Doctors tell us to eat more fiber if we want to stay regular, but chronic constipation is much more to do with not eating enough vegetables and nuts. Chronic constipation, characterized as little or no bowel movement for at least 12 weeks out of the previous 12 months, affects millions of people. But adding vegetables to your plate daily may be enough to prevent the problem. Researchers from Mass General Brigham assessed the diets and bowel movements of around 96,000 middle-aged and older people who were following one of five diets: the Mediterranean diet, a plant-based diet, a low-carbohydrate diet, a standard Western diet and an inflammatory diet, which included processed and sugary foods and drinks. No matter their fiber intake, those who consistently consumed a Western or inflammatory diet…

The Covid vaccines likely killed more children than they saved The Covid vaccines probably killed more children than they saved—and the deaths were unnecessary because the young were never at risk from the virus, one of America’s leading health officials has admitted. In a memo leaked to the press, the official said at least 10 children died as a direct response to the Covid vaccine after they developed myocarditis, allergic reactions and other acute cardiac conditions related to mRNA vaccines. “This is a profound revelation. For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children. Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced, at the behest of the Biden administration, via school and work mandates, to receive a vaccine that…

Big Pharma has seen the future, and it’s called mRNA. The technology—which was first rolled out on a global scale to counter the Covid-19 virus—will be used to develop new vaccines and to combat a range of diseases, including cancer. It’s been recognized by drug regulators as a new class of drug, and the rewards will be staggering, generating revenues that no other industry has ever achieved. Not that the drugs industry is struggling; globally it generates around US$1.7 trillion every year, a phenomenal sum that has accelerated upward with the launch of weight-loss drugs. But these figures will be dwarfed by the revenues that mRNA technology will attract. Oliver Watson, an infectious disease researcher at Imperial College London, has estimated that mRNA cancer vaccines alone could generate anything from…

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a molecule that carries genetic instructions from DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the ribosomes, cellular factories that are made up of RNA (a molecule that copies DNA) and proteins. Lab-created mRNA is clever stuff that’s been developed since the 1960s. “Vaccines” based on mRNA provide the transcripts for our cells to make viral proteins that trigger the immune system to fight anything from viruses to flu and cancer. For example, the Covid mRNA vaccines instructed our cells to make the Covid spike protein. But it’s been a rocky road. Delivering the instructions to the cells has been a hurdle, and preserving the message long enough for the ribosomes to respond has been another problem. The first mRNA vaccines were rolled out in 2015 to…

The Covid vaccines probably killed more children than they saved—and the deaths were unnecessary because the young were never at risk from the virus, one of America’s leading health officials has admitted. In a memo leaked to the press, the official said that at least 10 children are known to have died as a direct response to the Covid vaccine after they developed myocarditis, anaphylaxis and other acute cardiac conditions related to mRNA vaccines. “This is a profound revelation. For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children. Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced, at the behest of the Biden administration, via school and work mandates, to receive a vaccine that could result in death,” said Vinay…

Here’s a novel thought: Eat real food. Yup, not processed, sugary plastic foods, but the real thing. It’s the founding philosophy of the new food pyramid in the US, which is designed to guide Americans toward a healthier diet. Its latest iteration—under the auspices of US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)—is a big departure from the previous version, which was published nearly 15 years ago. For one, it’s now an inverted pyramid with the point at the bottom; for another, grains are no longer the staple of the healthy diet but are now a food group to eat in strict moderation. The emphasis is on fresh vegetables and fruits and saturated fats, which have come in out of the dietary cold.…

As far back as she can remember, Sally Norton was health-conscious. She adopted a vegetarian lifestyle as she entered college, and eight years later, she turned to a full-on vegan diet, which lasted another eight years. In seventh grade, she decided to pursue the field of nutrition, and in the ’80s she studied at Cornell University, where plant-based nutrition was becoming accepted by some professors and many fellow students. Norton was all-in. “We were proudly avoiding salt, fat and meat, gorging on bagels, salads and dishes scored by others as ‘veggie glop,’” she says. But for someone shopping only the fresh food aisles, Norton wasn’t feeling like the model of plant-based health. She had joint and muscle pain, fatigue, and eventually bloat, irritable bowel and a debilitating sleep disorder. When…

ONLY ABOUT 35% OF ADULTS IN THE US AND UK STILL HAVE OXALOBACTER FORMIGENES The human gut is equipped with a special bacterium called Oxalobacter formigenes whose “job” is to break down oxalates in the colon— an especially useful function for a microbe. But because of rampant antibiotic use, processed diets and high-oxalate eating itself, it’s estimated that only about 35 percent of adults in the US and UK still have it.1 That means more than half of us can’t efficiently break down oxalates the way we’re meant to. Studies show that supplementing with O. formigenes reduces oxalates in the body.2 The bacterium has been isolated from the gut of sheep, but it’s not yet widely available in probiotic supplements.
