Cries for Help Buried in V-Safe Data
Late last week, Brownstone Institute released a remarkable document. It grew out of a system called V-safe, started by the CDC, built by Oracle, and deployed in December 2020 to underscore how much the government really cared for our health. It would monitor vaccine safety in real time, person by person, and call to help people who experienced adverse events. The purpose of the system was actually to shore up confidence, and pretty much nothing else.
More than 10 million people readily signed up to help the CDC in its monitoring efforts. These were the eager beavers who wanted the shot and were happy to help show how safe it was. They were contacted by the bot the next day, the next, the next week, and so on, up to a year. The form they received depended on the responses they gave.
It was run by machines, not people. No one was reading, though people did not know this. The CDC did not want to release any of it but finally coughed up the check box results. They held onto the really grim stuff: the free text boxes that people filled out. Those had to be obtained by a FOIA issued by the Informed Consent Action Network, finally forced on the CDC by a federal judge.
These responses fell to an organization we support, React19, which assembled them into a document which we then typeset into a 1,048-page book. Warning: it makes for very difficult reading. These are real people, not just statistics. The suffering in these pages is tough to take.
We have used our media access to X to embark upon a full reading of the book live on air. It is taking time. Now 3 two-hours sessions in, with tens of thousands of views, we are only at page 127. This job is going to take weeks. It’s hard reading, dark night of the soul. But the content is uniquely powerful in a way that nothing else truly is.
We hear that the CDC is now panicked about this book and reading.
Good.

Brighter Daytime Light Is Linked to a Lower Dementia Risk
Research suggests that spending more time in bright daytime light was linked to a lower risk of developing dementia, with measurable brightness targets that are often reached outdoors. However, the researchers caution these thresholds may not transfer directly to other populations.
In the study’s machine-learning analysis, bright daytime light ranked as a stronger predictor of future dementia risk than several familiar factors, including alcohol consumption, obesity, hearing loss, and traumatic brain injury.
The strongest association between brighter daytime light and lower dementia risk was found in people already at higher risk, including those with an evening chronotype and people who carry the APOE4 gene variant.
Research suggests sunlight supports your body in ways that extend beyond vitamin D, influencing compounds involved in circulation, mood, sleep, immune function, and your body’s natural daily rhythm.
Building simple habits such as spending time outdoors in the morning, taking daylight breaks during the day, and reducing dependence on dim indoor lighting may be a practical way to support long-term brain health.

7 Gut-Loving Desserts That Actually Taste Amazing
For years, “healthy dessert” meant one thing: take something delicious and start removing bits of it. Less sugar. Less butter. Less of whatever made it worth eating in the first place, until you’re left with something that’s technically fine but nobody actually wants seconds of.
I don’t think that’s the right way to think about it anymore.

Can a Spice Rival a Drug? 10 Head-to-Head Trials Put It to the Test
Ten head-to-head clinical trials — pulled from the GreenMedInfo archive — in which honey, turmeric, saffron, ginger and a handful of other kitchen staples matched or outperformed prescription medications. Each one links to the full research write-up.
For nearly two decades, GreenMedInfo has done one thing most health publishers never bother with: we go into the National Library of Medicine and pull out the studies where researchers put a natural substance directly against a drug — same condition, same patients, same scoring — and then publish what they found.
Those studies exist. There are thousands of them. They just don’t get press releases, because nobody holds a patent on honey.
Below are ten of the most striking. Every one is a human trial. Every one is indexed in our database. And every one links to the long-form article where you can read the methodology, the numbers and the citations for yourself.
A word before we start: this is research information, not medical advice. Several of these trials are small. Some are single studies that have not been replicated. I have flagged which ones have the strongest designs. Read them, bring them to your practitioner, and decide for yourself. That is the entire point of having the archive.

Poop, Peppers and a Mouse in the Brine
The Great Mystery of the Mexican Lettuce
FDA has finally discovered Cyclospora at the Mexican operations linked to this summer’s record-breaking outbreak: one positive sample came from a tank holding outgoing wastewater at the Taylor Farms de Mexico processing plant, and another from a drainage ditch at one of its lettuce growers.
Nearly 13,000 Americans got sick. More than 570 were hospitalized. Two died.
And yet FDA says there is still “not enough evidence to conclusively determine how contamination occurred.”
Really?
Cyclospora is a fecal-oral parasite. Humans are its known host. It gets onto food when human feces contaminate water or soil.
So somewhere between human feces, wastewater, a drainage ditch next to a lettuce field, and Cyclospora showing up in all, lies one of the great unsolved mysteries of modern food safety. The FDA still can’t quite figure out the relationship.
So we made the Venn diagram for them.

Silencing the Alarm: Why GLP-1 Drugs Are the Most Expensive Way Ever Devised to Ignore the Root Cause of Metabolic Disease
A lifelong prescription for a problem no one is trying to solve: a root-cause and risk-benefit reckoning
magine your smoke alarm goes off in the middle of the night. You have two choices. You can find the fire. Or you can buy a subscription service that injects a chemical into the alarm once a week so it stops making noise, while the house keeps burning.
For a growing share of the population, the second option is now the standard of care.
Around 12% of U.S. adults are now taking a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound (Associated Press, citing KFF). In 2025 alone, Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide franchise brought in about $36.5 billion, outselling Keytruda, the cancer drug long considered the most lucrative product in pharmaceutical history (BioSpace). The leading medical societies now say these drugs, once started, are meant for “long-term or lifelong use” (Obesity, 2026).
Read that again. Lifelong. For a condition that barely existed at population scale two generations ago.
That is the absurdity I want to examine. My argument is not that these drugs do nothing; they clearly change the numbers on the scale and on the lab report. My argument is that they do nothing to address why those numbers went wrong in the first place. And once you see the full ledger of risks against that backdrop, the approach looks less like a medical breakthrough and more like an elaborate, profitable way of not asking the obvious question.

The Great Cholesterol Lie and The Dangers of Statins
•There is a widespread belief that elevated cholesterol is the “cause” of cardiovascular disease. However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and the real data shows lower cholesterol significantly increases one’s risk of death.
•An alternative model (which the medical industry buried) proposes that the blood clots the body uses to heal arterial damage, once healed, create the characteristic atherosclerotic lesions associated with heart disease.
•The evidence for the blood clot model is much stronger than the cholesterol hypothesis and provides many critical insights for treating heart disease.
•The primary approach to treating heart disease is to prescribe cholesterol lowering statin drugs (to the point, nearly a trillion dollars have now been spent on them).
•Unfortunately, the benefits of these highly toxic drugs are minuscule (e.g., at best taking them for years extends your life by a few days) and the harms are vast (statins are one of the most common pharmaceuticals that severely injure patients).
•Multiple 2026 studies have further shown statins do not extend the lives of the healthy individuals they are primarily prescribed to, while a new wave of expensive patented cholesterol drugs is being approved simply for lowering cholesterol—many of which are being marketed to the same “statin intolerant” patients the industry insists are imagining their injuries.
•In this article we will explore the specific injuries caused by statin drugs, the forgotten causes of cardiovascular disease, and our preferred treatments for heart and vascular diseases.
