Can We Withstand the Trump Administration’s Ongoing Attacks on Health?: Listen to Ted Schettler, MD, MPH, and science director of the Science and Environmental Health Network and the Collaborative on Health and the Environment reveal how the longstanding pattern of refusal to study and regulate toxic chemicals (amplified in the current administration) can further undermine public health— in conversation with Alison Rose Levy.

The flu, bacteria and fungal infections are increasing to exponential numbers. Mutations of infectious organisms occur from natural process, the use of antivirals, antibacterials and antifungals and from other factors. Nutrition is fundamental for a well-balanced and resilient immune system. Join Dr. Michael Wald, The Blood Detective, as he explores the “ins-and-outs” of your immune system and how to optimize …
Is Anthony Fauci the Bernie Madoff of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Charles Ortleb, the former Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of New York Native, debunks the scientific empire that has enriched Anthony Fauci and made him an iconic figure in American science and medicine. Ortleb argues that, like Bernie Madoff’, Fauci has built his reputation on fraud and deceit. For at least two decades, Madoff …
Why are Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients infected with the AIDS-associated Kaposi’s Sarcoma Virus? Did it come from pigs? Why are the CDC, the NIH, and the entire scientific establishment ignoring research that shows Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients are often infected with the very destructive, cancer-causing virus that has been linked to the most dramatic symptom of the early AIDS cases, Kaposi’s …
CORVALLIS, Ore. — A new way of looking at how pollutants ride through the atmosphere has quadrupled the estimate of global lung cancer risk from a pollutant caused by combustion, to a level that is now double the allowable limit recommended by the World Health Organization. The findings, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences …
Cities are driving rapid evolutionary changes to plant and animal species, according to a study published yesterday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Usually, we think of evolution as happening in remote, isolated, or pristine places—the Galapagos Islands, for example. But the new findings suggest that scientists can’t understand evolution as it’s currently occurring without grappling with the …
HOUSTON – (Dec. 15, 2016) – Rapid population decline among vertebrate species began at the end of the 19th century when industrialization was at its peak, according to researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The research was recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “Industrialization …
Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have identified an aerosol that could be used for “solar geoengineering” to cool the planet, while repairing ozone damage at the same time. In a new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists said injecting light-reflecting sulphate aerosols into the …
Is social media good for you, or bad? Well, it’s complicated. A study of 12 million Facebook users suggests that using Facebook is associated with living longer — when it serves to maintain and enhance your real-world social ties. Oh and you can relax and stop watching how many “likes” you get: That doesn’t seem to correlate at all. The …
Now that we know that gut bacteria can speak to the brain—in ways that affect our mood, our appetite, and even our circadian rhythms—the next challenge for scientists is to control this communication. The science of psychobiotics, reviewed October 25 in Trends in Neurosciences, explores emerging strategies for planting brain-altering bacteria in the gut to provide mental benefits and the …
