The study, which had gone through Vaccine's "extensive peer review process" consisted of dividing 76 female mice into four groups and testing the effects of injecting them with the vaccine. The study's findings were not good press for Merck's Gardasil.

The following is an excerpt from the new book Nation on the Take by Wendell Potter & Nick Penniman (Bloomsbury Press, 2016):
Arsenic, like formaldehyde, can cause health and developmental problems and at high levels is linked to certain cancers. Columbia University professor Joseph Graziano jokes, darkly, that arsenic makes lead look like a vitamin. That's because, as he told the Center for Public Integrity's David Heath, it "sweeps across the body and impact[s] everything that's going on, every organ system." It's in weed killers marketed to fight your lawn's crabgrass, and, in many places, it's in the water we drink.
Investigators found that by stimulating human immune cells called macrophages, curcumin was able to successfully remove Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative bacterium of tuberculosis, from experimentally infected cells in culture. The process relied on inhibiting the activation of a cellular molecule called nuclear factor-kappa B.

Science confirms Turmeric as effective as 14 DrugsFor more information on the many benefits of turmeric and curcumin, see:
Turmeric is one of the most thoroughly researched plants in existence today. Its medicinal properties and components (primarily curcumin) have been the subject of over 5600 peer-reviewed and published biomedical studies. In fact, our five-year long research project on this sacred plant has revealed over 600 potential preventive and therapeutic applications, as well as 175 distinct beneficial physiological effects.

- Turmeric, Curcumin Naturally Block Cancer Cells
- Turmeric is the Anti-Aging, Anti-Oxidant, Anti-Inflammatory Super Spice

But the stuff is expensive. I have the luxury of buying and eating solely grass-fed, pasture-raised meat and dairy, but not everyone can. Most folks have to choose. They have to pick their battles. Today's post will help you choose wisely.
When to buy grass-fed/pasture-raised:
Comment: Another aspect to consider is the variety of toxins that are ingested by, or injected into, factory farmed animals. While these various types of environmental toxins will likely be present in the protein to some degree, for the most part they're present in the fat, so purchasing high quality fat can help one avoid such toxins. So if you're looking to eat healthy on a budget, skimp on the protein and go with a lean cut, then splurge on the fat.

Psychiatry: A Very Special Specialty
Psychiatry, unlike other fields of medicine, is based on a highly subjective diagnostic system. Essentially you sit in the office with a physician, and you are labeled based on the doctor's opinion of the symptoms you describe. There are no tests. You can't pee in a cup or give a drop of blood to be analyzed for a substance that definitely indicates "you have depression" much in the way a blood test can tell you that you have diabetes or are anemic.
Psychiatry is infamous for saying "oops!" It has a long history of abusing patients with pseudoscience-driven treatments and has been sullied by its shameful lack of diagnostic rigor. Consider, for example, the 1949 Nobel Prize winner Egas Moniz, a Portuguese neurologist who introduced invasive surgical techniques to treat people with schizophrenia by cutting connections between their prefrontal region and other parts of the brain (i.e., the prefrontal lobotomy). And then we had the Rosenhan experiment in the 1970s, which exposed how difficult it is for a doctor to distinguish between an "insane patient" and a sane patient acting insane. Today's prescription pads for psychotropic drugs are, in my belief, just as harmful and misguided as physically destroying critical brain tissue or labeling people as "psychiatric" when really they are anything but.

This was a bold new direction for Monsanto, which needed a big change to distance them from a controversial past. As a chemical company, they had polluted the landscape with some of the most poisonous substances ever produced, contaminated virtually every human and animal on earth, and got fined and convicted of deception and wrongdoing. According to a former Monsanto vice president, "We were despised by our customers."
So they redefined themselves as a "life sciences" company, and then proceeded to pollute the landscape with toxic herbicide, contaminate the gene pool for all future generations with genetically modified plants, and get fined and convicted of deception and wrongdoing. Monsanto's chief European spokesman admitted in 1999, "Everybody over here hates us." Now the rest of the world is catching on.

The dietary intake of people in affected areas was reduced from a healthy 2000 calories a day to a measly 580 - a quarter of the "normal" food intake. Unsurprisingly, without a balanced diet, children born to mothers who were pregnant during the famine showed a much lower than average birth weight.
But then something strange happened: their children's children had the same low birth weight, despite their mother's "normal" food and calorie intake.
