Coffee is one of the world’s most widely consumed beverages, and previous research has linked its consumption to a lower risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, the biological mechanisms behind these benefits remain unclear. A new Finnish study links habitual coffee consumption to healthier body composition and metabolic markers, while revealing distinct associations with sex hormones in men and women.
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights warned hospitals in Texas that the baby delivered by McKenna West must receive life-saving medical care, the New York Post reports.
West gave birth to the child she has called Baby Gabriel in Dallas on Wednesday in violation of a request by his biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar, 43, and Omar Ahmed, 45.
The couple had asked West to abort the baby after they learned he had hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a treatable heart condition.
Taking the stairs will help you live longer – according to new research from the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
A major new study published today reveals that climbing the stairs significantly reduces the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
Over the course of the study, people who regularly climb stairs were 39 per cent less likely to die from heart-related problems and 24 per cent less likely to die from any cause – compared with people who don’t climb stairs as often.
The study also reveals that people who climbed the stairs were less likely to develop major cardiovascular conditions such as heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
This video demonstrates some very easy exercises to overcome ‘residual vertigo’, something I have had for many months. The exercises worked well for me after just one go, so I am posting this for others who may have this problem. ABN
From what I read, miscarriages went way up after administration of the covid vax to pregnant women in USA, where it was officially encouraged. Infertility in USA has also gone way up due to the mRNA damaging ovaries. The only exception to these horrible results I have seen is the state of Israel, which has statistically shown the opposite. The covid mRNA vax is so bad it looks to me to have been a bioweapon designed to weaken whole populations. It appears to have been aimed at the West and allies of the West who followed our disastrous lead. The covid vax should be withdrawn from the market and exposed for what it has done. It never should have been mandated. I believe many in this administration would agree with those statements, but are stopped from speaking out or doing the right thing by the reality of American politics. They probably believe, and may be right, that pragmatics dictate a gradual approach. ABN
DELIVERING GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to recognize Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations that maximize parental choices over vaccinations for their children and align three categories of childhood immunizations with scientific evidence and best practices from peer, developed countries.
The Order provides recommendations that give parents more information and options when making immunization decisions for their children.
The Order recommends all children get immunizations to provide protection for 11 diseases – a decrease from the 18 diseases recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2024. Immunizations no longer recommended for all children are now recommended for shared clinical decision-making, ensuring that parents have all options available to them.
The Order recommends separating out the combined MMR vaccine into three single-disease shots and recommends administering all vaccines during separate medical visits to give parents more options regarding the timing and frequency of this vaccine administration.
States that enact school vaccine requirements are advised to consider the Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations and consider updating their laws to reflect the recommendations.
All Federal agencies are advised to advance the Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations based on their relevant authorities to ensure Americans have the best scientific information.
The Order maximizes parental choice over childhood vaccines by promoting State compliance with constitutional and Federal law related to parental authority, religious freedom, disability accommodations, and equal protection under the law, including States’ obligations to provide religious and medical exemptions from childhood and adolescent immunization requirement.
The Order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the HHS Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, to present plans to the President to improve vaccine research and options for American parents, including continuous evaluation of the risk and benefit profiles of all childhood vaccines based on U.S. and international data.
When you consider the vaccine topic from a vague ‘national’ and ‘science’ POV, it can appear complex, leading to individual resignation or stubborn belief based on unthinking habituation. When you consider it from a state’s POV or a schoolboard’s, the absurdity of government coercing medical treatments for children is easier to see for what it is. The smaller the state or the dumber the schoolboard, the more obvious it becomes. USA local and state governments are filled with people entirely unqualified to rule on matters like this. When ‘national standards’ are blindly followed, anyone who can read and think understands relevant agencies have all been captured by Big Pharma and Big Money. ABN
UPDATE: I have watched about 3/4 of this video. It provides a detailed and well-presented overview of the glaring absence of proper and legally required medical and security preplanning. An EMT on the scene was actually turned away by Kirk’s ‘security’ team; there were no ambulances for the large crowd (~3,000 ppl); there was no reassessment of the security plan as the crowd grew, and more. Well-worth viewing. No fluff, clearly explained, dozens of facts pointing to probable complicity. ABN
A peer reviewed study found “significant amounts” of mifepristone, an anti-progesterone component of the chemical abortion pill, in the water supply of Austin, Texas, Blacksburg, Virginia and Carbondale, Illinois. Through various tests, the study found that typical water treatment methods were not effective in removing the endocrine disrupting component of mifepristone. The contamination could have serious effects on fertility, fetal development, and pregnancy.
Low dose mifepristone use over time has been found to suppress ovulation and menstruation, and in some cases stop menstruation altogether. Mifepristone’s anti-progesterone effects can cancel out progesterone dosages that women may take for various health reasons, according to the study. The study also says that “low progesterone levels in women have been associated with multiple health problems including lower fertility rates, higher rates of miscarriage, and higher rates of other medical complications during pregnancy.”
Knowing how vaccines work is necessary for understanding which ones are likely to help, which ones are likely to harm, and the forgotten alternatives to immunization the medical industry buried.
Story at a Glance:
The vaccine industry has largely escaped scrutiny because of the belief that “vaccines are safe and effective”—a slogan that treats every vaccine as an identical good and discourages any examination of how vaccines are actually made or how sharply their individual risks and benefits differ.
Here I will review the foundational principles of vaccine design and the clinical implications that I believe are essential for understanding why these products so often fail to live up to their promises and have major safety issues.
Building upon this, I will show how the actual risks and benefits of a vaccine can be calculated (something medicine almost never computes) and why many commonly administered ones rest on very shaky ground that makes it hard to ever justify giving them to anyone.
I will also review numerous core principles of immunology that virtually never enter the vaccine discussion and help to explain why vaccines cause so many different immunological issues.
With this framework, I will provide a guide to assist you in determining the risks and benefit of each vaccine on the CDC schedule and tools for identifying the most toxic and unecessary ones.
Medicine’s religious focus on vaccines has covered up the fact many safe natural alternatives to vaccines exist which can prevent a variety of complex illnesses. Likewise, much in the same way a few vaccines have been used to treat challenging chronic conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, shingles, fibromyalgia), forgotten natural therapies have been as well that both eliminate chronic debilitating illnesses, and provide completely safe methods to make populations immune to problematic infectious diseases.

University of Maryland researchers discovered a new approach to treating venomous snakebites—using the same toxin-blocking proteins that snakes evolved to protect themselves. The team found that specific combinations of blood proteins from western diamondback rattlesnakes provided unprecedented neutralizing power against the venom of multiple dangerous snake species.
“This is one of those great stories when nature has already solved a problem we’ve been grappling with for decades,” said Carroll, who also holds the Andrew and Mary Balo and Nicholas and Susan Simon Endowed Chair at UMD.
A neglected treatment gap
Snakebites remain one of the world’s most neglected tropical diseases. The World Health Organization estimates that venomous snakebites kill 80,000 to 140,000 people each year and leave hundreds of thousands more with permanent disabilities. Many victims live in rural regions where access to effective antivenoms is limited.
USA law should explicitly honor our unalienable right to freedom of choice for all medical treatments, including all vaccines. Mandating vaxxes for school attendance is biowarfare against children. ABN
