Combing Through the Science of COVID
Research Links the Western Diet to Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, is a historically Western occurrence. Although mainly a problem in the United States, as the standard American diet has gone global, IBD has become more common across the globe. All that fast food, fat, and sugar could be promoting the proliferation of IBD. A recent study has found that eating…
Mothers’ Milk Positive for Chemicals Causing Birth Defects
In the 20th century, scientists developed a group of complex, manmade chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In the past decade, researchers have found these chemicals contaminating drinking water and the environment. Current research measures them at alarming rates in breast milk. The properties of these substances include oil and water repellency, temperature resistance,…
As Pandemic Eases, Many Seniors Have Lost Strength
Ronald Lundquist, 87, has been active all his life. So, he wasn’t prepared for what happened when he stopped going out during the COVID-19 pandemic and spent most of his time, inactive, at home. “I found it hard to get up and get out of bed,” said Lundquist, who lives with his wife of 67…
Mounting Evidence Supports Use of Ivermectin

Do mobile phones cause brain tumors? Whenever a trillion-dollar industry is involved—whether it’s Big Food, Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, or Big Telecom—there’s so much money that sometimes the science can get manipulated. When it comes to the potential human health effects of cell phone use, certainly, you might end up with a crick in your…
Exposure to Household Chemicals Affects Gut Microbiome
A study out of Washington State University, in collaboration with Duke University, has found the first evidence linking exposure to household chemicals with impacts on the gut microbiomes of children. Published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology Letters, the pioneering study could lead to better awareness of the hazards of repeated exposures to common…
Investigation Finds Toxic Chemicals in Water Across the US
Drinking water safety isn’t often top of mind unless it has made the news, such as the lead crisis in Flint, Michigan. However, the level of contamination in U.S. tap water is very concerning, whether your water supply is from the municipal water system or a well. Just because it looks clear and seems to…
Research Suggests Lockdowns Didn’t Reduce COVID Deaths
A review of data from 87 regions worldwide found that in about 98 percent of the comparisons, there was no evidence that lockdowns reduced the number of COVID-19 deaths. The locking down of healthy people in their homes in order to prevent the spread of disease is an unprecedented public health move that has had…
