When presented with evidence that fluoride is linked to the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and lower IQs, the Environmental Protection Agency essentially said, “We don’t care.” This occurred when the agency responded to a petition filed by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), Food & Water Watch, and others, asking the agency to… Continue reading EPA Ignores Fluoride Warnings

If that news isn’t stark enough for the future of humankind, these chemicals are also making us dumber.

EPA: Carcinogens Are OK with Us
Recently unsealed court documents show that the EPA is more focused on protecting big business than on protecting Americans from cancer. A group of citizens found this out the hard way when their lawsuit (the People vs. Monsanto, claiming that glyphosate caused their non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) was undermined by officials at the Environmental Protection Agency.

Myth, Busted: We Do NOT Need Pesticides to Feed the World
It’s a bad PR day for the chemical poison industry. A new United Nations report calls out the Dows and Monsantos of the world, saying they have sold the world on the lie that pesticides are needed to feed the world’s seven billion people.

What the Government Has Done to Physicians
Federal bureaucracy is turning your physician into roboticized “healthcare providers.” Do you want your doctor to be your doctor because she or he really wants to help you and other people, or because “it’s a job”? Since the start of “third-party medicine”—otherwise known as “healthcare insurance”—the physician-patient relationship has been destroyed, at first slowly, and… Continue reading What the Government Has Done to Physicians
When is a GMO not a GMO?
More parlor tricks are ahead for your salad. Researchers are working on a more flavorful tomato through gene-isolating technology. This is not the introduction of genes from another species, as was the case with the GMO Flavr-Savr tomato, but neither is it traditional plant breeding. If you are old enough, you will recall that tomatoes… Continue reading When is a GMO not a GMO?

Stop Osteoporosis!
How strontium can help you rebuild your bones. Last December, a seventy-seven year old woman (we’ll call her Sarah, although that’s not her real name) told me that she’d been advised that her recent bone scan was 100% normal. In 2010, she’d been told she was “into osteoporosis.” She’d been advised to use a patent… Continue reading Stop Osteoporosis!
It’s (Literally) in the Book: Natural Treatments for Peyronie’s Disease, Scleroderma
PABA (vitamin B10) can help treat Peyronie’s disease and scleroderma. Side effects are very rare and disappear when PABA treatment is decreased or discontinued. So far, no researchers have discovered the cause of either Peyronie’s disease or scleroderma. Peyronie’s disease (scar tissue forming in the penis which can progress to causing curvature, sometimes severe)… Continue reading It’s (Literally) in the Book: Natural Treatments for Peyronie’s Disease, Scleroderma
