Cindy Sage, environmental consultant, talks about The BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF), which she edited with a team of international scientists.
They document serious scientific concerns about current limits regulating how much EMF is allowable from power lines, cell phones, and many other sources of EMF exposure in daily life.
The report concludes the existing standards for public safety are inadequate to protect public health.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has now crossed the line into asinine idiocy thanks to its new alliance with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), where pink buckets of fried chicken are sold under the slogan, "Buckets for the Cure." I'm not making this up. See the ad image yourself:
This idea that buying fried chicken is actually going to cure cancer is one of the most utterly idiotic health ideas yet witnessed in American pop culture. Komen for the Cure is so far gone from reality that the organization apparently doesn't even think twice about suggesting such an absurd idea. Eat more fried chicken, folks, and then what? Loading up on that kind of a diet is more likely to cause you to kick the bucket than to find a cure for cancer.
Does fried chicken actually promote cancer?
Fried chicken, you see, is coated in starches. The recipe for the KFC chicken batter is basically flour, sugar, salt, black pepper and monosodium glutamate (MSG). All by itself, this is a recipe for chronic degenerative disease because the flour and sugar are highly processed, and the MSG is an excitotoxin that Dr. Russell Blaylock links to obesity, cancer and neurological disorders. And the chicken meat itself? That's another cruel story on top of that (read more below).

After all, it's your body, your test, your money and your health involved right?
According to a new report just published in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology, most doctors surveyed don't think the answer is "yes". In fact, they don't want patients to have direct access to their imaging test results because "it could lead to increased patient anxiety and unrealistic demands on physician time".
You read that right: physicians with a "Big Brother" mindset apparently think people having imaging tests are incapable of dealing with the outcomes without suffering from so much anxiety they must be protected from seeing the results. And, bottom line, these docs just don't want to spend the time answering questions about the imaging test results, anyway.

The findings come from a preliminary analysis of data from the ongoing Prostate Testing for Cancer and Treatment trial (ProtecT), funded by the United Kingdom's Department of Health. Under ProtecT, approximately 250,000 men between the ages of 50 and 69 are undergoing prostate cancer screening and analysis. Only 10 percent of the men being screened had elevated levels of the prostate specific antigen (PSA), which is considered a marker of cancer risk.
ProtecT comes as the United Kingdom considers implementing a nationwide prostate cancer screening program. Yet because the majority of prostate cancers are slow-growing and may never pose a threat to a man's life, growing numbers of medical professionals are questioning this plan.
Prostate cancer treatment can carry severe side effects, including impotence and incontinence.

The tainted salads were not contaminated with more serious bacteria like salmonella or E. coli, but 39 percent of them did contain coliform levels that exceeded 10,000 colony forming units per gram (CFU/g) and 23 percent of them contained enterococcus levels exceeding 10,000 CFU/g. Industry experts generally agree that acceptable levels of these types of bacteria for leafy greens should be below 10,000 CFU/g.
Coliform bacteria does not necessarily come from feces, but high levels of the types found in some bagged salads does suggest that poor sanitation practices likely caused fecal contamination. A few of the samples tested fell into this category, having coliform levels of up to one million CFU/g.
"Although these 'indicator' bacteria generally do not make healthy people sick, the tests show not enough is being done to assure the safety or cleanliness of leafy greens," said Dr. Michael Hansen, publisher of Consumer Reports.

The blast waves from explosions could jolt the skull into generating electricity, potentially damaging the brain, scientists now suggest.
Although the burns and shrapnel wounds that explosions can inflict are their most obvious hazards, perhaps the greatest danger comes from a blast's shock wave. These rapidly generate ripples in a person's innards, potentially causing traumatic brain injuries with deleterious effects ranging from a simple concussion to long-term impaired mental function.
Now scientists have uncovered a surprising possible way by which a blast might affect the brain - electric fields created when bone is hit by a shock wave.
"It's always exciting to look at a phenomenon that may have been missed in the past," said researcher Steven Johnson, a theoretical physicist at MIT. "Moreover, this is potentially an issue that can directly affect the lives of our soldiers , which gives it a special interest for all of us who are involved."

Lie #1) Vaccines make you healthy
Vaccines have emerged as the greatest and most insidious mythology yet fabricated by western medicine. The idea that vaccines protect you from infectious disease is blatantly false in the long term because this year's flu shot actually makes you more susceptible to next year's influenza
On top of that, even the theoretical short-term effectiveness of vaccines is dwarfed by the far more effective protection offered by vitamin D and other immune-modulating nutrients.
Army sergeant Chuck Luther was told his injuries were a result of a 'personality disorder'
After a doctor with the First Cavalry division wrote he was out for "secondary gain," Chuck Luther was imprisoned in a six- by eight-foot isolation chamber, ridiculed by the guards, denied regular meals and showers and kept awake by perpetual lights and blasting heavy metal music---abuses similar to the punishments inflicted on terrorist suspects by the CIA.
"They told me I wasn't a real soldier, that I was a piece of crap. All I wanted was to be treated for my injuries," 12-year veteran Luther told reporter Joshua Kors of The Nation magazine (April 26th). "Now suddenly I'm not a soldier. I'm a prisoner, by my own people. I felt like a caged animal in that room. That's when I started to lose it." The article is called "Disposable Soldiers: How the Pentagon is Cheating Wounded Vets."

Many adults don't realise the amount of sugar in food such as cereals.
Many adults don't realise the amount of sugar in food such as cereals.
Many of them do not even realise how much they are eating because a vast range of processed food and drink, including many ready meals and cereals, are laden with sugar.
Researchers claim food companies in the U.S. have been consistently hiking the sugar content of their products to make them more enticing.
British manufacturers, however, insist they have been reducing sugar levels as part of a drive to improve the health of processed foods.
The U.S. study was the first of its kind to examine the association between the consumption of added sugars and its impact on cholesterol, the dangerous blood fats that clog the arteries.

Many experts urge individuals to avoid any screen activity, regardless of being computer, video games or television, before bed.
Previous studies had similarly reported that playing video games at night has negative effects on sleep as the stimulation keeps one awake even after the game has ceased.
According to the study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, it took teenagers who played violent video games before bedtime only marginally longer time to fall asleep compared to those who watched a relaxing nature documentary.
