I guess we just tilt our nose up in the air, and mutter under our breath with our teeth shifted forward “Parasites are only a problem in third-world countries.”

You sure about that Doc? How would you know? In the US of A, parasitology -according to a 2001 study I found on PubMed- is not a required course in OVER HALF of the 41 US medical schools they looked at. On top of that over a third of these schools don’t even offer the class. And that’s the thing, it’s just a class, usually about 12 hours, compared to all the fields that germs, bacteria, and viruses encompass. Below is a hierarchy, only the green words deal with parasitology at all. All the remaining are inextricably intertwined with viruses germs and bacteria.

Interestingly, if we refer to the Merck Manual, a very well known medical reference book, it says repeatedly that “viruses are the of smallest parasites”. Watch this video real quick.

“Parasitology disappeared from the Vanderbilt catalogue course listings… Our class took the next to last course in parasitology offered at the school. In a few years parasitology would cease to be a course in most medical schools in the United States. It would no longer be necessary. Parasitic diseases—now very rare in the United States—were still present, though in diminishing numbers, in the 1950s, especially in the rural South. The disappearance of parasitic diseases is a story of the extraordinary power of the scientific method in action, coupled with the extreme power of public education. Above all, it is a story of prevention over cure.” source: PMC

Here’s a paragraph from ChatGPT explaining how parasitology slowly faded away, while virology, bacteriology, and similar fields filled the void. It’s equivalent to using baking soda instead of baking powder to bake a cake; maybe it was just a big mistake, or perhaps the government steered us in the wrong direction on purpose, who knows.

But the US Government incentives both the medical schools and pharmaceutical companies with grants, subsidies, and tax breaks to study what they want them to study. If somebody up top says it’s viruses and not parasites, if you want to keep your career you’re not going to disagree.

Another thing to consider is patents, because patents give the pharmaceutical companies the ability to research, develop and market their drugs at a much higher cost. Did you know dtca (direct to consumer advertising) is only legal in the United States and New Zealand? There are no drug commercials anywhere everywhere else, must be nice. Did you know that virtually everybody in Europe deworms themselves at least a few times a year?

Now here is the big secret, which is more obvious for some than others, these pharmaceutical companies are for-profit companies, they are not nonprofit organizations, they are interested in making money. It’s very difficult for them to make money if everyone is healthy.

As it turns out, there are many parasitic drugs, of which their patent has expired, in some cases decades ago. These drugs are in a class of their own, often very simple molecules that only specifically target parasites, and do very little harm to your body. In fact, these drugs are somewhat anomalous, can you think of any drug out there that, when you take it, not only is it incredibly effective, but nearly all of the side effects are positive?? (Think about this for while)

Okay are you back from thinking? What positive side effects? I’m talking about my neck not hurting anymore after years of pain, cleared up pimples on my forehead, better sleep, improved mood, weight loss, and I’m sure other things, but these are the positive side effects that I am experiencing after taking fenbendazole, which is the veterinary version of mebendazole, an FDA approved drug that is designed to do one thing, kill parasites in your body.

These drugs don’t really stay in your system long, they are designed to get stuff out of your system, and they do. You should see some of the videos out there of 18 inch tapeworms being pulled out of someone’s butt.

Would you like to be less horny in our world of seduction, not have your mind think about sex every seven point three seconds? Have no cravings for sugar? No hankering for alcohol either? It’s almost like the government doesn’t want have access to these salubrious methods of existing.

You know, when I was like 15 they put me on Accutane for acne which was pretty crazy because not only did it not work, it dried me up like a son-ofa-bitch. They call this dry skin ‘xerosis’ and everyone got it. It caused birth defects, it made children KILL THEMSELVES, there were lawsuits, and it was finally banned in 2009, only later to be brought back under different names. You can’t make this shit up. I had to look it up, I couldn’t believe they still have it on the market. They know the side effects are so bad they mandate this for anyone taking it. It’s insane.

The drug (really just a molecule) that I’m taking cured decades of acne in 9 days. Do you know how this makes me feel?

The system is completely broken. They have drugs out there that have warnings, literally “may cause suicidal thoughts, seizures, blood clots, bleeding”, and people take them daily.

Anyway… I’ve only had three epiphanies in my life, and this is one of them, and somehow it came last, probably one of the most important things to understand is how to remain healthy.

Parasites are the cause of nearly all disease from Asthma to Allergies, to Lupus, MS, Alzheimer’s, Cardiovascular Heart Disease and Cancer. I could keep going. Dementia, Lou Gehrig’s disease… on and on you name it.

This is why after your start deworming yourself, there are so many positive side effects, because the helminths and protozoa that are using your body as a host are physically draining you and causing you to be sick, they are what keep you up at night, and they are the mechanism behind nearly all disease, they’re that nasty cold sore that appears the night before your cousin’s wedding.

So how do I know that parasites cause disease not the germs or viruses? Because that’s what all of the evidence suggests. There are thousands of case studies out there of people that have cure themselves of different ailments, you will even find people in total remission of stage four pancreatic cancer. On top of that, all one has to do is scroll through the national library of medicine and they will find a plethora of studies that suggest these anti-parasitic drugs cause programmed cell death and block the energy pathways of these nasty microscopic critters.

Fenbendazole Albendazole and Mebendazole Ivermectin

Case studies and testimonies

Drugs are not the only effective remedy. There are powerful herbs like wormwood, black walnut, clove and others that are anti-parasitic. The way I understand it is the wormwood kills the mother worms, the black walnut kills the developmental stages in the larvae, and the cloves help kill and clean up the eggs.

Drug Prices:

I used ChatGPT to gather some info about parasite drug prices. I wondered if drugs in other just as expensive, and as it turns out….. not really, not even close.

These next images show the price per single pill, I tried to be as fair as possible, listing different common conditions, to get a rough estimate on how much more expensive certain classes of drugs are.

On this next graph, I included conditions that are not really comparable to something as common as worms, we are talking about multiple melanoma, hepatitis C, leukemia… I wouldn’t compare worms to conditions like this, but I did to gain a better per perspective on the prices. The parasite pill is still among the most expensive.

So what can you conclude if you take a pill to make your butthole stop itching, but in the process you find that the pill has elevated your mood, you’re getting much better sleep, you feel less depressed, your acne is gone and it doesn’t seem to come back, your neck pain has lessened????

It means it’s parasites that are causing all these problems in the first place. All the pill does is kill the parasites. It’s all very simple.

Do your own research. Use Yandex.com instead of Google. It works a lot better. You’ll come to the same conclusion I have, because that’s where all the evidence points and it all makes perfect sense.

This is the document that woke me up to this topic.

I have counted about a half million people on Facebook groups alone, discussing these anti-parasitic drugs for cancer and other things.

The FB group called “Ivermectin and Fenbendazole Protocols Global Group” has 222,000 members. This isn’t going away. With social media these days people talk too much. Secrets cannot be hidden forever.

Add the fact that way less people trust their government these days after what happened with Covid. We’re just not taking it any more. We want the truth.

The truth is most health problems are caused by two things

Parasites and Heavy Metals

There are safe ways to remove these heavy metals as well, which is absolutely key.

The heavy metals are a bed, a breeding ground for these parasites who just love them so much.

Then of course you need to think about binders. A binder is something like human grade carbon charcoal, or zeolites, which bind to the dead parasites and heavy metals, and allow your body to safely discard them through your stool.

This stuff takes and deserves careful attention. You must unlearn what you have learned and view the whole thing through this lens to gain a better perspective with reality. Ask if you are being honest with yourself.

1. Fever Is Not the Enemy, but Tylenol Might Be

When your child develops a fever, it’s a sign that their immune system is actively fighting off an infection. Administering Tylenol to lower a fever can interfere with this process.

Research indicates that fever plays a vital role in enhancing the body’s immune response. For instance, a study published in Pediatric Annals emphasizes that fever is an essential component of a functioning immune system. They stress that parents should be educated to reject “fever-phobia” and understand that medications are for the purpose of comfort, not to “fight” the fever. The article also clearly states that fever is not the enemy and comes with benefits.

Furthermore, in his book How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, pediatrician Dr. Robert Mendelsohn states, “If your child contracts an infection, the fever that accompanies it is a blessing, not a curse. It occurs because of the spontaneous release of pyrogens that cause the body temperature to rise. This is a natural defense mechanism that our bodies employ to fight disease. The presence of fever tells you that the repair mechanisms of the body have gone into high gear (page 80).”

In this article from Research and Reviews in Pediatrics, they stress that fever is simply a symptom, not the problem. They further explain that, with a few rare exceptions like hyperthermia, fever is not harmful. They mention the protective role it plays in our bodies by firing up the immune system. I also found it interesting that they mention 106 degrees as the temperature that should cause concern, which happens to be the same number mentioned in Dr. Mendhelson’s book above.

By suppressing a fever with Tylenol, you might be hindering your child’s body’s ability to combat the infection effectively. Instead of masking the fever, I always choose to focus on keeping my child comfortable and monitor his/her symptoms closely. How, you ask? Homeopathy is a great choice! For example, if sore throats accompany the fever, I might give the homeopathic remedy Mer Sol. If muscle aches are the chief complaint associated with the fever, I might offer the homeopathic remedy Eupatorium Perf. In this way, I’m not simply using a fever reducer to bring down the temperature. Instead, I’m using homeopathy to encourage the body to address the root cause of the issue.

2. Tylenol Depletes Glutathione

Glutathione is an important antioxidant in the body (source). It helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids. Glutathione is also important for detoxification. It helps to neutralize and eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and drugs from the body through the liver. It also supports immune function and helps regulate inflammation. Bottom line: Glutathione is very important! But studies show (1, 2, 3) that Tylenol depletes glutathione, therefore negatively impacting our overall health.

It is important to note that these studies found that glutathione depletion happens no matter how much Tylenol is taken. Because the body absorbs the Tylenol into the small intestine then metabolizes it in the liver, even the recommended dose of acetaminophen must be processed using glutathione reserves. This is why people who have had liver transplantation are often advised to use extreme caution with Tylenol or avoid it completely.

3. Tylenol is Associated with Asthma, Eczema, and Allergic Conditions

Several studies have found a dose-dependent association between acetaminophen use and an increased risk of developing asthma, eczema, and other allergic conditions. For instance, a study involving over 18,000 participants in Poland reported that frequent use of acetaminophen was linked to a higher prevalence of asthma symptoms, allergic rhinitis, and atopic eczema across all age groups.

Similarly, research in Spain indicated that adolescents who used acetaminophen in the past month had a significantly higher risk of developing atopic eczema, especially when combined with other allergic conditions like asthma or rhinitis.

A comprehensive review and meta-analysis of 13 cross-sectional studies, 4 cohort studies, and 2 case-control studies involving over 425,000 participants found that acetaminophen use was associated with an increased risk of asthma and wheezing in both children and adults. Notably, the risk was higher in children who used acetaminophen in the year prior to asthma diagnosis and within the first year of life. Additionally, prenatal use of acetaminophen was linked to an increased risk of asthma and wheezing in children.

4. Tylenol is Associated with Neurodevelopment Issues

Recent studies have found associations between Tylenol and neurodevelopment issues.

A meta-analysis involving over 73,000 mother-child pairs found that prenatal acetaminophen exposure was associated with a 19% increased likelihood of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) symptoms and a 21% increase in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in older children aged 4–12. These associations were slightly stronger in boys.

A study from the Illinois Kids Development Study reported that acetaminophen use during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, was linked to speech delays and smaller vocabularies in children at age 3, with boys being particularly affected.

Yet pregnant women are still told Tylenol is the safest option. It is important to note that the participants in these studies took “safe dosages”, not overdoses.

5. Accidental Tylenol Overdose Can Be Deadly

It may not seem like a real threat, but taking an accidental overdose of Tylenol happens more than you think. Parents may “stack” over-the-counter medication without realizing that these medications already contain Tylenol, thus giving too much acetaminophen and causing unintentional overdoses. For example, NyQuil, Robitussin, and other cold medications all contain acetaminophen. If parents give multiple doses of these medicines throughout the day plus the recommended dosage of Tylenol, it could be problematic.

A published journal article title “Estimates of Acetaminophen (Paracetomal)-Associated Overdoses in the United States” points out the high frequency of annual overdoes. It states, “Analysis of national databases show that acetaminophen-associated overdoses account for about 56,000 emergency room visits and 26,000 hospitalizations yearly. Analysis of national mortality files shows 458 deaths occur each year from acetaminophen-associated overdoses.”

Looking at the American Association of Poison Control Center’s reports, you’ll get a better understanding of acetaminophen toxicity. In the 2022 report, acetaminophen poisoning was responsible for 46,337 single-substance exposure calls. In fact, acetaminophen is usually in the top 5 most common poisonings.

Tylenol is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S. (source) and the 2nd leading cause for needing a liver transplant in the U.S.

Final Thoughts on Tylenol

Tylenol is one of the most common medications, and you can find it in most any grocery store, dollar store, or drug store. Doctors say it is generally considered safe. However, a closer look at some research leaves us asking, are these doctors looking at the available information or just repeating a well-versed paradigm? Does it actually make our kids better, stronger, healthier? Or is it doing harm when when we are trying to help?

While there may be rare cases where the benefits of Tylenol outweigh the risks and downsides, should it the first thing we reach for in our medicine cabinets? Not at my house. In fact, we haven’t had a bottle of Tylenol in our home for a long time…years and years to be exact. Why? Because it doesn’t make sense to let it sit on the shelf and expire for the few-and-far-between times we MIGHT need it. In those handful of times, since it is an over-the-counter medicine, my family could grab some quickly.

I encourage you to carefully consider your Tylenol use, just like you consider your prescription drugs. And whenever you buy conventional cold medicines or pain medications for your family, be very aware of the amount of acetaminophen used in the drug. Better yet, equip yourself with other, safer options so that you can take care of your family without drugs when the need arises. Stay diligent, friends!

For decades, colonoscopies have been marketed as the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening. Millions undergo the procedure each year, convinced it’s the safest and most effective option. But what if the risks are higher than advertised—and what if safer, non-invasive alternatives are being ignored in favor of profit?

In this article, we’ll dive into the history of the colonoscopy, examine the risks and complications, expose how the medical industry profits from overuse, and offer non-invasive alternatives that may be a better choice for many people.

The History of Colonoscopy: A Modern Invention with Outdated Assumptions

The colonoscopy was introduced in the late 1960s, with the first flexible fiber-optic models emerging in the early 1970s. It was a technological leap in gastrointestinal diagnostics, offering real-time imaging of the colon. By the 1990s, colonoscopy became widely adopted for colorectal cancer screening in adults over 50.

However, its acceptance wasn’t based on long-term outcomes, but rather on the ability to visualize and remove polyps. Over time, colonoscopy became less about necessity and more about routine—despite mixed evidence about its impact on mortality reduction. A 2022 European study (NordICC trial) shocked the medical community by suggesting colonoscopies may reduce the risk of death far less than previously believed—only around 18% rather than the often-quoted 68–70%.

The Hidden Risks of Colonoscopy

Despite being labeled as routine, colonoscopy carries real risks—some of which are rarely discussed:

• Perforation of the colon (1 in 1,000 procedures)

• Internal bleeding, especially after polyp removal

• Adverse reactions to sedation

• Infection risk from improperly sterilized equipment

• Post-colonoscopy syndrome: bloating, cramping, fatigue

• False positives that lead to unnecessary surgery or stress

In older adults or people with chronic illness, these risks increase. Furthermore, the prep process—aggressive laxatives and fasting—can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and gut microbiome disruption.

Colonoscopies and Big Medicine: A Billion-Dollar Industry

The colonoscopy isn’t just a medical procedure—it’s a profit engine. In the U.S. alone, the colonoscopy market generates over $12 billion annually. Hospitals and private practices charge $2,000–$5,000 per procedure, with many doctors recommending routine screenings every 10 years, even for low-risk patients.

Many health systems offer bonuses or performance incentives tied to screening quotas. Insurance companies often fully cover colonoscopies, encouraging overuse. This creates a system where financial gain can outweigh patient-centered decision-making.

There’s little incentive to educate patients about non-invasive screening methods, or about whether they even need a colonoscopy based on their health history.

Non-Invasive Alternatives to Colonoscopy

Thankfully, several non-invasive options exist that are safer, more affordable, and less stressful:

1. FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test)

A simple at-home stool test that detects hidden blood in the stool, a possible sign of cancer or large polyps.

• Cost: ~$20–$40

• Frequency: Annually

• Effectiveness: Good for detecting early-stage cancer

2. Cologuard

A DNA-based stool test that detects altered DNA and blood in the stool, potentially linked to colorectal cancer.

• Cost: ~$500

• Frequency: Every 3 years

• Effectiveness: ~92% sensitivity for detecting cancer

3. CT Colonography (Virtual Colonoscopy)

A CT scan that generates 3D images of the colon. No sedation required.

• Cost: ~$500–$1,500

• Frequency: Every 5 years

• Risks: Radiation exposure, may require follow-up colonoscopy if abnormality is found

Do You Really Need a Colonoscopy?

Most people are told to get a colonoscopy at age 45 or 50, but individual risk varies widely based on genetics, diet, lifestyle, and symptoms. For low-risk individuals with no family history or symptoms, a combination of FIT and lifestyle-based prevention may be sufficient.

Important considerations before undergoing colonoscopy:

• Do you have any symptoms (e.g., blood in stool, unexplained weight loss)?

• Do you have a family history of colorectal cancer?

• Are there less invasive tests that could give adequate information?

• Have you discussed alternatives with a non-biased provider?

Prevention Over Detection: The Lifestyle Factor

Colorectal cancer is often preventable with lifestyle intervention, but that doesn’t make money. Reducing processed food, seed oils, alcohol, and sugar, while increasing fiber, micronutrients, and whole foods can make a dramatic impact. Emerging research also links gut microbiome health to colon cancer risk.

Ironically, colonoscopy prep often disrupts gut bacteria, while a clean diet supports long-term colon health without the scope.

The Hidden Dangers of Ozempic: Why the Carnivore Diet Might Be the Better Choice

Discover the truth behind Ozempic, its side effects, Big Pharma’s profits, and why the carnivore diet could be a safer, more effective solution for weight loss.

Ozempic’s Popularity Surge

Ozempic has taken the health and weight loss world by storm. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, it’s now being widely used off-label as a weight loss drug. But beneath the media buzz lies a darker story—one involving dangerous side effects, billion-dollar profits, and a system that profits more from sickness than health.

What Is Ozempic? A Brief History

Approved by the FDA in 2017, Ozempic (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist designed to regulate blood sugar in type 2 diabetes patients. But once it was discovered that users lost weight while on the drug, the pharmaceutical industry saw a golden opportunity.

Enter Wegovy, a higher-dose semaglutide product marketed specifically for weight loss. In just a few years, these drugs transformed Novo Nordisk into one of the most profitable pharmaceutical companies in the world.

The Real Dangers of Ozempic

While some see Ozempic as a miracle fix, its side effects can be severe. These include:

• Chronic nausea and vomiting

• Muscle loss and fatigue

• Gallbladder disease and pancreatitis

• Depression and suicidal thoughts

• Potential thyroid tumors

Even worse, studies show that weight gain often returns once the drug is stopped. It doesn’t treat the root of the problem—it masks it. Meanwhile, Big Pharma profits off long-term prescriptions and dependency.

Ozempic’s Billion-Dollar Business Model

Ozempic and Wegovy generated over $30 billion in revenue by 2024. These are not curative drugs. They are designed to be taken indefinitely—a model that serves profits, not patients.

The pharmaceutical industry has no incentive to promote food-based healing or sustainable lifestyle changes. Why would it, when it profits so heavily from managing symptoms?

An Alternative That Works: The Carnivore Diet

The carnivore diet offers a radically different path. By eliminating processed foods, sugar, and inflammatory seed oils, and focusing on nutrient-dense animal products, people are reversing insulin resistance, losing weight, and regaining their energy—naturally.

Benefits include:

• Stable blood sugar and insulin levels

• Increased satiety and reduced cravings

• Reduced inflammation and joint pain

• Mental clarity and stable moods

• Weight loss without muscle wasting

This approach doesn’t require injections, prescriptions, or endless visits to the doctor. It’s real food. Real healing.

Carnivore vs. Ozempic: A Comparison Table

Why Aren’t Doctors Recommending Carnivore?

Most medical professionals receive minimal training in nutrition, and what they do learn often supports outdated guidelines. The influence of pharmaceutical companies in medical education and practice is deep and persistent. It’s no wonder lifestyle interventions like the carnivore diet are rarely offered as an option.

But a growing number of doctors, athletes, and health professionals are turning to meat-based diets—and reporting remarkable transformations.

Take Back Your Health

Ozempic may offer a quick fix, but it’s not a long-term solution—and it comes with serious risks. If you’re tired of putting your health in the hands of billion-dollar drug companies, it may be time to look at food as medicine. The carnivore diet is a powerful, natural, and sustainable alternative for those ready to take control.

• Many medication studies published in leading journals have been found to be sponsored by drug manufacturers and include deceptive statistical reporting and wording.

• The flu vaccine is a perfect example of medical manipulation, with research concluding the effectiveness of the shots to be as low as one percent. In addition, the “gold standard” for scientific reviews has repeatedly found that there is little to no evidence backing flu vaccines as an effective flu prevention strategy. Despite this, they are still pushed by mainstream health officials.

• The reason why much of the population believes in mainstream medicine can be traced back to the PR campaigns of Edward Bernays, the so-called father of spin. Bernays focused on ‘conditioning’ consumers into believing many mainstream medical fallacies.

Research has revealed just how misleading and questionable the results of medication studies cited in top medical journals actually are -- adding to an already sizeable mountain of data on mainstream medical manipulation.

Pharmaceutical and vaccine makers are continually found to be sponsoring the very institution performing the study on the effectiveness of their product.

Such is the case with a inquiry that examined the trustworthiness of top drug trials.

Investigators from UCLA and Harvard in 2011, analyzed the randomized drug trials from six prestigious journals, reaching a conclusion that brings into question the overall credibility of many top medication studies and those who perform them.

The investigative team found that many of these pharmaceutical studies were sponsored by the drug manufacturers; sponsors who the report states “may promote the use of outcomes that are most likely to indicate favorable results for their products.”

In fact many of these studies have been found to utilize different statistical techniques in order to establish the supposed safety of many medications that may actually be harmful to you.

The investigation found that data presented in the following misleading manner:

“It’s one thing to say a medication lowers your risk of heart attacks from two-in-a-million to one-in-a-million, and something completely different to say a medication lowers your risk of heart attacks by 50 percent. Both ways of presenting the data are technically correct, but the second way, using relative numbers, could be misleading.”

It is important to remember that the investigation analyzed not one, but six prominent medical journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association, The Lancet, the Annals of Internal Medicine, the British Medical Journal and the Archives of Internal Medicine. All of these journals were found to contain misleading data.

In addition to using imprecise numbers, many study authors have also been found to use deceptive outcome measures such as:

• Surrogate outcomes: which is used to measure a heart medication’s ability to lower blood pressure. This form of outcome measurement is not a good indicator of the medication’s impact on more important clinical outcomes such as heart attacks.

• Composite outcomes: a statistic that lumps together individual outcomes of unequal importance, like hospitalizations and death, into a single category. This makes it extremely difficult to ascertain the medication’s true effects.

• Disease-specific mortality: a measurement that measures death from a specific cause. This can be especially misleading because even if a given medication reduces your chances of death from one disease, it may also increase your risk of death from another cause. The increased chance of death may even be significantly greater.

Flu Shot Ineffectiveness Exposes Medical Manipulation

Unfortunately, this is far from the first documented incident of study results being manipulated by outside financial interests. “Checkbook science,” as it is called, is rampant throughout the biomedical research and publishing industries. Basically, drug and chemical companies write the checks and the research institutions, whether private or public, manufacture the science needed to promote their financier’s products.

In fact, conflicts of interest like these are so widespread that, 63 peer-reviewed articles discuss drug industry bias, according to PubMed.

With pharmaceutical drugs continually being linked to deadly diseases despite FDA approval and the recommendation of government health officials - it is quite easy to see past the pharma bias that has corrupted the scientific process. In fact, if you have been following the flu vaccine, which is now being pushed harder than ever by the CDC and other mainstream health organizations, then you already know this.

The shocking lack of evidence supporting the seasonal flu vaccine, which now also contains the dangerous swine-origin H1N1 vaccine, reveals how media manipulation and drug bias can lead to incorrect public perception over the effects of the flu shot.

Why are “Gold Standard” Reviews Ignored?

It is a well-kept secret of the medical establishment -- particularly the CDC – that the Cochrane Database Review, which is the gold standard within the evidence-based medical model for assessing the effectiveness of common medical interventions, does not lend clear scientific support to the heavily toted concept that flu vaccines are safe and effective.

To the contrary, the Cochrane Database Review reveals that there is a stunning lack of evidence to support the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine in healthy adults, the elderly, and healthcare workers who care for the elderly. Disturbingly, most of these aforementioned groups compromise the demographic to which the CDC aggressively recommends the seasonal flu shot.

Even more concerning is the fact that the flu vaccine may be most detrimental to the health of your children. According to the Cochrane Database Review, only one unbiased safety study on inactivated flu vaccines has ever been performed in children under two -- the very population that is most susceptible to adverse reactions.

And this study did not prove with any certainty that they are safe.

Despite the lack of evidence showing the safety of the vaccine on this age group, the current guidelines in United States and Canada recommend the vaccination of healthy children from as young as six months old. As if incessant government coercion were not enough, the PBS Kids cartoon series -- Sid the Science Kid -- is being used as propaganda to circumvent parental authority and directly brainwash kids into getting the flu vaccine.

What is perhaps most disturbing of all is that receiving the H1N1-loaded seasonal flu shot can actually increase your risk of developing H1N1 flu. The finding surfaced after the global pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in 2009, proving the ineffectiveness of the flu vaccine at preventing the flu. Researchers found that after receiving the seasonal flu vaccine, Canadian participants actually had an increased risk of developing H1N1. As it turns out, vaccines may actually decrease your resistance to viral infection through suppressing and/or imbalancing your immune system.

Ineffective, Dangerous, Yet Still Pushed by Health Officials

Not only is there a shocking lack of evidence supporting the use of the flu vaccine, but a number of studies have actually confirmed the danger and ineffectiveness of the shots.

One major study determined that the best the flu vaccine could do during a season where, in the rare case, the vaccine actually matched the wild-type strains in circulation, was to reduce the risk of influenza infection by a paltry one percent relative to unvaccinated controls. This means that despite receiving the shot – riddled, as it is, with side effects such as the debilitating and potentially deadly nerve disease Guillain-Barre Syndrome -- there is still an overwhelming likelihood that you will not be protected from the flu as a result of receiving the vaccine.

The reason for this has to do with how flu strains work. Along with the faulty science behind the creation of the vaccine, the act of determining which flu strains will affect your area is pretty much a guessing game. Mainstream medical officials urge you to receive the shot, but health officials are fully aware that it is truly impossible to know for sure which strain to vaccinate against.

With such a wide selection of strains (hundreds, if not thousands), it is very rare for officials to actually pick the correct strains – the best case scenario is that an appropriate match will occur 10 percent of the time, according to the study.

The findings of the study do not stop there. The researchers also highlighted other findings about the flu vaccine, which topple the mainstream concept of their safety and effectiveness:

• “Vaccination had…no effect on hospital admissions or complication rates.”

• “Vaccine use did not affect the number of people hospitalized or working days lost.”

• “The analysis showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions…”

• “There is no evidence that [influenza vaccines] affect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission.” — Meaning vaccines do not affect transmission of disease, what they are designed for.

• “In average conditions (partially matching vaccine) 100 people need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms.”

As you can see, flu shots are virtually ineffective, and come with a heavy price.

Even government officials have admitted the link between flu shots and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. A government agency known as The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a warning over the connection following the phony swine flu pandemic. The news came after mainstream media reported on the fact that even 50 percent of doctors were refusing the H1N1 vaccine over health concerns.

With all of the negative evidence coming out, how can the public still believe that the flu shot is still a viable option?

How Americans Have Been Led to Believe in Medical Lies

If you live in the United States, then you undoubtedly have been exposed to the mass conditioning. With the average American being accosted with thousands of advertisements each day, whether blatant or not, many pieces of “conventional wisdom” are actually contrived and implanted into the society. One method of doing so is through driving public opinion -- the idea that if most people believe it, then it must be true.

In America, conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived: somebody paid for it. Examples include:

• Pharmaceuticals restore health

• Vaccination brings immunity

• The cure for cancer is just around the corner

• When a child is sick, he needs immediate antibiotics

• When a child has a fever he needs Tylenol

• Hospitals are safe and clean

• America has the best health care in the world

• And many, many more

Such examples of ‘conventional wisdom’ have cost billions to conjure up, and have led to even more in profits.

The Spin Doctors have Been Hard at Work

The history of conditioning can be traced back to the early part of the last century, specifically the work of guys like Edward L. Bernays, known as the “Father of Spin.” Edward L. Bernays took the ideas of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud, and applied them to the emerging science of mass persuasion. However, instead of using the psychological principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious in the way Freudian psychology does, Bernays used them as a marketing tool.

It was this method that led Bernays to become wildly successful in the field of PR and marketing, conditioning Americans to buy into corporate lies.

Bernays dominated the PR industry until the 1940s, and was a significant force for another 40 years after that. During all that time, Bernays took on hundreds of diverse assignments to create a public perception about some idea or product.

A few examples:

• As a neophyte with the Committee on Public Information, one of Bernays’ first assignments was to help sell the First World War to the American public with the idea to “Make the World Safe for Democracy.”

• A few years later, Bernays set up a stunt to popularize the notion of women smoking cigarettes. In organizing the 1929 Easter Parade in New York City, Bernays showed himself as a force to be reckoned with.

• He organized the Torches of Liberty Brigade in which suffragettes marched in the parade smoking cigarettes as a mark of women’s liberation. Such publicity followed from that one event that smoking became quite prevalent in women.

• Bernays popularized the idea of bacon for breakfast.

Bernays was also responsible for setting up the advertising format in conjunction with the AMA that aimed to prove cigarettes are beneficial to your health. The campaign lasted nearly 50 years, and the ads can still be seen in issues of Life or Time from the 40s and 50s.

The work of Bernays led to major corporations adopting the same psychological conditioning principles, and Bernays soon had more corporate clients than he could handle. Global corporations began utilizing the tactics on customers, bringing traditional advertising to another level. There were dozens of goods and services and ideas to be sold to a susceptible public. Over the years, these players have had the money to make their images happen.

A few examples

How to Break Free From the Conditioning Affecting Your Health

It is easy to see that vaccines and many other medical ‘treatments’ do not have solid scientific backing, and instead have been falsely established as unequivocally safe and effective solutions thanks to widespread conditioning in the manner of Edward L. Bernays.

Even the flu vaccine, shown to work in only one person in 100 and increase your risk of serious, even life threatening adverse effects, has been propped up as the best method of preventing the flu.

Thankfully, you can break free of the drug conditioning trap right now by following these natural health principles. I have not caught a flu in over two decades, and you can avoid it too, without getting vaccinated. Following these guidelines will help to keep your immune system in optimal working order so that you’re far less likely to acquire the infection to begin with.

• Optimize your vitamin D levels. Optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of all kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the true culprit behind the seasonality of the flu not the flu virus itself. This is probably the single most important and least expensive action you can take.

• Avoid sugar and processed foods. Sugar (especially fructose) decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice.

• Get enough rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu.

• Implement effective tools to address your stress. We all face some stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness. If you feel that stress is taking a toll on your health, consider using an effective energy psychology tool such as the Emotional Freedom Technique, which is remarkably effective in relieving stress associated with all kinds of events, from work to family to trauma.

• Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads.

• Take a good source of animal-based omega-3 fats like krill oil. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils like trans fats found in most processed foods, as it will seriously damage your immune response.

• Wash your hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this. Antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a simple non-toxic soap that you can switch your family to.

• Eat garlic regularly. Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body. And unlike with antibiotics, no resistance can be built up so it is an absolutely safe product to use. However, if you are allergic or don't enjoy garlic it would be best to avoid as it will likely cause more harm than good.

• Avoid hospitals whenever possible. I'd recommend you stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to flu bugs.

Drug company bias and social conditioning has truly covered up the most effective ways in which you can improve your health and your family's health. In order to truly take control of your health, it is essential that you break free from the conditioning of faulty "conventional wisdom" while also avoiding harmful medical interventions like the ineffective and dangerous flu vaccine. Remember that when you apply the principles above you can Take Control of Your Health!

Quecksilber the strange story of dental amalgam

Dental students are being poisoned by mercury from their deans and professors

SMOKING TEETH = POISON GAS

How Mercury Causes Brain Neuron Degeneration University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine Dept. of Physiology and Biophysics This short presentation available on the University website clearly shows how mercury in fillings can destroy brain neurons as seen with people who have Alzheimer’s Disease.

Brisbane-based holistic dentist spills the beans on the toxic mercury vapour that you get unknowingly exposed to when you visit the dentist.

Mercury is a powerful poison and if you have amalgam (silver) fillings you are being poisoned by them every day. Dr. Tom McGuire’s ‘Mercury: The Poison in Your Teeth’ Video demonstration proves that more mercury vapor is released by brushing a silver amalgam filling than is allowed by governmental regulatory agencies at the workplace. Dr. McGuire’s video also describes the symptoms of chronic mercury poisoning.

Dental amalgam, of course, is composed 50% of the dreadful neurotoxin mercury.

Jeffrey Shuren, director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH, the branch of the FDA responsible for the approval and safety of all medical devises) said at a public hearing in September, in San Francisco, that FDA will make an “announcement” on a new amalgam policy by the end of 2011. When questioned by a reporter at a major newspaper, FDA repeated that it would act in 2011.

As 2011 came to a close, the suspense grew as everyone speculated whether FDA would act or whether it would continue its decades of protecting the profits of pro-mercury dentists instead of protecting the health of American children.

With just six minutes left in the work year, at 4:54 pm on Friday, December 30, FDA conceded that no announcement was forthcoming – not in 2011, and maybe not at all.

In that midnight statement, one FDA press person, one Karen Jackler, said that another FDA press person, Morgan Liscinsky, would answer questions about amalgam.

So when the respected trade publication FDA Webview asked, Liscinsky said: No announcement. And no target date for FDA to do anything on amalgam. Instead, FDA said what it said ten years ago: it will “continue to study the safety of amalgam.”

Why Won’t the FDA Act to Protect You Against Toxic Mercury?

The FDA’s history of protecting dental amalgam is a long one.

For the past 32 years, the agency has refused to issue any public warning about neurotoxic risks, and in 2009, the FDA declared it safe under Class 2 for adults and children over the age of 6 who are not allergic to mercury—despite the overwhelming evidence showing mercury to be highly toxic and easily released in the form of vapor each time you eat, drink, brush your teeth, or otherwise stimulate your teeth.

These mercury vapors readily pass through cell membranes, across your blood-brain barrier, and into your central nervous system, where it can cause psychological, neurological, and immunological problems.

Children and fetuses, whose brains are still developing, are clearly most at risk, but anyone can be impacted, and the health risks get greater the longer you have your fillings.

According to Boyd Haley, retired professor emeritus at the University of Kentucky (where he headed the chemistry department), about 80 percent of the mercury vapor released from your fillings collect in your body tissues and can take months or years to eliminate. Needless to say, if your body keeps accumulating more mercury than it can eliminate, after many years of chronic exposure, you may end up with quite a bit of accumulated mercury in your body. Studies on cadavers have confirmed that the more amalgam fillings a person has, the more mercury collects in their brain, for example.

World Health Organization Urges Phasing Out of Dental Amalgam

Many hoped that the FDA would reconsider this foolish stance after the World Health Organization called for the phasing-out of amalgam in their 2011 report: “Future Use of Materials for Dental Restoration.” In May 2011, the Council of Europe also issued a proclamation calling for restrictions and prohibitions of mercury fillings, which are already banned in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Health Canada also stopped endorsing amalgam for use in children, pregnant women, and people with impaired kidney function, all the way back in 1996!

The World Health Organization noted the following three reasons for its new position:²

1. Amalgam releases a “significant amount of mercury” into the environment, including the atmosphere, surface water, groundwater, and soil. WHO reports:

   “When released from dental amalgam use into the environment through these pathways, mercury is transported globally and deposited. Mercury releases may then enter the human food chain especially via fish consumption.”

2. WHO determines that amalgam raises “general health concerns”: While the report acknowledges that a few dental trade groups still believe amalgam is safe for all, the WHO report reaches a very different conclusion: “Amalgam has been associated with general health concerns.” The report observes:

   “According to the Norwegian Dental Biomaterials Adverse Reaction Unit, the majority of cases of side-effects of dental filling materials are linked with dental amalgam.”

3. WHO concludes “materials alternative to dental amalgam are available” and cites studies indicating they are superior to amalgam. For example, WHO says “recent data suggest that RBCs [resin-based composites] perform equally well” as amalgam. And compomers have a higher survival rate, says WHO, citing a study finding that 95% of compomers and 92% of amalgams survive after 4 years. In particular, WHO explains that “Alternative restorative materials of sufficient quality are available for use in the deciduous [baby] dentition of children” – the population whose developing neurological systems are most susceptible to the neurotoxic effects of dental mercury. Perhaps more important than the survival of the filling, WHO asserts that:

   “Adhesive resin materials allow for less tooth destruction and, as a result, a longer survival of the tooth itself.”

The report also included mention of the known toxic effects of mercury exposure, stating that:

“Mercury is highly toxic and harmful to health. Approximately 80% of inhaled mercury vapor is absorbed in the blood through the lungs, causing damages to lungs, kidneys and the nervous, digestive, respiratory and immune systems. Health effects from excessive mercury exposure include tremors, impaired vision and hearing, paralysis, insomnia, emotional instability, developmental deficits during fetal development, and attention deficit and developmental delays during childhood.”

Why Does the FDA Ignore Its Own Experts?

In December 2010, in response to the outrage over their 2009 ruling, the FDA asked an advisory panel to examine the latest science on amalgams. The panel recommended that the FDA promptly:

• Make sure that all consumers and all parents know that amalgam is mainly mercury

• Stop amalgam use for children and pregnant women

Still, the agency hesitated… Then, in 2011, Shuren attended a series of town hall meetings around the US, where he heard so much criticism against the agency’s amalgam policy that he eventually began saying the agency would act on the petitions to reconsider its position. On November 30, 2011, the FDA confirmed to the Chicago Tribune that it did indeed intend to address amalgam in 2011, stating that:

But, it didn’t… According to Charlie Brown, national counsel for Consumers for Dental Choice, and President of the World Alliance for Mercury-Free Dentistry:

“At Jeff Shuren’s Center for Devices, politics wins. Science loses. Thirteen months ago, FDA’s own advisory panel of handpicked scientists told FDA to stop amalgam use for children and pregnant women. But Shuren fails to heed the scientists — even though, since September, he repeatedly announced that he intended to act on amalgam in 2011. Every day that Shuren fails to act, more children are subjected to this mercury product, which — FDA’s own rule concedes — can have ‘neurotoxic effects’ on the ‘developing neurological systems’ of children and unborn babies.”

No One NEEDS Amalgam to Remain Available...

Dental amalgam is far from an essential dental product; it’s interchangeable with many other filling materials that do not have the toxic profile amalgam has. Just consider these disturbing facts:

• Amalgam is the MOST EXPENSIVE dental material when you count environmental costs and clean-up costs.

• Amalgam is the number one cause of mercury exposure for consumers, according to the Canadian government and other sources.

• Mercury from dental offices is the largest source of mercury in wastewater. According to an article by Michael Bender (co-founder of the Mercury Policy Project), at least 40 percent of mercury flowing into municipal water treatment plants begins in dentist offices. And those plants are not set up to remove it, so it ends up in your fish.

• Americans and Europeans have more mercury in their mouths than exists in all products combined—more than 1,000 tons.

• Amalgams of the dead pose a risk to the living. Emissions from the combustion of mercury fillings during cremation are a significant contaminant of air, waterways, soil, wildlife, and food. Seven to nine metric tons of mercury per year escapes into the atmosphere during cremations.

Modern materials like resin composites and glass ionomers have rendered amalgam completely unnecessary for any clinical situation. In fact, the mercury-free alternatives are so advanced that entire nations, such as the Scandinavian countries, have stopped using amalgam altogether.

Already, about half of U.S. dentists are mercury-free and 77 percent of consumers who are told that amalgam contains mercury choose mercury-free alternatives. One of the most popular alternatives to amalgam is resin composite. Resin composites are made of a type of plastic reinforced with powdered glass. It is already common throughout the U.S. and the rest of the developed world, offering notable improvements over amalgam, as it:

• Is environmentally safe: Composite, which contains no mercury, does not pollute the environment. This saves taxpayers from paying the costs of cleaning up dental mercury pollution in our water, air, and land – and the costs of health problems associated with mercury pollution.

• Preserves healthy tooth structure, because, unlike amalgam, it does not require the removal of significant amounts of healthy tooth matter. Over the long term, composite preserves healthy tooth structure and actually strengthens teeth, leading to better oral health and less extensive dental work over the long-term.

• Is long-lasting: While some claim that amalgam fillings last longer than composite fillings, the science reveals this claim to be baseless. The latest studies show that composite not only lasts as long as amalgam, but actually has a higher overall survival rate.

The availability of a lesser-known alternative is making mercury-free dentistry possible even in the rural areas of developing countries. Atraumatic restorative treatment (also called alternative restorative treatment or ART) is a mercury-free restorative technique that has been demonstrated a success in a diverse array of countries around the world, including Tanzania, India, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Turkey, South Africa, Thailand, Canada, and a dozen others. ART relies on adhesive materials for the filling (instead of mercury) and uses only hand instruments to place the filling, making it particularly well-suited for rural areas of developing countries.

How You Can Help Protect Children Everywhere

It’s high time for the FDA start acting on the science and get on the bandwagon to protect the health of children and pregnant women across the U.S.

Your voice is needed in order to bring about permanent change in the fight for mercury-free dentistry.

I also urge you to tell your family, friends, and neighbors the truth about dental amalgams, and don’t let your dentist talk you into one for yourself or for your child. It’s not your dentist’s mouth—it’s YOUR mouth. And YOUR pocket book—which holds a great deal of buying power. If your dentist insists mercury is safe, you may want to seek a mercury-free dentist.

Important Information Regarding Amalgam Removal

For those of you who have mercury fillings, I recommend that you have them removed…When you have these fillings removed, you can be exposed to significant amounts of mercury vapors if the dentist doesn’t know what he or she is doing. It’s also for this reason that I strongly suggest you get healthy BEFORE having your fillings removed, as you want your detoxification mechanisms optimized prior to removal.

In a nutshell, biological dentistry views your teeth and gums as an integrated part of your entire body, and any medical treatments performed takes this fact into account. The primary aim of holistic dentistry is to resolve your dental problems while working in harmony with the rest of your body. Biological dentists are well aware of the dangers involved with toxic materials such as mercury fillings (aka amalgams). Some things that need to be done to keep you (and your dentist) safe during amalgam removal include:

• Providing you with an alternative air source and instructing you not to breathe through your mouth

• Using a cold-water spray to minimize mercury vapors

• Putting a rubber dam in your mouth so you don’t swallow or inhale any toxins

• Using a high-volume evacuator near the tooth at all times to evacuate the mercury vapor

• Washing your mouth out immediately after the fillings have been removed (the dentist should also change gloves after the removal)

• Immediately cleaning your protective wear and face once the fillings are removed

• Using room air purifiers

How to Find a Qualified Biological Dentist

Knowledgeable biological dentists can be hard to come by, so start your search by asking a friend, relative, neighbor, or inquire at your local health food store. The following links can also help you to find a mercury-free, biological dentist:

• Consumers for Dental Choice

• Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions (DAMS)

• Holistic Dental Association

The monitored employees had warned Congress that the agency was approving medical devices that posed unacceptable risks to patients. Six of the monitored scientists and doctors filed a lawsuit against the FDA in 2012.

They charged that the agency violated their constitutional rights to privacy by monitoring lawful activity in personal email accounts and using that information to harass and ultimately relieve some of them of their positions. According to the Washington Post:

“All had worked in an office responsible for reviewing devices for cancer screening and other purposes.

Copies of the e-mails show that, starting in January 2009, the FDA intercepted communications with congressional staffers and draft versions of whistleblower complaints complete with editing notes in the margins.

The agency also took electronic snapshots of the computer desktops of the FDA employees and reviewed documents they saved on the hard drives of their government computers.”

The FDA has declined to comment on the allegations, stating it does not comment on cases involved with litigation.

However, according to internal FDA documents obtained by the plaintiffs under the Freedom of Information Act, the agency had asked the Department of Health and Human Services’ (DHHS) inspector general to conduct an investigation back in May 2010, stating suspicions that the plaintiffs had improperly disclosed confidential business information about the devices.

The HHS inspector general’s office found no evidence of criminal conduct, stating the doctors and scientists had legal right to share their concerns with Congress and journalists.

Hence, no investigation was launched. But the FDA was not satisfied. On June 28 that same year, Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health wrote that, “We have obtained new information confirming the existence of information disclosures that undermine the integrity and mission of the FDA and, we believe, may be prohibited by law,” and again requested action be taken against the employees in question.

(Shuren is also the official who oversees mercury dental fillings, which they have been fraudulently referring to as ‘silver fillings.’ Shuren had promised to make an announcement about dental amalgam by the end of 2011. But with just six minutes left in the work year, at 4:54 pm on Friday, December 30, the FDA conceded that no announcement was forthcoming – not in 2011, and maybe not at all.)

After consulting with general prosecutors, the inspector general declined the second request for an investigation as well. Now the question is whether the agency monitored their employees within legal limits, and whether the purpose of the extensive monitoring was reasonable. Senator Charles Grassley doesn’t seem to think so, stating that:

“The FDA has a huge responsibility to protect public health and safety. It’s hard to see how managers apparently thought it was a good use of time to shadow agency scientists and monitor their e-mail accounts for legally protected communications with Congress.”

Systemic Corruption and Wrongdoing...

Although its roots go way further back, the current saga began in 2007, when the plaintiffs, all of whom worked for the FDA’s Office of Device Evaluation, claimed they began making internal complaints about a dozen radiological devices about to be approved despite lack of proof of effectiveness. The doctors and scientists were concerned that millions of patients would be put at risk. According to the featured article:

• Three devices risked missing signs of breast cancer

• One device risked falsely diagnosing osteoporosis

• One ultrasound device could malfunction while monitoring pregnant women in labor

• Several colon cancer screening devices employed such heavy doses of radiation that they risked causing cancer in otherwise healthy people

They also recommended against approval of a computer-aided imaging device for breast cancer screening a total of three times. But after the third rejection, a senior manager, Donna-Bea Tillman, suddenly approved the device in 2008. This and much more was detailed in a 2009 letter from an unknown number of FDA employees to President Obama’s transition team. In that letter (in which all the signatures were blacked out due to fear of retaliation from the FDA), the authors clearly spell out the need for a complete overhaul of the agency due to deep-rooted systemic corruption at the highest levels.

They write:

“On January 7, 2009, FDA physicians and scientists wrote to Mr. John Podesta: Through this letter and your action, we hope that future FDA employees will not experience the same frustration and anxiety that we have experienced for more than a year at the hands of FDA managers because we are committed to public integrity and were willing to speak out.

Currently there is an atmosphere at FDA in which the honest employee fears the dishonest employee, and not the other way around. Disturbingly, the atmosphere does not yet exist at FDA where honest employees committed to integrity and the FDA mission can act without fear of reprisal. ... America urgently needs change at FDA because FDA is fundamentally broken, failing to fulfill its mission, and because re-establishing a proper and effectively functioning FDA is vital to the physical and economic health of the nation.”

Remarkably, just two months later, Acting Commissioner Dr. Frank M. Torti and FDA attorneys sent an email to all FDA employees stating they “must comply with … obligations to keep certain information … confidential … [including] e-mail to and from employees within FDA [that document the] deliberative process.”

Furthermore, employees were told that “violation … can result in disciplinary sanctions and/or individual criminal liability.” A few days later, on March 24, 2009, Senator Grassley sent a letter to Dr. Torti stating that:

“Your memorandum … appears to run contrary to many statutes protecting executive branch communications with members of Congress… I am concerned with the timing of your memorandum, given some recent high-profile matters concerning your Agency and the release of information that has shown failures in FDA’s regulatory mission. [This] could be viewed … as an effort to chill and/or prevent FDA employees from exercising their rights under whistleblower protection laws.”

Congressional Hearing on Mammography Cover-Up is Overdue

Folks, this is a major story, and it’s about to get much bigger... There’s loads of powerful and damning information out there that can, and will, be used to call for a congressional hearing on the mammography cover-up. Decades ago, in 1974, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was warned by Professor Malcolm C. Pike at the University of Southern California School of Medicine that a number of specialists had concluded that “giving a woman under age 50 a mammogram on a routine basis is close to unethical.” And in the 1990s, Dr. Samuel Epstein started warning people about the dangers of mammography, stating:

“The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1 rad exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade’s screening... The high sensitivity of the breast, especially in young women, to radiation-induced cancer was known by 1970. Nevertheless, the establishment then screened some 300,000 women with X-ray dosages so high as to increase breast cancer risk by up to 20 percent in women aged 40 to 50 who were mammogrammed annually.”

Since then, concerned FDA doctors and scientists have issued a number of written warnings in the form of letters to various authorities, such as the October 2008 letter to Representative Dingell, notifying him of corruption within the FDA, which sparked a House Energy and Commerce Committee investigation into Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) activities.

A second letter, sent in January 2009 to HHS Secretary-Designate Tom Daschle, Baltimore City Health Department Chief Joshua Sharfstein, and nine members of Congress, delved into more detail. According to Medical Devices Today:

“In the case of an April 2008 approval of a computer-aided detection device for mammography, the scientists specifically charge (by title, but not by name) ODE Director Donna-Bea Tillman “and her subordinates” with the “most outrageous misconduct by ordering, coercing, and intimidating FDA physicians and scientists to recommend approval, and then retaliating when the physicians and scientists refused to go along.”

The letter also includes a bullet-pointed list of nine “examples of wrongdoing” by the ODE Director, including ordering physicians and scientists to ignore FDA guidance documents and allowing manufacturers to market unapproved devices.”

In October that same year (2009), the US Preventive Task Force revised its recommendations on mammograms, stating that women in their 40s should no longer get routine mammograms for early detection of breast cancer. Instead, the panel recommended waiting until the age of 50, and only doing one mammogram every other year, instead of yearly. They also suggested women between 40 to 49 should talk to their doctor about the risks and benefits of the test, and then decide if they want to be screened.

Many cancer organizations were outraged and have shunned the task forces’ new directive; completely ignoring the data supporting their decision... The main reason behind the changed guidelines? The inherent dangers and short-comings of mammographic screening...

Could More Women Be Harmed than Helped with Mammography?

While roughly 15 percent of women in their 40s detect breast cancer through mammography, many other women experience false positives, anxiety, and unnecessary biopsies as a result of the test, according to the data. In fact, a full decade ago, a Danish study published in The Lancet concluded that previous research showing a benefit of mammograms was flawed and that widespread mammogram screening is unjustified. That mammograms are still recommended at all speaks volumes about the state of modern medicine...

Mammograms expose your body to radiation that can be 1,000 times greater than that from a chest X-ray, which poses risks of cancer. Mammography also compresses your breasts tightly (and often painfully), which could lead to a lethal spread of cancerous cells, should they exist.

In April 2011, the prestigious Cochrane Collaboration chimed in, saying mammography screening may cause more harm than good. For their informative leaflet, please see the following link. Even more provocative is the new book, Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy by Peter C. Gøtzsche, Professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis Director at The Nordic Cochrane Centre, and Chief Physician. The very first paragraph of the book’s ad reads:

Now, that’s a bold statement! And it’s backed up by facts. According to the Cochrane Collaboration, for every 2,000 women invited for screening over the course of 10 years, just ONE woman will have her life prolonged. Meanwhile, 10 healthy women, who would not have been diagnosed with cancer had it not been for the mammography screening, will be misdiagnosed as having breast cancer, and will be treated unnecessarily. Additionally, more than 200 women will experience significant psychological distress for many months due to false positives.

Did You Know? There are No Guidelines for Lumpectomies

These sad and shocking statistics are worsened further by reports such as this one, published in the New York Times, revealing that oncologists (cancer surgeons) perform lumpectomies without any guidelines whatsoever, despite the fact that it’s the most commonly performed breast cancer surgery there is. According to the cited study, about half of all women undergoing a second lumpectomy may not have needed it. On the other hand, some who did not get repeat surgery may have benefited from it. According to The New York Times:

“Rates of repeat surgery can vary widely by doctor, from zero percent to 70 percent, according to the study. The additional operations are done when pathology reports on tumor specimens suggest that the first operation may have left behind some cancer cells. But surgeons differ when it comes to interpreting those reports. ... Such uncertainty about a cancer operation that has been in use for 30 years is “a shame,” said Dr. Laurence E. McCahill, the first author of the study and a surgeon and assistant director of the Lacks Cancer Center in Grand Rapids, Mich.

... [Another] major reason for the variation in repeat operations after lumpectomy is that there is no consensus among surgeons about how big a rim or “margin” of healthy tissue should be taken out when a cancer is removed. Surgeons try to cut cleanly around a tumor and remove enough of a margin to ensure that they excised all the cancer.”

Indeed, you’d think they’d have it nailed down a bit better by now, but it just goes to show that a lot of what the general public assumes is science-based medicine is anything but. Interestingly, a study by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health indicates that spontaneous remission of breast cancer is not quite as miraculous as we might think. In fact, it’s actually quite common. According to their findings, more than one in five invasive cancers detected in the study by mammography vanished without ever being treated!

All in all, there’s convincing evidence that mammography is not all it’s cracked up to be, and the FDA is not doing its stated job to protect your health. Instead, they’re busy catering to industry and skirting the boundaries of the law to protect their own and their client’s behinds; their client, of course, being the drug or medical company—the ones they’re supposed to be regulating and keeping honest... It’s going to take a lot to change the course of this agency at this point, but indeed it must be done. Or the entire notion of a safety and efficacy standard for drugs and medical devices of all kinds will be moot.

Sources of Heavy Metal Exposure

The main heavy metals of concern are aluminum, nickel, cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury.

Due to pollution and industrialization, these elements that normally reside deep in the earth have been introduced to our environment in unprecedented amounts.

As a result, heavy metals have made their way into damn near every aspect of our modern lives.

• Vegetables - due to soil contamination

• Grains (especially brown rice)

• Canned foods - using metals

• Chocolate (especially dark)

• Pesticides - which incorporate heavy metals

• Seafood (especially larger fish) - as the ocean gets contaminated from pollution

• Vaccines

• Water

• Medical devices

• Cigarettes / vapes

• The air itself

• Supplements

• Dental devices

• Utensils

• Aluminum foil

• Cookware (+ utensils)

• Drugs

• Jewelry

• Tattoos

• Glassware

• Cars (especially working on engines)

• Batteries

• Wires

• Paint (especially old)

• Piping

• Sewage

• Ceramic

• Gasoline/oil

• Grills/charcoal

• Personal care products

• Cosmetics

• Baking powder

• Food additives

If you work in a lab, with batteries, cars, if you’re a welder, electrician, or any type of manual labor that requires contact with metal, oil, gas, or other industrial processes, chances are you’re getting disproportionately exposed to these.

Heavy Metal Toxicity Signs & Symptoms

These poisons have such a fundamental way of disrupting normal biology/biochemistry that they can impact nearly every aspect of health.

• Mental/cognitive health

• Fat gain

• Hormonal disruptions

• Liver problems

• Cancer

• Gut issues - IBS, IBDs

• Respiratory issues

• Fatigue

• Kidney problems

• Heart diseases

Mechanisms of Heavy Metal Toxicity

While metals can be toxic, our body needs certain metals, or minerals. Zinc, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, etc. etc.

These are essential elements that are intertwined, literally, with every fiber of our being. Toxic heavy metals use this property, essentially “hacking” the role of many of these nutrients, due to their chemical similarity.

As a result, they:

• Bind to native proteins and enzymes

• Deplete antioxidants

• Cause oxidative stress

• Drive inflammation

• Increase intracellular calcium

• Impair mitochondrial function

People were gullible back then. The post-war era had wrapped science in a holy glow. After nylon, rayon, plastic, and the rest of the wartime innovations, society had been trained to worship the men in lab coats. Whatever they said — we believed. The idea that “experts” could lie, or worse, experiment on us, was unthinkable.

My father was part of that optimistic machine — a chemical engineer at a starch plant that pumped out everything from food additives to industrial compounds. He brought home stability, pride, and a sense that chemistry was the language of the future. I grew up thinking the world could be improved molecule by molecule. Each summer, I faced the dentist’s drill — a crude, buzzing nightmare of smoke, heat, and pain. But I trusted it. Pain, we were told, meant progress.

Down the street, the corner shop sold penny candy and gum for a nickel. I never connected the dots between sugar and cavities — nobody did. So when fluoride came along, it sounded like a child’s dream: eat all the candy you want, and science will fix your teeth afterward. Yet the next year, the cavities kept coming.

Then came the big rollout: fluoride in the public water supply, fluoride in toothpaste, fluoride everywhere. If a little was good, surely more would be better — that’s how we thought. We never questioned the logic. We never asked who was funding the research, who was profiting, or why industrial waste suddenly became a “health treatment.”

Decades later, the curtain lifted. The miracle chemical that was supposed to protect us had been a Trojan horse. Not only did fluoride fail to prevent tooth decay effectively, but it was linked to brittle bones, stained teeth, thyroid disorders, and even cancer. What began as a patriotic trust in science turned out to be one of the longest-running public experiments in modern history — an experiment conducted on all of us without informed consent.

In short, fluoride is a poison!

This is not news to the medical world. The Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine have both reported greater incidence of hip fractures in fluoridated areas. The National Institute of Environmental and Health Services has linked fluoridation with cancer.

A book by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, titled “Fluoride, The Aging Factor,” shows that the drug causes a premature aging process. He notes that in areas where fluoride is consumed in the drinking water, there are higher rates of bone disorders (skeletal fluorosis, osteoporosis and arthritic pain) and people suffer from brown decaying teeth.

“Fluoride is a poison!” Yiamouyiannis warns.” The 1984 issue of Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products lists fluoride as more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic. It has been used as a pesticide for mice, rats and other small pests. A 10-pound infant could be killed by 1/100 of an ounce and a 100-pound adult could be killed by 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride. The Akron Regional Poison Center indicates that a 7-ounce tube of toothpaste contains 199 mg. of fluoride, more than enough to kill a 25-pound child.”

Yiamouyiannis writes that the acceleration of the aging process by fluoride occurs at the bio-chemical level by causing enzyme inhibition, collagen breakdown, genetic damage and disruption of the immune system.

“Fluoride interacts with the bonds which maintain the normal shape of proteins,” he continues. “With distorted protein, the immune system attacks it’s own protein, the body’s own tissue.” The visual and physical effects from prolonged exposure to fluoride include nausea, bloody vomit, faintness, stomach cramps, tremors, constipation, aching bones, stiffness, skin rash, weight loss and brown or black discoloration of the teeth.

The horror in this story is that fluoride was known as a deadly poison from the start. But if this was true, why would the U. S. government promote the sale of it to its own people, and later people all over the world? Would you believe the answer to this question is money?

There is compelling evidence that the program of water fluoridation began as a massive effort to cover up bad publicity from one of the most toxic materials to emerge from the government’s secret nuclear weapons program. The idea was that if fluoride could be presented to the country as beneficial, then no one could sue the government for being harmed by it.

An article by Dr. Jackie Alan Giuliani in “Healing Our World” noted that reporters Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson discovered the truth about fluoride while researching hundreds of declassified documents about the Manhattan Project, America’s secret atomic bomb development program.

They found that fluoride as a key chemical in atomic bomb production. Millions of tons were used during the Cold War period to manufacture high-grade uranium and plutonium.

“Fluoride was the top chemical hazard of the U.S. nuclear weapons program, not only for workers, but for those living in nearby communities as well,” Giuliani wrote.

“The documents show that the first U.S. lawsuits levied against the atomic weapons program were over fluoride poisoning, not radiation damage. The documents reveal that the U.S. government secretly ordered atomic bomb scientists to create “evidence useful in litigation” against defense contractors who were being accused of injuring citizens with fluoride.”

This secret work to head-off government lawsuits lead to a multi-billion dollar industry that has been poisoning our water supplies, our toothpaste, and our bodies ever since. Believe this or not, fluoride tablets are even available for children.
To escape the harmful effects of fluoride, Yiamouyiannis suggests that you seek non-fluoride toothpaste (but you may have to go to health stores to find it), and drink bottled water. Even using tap water to cook may expose you to fluoride.
Now that the truth about fluoride is out, why haven’t towns and toothpaste companies stopped dumping this terrible poison in our water and toothpaste supplies? Don’t expect that to happen. Remember, I said this is a multi-billion dollar industry. Nobody shuts down a money machine like that without a fight.

The Neurotoxicity Of Fluoride In Drinking Water

Sodium Fluoride is currently added to the majority of municipal water systems in the U.S. to prevent cavities in children. Its use has risen rapidly since the 1950’s. Sodium Fluoride is also registered with the EPA as a rat poison, although advocates say its use in low levels in water poses no adverse health concerns. There has been considerable research done on fluoride regarding cancer, birth defects, and risks to the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems, however, very little has been done on its neurological effects.

First Study to Find Neurological Deficits After Fluoride Exposure

Chinese investigations have shown levels of fluoride in drinking water at levels of 3-11 ppm affect the nervous system without first causing physical malformations. Another Chinese study found Attention Deficit Disorders in adult humans if sublingual drops containing 100 ppm of sodium fluoride were administered. Sources of fluoride exposure include processed beverages, toothpastes, mouth rinses, dietary supplements and food. This is an exposure level potentially relevant to humans because toothpastes contain 1000 to 1500 ppm fluoride and mouth rinses contain 230-900 ppm fluoride.

In the 1995 article appearing in the journal Neurotoxicology and Teratology, Dr. Phyllis J Mullenix states,

“Still unexplored, however, is the possibility that fluoride exposure is linked with subtle brain dysfunction. This is the first study to demonstrate that central nervous system output is vulnerable to fluoride, that the effects on behavior depend on the age at exposure and that fluoride accumulates in brain tissues. Of course behaviors per se do not extrapolate, but a generic behavioral pattern disruption as found in this rat study can be indicative of potential for motor dysfunction, IQ deficits and/or learning disabilities in humans. Substances that accumulate in brain tissue potentiate concerns about neurotoxic risk.”

Health Risks Associated with Fluoride

Hypersensitivity & Acute Fluoride Toxicity

Fluoride triggers acute toxic reactions and hypersensitivity responses—not just long-term damage but immediate, visible harm. FAN documents cases of people experiencing allergic-type reactions to fluoride (in toothpaste, mouth-rinse or water), ranging from skin rash and hives to serious respiratory distress.

Meanwhile, acute overdose of fluoride has caused nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hypocalcaemia, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death.

In short: fluoride is not only a slow-burn systemic toxin—it also has the capacity to cause fast, dangerous reactions when levels spike or sensitivity is present.

Brain

Fluoride’s impact on the human brain is no longer speculation; it’s one of the most documented areas in environmental health research. More than 600 studies show that fluoride can harm the brain — over 300 in animals and 85 in humans — linking exposure to lower IQ, memory loss, and impaired learning. The U.S. National Toxicology Program’s 2023 review confirmed 52 of 55 studies found IQ decline with higher fluoride exposure, and even the Lancet classified fluoride among 11 chemicals known to damage the developing brain. Harvard researchers, analyzing 27 international studies, reached the same conclusion in 2012. The National Research Council had warned back in 2006 that fluoride interferes with brain function and might contribute to dementia. Together, these findings expose a pattern: the very substance promoted for “public health” may be quietly eroding intelligence and altering brain chemistry across generations.

Endocrine & Hormonal Disruption from Fluoride

Emerging research reveals that fluoride exposure is not just an issue for teeth and bones — it may silently undermine the body’s hormone systems. According to FAN’s overview, fluoride has been shown to interfere with thyroid function, disrupt the pituitary and pineal glands, affect insulin regulation, and alter sex hormones.

One review found that children exposed to higher-fluoride water supplies had higher thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and lower thyroid hormone (T3/T4) levels — especially in areas where iodine intake was already low.

Perhaps most troubling: fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland — a hormone-producing organ critical for sleep and circadian rhythm. Some studies have found fluoride in concentrations in the pineal gland higher than found in many bones, suggesting long-term bioaccumulation.

In short: the chemical once hailed purely for dental benefits is now under scrutiny for subtle hormonal damage — damage that can ripple across metabolism, growth, reproduction and sleep cycles.

Dental

Fluoride’s role in dental health has long been celebrated—but the story is more nuanced than the public narrative suggests. The FAN “Dental” page notes that while fluoride was introduced to prevent tooth decay, the rise of dental fluorosis (white flecks, stains, pitting on enamel) in western countries suggests over-exposure is already happening.

The problem begins in early childhood, when permanent teeth are forming: ingesting excess fluoride at that stage leads to visible enamel changes that cannot be reversed. It’s not just cosmetic either—when exposure is high, the risk of fluorosis rises significantly, which raises questions about the margin between “enough fluoride for benefit” and “too much fluoride for harm.” Recent large-scale data show that higher water and plasma fluoride levels correspond with greater odds of fluorosis in children.

Just after the first successful trial in taking down Monsanto, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) published a haunting report on the levels of glyphosate in food. According to the independent laboratory tests commissioned by the EWG, popular oat cereals, oatmeal, granola and snack bars come with a heavy dose of the cancer-causing weedkiller, Roundup.

Why Should We Care About Glyphosate in Food?

Glyphosate is the main ingredient found in the popular weed-killer Roundup. Back in 2015, a famous study published by the International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) came to the conclusion that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

The link between glyphosate and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is particularly strong. One study, published in 2008 by Swedish researchers, found that exposure to glyphosate tripled the risk of a subtype of non-Hodgkin called small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Another study published in 2003 showed a suggestive link between glyphosate-based herbicide use and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The more pesticides a subject used, the more non-Hodgkin lymphoma incidences increased. Subjects who used five or more of the nine pesticides were “twice as likely to be NHL cases than controls.”

Aside from cancer, glyphosate has been associated with a host of health issues, like kidney disease, reproductive problems, liver damage and birth defects.

Glyphosate also interferes with the ability of a plant to uptake nutrients from the soil. Glyphosate, which is a patented chelating agent, binds with nutrients in the soil and prevents plants from absorbing them. It also acts as an antibiotic, which can kill bacteria both in the soil and our own guts (both of which are incredibly important for plant and human health).

Regardless of the evidence, Monsanto still states that “Glyphosate has a 40-year history of safe and effective use. In evaluations spanning those four decades, the overwhelming conclusion of experts worldwide, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has been that glyphosate can be used safely.” Despite the lawsuit, it seems Monsanto is still in denial.

Fasting is a beautiful thing. It has brought me such clarity, peace, breakthroughs and a sense of confidence because I’m tending to my mind, body and spirit all in one. Using it consistently can create powerful long term results in your life. This is a beginners guide, meant to be a basic foundation for getting started. One of the main things I hope you take away is fasting is not limiting, it’s liberating. It’s an exchange. Although, you give up something. You gain so much more.

Fasting can be beyond Food:

Although fasting is bigger than food, in this beginner guide I’ll focus on food. At its core, fasting is simply the act of stepping back from something so you can reconnect with yourself. You can fast from food, yes but you can also fast from social media, negative thoughts, constant noise, toxic people, or anything that consumes your energy. Every fast creates space. Space for clarity, healing, balance, and a deeper connection to what truly matters. In a world where we’re constantly plugged in, scrolling, eating, and doing, fasting is the forgotten art of pause. It’s not about lack, it’s about freedom. By choosing where you place your energy, you reclaim your power.

What Fasting Is (and Isn’t)

Fasting = intentionally taking a break from eating for a set period of time. It’s not starvation — it’s a controlled, intentional reset.

A Brief History of Fasting

Fasting isn’t a new health trend — it’s one of the oldest self-care and spiritual practices in human history.

Ancient Survival Necessity

• Before agriculture, early humans lived as hunter-gatherers.

• Food was not always available, so going hours or even days without eating was normal.

• Our bodies evolved to handle these fasting periods, developing the ability to store energy and burn fat when food was scarce.

• This natural rhythm shaped our metabolism and is part of why fasting can feel instinctive.

Religious & Spiritual Practice

For thousands of years, fasting has been used as a tool for purification, discipline, and spiritual connection.

• Islam – Ramadan requires fasting from sunrise to sunset for a month to foster self-control and gratitude.

• Hinduism – Fasting days (e.g., Ekadashi) are seen as a way to purify body and mind.

• Buddhism – Monks traditionally avoid eating after midday, using fasting to deepen mindfulness.

• Christianity – Lent and other fasting periods symbolize sacrifice and renewal.

Across cultures, fasting was never just about food — it was about clarity, humility, and connection to something greater.

Medical & Healing Traditions

• Ancient Greece – Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” advised fasting to help the body heal itself.

• Ayurveda & Traditional Chinese Medicine – Fasting was prescribed to restore balance and clear toxins.

• 19th & 20th Century Natural Hygiene Movement – Advocated fasting to allow the body’s natural healing processes to work without the “burden” of digestion.

Modern Scientific Interest

• In the 20th century, fasting became less common due to abundant food supply and modern eating habits.

• Recently, research in intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating has shown benefits for metabolism, inflammation, brain health, and longevity.

• Now, fasting is studied not only as a weight management tool but as a way to potentially delay aging and prevent chronic disease.

Why Fasting Works

Physical Benefits

• Activates your body’s natural “cell repair” process (autophagy).

• Supports healthy weight and body composition.

• Reduces inflammation and helps restore balance.

• May improve heart and brain health over time.

Mental Benefits

• Increases focus and mental clarity.

• Boosts natural energy without sugar crashes.

• Strengthens discipline and control over cravings.

Spiritual Benefits

Fasting isn’t just about food — it’s a sacred pause. It’s stepping out of the constant cycle of consumption to remember that you are more than your cravings, more than your schedule, more than what you eat. Symbolically, fasting is an act of returning to yourself. Every time you fast, you’re telling your body and spirit, “I am not ruled by the world’s pace or my own impulses.” You create space —space for reflection, space for clarity, space for the voice of your soul to be heard above the noise.

In today’s world, we rarely stop consuming. Food, media, noise, opinions — it’s all constant. Fasting is rare because stillness is rare. It’s countercultural to slow down, to deny the urge for “more,” and to sit with the quiet. But that’s exactly why fasting is powerful — it breaks the trance of modern life.

When practiced regularly, fasting becomes a spiritual training ground. It sharpens self-control, deepens gratitude, and softens the ego’s grip. Imagine a world where people practiced fasting not just to change their bodies, but to renew their minds, heal their spirits, and remember their shared humanity.

How to Start Safely

Before You Begin

• If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have a history of eating disorders, consult a healthcare professional.

• Stay hydrated — water is your best friend.

• Break your fast with gentle, whole foods (fruit, vegetables, healthy fats).

Tips for Confidence

1. Start small, and build upwards from there. (Ex: Eating at 12pm, then 2pm, then once a day. But if you’re ready, go for a full day.

2. Start small — even pushing breakfast back by 2 hours counts.

3. Keep busy during fasting hours to avoid “watching the clock.”

4. Remind yourself: hunger comes in waves and usually passes in 15–20 minutes.

What’s Normal in the Beginning

• Mild headaches, hunger pangs, or low energy for the first few days.

• Your body is switching from burning sugar to burning fat (metabolic adaptation).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overeating during your eating window.

• Drinking sugary drinks or “hidden calorie” beverages while fasting.

• Being overly rigid — fasting is a tool, not a punishment.

• Ignoring your body’s signals (dizziness, severe fatigue, or intense discomfort).

How to Build the Habit

• Pair fasting with something enjoyable (reading, walking, journaling).

• Track your fasting hours with a calendar.

• Join a community or have an accountability partner.

• Celebrate small wins, even a 12-hour fast is progress.

When You Get Tempted, My Techniques

• Imagine all the times in your life you’ve had food. Thousands of times, the same foods back to back to back. Now just remember what it tastes like, remember that when you eat the taste lasts for limited seconds or minutes and it’s gone. Give yourself the taste in the mind.

• Think about why you started, and how far you’ve come. If you have a clarity goal or weight loss goal or discipline. Think about why you want to push through and let that purpose ground you back to your commitment.

• Set up your day and life to thrive. Don’t put yourself in the position to lose. Don’t go to a party full of your favorite free food and expect to be fine if you’re new to this.

Fasting, the Law of the Vacuum, and Manifestation

At its core, the Law of the Vacuum says that nature abhors a void. When you clear out space—physically, mentally, or spiritually—it creates an energetic opening for something new to flow in. If you want to manifest more health, clarity, abundance, or peace, you first have to release what’s clogging the channel.

That’s exactly how fasting works.

1. Creating Space in the Body

When you fast, you pause constant digestion. Instead of using energy to process food, your body directs it toward repair, detox, and renewal. Cells clear out waste through autophagy, your mind feels lighter, and your spirit feels more open. This isn’t just a health practice—it’s energetic housekeeping. You are literally creating space inside yourself.

2. Clearing Attachments

Food is often tied to habit, comfort, and unconscious patterns. By abstaining, you temporarily step out of those attachments. The cravings you feel are signals of stored emotional or energetic clutter. Sitting with them instead of immediately satisfying them teaches you how to hold space for desire without rushing to fill it. That same discipline strengthens your ability to hold the “vacuum” long enough for new manifestations to arrive.

3. Inviting in the New

Once you’ve made space, the universe rushes to fill it. Fasting makes you more receptive—your intuition sharpens, your gratitude deepens, and your alignment strengthens. This is why many spiritual traditions pair fasting with prayer, meditation, or intention setting. You’ve emptied the vessel, so now you can consciously choose what to fill it with: clearer thoughts, higher energy, or a specific vision you’re calling in.

4. Practical Manifestation During Fasting

• Set an Intention: Don’t just fast to avoid food. Fast with a purpose: health, clarity, abundance, peace.

• Use Visualization: Each time you notice hunger, imagine it as space being cleared for your new desire.

In short: Fasting is a living metaphor of manifestation. By emptying, you create space. By creating space, you invite in the new. And by inviting consciously, you align the vacuum with the life you’re choosing to manifest.

Why This Matters for a New Conscious World

In a New Conscious World, we imagine communities built on presence, self-awareness, and harmony — with ourselves, each other, and the Earth. Fasting is more than a health practice; it’s a gateway to conscious living.

When we fast, we step outside the endless loop of consumption and remember that enough is already within us. We become more mindful of how we use resources, more connected to the cycles of nature, and more capable of making intentional choices.

On a collective level, if more people practiced fasting — physically and symbolically —we would see less waste, less impulse-driven living, and more people moving from reaction to reflection. Fasting teaches patience, gratitude, and restraint — values that ripple outward into how we treat each other and the planet.

This is why fasting isn’t just personal. It’s cultural. It’s spiritual. It’s one of the small, powerful practices that can shift humanity toward a more conscious, compassionate future.

Closing Mindset

Think of fasting as giving your body and soul the gift of rest. You’re not depriving yourself — you’re creating space for healing, clarity, and deeper connection to your body, mind, and spirit. Practiced over years, it can be one of the most transformative habits in your life — for you, and for the world we are building together.

1. FATS

From Sacred Fuel to Inflammatory Oil

Clean Ancestral Fats:
Raw butter from grass-fed cows
Beef tallow
Duck and goose fat
Coconut oil (cold-pressed, unrefined)
Extra virgin olive oil (first cold-press)
Black seed oil (cold-pressed)
Cod liver oil (fermented, unprocessed)

Why they matter:
These fats are heat-stable, rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K2), and essential for brain function, hormone production, and cell membranes. Traditional cultures revered these fats — they were often the first foods given to babies or postpartum mothers.

Modern Toxic Fats:
Canola oil
Soybean oil
Corn oil
Cottonseed oil
Sunflower/safflower oil (refined)
Margarine
Shortening (Crisco)
Synthetic trans fats

The problem:
Industrial seed oils are made with chemical solvents (like hexane), deodorized at high heat, and are extremely unstable, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Their rise parallels the explosion in heart disease, obesity, and neurological disorders.

Little-known fact: Seed oils are used in lab studies to deliberately induce cancer and obesity in animals.

2. PROTEINS

From Nose-to-Tail Nutrition to Lab-Grown Mystery Meat

Clean Ancestral Proteins:
Grass-fed beef and lamb
Pasture-raised poultry and eggs
Wild-caught fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon)
Organ meats (liver, heart, kidney, spleen)
Bone marrow, tendon, cartilage, gelatin
Raw dairy from pastured animals

Why they matter:
Our ancestors consumed entire animals, not just muscle meat. Organ meats provided unmatched levels of B12, retinol, CoQ10, and heme iron. These proteins were clean, untainted by pesticides or pharma drugs, and part of a deep respect for the life cycle.

Modern Toxic Proteins:
Factory-farmed meat (CAFO)
Processed deli meats (with nitrates, colorants)
Caged chicken eggs
Farmed fish (GMO feed, antibiotics)
“Plant-based meats” (pea protein isolates, fake heme, GM soy)
Lab-grown meat (immortalized cell lines)

The problem:
Modern meat is drug-laced, inflammatory, and nutrient-poor, raised in abusive, antibiotic-filled systems. Lab-grown meat uses cancer-like immortalized cells and high-tech “nutrient serums” — not food.

Little-known fact: Most plant-based meats are ultra-processed and contain over 50 ingredients, including MSG analogs.

3. GRAINS & CARBS

From Sacred Staples to Gut-Wrecking Fillers

Clean Ancestral Carbs:
Ancient grains (einkorn, spelt, emmer)
Sourdough bread (long-fermented)
Root vegetables (sweet potatoes, carrots, beets)
Buckwheat, millet, wild rice
Raw honey, dates, maple syrup (used sparingly)
Sprouted or soaked legumes

Why they matter:
Traditional societies soaked, sprouted, or fermented grains to neutralize anti-nutrients (like phytic acid). Carbs were seasonal and eaten in whole form — not stripped and bleached.

Modern Toxic Carbs:
Refined white flour
White bread, bagels, “whole grain” fakes
Breakfast cereals and granola bars
High-fructose corn syrup
GMO corn products
Artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose)

The problem:
Today’s carbs are devoid of fiber, enzymes, or minerals, sprayed with glyphosate, and often engineered for addiction. They spike blood sugar and feed metabolic disease.

Little-known fact: Modern wheat has double the gluten and is often dried with glyphosate just before harvest.

4. FRUITS & VEGETABLES

From Wild Medicine to Sterile Produce

Clean Ancestral Produce:
Wild or heirloom fruits
Bitter greens (dandelion, arugula, mustard greens)
Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, radish, broccoli)
Seasonal, organic, and locally grown
Fermented vegetables (sauerkraut, kvass, kimchi)
Foraged herbs and roots

Why they matter:
Ancestral produce was grown in microbially rich soil, often used for detox, digestive health, and immune support. Bitter herbs stimulated bile and metabolic healing.

Modern Toxic Produce:
GMO corn and soy-based veggies
Non-organic apples, spinach, strawberries (high pesticide)
Bagged salads (washed in chlorine, irradiated)
Waxed, color-enhanced, shelf-stable produce
“Vegan” foods made of chemical sludge

The problem:
Modern vegetables are often stripped of microbes, sprayed with hormone-disrupting pesticides, and genetically modified. Taste and texture are prioritized over nutrient content.

Little-known fact: A modern apple may contain 1/100th the phytonutrients of its wild ancestor.

In cultures around the world, elders are viewed as wise, vital, and respected. They farm, teach, create, dance, and live rich, meaningful lives well into their 80s and 90s. But in the modern Western world, aging has been quietly reframed — not as a normal biological process — but as a medical condition in need of constant diagnosis, drugs, and disease labels.

It’s no coincidence that the moment you hit your 50s or 60s, you’re no longer treated like a whole person — you become a managed patient. This is not by accident. It’s by design — and it’s incredibly profitable.

Step One: Turn Aging Into a Marketable Disease

Pharmaceutical companies don't profit from healthy people — or even from sick people who heal. They profit from symptom management, lifelong dependency, and the illusion of medical necessity.

Here’s how the industry manufactures illness out of normal aging:

• Wrinkles = a “problem” → sell Botox, fillers, lasers, creams

• Slower metabolism = obesity → sell weight loss drugs, gastric surgery, diabetes meds

• Joint pain = arthritis diagnosis → sell NSAIDs, steroids, joint injections

• Mild memory lapses = pre-dementia → sell Alzheimer’s drugs (with no real efficacy)

• Lower libido = testosterone or estrogen “replacement therapy” → sell hormones

• Fatigue or sadness = depression → prescribe lifelong antidepressants

Even natural, adaptive changes in the body — such as declining hormones, a slower pace, or changing sleep patterns — are recast as dysfunctions that need chemical correction.

What’s missing? No discussion of mitochondrial decline, insulin resistance, mineral depletion, or emotional disconnection. Just quick labels, quick pills, and lifelong prescriptions.

The goal is not to heal. The goal is to convert each phase of aging into a pipeline of revenue — disguised as “care.”

Step Two: Hook Them With Polypharmacy

By the time most people reach 65, they’ve been placed on 5 to 15 medications, often for life, including:

• Statins for “high cholesterol”

• Beta blockers or ACE inhibitors for mild hypertension

• Metformin or insulin for creeping blood sugar

• Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for heartburn

• Antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds

• NSAIDs or opioids for pain

• Bone density drugs (like Fosamax) for osteopenia

Many of these are prescribed “just in case”, not because the person is acutely sick. Once on them, few are ever taken off. And most aren’t told: these medications can interact, compete for liver detox enzymes, strip critical nutrients, and create the very symptoms they're supposed to fix.

The average senior is not aging poorly — they’re being chemically aged by the very drugs they’re told will help them.

The Lies Behind Modern Aging

Lie #1: “You’re declining — this is inevitable.”

Normal aging is not supposed to mean:

• Losing your memory

• Losing your independence

• Losing your muscle, joy, or libido

• Falling every year

• Ending up on 10+ pills

These are signs of lifestyle failure, medication overload, environmental toxins, poor nutrition, and disconnection from meaningful purpose — not age itself.

In Blue Zones (longest-lived populations), 80– and 90-year-olds still walk miles, tend gardens, cook meals, and dance at family events.

Lie #2: “You need this medication for life.”

Most medications are prescribed without addressing the root cause. If your blood pressure is up, no one asks about:

• Magnesium levels (often low in the elderly)

• Insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome

• Sleep apnea or poor oxygenation

• Chronic stress and cortisol dysregulation

• Dehydration or kidney strain

• Heavy metals or EMF exposure affecting vascular tone

You're simply given a pill — often one that depletes nutrients and causes fatigue, dizziness, or sexual dysfunction… then another pill to manage those side effects.

Example: PPIs reduce stomach acid, which then impairs absorption of calcium, B12, magnesium, and zinc — leading to fractures, fatigue, memory loss, and more.

Lie #3: “Preventative medicine = annual screenings and statins.”

Preventive care has been reduced to:

• Mammograms

• Colonoscopies

• CT scans

• Statin prescriptions

• Bone density drugs

None of these builds health. They merely hunt for disease in asymptomatic people, using fear to drive compliance and pad hospital billing codes. Meanwhile, true prevention — movement, minerals, sunlight, whole food, deep sleep, community, and emotional wellbeing — is ignored or dismissed as “unscientific.”

❝If a medication needs another to handle its side effects, that’s not medicine — that’s a trap.❞

This is how it begins. One small prescription — usually for something seemingly minor.

• A little acid reflux.

• A bit of high blood pressure.

• A few anxious thoughts.

You’re told it’s safe. You’re told it’ll help. And for a short while… it does. But then the side effects creep in.

That reflux pill (like omeprazole or pantoprazole) shuts off stomach acid —and now you can’t properly digest minerals or absorb B12. Fatigue sets in. Your immune system weakens. That blood pressure med helps your numbers —but you feel light-headed, foggy, or your libido disappears. That antidepressant numbs the lows —but it also numbs your joy. Constipation begins.

Sleep feels fake. You feel… off.

So what’s the next step?

Another pill gets added — this time for the side effect. And then another….and another. One becomes three. Three become six. Six becomes ten.

Suddenly, you’re juggling meds for:

• Sleep

• Digestion

• Pain

• Cholesterol

• Depression

• Inflammation

• And to “correct” what the others messed up

And your liver? Your kidneys? Your gut lining? Your nervous system? They’re not thanking you. They’re begging for relief. Not more pills. This is not healing. It’s symptom suppression — and it comes at a cost. Most people are never told the full story.

How Polypharmacy Destroys Health

Fast forward to World War II — when the U.S. was secretly experimenting with chemical agents, a leaked ship carrying mustard gas exploded in Italy, exposing hundreds of soldiers and civilians. The aftermath revealed the gas's profound effect on lymphoid tissue.

That observation led researchers at Yale to test nitrogen mustard on mice with lymphoma — and tumors shrank. Thus, the first modern chemotherapy drug was born — not from medical discovery — but from warfare chemicals repurposed to treat cancer.

Mustard gas wasn’t the only war-era toxin converted into treatment. Several chemotherapy agents still used today (like cyclophosphamide and cisplatin) trace back to military-grade toxins or industrial waste chemicals — not healing substances.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬?

Even in the early 1900s, cancer was still extremely rare. It wasn’t until industrial toxins, pesticides, synthetic hormones, pharmaceuticals, and processed foods flooded the world that cancer exploded. Instead of asking why cancer was increasing, medicine focused only on how to attack it.

Rather than looking at:

• The immune system

• The mitochondria

• The lymphatic system

• The gut-brain axis

• The emotional terrain

…it was reduced to a war metaphor — a tumor to be bombed and poisoned into submission.

The same terrain that had allowed cancer to develop was ignored.

The shift from terrain-based medicine (used for centuries) to symptom suppression wasn’t scientific advancement — it was industrial ideology. The body became a battlefield, not an ecosystem.

But let’s take a step back. The sun is a vital part of our natural world—without it, life on Earth simply wouldn’t exist. Since the beginning of human history, we’ve lived under its light. Our bodies are actually designed to benefit from sunlight, and regular exposure is essential for maintaining good health.

Benefits of Sunlight

Sunlight helps regulate the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm).

The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays trigger the skin to produce vitamin D, a crucial nutrient for bone health, calcium absorption, and immune function. Vitamin D also plays a role in regulating blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Sunlight stimulates the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood. Increased serotonin levels can improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression, and promote a sense of well-being. Sunlight can also help improve symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Otherwise known as the winter blues.

Some research suggests that sunlight may help improve skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Sunlight exposure may also lower blood pressure by stimulating the release of nitric oxide.

Danger Zone

According to scientists, our sun has become increasingly harmful to us due to a thinning of the Earth’s ozone layer.

Scientists say this layer naturally filters out harmful UV rays, and its depletion, primarily caused by ozone-depleting substances like CFCs, means more UV radiation reaches us, increasing the risk of skin cancer, cataracts, and other health problems.

Now, I cannot confidently say whether this is true or false, as there is a lot of speculation these days surrounding these subjects. But instead of debating this subject we are going to look at history and nature to tell us a story.

What Nature Teaches Us

Step outside in the early morning and you’ll see the world come alive—the sun rising gently, birds singing, squirrels darting about. It’s a peaceful, vibrant time when nature seems to thrive.

If you’re observant, you might notice deer grazing quietly at dawn or rabbits nibbling on grass in your backyard. Animals instinctively take advantage of the morning sunlight, when it’s soft, warm, and energizing.

But have you ever noticed how still and quiet the natural world becomes around midday? Between roughly 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., most creatures seem to vanish. That’s no coincidence—this window lines up with the time of day when UVB radiation from the sun is at its most intense. And since animals are deeply attuned to their environment, their behavior tells us something important.

Nature isn’t the only teacher here. History also has a lesson to offer.

If we look at how ancient human cultures lived, we find similar patterns. Many civilizations—particularly in hot climates—built their days around the rhythm of the sun. Midday often meant rest, shade, or reduced activity. In some cultures, this tradition lives on today as the “siesta,” a midday pause designed to avoid the hottest hours and preserve energy.

In traditional African communities and elsewhere, taking a break at noon wasn’t about fearing the sun—it was about working with nature, not against it.

So what can we gather from all this? Animals, ancient societies, and even some modern communities avoid the peak sun hours—not out of fear of disease, but likely as a practical response to the heat. They sought shade, not because they thought the sun was harmful, but because they respected its power.

Historical cases

Cancers, specifically tumors, have been documented all the way back to the time of the ancient Egyptians, but skin cancer specifically, wasn’t documented until 1804 when scientific oncology proliferated with the introduction of the modern microscope. René Laennec a French physician at the time, made the first description of melanoma in 1804.

Now, what makes this interesting is that a cancer such as melanoma is known to spread rapidly. These obvious skin changes would have been noticed and documented, especially if it occurred not long before death. In fact, most skin cancers are noticeable and change color, texture, etc. And because our ancient ancestors weren’t stupid, it seems likely that if this was occurring, it would have been documented.

What Changed

Around the same time we find the first skin cancer being documented, butter and animal fats we’re being replaced for a cheaper, more shelf stable replacement—seed oils.

In the late 1700s—early 1800s the invention of mechanical oil presses revolutionized the mass production of industrial seed oils like rapeseed oil (canola oil). This oil was followed by the creation of flax, sesame, and cottonseed oils, with cotton seed, becoming one of the most popular.

By the mid-1800s, scientists began to adopt the use of solvents derived from crude oil, such as petroleum ether and hexane, to facilitate more efficient extraction of seed oils. This innovation boosted yield and broadened the applications of seed oils in industrial settings.

Thanks to the invention of the cotton gin, by the late 1800s, cotton production was booming, despite one major nuisance to producers. Cotton production resulted in the buildup of unusable, toxic waste from cotton seeds. With the help of new technology, the duo was eventually able to transform (or partially hydrogenate) liquid cottonseed oil into a solid fat that was creamy and butter-like.

In reference to cottonseed oil, the magazine Popular Science wrote: “What was garbage in 1860 was fertilizer in 1870, cattle feed in 1880, and table food and many things else in 1890.”

By the 1950s, seed oils were a staple in every home and strangely around this same time, we find a huge increase in skin cancer cases.

Today, seed oils have become a popular ingredient for almost all food products. We are told that seed oils are the healthier option to animal fats because they are high in unsaturated fat, but are they really?

The Hidden Danger

Linoleic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid that humans must obtain through their diet. It is a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in various nuts and seeds, but is also found within meat, eggs and dairy products.

Nuts and seeds are naturally high in linoleic acid. To give you an example, one tablespoon of sunflower seeds is 3 grams of linoleic acid and a half-ounce serving of pecans, nearly 3 grams of linoleic acid. As where something such as venison meat contains around 0.4 grams of linoleic acid.

In nature, it is extremely hard to find foods that are high in linoleic acid, aside from seeds and nuts. The Hansa tribe of Tanzania for example, who still live a primitive lifestyle eating meat, fruit, plants and honey, consume a diet that contains less than 2% linoleic acid.

NIH research recommends a daily limit for linoleic acid at— 12 grams per day for women and 17 grams per day for men. Obviously a little higher than a true hunter gatherer diet, but still within reasonable range.

Here’s where the problem begins…

Most modern humans are consuming extremely high amounts of linoleic acid on a daily basis. Way higher than we ever have before in all of human history, and this is solely due to the consumption of seed oils.

A good example is something like corn oil, which is used in many restaurants for frying. If you eat 3 tablespoons of corn oil, you would have to consume 65 ears of corn to be comparable. No human could ever sit down and eat this amount of corn. You would vomit before finishing.

The high consumption of foods that we wouldn’t have been consuming naturally, is what’s destroying our bodies, from the inside out.

Skin Cancer Connection

Aside from being linked to many other health disorders like heart disease and insulin resistance, high intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), like linoleic acid in particular, has been linked to increased melanoma risk. Yet, a high intake of fat and of fish (which we are told to avoid) rich in n-3 fatty acids, has been associated with reduced risk of the disease.

Sunlight contains UV rays, which is ultraviolet radiation needed to produce vitamin D, but it also causes lipid peroxidation, which damages skin cells and our DNA. But UV rays cannot initiate lipid peroxidation without a catalyst, which is seed oil.

In fact, the degree of skin damage can be measured by the amount of lipid peroxidation present in the skin. The higher your consumption of seed oils, the higher your risks of melanoma and skin cancer.

Laboratory studies have reported toxic effects of fatty acids such as linoleic and arachidonic acid on cell types such as leukemia cells, human endothelial cells, and murine and human melanoma cell lines. Administration of linoleic acid resulted in increased epidermal oxidative damage, leading to accumulated mutations and increased risk of skin cancer, especially melanoma.

Humans sensitivity to sunlight hasn’t changed because of the ozone and UV rays. It changed for two reasons. First is less sun exposure. Modern humans are not outdoors all day every day, like we used to be, and this does indeed affect how the skin reacts to the sun. The second reason is because of our Standard American Diet (SAD), which is full of toxic oils and synthetic ingredients.

Avoiding UV rays is not the solution to avoiding cancer. In fact, your risks of skin cancer actually increase with less sun exposure, not decreases.

Oils You’ll Want to Avoid

Here are the main offenders, and it’s best to steer clear of them:

• Canola oil (also known as rapeseed oil)

• Corn oil

• Cottonseed oil

• Grapeseed oil

• Soybean oil

• Sunflower oil

• Safflower oil

• Rice bran oil

• Peanut oil

I strongly advise avoiding these oils altogether, as well as any processed foods that contain them. They’re commonly used in packaged snacks, fast food, and even many items labeled as “healthy.”

Now, what about popular alternatives like avocado oil, olive oil, or coconut oil? They’re not seed oils, so they must be better for you—right?

Well, yes and no.

Of the three, coconut oil stands out as the best choice. It’s naturally low in linoleic acid—only about 2%—making it a safer and more stable option for cooking. Avocado and olive oil can still be healthier than seed oils in general, but depending on how they’re processed, their linoleic acid content can vary.

So when in doubt, reach for coconut oil first—and be mindful of the oils hiding in your everyday foods.

Olive Oil: 8—12% linoleic acid

When it comes to olive oil, we find a few things that could be concerning. First, many olive oil brands are diluted with other harmful seed oils. Second, most olive oil produced today goes through a refining process (which wasn’t being done historically) and this affects the purity of the finished oil.

Lastly, like many other seed oils, olives can’t be consumed by the pounds, and it would take something like 5 lbs of olives to get 3 tablespoons of oil. Now, with this being said, ancient cultures throughout the Mediterranean consumed olive oil quite often. But this oil was made by pressing the olives, and extracting the excess oil. And because olive oil was considered a delicacy, it also wasn’t being overconsumed in the way we use olive oil today.

Personally, I think if you’re able to find a good quality, cold-pressed organic olive oil, it would be fine to use in moderation. Overdoing, however could eventually become problematic.

Coconut Oil: 2% linoleic acid

Coconut oil has the lowest amount of linoleic acid out of all the oils, so this alone makes it a healthier option. Now the only thing that could be concerning again, is the amount consumed.

It takes around 3 coconuts to make 3 tablespoons of oil. And technically, it could be possible that a human could sit and eat three coconuts. But this would be pushing it and most likely the maximum they could consume. This means anything more than 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, would be unnatural for your body.

I think it’s safe to say that this is certainly a healthier option than any of the seed oils.

Animal Fats & Butter

Animal fat was the oil of our ancestors. The oldest records of animal fats being used for cooking dates back to around 500,000 years ago, and potentially as early as 1 million years.

In ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, we find documented use of specific animal fats like lard (pig fat) and tallow (beef fat), which were commonly used for frying, food preservation, and in the production of candles and soap.

In the mid-20th century, research began to associate high saturated fat intake, often found in animal fats, with an increased risk of heart disease. This led to a public health focus on reducing saturated fat consumption.

Experts say that animal fats are high in saturated fats, which can raise LDL cholesterol, often called “bad” cholesterol which is often linked to heart disease. But is the rise and heart disease really linked to animal fats or could it be a result of the seed oils?

The intake of omega-6 vegetable oils, particularly soybean oil, began to increase in the USA starting in the early 1900s at a time when the consumption of butter and lard was on the decline.

This caused a more than two-fold increase in the intake of linoleic acid, the main omega-6 polyunsaturated fat found in vegetable oils, which now makes up around 8% to 10% of total energy intake in the Western world. The amount of linoleic acid in adipose tissue, but also in platelets, is additionally positively associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). This evidence supports the notion that it is not animal fats increasing the risk of heart disease and skin cancer, it is the seed oils and linoleic acid.

But don’t animals contain linoleic acid as well? And should we be concerned about these levels?

Yes they do, and there are some factors to consider.

Omega-6 fat linoleic acid should not be confused with conjugated linoleic acid found in pastured animals. Ruminants, have enzymes in their digestive system that convert the omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid to CLA.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), is a healthy trans fat related to linoleic acid, and is found naturally in the meat and dairy products of ruminant animals like cows, sheep, goats and deer. CLA has been linked to various potential health benefits, including weight loss, reduced inflammation, and improved bone density.

The diet of the animal however significantly impacts the CLA content in their meat. Grass-fed animals or those raised on pastures, tend to have higher CLA concentrations compared to those fed grain or other concentrates.

Studies have reported that grass-fed beef showed 62% lower fat content, 65% lower SFA, and greater concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) compared to grain-fed beef.

Non-ruminant animals however, like humans, pigs and chickens, do not have the same ruminal bacteria and therefore cannot synthesize CLA directly from linoleic acid. This means, when our diet is too high in linolic acid, it builds up in the system, eventually causing health issues.

Cooking does not affect the fatty acid profile, therefore, if we eat meat that is high in linolic acid, we are still consuming it in high unnatural amounts.

Let’s take beef as an example. A cow raised on open pasture and allowed to graze naturally—eating grass, herbs, and other forage—will have a much lower amount of linoleic acid in its fat, typically around 1-2%. That’s because its diet is what cows are biologically designed to eat: grass and plants low in linoleic acid.

Now compare that to a conventionally farmed cow, which is often fed a diet heavy in corn, soy, and other processed feed to speed up growth. This unnatural, grain-heavy diet dramatically raises the linoleic acid content in the meat—often to 4-5% or higher. These are not foods a cow would choose in the wild, and the difference shows in the nutritional quality of the meat.

Let’s take a look at the linoleic acid content in some of these animal fats.

Butter: 1%—2% linoleic acid

Grass-fed butter: less than 1%

Beef tallow: 1—4 % linoleic acid

Grass-fed beef tallow: 1% linoleic acid

Bison tallow: 1%—3% linoleic acid

Pork lard: 11%—14% linoleic acid

It is easy to see that grass-fed and pasture raised animals have a lower content of linoleic acid compared to farmed animals. We also see the huge increase when we get to pork, and this is because, again, non-ruminant animals cannot synthesize linoleic acid.

Evidence here shows that animal fats are certainly the healthier alternative to seed oils. After thousands of years of use, they only became bad for us after the creation of seed oils. Go figure.

With this being said, choose your animal fat wisely. Grass fed is going to be the healthiest option, but sticking with ruminate fats such as tallow and butter is going to be better than using lard, unless you are sourcing from a wild hog.

Final Thought

Judging from my extensive research, seed oils are one of the main culprits to the skin cancer pandemic and one of the contributing factors to the health crisis we face here in the united states (sources below).

Do yourself and your family a favor and start replacing the seed oils for healthier options like coconut oil or animal fats. Purchase grass-fed if possible and avoid pork lard unless it’s from a wild hog or has been pasture raised. Eliminate products that contain seed oils such as salad dressings, cereals, snacks etc. And be picky about the ingredients. Give up these unnatural foods that your ancestors wouldn’t have eaten.

Lastly, avoid toxic sunscreens which have also been linked to skin cancer. If you feel the need to use any, purchase a natural product, made from minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Making these mindful changes may require some effort initially, but the long-term benefits are well worth it. Remember, small consistent choices can lead to significant improvements—your body will thank you for prioritizing real, nourishing foods over processed and potentially toxic seed oils.

So why are we, with all our modern medicine, technology, and health awareness, the sickest generation in history?

Because the system is rigged. The food is poisoned with additives, seed oils, and synthetic ingredients that disrupt our bodies. The air is polluted with toxins we breathe every single day. And the medicine? It’s no longer about healing. It has become a lifelong subscription that manages symptoms instead of addressing root causes.

Modern living has replaced nutrients with chemicals, sunlight with screens, and natural movement with artificial convenience. Our bodies are inflamed, our minds are fogged, and our health is declining fast.

This isn't just happening by chance. It's intentional. And it’s time we face how the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the medicine we rely on are quietly destroying us.

Here’s how modern living is poisoning you

In the 1950s, your grandfather drank milk straight from the farm—unprocessed, full of nutrients, and untouched by chemicals. Your grandmother cooked every meal with real butter, not margarine or seed oils. They ate whole foods, lived active lives, and stayed healthy well into old age without counting calories or fearing fat.

And despite all the health labels and fitness trends, we're facing record levels of chronic disease, obesity, and mental health issues.

So what changed? Our food, our environment, and our mindset.

Back then, physical activity was part of daily life.

• People worked physical jobs—farmers, builders, factory workers

• Kids walked to school, played outside, and weren’t raised as iPad kids

• Schools made physical activity a priority, not a privilege

Now? We’ve glorified convenience, medicalized inactivity, and turned obesity into a protected identity.

The food? It was re-engineered.

• Real butter demonized, replaced with cheap, processed margarine

• Whole grains replaced with refined, bleached flour

• Natural sweetness replaced with artificial sugars and chemicals

Health was the marketing, profit was the plan.

Before the 1970s, food was grown on farms. It came from the earth, tended by hands that knew the seasons, the soil, and the value of real nourishment. Families ate what was local, fresh, and recognizable. Meals were cooked from scratch, and ingredients had names you could pronounce.

But by the 2000s, food had become something else entirely—manufactured, processed, and packaged in factories.

Factory farms began churning out cheap meat, pumped full of hormones, antibiotics, and raised in inhumane conditions. Processed foods took over grocery shelves, loaded with preservatives, artificial flavors, seed oils, and addictive additives engineered to keep us craving more. Fresh, wholesome ingredients were pushed aside for synthetic imitations designed for shelf life, not health.

We traded nutrition for convenience. We chose speed over quality, marketing over wisdom. And our health has been in steady decline ever since.

There was a time when dinner simmered on the stove, made with real ingredients, time, and love. Meals were a daily ritual—home-cooked, shared with family, and rooted in tradition. The kitchen was the heart of the home, and food was nourishment, not just fuel.

But by the 2000s, everything changed. Dinner started arriving in paper bags, plastic trays, and greasy drive-thru wrappers. Fast food became the norm, not the exception. Frozen dinners replaced family recipes, and microwaves took the place of stovetops.

Convenience replaced quality, turning food into a commodity and a multi-billion-dollar business. Eating stopped being about health and more about speed, profits, and addiction.

Big Pharma’s flu products are highly toxic, however, and their number 1 product is the flu shot, which can injure, cripple, or kill you.

In just this year alone, 2024, over 6,000 cases of adverse effects from the flu shots have been filed with VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System), including 52 deaths, 70 life threatening adverse reactions, 80 permanent disabilities, 285 hospitalizations, and 666 ER visits. (Source – From the 11/29/2024 release of VAERS data.)

Human beings have been fighting flu-like illnesses for thousands of years before modern-day western medicine started producing vaccines and pharmaceutical products, and the body of research showing how much more effective natural, non-patentable remedies are for fighting the flu is very large.

Health Impact News has been covering this topic for nearly two decades, consistently highlighting natural flu remedies that many have found far more effective than vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs. Based on years of documentation and reader feedback, here are some of the top solutions people rely on to successfully fight the flu.

Vitamin D Supplementation

Vitamin D is one of the most potent supplements to stop flu symptoms in their track. It is well researched, which makes it a constant target by Big Pharma to try and suppress this research, as it would seriously put a dent into the sale and distribution of flu shots, as Vitamin D supplements can be purchased almost anywhere and does not need a doctor’s prescription.

The best source of Vitamin D is direct sunlight, which is why Vitamin D supplementation can have dramatic effects during the short winter days where sunlight exposure is the most limited.
