- Seventy-five years of peer-reviewed research — including double-blind RCTs published in 2025 — link gluten-containing grains to schizophrenia in an identifiable subpopulation: the 25-30% of patients with elevated anti-gliadin antibodies.
- Ketogenic and grain-free diets have produced documented remissions of schizophrenia at Harvard, Stanford, and McLean Hospital, with multiple RCTs now underway or completed. No journalist who covered Kennedy's remarks contacted any of these researchers.
- Wheat's harm extends far beyond gluten. The Dark Side of Wheat identifies six categories of damage — including WGA neurotoxicity, opioid-receptor disruption, and excitotoxicity — across 335 peer-reviewed abstracts and 229 disease associations. Removing grains also eliminates chronic glyphosate exposure from pre-harvest desiccation.
- The media called the science "unfounded." The word they were looking for was "unread."

- SSRI antidepressants are one of the most harmful medications on the market, and because of just how many people they are given to (often for no good reason as only a minority of patients benefit from SSRIs) they have had a profound effect on the consciousness of our entire society.
- This article will review some of the more common side effects of SSRIs (and SNRIs), such as losing the ability to have sex, becoming numb to life, becoming severely agitated or imbalanced (sometimes to the point one becomes violently psychotic or commits suicide), losing your mind, and the development of birth defects.
- Like many other stimulant drugs (e.g., cocaine) SSRIs can be very difficult to quit. Because of this, patients frequently get severely ill when they attempt to stop them (withdrawals affect roughly half of SSRI users). Worse still, it is often extremely difficult to withdraw from them and very few doctors know how to safely facilitate this.
- Due to widespread denial in psychiatry about the issues with their drugs the common SSRI side effects (e.g., withdrawals) are often misinterpreted as a sign the individual had a pre-existing mental illness and needs more of the drug — which all too often then leads to catastrophic events for the over-medicated patient.
- This article will provide the critical information SSRI patients are rarely warned about and resources for patients already trapped in challenging mental health situations.
Comment: The rest of the Western world is not far behind, and this was before COVID-19:

The New World screwworm isn't yet present in the United States or Texas, although officials say it has been spreading toward the U.S.-Mexico border. Abbot said it can cause potential problems for the U.S. livestock industry if it spreads northward across the border.
"State law authorizes me to act to prevent a threat of infestation that could cause severe damage to Texas property, and I will not wait for such harm to reach our livestock and wildlife," he said in a statement.
The disaster declaration allows him to mobilize the Texas New World Screwworm Response Team to "fully utilize all state government prevention and response resources to prevent the re-emergence of this destructive parasite" and that "Texas is prepared to fully eradicate this pest if need be," he said.
Comment: Cattle producers have been raising the alarm for over six months:
We report the longest documented persistence of mRNA vaccine components to date, independently confirmed across multiple laboratories, biospecimens, and time points using diverse analytical methods.
For years, the public was told that mRNA vaccine materials would degrade within days to weeks — rapidly broken down, biologically transient, and incapable of long-term persistence. That assumption shaped regulatory assurances, public messaging, and safety expectations worldwide. Billions across the globe received these injections based on the claim that the genetic material would quickly disappear from the body.
Today, that narrative collapses — following a coordinated, multi-country investigative effort involving the McCullough Foundation, the INMODIA laboratory (Germany), the Municipal Hospital Dresden-Friedrichstadt (Germany), Neo7Bioscience, and collaborating independent laboratories.
The resulting paper, titled "Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination," presents what is, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive COVID-19 vaccine injury case report to date — involving >40 emergency department visits, >200 specialist encounters across 18 medical disciplines, >100 laboratory investigations, >100 imaging studies, and serial blood and tissue sampling performed at multiple timepoints over more than 3.5 years.

Comment: A graph is worth a thousand words:
In January 2026, Fox Varian v. Kenneth Einhorn et al. became one of the most consequential medical malpractice trials in recent American history. The Westchester County Supreme Court case marked a turning point in how the judiciary addresses the rapidly growing number of detransitioners — young adults who regret irreversible medical interventions performed under the banner of "gender-affirming care."
According to the January 31, 2026 Daily Wire report "Detransitioner Awarded Millions in First Malpractice Verdict: 'This Is How It All Ends'", the Westchester County jury awarded Fox Varian now 22 years old, $2 million ($1.6 M for pain and suffering, $400K for future medical expenses) after finding both her psychologist Dr. Kenneth Einhorn and her plastic surgeon liable for malpractice in performing and facilitating a double mastectomy when she was 16.
On the plus side, most cases can be effectively treated (by natural practitioners). On the other hand, sorting through the options can be quite challenging.
This is usually the case as we learn about complex conditions. As we get closer to the truth, we can tell because things start to tie together and get simpler.
This is happening now. Research is showing the missing link that is common to so many common conditions. Including postinfectious CFS/fibromyalgia (which includes Lyme disease and long Covid), chronic pain of almost every type, sensitivities and MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome).
About 30 years ago I investigated a natural compound called PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) for MCAS. There was a little research, but not enough to impress me. It took me three decades to decide to revisit it. As each study laid a "breadcrumb trail" for me to follow, it painted an amazing story. One that was so fascinating, it kept me up till 4:00 in the morning pulling study after study.

Federal health agencies have quietly rolled back years of public-facing assurances that cellphone radiation poses no health risks, as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launches a new review of the health effects of wireless technology. According to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, webpages maintained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stating that cellphone radiation is not linked to adverse health outcomes were recently taken offline, a move that coincides with a broader HHS-directed study into electromagnetic radiation.
Comment: Unfortunately, cell and smart phones are now such an integral part of modern life, the best one can do is to mitigate the dangers. Leaving the unit on airplane mode when not actively using it, placing the phone at least five to six feet away when not in use, and using air gap headphones, will go some way to help.
Air gap headphones, often referred to as air tube headphones, use hollow tubes to transmit sound instead of traditional wires, which helps reduce exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation. They provide a safer listening experience while still delivering high-quality audio.

Turning Off Internet on Your Phone Improves Attention, Mental Health, and Well-Being in Just 14 Days
A recent randomized controlled trialfound that simply removing mobile internet access — while still allowing calls and texts — can produce measurable improvements in psychological functioning in as little as two weeks. Researchers effectively turned smartphones into "dumb phones," and the results were striking: improved sustained attention, improved mental health, and higher subjective well-being.
This was a month-long preregistered randomized controlled trial with a cross-over (waitlist) design, enrolling 467 iPhone users in the U.S. and Canada. Participants installed the Freedom app, which blocked all mobile internet access (Wi-Fi and cellular data) for two weeks, while still allowing calling, texting, and internet use on other devices like laptops or desktops. Outcomes were measured at baseline (T1), two weeks (T2), and four weeks (T3), allowing researchers to compare changes during restriction periods versus normal-use periods.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has previously declared that cellphones are causing harms that are not yet fully acknowledged. "There's cellphone tumors. I'm representing hundreds of people who have cellphone tumors behind the ear. It's always on the ear that you favor with your cellphone...We have the science," Kennedy said in a 2023 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. "You should never put one next to your head... I put it on speakerphone or use earphones."
