The Vision Crisis No One Wants To Talk About
Has your vision deteriorated sharply over the past couple of years?
If the answer is “yes,” you are probably another victim of a global health crisis that eye doctors refuse to acknowledge…

Billions With Nutrition Deficiency!?
Almost no one gets enough selenium. Officially, at least a billion — with a B — people have a selenium deficiency.1

With their harsh pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and single-crop strategy, these massive farms have stripped the nutrients out of the soil. No nutrients in the soil mean no nutrients in the food.
All of this makes it difficult — if not impossible — to get even some of the daily selenium you need to ...

Court Rules EPA Must Regulate Harmful Drinking Water Contaminant Linked to Infant Brain Damage
A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Environmental Protection Agency must regulate perchlorate, reversing a Trump-era rollback on a drinking water contaminant linked to brain damage in infants.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled unanimously in an appeal brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council last year after the EPA, under the Biden administration, stood by the rollback. Two judges wrote that the EPA had no authority to withdraw from a 2011 determination that perchlorate should be regulated.
Circuit Judge Florence Pan, in a concurring opinion, went further...
