A smorgasbord of natural health stories. From Ronald Hoffman, MD. Poor food choices drive diabetes pandemic: A new study links poor diet to 14 million cases of type 2 diabetes worldwide—in 2018 alone. (In my opinion a gross underestimate if you add in the high percentage of new cases of diabetes that remain undiagnosed, as well as […]
More evidence that environmental exposures are a driver of the obesity epidemic—and another reason to ban PFAS chemicals. Action Alert! A new study found that elevated levels of PFAS chemicals in the blood were associated with weight gain, increasing the already-lengthy list of negative health effects linked with PFAS exposure.

From Moms Across America Throughout human history, insects have been part of the human diet in some cultures. Insects can provide protein, vitamins, and can be prepared like mammal meats.

From Ronald Hoffman, MD If you’re like many of us, this time of year can be both beautiful and vexing. Blossoms begin to adorn our trees, and our cars and patios are coated with a dusting of yellowish-green pollen.

Remember the lipid nanoparticles used to carry mRNA ‘vaccine’ cargo into our cells? Well, it turns out that some metal compounds, like […]
From Ronald Hoffman, MD For centuries, medicine has grappled with psychiatric illness, wielding a variety of techniques. Nevertheless, success has been at best marginal; a recent study of antidepressants and psychotherapy in the treatment of major depressive disorder has shown a response rate of just 24%. For schizophrenia and psychosis, the results have been even more abysmal. […]
From ANH-International Food is big business globally. Into the multiple trillions kind of big.

That is since Monsanto abandoned plans to do exactly that, back in 2004 due […]
