Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday said he imposed a statewide disaster declaration to prevent the spread of a type of parasitic fly in his state.

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.
vaccine spike protein persistence
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.

detransitioner wins
Malpractice verdicts can change the landscape in medicine. Medicolegal risk reduction is a powerful force in institutional practice. Alter AI assisted in this story.

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.

A Powerful New (and Old!) Treatment for Pain, POTS, MCAS, Lyme and Postinfectious Fibromyalgia

PEA Powder joints
Having studied and treated these conditions for almost 50 years, since a nasty viral syndrome triggered my fibromyalgia and left me homeless in 1975, it's been both a blessing and a challenge to see so many treatments.

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 row back on cellphone safety assurances: New radiation review begins

Federal health officials have removed longstanding public assurances about cellphone radiation safety as the Department of Health and Human Services begins a new internal review of potential health risks tied to wireless technology.

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.

As the world has become increasingly reliant on mobile computing technology for work and entertainment, few people stopped to consider the downstream consequences.

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.

Without fanfare, the Food and Drug Administration has deleted multiple web pages asserting that cellphones are not dangerous. First reported by the Wall Street Journal, the move comes as the Department of Health and Human Services has begun a new investigation into potential health effects of cellphone radiation.

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."

Long-COVID Syndromic Clusters

long covid key word graphic
In this deeply revealing episode of BS Free MD, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh speak with cardiologist and internist Dr. Peter McCullough, a leading scientist investigating long COVID and post-vaccine syndromes. The conversation dives into the evolving understanding of spike-protein-related illness, McCullough's ground-breaking research linking persistent spike protein exposure to long-term disability, and his practical "McCullough Protocol Base Spike Detoxification" approach.

Dr. May Hindmarsh shares her personal struggle: after severe COVID infections, menopause, and hormonal treatment, her health deteriorated — with rapid heart rate, mast-cell activation, histamine sensitivity, anxiety, insomnia, and gastrointestinal distress. She later discovered her blood test showed sky-high anti-spike protein antibody levels (>12,000 U/mL on LabCorp testing). McCullough explains that such titers correlate with circulating spike protein fragments, even years post-infection or post-vaccine. As shown by White et al, unvaccinated long-COVID Spike antibodies are typically less than 2,000 U/L, whereas the average vaccinated patient with symptoms are greater than 11,000 U/L. Levels above 5,000, he says, almost always indicate residual spike in the bloodstream — meaning persistent inflammation, microclots, or autoimmune cascades.

Gene-Based RNA "Vaccines" Have Been Used in Our Food Supply Since 2012

Most Americans assume the "gene-based vaccine era" began with COVID-19. But few realize that a genetic vaccine platform has been deployed in food-producing animals for more than a decade — largely outside of public awareness or mainstream discussion.

evil merck
In 2012, the USDA licensed Merck's SEQUIVITY® platform for use in commercial swine herds. SEQUIVITY is marketed as an "RNA particle" vaccine system designed to deliver genetic instructions so the animal's cells produce targeted antigens. In other words: this is a gene-based injection platform used in pigs raised for human consumption, and it has been circulating in the U.S. pork production ecosystem since the early 2010s.

They didn't attack Joe Ladapo because he was reckless. They attacked him because a calm, credible authority suggested water quality matters, threatening an entire business model built on sickness.

I. The Ladapo "Scandal"

The absolute best Surgeon General in any state's history is Dr. Joseph Ladapo, and there isn't even a close second (though, in fairness, only six states have Surgeon Generals, and the position itself is barely two decades old).

Given we live an hour apart, Lisa and I have gotten to know both Joe and Brianna (and their three little rascals) and consider them both friends. Joe possesses an impressive combination of personality traits, a rare mix of kindness, intelligence, objectivity, courage, and determination. He's one of the most impressive people I have encountered during my Covid journey. And with those traits, it should surprise no one that he was, and remains, one of the most publicly attacked and denigrated figures of the era.

There's a quote commonly credited to George Orwell, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." If that line ever needed a modern case study, Joe Ladapo is it.

Comment: Specific and defining information with a sense of humor amongst the facts. (And we thought we knew about 'water'! )
