Your choice of cooking oil can make a profound difference in your health. I’ve often warned against the use of soybean oil. Not only is partially hydrogenated soybean oil loaded with trans fat, which has been linked to heart disease,1 it’s also a source of an omega-6 fat called linoleic acid (LA), which is highly susceptible to oxidation and is typically from GMO seeds. An estimated 94% of the soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically engineered (GE) to tolerate herbicides, primarily glyphosate (the active ingredient in Monsanto/Bayer's Roundup), which cannot be washed off. As a result, most soybean-based products are contaminated with glyphosate, which compounds their toxicity. The problem results once you start to digest this fat, as you break it down into harmful sub-components called advanced lipid oxidation end products (ALEs) and oxidized LA metabolites (OXLAMs) that can cause significant damage at the cellular level. For example, an ALE called 4HNE is a mutagen known to ca...

The doctor’s office was silent, save for the rhythmic ticking of the wall clock. The air felt heavy, charged with an unspoken weight. As the oncologist cleared his throat, the words that followed shattered the fragile hope clinging to the room. "Stage four." A pause. A breath. A death sentence wrapped in sterile, clinical detachment. There it was—cancer. The monster that had stolen loved ones, that had turned strong men frail and vibrant souls dim. And now, it had come for him. The world blurred at the edges, but the message was clear: conventional treatments would, at best, buy time. Not a cure, just an extension—one measured in months, not years. Chemo, radiation, the cycle of sickness, and the slow decay that followed. But he wasn’t ready to give in. Not like this. Not without a fight. He had a friend who was a veterinarian that suggested the drug.  Fenbendazole. A humble dog dewormer. A compound so unassuming, so ordinary, that it sounded absurd. But within its chemical s...

Bird flu is back in the headlines. For the first time since 2017, a dangerous strain called H7N9 has been discovered in commercial poultry. Over 47,000 chickens on a farm in Mississippi died or had to be put down after testing positive. That’s a big deal. This flu isn’t just deadly for birds. Globally, H7N9 has infected over 1,500 people and killed 616. In other words, almost four out of every 10 people who get H7N9 die from it! The virus spreads through bird saliva, mucus, and fecal matter. It can also stick to surfaces. Touch a contaminated area, then touch your mouth or nose, and you could get sick. Right now, there are no human cases in the U.S. But experts are watching closely. The infected farm was immediately quarantined, and no birds from the facility entered the food system. Still, some zoos are taking action. In Wisconsin, a penguin exhibit was shut down to keep the birds safe. As Dr. Peter McCullough has continually warned, bird flu viruses can mutate. A less threatening str...

A statistical error in the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D has led to inaccurate guidelines with serious public health consequences. The Big Vitamin D Mistake A study titled, The Big Vitamin D Mistake , published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine & Public Health, reported the following: Since 2006, type 1 diabetes in Finland has plateaued and then decreased after the authorities’ decision to fortify dietary milk products with cholecalciferol. The role of vitamin D in innate and adaptive immunity is critical. A statistical error in the estimation of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D was recently discovered; in a correct analysis of the data used by the Institute of Medicine, it was found that 8895 IU/d was needed for 97.5% of individuals to achieve values ≥50 nmol/L. Another study confirmed that 6201 IU/d was needed to achieve 75 nmol/L and 9122 IU/d was needed to reach 100 nmol/L. The largest meta-analysis ever conducted of studies publish...
