Raw milk is trending for some reason—so are nasty, drug-resistant infections

There’s been something of a renaissance of raw milk in recent years. And, not surprisingly, the dicey drink of bygone eras is also reviving disease outbreaks. In recent years, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have noted that more states have made it legal to get raw (unpasteurized) milk and yearly outbreak numbers linked to unpasteurized dairy have quadrupled nationwide. Today, experts released an analysis of a 2016 multi-drug resistant infection outbreak in Colorado that highlights the growing problem of raw milk consumption—and the challenges that lie ahead. Specifically, the milk in the outbreak was consumed legally while health authorities were ...
President Trump Said in 2015 that He Never Had Flu Shots and Never Had the Flu. Meanwhile Everyone Else Being Pressured to Get These Shots [Full Thread]

By B.N. Frank My deepest condolences to all who have lost loved ones because of “The Flu.” Because there is so much illness right now in the U.S, there has been much debate whether flu shots are effective, not effective, or even harmful. President Trump is known for saying many colorful things. What many haven’t heard is what he said about flu shots in 2015. The flu shot is the greatest scam in medical history, created by Big Pharma to make money off vulnerable people and make them sick. I’ve never had one. And thus far I’ve never had the flu. I don’t like the idea of injecting bad stuff into your body. And that’s basically what they do. ...
Woman nurses kids through the flu, then is diagnosed herself, only to die 3 days later – all of them were vaccinated

Natural News – by Lance D Johnson The flu shot is not just a medical hoax, with a purported 30 percent efficacy rate; it’s also a kind of biological weapon that spreads disease and causes further complications that lead to death. A 37-year-old mother thought she was doing the right thing when she had her two kids vaccinated with this year’s flu shot. After all, advertisements, news stations, pharmacies and doctors all promote the same thing: Flu shots are the best prevention. No one informed this caring mother that the live attenuated virus in the flu vaccine readily reverts to infectious form after injection, causing flu and secondary infections. Consequentially, ...
Jeff Sessions Targets Marijuana Banking, Reignites Fears

Attorney General Jeff Sessions hasn’t launched any raids or prosecutions since he revoked the Cole Memo on Jan. 4, but he’s created the same familiar chaos at the bank — and that might be enough. It’s been more than two weeks since Attorney General Jeff Sessions escalated the federal government’s war on legal marijuana. Anger and resistance, speculation and anxiety, and some histrionics have filled the time since Sessions revoked the Cole Memo, an Obama-era Justice Department policy directive, interpreted as tacit acceptance for (state and local) law- abiding cannabis businesses. But since Sessions’s announcement, the federal government hasn’t followed ...

Gene Ransom’s day was ruined within minutes of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s announcement that he was giving federal prosecutors more freedom to go after marijuana transactions in states that have legalized medical cannabis. “Our phones just blew up,” said Ransom, the chief executive of the Maryland State Medical Society. “We must have had 400 physicians calling to ask us what this was going to mean.” Sessions’s Jan. 4 bombshell came just a month after Maryland launched its own medical marijuana program, further roiling a health-care community struggling with how — or even whether — to bring pot into mainstream practice. Already nervous, ...
Newsweek Hit Piece Calling Organic Food a 'Scam' Authored by Known Monsanto Propagandist

Monsanto, the megalithic corporation responsible for Agent Orange and for inundating the planet with noxious PCBs for years with full knowledge the horrific damage the substances cause to the planet and its inhabitants, finds itself in hot water, again, thanks to a poorly-delivered smear campaign against organic, healthy food — that is, food growing from the ground unassisted by its chemical pesticides and herbicides. Just as many advocates of untreated food have suspected, Monsanto was caught red-handed disguising its own anti-organic propaganda — dangerously misleading and false information warning of supposed damage wrought to the environment through ...
Vaccine Industry PANICS! Vaccinated Kids Keep Dying Of The Flu

Is the vaccine industry in panic mode? They very well could be, especially after kids vaccinated against the flu keep dying of the influenza virus. Mike Adams, otherwise known as The Health Ranger on his YouTube channel recently theorized that the reason this flu season is so horrendous is because of the vaccine industry. And after gathering more information, it looks like he might be right. This year’s vaccine is only 10% effective, yet we’ve all heard we should still get the flu shot because it can “lessen symptoms” if one gets sick. But a few are speaking out against that unscientific claim, which even if you’re all in for vaccines makes little ...
Why Shrooms Are Illegal: Study Shows Psychedelic Experiences Make You Resist Authoritarians

According to a new study from the Psychedelic Research Group at Imperial College London, published in the journal Psychopharmacology, psychedelic mushrooms tend to make people more resistant to authority. They also found the psychedelic experience induced by these mushrooms also cause people to be more connected with nature. “Our findings tentatively raise the possibility that given in this way, psilocybin may produce sustained changes in outlook and political perspective, here in the direction of increased nature relatedness and decreased authoritarianism,” researchers Taylor Lyons and Robin L. Carhart-Harris write in the study. Experiments in the past have had similar results, ...

Jon Rappoport If you worked for a federal agency that was killing people at the rate of 100,000 a year, every year, like clockwork, and if you knew it, wouldn’t you feel compelled to say or do something about it? At the FDA, which is, in fact, killing Americans at that rate, no one has ever felt the need to step forward and speak up. Let’s shift the venue and ask the same question. If you were a medical reporter for a major media outlet in the US, and you knew the above fact, wouldn’t you make it a priority to say something, write something, do something? I’m talking about people like Sanjay Gupta (CNN, CBS), Gina Kolata (NY Times), Tim Johnson (ABC News), ...

At least 759 people died in the US between 7 October and 23 DecemberA deadly flu virus has been killing around 100 people per week in the US since mid-December, the Center for Disease Control has warned. A report published by the CDC with the latest figures showed there were 759 flu deaths between 7 October and 23 December. It also said since early December more than 100 people were dying every week from the flu and the death toll could increase as there has been a further rise in the number of hospital admissions. This is more than double the number of flu deaths from the same period last year when there were only 322 reported fatalities, CBS News reported. An increase in the ...
Can Cannabis Oil Really Treat Seizures?

In 2013, reports that a chemical called cannabidiol (CBD) had reduced the seizures of a 6-year-old girl from near-death levels to almost zero sent desperate patients everywhere on a frenzied quest for treatment. According to several media outlets, Charlotte Figi was suffering 300 grand mal seizures per week and had lost the ability to walk, talk, and eat. Existing epilepsy medication had failed her. But CBD—a component of cannabis that does not trigger the plant's characteristic high—reduced her episodes to a few per month, and, as her parents told reporters, ushered in a full cognitive recovery. By most estimates, existing seizure medications fail about one-third of ...

Rock superstar Tom Petty died of an accidental drug overdose as a result of taking various medications that included opioids, the Los Angeles county coroner and his family said Friday. The beloved musician's system showed traces of fentanyl, oxycodone, temazepam, alprazolam, citalopram, acetylfentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl, according to a statement from Jonathan Lucas, the chief medical examiner for the coroner's office. In a message posted on Facebook, Petty's wife and daughter confirmed he was taking a mix of drugs to treat health issues.

The rise of the cannabis cult: don’t believe the hype about medical marijuana There are few substances that excite discussion quite as potently as cannabis. Explosive claims about its curative power circulate wildly online, often cited by proponents of medical marijuana. A quick Google search for ‘cannabis cures’ yields anecdotes of miraculous efficacy for every illness imaginable, and particularly for cancer. But, despite the gushing testimonials, this persistent narrative of cannabis as a universal panacea is distinctly at odds with the evidence. In a review earlier this year of over 10,000 studies, researchers found reliable evidence for three distinct applications of ...

Smoking marijuana is becoming increasingly legal and mainstream in the United States. More than 33 million adults identify as pot smokers, and teenagers in particular are feeling more comfortable with weed, thanks to its status as a safe drug. That cultural shift may need some rethinking. A new study suggests that there can be potential negative long-term effects of heavy marijuana use — especially if people begin smoking at a young age. Published last November in the journal Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience, the findings are part of a larger effort by scientists at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to better understand the effects of chronic smoking, ...

Doctors are anticipating a particularly bad year of flu as the same strain which struck Australia earlier this year is set to hit the U.S. According to the Daily Mail, over 370 deaths have occurred this year as a result of the flu, but vaccinations are proving to be largely ineffective against the virus. Every year scientists attempt to predict which strain of influenza will become the most virulent in order to create vaccines which protect as many people as possible from the flu. If they guess the wrong strain it could result in a 0% effectiveness rate where if they guess correctly the effectiveness rate could be upwards of 60% or higher. This flu season strain H3N2 is predicted to hit ...

Medical marijuana is not just being used to help humans. The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is conducting a first-of-its-kind survey to learn more about the effects of medical cannabis on pets. Six-year-old Ein is one big ball of energy. Sometimes too much for Emily Duesbury to keep up with. "One of the best investments I've made is starting to use CBD oil with him," Duesbury said. CBD Oil is extracted from the hemp plant and Emily uses it on her puppy at least twice a day, not just for his anxiety, but also to help with pain. "We've noticed that he doesn't hop and skip as much he has an easier time taking longer walks, too," she said. ...

The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially given the tick of approval to cannabidiol, a relaxing compound in medical marijuana, ruling it is not a dangerous drug. The compound, also known as CBD, can be an effective treatment for cancer, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and in palliative care, with WHO now ruling it does not have any risks of addiction. The ruling means that it should not be a scheduled drug – meaning that it is not drug that has a high potential for abuse or is illegal to manufacture or distribute. WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence announced: “Recent evidence from animal and human studies shows that its use could have some therapeutic value for seizures ...

In the past five years, eight states and Washington, D.C., have legalized recreational marijuana for adults. Today, 68 million people live in areas where marijuana is treated like alcohol or tobacco. The drug is sold in stores, millions of tax dollars are being raised from its sale, and an increasing number of businesspeople are profiting in this lucrative new industry. Long seen as either a hippie accessory or a dangerous gateway drug, legal marijuana is booming. Pot is so popular that, in 2015, its sales surpassed Girl Scout cookies, Oreos, and Dasani bottled water. By 2026, analysts predict it will match, and eventually outpace, America’s $50 billion wedding industry. How did this ...

DEA Claims Synthetic THC Made by a Group of Criminals is Safer Than Actual Weed. Seriously

As the Free Thought Project previously reported, one of the manufacturers of a fentanyl drug was exposed for lobbying against marijuana, while simultaneously bribing doctors to push their dangerous opioids. Now, after the federal government granted Insys permission to make a synthetic version of cannabis, they are claiming that it’s safer and more medically valuable than actual weed. Seriously. The DEA recently announced through the federal register that the synthetic THC made by Insys, sold under the brand name Syndros, will be listed as a schedule II drug, meaning it can now be prescribed by doctors. In the meantime, actual THC—containing the exact same properties, but able ...

Veterans returned to the U.S. after fighting in the jungles of Vietnam a half century ago, but hundreds of them may be dying from a silent bullet — a slow-killing parasite living in the men decades after the war, a new study revealed. Liver flukes, parasites that infect a human when raw or undercooked fish is eaten, are being investigated as the cause of a rare bile duct cancer among veterans who served in the Vietnam War. It could take years for symptoms to show up, but when they do, the host is left with tremendous pain and given just a few months to live. The Department of Veterans Affairs this spring commissioned a small pilot study to look into the link between liver flukes and ...
