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

Animal Poop in Your Water?
Don’t we have a right to at least some information? A recent court case offers mixed results for transparency on factory farms. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American Farm Bureau Federation, and the National Pork Producers Council have been locked in litigation for years over the release, under the Freedom of Information Act, of… Continue reading Animal Poop in Your Water?
An Aspirin a Day…Doubles Heart Attack Risk?
Those taking aspirin every day to thin blood and reduce stroke risk, take heed. Researchers have found that, compared to those taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation (irregular and fast beating of the heart that can lead to stroke), patients taking aspirin were 1.9 times more likely to suffer a heart attack. The same paper found… Continue reading An Aspirin a Day…Doubles Heart Attack Risk?
Federal Trade Commission Attacks the Environment
No, this is not yet another story about the Trump administration’s war on the environment. Action Alert! This tragic story proves how totally confused the debate over environmental regulation really is. This powerful agency addresses a huge environmental problem by illegally blocking progress on it. This happened under the Obama administration—now a court backs it… Continue reading Federal Trade Commission Attacks the Environment
Cancer Control Within Reach? Only If It’s Profitable!
Promising studies are lacking follow-up and funding. The problem? The solutions are too cheap! One such potential treatment is an experimental, synthetic cancer drug—DCA (dichloroacetate)—which has, in the early stages of clinical trials, demonstrated effectiveness at fighting cancer. The drug seems to exhibit antitumor effects against several forms of cancer, including brain, cervical, prostate, breast,… Continue reading Cancer Control Within Reach? Only If It’s Profitable!
Losing Your Sense of Smell? It May Be a Predictor of…Death
Need another reason to avoid prescription drugs? Researchers in Sweden followed 1,744 Swedes between the ages of 40 and 90 years old for ten years and found that their performance on a “smell test” was linked to their chance of death, adding to a growing body of literature which suggests that the olfactory sense provides… Continue reading Losing Your Sense of Smell? It May Be a Predictor of…Death
Killer: Cancer or Chemo?
This is the choice that far too many patients face with our conventional medical system. FDA-approved cancer treatments like chemotherapy are poisoning patients. A recent analysis found that cancer drugs are themselves killing up to 50% of patients within thirty days, indicating that chemotherapy was the cause of death, not the cancer. Of course, chemotherapy… Continue reading Killer: Cancer or Chemo?
Cancer, C, and Hope
This vitamin attacks the root of cancers. Exciting new research found that vitamin C is ten times more effective at targeting and disrupting cancer stem cells than a pharmaceutical cancer drug. Vitamin C is cheap, safe, and natural—but it won’t make money for drug companies, so don’t expect to hear anything about it from the… Continue reading Cancer, C, and Hope
C: Will Cronyism Kill a Natural Treatment for Sepsis?
New evidence on this crucial vitamin gives hope to patients with sepsis—but it won’t make money for drug companies. Sepsis—the invasion of the body by pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins—kills more people in hospitals than any other disease. Of the million people that get sepsis every year, it kills 300,000, in part because doctors haven’t… Continue reading C: Will Cronyism Kill a Natural Treatment for Sepsis?
Candy Consumption = Weight Loss—Say Candymakers
Remember the Golden Rule? Whoever has the gold makes the rules! The same can hold true for a “scientific study.” Whoever foots the bill dictates the results! This sad reality was seen recently when the National Confectioner’s Association funded a “scientific” paper which found that kids who eat candy tend to weigh less than those… Continue reading Candy Consumption = Weight Loss—Say Candymakers
