U.S. taxpayers funded a campaign to dox foes of pesticides and GMOs. Controversy rages over the sweeping powers afforded Elon Musk in rooting out DOGE-y government programs, especially at USAID. But here’s one that most assuredly deserves defunding. Long before DOGE was launched, Lighthouse Reports, a consortium of public interest journalists, undertook an investigative report (“Poison PR”) in collaboration with the UK Guardian newspaper that highlighted the role of a U.S. taxpayer-funded PR operation in building a database of environmentalists.

Three blood sample vials resting on a laboratory form.
Q: I’ve just embarked on my therapeutic diet and supplement program to help correct metabolic abnormalities pertaining to inflammation, blood sugar and my lipid profile (which is out of whack) as well as micronutrient deficiencies that were found like B12 and vitamin D.  At what point to do I follow up with new blood tests to monitor my progress?

I used to be an osteoporosis screening “hawk”; I fell in line with the conventional wisdom that sussing out premature bone loss with a DEXA bone densitometry was a must for women hitting menopause, when bone loss begins to accelerate.

For years, folks have been using local raw honey to decrease symptoms of seasonal allergies. The mechanism of action is the presence of small amounts of pollen from nearby plants in honey, which help the immune system desensitize to these allergens over time.

Our body possesses a very sophisticated and efficient endogenous detoxification system. A multitude of detoxification processes are working simultaneously, day in and day out, to maintain the body’s homeostasis. This equilibrium is obtained by getting rid of xenobiotics (environmental foreign elements entering the body) and by eliminating the normal waste created by our own bodily functions, mainly through the liver, kidneys, the gastrointestinal tract, as well as through respiration and perspiration.

The science of you, working better.

There’s a crucial molecule in your body that helps control your circulation, your energy, your stamina, your heart—even your sharpness of mind. It’s called nitric oxide.

After age 40, your body makes less and less of it. That means less blood flow. Less stamina. Less of you. But now there’s N1O1 nitric oxide lozenges, developed by Dr. Nathan Bryan — the world’s leading nitric oxide researcher.

I take them twice a day, especially before my workouts, to support healthy circulation and boost oxygen delivery to my muscles and brain. 

N1O1 is designed to naturally restore your body’s nitric oxide levels, and goes to work in minutes, releasing nitric oxide directly into your bloodstream, and helping you feel the way you’re supposed to feel.

More energy. Better blood flow. Sharper focus. Day after day.
