By AdminOK by Lyn Redwood, R.N., M.S.N. Executive Director, World Mercury Project Recently, top-tier autoimmunity researchers described vaccine safety science as a “hazardous occupation.” In their view, this is because uncompromising vaccine proponents are instantly ready to mount vociferous personal attacks on anyone who raises questions about any aspect of vaccine safety, even if the questions are buttressed by impeccable, high-quality science. Vaccine safety was not always such a taboo topic. In 1961, a leading polio researcher put forth the view in Science that “even after …read more Source: Health Impact News

By Lindsay Sheehan St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a flowering perennial plant native to Europe and Asia. With opposite oblong leaves that are light green in color, St. John’s wort is so named due to its yellow flowers coming into bloom on June 24, the birthday of John the Baptist. The foliage is dotted with small translucent specks that make the leaves appear perforated when held up to light, which is why it is also sometimes referred to as perforate St. John’s wort. Its use in herbal medicine dates back to ancient Greece, where it was prescribed to treat [More]

By Hesh Goldstein Inflammation is a double-edged sword. While it is very critical for the healing of wounds, it is also a bodily response that can become too much of a good thing. Any infection, injury or toxicity problem inflicted on our bodies is handled by the inflammatory response that occurs automatically. Unfortunately, if certain substances in our bodies become unbalanced, the inflammation switch can come “on” at the wrong time or forget to go “off” when no longer needed. When inflammation occurs, it can be seen externally as a rash or swelling. A more dangerous kind is that which [More]
