It was January 25, 1945 when officials first added fluoride to the drinking water of Grand Rapids, Michigan. After that, the practice spread across the country and the world. In 1976 the Netherlands removed fluoride after a national review, determined the risks outweighed the benefits, and the majority of European countries followed. Here in the US, the practice still continues. The only two states with the ban on fluoride are Utah and Florida. Hawaii, New Jersey, and Oregon

Why Are People With This Gene Being Targeted?

At least 40% of the population carries the MTHFR gene or some variation of it. Those of us with this gene mutation do not methylate B vitamins into a usable form.

These synthetic vitamins accumulate in the body and create a literal shit storm in the system. Our bodies require folate, yet the industry gives us folic acid. Our bod

Hiding the Cures

It was 1953, and a researcher at the Bayer Chemotherapy lab developed a compound designed to kill snails.

In 1982, it was formally approved by the FDA to treat tapeworms and was listed on the WHO's list of essential medicines. It has been used to safely treat millions of people, but it was quietly pulled from the shelves in 199
