  • Grains: General Mills Cheerios Original and Success 10 Minute Boil-in-Bag White Rice.
  • Infant Food: Gerber Mealtime for Baby Harvest Turkey Dinner, Similac Advance Infant Milk-Based Powder Formula, Beech-Nut Fruities Pouch Pear, Banana & Raspberries, and Gerber Cereal for Baby Rice.
  • Meat and Poultry: Perdue Ground Chicken Breast, Trader Joe’s Ground Pork 80% Lean 20% Fat, Premio Foods Sweet Italian Sausage, and Libby’s Corned Beef.
  • Packaged Fruits and Vegetables: Del Monte Sliced Peaches in 100% Fruit Juice, Green Giant Cream Style Sweet Corn, and Del Monte Fresh Cut Italian Green Beans.
  • Prepared Meals: Annie’s Organic Cheesy Ravioli, Chef Boyardee Beefaroni Pasta in Tomato and Meat Sauce, Banquet Chicken Pot Pie, Campbell’s Chunky Classic Chicken Noodle Soup, and Chef Boyardee Big Bowl Beefaroni Pasta in Meat Sauce.

Saving the Apple’s Ancient Ancestor in the Forests of Kazakhstan

The foothills of Kazakhstan’s Tian Shan mountains are something of a genetic wonderland. This vast mountain system forms the border between China and Central Asia, and between its higher spruce-covered slopes and its lower poplar trees are dense patches of woodlands, ones brimming with walnuts and wild fruits. These include apricots, cherry plums and pears, as well as Malus sieversii, a wild apple—the primary ancestor of the modern apple—that’s been growing in this region for thousands of years.

Thousands of apple varieties—crunchy, thick-skinned Fujis, which originated in Japan in the 1930s; aromatic Galas; and rare Pink Pearls—exist in the world today, many of them bred for their distinct flavor, color and texture. Turns out the bulk of these domesticated apples can be traced right back to Kazakhstan’s Malus sieversii. Despite the variety, however, only 15 types of apples account for 90 percent of apples grown throughout the United States. These specialty crops are especially susceptible to diseases like apple scab, a fungal ailment that attacks both a tree’s leaves and fruit with unsightly lesions, and outbreaks of highly infectious fire blight, which can kill entire trees outright.

“Wild apple populations have a far greater gene diversity than within any domesticated variety,” says Robert Spengler, author of Fruit From the Sands: The Silk Road Origins of the Foods We Eat, meaning the key to apple survival just may lie along the Tian Shan foothills.

Dr Geert Vanden Bossche on ‘White Lung’ pneumonia

direct link

Geert is saying the same thing as before—that a more deadly and infectious strain of the virus will decimate the vaccinated. The difference this time is he believes this will happen soon. His advice to the vaxxed is start taking antiviral prophylactics now. Don’t wait because the virus will come on very rapidly and vaxxed have zero immunity.

For the unvaxxed, he advises continue to mingle with people to keep your immune system strong and up-to-date. Unvaxxed who are healthy should have no problem with the new strain. I can understand wondering about Geert and maybe paying less attention to him because what he is saying has not happened (yet). But I also admire him for having the courage and integrity to make a prediction based on his experiences with animal herds and sound the alarm as loud as he can. That is the self-sacrifice of a highly ethical man. He will face ridicule to protect others. Respect. PS: I am not a doctor so watch the video and do not rely on my synopsis. ABN

A Review of the Pharmacokinetics of Levothyroxine for the Treatment of Hypothyroidism

Abstract

Thyroxine hormone has been recognised since the early part of the nineteenth century and levothyroxine has been available since the mid-nineteenth century as a replacement for deficient thyroid hormones. While levothyroxine remains the staple treatment for hypothyroidism even to this day, its optimal use can be challenging. As is often the case with older drugs, the pharmacokinetics of levothyroxine is often under-appreciated or misunderstood and many factors influence the optimal dosing of levothyroxine. This article will review the pharmacokinetics of levothyroxine in the treatment of hypothyroidism and highlight major concepts that should aid both clinicians and researchers.

New Zealand: Shocking revelations regarding covid vaxxes

In this New Zealand post-election update, Liz Gunn discusses shocking revelations regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. A clinician mathematician has reviewed the data and confirms that there are tens of thousands of deaths linked to the jabs. The data shows clusters of deaths among people who received the vaccine on the same day at the same location. This statistical evidence calls for a full-blown criminal investigation, with all associated individuals’ computers, phones, and information seized. The government had prior knowledge of the side effects, contradicting the narrative of the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. Liz Gunn urges the public to demand an end to the vaccine rollout to prevent further harm.

How To Detox From Fluoride

In today’s world, fluoride is hard to avoid completely. Here’s how to detox your body.

Adding fluoride to the water supplies has been called murder on a grand scale. But whether or not your town adds it to your drinking water, you’re probably ingesting this toxin every day.

You’re exposed to fluoride if you take prescription drugs like Prozac, swim in pools, or sit in hot tubs. It’s in conventional produce like lettuce, and commercial bread and bakery products. It may be in beverages like iced tea, wine, and beer made with municipal water, or in infant formula. And of course it’s in toothpaste. It may even sneak into your food from Teflon coated pots and pans.

In addition to increasing the risk of death, fluoride also calcifies the pineal gland and hardens the arteries. And it increases the risk of hypothyroidism.

Minimizing your exposure to fluoride is important. But in today’s world, this toxin is hard to avoid completely. That’s why it’s critical to detox your body from fluoride.

FENBENDAZOLE and CANCER

FENBENDAZOLE and CANCER – at least 12 Anti-Cancer mechanisms of action. Not approved by FDA. Cheap. Safe. Kills aggressive cancers. Why no Clinical Trials?

I review 9 research papers proving anti-cancer effects of Fenbendazole.

Benzimidazole drugs (including Fenbendazole) have widely been used as anti-helminth agents in both human and/or livestock since the 1960s

Due to their low cost and high efficacy, benzimidazole anthelmintics have been used throughout the world

‘Inverse vaccine’ reverses autoimmune diseases like MS, diabetes & arthritis

Researchers have developed an “inverse vaccine” that reverses the damage caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy organs and tissues in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. It could pave the way to a treatment for these diseases that doesn’t require suppressing the entire immune system.

Normally, a vaccine teaches the body’s immune system to recognize a viral or bacterial invader as an enemy that needs to be destroyed. Now, researchers from the University of Chicago have created an “inverse vaccine” that does the opposite.

The novel vaccine removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule, which, when fighting pathogens, would be undesirable but, in the context of autoimmune diseases, may prove to be a cure.

It’s the job of the immune system’s T cells to recognize specific foreign antigens on the surfaces of unwanted cells and launch an attack against them. However, T cells can sometimes get it wrong. In the case of autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis, the T cells become self-reactive, mistakenly considering healthy organs and tissues to be foreign organisms.

The researchers were aware of the importance of the liver in mediating local and systemic tolerance to self-antigens and foreign antigens. They exploited the organ’s natural mechanism of marking molecules from broken down cells with a ‘do not attack’ flag to prevent autoimmune reactions to cells that die by natural processes. By coupling an antigen with a molecule resembling a fragment of an aged cell, the liver recognized it as a friend rather than an enemy.
