, in California, where “pot wine” was something wine makers would ferment and share with friends or at private gatherings. It was generally made with rosé wines, in unlabeled bottles, and quite expensive and the war on drugs made it a risky business. As marijuana laws are changing and make it more accessible, wine drinkers in states like California are increasingly […]
[…]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 […]
[…]Melatonin treatment reduced body weight gain, visceral adiposity, blood triglycerides and insulin resistance in a model of high-calorie diet-induced metabolic syndrome.16 Likewise, a single daily administration of melatonin decreased visceral fat in middle-aged mice,17 and after melatonin treatment aged rats showed weight reduction, preceded by an increase in insulin signalling in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues.18 In addition, melatonin might have a direct anorexigenic action regulating hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene expression.19 In ageing animals, melatonin and moderate exercise training induced a reduction in food intake associated with a reduction in body weight and amount of visceral adipose […]
