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.

Your Supplement Choices — Going, Going, Gone!
How a new proposal will replace the supplements you rely on with standardized, low-quality, one-size-fits all products. Action Alert! Imagine walking into your favorite store or doctor’s office to buy supplements. Instead of seeing a rich variety of products with various forms and dosages of vitamins and minerals, you see a few basic products, many of which do not fit your needs because the dosages are too low or the ingredients you need are not available.

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.
