On June 15, 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) was interviewed by podcast host Joe Rogan. It was a riveting presentation as the Democratic presidential candidate reviewed his legal career and Kennedy family connections. At the beginning of his career, Bobby Kennedy, a lifetime environmentalist,  sued coal-burning power plants that were releasing mercury into waterways. He lobbied for legislation to protect children against mercury poisoning and gave lectures on the issues. During his lectures, mothers started approaching him afterwards saying they suspected their children had been injured by vaccines containing mercury. They challenged him to investigate. He listened politely, but it wasn't until a mother of a vaccine-injured boy brought an 18-inch stack of published research to his home that he was finally swayed to really look into it. He began to realize that the story science told in the studies was far different from the politically-accepted narrative being promulgated by the medical community and governmental regulatory agencies. 

A study published on June 2, 2023 in The Laryngoscope reported that of the 36 million U.S. citizens diagnosed with COVID-19 in 2021, 800,000 lost and did not regain their sense of smell (loss of olfactory function or anosimia). 540,000 did not regain their sense of taste (loss of gustatory function or ageusia). In addition, the study suggested that approximately 5.2 million and 4.2 million people respectively had only a partial recovery of smell and taste after getting over COVID. The disrupting mechanism is due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus invading and damaging the epithelial (surface) cells responsible for detecting smells and tastes. The damage disrupts the signaling process and leads to loss or alteration of the perception of smell and taste. In some cases, normally appealing flavors can turn repugnant (parosmia). 

Today the United States of America celebrates her 247th birthday. It has been almost 250 years since our divinely-inspired founding fathers issued the Declaration of Independence forming a new nation free from British oppression and tyranny. The Constitution and its accompanying Bill of Rights was written in 1787, ratified by the states in 1788, and operated as the law of the land in 1789 (234 years ago). But today, an assault on the most fundamental principle of our American republic—the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights—is underway. Freedom of speech is being censored and attacked by supporters operating under the cover of a woke culture. They are working very hard to create a one-world government based on a communist model and, as a result, the survival of our country's constitution is hanging by a few threads.

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, collards, cauliflower, and kale contain several plant compounds important for health and immune system support. One of the best compounds within these cruciferous vegetables is called sulforaphane, which is an organic sulfur. Sulforaphane supports many aspects of cellular function including reproduction (cell division) and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Several types of cancer exhibit abnormal apoptosis where cells don't self-destruct and become immortalized in their diseased state. Studies demonstrate that just three servings of broccoli per week can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by more than 60%. But it is also effective against colon, liver, breast, and lung cancer (induced by tobacco). Sulforaphane is a very powerful chemoprotective compound. In addition to sulforaphane, there are other potent phytochemicals inherent in cruciferous vegetables that not only reduce cancer risk but can break antibiotic resistance and bacterial biofilms.

Among all the countries in the world, Taiwan has the highest percentage of people on dialysis treatment. Taiwan is followed closely by Japan and the United States. Learning how to create and maintain healthy kidney function is critical for Americans. Each of your two kidneys is made up of a million little filtration units called nephrons. Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances back to your blood and removes waste. The waste is processed into urine and excreted from the body. Uric acid, creatinine, excess minerals, pesticides, food additives, unabsorbed medicine, alcohol, toxic chemicals, and heavy metals are removed in a vital but demanding and complex process.

The British Journal of Sports Medicine published a new study linking the ability to complete a 10-second, one-legged stance with something called all-cause mortality (death from any cause) in middle-aged and older adults. This means that middle-aged people (and older) who cannot stand on one leg for more than 10 seconds have almost doubled their risk of death within the next decade of their life. The study consisted of 1,702 volunteers (68% male) aged 51 to 75 years old from 2008 to 2020. A total of 20.4% were unable to complete the one-legged stance for 10 seconds. The older the volunteers, the higher the probability of failing the test. After taking gender, age, and underlying conditions into account, the study pointed out that people unable to stand on one leg for 10 seconds had an 84% increased risk of death from any cause in the next decade. This is equivalent to nearly double the risk of people who passed the test. The length of time a person can stand on one leg is related to his or her sense of balance and muscle strength. I immediately had to try this test and fortunately, after a few wobbles, was able to successfully complete it on both legs (one at a time, not both together!).  

Studies published over the years suggest it is wise to avoid milk completely or to consume it sparingly. In his landmark book, The China Study, Dr. Colin Campbell showed that the protein casein in milk was the number one consumed carcinogen on the planet. Regular consumption of this animal protein turned cancer on like a rheostat. The lower the level of casein consumption, the lower the risk of cancer. Additional studies have tied milk to autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, gluten sensitivities, and a host of other problems. Eliminating milk from your diet can seem like an impossible task. But there is hope and science which can help you minimize adverse effects if you just feel your body craving "Got Milk?" If you do opt for a little milk, make sure you get raw milk from local farms that raise their cows 100% grass-fed (no GMO feed!). Pasteurization creates dead milk devoid of anything living and nutritious. And one last note—make sure the milk is A2, not A1. What's the difference? Glad you asked.

Advertising for imposter meats like Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger is becoming more strident. In an effort to convert the public, the genetically modified meat is marketed as healthier and better for the environment. While some of it sounds good on the surface ['plant-based', less harmful than concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) beef production], the devil is always in the details. I will explore some of these issues to help you make a decision that is right for you.

One of the dramatic side effects of the COVID jab is being hidden. Since the mass vaccination campaign began in 2021, cancer patients are younger, recurrence and metastasis are increasing, and tumors are increasing in size. A former intelligence officer and strategist has posted a series of charts on twitter illustrating how cancer deaths are being mislabeled as COVID deaths. 

Del Bigtree of The Highwire and Dr. Ryan Cole, a world-renown pathologist, coordinated an investigation into the contents of the COVID vaccine. They were able to clear up concerns about structures that looked like microchips and nanotechnology in the liquid. Dr. Cole discovered that these confusing structures were actually stacked cholesterol, sugar and salt crystals. What had been described as parasites were actually stellate trikons found on the bottom of leaves and most likely a contaminant picked up during laboratory analysis. This was the good news—but there was plenty of bad news validating the need to immediately stop mRNA technology used in COVID shots. It became clear during their analysis that there was virtually no quality control of the COVID shots. In August 2021, Japan rejected 1.63 million doses of Moderna's mRNA shot due to contamination. Last year the European Medicines Agency (EMA) expressed concern about vials being only 50 to 55% pure. The 100 vials tested by Dr. Cole were also massively inconsistent in the amounts of polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG can cause anaphylactic shock and dysregulate the immune response in many people.
