Lexapro and Paxil have been linked to severe birth defects, including heart defects, spina bifida, and autism. Lawsuits reveal that manufacturers knew about the risks but failed to adequately warn consumers. GlaxoSmithKline has paid billions in settlements, but critics argue it’s a fraction of their profits. Natural alternatives, such as therapy, micro-nutrient intake, and exercise, … Continue reading Antidepressants (Lexapro and Paxil) linked to devastating birth defects, lawsuits reveal
Covid vaccine trials led to birth defects and terminated pregnancies, FOIA requests show
Another round of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests has been filled, this time for Moderna’s Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine,” revealing that the mRNA (messenger RNA) shot causes birth defects and spontaneous abortions in pregnant women. Towards the end of the 699-page document release in the toxicology section, it is stated that mRNA-1273, as the company calls … Continue reading Covid vaccine trials led to birth defects and terminated pregnancies, FOIA requests show
VAERS data reveals 50-fold increase in ectopic pregnancies following COVID-19 vaccine shots
Data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) showed 2,620 more fetal deaths after getting the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine than the reported number of fetal deaths from all other vaccines in the past 30 years. One “symptom” tracked is for ectopic pregnancy. Upon performing a search in VAERS for ectopic pregnancies following COVID-19 shots … Continue reading VAERS data reveals 50-fold increase in ectopic pregnancies following COVID-19 vaccine shots
Common plastic additive linked to fertility problems
A study published in the journal PLOS Genetics found that exposure to the plastic additive diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) could cause fertility problems. Led by Harvard Medical School researchers, the study showed that DEHP increases breaks in the DNA during egg production and impairs cells’ ability to repair these breaks. How common plastic additive affects fertility DEHP belongs to a family of chemicals called phthalates. It is … Continue reading Common plastic additive linked to fertility problems
Toxic ingredient in disinfectants can give rise to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, birth defects and more
Experts are raising the alarm about a certain family of chemicals that are found in several commercial cleaning products. Quaternary ammonium compounds, or quats, are charged chemicals that can kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. But though they are effective disinfectants, researchers found that quats can give rise to serious health and environmental problems, including antibiotic resistance, … Continue reading Toxic ingredient in disinfectants can give rise to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, birth defects and more
Propionic acid (PPA) in processed foods may be associated with autism spectrum disorder
A recent study has shed light on another possible cause of autism: processed foods. In their report, researchers from the University of Central Florida explored the possible role of the gut microbiome in developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a lifelong neurological and developmental disorder that begins in childhood. Published in Scientific Reports, their study revealed that exposing neural stem cells to high … Continue reading Propionic acid (PPA) in processed foods may be associated with autism spectrum disorder
Maternal Smoking Epigenetically Harms Child Development
Thankfully, smoking is a habit all pregnant women are advised to break. But, surprisingly, this wasn’t always the case, especially in the 1940s and 1950s when doctors endorsed smoking in tobacco advertisements. Tobacco companies even ran ads hinting that pregnant women could smoke as a way to calm their nerves. With the influx of research … Continue reading Maternal Smoking Epigenetically Harms Child Development
Epigenetic Marks From Parents Could Influence Embryo Development and Future Health
DNA is the blueprint from which most living organisms are built. It makes up the genes that carry the distinctive characteristics and information that determine physical appearance and health, and it makes everybody unique. At the beginning of life, human embryos inherit genes from both their mother and father, and although the actual genes cannot … Continue reading Epigenetic Marks From Parents Could Influence Embryo Development and Future Health
Widespread folate deficiency in women of childbearing age fuels efforts toward mandatory fortification of flour with the vitamin
Pregnancy is a great time to be alive: A woman is nurturing life in her womb, and the unborn baby’s well-being totally depends on her. However, the U.K.’s National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) found that more than 90 percent of the women of childbearing age lack folate, a requirement for preventing birth defects and having healthy babies. Because of … Continue reading Widespread folate deficiency in women of childbearing age fuels efforts toward mandatory fortification of flour with the vitamin
Low carb diets like Atkins, Paleo, Keto associated with reduced intake of folic acid, which increases risk of birth defects
Low carbohydrate diets, such as Atkin, Paleo, and Keto, continue to become popular diets today. However, you may want to avoid these diets if you are pregnant or trying to become one as they could raise the risk of having babies with congenital disabilities, particularly neural tube birth defects, according to a study. The study was … Continue reading Low carb diets like Atkins, Paleo, Keto associated with reduced intake of folic acid, which increases risk of birth defects
