Nebraska: Senators attempt to force-fluoridate towns

LINCOLN, Neb. -- The Legislature has advanced a bill that would require fluoride be added to water over the objection of some lawmakers who say the substance is poisonous.

Comment: So, despite:

1) the evidence being presented against fluoridation, and
2) the fact that most communities are already being fluoridated, and
3) many communities have previously chosen to opt-out of fluoridation,

the authoritarians such as Sen. Johnson are trying to introduce legislation to make fluoridation mandatory for all towns over 1000 people. Does this suggest some sort of agenda that might not be in the people's best interest? Even a - dare it be said - conspiracy of some sort?

Vitamin Supplements 'may shorten your life'

Research has suggested vitamin supplements do not extend life and could even lead to a premature death. A review of 67 studies found "no convincing evidence" that antioxidant supplements cut the risk of dying.

Scientists at Copenhagen University said vitamins A and E could interfere with the body's natural defences. "Even more, beta-carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E seem to increase mortality," according to the review by the respected Cochrane Collaboration.

Flashback Hurting you isn't something narcissists do by accident

In all the jabber about narcissism, the worst noise is this idea that hurting you is something narcissists do by accident.

If you get nothing else out of "What Makes Narcissists Tick," get the message that frees you of that ridiculous belief. Which is nothing but a baseless assumption.

I don't ask you to take my word for this. Test what I say when I say that narcissists hurt you on purpose. Anyone can test any narcissist.

Common fears often influenced by genetics, shows twin study

The genetic factors that are associated with fears seem to change as children and adolescents age. According to a report in the April issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry, a JAMA/Archives journal, some hereditary factors decrease in importance while others appear or become more important over time.

During childhood and adolescent development, the nature itself of common fears change. There are two major hypotheses proposed for the genetic basis of this observation. According to the authors: "The 'developmentally stable' hypothesis predicts that a single set of genetic risk factors impacts the level of fears at age 8 years and these same genes constitute the only genetic influences on fear-proneness throughout development." They continue,"By contrast, the 'developmentally dynamic' hypothesis predicts that genetic effects on fear-proneness will vary over time."

How to prevent vaccine injury

It is a colossal failure on the part of our government to not warn parents of the actual risks associated with vaccines. The blind insistence that vaccines are safe and effective is not supported by science, at least for a significant number of our children. There are now 25,000 children per year developing autism (1 in 150), a problem that has expanded in direct proportion to the increase in vaccinations. How do you know if your child is at risk?

The government's primary goal appears to be to prevent parents, en masse, from refusing to vaccinate their children. To prevent such a "run on the public health bank" all caution is being recklessly thrown to the wind. American children are now the most vaccinated people in the world. What are we actually doing? The vaccination problem needs to be objectively solved so that public health is maintained, yet needless vaccine injury is avoided.
