The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now launched a safety label change warning of the dangers of Tylenol in pregnant mothers. The FDA also announced approval of leucovorin, a form of folic acid suggested as a treatment for autism symptoms. The medical community, in collusion with public health officials, has long pointed to a ‘blame-the-victim’ approach, saying it was just children with unlucky genetics – a nod to eugenics musings and insulting to families looking for answers.

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take action on pharmaceutical advertising. The United States is one of only two countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to the consumer. The other one is New Zealand.

Thomas Sowell, one of the most incisive thinkers of our time, warned repeatedly about the dangers of intellectuals detached from real-world consequences. Though he rarely addressed medicine directly, his insights are strikingly applicable to today's healthcare crisis-a system dominated by academic elites, rigid guidelines, and centralized authority, while practical, patient-centered wisdom is sidelined. Nowhere is this intellectual overreach more harmful than in modern medicine. Medical Contri...

WASHINGTON—JULY 18, 2025—U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio today issued a Joint Statement of formal rejection by the United States of the 2024 International Heath Regulations (IHR) Amendments by the World Health Organization (WHO). The amended IHR would give the WHO the ability to order global lockdowns, travel restrictions, or any other measures it sees fit to respond to nebulous “potential public health risks.” These regulations...

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released its 2025 Dirty Dozen list, a “Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce,” and it serves as a solid reminder that we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to cleaning up the food system. This year, the report found that more than 75 percent of non-organic samples tested positive for at least one pesticide. And get this: Topping the list on the basis of the level and toxicity of detected pesticides were green beans, spinach, bell peppers and ho...

Whether applied to your lawn, public spaces, orchards, or farmland, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides are nearly impossible to avoid. These chemicals are used worldwide and are found in the food you eat, water you drink, and air you breathe. While manufacturers claim they are safe for human exposure when used as directed, your body still must detoxify and repair from their impact. Overall pesticide use in 2022 reached 4.2 million metric tons, which is an 80 percent increase from 1990. Chi...

The MAHA report highlights four indisputable drivers of unhealthy children—ultra-processed food, toxic chemical exposure, screen-driven stress, and rampant prescription drug use—yet skirts around or ignores other intertwined factors. Action items listed in the report focus on “more research” instead of bold levers that could actually reverse disease trends. By avoiding hard fights with Big Ag, Big Pharma, and Big Tech, the report risks becoming another half-measure unless policymakers overhaul ...

Despite over $40 billion spent on Alzheimer’s drug development—most notably anti-amyloid antibody (AAA) drugs with minimal impact and major risks—natural interventions like B vitamins and omega-3s show far greater promise in reducing brain shrinkage and slowing cognitive decline. Contrary to fatalistic views about genetic inevitability, lifestyle factors—such as diet, exercise, supplementation, and stress management—can significantly reduce Alzheimer’s risk. Research shows nearly half of cases m...
