[…]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 […]
[…]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.

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 […]
[…]childhood dream was to become a police officer, and that she joined the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in high school and went on ride-alongs with the Arlington, Texas, Police Department. The mother said Guyger left college her junior year when she was accepted into the police academy in Dallas. “She was so excited when she found out,” Karen Guyger said. The mother said that Guyger’s bubbly personality dramatically changed after she killed Jean. “She wanted to take his place. She’d always tell me she wished she could have taken his place. She feels very bad about it,” the […]
(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.

Tepco also faces resistance from fishermen, after the utility company admitted last year that the water in its tanks still included contaminants beside tritium. Senior nuclear specialist with Greenpeace Germany, Shaun Burnie,said in an email: “The government must commit to the only environmentally acceptable option for managing this water crisis which is long term storage and processing to remove radioactivity, including tritium.”1 We will keep you updated on this unfortunate […]
[…]this mechanism.” – Wilfred, Nwga RELATED STORY: Cannabis compound CBD could be used as antibiotic, researchers say Scientists have found success in treating cancer with cannabis compounds in the past. 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 […]

[…]increased the animal’s risk for skin cancer. And yet another study implied it may help spread antibiotic resistance. 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 […]
[…]like vancomycin or daptomycin, we found cannabidiol has a very low propensity to induce resistance, which hopefully means it would be safe to use without causing resistance to rapidly appear.”1 RELATED STORY: 7 benefits and uses of CBD Oil (plus side effects) CBD was effective against every Gram-positive bacteria that was tested. However, according to the American College of Healthcare Sciences, the study revealed it would not work against Gram-negative bacteria because even though it has a thin cell membrane, it is not easy to penetrate, making it more difficult for antibiotic treatment. Dr. Andrew Edwards, a non-clinical Lecturer in […]

[…]the European Union extended a license to use glyphosate for another five years despite resistance from some member states. Hopefully, after that, it will be phased out or banned. RELATED STORY: French court cancels Monsanto weedkiller permit on safety grounds Glyphosate is a toxic ingredient in the popular weedkiller called Roundup. As we’ve shared with you numerous times, glyphosate is present at all levels of the food chain: in water, plants, animals, and even in humans. Every single study that has measured human contamination with glyphosate has found it! It is EVERYWHERE. It is killing off our insect population, and it […]

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 […]
[…]most toxic chemical ever approved for commercial use. 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.

So how are these grains ending up with glyphosate […]
[…]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 […]
