Are these toxic secrets lurking in every meal you eat? August 9, 2018
Dear Reader, When you make up your shopping list, your weekly staples may include eggs, milk, cheese, tomatoes, OJ, and TP… but what about BPA, PFCs, FD&C Yellow 5, and Blue 1? I’ll wager that you don’t write down those last ones I mentioned — yet the chances are pretty good that you’ll take one […]
Psoriasis? Do this 3 times a day… and watch your skin clear up! August 8, 2018
Dear Reader, If you spliced all of the current commercials for psoriasis drugs together, you’d have a full-length feature film! To see what this advertising is really selling, however, turn off the sound and just watch.

Cellphones now linked to memory problems in teens August 6, 2018
I think cellphone companies are secretly trying to tell us something. After all, you rarely, if ever, see someone in one of their TV pitches using these devices as an actual phone! They show people taking selfies, getting directions, watching movies and ball games, and listening to music… but these wireless companies just don’t appear […]
Are you one of 110 million at risk for toxic tap water? July 25, 2018
The feds are hard at work doing what it is they do best: writing long-winded reports and patting each other on the back about a job well done. Only, the problem is still staring us right in the face – or in this case, coming out of the tap. A just-released government study has revealed […]
Asbestos in baby powder? A jury says yes July 23, 2018
Years after the first baby powder cancer cases have come before a jury, it’s still hard to wrap your head around the fact that something so seemingly benign could be so deadly. Why, moms have been sprinkling it on babies’ bottoms since 1894! But along the way, it’s also become apparent that this white powder […]
How did a rocket-fuel chemical end up in BP meds? July 20, 2018
You’ve heard of cars being recalled… even toys and toasters… and this year, lots of romaine lettuce. But drugs? It actually happens all the time — for reasons such as wrong dosages or a mix-up of ingredients. Only… we seldom learn about it when it does. In the latest such recall, however, it’s because a […]
Dairy fat again shown to be your heart’s best friend July 19, 2018
Saturated fat has long been the demon of the dairy world. By now, even the mere mention of it can make visions of clogged arteries and deadly heart disease dance in your head! For decades, mainstream experts have been shaking their fingers at us and warning of the risk that comes with butter, whole milk, […]
What’s behind this scary new ‘hidden epidemic’ of kidney disease? July 18, 2018
It’s being called a “hidden epidemic,” a condition said to be even more prevalent than diabetes and cancer: kidney disease. A new analysis by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) has discovered that among potentially deadly ailments, kidney disease has now pulled ahead of the pack. The ISN is calling for doctors and scientists to […]
This Big-Food fib is the worst one of all! July 17, 2018
It’s the tried-and-true way to make an adult rat fat: Give it a shot of monosodium glutamate when it’s a baby! This isn’t a brand-new discovery, either. It’s how scientists “create” rats to fit experiments they want to conduct – say for an obesity drug or something to do with diabetes. This is common knowledge in […]
Hidden EPA report: We’re being embalmed alive! July 16, 2018
I think it’s time the EPA had a name change. How about the IPA – the Industry Protection Agency? Because there’s a bombshell report detailing the cancer danger from formaldehyde – and since that would likely put any industry or manufacturer that uses the chemical in a pot of regulatory hot water, it’s currently being […]
The shocking risk factor for developing MS July 12, 2018
Your nose is pretty good at alerting you to danger. If you woke up to the smell of smoke, you’d quickly know to call the fire department. Same goes for the “rotten egg” smell added to natural gas that’s a dead giveaway for a leak. But lots of times, we invite some pretty nasty substances […]
How did treating constipation become so risky? July 9, 2018
What would be worth risking labored breathing, fainting, abdominal pain, severe diarrhea (so bad it can lead to life-threatening dehydration), a distended belly, and nausea? A treatment for cancer, perhaps? Or maybe one for a potentially deadly infection, heart attack, or stroke? But constipation? A pair of frequently prescribed drugs for being “backed-up” commonly cause […]
