While the chances of being bitten by a venomous snake are low, safety is still a concern for anyone who could potentially encounter one of these reptiles. As most people live in an area with at least one venomous species, knowing what to do if bitten is a vital skill. Read more.

Bayer, Other Seed and Insecticide Companies Asked University Researchers to Omit Study’s Pictures, Results
Opposition to the use of insecticides (aka pesticides) is not new. Research proving they can be toxic isn’t new either (see 1, 2). While Bayer has been in the spotlight for trying to avoid compensating people who became sick from using its Roundup weedkiller, the company also seems to be complicit for trying to conceal risks associated with its insecticides. It wasn’t alone. Read more.
Why Does Science Still Ignore Vitamin C?
For more than 20 years, Dr. Harri Hemilä, biochemist, physician and epidemiologist, has been analyzing research conducted with vitamin C. In 2017, ORTHO magazine had an interview with him. [1] At that time, the interest in vitamin C was mainly about the common cold. Now it also concerns another virus infection, Covid-19. Has anything changed since then? The near-total lack of interest within medical science for vitamin C still exists. And apparently, medical professors don’t give a damn about the vitamin, as if it were a career killer. Read more.
FDA Severely Limits Use of J&J Covid Shot
Use of Johnson and Johnson’s (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine should only be limited to certain adults, the FDA said on Thursday. Due to an updated analysis of the rare cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), which typically occur 1 to 2 weeks after vaccination, use of the J&J vaccine should be restricted to those for whom mRNA vaccines are “not accessible or clinically appropriate,” or who would not get vaccinated if not for the J&J vaccine, the agency said.

“Re-Education Camps” for Doctors?
Efforts are increasing to silence doctors who stray too far from the dictates of conventional medicine. Action Alerts! “More than 2 years into this pandemic, the largest threat next to the spread of the virus itself is the spread of disinformation and misinformation.” These words were spoken by the CEO of the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), Humayun Chaudhry, DO. The statement is emblematic of the wave of censorship that has been building since the beginning of the pandemic. It is also in line with other attempts at the federal level to gag free speech about natural treatments for COVID prevention and treatment. Read more.
Durbin: Don’t Take Our Sunshine Away!
The “sunny” days of Americans being able to regenerate health with vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, could be over. Action Alert! Last week, we detailed what we believe to be Sen. Durbin’s end game with regard to his new mandatory product listing bill for dietary supplements: the imposition of European-style restrictions on high-dose vitamins and minerals. For those who care about natural health, one of the most important threats is to high-dose vitamin D. Read more.
Study Reveals 126 Species of Fish Contaminated with “Cocktail of Pharmaceuticals”
While Americans have much to be concerned about in regard to Genetically Engineered (GE) Salmon (aka “Frankenfish”) (see 1, 2), it was also reported in 2020 that America’s water supply included unhealthy levels of chemicals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals that were significantly affecting fish. A more recent study confirms the same. Read more.
The Restoration of Vitamin C Synthesis in Humans
The full importance of vitamin C in reaching and maintaining optimal health remains largely unappreciated by most traditional health care practitioners. Certainly, it is widely appreciated that vitamin C is required to sustain life, and that its severe deficiency in the body reliably results in the development of scurvy, with death following shortly thereafter in the absence of new vitamin C intake. However, it is not widely appreciated that optimal human metabolism requires the assimilation of new multigram (macronutrient) quantities of vitamin C on a daily basis, not just 50 to 100 milligram (micronutrient) quantities.

How Did We End up Having a Baby Formula Shortage?
The United States is now facing a severe baby formula shortage and all the data only points to things getting worse. As of early April, approximately 30% of popular infant formula was out of stock at stores across the nation. CVS, Target, and Walgreens were some of the more noteworthy stores that began to ration baby food out at that time. This comes at a time shortly after Georgia has declared a state of emergency due to lack of supplies and Washington DC has began to advocate for the rationing of food. Read more.
India Supreme Court Supports Vaccination Choice
In March 2022, we were encouraged when a couple of good Samaritan lawyers filed various petitions in the Supreme Court of India requesting that vaccination should not be forced upon people and that the results of vaccine trials done in India should be made public. Based on this data, it should be a personal choice to get vaccinated, and using evidence, they proved in the court that vaccinated people were spreading infections just as much as non-vaccinated people. They also brought forth the argument that COVID vaccine had created some major challenges in people’s health because the vaccine trials were not extensive and Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) was given injudiciously.
