Exposure to a chemical in weedkiller can increase the risk of cancer by as much as 41 per cent, according to a study. The safety of weedkillers containing glyphosate has been the topic of scientific debate – and lawsuits – for years.
Now, in an analysis of past studies, researchers have linked the chemical to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, an uncommon cancer which starts in the white bloods cells. Continue reading

The pharmaceutical industry, as usual, is doing whatever it can to profit off the suffering of Americans. Recent filings show ‘Big Pharma’ spent a record amount of money on lobbying in 2018. While you and your family are struggling to figure out how to pay for prescriptions, pharmaceutical companies are trying to figure out how to dig an even deeper hole in your wallet to make theirs fatter.
This one is not an easy one for me to write. It might be even more difficult for you to read. I know we all run a risk if you simply laugh off what I am about to share with you today.
Medical science has lost a large amount of credibility over the past few years, and that’s because it’s plagued with the politicization and corporatization of science. We can no longer trust our government health authorities to make decisions based on human health and well being, as we are constantly seeing decisions being made based on financial incentives. 
The title of this article might give you the impression that my aim is to frighten you. I assure you it is not. The realities of the pharmaceutical industry are admittedly difficult to swallow, but this is important information given the fact that so many people are taking anti-depressant drugs. While these details may be disturbing, especially if you or someone you know takes anti-depressant drugs, it is important to move past the fear of information and really look at what has happened with the modern day medical industry and the pharmaceutical stranglehold that plagues it today.
If the U.S. health care system was a country, it would have the fifth largest GDP on the entire planet. At this point only the United States, China, Japan and Germany have a GDP that is larger than the 3.5 trillion dollar U.S. health care market. If that sounds obscene to you, that is because it is obscene.
Johnson & Johnson allegedly knew its Baby Powder contained asbestos for decades, a report claims.

It is no secret my opinion of Big PHARMA. I have avoided every prescription I could for many years now as if they are so great then why the softly spoken warnings of all the side effects??? It is like when I was fighting against the introduction of Fluoride into the public water when I lived in TN. After submitting many pages of research against fluoride I finally bought a tube of Crest Toothpaste and took it to the last council meeting I went to. I pointed out the black box warning on the carton about the DANGERS of fluoride and to call Poison Control if need be. 

On October 1, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the final results of a “special assignment” that tested for levels of glyphosate, the weed-killing chemical found in the blockbuster herbicide Roundup. They also posted results for a competing herbicide, called glufosinate, in corn, soy, eggs, and milk during the fiscal year 2016. [1]
I recently got into an argument, again, about cancer. The occasion was a talk by one of my colleagues at Stevens Institute, philosopher Gregory Morgan, on the fascinating history of research into cancer-causing viruses.
