What flu shot effectiveness really means
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve no doubt noticed the onslaught of signs and advertisements literally everywhere telling you to “Get your flu shot!” And, right about this time of year, studies of flu shot effectiveness are typically conducted…and whether you hear about those studies on the news depends on the results of said studies. After all, the pharma-funded mainstream media can’t risk ticking off their primary source of advertising revenue with...
Going gray? Here’s why (and how you fight it)
I’d like to talk today about what has been considered one of the inevitabilities of life. Gray hair. Ah, yes. Few subjects will make a woman cringe as much as the thought of going gray, and the hair color industry is very happy that you feel that way. Of course, men go gray too, but it’s long been said that gray hair makes a man look distinguished and a woman look old. I’ll let...
10 warning signs you shouldn’t ignore

The health scare no one talks about
While it seems to be the current focus of our national health agencies to scare the bejeezus out of people talking about the flu, COVID, monkeypox and whatever other viruses they can point a finger at, there is a glaring failure in how these agencies “serve and inform” us. I’m talking about chronic disease. Currently, half of all adult Americans, and shockingly 54 percent of our children, have at least one chronic disease (according...
Beware! This is even more dangerous than sugar!
Important announcement at the end, please read through. I would suspect that you probably remember me talking countless times in the past about the dangers of sugar, especially “sugar” in the toxic form of high fructose corn syrup. Sugar is a driving force behind a plethora of diseases and conditions including diabetes, insulin resistance, cancer, heart disease, obesity, dementia, immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation, to name a few. And it’s no coincidence that our...
Are your meds making you sicker?
Although there are times when medications are necessary and appropriate, as a society we’ve gone way overboard and are increasingly relying on drugs to “create health” for us. I’ve heard people say things like they are in “good health” because their blood pressure is controlled with beta blockers, their cholesterol is under 200 with statins, proton pump inhibitors keep their acid reflux quiet, and sedatives help them sleep. THAT’S good health? No—that’s a chemically...
