FALSIFYING IT!

Tonsillectomy...

Did you know? Tonsillectomy, although one of the most common surgical procedures performed on children, remains controversial. One reason is that most children do not meet the criteria for the procedure—and for most patients who undergo tonsillectomy, long-term outcomes are not improved.

The tonsils are not simply “extra” tissue. The immune cells within the tonsils help protect the body against bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, making them an important part of the immune system.

My first article on this topic was published in 2016, and research continues to support the concerns I raised then. Studies have linked tonsillectomy with increased risks of esophageal, throat, tongue, and breast cancers, as well as myocardial infarction.

Perhaps it’s time to add tonsillectomy to the long—and growing—list of common medical procedures that deserve a closer look and thoughtful reconsideration.

Many people believe that lack of access to medical care is the reason so many people are unhealthy.

But what if the problem isn’t too little medicine? What if it’s too much?

And while we’re on the subject of becoming more INFORMED…

Mold!
It’s everywhere. You will find it outdoors in damp soil and dirt; in piles of rotting leaves, decaying logs and trees, and in shady wet spots on plants. Inside it grows in showers and tubs and round leaky sinks; in kitchens and basements and attics. Humans have lived with mold since the beginning of human life on earth.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about different types of mold, risks associated with exposure and degree of exposure, and various treatments that are offered for mitigation and their efficacy.

Wednesday, October 7 at 2PM eastern.
We will record it in case you cannot join live.

Tuition $149 OR purchase one month of smoothie ingredients (2 smoothie mix, 2 green tea, 1 flax, 1 brewer’s yeast)

A HUGE Victory Lap for Wellness Forum Foundation's MAFA Initiative 🎉

Click HERE https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/former-senior-niaid-official-pleads-guilty-charges-connected-concealing-federal-records to read the official press release from the department of justice.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced that David M. Morens, a former senior advisor at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), pleaded guilty to conspiring to evade federal records and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the DOJ, Morens and others intentionally used his personal Gmail account rather than government email to conceal communications involving coronavirus research grants, efforts to influence NIH funding decisions, and efforts to counter claims that COVID-19 may have originated from a laboratory. The communications, the DOJ said, involved matters that should have been maintained as federal records.

Morens also admitted to conspiring to accept an illegal gratuity from a grant recipient, including wine, in connection with an agreement to perform an official act—authoring a scientific commentary promoting the theory that COVID-19 had a natural origin. He faces up to five years in federal prison, although the actual sentence will be determined by a federal judge based on sentencing guidelines and other factors.
