Now semi-decomissioned, radioactive waste continues to leak from its 177 underground tanks containing roughly 55,000,000 gallons of highly radioactive “heavy” water. This is likely the biggest U.S. nuclear crisis you have never heard of.
Admittedly, this Fukushima style facility (of which quite a few exist in the US) has only failed to contain 68 of its 177 tanks. This crisis continues to pollute the Colombia River today, and has gotten worse as whistleblowers continued to be fired.

Fluoride’s neurotoxicity has been the subject of academic debate for decades, and now a matter of increasingly impassioned controversy among the general public, as well. From ‘conspiracy theories’ about it being first used in drinking water in Russian and Nazi concentration camps to chemically lobotomize captives, to its now well-known IQ lowering properties, to its ability to enhance the calcification of the pineal gland – the traditional ‘seat of the soul’ – many around the world, and increasingly in the heavily fluoridated regions of the United States, are starting to organize at the local and statewide level to oust this ubiquitous toxicant from municipal drinking water.

Last year the Swiss Medical Board conducted a review of mammography screening and their findings exposed something rather unexpected. They assessed that these screenings cause more harm than good. In fact, via their studies, they found that the screenings really only saved 1 in 1000 women who died. On the contrary, the failure of the process, or unsafe side effects, were the actual greater concern.

Eliminating foods does not heal. Nutrition does.

Anyone who’s paying attention knows it’s a very good idea to eat green, leafy vegetables and colorful citrus fruits. Over time, research has shown their association with reducing cancer and chronic disease. In fact, most of us know that we should be consuming multiple helpings of these foods each day. 

But which vegetables are best? Fads come and go as quickly as that kale in your fridge. One day it’s broccoli, the next cabbage. And how do you compare the benefits of vegetables versus fruits?

Researchers at William Paterson University in New Jersey have done all of us a big favor by producing a list of “powerhouse fruits and vegetables” ranked by the amounts of 17 critical nutrients they contain.
In a study published in the CDC journal, “Preventing Chronic Disease,” the foods are scored by their content of fiber, potassium, protein, calcium, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin D and other nutrients all considered important to public health.

Atop the list? Watercress – long known as a superfood because it packs large amounts of a wide variety of these important substances, with a score of 100. The next five in the elite category: Chinese cabbage (91.99), chard (89.27), beet greens (87.08), spinach (86.43) and chicory (73.36). The full chart is below.

And beware the high oxalic acid content of raw greens. As one commenter wrote: “But, I am confused. After being raw vegan off and on for years, I lived on leafy greens in my smoothies, salads etc. I almost lost all my teeth, apparently due to the extremely high oxalic acid.”

Cooking greens reduces the oxalic acid. Sadly it also reduces other heat sensitive nutrients like vitamin C.
Being well hydrated and a daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids are also very effective in preventing oxalate deposition.
