homeopathy
According to a 2013 article in the Washington Post, the subjects of Jesus Christ and homeopathy are the most controversial subjects on Wikipedia in four leading languages (English, German, French, and Spanish). Sadly, strong evidence of bias against homeopathy (and many other alternatives to Big Pharma) at Wikipedia is significant, and this evidence is provided here.

Not a single one of the 12 stories below are even discussed at Wikipedia, or they are misconstrued and mis-reported with a spin as though representatives from Big Pharma wrote about them in the Wikipedia article. It is no wonder that a significant number of college professors disallow reference to Wikipedia as a "reliable" source of information.

Most of these stories are surveys in many countries throughout the world, are totally non-controversial, and are simply factual. Despite these impressive facts of significant popularity of homeopathy throughout the world and the notable satisfaction from users, the strong anti-homeopathy bias at Wikipedia makes certain that little positive information on homeopathy is provided.

Insulin prices have sparked outrage in recent months, with Congress holding hearings on the issue and launching bipartisan investigations into why the cost of the hormone used to treat diabetes - discovered nearly a century ago - has soared over the past two decades.

The House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee held a hearing on insulin prices this week and will hold another next week. Executives from the three companies that dominate the global insulin market - Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi - are expected to testify at the upcoming hearing.

"We want to know why the cost of this life-saving drug has skyrocketed in recent years, and why they're not offering more lower-cost alternatives to patients," Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), who chairs the subcommittee, said this week.

Does it really pay to spray? The battle against bugs - it's time to end chemical warfare

Does it really pay to spray?
Insects are important wildlife often overlooked in urban habitats. What we do notice are the cockroaches, ants and mosquitoes in and around our homes. All too often we reach for the insect spray.

But not all insects are pests - a wide variety of them help keep our cities healthy. They pollinate plants, feed other wildlife, recycle our rubbish, and eat other insect pests. Insects are vital to our well-being.

Unfortunately, like many other wild animals, insects are under threat. A recent study warned that 40% of the world's insect species face the prospect of extinction, amid threats such as climate change, habitat loss, and humanity's overenthusiastic use of synthetic chemicals.

Are western doctors compelled to support the vaccine industry?

If we take a broad overview of the structure of conventional medicine in our Western societies, we are left with an inescapable conclusion: it is set up as a business, where profit is most highly valued and human health and safety is secondary. The evidence for this is overwhelming and is discussed in greater detail in many of our articles on the subject listed at the end of this article.

This is absolutely not to say that there are not loving, upstanding people who are doctors, researchers, or otherwise as part of the Western medical establishment. Not at all. I believe most of them are. However, when it comes specifically to the family doctors and pediatricians who are trusted by their patients to make recommendations for their patients' health and well-being, there is a limit to how far they can push the boundaries of the highly controlled business structure they find themselves in.

The Body Electric: Ancient wisdom, Modern science

Over the last few millennia wise men in just about every great civilization held life to be a bio-electrical or vibrational energy phenomenon. Their great healers both spiritual and physical instinctively knew that there was a life energy, and that to be well and healthy, this had to be kept in balance.

This bio-electrical or vibrational energy has gone by different names; Elan Vital, Ki, Prana or simply Life Energy. But healers and wise men throughout the ages knew it was a circulating energy and that good health, vigor and happiness depended on a free flow of this energy through one's body.

Each of these cultures core healing arts are based on the concept of balanced or free energy flowing through distinct channels within the human body;
  • Thai Healers call these channels Sen lines.
  • Ayurvedic practitioners call these channels Nadi.
  • Traditional Chinese and Japanese call these channels

Measles Madness: Five things you need to know before freaking out

There's been a lot of drama around these measles "outbreaks" lately. 30 people in Washington, a couple dozen in New Jersey, one person in Oregon... wow, these numbers really sound scary don't they?! The media does their best to heighten the drama using targeted scare tactics...but why?

Many think it may be a new attempt at customer satisfaction. The pharmaceutical industry, which makes and sells childhood vaccines, is a powerful player in the media advertising world accounting for at least 8% of direct-to-consumer advertising. Latest stats say the pharmaceutical industry now spends $25 BILLION a year on advertising.

Comment: Measles scare tactics hurt us all
This attempt at marginalizing and diminishing perfectly reasonable concerns expressed by doctors, scientists and parents, as well as vilifying anyone who questions the wisdom of the current vaccine program is not only unwarranted and unjustified, it is also remarkably stupid and unscientific. The only people profiting from such an approach are those making money from a market projected to be worth $50.42 billion by 2023.

The idea that we know everything there is to know about the immune system and the consequences of an ever increasing vaccine schedule is one few would actually agree with. Let's bear this in mind as we move forward on this issue, and let's learn how to spot the propaganda when we see it. Only then will true scientific method prevail.

Scientists at the Mayo Clinic have seen 'highly significant and dramatic' results from anti-aging drugs trials on both mice and humans. The studies were so successful, in fact, the drugs may be on the market in the next two years.

In tests on mice, the researchers extended the animals' lifespan by 36 percent or the equivalent of 30 human years while keeping their fur glossy and eyes bright.

In human trials on patients with the debilitating condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in which the lungs become scarred, greatly restricting breathing, researchers reported "highly significant and dramatic" results.

Patients who typically never see any improvement in their condition, were able to move faster and further than before after just nine doses over the course of three months.

Researchers identify how artificial light at night may harm outcomes in cardiac patients

blue blocking glasses
© WVUWVU neuroscientists are studying whether wearing glasses with orange lenses at night can improve outcomes in cardiac patients. The glasses filter out blue light, which the researchers tied to inflammation, brain-cell death and greater mortality in a recent study based on animal models.
In a study funded by the National Institutes of Health, West Virginia University neuroscientists linked white light at night - the kind that typically illuminates hospital rooms - to inflammation, brain-cell death and higher mortality risk in cardiac patients.

Randy Nelson, who chairs the Department of Neuroscience in the WVU School of Medicine, and Courtney DeVries, the John T. and June R. Chambers Chair of Oncology Research at WVU, re-created cardiac arrest in animal models. Doing so temporarily interrupted the brain's oxygen supply. Then the researchers and their colleagues divided the models into three groups that would spend their nights in - respectively - dim red light, dim white light and the dark.

After seven nights of this regimen, the researchers evaluated the health of the models' brain cells. Exposure to white light at night caused multiple poor outcomes. The researchers' findings are published in Experimental Neurology.

Comment: Given that the harmful effects of artificial light, particularly at night, are wildly underestimated in mainstream science, it's nice to see researchers exploring the topic. Cheap blue-blocking lenses are a good 'hack' for avoiding these dangers.

O:H header image
Attention seems to be getting a lot of.... attention these days. Whether it be due to the rise in attention deficit and related disorders or because new technological devices seem to be robbing us of this essential resource is difficult to say. Yet the mystics have been telling us about our lack of attention and our inability to recognize this since time immemorial. Is the modern world actually withering away our ability to attend, focus and remember, or are we simply more cognizant of our limited abilities against a modern technological background? Is technology shaping us, or simply reflecting what we already are?

Join us on this episode of Objective: Health, where we discuss attention, memory and focus in its many forms, exploring ways of using and improving attention, taking control of what we attend to and the consequences of not paying attention.

And stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health Segment, where she tells us all about doggie dementia.

Unvaccinated children ripped away from parents in terrifying late night SWAT raid

Warning: If you care about parental rights, this story will infuriate you.

On February 25, a pregnant mother took her 2-year-old son to the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine clinic in Tempe, Arizona because he had a fever of over 100. The doctor instructed the mother to take him to the emergency room because he is unvaccinated and she feared he could have meningitis.

The doctor called the emergency room at Banner Cardon Children's Medical Center in Mesa to let them know the boy would be arriving.

But after leaving the doctor's office, the boy showed signs of improvement. He was laughing and playing with his siblings, and his temperature moved closer to normal. Around 6:30 pm, the mother called the doctor to let her know the toddler no longer had a fever and she would not be taking him to the emergency room.

Comment: And the list of government overreach concerning the vaccination of children - is only getting ramped-up:
