The pharmaceutical industry has a vested interest in keeping you sick, not just with cancer, diabetes, or high blood pressure, but with any type of mental illness they can create a category for. If you’re sad, you’ll get some fluorine loaded anti depressant, or if you’re anxious, they’ll throw you a valium or Xanax. And […]

Not all disgruntled employees urinate onto a conveyor belt. But at a Kellogg’s plant in Memphis, Tennessee, one man did. He decided to add a little extra liquid to the rice that would soon become those famous Rice Krispies Treats, Rice Krispies Treats Cereal and/or Puffed Rice Cake Products. But really, don’t the ingredients in these products already have enough sugar and carbohydrates? And it […]

Here we go again with glyphosate, that ubiquitous toxin used as Round Up’s primary ingredient. It’s infamous for the ability to kill weeds, along with all those beneficial micro organisms in the soil and in your gut. Oh, yeah, and without it, we can’t feed the world… Not true. Despite the sales pitches and propaganda that farmers will […]

Last Friday marked the fifth year anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, and radiation levels are still too high for both humans and robots. The remote controlled robots that were sent into the crippled nuclear reactors have died due to toxic levels of radiation, which tampered with their wiring. In March 2011, a massive 9.0 […]

I must say, I’m feeling a bit contrarian about the five alarm fires surrounding the discovery of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in the Honest Company’s laundry detergent. You may be familiar with Jessica Alba’s California company. It began in 2012 when the actress and health advocate discovered what most mothers are forced to reckon with following childbirth. The world is swathed by […]

Mental illness is one of the greatest epidemics of modern times and is on par with cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Instead of seeking a cure, however, Big Pharma treats mental illness as just another disease, which can be mitigated by mind altering drugs. Meanwhile, effective nutritional and environmental therapies for mental illness are ignored. […]

This Friday marks the five-year anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. In March 2011, a massive earthquake off the coast of Japan triggered a tsunami that crippled three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Although five years have passed since the debacle, no one is sure what long-term impact the Fukushima disaster will have […]

It is up to buyers to be very careful where their pot comes from and to check if growers have had their products tested for potency and pesticides. Marijuana is still an illegal schedule 1 drug in the U.S., and therefore official testing of marijuana for dangerous pesticides is in its infancy, even in states […]

New Jersey’s largest school district has shut off water fountains at 30 school buildings due to concerns over elevated lead levels. Meanwhile, Governor Chris Christie said that efforts to protect children already exposed to lead are being “overdramatized.” Newark Public School decided to temporarily turn off the fountains where elevated levels of lead were recorded, […]

Pharmaceutical companies have been trying to manufacture synthetic versions of cannabis for years. Recently, a Portuguese company named Bial produced a drug designed to treat anxiety and pain by blocking process by which the human body breaks down naturally-occurring cannabinoid compounds in the body. Biotrial, a French research organization, conducted the trial of the drug […]

Voters in Portland, Oregon, achieved a solid victory against the local government, after the former defeated a city-wide water fluoridation measure with 60% of the voters saying “NO!” to the practice of adding toxic fluoride chemicals to their water supply. While the defeat of the measure infuriated fluoride-pushing doctors and dentists, the result is a huge […]

Five years after the meltdown of Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant, three former top executives of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) have been indicted on charges of criminal negligence, according to The New York Times. “The three executives — Tsunehisa Katsumata, 75; Sakae Muto, 65 (no relation to Ruiko Muto); and Ichiro Takekuro, […]

Children exposed to lead-contaminated water in Flint, Michigan have an increased risk of aggressive crime later in life. That is at least what a population study published in the journal Environmental Health would seem to suggest, which found a link between aggressive crime and children exposed to lead particles in Australia. The researchers found that […]

Retail home improvement chain Lowe’s has announced that it will stop selling deadly pesticides suspected of causing colony collapse disorder (CCD) and the death of honeybees worldwide. The announcement follows the moratorium on permits for these pesticides sent out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At present, about two-thirds of the bee population worldwide is in domesticated hives. […]

A mysterious phenomenon has been plaguing the fertile Yakima Valley region of Washington. For years, a growing number of babies have been born with major birth defects, one of which is anencephaly, a particularly horrifying condition which causes babies to be born without much of their brain and skull. “I was just stunned,” Sara Barron, […]
