The (R)evolution of Medicine is Here!
I recently attended one of the most energizing and inspiring events I’ve ever been to, the launch of the second annual Evolution of Medicine Summit.

What Role Does Aluminum Play in Alzheimer’s Disease? Help Fund Historic Research Study
According to Professor Christopher Exley, Ph.D., of the Birchall Centre at Keele University, Staffordshire, U.K., aluminum is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the most abundant metal, yet there is no known use whatsoever for aluminum in the human body (Dr. Paul Offit, the vaccine industry’s most zealous spokesperson, notwithstanding). As a matter of fact, there is no evidence that any living or extinct organism has ever had a biological purpose for aluminum. This implies that, despite aluminum’s abundance, bioavailable forms of aluminum have not been part of the human environment until relatively recent years.

“Good Girls” Don’t Become Great Women
Lately it has come to my attention (yet again) how very much the admonition to “be a good girl” has affected my life, and not for the better. I strongly suspect I am by no means alone on this, so maybe some of this will resonate for you too. The phrase “be a good girl” is usually used to keep a girl child – or even woman – “in her place.” The simple four-word phrase is backed up by the not-entirely-unspoken Good Girls Ten Commandments.

Mandating Meningitis Vaccines Is Bad Economic and Health Policy
As you may or may not be aware, the right of people in general --and parents in particular -- to make informed health care decisions for themselves and their families has been increasingly under attack. Medical kidnapping, the removal of children from their families by Child Protective Services because the parents disagree with a particular doctor's treatment (or lack thereof), is becoming so common as to appear routine. Vaccine legislation has been cropping up all over the country seeking to remove all but the most narrowly defined medical exemptions to the increasingly over-bloated and untested vaccine schedule. Caring, concerned parents who have been asking the questions and doing the investigating…

Anti-Science: You Keep Using That Word. I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.
It has become fashionable in the media recently to lament the apparent lack of faith people have in science today. “Anti-vaxxers,” in particular, are often singled out for censure as “anti-science.” Nowhere is this trend better exemplified than in a March 2015 National Geographic cover story written by Joel Achenbach: “Why Do Many Reason

Top 10 Lies Told During the Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Hearing
Tuesday, February 10, the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee held a Hearing on Vaccine-Preventable Diseases. The hearing was one long propaganda session devoted to getting those who are questioning vaccines to stop doing so. During the course of the hearing, an alarming number of false or misleading statements were made. It’s distressing that such statements were allowed to stand in the United States Senate. So in an effort to correct a whole lot of “misinformation,” I decided to do a Top 10 Lies Told During the Hearing post.

Critical Thinking 201: Vaccine Science
If you’ve been reading our blog for any length of time, you’ll know that we recommend learning everything you can about vaccines, vaccine adverse reactions and their frequency, the means of transmission of each “vaccine-preventable” illness, and the actual likelihood of catching and/or dying from them long before you let anyone come near you or your child with a hypodermic needle.

Wishy-Washy on Vaccines? Thank You!
To many people, I hold “extreme” views on vaccines. Unlike many who question the safety of the current vaccine program, I cannot say that I am aggressively, or even mildly, “pro-vaccine.” I have pored through what seems like mountains of scientific and historical data, and my overall conclusion is that, while vaccines looked and seemed like a great idea, they have been undermining the overall health of the population from the start. It’s quite possible that individual vaccines may have prevented significant numbers of acute infections in the short-term, but at what cost?

Independence and Autism: Viva la Revolution!
Independence. It’s a loaded word in the autism community. The word “autism” was coined because the first “from birth” cases that Leo Kanner encountered in the ’40s appeared to be so self-contained that they had little to no knowledge of, or interaction with, others. A sort of “independence gone wild,” if you will.

Flu Shot Clinic — “Thimerosal Causes Autism-Like Features”
There’s a bite in the air, houses are bright with holiday lights, and the malls are playing Christmas carols incessantly. Yes, it’s that time of year again: flu season. It seems you can’t go anywhere without seeing a sign telling you to get your flu shot right here! Every pharmacy out there just can’t wait to shoot you up.
