By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola In the U.S., a Sunday chicken dinner is as all-American as apple pie, but this dietary mainstay is an example of one of the biggest problems facing the food supply: the growing market concentration. Unless you happened to purchase your chicken at a local farm, farmers market or food co-op, and can attest that it was raised on pasture, the way many people think their chicken is raised, it likely came from a major player in the industry, like Perdue or Tyson. Tyson claims to be “one of the leading supporters of American agriculture,”1

By Julie Fidler Most doctors are wonderful people and consummate professionals who truly want the best for their patients. But a recent study suggests much of the blame for the opioid crisis lies squarely on the shoulders of doctors who write prescriptions for hard-hitting opioids when other simpler pain-relieving methods would suffice. The study shows that as recently as 2015, doctors were still prescribing the addictive and potentially deadly painkillers even for minor injuries in great numbers. Researchers wrote in the Annals of Emergency Medicine that 1/4 of patients treated for ankle sprains between 2011 and 2015 were prescribed an

By AdminM Infant Deaths Following Vaccination: The Numbers Don’t Lie—Or Do They? by the Children’s Health Defense Team National and international health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) routinely and emphatically claim that serious adverse events following vaccination are rare. Nowhere is officialdom’s minimization of vaccine risks more apparent than in these agencies’ position on vaccine-related deaths. The WHO, for example, states that “so few deaths can plausibly be attributed to vaccines that it is hard to assess the risk statistically.” Nevertheless, once regulators

By AdminM by Paul FassaHealth Impact News A few decades ago, during the 1970s, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” morphed to “an aspirin a day keeps heart attacks and strokes away.” This is still a medical mantra today even as science-based evidence has proven otherwise. Not only does this not work as a preventative measure for cardiac arrest and strokes, the side effects to the gastrointestinal or GI tract can be severe. This is not an opinion.

By Ken Ham I had the wonderful opportunity to visit my home country of Australia and speak to overflow crowds in two different churches in the state of Queensland on the “Relevance of Genesis.” Believers in these churches were presented with the importance of thinking foundationally to give answers to a culture that is increasingly rejecting the word of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. As with the rest of the West, Australia is headed for moral and spiritual chaos as secular, humanistic religion takes hold of that nation. It’s a very small percentage of the population …read more
