[…]for much of manuka honey’s medicinal prowess, which includes the ability to combat complex antibiotic-resistant infections. If you’re buying fake Manuka, you’re not only losing out on health benefits, but could worsen your problem as highly processed sugar from high fructose corn syrup feeds bacteria that authentic Manuka would suppress. You’re also burning a big hole in your pocketbook, as Manuka honey is among the most expensive honeys in the world. The Fraud Runs Deep Class action lawsuits filed over the last five years reveal the “honey laundering” scheme runs deep — all the way to True Source Honey, one […]

Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced that she had secured the automated dismissal of 66,000 marijuana convictions in Los Angeles County alone. In total, the State Attorney’s office announced that there have now been 85,000 cases expunged in all of California. According to the LA Times, Lacey filed the motion asking a judge to erase 62,000 felony convictions dating back to 1961 and 4,000 misdemeanor convictions in a total of 10 cities across the county on Thursday. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Sam Ohta signed off on the order Tuesday. That means 22,000 civilians will no longer carry felonies on their records […]
[…]herbicide resistance. In the United States, there are over 155 weed species with confirmed resistance to one or more herbicides. To reduce weed resistance in the future, the EPA defined some restrictions on the amount of glyphosate to be used per acre for all of the different uses. For example, up to 8 pounds per acre may be used per year on forestry land. Farming consultant Frank Dean states “These amounts are still far too much and will impact the quality of the soil and crops.” The USA has 421,302 acres of forestry land, so there is a potential market […]
The head of Harvard’s chemistry and chemical biology department, Charles Lieber, was charged Tuesday with making false statements about his involvement with China’s program to recruit foreign researchers. Lieber’s contract with the program, Thousand Talents, afforded him a monthly salary of up to $50,000 and annual living expenses of more than $150,000 over three years, according to an affidavit supporting the criminal complaint against Lieber unsealed on Tuesday. He was also given more than $1.7 million by the Chinese government and the Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) to set up a lab and conduct research at the university. RELATED STORY: […]

[…]that are intended for consumption. The application only refers to testing in mice of the NPTII antibiotic resistance gene product, though it does not mention how long the tests lasted. It’s almost certain that long-term effects were not tested for. In addition, the substance tested was the NPTII protein as expressed in E. coli bacteria, not as expressed in the actual GM cotton. This is inadequate due to a phenomenon known as post-translational modification, which means that a protein can be different from its original form when it is expressed in a new genetically engineered organism. Specifically, it could change […]

The main components of the plant, THC and CBD, have been found beneficial in the treatment of lung, blood skin, and liver cancer, among others, but until recently have been kept illegal by big money interests like the alcohol and prison industries, which benefit from the illegality of these highly medicinal compounds. Many anecdotal cases also exist of patients who believe that cannabis cured their cancer, including Cheryl Pearson who […]

RELATED STORY: We add it to drinking water for our teeth — but is fluoride hurting us? The FDA began to restrict some chemicals, including triclosan, in 2016 because studies found they were not safe for long-term daily use. In April, the FDA finally completely banned it for use in over-the-counter hand sanitizers. However, it remains in some products, and one of them is toothpaste. Past studies looking at triclosan in toothpaste have suggested it is safe, but clearly more research is […]

Glyphosate is now linked to kidney disease, antibiotic resistant bacteria, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, depression, ADHD, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, cancer, cachexia, infertility, and developmental malformations. It destroys the microbiome of humans and plants, which is the root cause of many modern diseases.

[…]as, despite removal of the maximum dietary fat intake restriction from guidelines, a major resistance against saturated fats remains. Setting aside the issue of whether or not saturated fats should be restricted at all, given the abundance of contrary evidence in the medical literature, the Edinburgh Medical School researcher reported that such guidelines do not distinguish between different types of saturated fats. Saturated fats can be found in animal products, such as butter, as well as plant sources, such as coconuts and date palms. The rise in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) with coconut oil consumption is certainly a compelling finding. Results from a […]
Overeating has been found to impair blood sugar (glucose) control and insulin levels. A new study suggests that the duration of a bout of overeating can affect how the body adapts glucose and insulin processing when calorie intake increases. The research was published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism. Obesity and type 2 diabetes have increased significantly worldwide within the past 30 years. Lifestyle factors such as overindulging in high-calorie foods play a large role in the development of these two serious health conditions. Understanding how snacking and overeating causes changes in blood sugar control […]

The relevance of propionate to insulin resistance and obesity in humans was also suggested in a large, long-term, dietary interventional study (DIRECT), in which the reduction in plasma propionate in response to a weight-loss diet was independently associated with improved insulin sensitivity.”1 Furthermore, the researchers wisely state in their study that there are alternatives that could be used for food preservation that would yield public health benefits, such as vinegar, essential oils and wheat starches. They also warn that repeated daily […]

[…]state that keeps a watchful eye on everyone, in search of possible rebels and points of resistance. Censorship is the norm in this world, and is so extreme that individuals can become “unpersons” who are essentially deleted from society because their ideas were considered dangerous by the establishment.

[…]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 […]
[…]in the blood, but that the body doesn’t recognize the insulin it’s making.”1 And insulin resistance is a potential cause of cancer because both high insulin and insulin resistance will promote the production of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1, which regulates cell growth on the one hand but can also stimulate the growth of cancer cells.

[…]that antibiotics they commonly used 10 years ago are no longer effective. Each time we take an antibiotic, bacteria can develop the same kind of resistance in our bodies, which is why the overuse of the drugs is so dangerous. Americans are among the highest consumers of antibiotics in the world. More than 250 million prescriptions are written every year. One-third of them unnecessary, according to the centers for disease control. And in India – and many other developing countries – antibiotic use is on the rise and you can often buy the drugs over the counter, no prescription required. […]

[…]little nutritional value. Research has linked refined carb consumption to inflammation, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and obesity. In contrast, whole grains — which provide more nutrients and fiber — may reduce inflammation and promote better gut health. In one study in 2,834 people, those who consumed mostly whole grains were less likely to have excess belly fat than those who focused on refined grains. If you eat grains, choose the least processed kinds, such as sprouted grain bread and steel-cut oats. Stay away from ready-to-eat cereals, white bread, and other refined carbs.
