Posted April 8, 2021
Type 2 diabetes is one condition you can’t ignore.

Luckily, the condition can be prevented with some healthy lifestyle changes. But if you’re diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, know that it isn’t all your fault.

Experiments have repeatedly shown that humans subjected to mental or physical stress experience a rise in blood sugar levels.

A diabetes epidemic is ravaging our population, particularly communities of color, and we’re told it’s because of obesity and poor lifestyle choices. Here’s why that’s wrong. Action Alert! Diabetes affects more than 10 percent of the US population, while one-third of Americans are estimated to have pre-diabetes (which can lead to type 2 diabetes). The conventional wisdom is that an increase in obesity and poor diet choices are the main causes, but there is much more to the story.

Historic court case reveals that NO safety studies were conducted on any vaccine over thirty-two years, as was required by law
Posted March 26, 2021
The government has been lying about vaccine safety for over three decades. The second part of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was a more noble aspect of the law. This part required the vaccine companies to report to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Congress every two years, documenting vaccine safety studies and quality control improvements to their products. However, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Del Bigtree requested that the HHS provide these thirty-two years’ worth of vaccine safety studies, no response was given from the federal government. This prompted Kennedy and Bigtree to file a court order, requesting the documents. Read more.
