Companion planting is a practice that can benefit cannabis plants, whether they are grown indoors or outdoors. Monoculture means that hundreds of plants are grown in the same area as a crop, whereas companion planting means dispersing your cannabis plants among other beneficial plants for the best results. Companion planting can improve the quality of […]

The world was shocked when they learned about how Monsanto, an agrichemical and biotech giant, lied upfront about the safety of RoundUp herbicide. RoundUp is widely used around the world and is generously applied on genetically engineered crops. RoundUp was advertised as biodegradable and eco-friendly, but little did we know that Monsanto had secret toxicology […]

Children residing in a region of New York State that uses aerial pesticides to maintain mosquitoes have an increased risk for autism in comparison to children living outside the area, according to a new study.

So, you’ve determined that your body needs a detox. But how do you go about it? There are so many ways, some of them being unsafe. The best and safest way to start out, in my opinion, is to incorporate foods that naturally detox the body into your diet! No starving and surviving on only […]

In certain states, several independent studies found dangerous levels of pesticides in marijuana products. States that have legalized marijuana are struggling to get to grips with the issue of pesticides because the federal government still lists marijuana as an illegal Schedule 1 drug. This means that there is confusion as to which pesticides and what quantities […]

There’s a picture of sizzling bacon, replete with it’s fat and salty substance introducing a recent Reuter’s investigative report on the International Agency on Cancer Research (IARC). The caption underneath the picture (equating IARC statements about carcinogens in processed meat to what IARC says about meat in general) seems to be as shady as the rest of […]

Arsenic-containing well water may be to blame for increased rates of bladder cancer in New England, according to a new study published by the National Cancer Institute on Monday. Bladder cancer is 20 percent higher in populations residing in New Hampshire, Main, and Vermont, where a significant portion of the population depends on private wells. […]

Scientists from Harvard University have joined forces with Monsanto to use genetic engineering to curb problems spurred by genetic engineering. If that doesn’t sound like fighting fire with fire, what does? Proponents of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) argued that they could help reduce the use of pesticides, but history has revealed this to be anything […]

There are many benefits of doing a quick detox, and there are many different ways to go about it. But how do you know if you need one, anyways? Is your body giving you signs that you need a detox, that you may be interpreting incorrectly? This is a common occurrence. An example of this, […]

My illustration on the left is really much too tame. I don’t mean to imply that you’ll just have to live with stupid government stunts, as if the screw they’re turning into our collective chests might be only a painful inconvenience. The reality of what’s truly  happening inside the United States is far, far more […]

Conventional crops tend to be coated with noxious pesticides. Marijuana crops are no exception. As more and more states legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, the next big issue for the alternative health community is to ensure that bud is free of dangerous pesticides. The use of illegal pesticides is a growing problem in the marijuana […]

Millions of Americans remember the private mercenary force known as Blackwater for its involvement in an unprovoked attack that left scores of Iraqi civilians dead in 2007, but most have no idea that the firm had a business relationship as well with Monsanto. As we reported in May 2013, the relationship between the world’s largest […]

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, like a number of other federal agencies whose duty it is to ensure your health, safety and well-being when it comes to food, drugs and the environment, has proven time and again that it is more beholden to political special interests than the general public it was established to serve.

The chemical train of death and destruction just got another engine. Why should we be surprised? The folks at the EPA don’t give two hoots about the soil or your children’s insides. They are more concerned with keeping their job as revolving door bureaucrats and doing the bidding of their masters. I wonder when they will […]
