Humankind: A Hopeful History

Humankind: A Hopeful History

The majority of people all over the world take it for granted that people are bad. But what if we have it all wrong? Dutch historian Rutger Bergman examines findings from the social sciences and argues that research each converges on the idea that people are good by nature. https://thinkr.org/newsletter/humankind-a-hopeful-history

Fluoride Trial Good News!

Sir Austin Bradford Hill Quote

The landmark federal trial pitting FAN and others against the US EPA over water fluoridation came to a dramatic turning point Wednesday. FAN has argued that fluoride’s ability to impact the mental development of both the fetal and infant brain posed an unacceptable risk to millions of Americans (and others) drinking fluoridated public water supplies. The dramatic moment came when, after both sides had completed their summary statements, the federal judge surprised everyone by recognizing the key plank in the plaintiffs’ case and undermining the key argument in the EPA’s case.

The judge said:

So much has changed since the petition was filed…two significant series of studies – respective cohort studies – which everybody agrees is the best methodology. Everybody agrees that these were rigorous studies and everybody agrees that these studies would be part of the best available scientific evidence.

The EPA appears to have applied a standard of causation, which from my read of TSCA is not accurate. It’s not a proper allocation. It’s not the proper standard.

In short, after 20 years of work by FAN and its supporters, and 70+ years of campaigning by opponents of fluoridation since its inception, Wednesday felt like a moment in time where the validity of our objections was finally recognized on a world stage.

According to FAN director Paul Connett, PhD, “While this is not a final victory for FAN it indicates a path forward to achieve that final victory. Needless to say we are very excited about this outcome. We had our 7 days in court. We had some of the best experts in the world testify on our behalf and our lawyers, especially Michael, were brilliant in presenting our case. Here now is the day in more detail. The invisible science is now visible and the voiceless have been heard. It’s official, it’s in the record, and no one can take that away.”

Women With Cancer Awarded Billions in Baby Powder Suit

J and J Baby Powder

A Missouri appeals court on Tuesday ordered Johnson & Johnson and a subsidiary to pay $2.1 billion in damages to women who blamed their ovarian cancers on the company’s talcum products, including its iconic baby powder.

The decision slashed by more than half a record award of $4.69 billion in compensatory and punitive damages to the women, which was made in July 2018.

Johnson & Johnson still faces thousands of lawsuits from consumers who claim its talcum products were contaminated with asbestos that caused cancer. The company announced last month that it would stop selling baby powder made from talc in North America, though it would continue to market the product elsewhere in the world.

“A reasonable inference from all this evidence is that, motivated by profits, defendants disregarded the safety of consumers,” the court said.

(Tom: So they are going to stop selling it in litigious US but still harm women in the rest of the world? Boycott this company and it’s products. They are as unethical as the pHarma giants. Hang on, aren’t they in line to make the vaccine for COVID-19?)1

Report Release: Estriol’s Status in Serious Danger

HRT

Patient health and safety is at stake. A review of the clinical literature concluded that bioidentical hormones are associated with lower risks, including the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, and are more effective than synthetic or animal-derived hormones. On the other hand, studies have consistently demonstrated that synthetic hormones are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Synthetic and animal-derived hormones have also been shown to produce negative cardiovascular effects and to negate the cardio-protective effects of estrogen.

5 Qs with Zach Bush and Sacha Stone

Sasha Stone and Zach Bush

Zach Bush has done some brilliant research to explain exactly why this particular virus has caused what it has, why we contributed to the lethality of it by poisons, toxins and maltreatment, and, even more importantly, how to reverse our present vulnerability.

A really must watch presentation!

You cannot fail to be more optimistic after listening to this!
