Back in 2010, the journal Europe PMC published a study outlining the extensive criminal history of Pfizer, one of the most corrupt pharmaceutical companies in the world. The relevancy of this study today cannot be overstated, especially as millions of Pfizer-BioNTech’s experimental Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccines are being plunged into people’s arms daily. Can this multi-billion-dollar corporate behemoth really … Continue reading Pfizer a “habitual offender” that “persistently” engages in illegal activity, study warns
Epigenetic Study Finds New Potential Drug Targets for Asthma and Allergies
A new epigenetic study has identified 30 genes connected to allergies and asthma that make people more susceptible to these conditions. Using the newly discovered gene targets from this study, scientists could potentially create drugs to combat allergic diseases and reduce allergic responses. About 6.8 million children and 18.7 million adults in the U.S. suffer … Continue reading Epigenetic Study Finds New Potential Drug Targets for Asthma and Allergies
DNA Methylation Gives Epigenetic Hope to Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Not only is cocaine a highly addictive drug, but it also comes with an incredibly high chance of relapse even after someone has abstained and experienced symptoms of withdrawal. A new study is illuminating the epigenetic changes made to DNA during the withdrawal stage for those trying to rid themselves of the drug and offers … Continue reading DNA Methylation Gives Epigenetic Hope to Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Do We Already Have A Drug That Could Epigenetically Erase Traumatic Memories?
Scientists at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine discovered that the drug fingolimod, which is used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), could potentially benefit individuals who wish to get rid of painful and traumatic memories. While MS is still not entirely understood, the disease involves a process that is immune-mediated in which the immune … Continue reading Do We Already Have A Drug That Could Epigenetically Erase Traumatic Memories?
FDA trying to establish new drug-like approval system for dietary supplements that could eliminate tens of thousands of them
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced plans to drastically alter the way dietary supplements are regulated, and your help is needed to protect the industry from this attempted government takeover. When the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was passed back in 1994, it came with a new dietary ingredient (NDI) provision requiring the FDA to be notified … Continue reading FDA trying to establish new drug-like approval system for dietary supplements that could eliminate tens of thousands of them
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria may be hiding in some leafy greens, warn researchers
A study presented at the American Society for Microbiology conference has warned that plant foods can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or superbugs. In particular, hard-to-wash vegetables such as lettuce may be hiding these microorganisms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 20 percent of the two million annual superbug infections are linked to agriculture. However, this estimate only accounts for … Continue reading Antibiotic-resistant bacteria may be hiding in some leafy greens, warn researchers
The stigma around mental health is KILLING men: How to care for someone who is struggling with mental illness and addiction
According to Mental Health America, at least six million men in the U.S. are affected by depression annually.

In the same vein, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism notes that 62,000 men die due to alcohol-related … Continue reading The stigma around mental health is KILLING men: How to care for someone who is struggling with mental illness and addiction
Nicotine Could Cause Epigenetic Changes to Testes and Compromise Fertility
Despite the countless destructive health consequences and carcinogenic properties of cigarette smoke, the CDC estimates that 40 million adults in the United States currently smoke cigarettes. The toxic chemicals are capable of causing damage to nearly every organ in the body and can lead to the development of cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer. Researchers continue to … Continue reading Nicotine Could Cause Epigenetic Changes to Testes and Compromise Fertility
