That substance is thimerosal, and it is proven to be neurologically toxic – to the point that it really is “settled science,” says Natural News founder/editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in a newly released podcast.

Adams should know. As the science director for the accredited heavy metals laboratory, CWC Labs, he has personally tested vaccines for their mercury content, having found varying levels of mercury in many. He knows more about heavy metals and their toxicity than most vaccine pushers will ever know. He even wrote a No. 1-selling science book on heavy metals in foods called Food Forensics. (RELATED: Keep up with all of modern medicine’s health failures at Vaccines.news)

So, when he says there is literally a cartel of toxic mercury pushers who are denying the periodic table of elements by pushing toxic mercury in vaccines, they are essentially “medical child molesters,” because they are contributing to childhood brain damage through use of a known neurotoxin.

“As any genuine scientist or chemist knows, there is no such thing as a safe quantity or safe form of mercury for injecting into children. And yet, there is continued advocacy of pushing vaccines that contain mercury, a gross violation of the American Medical Association’s code of ethics,” he says, noting that despite mercury’s neurological toxicity, it is still being given to children deliberately.

In his podcast, Adams makes sure to point out that it may only take a very small amount of mercury-laced thimerosal in a few vaccines to push a child over the edge, neurologically. And he says it can happen even before a baby is born.

In fact, he notes, the earlier vaccines are given, the higher the chance that a baby or young child will be harmed neurologically. Often, children are fine right up until they receive a certain vaccine – one that may contain more mercury than their little brains can handle – and they lapse into a seizure, develop a high temperature and either develop autism afterward or permanent brain damage.

The government is aware of this potential, which is why in the 1980s, the Department of Health and Human Services established a vaccine injury fund to pay out claims to vaccine-harmed individuals through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Adams also delves a little bit into why thimerosal-laced vaccines are being given to children. A major reason “is population control,” so that elites like vaccine-pusher Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, can winnow down the number of people in the world who are consuming resources. (RELATED: Learn all about the Gates’ and their foundation at TruthWiki.org)

“Why give kids vaccines that cause such harm” if there isn’t some sinister reason behind it? Adams asks. Brain-damaged kids are also easier to “indoctrinate” in public schools, he points out.

It’s a fallacy to think that the government and vaccine makers are really just trying to “help children,” he adds. If that were the case, the government would have moved to have mercury removed from vaccines long ago.

The Health Ranger also poses this question: If it is so very wrong to harm children through other forms of violence, abuse and neglect (and it is wrong), why isn’t anyone being held responsible for harming kids with vaccines?

He goes on to note that some of the governing elite – in the U.S. but also in other Western societies – have always had a proclivity for abusing children. Such abuse continues to this day in the form of child sex trafficking, child pornography and other forms of abuse. But the vaccine industry is also allowed to prey on children with toxins, as evidenced by the thimerosal in them. “They want to harm children, otherwise they wouldn’t be injecting them with a known neurotoxin,” Adams says.

Natural homemade toothpaste heals cavities while whitening teeth /greenlivingnews/2017-01-26-natural-homemade-toothpaste-heals-cavities-while-whitening-teeth.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-26-natural-homemade-toothpaste-heals-cavities-while-whitening-teeth.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-26-natural-homemade-toothpaste-heals-cavities-while-whitening-teeth.html There are over 500 different microorganisms in our mouths, says Saveyoursmile.com. One of the most prolific, known as streptococcus mutans, is the one that causes all that sticky plaque. In the last 7000 years, a wide variety of substances have been utilized to get rid of it. The Eqyptians created a tooth cream by “mixing powdered ashes of oxen hooves with myrrh, burnt egg shells, pumice, and water.” The Persians added gypsum and the shells of burnt oysters and snails. The well-to-do in 18th century England tried borax, but that was not kind to the enamel, or the oral mucosa –  the membrane in the mouth’s lining and one of the most absorbent tissues in the body.

Today, the American toothpaste marketplace is a $1.6 billion dollar business. Unfortunately, the ingredients in most commercial toothpastes, and even in some who claim to be “natural” may contain a bevy of toxic ingredients, reports CornucopiaFDA approved chemicals in toothpastes, even the “natural” ones can include paraben preservatives, sodium lauryl sulfate, artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners, carrageenan, and diazolidnyl urea. These compounds are endocrine disruptors, skin irritants, and suspected or known carcinogens. Why allow these in your mouth, when you can make your own great tasting toothpaste that can heal your cavities, help prevent gum disease and whiten your teeth without those nasty toxins? Here’s a recipe from Holisiticlivingtips.com:

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons of baking soda

3 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil

1 tablespoon of xylitol

1 tablespoon of neem powder

15 drops of mint essential oil

Make your paste:

It’s recommended that you use a glass jar when making your truly natural and effective toothpaste. And it’s as easy as simply mixing everything together! Keep in mind that using extra virgin coconut oil is very important, as it has been shown to have antimicrobial effects. Neem powder provides the benefits helping prevent gum disease and bad breath, says Stylecraze.com. It also helps reduce plaque and cavities due to its “antibacterial, antiseptic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.”

Although the xylitol can safely sweeten the taste of your toothpaste, it provides additional oral health benefits, according to Authoritynutrition.com. The plaque creating streptococcus mutans bacteria can literally be starved to death by xylitol. Saliva is increased by using xylitol and that additional saliva helps with teeth mineralization. Xylitol also helps prevent gum disease.

Baking soda is helpful especially if you have stains on your teeth, as it can help remove discoloration, according to Newhealthguide.org. It’s alkaline properties “release free radicals that attack teeth stains,” and “has a bleach-like action.”  Essential oils are for more than aroma. Peppermint essential oil can help reduce anaerobic bacteria, which, if they proliferate, can cause gum disease. Spearmint essential oil has antiseptic qualities and can sooth the oral mucosa. Follow more news on natural remedies at Remedies.news.

It’s recommended to use this toothpaste three times a day. Oral health is so important to your overall health and self esteem. If you’re making every effort to eat healthy foods without chemicals, GMOs or pesticides, wouldn’t you want to make the same effort for the teeth that are chewing it?

Check out the label on your current toothpaste and see what it says. You may be unpleasantly surprised. But now, you have the resources to change brands.

Study links aluminum from geoengineering to accelerating decline in bee populations /greenlivingnews/2017-01-25-study-links-aluminum-from-geoengineering-to-decline-in-bee-population.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-25-study-links-aluminum-from-geoengineering-to-decline-in-bee-population.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-25-study-links-aluminum-from-geoengineering-to-decline-in-bee-population.html Could aluminum be playing a role in the devastating decline of bee populations? There have been seemingly endless debates about what is killing off the species responsible for making honey. Everything from pesticides to pollution has been suggested as a possible cause for the dramatic decrease in bees.

Several species of bees have already been added to the endangered species list. In the fall of 2016, the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service announced that seven types of yellow-faced bees, native to Hawaii, would be deemed “endangered.” (Related: Stay current with the latest bee headlines at Bees.news)

Research published in the journal Public Library of Science One has linked the metal as a contributing factor to the rapidly descending numbers of bumblebees. The study, lead by the University of Sussex, found that mean aluminum content in bee pupae had a negative impact on bee colonies’ average pupal weight. No other effects were immediately seen. However, the team stated that bees rely heavily on cognitive function to survive and that the high aluminum levels found in the colonies were extremely concerning given that it is a neurotoxic metal. Aluminum has been linked to conditions like Alzheimer’s disease in humans. (Note that aluminum is also one of many toxic metals and ingredients still used in vaccines given to children.)

The scientists said that the amount of aluminum found in the bee pupae was more than enough to cause brain damage in a human. Levels of 13 to 200 parts per million were found among the bee colonies’ pupae. For context, just 3 parts per million is considered to be enough to damage human brain tissue.

Professor Chris Exley, an expert on human exposure to aluminum, from Keele University even posited the question, “[A]re we looking at bees with Alzheimer’s disease?”

Another study, conducted by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, found that bees were at risk of consuming toxic amounts of aluminum and nickel from flowers that grow in contaminated soil.

Where is the aluminum coming from?

One possible avenue for soil to become contaminated with aluminum is through geoengineering.  Kristen Meghan, an ex-military whistleblower came forward some time ago about the experiments being conducted. Meghan spent nine years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force in Bio-environmental Engineering. When she first learned of the chemtrail conspiracy, she set out to prove it wrong. But her investigations only led her to believe that the conspiracy was a reality, and that the government really is spraying toxins into the air over our heads. Aluminum barium, strontium oxide, and sulfates were all found in samples of not just soil, but also air and water.

Not too long ago, Dr. Russell Blaylock expressed his concern over the aluminum content of chemtrails. Dr. Blaylock maintains that these nano-sized particles being sprayed via aerosol can be even more harmful to body tissues, due to their increased reactivity and ability to be absorbed into tissue more easily. Blaylock believes that the increased incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and dementia, are indeed related to what is being sprayed into our skies. (Related: keep up to date with the latest geoengineering headlines at Geoengineering.news)

Dr. Blaylock explains, “Nanoparticles of aluminum are not only infinitely more inflammatory, they also easily penetrate the brain by a number of routes, including the blood and olfactory nerves (the smell nerves in the nose).” Studies have even shown that particulate of such a small size can easily pass through the olfactory neural tracts, which connect to part of the brain most vulnerable to being affected by Alzheimer’s.

It stands to reason that if humans are more susceptible to the affects of aerosolized aluminum, something as small as a bee would be especially affected by it. Science has already illustrated that aluminum pollution can have a negative effect on bee’s cognitive abilities — some research has even shown that it out and out causes dementia in them too.

The CDC is an “edifice of fraud” warns Robert F. Kennedy Jr. /greenlivingnews/2017-01-25-the-cdc-is-an-edifice-of-fraud-warns-robert-f-kennedy-jr.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-25-the-cdc-is-an-edifice-of-fraud-warns-robert-f-kennedy-jr.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-25-the-cdc-is-an-edifice-of-fraud-warns-robert-f-kennedy-jr.html The mainstream media’s coverage of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s having been asked by incoming President Donald J. Trump to lead a vaccine safety commission is a testament to just how influential the vaccine industry is regarding the manipulation of the narrative on the subject.

The reaction by the press and the scientific establishment to the announcement also indicate the level of threat perceived by those who want to continue hiding the dirty little secret that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) truly lives up to the “edifice of fraud” label attached to it by Kennedy.

Since Trump asked Kennedy to lead the commission, the longtime anti-mercury crusader and environmental lawyer has been called a “vulture,” an “alarmist” and worse by those in the media who take their marching orders from Big Pharma and other corporate interests.

So what exactly has Robert Kennedy, Jr. been saying that makes him such a dangerous “conspiracy theorist”?

Perhaps his refusal to mince words regarding the CDC’s inherent conflicts of interest have led to his demonization by the mainstream media news outlets:

“All the things that I do are bent on forcing this debate out into the open—because once the science is in the open, the CDC’s position is so fragile, it’s an edifice of fraud, fraud stacked upon fraud, so high and so wobbly, that even a slight breeze of public scrutiny will topple it.”

This is the kind of talk that scares the bejeezus out of CDC authorities, and it’s why they mobilize their minions in the press to smear anyone brazen enough to tell the unvarnished truth, as Kennedy, Jr. has on many occasions.

In fact, Kennedy, Jr. has also hit the nail on the head regarding the media’s collusion with the CDC:

“And the press has been compromised. And it’s not just the mainstream corporate media, but also the so-called alternative media like Huffington Post. Daniel Schulman wrote in the Columbia …Journalism Review that for journalists this is radioactive, that this is a career-ending controversy. So reporters won’t touch it, they’re really scared of it.”

So it’s no big surprise that the press has done its best to discredit Kennedy, Jr. as he now appears to be in a position to put pressure on the CDC and to bring transparency to the public.

And if there are any remaining doubts as to whether or not Kennedy, Jr. is barking up the right tree, the recent submission of a letter to the head of the CDC from a group of anonymous CDC whistleblower scientists calling themselves the Spider Group (Scientists Preserving Integrity, Diligence and Ethics in Research) should lay them to rest.

A brief excerpt from the letter sent by the Spider Group to CDC chief of staff, Carmen S. Villar:

“It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests. It seems that our mission and Congressional intent for our agency is being circumvented by some of our leaders.”

If that’s not clear justification for a full and complete investigation of the CDC, it’s hard to imagine what would be, except perhaps the fact that the CDC owns at least 20 vaccine patents itself, as Robert Kennedy, Jr. has pointed out (the actual number of patents is more like 50).

Essentially, the CDC is the vaccine industry and that’s one of the facts that needs to be made clear to the American public.

If you’d like to learn more about Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s position regarding vaccines, I recommend reading the in-depth interview conducted by Autism File Executive Editor, Rita Shreffler,  published on the World Mercury Project website. Also, read excerpts from his book on Thimerosal at this Natural News link.

President Trump’s choice of Robert Kennedy, Jr. to head up the vaccine safety commission may prove to be one of his most significant acts as he assumes the presidency. Stay informed at Vaccines.news, and watch for the upcoming launch of Thimerosal.news.

Use essential oils for bone aches and inflammation /greenlivingnews/2017-01-24-use-essential-oils-for-bone-aches-and-inflammation.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-24-use-essential-oils-for-bone-aches-and-inflammation.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-24-use-essential-oils-for-bone-aches-and-inflammation.html One in five U.S. adults suffer from arthritis, a term used to describe inflammation of the joints. Arthritis, which can be caused by a variety of widely differing health conditions, is the number one cause of disability in the United States.

Because there is no cure for arthritis, the condition is typically treated with over-the-counter or prescription painkillers and anti-inflammatories (underlying health conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, may have their own treatments). But as with all pharmaceuticals, these drugs can carry side effects or even serious risks, particularly if used long term.

But, there is a natural alternative. If you suffer from stiff, inflamed or painful joints, try the following essential oil treatments, and see if they are able to offer you relief. (Also, stay informed about natural remedies at Remedies.news)

Which oils to use

Many essential oils have overlapping effects, so you can either choose the oil that you best like the smell of (or that is least expensive or easiest to find), or you can combine multiple oils to boost their effectiveness, or both.

Eucalyptus oil is a natural topical analgesic, which is why it is included as an ingredient in many medicated chest and muscle rubs. Part of its painkilling power may come from its effect of dilating blood vessels and increasing circulation — which also promotes the body’s natural healing processes.

Peppermint oil contains menthol, another common ingredient in medicated chest and muscle rubs. Menthol and other peppermint oil components are anti-inflammatories, thus helping bring down the pain and swelling associated with arthritis.

Rosemary oil combines many of the properties of eucalyptus and peppermint oils. It is an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic that also helps improve circulation.

Birch oil is also anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic. It also contains the painkillers methyl salicylate and salicylic acid, chemicals closely related to aspirin. Like most essential oils, birch is also a potent antiseptic.

The final oil on the list is not a painkiller or anti-inflammatory, and is better known for its effects on mood: lavender. But like eucalyptus and rosemary oil, lavender oil helps increase circulation, which leads to improved healing and reduced pain. Lavender’s ability to promote calm, relaxation and sleep also help mobilize your body’s natural healing abilities.

How to use essential oils for arthritis

With only a very few exceptions, essential oils should never be applied directly to the skin. Instead, they should be mixed with a “carrier oil” such as jojoba, sesame, olive or sweet almond. These can be food-grade oils from your grocery store, or cosmetics-grade oils purchased from a natural health or grocery store.

One of the best essential oil treatments for arthritis is a full-body bath soak. This consists of taking a few drops of essential oils, mixing them into a small amount of carrier oil, then pouring the entire mixture into a bathtub full of hot water. If you want, you can also add 2 to 3 cups of Epsom salts for added effectiveness.

If you want a more focused treatment on a particular part of your body, you can simply use your essential oil-carrier oil blend (about 10 drops essential oil per ounce of carrier oil) as a massage oil, and apply it directly to the troublesome spot. Or you can mix 4 drops of essential oil directly into a pint of either hot or icy water, to use for a hot or cold compress. Soak up the water-oil blend with a small towel, then apply the compress to the painful area for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the compress has reached body temperature.

Heat is recommended by most health professionals for maximum promotion of blood flow and the body’s natural healing processes. Cold, however, can provide more short-term relief by temporarily reducing pain and swelling. To get the benefits of both, you can alternate between hot and cold compresses.

Because essential oils are biologically active, it is possible for them to interact negatively with certain pharmaceutical drugs. If you are taking any arthritis medication, consult with a qualified health professional before mixing pharmaceutical and essential oil therapies.

Denmark puts 53 million Euros towards becoming the first organic nation /greenlivingnews/2017-01-24-denmark-puts-53-million-euros-towards-becoming-the-first-organic-nation.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-24-denmark-puts-53-million-euros-towards-becoming-the-first-organic-nation.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-12-denmark-puts-53-million-euros-towards-becoming-the-first-organic-nation.html Recognizing the immense environmental and economic benefits of producing clean food, the European nation of Denmark is on a mission to transform its entire agricultural landscape into a chemical-free, organic paradise. And according to new reports, it is rapidly doing so with money it smartly invested back in 2015 which, if everything goes according to plan, will soon make Denmark the world’s first, 100 percent organic country.

Boasting one of the world’s oldest organic brands, Denmark is already widely renowned for its ambitiously progressive system of agriculture. The Scandinavian country has long been a world leader in organic exports, which since 2007 has boosted its economic output by some 200 percent. And as more and more countries demand food free of pesticides and other toxins, Denmark is poised to continue this positive growth for the foreseeable future.

But simply producing a whole lot of organics isn’t enough for Denmark, as the highly developed nation now wants to attain the global title as being the first country to go completely organic. A 67-point document drafted by Økologiplan Danmark explains that the goal is to double the amount of agricultural land cultivated using organic methods by 2020, including state-owned land.

“The government intends to tackle the task of turning Denmark into a 100% organic country by working on two different fronts,” explains True Activist about the plan. “First, it will give a boost to turn traditional farmland into organic and stimulate increased demand for pesticide-free products … [t]he second part involves promoting the nation’s transition to organic.” (RELATED: Stay informed about pesticides at Pesticide.news)

Denmark’s organic conversion will be a success because all involved parties are fully unified

In line with the Organic Action Plan for Denmark, the plan is to use land owned by the government to cultivate food using organic and biodynamic methods. Independent, small-scale farms, many of which are owned by families, will also receive a cash boon and the support they need to transition their crops to 100 percent organic — livestock included — by the target deadlines.

To keep up with the latest advancements in agriculture, the Danish government will duly allot money towards developing new technologies and approaches that will help organic and biodynamic farmers achieve high yields without the need for pesticides, herbicides, and other noxious chemicals. There won’t be a reason not to use these methods, in other words, as “green” farming will end up paying for itself.

“Not only will land belonging to the government be cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods, but the government will support and finance those working and investing in this sector, to develop new technologies and ideas that help promote growth,” says Organic Vegan Earth.

“And we’re not just talking about fruits and vegetables, but also livestock — particularly pigs.”

So far, everything seems to be going smoothly as Denmark’s Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, as well as the country’s defense department, are both on board and already transitioning the food served to workers at state-run cafeterias to organic and chemical-free. As many as 40 percent of such facilities are already serving organic food, so it’s really a matter of getting the remaining 60 percent fully transitioned as soon as possible.

Also cooperating is Denmark’s Ministry of the Environment, which is already busy at work converting much of the land it governs to organic, and developing new ways to entice more organic farmers to rent or lease land for such purposes, including encouraging folks to grow more of their own food at home. The Ministry of Education is likewise developing new curriculum to teach children and teens about the benefits of organic farming.”

“… the reform of the educational system looks to not only invigorate nutrition-based education, with specific courses dedicated to food as well as organic farming, which will be studied in science classes,” adds Organic Vegan Earth. “A whole country and all of its institutions are marking together to build an organic future.”

Over 7,000 studies confirm turmeric’s health-protective effects /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-over-7000-studies-confirm-turmerics-health-protective-effects.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-over-7000-studies-confirm-turmerics-health-protective-effects.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-over-7000-studies-confirm-turmerics-health-protective-effects.html Turmeric is known for its rich, yellow color and its myriad of culinary uses.  The old-world spice has been coveted for centuries, with evidence indicating that it may have even been part of ancient Chinese medicine a thousand years ago.

Recently, however, this traditional culinary staple is gaining recognition for its amazing health benefits.  Some 7,000 studies have been conducted, and much of the research shows that turmeric is a powerful healing agent with a wide variety of applications. Antibacterial, antimutagenic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties are just some of the things that make turmeric so special. It’s also loaded with micronutrients like vitamins C, E and K, and minerals such as calcium, zinc, iron and magnesium.

Research demonstrates the power of turmeric

Several studies have shown that turmeric even has the ability to help fight against certain types of cancer. For example, a 2015 review published by the journal Molecules states that curcumin — a key component of turmeric — can inhibit the initiation, progression and metastasis of a number of different kinds of tumors. The review authors also note that curcumin halts disease progression by inducing apoptosis, or cell death.  The team notes that at the time their review was completed, some 6,850 studies of turmeric had been published, noting that many of these were indicative of the spice’s potential health benefits.

In their conclusion, the authors write, “A plethora of in vitro and in vivo research together with clinical trials conducted over the past few decades substantiate the potential of curcumin as an anti-cancer agent.” The team notes that curcumin is limited by its bioavailability, but states that regardless of potential draw backs, curcumin is a “safe and promising molecule for the prevention and therapy of not only cancer but also other inflammation-driven diseases.”

Another recent study, also published in 2015, was indicative of curcumin’s anti-cancer effects. (Discover more news about natural cures at Cures.news.) The study was conducted by a team of researchers from Emory University’s Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, and was published by the joural, PLOS One. The team sought to investigate how curcumin exacts its apoptosis-inducing effects in cancer cell lines of the upper aerodigestive tract, which refers to the lungs and bronchus, larynx, pharynx and oral cavity. After treating cancerous tissue samples with curcumin, the team examined the effects. From their findings, the team surmised that curcumin’s apoptosis-inducing effects were prompted by its ability to simultaneously turn on a tumor-suppressor gene and down-regulated anti-apoptotic proteins.

Essentially, this means that their data indicate curcumin turns on cancer suppression, and turns off the production of proteins that prevent cell death. Together, these effects result in cancer cell apoptosis.

Other health benefits

Fighting cancer, of course, is not the only benefit that turmeric can provide — though it surely is an impressive one. For example, a randomized double-blind, placebo controlled study found that turmeric supplements could help support a more balanced mood. The study, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, found that just eight weeks of turmeric supplementation boosted participants’ scores on depression and anxiety tests. All of the participants in the turmeric group exhibited substantial improvement compared to the placebo group.

Studies have also indicated that turmeric can help to relieve physical discomfort, too. A 4-week study published in the Journal of Clinical Interventions in Aging found that turmeric worked as well as ibuprofen at relieving osteoarthritis pain — and that it worked even better than the pharmaceutical when it came to relieving joint stiffness. A previous study, published in 2011, also found that turmeric helped to relieve pain. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in Surgical Endoscopy found that turmeric supplements relieved post-operative discomfort in gallbladder surgery patients better than placebo. In 3-week intervals, patients taking the supplement reported significantly less pain and discomfort than the placebo patients.

Turmeric has many other health benefits. It has been used to promote wound healing, soothe tissue irritation, relieve stomach aches, and boost heart health. Turmeric is truly a miraculous substance that continues to astound researchers across the globe.

The Health Ranger’s 10-point plan to help Make America Great Again (VIDEO) /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-health-rangers-10-point-plan-to-help-make-america-great-again-video.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-health-rangers-10-point-plan-to-help-make-america-great-again-video.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-health-rangers-10-point-plan-to-help-make-america-great-again-video.html Putting President Trump into the White House isn’t enough all by itself: The American people need to step up and help Make America Great Again in their own patriotic way. (Plus, we need to overcome all the anti-American haters and destroyers like George Soros, Madonna and the unhinged radical left.)

Today I’ve posted a lengthy video discussing my own 10-point plan to help MAGA. My plan differs from Trump’s plan in that I’m going to be working to reduce pesticides and herbicides in food and the environment while demanding honest GMO labeling. Sadly, the Republican establishment is still mostly illiterate on the science surrounding pesticides and GMOs, so they need to be educated. There’s no one better to do that than a patriotic Trump supporter who also understands the science!

Watch my video at this link to hear my full 10-point plan, or see the full video below.

  1. Push for banning mercury in vaccines and ending the war on children.
  2. Use good science to keep exposing the toxic chemicals and heavy metals in the food supply.
  3. Keep exposing media lies, fake news and fake science.
  4. Defend the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights.
  5. Teach more preparedness and self-reliance so more people can survive the global debt collapse that’s coming.
  6. Keep delivering clean, green, lab-verified solutions for healthy living and breakthrough nutrition via the Health Ranger Store.
  7. Demand a more tolerant society and an end to systemic racism in academia and government, where racism against Asians and Whites is now endemic. Stop college professors from teaching “hate courses” that only strengthen the cycle of violence and racial divide.
  8. Fight against subversives and communists who are trying to overthrow America (see videos by Yuri Bezmenov and the 4 stages of subversion).
  9. Keep fighting against poisonous, chemical agriculture and GMOs while advocating honest food labeling.
  10. Keep sharing ideas for how to prevent disease, lower health care costs and save our nation billions of dollars. Promote nutrition that halts and prevents disease.

EPA acknowledges deadly effects of pesticides on bees, but refuses to restrict their use /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-epa-acknowledges-deadly-effects-of-pesticides-on-bees-but-ignores-bill-on-restricting-their-use.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-epa-acknowledges-deadly-effects-of-pesticides-on-bees-but-ignores-bill-on-restricting-their-use.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-epa-acknowledges-deadly-effects-of-pesticides-on-bees-but-ignores-bill-on-restricting-their-use.html In a disconnect of mammoth proportions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has just acknowledged the threat to bee populations posed by neonicotinoid pesticides, while simultaneously reversing its position regarding a proposal to limit their use.

On January 12, the EPA admitted for the first time that three commonly used neonicotinoid pesticides – clothianidin, thiamethoxam and dinetofuran – pose a significant risk to bee populations. The agency’s updated analysis also acknowledged the threat posed by a fourth neonicotinoid compound – imidacloprid – which can harm both pollinators and aquatic insect species.

But on the very same day that the analysis was released, the EPA also announced that it had withdrawn its support for a proposal to introduce limited restrictions on the use of neonicotinoids in fields where honey bees are present. In place of the proposed restrictions, the agency announced a set of voluntary guidelines that do not impose mandatory compliance. (RELATED: Read more news about pesticides at Pesticide.news)

Director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Environmental Health program, Lori Ann Burd, said:

“It’s outrageous that on the same day the EPA acknowledged these dangerous pesticides are killing bees it also reversed course on mandating restrictions on their use. This is like a doctor diagnosing your illness but then deciding to withhold the medicine you need to cure it.”

The fact that the EPA has confirmed the threat to pollinators posed by neonicotinoids, while refusing to restrict their use, speaks volumes about the influence the pesticide industry wields over the agency’s policies regarding their use.

So what exactly are neonicotinoids, and why are they so dangerous to bees and other pollinator species?

From Eco Watch:

“Neonicotinoids are a class of pesticides known to have both acute and chronic effects on honey bees, birds, butterflies and other pollinator species, and they are a major factor in overall pollinator declines. These systemic insecticides cause entire plants, including their pollen and nectar, to become toxic to pollinators. These chemicals are also slow to break down and they build up in soil, where they pose an especially grave threat to thousands of species of ground-nesting native bees.”

In 2016, a United Nations committee published a new study on the subject of pollinators and the danger they face as a result of human activities. The committee found that 40 percent of all invertebrate pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, are threatened with extinction – a prospect that has grave implications for humanity.

Ninety percent of the world’s flowering plants depend on bees and other pollinators. Around 75 percent of all crops depend on pollinators (mainly bees). This represents about 1.4 billion jobs and nearly $600 billion worth of crops. (RELATED: Read more news about the environment at Enviro.news)

It’s becoming clear that neonicotinoids are more of a threat to pollinators than previously believed. In response, the EU has banned neonicotinoids altogether, and in 2016, the pesticides were banned from use in United States national wildlife refuges.

But in spite of all the evidence, the EPA has created a policy that does no more than ask the agricultural industry to consider not spraying neonicotinoids in fields where commercial honeybees are present. In other words, the EPA is doing nothing to address the problem.

“This is a rejection of science that should be deeply troubling to all Americans,” said Burd.

Indeed, it is troubling when an agency charged with protecting the environment refuses to take into account its own findings, but rather rules in favor of an industry that poses one of the most significant threats to the environment – along with the humans and animals who depend on it.

The big question now is: How will the incoming administration handle this and other urgent environmental issues while simultaneously creating a climate favorable to business interests, as it has promised?

The outcome should be interesting, to say the least. …

Chemotherapy, flu shots, cigarettes and diet soda – what do all these have in common? /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-chemotherapy-flu-shots-cigarettes-and-diet-soda-what-do-all-these-have-in-common.html /greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-chemotherapy-flu-shots-cigarettes-and-diet-soda-what-do-all-these-have-in-common.html#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/greenlivingnews/2017-01-23-chemotherapy-flu-shots-cigarettes-and-diet-soda-what-do-all-these-have-in-common.html Are you living in a chemical matrix? Do you think the commercials on television for medications are real? Are you one of those people who believes cancer can be cured with a pill, a vaccine or a volatile chemical concoction that’s “dripped” into your blood? Are you that person who always says, “Everything in moderation,” and then goes about your merry way, eating fast food, getting flu shots, smoking cigarettes, drinking diet soda, and asking the oncologist if he sees any “dark spots” on your x-rays? That “dark spot” is your entire lifestyle, and if you don’t change it, no chemical medicine on planet Earth can save you – not now, and not ever.

Chemotherapy was originally derived from deadly mustard gas used as chemical warfare in World War I

Did you know that 75 percent of MDs and oncologists would never use chemotherapy on themselves or their relatives? Why? They know that there’s only a 2.3 percent average chance that it works, and for the rest of humanity, it destroys the entire human immune system and creates new cancers in the blood and body. It’s true; cancer is the uncontrolled growth and errant replication of cells that are exposed to an overload of chemicals, synthetics, heavy metal toxins and other carcinogens. Guess what’s in flu shots, diet soda and cigarettes?

Chemotherapy “alkylating agents” are composed of tetrazines and nitrogen mustards – chemicals that lead to other cancers. So, while you stave off certain bad cell divisions, you destroy healthy gut flora and the entire endocrine system, throwing off your hormonal balance and polluting the blood, heart and brain with carcinogens, which are what caused your cancer in the first place.

Flu shots contain mercury and formaldehyde – two of the most deadly neurotoxins known to medical science

Formaldehyde is a dangerous environmental pollutant that is used to embalm dead people in order to preserve their corpses. Formaldehyde is ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds to human health, and can cause liver damage, gastrointestinal issues, reproductive deformation and respiratory distress. You thought you got a little bit of the flu when you got your flu jab? That was your reaction to the formaldehyde!

Formaldehyde is a well-established neurotoxin that is detrimental to learning, behavior and memory. The levels of formaldehyde in the brain increase substantially with most neurodegenerative disorders. Coincidence? Did you know that the CDC has the nerve to recommend flu shots to pregnant women? That is totally insane.

Scientists and vaccine manufacturers use formaldehyde to “deaden” or weaken the influenza virus strains, but those viruses can lay dormant for extended periods of time and then suddenly “wake up” when fed by viral proteins (hemagglutinin) in your blood, especially when the virus sticks to cells lining the respiratory tract. That’s when the virus sheds its “coat.” The viral RNA enters the nucleus of the host cell and literally hijacks it.

Injecting formaldehyde into the body can cause blindness, brain damage, seizures, and yes, even cancer. Flu shots can lead to facial paralysis, as explained in the “post-marketing experience” section on the vaccine insert. Have you ever read that insert? Take a look right here.

Then, your body has to contend with massive amounts of mercury, which have been injected into your muscle tissue. Your body reacts violently as your immune system goes into a state of complete and utter panic. It’s called fight or flight. Why? Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element on earth. According to the CDC, no amount of mercury injected into the body has been determined as being too much, but eating or drinking mercury (like in fish or water) is very dangerous. Flu shots still contain massive amounts of mercury, a most potent neurotoxin, listed as thimerosal. However, thimerosal is just a fancy name for an anti-fungal chemical compound (C9H9HgNaO2S) which consists of at least 50 percent mercury.

Mercury tests conducted on vaccines at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab using high-end laboratory instrumentation have revealed a shockingly high level of toxic mercury in an influenza vaccine (flu shot) made by GlaxoSmithKline (lot #9H2GX). Tests conducted document mercury in the Flulaval vaccine at a shocking 51 parts per million, or over 25,000 times higher than the maximum contaminant level of inorganic mercury in drinking water set by the EPA.

Cigarettes or diet soda – which gives you cancer faster?

Artificial sweeteners are just that: artificial. That means your body is completely fooled into thinking it’s food because it tastes sweet and it’s entering your body with other food or beverages. Some synthetic, lab-made sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose and sorbitol can remain inside your cleansing organs for weeks, months and even years. Aspartame has been found lodged in the brains of children. Aspartame’s toxic effects are cumulative, building up over time. This complex molecule is made up of 50 percent phenylalanine, 40 percent aspartic acid and 10 percent methanol, and each of these substances can be dangerous to humans as they work together in the body. In children with the PKU phenylektoneuric gene (PKU), aspartame damages the developing brain.

Cigarettes, on the other hand, are loaded with formaldehyde, pesticides, fiberglass (it’s in the filter), aluminum and other deadly heavy metal toxins.

The new Splenda Essentials cleverly adds vitamin B and antioxidants to its core ingredient sucralose, a non-nutritive sweetener that does not grow in sugar fields, but is rather manufactured in laboratories as a synthetic compound. That’s right: At some point during the manufacturing process, the natural sugar disappears, and what remains are chlorinated atoms that are bulked up with dextrose and maltodextrin. You see, Sucralose is produced by substituting three chlorine atoms for three hydroxyl groups. Sucralose is not approved for use in most European countries, where national healthcare programs are prominent. Go figure.

So, now you’re asking: What’s the big deal with ingesting synthetic food agents? The Japanese Food Sanitation Council reports that up to 40 percent of ingested sucralose is absorbed and can concentrate in the liver, kidney and gastrointestinal tract. Can you say, “Irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers and cancer polyps,” three times, really fast?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wants to pull deadly mercury out of all flu shots

The one and only Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who was named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet” in May of 2010, just authored an incredible, mind-blowing book entitled, Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak: The Evidence Supporting the Immediate Removal of Mercury — a Known Neurotoxin — from Vaccines, and has now been appointed by President Donald J. Trump to run the new Vaccine Safety Commission for the United States of America. Get ready for the most violent chemicals to be removed from American medicine, especially the flu shot.

Let’s all stop eating, drinking and injecting chemicals while pretending it’s okay – because it’s not okay. Find organic truth in everything, from food to medicine. It’s out there. (Read more censored news at Censored.news)
