With the laser focus these days on getting a Covid-19 shot, including many stories of heroic efforts to achieve that goal (such as a 90-year-old great-grandmother who walked six miles through the snow to keep her appointment), not much is being said about the potential of being injured from the vaccine itself. And especially not mentioned is one of the…

(Note to readers: Let’s flex our collective consumer power by commenting on a petition just submitted to the FDA to strip MSG of its GRAS status. Details below, as well as a link at the end so you can tell the FDA what you think.) Much has been written on what to eat. Doctors, nutritionists, and foodies of all stripes…
As the novel COVID-19 vaccines speed closer to reality, one vital piece has been left hanging. What assistance will be given to those who find themselves injured or disabled by the shot? Even if a nearly perfect vaccine has been created, it’s a given that some number of recipients will have a reaction to it or suffer injury from the…
Last month I wrote about some scary new changes that the poultry industry is fighting hard to bring about. Industry is hoping to ditch a long-standing USDA regulation that mandates any chickens with lesions discovered during processing must be “condemned” and not sent forth into the food supply. Those lesions, or tumors, which can appear internally or on the skin…
In the midst of a pandemic with a pivotal election fast approaching, I would like to talk to you about chicken. And if you’re a member of the chicken-eating public, it could well affect how you feel about those nuggets, breasts, chicken soups and salads – and all the other ways we feast on fowl. The National Chicken Council (NCC)…
You don’t need to look very hard to find a multitude of studies touting the importance of adequate vitamin D levels. Now, research out of Trinity College Dublin appears to have found a connection between vitamin D deficiencies and high death rates from COVID-19. Recently published in the Irish Medical Journal, the study elicited almost immediate indifference from the mainstream…
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) might be the best kept secret in mainstream medicine. It’s typically reserved for such unfortunate happenings as carbon monoxide poisoning, treating divers with the “bends” (a.k.a. decompression sickness), and to accelerate wound healing.

How is it that a safe, natural substance, one found to bring patients back from the brink of death numerous times, could be dismissed as hype and nonsense when it comes to the Coronavirus? Such is the case with vitamin C – specifically high-dose amounts administered in an IV. Not that this treatment is totally foreign to all U.S. doctors….
Fake Foods – Five ways to make eating a safer proposition in 2020 by Linda and Bill Bonvie With all the mock meat, fake eggs and even bogus proteins making a big splash in 2019, it very well could be remembered as the year of ersatz edibles. But despite all the glowing advertising and discussion of how such plant products…
If you’ve been following the saga of trans fats – the artery-clogging substances created by partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which were once a staple in cookies, crackers, pastries and shortenings – you no doubt know that several years ago the FDA finally got around to developing a slow-motion plan to remove them from the food supply. But despite the fact…
