RNA Spray Crops vs. GMOs: A Physician’s Warning on Terrana Biosciences
Terrana Biosciences, launched by Flagship Pioneering, the creator of Moderna, received a $50 million initial investment and government approval for experimental-use authorizations, raising ethical and public health alarms. The company pioneers RNA-based agricultural traits throughout a “proprietary technology platform”. The company claims that their approach will empower farmers with “…precise, adaptive solution to combat threats to crops in fields and orchards and enhance resiliency,...
Medical Genetic Engineering and Our Children’s Safety
As a pediatrician and advocate for children's health, I recognize that gene therapies for rare conditions like spinal muscular atrophy or Duchenne muscular dystrophy are often held up as evidence of the promise of genetic engineering. While some of these therapies have shown potential in some rare clinical conditions, they do not justify the uncontrolled expansion of genetic manipulation across medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. These technologies remain largely experimental, with...
Moms Across America has Tested Public School Lunches for Toxicity and Nutritional Value, and the News is Not Good.
Moms Across America (MAA) is a nonprofit consumer group founded by Zen Honeycutt that advocates for lifestyles that support good health and longevity. A particular focus of the group has been the issue of pesticide contamination in foods, especially the pervasive herbicide glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup).
TNT Radio: Dr Michelle Perro on What’s Making Our Children Sick?
Although foods derived from GE crops have gone from non-existent in 1994 to ubiquitous in nearly 3 decades, not a single study has compared humans who eat them to those who don’t. It is clearly in the public interest to enable science-based decisions about foods and food-like ingredients derived from GE crops and animals in our diets. Research on the untoward effects of GE crops on human and animal health, as well as their effects on the environment, should be undertaken.
Bt and GMOs
Introduced into our food supply without study or accountability, limited data shows significant evidence of inflammation and health harm.
Farming without Herbicides
GMOs have failed as a technology as the constant use of herbicides as the only weeding strategy has caused the development of many species of herbicide-tolerant super seeds. The response has been to genetically modify more crops to be tolerant of multiple toxic herbicides. This has dramatically increased the use of these pesticides with all their adverse health and environmental outcomes.
A Cut Above: The Many Benefits of Grass-Fed Meat
The nutritional and environmental benefits of consuming grass-fed meat, including improved human and soil health, are discussed by RHI guest writer, Melissa Diane Smith. An explanation on how to interpret ‘Grass-Fed’ labels is a must-read for our eaters/readers.
7 ways to instill healthier eating habits in your kids—and why it matters
Eating a whole-food organic diet, free from processed foods, is imperative in creating a healthy internal milieu for your child and family members. These habits create life-long excellence in decision making regarding food preparation and choices, especially when the birds leave the nest.
Well Being: Organic Food
Dr. Robert Malone, physician scientist, and inventor of the mRNA technology presently being promoted, once a self-proclaimed skeptic of organic food consumption, does an 180 degree about-face and shares a thorough and thoughtful analysis on why glyphosate-based herbicides are harmful to our health
Project Highlight: Northeast Grass-Fed Beef Initiative
The Northeast Grass-Fed Beef Initiative partners with farmers to support transitions to regenerative, cattle-based systems that help restore ecosystem health and revitalize rural economies. Regenerative Methods Regenerative grazing and pasture management practices can...
With 1 in 5 Kids Now Obese, Pharma Sets Sights on $50B Market for Weight-Loss Drugs
Originally published on Children's Health Defense Twenty-two percent of U.S. children between the ages of 2-5 and 12-19 are obese compared with 18% a decade ago, according to a new analysis of nationwide health survey data. That means 1 in 5 kids are now obese. The...
Regeneration Revolution – The Formation of Regeneration International and Regeneration Health International
Originally published in Masters of Health Magazine Hardly anyone had heard of regenerative agriculture before 2014. Now it is in the news every day all around the world. A small group of leaders of the organic, agroecology, holistic management, environment, and...
