Amaranth: a timeless grain rich in history and health benefits
- Amaranth, cultivated for over 8,000 years, was a sacred Aztec crop used in rituals. Spanish colonizers tried to suppress it, but resilient farmers preserved it, leading to its revival in regions like Mexico, Peru and India.
- A gluten-free pseudo-cereal, amaranth is a complete protein and is high in fiber, antioxidants and essential minerals, qualifying it as a superfood.
- Research suggests amaranth may aid in managing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, anemia and inflammation. It’s also a safe alternative for gluten-sensitive individuals and supports immune function.
- Amaranth’s edible seeds and leaves are used globally in dishes like porridge, gluten-free baked goods, salads and traditional snacks like Mexico’s alegría or Peru’s kiwicha pudding.
- Once nearly erased, amaranth has regained popularity for its nutritional and cultural value, bridging ancient traditions with modern wellness diets.
BUSTED! The FDA itself discloses NUMBERS of deaths from medical drugs—the drugs they approve as safe and effective!
Here we go.
This is as close as anyone is EVER going to get, in showing a government medical agency CONFESSING to mass murder.
You can read the FDA page here: Preventable Adverse Drug Reactions: A Focus on Drug Interactions
Here is the key quote. Don’t skip over it. Read the whole damn thing:
“The first question healthcare providers should ask themselves is ‘why is it important to learn about ADRs [ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS]?’ The answer is because ADRs are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in health care. The Institute of Medicine reported in January of 2000 that from 44,000 to 98,000 deaths occur annually from medical errors. Of this total, an estimated 7,000 deaths occur due to ADRs. To put this in perspective, consider that 6,000 Americans die each year from workplace injuries.”
“However, other studies conducted on hospitalized patient populations have placed much higher estimates on the overall incidence of serious ADRs. These studies estimate that 6.7% of hospitalized patients have a serious adverse drug reaction with a fatality rate of 0.32%. If these estimates are correct, then there are more than 2,216,000 serious ADRs in hospitalized patients, causing over 106,000 deaths annually. If true, then ADRs are the 4th leading cause of death—ahead of pulmonary disease, diabetes, AIDS, pneumonia, accidents, and automobile deaths.”
“These statistics do not include the number of ADRs that occur in ambulatory settings. Also, it is estimated that over 350,000 ADRs occur in U.S. nursing homes each year. The exact number of ADRs is not certain and is limited by methodological considerations. However, whatever the true number is, ADRs represent a significant public health problem that is, for the most part, preventable.”
Really? Preventable? YOU’RE THE FDA. Why haven’t you prevented them?
Why cleaning your water bottle is necessary for your health
- Dirty water bottles often hold millions of bacteria per milliliter, which means your daily hydration habit exposes you to far more microbial buildup than you think
- Biofilm, the slimy layer you feel when wiping the inside of a bottle, protects bacteria and keeps them growing, even when your bottle looks clean from the outside
- Bottles used for drinks other than water, like coffee, tea, juices, or energy drinks, carry dramatically higher contamination levels because sugars and plant particles feed bacterial growth
- Silicone parts in lids, spouts, and gaskets trap odors and residue, but simple tricks like denture-cleaning tablets or low-temperature oven treatment remove buildup and restore cleanliness quickly
- Cleaning your bottle daily with proper tools, thorough scrubbing, and routine deep cleaning ensures safer hydration and helps you avoid symptoms like scratchy throats, stomach discomfort, or aggravated allergies
Inulin-Rich Vegetables Help Protect Your Liver from Fructose Damage
- Fatty liver disease now affects nearly four in 10 adults, but research shows that eating inulin-rich vegetables like onions, garlic, and leeks helps your gut bacteria “consume” harmful sugars before they can damage your liver
- Scientists at UC Irvine discovered that inulin “trains” your gut microbes to block sugar overload, lower liver fat, improve insulin sensitivity, and boost antioxidant defenses that protect your cells from inflammation
- Inulin’s benefits begin in the small intestine, where microbes ferment fiber into compounds that intercept fructose early, reducing sugar spillover into the bloodstream and preventing new fat formation in the liver
- A small daily intake of cooked onions or garlic strengthens your gut-liver connection naturally, helping stabilize energy, reduce bloating, and improve digestion without relying on supplements
- Consistency matters more than quantity — Feeding your gut steady amounts of this natural fiber trains it to defend your liver, balance blood sugar, and support long-term metabolic health

These simple habits could make your brain eight years younger, study finds
New research shows that your brain’s “true age” can shift dramatically depending on how you live, with optimism, restorative sleep, stress management, and strong social support acting like powerful anti-aging tools. Using advanced MRI-based brain-age estimates, scientists found that people with multiple healthy lifestyle factors had brains up to eight years younger than expected — even among those living with chronic pain.
Your birth certificate may show 65, but your brain might be functioning as if it were ten years younger — or older — depending on the experiences and habits that shape your daily life.
A team at the University of Florida reports that optimism, regular high-quality sleep, strong social ties and similar positive influences are closely connected to healthier brain profiles. Their findings indicate that lifestyle choices and stress management can meaningfully affect the rate of brain aging, even among individuals who live with chronic pain.
The study tracked 128 adults in midlife and older adulthood, most of whom had chronic musculoskeletal pain related to or at risk of knee osteoarthritis. Over a period of two years, researchers used MRI scans processed through a machine learning model to estimate each participant’s “brain age” and compare it to their chronological age. The difference between the two, known as the brain age gap, offered a single measure of whole-brain health.
Certain hardships, including chronic pain, lower income, limited education and social disadvantages, were linked to brains that appeared older. However, those associations decreased over time. Instead, protective behaviors such as restorative sleep, healthy body weight, effective stress management, avoiding tobacco and maintaining supportive relationships showed a stronger and more lasting connection to younger appearing brains.

Health Tips
For too long, societal expectations have downplayed the immense physical, emotional, and mental toll that pregnancy and childbirth take on a woman’s body. New studies reveal a critical truth: it takes a woman 1-2 years to fully recover from pregnancy, not just six weeks. This timeline challenges conventional wisdom and calls attention to the need for greater support and understanding for new mothers. The idea that women can “bounce back” in just a few weeks ignores the complexity of the postpartum experience and the deep recovery required after childbirth.
The reality of postpartum recovery is multifaceted, involving more than just physical healing. Emotional and mental health are just as important, with many women experiencing challenges such as postpartum depression, anxiety, and the overwhelming demands of new motherhood. The one-to-two-year recovery period underscores the need for holistic care that addresses both the body and mind, recognizing the profound changes that women undergo during this time.
This shift in understanding also calls for a societal change in how we view and support women during this critical period. Recovery from pregnancy is not just a private matter—it is a collective responsibility. From healthcare policies to workplace accommodations, society must be equipped to support women through their recovery, ensuring they receive the care they need to heal physically and emotionally.
As we redefine the recovery process, it is crucial to dismantle the pressures that women face to “return to normal” so quickly after childbirth. Instead, we must recognize and celebrate the immense strength it takes for women to navigate their post-pregnancy journey and prioritize long-term health over short-term expectations.
This new understanding challenges us to create more inclusive and supportive environments for women, not just in the immediate postpartum period, but throughout their entire recovery journey. By acknowledging the reality of postpartum recovery, we pave the way for a more compassionate and equitable approach to women’s health.
What changes can we make to support new mothers in their recovery? How can we shift societal expectations to create a more realistic and compassionate view of postpartum healing? Share your thoughts and experiences with us, and let’s work together to create a more supportive world for women everywhere.
Rosina Bulwer-Lytton
She married into power and believed, for a time, that intelligence and loyalty would protect her.
It did not.
Rosina Bulwer-Lytton was not a quiet woman. She was sharp, articulate, politically aware, and deeply principled. In Victorian England, those qualities were tolerable in private and dangerous in public. They became unforgivable once she attached them to a powerful man.
Her husband, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, was one of the most influential figures of his age. A celebrated novelist. A member of Parliament. A man whose reputation was carefully cultivated and fiercely defended. To the public, he was brilliant and respectable. To Rosina, he was controlling, dismissive, and increasingly hostile to her independence.
Their marriage was troubled almost from the start. Rosina spoke her mind. She challenged his politics. She criticized his hypocrisy. And when their relationship collapsed, she refused to disappear quietly.
That refusal sealed her fate.
In Victorian Britain, a husband did not need evidence to destroy a wife. He needed only authority and the right language. Edward Bulwer-Lytton used both. He declared Rosina “hysterical,” invoked the prevailing medical myths about women’s instability, and had her forcibly committed to a private asylum.
There was no trial. No medical examination she could contest. No crime she had to commit.
Her offense was public defiance.
Inside the asylum, Rosina discovered the truth she would later risk everything to expose. She was not surrounded by madness. She was surrounded by women like herself. Women who spoke too freely. Women who embarrassed men of influence. Women who resisted marriages, questioned religion, demanded autonomy, or simply refused obedience.
They were restrained, isolated, drugged, silenced. Not because they were ill, but because they were inconvenient.
Rosina endured confinement and survived it. And when she was released, she committed what Victorian society considered the ultimate betrayal.
She spoke.
She wrote about the asylum in detail. She described sane women treated as lunatics. She documented how psychiatry was used not as healing, but as discipline. She named her husband and made his actions public, exposing how easily the label of insanity could be weaponized against wives who challenged male authority.
The backlash was swift. Her reputation was shredded. Her credibility questioned. She was portrayed as bitter, unstable, vindictive. That, too, was part of the system. A woman who told the truth about power had to be discredited, or her words might force change.
Rosina did not retreat.
She aligned herself with reformers, with early suffragists, with those fighting for women’s legal and bodily autonomy. She turned her personal punishment into political testimony. She made it clear that what happened to her was not an anomaly. It was policy disguised as medicine. Control masquerading as care.
She understood something essential. Silence was the real sentence. The asylum was only the method.
By refusing to stay quiet, Rosina Bulwer-Lytton transformed a private act of cruelty into a public warning. She showed how easily women’s anger, intellect, and dissent could be reframed as pathology. How quickly a husband’s discomfort could become a diagnosis. How dangerous it was to live in a society where obedience was defined as sanity.
Her story does not belong to the past.
It echoes wherever women are told they are “too emotional” instead of being listened to. Wherever power responds to criticism by questioning mental fitness. Wherever dissent is medicalized rather than addressed.
Rosina Bulwer-Lytton paid dearly for telling the truth.
But because she told it, the machinery behind her confinement was exposed. And once exposed, it could never again pretend to be benign.
SARS-CoV-2 Infection, the Spike Protein and GzmA: Yet Another Carcinogenic Mechanism
There is a serine protease that is actively secreted by cytotoxic immune cells like Natural Killer (NK) cells and T cells called GzmA. Levels of this protein are implicated in the development of cancer…
…If we look at SARS-CoV-2 infection, we discover that this protease is markedly elevated compared to healthy controls…
…So, what we have seen is yet another mechanism which shows that SARS-CoV-2 is almost certainly an oncogenic virus. One observation I have made over the years is how the virus and its Spike Protein can tip the balance of so many different biological processes. It seems to always find a way to push the “bad” lever when it affects a process that can be either beneficial or pathological in the body.
