Things Worth Noting
Most pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables sit on the surface and can be greatly reduced by proper washing. Run produce under cool water while rubbing or scrubbing firm items like apples and using a soft brush on delicate ones like berries or mushrooms. Soaking in a baking soda solution (1 tsp per 2 cups […]
Modern homes burn much faster than older ones. Thirty years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape a house fire; today, it’s often just 3–5 minutes. Synthetic furniture with polyurethane foam, polyester fabrics, open floor plans, engineered wood, and lightweight drywall cause fires to spread rapidly and reach flashover quickly. Burning plastics release thick, […]
In 2025, women’s health continues to evolve with a focus on natural, sustainable solutions to address nutrient gaps caused by busy lifestyles, vegan diets, vegetarian preferences, or specific life stages like childbearing age, prenatal periods, or postmenopausal transitions. Organic multivitamins stand out as a reliable way to support overall well-being, drawing from whole food sources […]
A natural compound from pomegranate and walnuts — Urolithin A — can rejuvenate aging immune cells in just 28 days. Produced by gut bacteria from ellagitannins in these foods, Urolithin A triggers mitophagy: clearing damaged mitochondria and building healthy new ones. A recent human trial in adults 40–65 showed 1,000 mg daily significantly increased youthful […]
In Ripon, California, Weston Elementary School faced alarm in 2016–2019 when four students were diagnosed with rare childhood cancers (brain tumors, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lymphoma), plus cases among teachers and nearby preschoolers. Parents blamed a Sprint cell phone tower on campus for radiofrequency radiation exposure, despite measurements showing levels far below federal safety limits. […]
Mold in damp homes often causes allergy-like symptoms: stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, itchy/watery eyes, throat irritation, and skin rashes. People with asthma may have worse attacks, and prolonged exposure can lead to sinus problems or rare lung inflammation. Some report chronic fatigue, brain fog, headaches, joint pain, mood changes, digestive issues, and […]
Rising allergies like food allergies, asthma, and eczema are linked to poor gut health caused by pesticide exposure. Pesticides such as glyphosate disrupt the gut microbiome, killing beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) and reducing microbial diversity. This dysbiosis weakens the gut barrier, triggers chronic inflammation, and impairs immune tolerance, making the body overreact to harmless allergens […]
Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) causes extreme mood swings, irritability, and mania in kids, often overlapping with ADHD or anxiety and resisting standard treatments. A key study in Frontiers in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry found 92% of 37 PBD children in a Lyme-endemic area had tick-borne infections like Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi), Babesia, Bartonella, or Mycoplasma, with […]
Cancer hates a body with strong defenses: a robust immune system spots neoantigens and destroys tumors via immunoediting, while apoptosis and senescence stop damaged cells from dividing. Healthy mitochondria block the Warburg effect by favoring oxygen over sugar metabolism, and autophagy cleans up faulty parts during fasting. Cut sugar and arginine to starve cancer, eat […]
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like BPA and phthalates in plastics disrupt hormones, lowering testosterone and causing feminization in men—reduced masculinity, poor sperm quality, and fertility issues. These hormone disruptors mimic estrogen or block androgens, harming the HPG axis, steroidogenesis, and spermatogenesis. Common EDCs include DEHP, PFAS, DDT, and PCBs, entering via food, water, and skin. Effects […]
