In an open letter to the Royal Society (RS), author of the well-researched and fully-referenced book ‘Altered Genes, Twisted Truth’ Steven Druker argued that the prestigious scientific institution has misrepresented the case for GMOs and has effectively engaged in a campaign of disinformation and the smearing of credible research that showed firm evidence pointing to health dangers of GM. He notes that the RS has been a partisan defender of GM foods and embraced a proactive policy on their behalf. Druker argues that several individuals holding prominent positions within the RS – and even the Society itself – have issued misleading statements in regard to GM foods that have created significant confusion and illegitimately downplayed their risks.

Are You Diabetic?
Toe and Foot Health
Hi Tom,
I love receiving your Newsletter they are always so informative and interesting.
I have an infected big toe I cannot cure, can you please advise if you have any helpful tips please. It is not an ingrown toenail it is a infection in the toe where I was cut by a pair of nail clippers whilst having a pedicure. There is a small amount of pus.
I went on antibiotics and that did nothing. I have been rubbing coconut oil on it but just isn’t working.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards

I replied to him that if it were me I would try soaking it in a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide.
Readily available from the chemist.
Seven months later I spotted our email exchange and thought to check back. I emailed him:
How did the hydrogen peroxide go on your toe?
His response:
Worked a treat thank you Tom!
The Drs wanted to operate on my toe!
So thank you once again!
Happy New Year Tom!!
Regards C
I have also had members of my family get rid of chronic toe and foot issues with a soak in hydrogen peroxide.
WHY YOU CAN’T STOP EATING THE TOP 10 MOST ADDICTING FOODS
“Addictive substances are rarely in their natural state, but have been altered or processed in a manner that increases their abuse potential,” states the study. Similar to how grapes are processed into wine or poppies into opium––there is a higher concentration of the addictive agent. Foods that have a significant amount of added refined sugar, fat, or salt can cause a kind of food euphoria, making it much easier to over-consume.
