Over 4,000 confirmed cases of chikungunya fever have been reported in southern China since July, with the mosquito-borne virus spreading from Foshan to Guangzhou, Yangjiang and Beijing. The CCP is accused of downplaying the crisis while enforcing strict quarantines. Independent observers suspect case numbers are…
New research suggests erythritol, a popular zero-calorie sweetener, may disrupt brain blood vessel function, increasing stroke risk by promoting clotting and vessel constriction. The study found erythritol spikes harmful free radicals by 75 percent, reduces nitric oxide (essential for vessel relaxation) and raises clot-promoting proteins…
Early cancer screening can produce false positives, leading to anxiety, additional invasive tests and treatments for conditions that may never have caused harm. Some detected “cancers” (pseudodisease) grow so slowly they’d never threaten health, yet current methods can’t distinguish them from aggressive cancers, resulting in…
Story at-a-glance Healthier eating patterns significantly improve cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver fat even when body weight remains unchanged, showing that metabolic benefits occur independently Metabolic markers like insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control improve within six to 12 weeks of dietary changes, providing quick motivation…
Story at-a-glance Inhaling microplastics disrupts your lung’s immune defenses within 24 hours by disabling macrophages, the cells that normally clear out pathogens and waste Once inhaled, plastic particles travel beyond your lungs and accumulate in your liver, brain, kidneys, and colon, raising your risk for…
The decision to appeal came from the solicitor general at the DOJ, who reports to Pam Bondi and the White House. In February, a federal judge ruled against the EPA, concluding that water fluoridation at current levels poses an unreasonable risk to children’s health and…
Story at-a-glance Vitamin D deficiency is strongly linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a growing metabolic disorder that often develops silently until serious damage occurs Research shows vitamin D controls liver function at the genetic level, activating fat-burning genes while suppressing fat storage, making…

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size, found everywhere in the environment, and capable of accumulating in human and animal lung tissues. They can disrupt hormone balance, cause chronic inflammation, create oxidative stress, damage gut health, and even cross the placenta…
Story at-a-glance A specific gut microbiome pattern was found to help predict future heart attacks in coronary heart disease patients, offering a new tool beyond cholesterol and blood pressure monitoring Researchers identified 10 key bacterial strains tied to heart attack risk and created a scoring…
Story at-a-glance Over half of Americans (51%) mistakenly believe digestive issues like bloating and gas are normal, which allows serious underlying gut problems to persist A national survey found 44% of Americans experience digestive discomfort within two hours of eating, yet 75% have never heard…
A study led by Dr. Pankaj Garg found that severe obesity (BMI >40) can make the heart function as if it’s 45 years older, while diabetes in middle-aged patients can add 56 years to heart age. High blood pressure also contributes to premature aging. The…
Parents may be unknowingly exposing their children to toxic chemicals in mattresses that have been linked to dangers such as developmental disorders, cancer, and neurological damage. Studies show that children’s mattresses emit high levels of hormone-disrupting flame retardants, phthalates, and UV filters, which are then…
Story at-a-glance In an open letter, I urge the American Dental Association to discontinue supporting water fluoridation, based on research linking fluoride exposure to reduced IQ scores, ADHD symptoms and thyroid dysfunction Most Western European nations have rejected water fluoridation in favor of education, fluoride-free…
Story at-a-glance Sperm counts have declined by 50% over the last five decades, with poor sperm quality linked to chronic diseases and increased mortality risk A recent study shows men with higher sperm counts live longer on average. Those with more than 120 million motile…
Stress and some conditions can increase cortisol levels. High cortisol can cause symptoms such as weight gain, acne, and fatigue. Doctors may refer to high cortisol as Cushing syndrome or hypercortisolism. Everyone has high cortisol from time to time, and levels vary throughout the day….
