Great news! Kentucky law makers want to end fluoride in the drinking water. Even Harvard has talked about how dangerously high the levels can be. Sadly, our neighboring county didn’t have it until recently and they added it. #AssBackwards
Several studies have reported the negative effects of fluoride in drinking water, (soda pop or anything else that uses public water) on cognitive capacities ... See MoreSee Less

"Our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer (1). Based on the best research I could find, I have estimated that psychiatric drugs alone are also the third major killer (2), mainly because antidepressants kill many elderly people through falls (3). This tells us that the system we have for researching, approving, marketing, and using drugs is totally broken (1,2).

What makes this particularly absurd is that the vast majority of the deaths can easily be prevented. Non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) carry a huge death toll, primarily by causing bleeding stomach ulcers and myocardial infarction, and most of those who die could have done well without drugs or by taking paracetamol (acetaminophen- * wrong it causes liver damage). The idea that NSAIDs have an anti-inflammatory effect has been disproved by placebo controlled studies (4,5).

Antidepressant drugs are another major killer that people could do well without. Their effect on depression is questionable. The standard outcomes are highly subjective, e.g. a score on a depression scale, and it is therefore important that the trials are adequately blinded, but they aren’t. Most patients and doctors can guess whether the drug is active or placebo because of the drugs’ conspicuous and common side effects, and if atropine is added to the placebo to blind the trials better, the effect disappears (6). Many drugs that likely have no true effect, e.g. anticholinergic drugs for urinary incontinence and anti-dementia drugs, also have cerebral side effects and can kill patients

There are simple solutions to our deadly drug epidemic. Make fewer diagnoses, prescribe fewer drugs and tell the patients to read the package insert on the internet. Then they might never take the drug. Many years ago I did research on naproxen and when I read the package insert and realized in how many different ways this drug could kill me, I decided never to take an NSAID.

A life without drugs is possible for most of us most of the time."

Many parents see great improvements with they work to heal the guts of their autistic children. Here is a probiotic study with good results. The results jibe with those from a 2016 study by the same team: In that study, the team reported that the same bacteria normalize social behavior in pups born to obese mice. They also align with a 2018 study showing that the bacteria enhance social behavior in mice with a mutation in SHANK3, a top autism gene.
Two points. Autism has a genetic link so children should be tested before being vaccinated to see if they are susceptible to toxins in vaccines. An MTHFR gene mutation affects the body's ability to use folic acid, it can increase cancer risk and cardiovascular disease risk. Those with this mutation may have trouble effectively eliminating toxins from the body. wellnessmama.com/27148/mthfr-mutation/
Second. Your digestive tract health is essential to maintaining your immune system. There are many interaction between the body’s immune system and good bacteria in the gut. 70 to 80 percent of your immune tissue is situated in your digestive tract. ... See MoreSee Less
