Genetically Engineered Hens Made to Kill Their Own Chicks
One of the atrocities of industrialized agriculture is the egg industry’s killing of male chicks. Each year, more than 6 billion male chicks are killed worldwide, up to 300 million of them in the U.S.1 The reasoning behind this abhorrent practice is at the root of what is wrong with corporate agriculture — egg-laying hens are bred to lay eggs, and nothing more. Because males cannot produce eggs, and don’t grow enough meat to make them useful for human consumption (as opposed to broiler chickens, bred to grow unnaturally large), they would cost more to raise than they would be…
FDA Making COVID Vax Decision Based on a Study of 10
May 23, 2022, Pfizer-BioNTech1 announced preliminary results from their Phase 2/3 trial evaluating a three-dose vaccine schedule for children 6 months to under 5 years of age would be submitted to the FDA for emergency use authorization (EUA). Many in mainstream media are hailing this development as important to children’s health, writing, "many parents of these very young children have been really anxious to get their kids vaccinated"2 and "Parents hoping to get their youngest children vaccinated against COVID-19 got some encouraging news Monday."3 Yet, despite the continued push by mainstream media to encourage parents to vaccinate the very young,…
Nutrients and Supplements That Can Improve Your Sleep Quality
This article was previously published July 5, 2018, and has been updated with new information. If you intend to live a long and healthy life, sleep needs to be a priority. Anyone struggling with chronic disease — which is at least half the adult population in the U.S. — would be wise to take heed, as sleep cannot only contribute to the problem but also counteract any healthy lifestyle strategies you’re using to address it. As a general guideline, seek to get right around eight hours of sleep every night. Anything below seven hours really starts to impact your health…
The Top 10 Scariest Things to Come Out of the WEF
If you’re not familiar with the World Economic Forum (WEF), prepare to be astounded. This international organization is run by German engineer and WEF founder Klaus Schwab and other members of the technocratic elite. Their mission is to do away with the democratic process and give all ownership and control to the deep state. If this sounds far-fetched, like a conspiracy theory, you’ll be surprised to know that WEF doesn’t hide their agenda. On the contrary, they openly share it and promote it to the world, as if it’s inevitable that their plan for a Great Reset will one day…
The Countless Health Benefits of Curcumin
Interest in curcumin is growing as the discovery of new delivery systems increases the bioavailability of the compound.1 Curcumin is the major biologically active polyphenolic compound of turmeric. Turmeric has long been used in Indian cuisine and medicinal use in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine.2 Curcumin is the compound that gives turmeric its yellow color. Studies have suggested that curcumin is a powerful ally in the treatment of several conditions, such as mood disorders and pain control. Importantly, curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier3 and has potent neuroprotective properties, which suggests it could be useful for neurodegenerative disorders. The…
Understanding Your Liver Health
This article was previously published April 8, 2019, and has been updated with new information. Your liver weighs a little over 3 pounds and is located on the right side of your abdomen. Reddish brown in color, it's rubbery to the touch and protected by your rib cage.1 Your liver is the largest solid organ and one of the largest glands in your body, carrying out over 500 essential tasks to maintain optimal health.2 One of the main jobs of the organ is to process and purify blood coming from the hepatic artery and the hepatic portal vein. The liver…
Preparing for the Reality of Financial Collapse
While many still refuse to believe it, financial experts and insiders have long warned that a collapse of the U.S. currency is a mathematical inevitability.1,2 The most surprising thing, really, is that it has lasted this long. The same can be said for the financial system of the world as a whole. Collapse Predictions Go Back More Than a Decade In 2011, Business Insider warned “the dollar collapse will be the single largest event in human history,” touching “every single living person in the world.”3 They also warned that “The collapse of currencies will lead to the collapse of ALL…
It’s Now Crucial to Understand What We’re Up Against
Patrick Wood, a repeat guest, has spent decades studying technocracy — an invented economic system that the global cabal is currently trying to implement worldwide. He was recently interviewed by The Defender, the Children's Health Defense newsletter. You will find that interview below. I would actually encourage you to watch that one first, because it provides a really good background of Wood and his work. This conversation also ties in with an interview I recently did with professor Mattias Desmet, author of "The Psychology of Totalitarianism," which will air in a few weeks, so be sure to keep an eye…
Fermented Foods May Be a Key Component of an Anticancer Menu
This article was previously published February 13, 2017, and has been updated with new information. Slowly but surely, scientists are increasingly starting to focus on the influence of nutrition on cancer. Mounting evidence supports the notion that a diet high in healthy fats and low in net carbohydrates (total carbs minus fiber, i.e., nonfiber carbs) may significantly lower your risk by improving mitochondrial and metabolic function. Fermented foods are also gaining recognition as an important anticancer adjunct. The beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods have been shown particularly effective for suppressing colon cancer, but may also inhibit cancers of the…
Are You Prepared for the Coming Food Catastrophe?
Across the world, experts and analysts are now warning of skyrocketing food prices and catastrophic food shortages. In mid-May 2022, United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said the world is facing years of famine, and urged Russia to “permit the safe and secure export of grain stored in Ukrainian ports” to ease shortages.1,2 Blame for this global food shortage is, officially, being laid at the feet of “climate change,” the COVID pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.3 But while all of those have played their role, other factors are also contributing to bring our food system to the breaking point. Death by…
Sleep Like a Baby and Slash Stress, Anxiety and Depression
This article was previously published June 13, 2019, and has been updated with new information. Known as a multipurpose herb and "rejuvenator" used in ancient Ayurvedic1 and Chinese medicine for thousands of years, ashwagandha2 (Withania somnifera) is a plant native to India with a host of bioactive functions. Ashwagandha is one of the few true adaptogenic herbs that helps your body adapt to stress3 by balancing your immune system,4 metabolism and hormonal systems.5 As noted in the medical review, "Scientific Basis for the Therapeutic Use of Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha)":6 "Studies indicate ashwagandha possesses anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antistress, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hemopoietic, and…
Do You Know the Difference Between Salt and Sodium?
Did you know that salt and sodium are not the same things? The distinction is important since for decades doctors have recommended patients limit their salt intake.1 According to a historical report in Scientific American,2 it was 1904 when doctors in France first reported that patients with high blood pressure consumed a lot of salt. In 1970, Lewis Dahl claimed he had “unequivocal” evidence that salt was linked to high blood pressure based on an animal study. When the amount of salt fed to the animals was scaled to size, it was equal to humans consuming 500 grams of sodium…
NY Times Runs Another Hit Piece on Dr. Mercola
The New York Times (NYT) was once upon a time the gold standard of the American free press, lovingly known as the “Gray Lady” — a nod to its fearlessly honest and impartial reporting of “all the news that’s fit to print.” Those days are long gone, however. As noted by Ashley Rindsberg in his book, “The Gray Lady Winked: How the New York Times’ Misreporting, Distortions & Fabrications Radically Altered History,”1,2 its founding vision and principles have radically devolved over the generations, and “the costs of the Times’ habitual and intentional misreporting over the past century are incalculably high.”3…
Resistance — Not All Germs Are Created Equal
This article was previously published June 9, 2018, and has been updated with new information. Antibiotic resistance has become a major threat to public health worldwide, and the primary cause for this man-made epidemic is the widespread misuse of antibiotics — drugs used to combat bacterial infections in humans and animals. Over the decades, antibiotics have been widely overprescribed for infections that don't respond well, or at all, to these drugs. Viral infections, for example, cannot be treated with antibiotics since they only kill bacteria, yet many of you have likely taken a course of antibiotics for an ear infection…
Many Pathologists Agree Skin Cancer Is Overdiagnosed
Data published in JAMA Dermatology in April 2022 revealed that nearly two-thirds of dermatopathologists believe that skin cancer is overdiagnosed.1 According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD),2 skin cancer will affect 1 in 5 Americans in their lifetime, making it one of the most common cancers diagnosed in the U.S. According to the AAD, exposure to UV radiation from sunlight or tanning beds can increase the risk of developing certain types of skin cancer, especially when a person has five or more blistering sunburns at an early age, from 15 to 20 years. This can increase melanoma risk by…
Research Confirms Statins Are a Colossal Waste of Money
This article was previously published December 8, 2021, and has been updated with new information. The lecturer in the featured video, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., produced the 2014 Australian Catalyst documentary, "Heart of the Matter: Dietary Villains," which exposed the cholesterol/saturated fat myths behind the statin fad and the financial links which lurk underneath. The documentary was so thorough that vested interests actually convinced ABC TV to rescind the two-part series.1 The Australian Heart Foundation, the three largest statin makers (Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Merck Sharp & Dohme) and Medicines Australia, Australia's drug lobby group, complained2 and got the documentary expunged from…
Science-Backed Ways to Improve Your Mood
In Gallup's 2022 Mood of the Nation survey, only 69% of Americans said they were very or somewhat satisfied with their overall quality of life — down from 84% in January 2020.1 It's safe to say that many people could use a mood boost, and there are science-backed ways to do so, many of which involve movement. It's well known that exercise provides benefits to mood, positively affecting anxiety, stress and depression. Physical activity influences your mental health via a number of physiological and biochemical mechanisms, including effects on endorphins, mitochondria, neurotransmitters and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis,2 which may play a…
Scientism, Not Science, Rules the Roost
Science has long been regarded as a stronghold of logic and reason. Scientists don’t draw conclusions based on emotions, feelings or sheer faith. It’s all about building a body of reproducible evidence. Well, that’s what it used to be, but as technocracy and transhumanism have risen to the fore, it has brought with it its own form of science — “scientism” — which is basically the religion of science. Sheldon Richman with The Libertarian Institute writes:1 “The popular slogan today is ‘Believe in science.’ It’s often used as a weapon against people who reject not science in principle but rather…
Toxic To-Go Containers Linked to Liver Disease
Fluorinated chemicals known as polyfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFASs), which include PFOA and PFOS, can be found in most Americans.1 The widely used chemicals have been added to industry and consumer products since the 1940s, but while PFOA and PFOS have been phased out in the U.S. due to their toxic properties, other PFAS are still in use. Because the chemicals break down very slowly in the environment, they've been dubbed "forever chemicals," and there's concern that exposure to these toxins may be a significant contributor to liver disease, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).2 Liver Disease Is a Public…
Accumulating Body Flab as You Age? Help Stop It With This
This article was previously published April 8, 2019, and has been updated with new information. In 2018, James DiNicolantonio, co-author of my book, "Superfuel," published a groundbreaking paper,1 "Antioxidant Bilirubin Works in Multiple Ways to Reduce Risk for Obesity and Its Health Complications." Bilirubin is a breakdown product of red blood cells (heme) and the chemical responsible for the yellow color of bruises, urine and jaundice. In that paper, DiNicolantonio explains how bilirubin inhibits NADPH oxidase (typically abbreviated as NOX) — a metabolic enzyme activated in a large number of pathological conditions that generates a great deal of oxidative stress…
WHO and WEF Globalists Coordinate Their Global ‘Reset’
Each year, the world’s elite hop into their private jets and descend upon Davos, Switzerland, the location of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual Davos Forum. Here, the self-proclaimed ruling class spend the week discussing their visions of the future and how to impose their ambitions on the rest of the world.1 As explained by Fox News anchor Jesse Watters, participants are divided into clear classes even there. Not only must you receive a personal invitation to attend, but once you’re there, your name badge will clearly illustrate which “elite class” or “subclass” you belong to. If you’re a sufficiently…
The Death of the Ministry of Truth — What Will They Do Next?
April 6 through April 8, 2022, the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics and The Atlantic magazine cohosted a conference titled “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy.”1 The three-day event explored “the organized spread of disinformation and strategies to respond to it.” Speakers included former President Barack Obama, columnist Jonah Goldberg, Marxist history expert Anne Elizabeth Applebaum and CNN anchor Brian Stelter, just to name a few. But, as noted by Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson (video above), what they didn’t count on was the fact that not everyone has been brainwashed into oblivion. Some college students still have mental…
Monkeypox Mania
This article was originally published here. Lock yourselves down inside your homes! Break out the masks and prophylactic face-shields! Switch off what’s left of your critical faculties and prepare yourselves to “follow the Science!” Yes, that’s right, just as the survivors of The Simulated Apocalyptic Plague of 2020-2021 were crawling up out of their Covid bunkers and starting to “build the world back better,” another biblical pestilence has apparently been unleashed on humanity! This time it’s the dreaded monkeypox, a viral zoonotic disease endemic to central and western Africa that circulates among giant pouched rats, squirrels, dormice, and other rodents…
AHA Renders Itself Obsolete With Long-Refuted Dietary Advice
This article was previously published July 5, 2017, and has been updated with new information. For well over half-century, a majority of health care officials and media have warned that saturated fats are bad for your health and lead to obesity, high cholesterol and heart disease. The American Heart Association (AHA) began encouraging Americans to limit dietary fat in general and saturated fats in particular as far back as 1961. Like its previously revised version, the current version of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food pyramid, called "MyPlate,"1 more or less eliminates fats altogether, with the exception of a small…
The War Against the Unvaxxed Will Not Be Forgotten
Fomenting hatred is a tool of tyrants, and over the past two years, political leaders, agency heads, academics, medical professionals and media personalities alike have publicly encouraged hatred and violence and wished painful death upon anyone who didn’t want to be part of the medical experiment that is the COVID jabs. In an eloquent Medium post, journalist Susan Dunham summarizes the lessons (hopefully) learned from hating and attacking the unvaccinated:1 “The mandates have let up, and both sides stumble back into something that looks like the old normal — except that there is a fresh and present injury done to…
Can Ginseng Help Curb Diabetes?
Diabetes has become a “formidable challenge for public health,” with 463 million adults affected with Type 2 diabetes worldwide. This number is expected to jump to 700 million by 2045 and doesn’t account for the many others who have prediabetes, which increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.1 If left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to serious complications that can damage the eyes, kidneys and nerves, while increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and limb amputations.2 Inactivity and poor diet are fueling the diabetes crisis, causing people to develop the condition at younger ages. Diets focused on ultraprocessed foods…
We’re Now in the Last Stage of a Tyrannical Takeover
Repeat guest Naomi Wolf is the author of “The End of America,” published in 2007, and “The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, COVID-19 and the War Against the Human,” which was released at the end of May 2022. In our previous interview, we discussed how “The End of America” dovetailed with current pandemic events. (You can download the first and last chapters for free on the publisher’s website, chelseagreen.com.1) Here, we review what lies ahead if we don’t challenge and stand firm against the global control agenda. It’s really important to realize that the progression toward tyranny and loss…
Why Managing Your Iron Level Is Crucial to Your Health
This article was previously published May 31, 2017, and has been updated with new information. Iron is essential for human life, as it:1 Forms hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells), which carries oxygen to all the cells in your body Is a key component of myoglobin, a protein that stores oxygen in muscle tissue Helps regulate cell growth and differentiation, including healthy brain development in children Helps maintain your metabolism2 and endocrine function3 Is involved in energy production and immune function4 Having either too much or too little iron can have serious health consequences and, while iron-deficiency anemia is…
Why Is Switzerland the Headquarters of Emperors?
Switzerland is supposed to be a neutral country, but serves as the banking epicenter for the mega-rich. It’s also home to the global and regional headquarters of more than 850 international companies, including Biogen, Caterpillar, Dow, DuPont, Google, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Mondelez, Procter & Gamble and more.1 Each year, the world’s elite also hop into their private jets and descend upon Davos, Switzerland, a city known for its luxury ski resorts, as it’s the location of the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, also known as the Davos Forum. It seems something shady is flowing through Switzerland, which has…
100% of Oat Products Tested Positive for Glyphosate
This article was previously published February 19, 2019, and has been updated with new information. Oat-based foods, such as oatmeal, cereals and bread, are considered by many to be a healthy dietary addition, but if you eat such foods know that you're probably getting herbicide residues along with them. In testing done by Friends of the Earth (FOE), 100% of oat cereal samples tested positive for residues of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide.1 While there are multiple reasons to reconsider the health value of oats, including their lectin content, the rampant use of glyphosate on this crop as…
