Larry Boyer was told he had just six months to live after being diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer.
Not only is this type of cancer one of the world’s deadliest — just three percent of patients survive it — the initial tumor had spread to other organs and triggered the growth of 16 additional tumors.
As a retired data scientist, he knew the odds were against him.
But 18 months later, the father-of-two from Connecticut is alive and, miraculously, cancer-free. Continue reading
He made reference to a September ruling from a judge that ordered the EPA to address fluoridation concerns.

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that former President Donald Trump will seek to end public water fluoridation if he’s elected president.
“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy, who Trump said will be part of his administration if he wins on Nov. 5, wrote in a post on social media platform X over the weekend.
Kennedy then made reference to a landmark September ruling from a U.S. district judge who directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address concerns about whether fluoridation can lead to lower IQ in children. The American Dental Association and related medical groups said they disagreed with the ruling and repeated their recommendation that fluoride be added to drinking water supplies.
“Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” Kennedy wrote on X. Continue reading
July 25, 2018 ~ In today’s technology-filled world, we are surrounded by electromagnetic fields (EMFs), invisible energy fields that affect us up to 24 hours a day. With the growth of wireless technologies, there are more questions every day, with the main one being: Are they safe? Continue reading
Since 1945, fluoride has been added to public drinking water supplies, but research has shown it may pose risks to our health.
When Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first city to add fluoride to its water supply in 1945, the decision was hailed as a major public health innovation aimed at preventing cavities. Many other cities quickly followed suit, and water fluoridation became a widespread practice nationwide. Continue reading
I have believed for a long time that the American Medical Complex and the Consumer Food and Beverage Industrial Complex have little interest in the prevention of disease. It makes far better business sense to let the population eat, drink and smoke to their heart’s content and then offer seemingly high tech and expensive methods for cleaning up the aftermath. In the United States, the food industry alone generates 500 billion dollars in sales: Bacon, eggs, milk, fast food franchises, soft drinks, fried food, dead food, overcooked food, sweets, treats and canned goods.
We have gotten away from simple diets and become human garbage disposals. Sixty percent of the American public is overweight. Clearly the large food conglomerates are successfully marketing to an oblivious public. After feeding your body with dead and processed foods for 20, 30, 40 or more years, things begin to run less perfectly. We have overlooked the processing energy required to digest bacon and eggs each morning, that steak in the evening and the cocktails in between. The result is the current health crisis where one in three will have cancer in their lifetimes — not to mention heart disease. ~ Greg Stirling, Vancouver, British Columbia

Cancer is becoming more prevalent and is also affecting more younger adults. The major risk factors for cancer include high-stress levels, depression, exposure to environmental toxins like microplastics, and unhealthy dietary habits. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers effective methods for cancer prevention and relief.
A 2023 study revealed that between 1990 and 2019, the global number of cancer diagnoses in people under 50 increased by 79 percent, while deaths from early-onset cancer rose by 28 percent. While younger people may recover more quickly due to their overall physical resilience, certain cancers may progress more rapidly due to biological factors. Continue reading
March 17, 2016 ~ There are many trials in this life that we must all face. With the passing of Joey Feek on March 4, 2015, the world lost a true angel. Rory and their daughter have had someone with them, who was truly a rare individual – an Angel here on Earth.
Behind the scenes of “When I’m Gone” recording. Rory wasn’t allowed to sing on this taping (NOTE: A video which is no longer available. ~ Editor). He did NOT like that! It broke his heart, even then, at the thought of losing Joey. . . Little did they know, at the time of the recording, this would be a message from Joey that Rory would need over and over and over again. Continue reading
Fluoride has been an ally in the fight against bad teeth since 1945.
However, some pregnant women and children may be getting more fluoride than they need because they’re getting it from so many sources, according to a review of published scientific literature by the National Toxicology Program.
In addition to public drinking water, fluoride can be found in water-added foods and beverages, teas, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash. Continue reading
But it’s NOT Such Sweet Sorrow!
Whether you call it gas, passing wind, or flatulence, farting is a normal bodily function. In fact, the extra gas in your body *must* come out. But if you have excessive gas and smelly farts, you likely want an immediate solution. You may also be wondering, “why do I fart so much in the first place?”
Excessive gas is extremely common, says Aja McCutchen, MD, a gastroenterologist at Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates and advisor to ModifyHealth. “This is one of the most common issues I see in patients, and it affects a wide range of people across different demographics.”
But whether it’s health related or caused by a specific food (looking at you, broccoli!), it’s worth finding out why you have so much gas all the time. Here’s everything you need to know about why you fart 100 times a day and how to stop. Continue reading
The above graph shows the rise of colorectal cancer in Americans under 50 over the last two decades
The study found patients with high blood-sugar levels were up to 65 percent more likely to be diagnosed with the cancer before age 50 than their peers.
Diabetics were at the highest risk, but those with prediabetes – where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes – were also at an elevated risk.
Experts who analyzed more than 500,000 people’s medical records as part of the study are now calling for ‘tighter glucose control’ to be a priority for young people. Continue reading
September 25, 2024: cancer, Cancer, CANCER!
Across Iowa, people have known for a long time what data is only now beginning to confirm — cancer incidence in the state is outstandingly high.
Iowa became the focus of national attention earlier this year when data showed it had the fastest growing rate of new cancers of any state in America.
That’s more than the Rust Belt states, where lifelong factory work, smoking rates and lack of healthcare puts locals at a higher risk for developing the disease. And more than southern states where rates of obesity, alcohol use and poverty make them more prone to the disease… (Continue to full article)
Table Salt Can Activate Immune Cells Against Cancer
Salt has been used for a myriad of reasons throughout history. Not only did individuals use it to preserve food, but it was also used to garden, to construct new roads, and in religious ceremonies. Salt was even used as a form of currency.
Even today we use salt to flavor food, heal a sore throat, clean metal, remove stains, and relieve bee stings, among others.
While salt is used for all these things, particularly wound healing, scientists are unsure of their systemic impact on immune cells. There is limited research linking immunity with salt, with the exception that large amounts of salt intake are deleterious to the body.
More specifically, scientists were previously unaware of the implications table salt might have on cancer immunotherapy outcomes…. (Continue to full article)
CANCER Has Been Routinely Induced By VACCINES Since 1960
Oh, the insidious cancer industrial complex of America. Do not put anything past it. Vaccines have been dirty, adulterated and contaminated since the onset. You can’t even say the word ‘vaccines’ without some pro-vax-zealot/historian spitting up the name Jonas Salk and that supposed “medical triumph.”
The highly-uncontrolled Polio vaccine experiment, and that’s what it was, of the 1950s and 60s, exposed nearly 100 million Americans to SV40 (Simian Virus 40), a monkey virus that can cause cancer in humans.
Guess what? SV40 catapults turbo cancer. That’s what’s happening now to people who got the mRNA gene-mutating spike-protein injections (Covid jabs). Each dose of an mRNA Covid injection contains millions, if not billions, of copies of SV40 enhancer, as identified in the Pfizer Wuhan Virus stab… (Continue to full article)
New Breast Cancer Screening Requirement Takes Effect: FDA
Women must be informed of their breast density, which is linked to breast cancer risks.
As of Sept. 10, all women undergoing mammography for breast cancer will be informed on the density of their breasts, according to a new update by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
On March 9, 2023, the FDA issued an update requiring all mammography facilities to comply.
Dense breast tissue can make cancer more difficult to detect on a mammogram, the FDA wrote in its statement. Like cancer tumors, fibroglandular tissue appears white on mammograms.
According to the release, approximately half of women over 40 in the United States have dense breast tissue. Dense breasts are also a risk factor for breast cancer development… (Continue to full article)
Signs and Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer
Some people get cancer of the pancreas, the organ in your abdomen that makes digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin. The cancerous mass can interfere with the pancreas’ function and lead to symptoms such as stomach or back pain, jaundice (yellowed skin), diarrhea, nausea, weight loss, and diabetes.
Early in the disease, pancreatic cancer is typically asymptomatic (doesn’t cause any symptoms). Symptoms from pancreatic cancer often start gradually and intermittently, so people may dismiss them. Often by the time symptoms are more significant, the cancer is already large, or it has already spread. This makes it more difficult to treat.
But not everyone with pancreatic cancer will have all these symptoms. Most people who have one of these symptoms have a different medical condition and not pancreatic cancer… (Continue to full article)
How Healthy Is It To Eat Bananas Every Day?
An apple a day keeps the doctor away… but what about bananas?
Whether you’re adding them to your morning cereal or grabbing one to fuel up for a workout, many people regularly incorporate them into their diets on a daily basis. But some people also avoid them. So is it safe to eat them every day? Lauren Manaker, registered dietician nutritionist, filled us in everything we need to know about eating bananas.
First, let’s get to the nutrition. One medium banana, according to the USDA, has about 105 calories, 27 carbs, 14 grams of sugar, 5 grams fiber, and 422 mg of potassium. It’s also a good source of other nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B6, and electrolytes, including magnesium, sodium, and of course, potassium… (Continue to full article)
The Best Foods You Can Eat For A Healthy Liver
The liver is a large organ that comprises about 2% of the average adult’s body weight. Your liver is constantly working to keep you healthy by performing an array of vital functions, such as filtering harmful substances in your blood, breaking down toxins, and supporting metabolism, immune function, digestion, and more.1
Following a nutritious diet rich in foods known to support and protect the liver can help prevent common liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and promote optimal liver function.2
Here are 10 of the best foods for liver health, and other tips for preventing liver disease… (Continue to full article)

18 Foods to Avoid to Reduce Cancer Risk
A lot of research has been done to determine if there are links between cancer risk and certain foods. When isolated in a lab, some food components and chemicals have been shown to increase cancer risk, but these results are difficult to recreate in human populations, making the connection difficult, if not impossible, to prove.
According to the National Cancer Institute, comparing diets between people with and without cancer can show that they differ in their intake of certain things, but the results only indicate that these differences are associated with increased cancer risk, not that they are responsible for it. In other words, people with and without cancer may differ in the things they eat and drink, but they can vary in many other ways, too, which can also contribute to their condition.
Some research has determined that the following foods and chemicals may be associated with an increased cancer risk. However, it is crucial to remember that many factors can contribute to this disease and that avoiding these foods does not guarantee a lower risk of cancer… (Continue to full article)
The Plastic Chemicals Hiding in Your Food
By the time you open a container of yogurt, the food has taken a long journey to reach your spoon. You may have some idea of that journey: From cow to processing to packaging to store shelves. But at each step, there is a chance for a little something extra to sneak in, a stowaway of sorts that shouldn’t be there.
That unexpected ingredient is something called a plasticizer: a chemical used to make plastic more flexible and durable. Today, plasticizers—the most common of which are called phthalates—show up inside almost all of us, right along with other chemicals found in plastic, including bisphenols such as BPA. These have been linked to a long list of health concerns, even at very low levels
CR tested popular fast foods and supermarket staples for bisphenols and phthalates, which can be harmful to your health. Here’s what we found—and how to stay safer.. (Continue to full article)
Broccoli’s Anti-Cancer Compound Could Have a Whole Other Health Benefit
A chemical found naturally in broccoli could one day prevent and treat the blood clots that can lead to strokes – currently the second leading cause of death worldwide.
Platelets play a critical role in plugging up wounds to stop bleeding, but under specific circumstances can also form dangerous clots that block the flow of blood altogether. In life-critical tissues such as the brain and heart, every moment of lost oxygen risks irreparable damage.
A chemical commonly found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and broccoli sprouts stood out for its potential as an anticlotting agent. Called sulforaphane (SFN), the compound has already received attention in the past for its potential in preventing cancer and lowering cholesterol… (Continue to full article)
Billions Aren’t Eating Enough of 7 Critical Nutrients
Here’s how to get them in your diet!
Nutrients such as iron and calcium are critical for blood and bone health, respectively. But more than half the global population isn’t eating enough of these and five other nutrients also crucial for human health, according to a new study.
More than 5 billion people don’t consume enough iodine, vitamin E or calcium, found the study published August 29 in the journal The Lancet Global Health. And more than 4 billion people have insufficient intake of iron, riboflavin, folate and vitamin C… (Continue to full article)
Aspirin should not be taken by those over 60 years old to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, doctors say
A quarter of older adults are still taking a drug that could cause them to suffer from internal bleeding, a study has found.
Aspirin was once recommended for people over 60 in the US as a way to prevent a heart attack or stroke.
But in 2018, medical organizations began to dial back the advice, saying that for those who hadn’t suffered from the conditions before, any benefits were outweighed by the risks — which include bleeding in the intestines or the brain. Continue reading
The Biden administration said Thursday that it had reached an agreement with drugmakers to lower prices on the 10 costliest prescription drugs under Medicare.
It’s part of the federal government’s first-ever drug pricing negotiations, a cost reduction it claims could help ease the financial burden on the estimated 1 in 7 older adults in the U.S. struggling to pay for their medications. Continue reading
