Doctors Explain How Hiking Actually Changes Our Brains
While it may seem obvious that a good hike through a forest or up a mountain can cleanse your mind, body, and soul, science is now discovering that hiking can actually change your brain… for the better!
Hiking in Nature Can Stop Negative, Obsessive Thoughts
Aside from the almost instant feeling of calm and contentment that accompanies time outdoors, hiking in nature can reduce rumination. Many of us often find ourselves consumed by negative thoughts, which takes us out of the enjoyment of the moment at best and leads us down a path to depression and anxiety at worst. But a recent study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that spending time in nature decreases these obsessive, negative thoughts by a significant margin.
To conduct this study, researchers compared the reported rumination of participants who hiked through either an urban or a natural environment. They found that those who walked for 90 minutes in a natural environment reported lower levels of rumination and they also had reduced neural activity in the subgenual prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain related to mental illness. Those who walked through the urban environment, however, did not report decreased rumination.
The researchers noted that increased urbanization closely correlates with increased instances of depression and other mental illness. Taking the time to regularly remove ourselves from urban settings and spend more time in nature can greatly benefit our psychological (and physical) well-being.
Hiking While Disconnected From Technology Boosts Creative Problem Solving
A study conducted by psychologists Ruth Ann Atchley and David L. Strayer found that creative problem solving can be drastically improved by both disconnecting from technology and reconnecting with nature. Participants in this study went backpacking through nature for about four days, during which time they were not allowed to use any technology whatsoever. They were asked to perform tasks requiring creative thinking and complex problem solving, and researchers found that performance on problem solving tasks improved by 50% for those who took part in this tech-free hiking excursion.
They also noted that both technology and urban noise are incredibly disruptive, constantly demanding our attention and preventing us from focusing, all of which can be taxing to our cognitive functions. A nice long hike, sans technology, can reduce mental fatigue, soothe the mind, and boost creative thinking.
Hiking Outdoors Can Improve ADHD in Children
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is becoming more and more common among children. Children who have ADHD have a difficult time with impulse control and staying focused, get distracted easily, and exhibit excessive hyperactivity.
While raising children who have ADHD can be difficult for parents, the usual solution — opting for prescription medication — may be doing more harm than good, particularly when natural solutions can work just as well.
A study conducted by Frances E Kup, PhD, and Andrea Faber Taylor, PhD, found that exposing children with ADHD to "green outdoor activities" reduces symptoms significantly. The results of this study suggest nature exposure can benefit anyone who has a difficult time paying attention and/or exhibits impulsive behaviour.
Hiking In Nature Is Great Exercise and Therefore Boosts Brainpower
We already know that exercise is fantastic for our overall well-being. Hiking is an excellent way to burn between 400–700 calories per hour, depending on your size and the hike difficulty, and it is easier on the joints than other activities like running. It has also been proven that people who exercise outside are more likely to keep at it and stick to their programs, making hiking an excellent choice for those wishing to become more active on a regular basis.
Researchers from the University of British Columbia found that aerobic exercise increases hippocampal volume — the part of the brain associated with spatial and episodic memory — in women over the age of 70. Such exercise not only reduces memory loss, but helps prevent it as well. Researchers also found that it can lower stress and anxiety, boost self-esteem, and release endorphins. Many people take medication to solve each and every one of these issues, but the solution to these ills may be a lot simpler than you think!
How Can You Begin Hiking?
Luckily, hiking is one of the easiest and least expensive sports to get involved in, and it can have great benefits for the whole family, including grandma! Start out small and test your abilities. Do what works for you; if that means just walking through trails in a park, that's fine. Any exercise outdoors is better than none. You can easily find maps of trails around your home online, and there are plenty of smartphone apps to map them out, too. I recommend turning off your signal and your phone while hiking though, so you can reap the most benefits of the hike (though it may be wise to at least carry it with you in case of emergency).
Make sure you have some good sturdy hiking shoes, a hat, and a water bottle, and be sure to layer your clothing so you can take things on or off easily as you warm up and cool down. You may want to consider using trekking poles as well, which can increase your speed and take some of the pressure off your knees. Now, can you just do one thing for me?
Go take a hike!

New Study Shows How Eating A Western Diet Impairs Brain Function And Leads To Overeating
Elias Marat, The Mind Unleashed
Could it be that our Western-style diet laden with saturated fats, added sugars, and processed grains could actually impair our brain functions while weighing us down with a tendency to continuously over-indulge?
According to researchers, this is very much the case. Gluttonous diets in the West could transform otherwise healthy and slim young people into mildly scatter-brained overeaters.
The new study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, is among the first studies looking into how the Western diet impairs memory and appetite control in humans.
The results of the research are shocking and show how high-fat, high-sugar diets caused volunteers to perform worse on memory tests while nursing a continuous craving for junk food even after they had finished a meal. In fact, the desire for junk food only grew after they had eaten the meal.
The research suggests that self-control in regards to food consumption is harder for those who cling to a Euro-American or Western diet, with the array of foods involved in the diet causing havoc for the hippocampus—the part of the brain which regulates memory and appetite control.
Richard Stevenson, study co-author and psychology professor Macquarie University in Sydney, told the Guardian:
"After a week on a Western-style diet, palatable food such as snacks and chocolate becomes more desirable when you are full.
This will make it harder to resist, leading you to eat more, which in turn generates more damage to the hippocampus and a vicious cycle of overeating."
To investigate the Western diet's impact on humans, researchers recruited 110 participants aged 20-23 who were generally lean and healthy and stuck to a good diet. The group was split into one control group that ate their normal diet for a week, while the other team was assigned a calorie-heavy western-style diet filled to the brim with fast food and Belgian waffles.
At the beginning and end of the week both groups ate a breakfast in the lab that was bookended by word memory tests and rating how much they enjoy sugary foods like Froot Loops and Coco Pops, as well as how much they want to continue eating them.
Prof. Stevenson noted that their findings suggest the disruption of the hippocampus by the foods. He added:
"The more desirable people find the palatable food when full, following the Western-style diet, the more impaired they were on the test of hippocampal function."
Continuing, Stevenson explained that when the hippocampus isn't functioning to its full capacity, memories flood the brain which makes food more appealing than it should be—even when our bellies are full. The findings echo earlier research done on animals which showed junk food's ability to impair the hippocampus.
While there is no concrete reason as to why this is the case, the hippocampus is known to block out or blur our memories and daydreams about tasty food when we are full.
Scientists now fear that the subtle impairments caused by our sugary, processed diets could lead to long-term effects including increased tendencies toward obesity and diabetes, both of which have been linked to dementia and cognitive decline.
Stevenson feels that in light of the findings, governments are likely to find themselves in a position to control the unrestricted consumption of junk food as a simple matter of public safety—not unlike government attempts to restrict the smoking of tobacco.
Stevenson added:
"Demonstrating that processed foods can lead to subtle cognitive impairments that affect appetite and serve to promote overeating in otherwise healthy young people should be a worrying finding for everyone."
Yale Study Reveals 1 In 3 Drugs Have Safety Issues Even After FDA Approval
In 2014, Harvard University stated that prescription drugs are the 4th leading cause of death, yet pharmaceutical companies continue to hide behind their profits and promote their products as safe. Doctors and even their patients are willing to turn a blind eye to many of the adverse side effects of drugs, opting for the "bandaid" effect they provide instead of seeking alternative treatments and preventative methods.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and conducted by a team of researchers from Yale University studied the effectiveness of the FDA's drug approval process. The team discovered that nearly one in three drugs that the FDA tests and approves ends up having safety issues.
Research Finds Serious Issues With FDA Drug Approval Process
In order to establish whether or not pharmaceutical drugs are safe for consumers, the FDA implements drug testing and clinical trials. These trials typically test fewer than 1,000 patients over a short timeframe, usually around six months or less. The Yale researchers suggested that safety issues could only truly be detected if more patients were studied over a longer period of time, speaking to the ineffectiveness of the FDA's testing.
To identify how to effectively determine any safety issues with pharmaceutical drugs, the Yale researchers studied data on new drugs approved between 2001 and 2010, with follow up through 2017. Their findings proved that approximately 32% of new drugs approved by the FDA had notable safety issues.
A shocking 71 of the 222 drugs approved within this timeframe were withdrawn, had a "black box" warning regarding the side effects, or required a safety announcement to the public about newfound risks. This begs the question: Why are these drugs being approved in the first place if they warrant so many safety concerns?
"That is very rarely a drug withdrawal, but more commonly a black box warning, or drug safety communication issued by the FDA to let physicians and patients know that new safety information has been determined," explained Associate Professor of Medicine and Public Health Dr. Joseph Ross, who led the research team.
The researchers also specified characteristics of pharmaceuticals that were more likely to pose a higher risk of safety issues to patients, including biologic therapies and drugs that were approved through the FDA's accelerated approval pathway. The accelerated approval process often uses surrogate endpoints, which means that the researchers measured a factor other than survival, such as tumour size, to figure out whether the drugs should be approved.
This [finding on surrogate endpoints] has the greatest relationship to policy today," Ross further elaborated. "In the 21st Century Cures Act, there's a push to have the FDA move to further support the use of surrogate markers … [but] they're more likely to have concerns in the post-market setting."
"While the administration pushes for less regulation and faster approvals, those decisions have consequences," Ross stated. The Yale team's previous studies exposed that the FDA approval process for drugs is much faster than that of other government organizations in Europe, which is interesting given the nature of the business in both countries. Prices of drugs are far higher in America than they are abroad, and Americans take a lot more drugs, meaning U.S. pharmaceutical companies make a lot more money.
The timing of this study is interesting too, as the FDA has been facing increased pressure lately to quicken the drug approval process. "It shows that there is the potential for compromising patient safety when drug evaluation is persistently sped up," said Ross. "At the very least, the study should inform ongoing debate about premarket drug evaluation," the researchers concluded.
Dr. Caleb Alexander, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness, weighed in on the study, commending the researchers for their work. "It's important to keep in mind that the post-approval safety issues cover the spectrum from relatively minor to serious," Alexander said.
"A good next step would be to dig into the extremely serious safety problems, determine whether the FDA could have flagged them sooner and how they might have been missed," he continued.
"All too often, patients and clinicians mistakenly view FDA approval as (an) indication that a product is fully safe and effective," Alexander explained. "Nothing could be further from the truth. We learn tremendous amounts about a product only once it's on the market and only after use among a broad population."
Dr. Alexander makes a great point: Just because a drug is approved by the FDA, doesn't mean it's safe. In an ideal world, FDA approval would mean that the drug is entirely safe to use, but the reality is that the testing is not extensive enough to even determine the safety of the drug, let alone guarantee it.
Far too often, people place their doctors and health care practitioners on pedestals and fail to conduct their own research. Though I am not qualified to professionally advise anyone on their health, I certainly do not trust everything that my doctor recommends, which is largely because no doctor knows everything there is to know about health. It's up to you to figure out your own health, not your doctor.
Though doctors can provide wonderful advice and can help immensely when diagnosing and treating illnesses, they can also drastically hinder your health. However, that's not necessarily their fault, it's often yours. The onus is on you to conduct your own research, get multiple professional opinions if need be, and ensure you are making informed decisions.
Further Proof of Misconduct at the FDA
In journalism, embargo refers to a "back-room deal" in which journalists and their sources agree not to publish an article prior to a specific date or time. The FDA goes one step further by implementing a "closely held embargo," which gifts the organization complete control over all new FDA information privy to exposure for the American public.
The FDA's use of the "close embargo" reveals that the institution likely wants to prevent reporters from leaking information. The biggest concern seems to be that, when officials begin giving the go-ahead for this special access, it makes it much easier for the agency to prevent stories they don't like from being exposed.
The FDA hinders the public's right to know about scientific fraud and misconduct as well. In an article for Slate, Charles Seife wrote:
"For more than a decade, the FDA has shown a pattern of burying the details of misconduct. As a result, nobody ever finds out which data is bogus, which experiments are tainted, and which drugs might be on the market under false pretences. The FDA has repeatedly hidden evidence of scientific fraud not just from the public, but also from its most trusted scientific advisers, even as they were deciding whether or not a new drug should be allowed on the market. Even a congressional panel investigating a case of fraud regarding a dangerous drug couldn't get forthright answers. For an agency devoted to protecting the public from bogus medical science, the FDA seems to be spending an awful lot of effort protecting the perpetrators of bogus science from the public."
To be clear, 128,000 people die every year in the U.S. from drugs prescribed to them, which is being done under the approval of the FDA and doctors. The reality is, drug companies make a lot of money from selling prescriptions, and so do those involved with them, including doctors.
At the end of the day, the medical industry is a booming business, one that thrives off sick people. These companies actually benefit when their drugs cause adverse effects, because they then have additional reasons to sell you even more drugs. The system is designed to help you in one way, and then disadvantage you in another. In essence, they want you healthy, but not too healthy, and until we educate ourselves and take control of our health, we will continue to perpetuate this cycle.

How Aluminium Damages Your Brain
Dr. Mercola, Guest Writer
For years, I've warned that aluminium is a serious neurotoxic hazard involved in rising rates of autism and Alzheimer's disease (AD). I've also warned that vaccines are a significant source of such exposure, and may be one of the worst, since by injecting it, the aluminium bypasses your body's natural filtering and detoxification systems.
My comments above were one of the reasons the self-appointed global arbiter of fake news, NewsGuard, refused to give us "green" status as a site that follows "basic standards of accuracy and accountability." In other words, our reporting of aluminium hazards was deemed "fake news."
Not only were my earlier reports based on published science, but now we have yet another study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, strongly linking aluminium exposure to AD. As reported by SciTech Daily:
"Researchers found significant amounts of aluminium content in brain tissue from donors with familial AD. The study also found a high degree of co-location with the amyloid-beta protein, which leads to early onset of the disease.
'This is the second study confirming significantly high brain accumulation in familial Alzheimer's disease, but it is the first to demonstrate an unequivocal association between the location of aluminium and amyloid-beta in the disease.
It shows that aluminium and amyloid-beta are intimately woven in the neuropathology,' explained lead investigator Christopher Exley, PhD, Birchall Centre, Lennard-Jones Laboratories, Keele University, Staffordshire, UK."
The Association Between Aluminium and Amyloid-Beta
To gain a better understanding of the link between aluminium exposure and beta-amyloid generation, the researchers examined the brain tissue of donors diagnosed with familial Alzheimer's disease who also had a specific gene mutation known to increase levels of amyloid-beta, leading to early onset and more aggressive disease.
Aluminium levels were compared to controls with no neurological disease diagnosis. They found striking differences between these two groups. Donors with the genetic mutation had universally high aluminium content.
While all samples had some level of aluminium, 42% of the samples from those with familial Alzheimer's had "pathologically significant" aluminium levels, and the aluminium was primarily co-located with amyloid beta plaques. As reported by SciTech Daily:
"The results strongly suggest that genetic predispositions known to increase amyloid-beta in brain tissue also predispose individuals to accumulate and retain aluminium in brain tissue …
'One could envisage increased amyloid-beta in brain tissue as a response to high levels of aluminium content, or that aluminium fosters the accumulation of amyloid-beta,' said Dr. Exley.
'Either way, the new research confirms my resolve that within the normal lifespan of humans, there would not be any AD if there were no aluminium in the brain tissue. No aluminium, no AD.'"
Aluminium Adjuvants Have Never Been Tested for Safety
Exley's conclusion deserves repeating: "No aluminium, no AD." Without aluminium, Alzheimer's doesn't develop. That's not fake news. This research provides conclusive evidence for concern, which means it would be foolish in the extreme to pretend that injecting infants and young children with aluminium-containing vaccines is harmless.
As revealed in my 2015 interview with Dr. Lucija Tomljenovic, featured in "How Vaccine Adjuvants Affect Your Brain," when aluminium was first approved for use in vaccines, some 95 years ago, it was approved based on its efficacy. It was never actually tested for safety.
Even the total allowable limit was based on efficacy data, not safety data. They simply assumed it was safe. As noted by Tomljenovic in that interview:
"A document4 from 2002 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) … discussing the assessment of vaccine ingredients … and testing specifically in animal models … stated that the routine toxicity studies in animals with vaccine ingredients have not been conducted because it was assumed that these ingredients are safe.
When I read that I was kind of pulling my hairs out (thinking) 'So, this is your indisputable evidence of safety?' These documents never made it to mainstream media. It's just a lie perpetuated over and over again; that we've been using these things for over nine decades and it's been proven safe. No, it's been ASSUMED safe."
Industry Propaganda and Political Interference
The propaganda responsible for hiding the dangers of aluminium was addressed in a 2014 review article in the journal Frontiers of Neurology. In it, Exley (who also co-authored the featured Journal of Alzheimer's Disease study above) wrote:
"The aluminium industry is a pillar of the developed and developing world and irrespective of the tyranny of human exposure to aluminium it cannot be challenged without significant consequences for businesses, economies, and governments …
There has been and there continues to be systematic attempts by the aluminium industry to suppress research on aluminium and human health.
While independent research in this field is prevented the questions concerning human toxicity remain unanswered. Lack of required research does not equate to lack of biological effect or safety …
Herein, I will make the case that it is inevitable both today and in the future that an individual's exposure to aluminium is impacting upon their health and is already contributing to, if not causing, chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease."
Exley points out that one of the most significant factors driving complacency about aluminium exposure is the aluminium industry's insistence that, since it's everywhere and found in virtually everybody, it must be harmless if not essential — we just haven't figured out how it benefits us yet. However, no beneficial role of aluminium has ever been elucidated, and its presence is in no way evidence of benefit.
Why Aluminium Toxicity Flies Under the Radar
Exley also notes that aluminium is rarely acutely toxic, which adds to the complacency problem. Problems only arise once a certain threshold is reached, and even then, its role in disease is rarely if ever investigated.
Yet another factor that helps hide the influence of aluminium in disease is the fact that it acts on many different pathways and acts as a substitute for essential minerals, so aluminium toxicity doesn't have one specific hallmark.
"The potential for aluminium to interact with and to influence so many biochemical pathways means that the symptoms of its toxicity could be deficiency or sufficiency, agonistic or protagonistic, and any combination of these and other physiology-based events," Exley writes, adding:
"For aluminium to play a significant role in any disease-related event some degree of toxicity threshold must have been achieved. Essentially, the rate of delivery of Al3+(aq) to target ligands must be sufficient to overcome the inherent robustness of systems that are under attack.
In achieving this threshold either aluminium must accumulate over time within a particular compartment or possibly the administration of a single dose of aluminium could achieve such a threshold instantaneously.
The latter is probably more unusual in human being's everyday exposure to aluminium except, for example, where aluminium is administered as an adjuvant in vaccination and allergy immunotherapy."
Importantly, aluminium has the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier, so any aluminium in the blood can be transported into the brain. "Indeed, aluminium is known to increase the leakiness of epithelial and endothelial barriers and in doing so could concomitantly increase the passage of aluminium from the blood to the brain," Exley writes.
Biological Effects of Aluminium
Exley also points out aluminium can damage your brain function by:
- Adversely influencing neuronal function and survival
- Potentiating damaging redox activity
- Disrupting intracellular calcium signalling that systematically wears down cellular defences
- Worsening the adverse effects of other heavy metals
- Influencing gene expression
A 2010 paper also pointed out that aluminium salts "can increase levels of glial activation, inflammatory cytokines and amyloid precursor protein within the brain," and that "Both normal brain aging and to a greater extent, Alzheimer's disease are associated with elevated basal levels of markers for inflammation."
Similarly, a 2018 paper in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences cites research showing aluminium affects:
|Axonal transport
|Neurotransmitter synthesis
|Synaptic transmission
|Phosphorylation or de-phosphorylation of proteins
|Protein degradation
|Gene expression
|Inflammatory responses
When it comes to altering gene expression, aluminium has been shown to do this via many different routes and mechanisms, including by:
|Binding to histone-DNA complex
|Inducing conformational changes of chromatin
|Inducing topological changes of DNA
|Decreasing expression of neurofilament
|Decreasing expression of tubulin
|Altering expression of neurofilament genes
|Altering expression of amyloid precursor protein
|Altering expression of neuron-specific enolase
|Decreasing expression of transferrin receptor
|Altering expression of RNA polymerase I
|Altering expression of oxidative stress marker genes such as SOD1 and glutathione reductase
|Altering expression of beta-APP secretase
Importantly, as noted in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, aluminium has been shown to "cause mitochondrial dysfunction and depletion of adenine-triphosphate (ATP)," which sets the stage for virtually any chronic disease, not just neurodegenerative diseases.
Vaccine Schedule Overexposes Infants to Aluminium
In December 2019, The Highwire reported the findings of a study published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, which found the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention's childhood vaccine schedule — when adjusted for bodyweight — exposes children to a level of aluminium that is 15.9 times higher than the recommended "safe" level.
The researchers point out that previous efforts to assess the aluminium burden created by vaccines were based on "whole-body clearance rates estimated from a study involving a single human subject."
What's more, they used an aluminium citrate solution that is not used in vaccines, which may affect the excretion rate. Importantly, infants also have immature renal function, which will inhibit their ability to filter and excrete toxins in the first place.
Other studies have used orally ingested aluminium to assess and defend safety limits for aluminium in vaccines. This is clearly an unwise comparison, as only 0.1% of orally ingested aluminium is absorbed and made bioavailable from the gastrointestinal tract.
In the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology study, the researchers used several different models in an effort to estimate the expected acute and long-term whole-body accumulation of aluminium in children following one of the three possible vaccine schedules:
- The CDC's childhood vaccine schedule as of 2019
- The CDC's vaccine schedule modified to use low dose aluminium DTaP and aluminium-free Hib vaccines
- Dr. Paul Thomas' "vaccine-friendly plan," which recommends giving only one aluminium-containing vaccine per visit (max two) and delaying certain vaccinations
The CDC's standard schedule resulted in the greatest expected aluminium burden in all model assumptions, while Thomas' schedule resulted in the lowest. According to the authors:
"Medically, proper organ, cellular and body aluminium detoxification appears to be of ever-increasing importance: Aluminium has been found in the brains of patients with Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and autism.
Evidence is growing that a host of chronic illnesses of unknown cause that are difficult to diagnose such as PANDAS/PANS, chronic fatigue syndrome may at least in part be due to vaccine aluminium intolerance.
Aluminium compounds occur naturally in the environment and in food, but very little ingested aluminium is absorbed through the intestines. Total aluminium exposure is affected by the aluminium amount in individual vaccines and the timing of repeated vaccinations in the first two years of life.
Dórea and Marques compared the expected levels of aluminium uptake into the body from intravenous and oral intake and concluded that human infants have higher exposure to aluminium from vaccination than from food, water, and formula.
Our calculations confirm that for the CDC schedule, infants up to six months of life receive most of their metabolically available aluminium from vaccines.
It should be expected that most aluminium retained in the body of infants comes from vaccinations combined with the levels of exposure from other exposures to manifest health risks from total exposure, making the timing and total aluminium content of different vaccine schedules an important consideration."
CDC Vaccine Schedule Exceeds Aluminium Limit for Adults
As noted in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology study, the "safety" limit for aluminium is not weight dependent. The maximum safe limit is based on an adult, and the same limit is transposed to infants weighing a fraction of that.
Importantly, this study found that when multiple aluminium-containing vaccines are given together, as per the CDC schedule, the total aluminium dose ends up exceeding even the assumed safety limit for an adult.
"Adjusting the safe dose limit based on a child's weight at these ages therefore results in doses that far exceed the estimated safe limit of acute toxicity," the authors warn, adding that "on all days of injection the safe limit for a child is exceeded for all three schedules; this points to acute toxicity …
The CDC schedule has the largest violation at 15.9 times the recommended safe level. This occurs at 2 months, when four recommended vaccinations containing aluminium are simultaneously administered.
In addition, modelling the time to clear aluminium from the body using Priest's equation estimates that for this schedule a child will be over the safe level of aluminium in the body for 149 days from birth to 7 months, constituting about 70 % of days in this period. This points to chronic toxicity …
The modified CDC schedule assumes the same vaccinations at the same times as the CDC schedule, but like the Vaccine Friendly Plan it assumes a lower dose aluminium DTap vaccine, and also combines the ActHib (containing no Al) with low aluminium DTap or PVC13 so that the aluminium adjuvant in the aluminium containing vaccine (ACV) activates an immune response for the ActHib vaccine.
This drops the maximum level of exposure to about 60 % of the original CDC plan with (from 15.9 to 9.3) and drops days above the estimated safe limit in the first 7 months from 70 % of days to 26 % and in the first 2 years from 24 % of days to 8 %.
The Vaccine Friendly Plan schedule skips some vaccinations in the first two years (like HepB) and avoids giving more than two vaccinations containing aluminium together.
The VFP thus further limits maximum exposure to approximately 25 % of the original CDC schedule (from 15.9 to 4.2) and drops days above the estimate limit in the first seven months from 70 % of days to 5 % and in the first two years from 24 % of days to 2 %."
Aluminium Is a Proven Neurotoxin
The health hazards of aluminium are also addressed in a 2017 scientific review published in the German journal, Deutsches Ärzteblatt International, which also reviews the threshold values associated with various types of exposure.
"Aluminium's neurotoxic effects in humans and its embryotoxic effects in animal models have been proven," the paper states, adding that while the acute toxicity of ingested aluminium is low, long-term exposure and build up is associated with neurotoxic effects, resulting in disorientation, memory impairment and dementia. As noted in this paper:
"In addition to inducing oxidative stress and binding to negatively charged membrane structures in neurons, aluminium is able to modify hippocampal calcium signal pathways that are crucial to neuronal plasticity and, hence, to memory. Cholinergic neurons are particularly susceptible to aluminium neurotoxicity, which affect synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine."
Aluminium as a risk factor for neurological disorders is also detailed in a 2018 paper in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences. Here, the authors again note that "it is widely accepted that (aluminium) is a recognized neurotoxin, which could cause neurodegeneration." They also point out that aluminium "affects more than 200 important biological reactions and causes negative effects on [the] central nervous system."
Aluminium Detected in Organs a Year After Vaccination
A 2013 study shed important light on the vaccine adjuvant alum, a "nanocrystalline compound" that has been shown to spontaneously form "micron/submicron-sized agglomerates." According to this paper:
"Alum is occasionally detected within monocyte-lineage cells long after immunization in presumably susceptible individuals with systemic/neurologic manifestations or autoimmune (inflammatory) syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) …
Intramuscular injection of alum-containing vaccine was associated with the appearance of aluminium deposits in distant organs, such as spleen and brain where they were still detected one year after injection …
Particles linearly accumulated in the brain up to the six-month endpoint; they were first found in perivascular CD11b+ cells and then in microglia and other neural cells … Cerebral translocation was not observed after direct intravenous injection, but significantly increased in mice with chronically altered blood-brain-barrier …
Continuously escalating doses of this poorly biodegradable adjuvant in the population may become insidiously unsafe, especially in the case of overimmunization or immature/altered blood brain barrier or high constitutive CCL-2 production."
Clearly, Alzheimer's and autism are not caused by a single factor. Your diet and lifestyle play significant roles, as do other toxic exposures. Still, aluminium appears to be a significant concern that cannot be overlooked, especially where vaccines are concerned. Can we really justify loading infants up with aluminium at doses that are toxic even to an adult?

Study: Baking Soda Can Remove Large Amounts Of Pesticide Residue From Fruits & Vegetables
By now, many of us are aware of the importance of eating organic produce and other foods. Although we may often try our best, sometimes the organic option can cost an arm and a leg so we opt for conventionally grown foods from time to time. Perhaps we even follow the advice given by the Environmental Working Group's "Clean Fifteen" and "Dirty Dozen" program. While this is a great way to reduce your exposure to chemically laden pesticides known to have many detrimental side effects, not to mention the fact that they are essentially a straight up poison, designed specifically to kill, pests, and another simple option also exists. The use of baking soda to wash produce effectively removes up to 96% of pesticides from fruit and vegetables.
The Research
Scientists from the University of Massachusetts published a study in the journal, Agricultural and Food Chemistry on the effects of baking soda on gala apples. The apples used in the study were sprayed with two types of pesticides: phosmet, a known insecticide and thiabendazole, which is a fungicide. After the pesticides were given time to penetrate into the apple peels, the apples were rinsed with three different liquid solutions: tap water, a ratio of 1% baking soda to 99% water and a commonly used bleaching solution.
Lead author, Dr Lili He from the University of Massachusetts said, "Pesticide residues may remain on agricultural produce, where they contribute to the total dietary intake of pesticides. Concerns about potential hazards of pesticides to food safety and human health have increased, and therefore, it is desirable to reduce these residues."
Results Of The Study
After 12 minutes of gentle scrubbing the baking soda solution was able to remove 80% of the thiabendazole and 15 minutes to remove 96% of the phosmet. A type of electromagnetic mapping technology was used to determine the percentage of pesticide residue on the surface and inside the apples.
While this is just one study, there has been plenty of research conducted on the use of baking soda to remove pesticides from fruits and vegetables. So, while organic is usually best, this method can be used safely and effectively to wash your produce and reduce your exposure to harmful, often carcinogenic, chemical pesticides.
According to Dr. He, 'The use of pesticides in agriculture has led to an increase in farm productivity. However, pesticide residues may remain on agricultural produce, where they contribute to the total dietary intake of pesticides. Concerns about potential hazards of pesticides to food safety and human health have increased, and therefore, it is desirable to reduce these residues.' The results showed that the baking solution was most effective in removing thiabendazole and phosmet on and in apples. The standard post-harvest washing method with bleach solution and a two-minute wash did not effectively remove these pesticides.'
As the Legendary Jane Goodall once said, "How could we have ever believed that it was a good idea to grow our food with poisons?"
Rising Concerns Over Commonly Used Pesticide, Glyphosate
Something has recently come to my attention and sort of shocked me I do my best to avoid genetically modified foods, (GMO's) whether or not ingesting GMO's themselves are safe or not, personally I avoid them because I know if something is genetically modified, then it also means that product has been sprayed relentlessly with pesticides, and often glyphosate is one of these pesticides. But, glyphosate is actually commonly used on hundreds of different crops regardless of if they are genetically modified or not. To read more about the potential dangers of glyphosate, click here.
Try This Solution For Yourself

The New Myths of Speculative Fiction Cinema: How Mythical Thought is Returning in the Contemporary World
This paper argues that the decline of myth and mythical thought is reversing and that the substitute of ancient myth in modern societies – politics – has been replaced by the speculative fiction genre of cinematic storytelling. With this in mind the paper creates a link between: our species ability to tell stories and our necessity to consume them; the importance and characteristics of myth and mythical thought; the human craving for mythical stories; the contemporary speculative fjction trend worldwide in the box offjce; and a study of the most infmuential fjlms of all time.

'I am only missing one thing. My girls!! Where are you all?? #nevercominghome #travel #justneedmygirls #getoverhere (sic).'

"Since the results to this factor with lupus were so appealing, we believe that the particle will certainly be practical nearly various other ailments similar to Alzheimer's, Crohn's and also ulcerative colitis – as our initial outcomes currently increase."

You asked them to put on a play,
and they're going one better.
In response to hundreds of emails
asking the participants to put on a play, we gave them the task of scripting,
directing and designing a play for 8:30 tonight.
But the participants thought they'd
get a bit post-modern and use the cameras that surround them. They are spending
the day choreographing the action of 'Murder in Big Brother House', their comedy-horror
story, to be filmed by different cameras in the house.
Big Brother will comply up to the
point that all cameras are on record and the gallery of directors can cut according
to the best pictures. So when Darren gets pecked to death by the chickens (as
one part of the script demands), the chicken-cam will have it all in shot. In
another part of the house, Craig is getting smothered with a pillow.
Brainy Melanie wants her head to
explode with knowledge, although even the Big Brother technology might find
this a bit of a stretch.
Big Brother will screen the group's
murder mystery on Thursday's 11:00pm show in a suitably edited form, although
it's unlikely the participants will get to see their own handiwork.
Or if you get a seat early, you
can watch the edited version in full on the web four hours beforehand at 7:00pm.
Big Brother is a Bazal production
for Channel 4.

Use sidekick bike filters in the guide to find the product that best suits your needs. Both of our riders were used to having a much wider range sidekick bike gearing, so a major concern was that going down to 8 speeds would be a problem.
However, even with only 8 speeds versus sidekick bike, the range felt great. Dynamic Bicycles explains on their website that most 21 and 24 sidekick bike bikes have redundant sodekick of the gears, so you never really get that many distinct speeds anyway:.
Our chainless bicycles use the Shimano 8-speed internal gear hubs. So you get a surprisingly wide range of gearing, while eliminating the number one complaint people have always sidekick bike about their bikes — the chains and derailleurs.
In preparing for this review, sidekick bike submitted information on the gearing of the Trek mountain bike, and Dynamic Bicycles sent us back a spreadsheet showing where the 8-speed fit in with the speed. They also have a downloadable Gear Ratio Chart you can use to compare with your isdekick sidekick bike.
As you can see, while a speed bike may have two lower gears and one modesto bike trails gear than the Runabout 8, the overall range was very similar. The 8-speed had more of sidekick bike gap between each speed, allowing it to cover most of the sidekick bike range with no redundancy.
Also, our test riders generally stayed in the center gear speeds on their sidekickk bikes, and thus the range of the Runabout was actually greater than what they sideick used.
Our conclusion is that for casual bikers who do not routinely use all 21 or 24 gears of their bike, the 8-speed of the Runabout is more than sufficient. In fact, sidekick bike expect it would be sufficient for all but the most extreme shifters.
In the next installment, we will share a gallery of photos covering practically every inch sidekick bike these bikes, and share some of the downsides of going chainless. We now present the first in a series of articles sidekick bike the chainless bikes from Dynamic Bicycles.

Our order sidekick bike two bikes was entered in to their system on a Tuesday, and the sifekick were delivered the following Tuesday.
The website said to expect in-stock orders to ship sidekick bike days of sidekick bike confirmation, and delivery times ranged between 2 to 6 days depending on destination.
For the Midwest, our one-week wait from order to delivery was as expected.
Their order system did send an order confirmation e-mail, but it did not send or we did not receive a shipping notification with UPS tracking number. After several days of waiting for sidekick bike shipping notification, we began to get impatient. Apparently Amazon. We sent in an e-mail asking when our bikes would ship sidekick bike did not receive a response.
Much to our relief, we found the bikes sitting on our doorstep a day or so after dirt bike racing crashes impatient e-mail.
Had we known when to expect delivery, we could have arranged to be in the office to receive them or had UPS hold them for pickup at a macneil bikes UPS Store. There were four main components inside the box:. Biie was also a small box that contained instructions, a sidekick bike squeeze bottle sidekick bike oil, the pedals, and an Allen wrench tool.
The website claims assembly time sidekick bike less than 20 minutes and has a page with step-by-step instructions with color photos. A sidekick bike printed version of this guide and a thicker manual shipped with our bikes.

The Tern Sidekick bike fits into the passenger elevator which provides the only access to my sidekick bike bike storage room and I am able to lock it up in a standard bike parking bike trailer covers. Like sodekick size, everything about the GSD is different than a normal bike, but at the end of the day, is just like a normal bike, especially when it comes to the riding experience.
It looks different, but the riding position sidekick bike normal--it's sidekiick adjustable between a fully upright and fairly aggressive riding position.
You can set it and forget it, sidekick bike if multiple people are sharing the bike, the seat height and handlebar position are both adjustable without bkke, and sidekick bike solid when locked sidekick bike. The trade off is that the release levers and integrated headlight on the handlebars don't leave room for my phone mount and handlebar bag.
I rely on this bag during the winter ohio bike week camping my 3 different pairs of gloves, two different hats, face mask, keys, etc I plan to relocate this bag to the front rack once it's installed.
I'm also still looking for a way to get my phone mounted in the center where I like it. We now have the front rack installed, joyous day! Tern also makes a very small bag that will hold a phone on the handlepost. We're still hunting for a solution for phone mounts, though.
When we were purchasing the bike, we sidekick bike that we would need to add a second handlebar above the rear passenger deck for my son to hold onto but decided to give integrated handle under the saddle a try first. It works. Sidekick bike it turns out, the ride is so stable that passengers rich urban biker stop holding on at all and the handle only gets used sporadically for reassurance on bumpy sidekick bike.
I asked my son how he was holding on and keeping his hands warm and he sidekick bike that he was just putting his hands in his pockets. He had not been holding on for months and I did not even know or notice.
I credit the GSD's amazing stability to its very low center of gravity. Because the rider is the only sidekick bike on the bike sidekick bike sits above the wheels, the more you dirt bike rental oahu up, the more stable the bike gets.
At a hundred pounds, my sidekick is closer to an adult than a child which just reinforces the amazing passenger capacity. As we pull up to the school drop off zone every morning, my son is able to turn from a standard riding position to side saddle and dismount before I come sidekick bike a bik stop without any wobble in the ride. It is that stable.

There's a lot of shaky ground you have to navigate when you're stuck in that limbo period when you're not a kid any more but you don't feel like an adult yet. Would make a great gift for a friend or a family member.

I ran out buy it for MY child's literature collection.
Elephants Listening Little Ears
The overlays of scribble-scrabble crayon, pastel, Little Elephants Listening Ears pencil give the otherwise very professional drawings an appealing look, as if a child prodigy drew them, but the effect is texture, not dimension. John Fielder's photography has influenced people and legislation, and he has worked tirelessly to promote the protection of Colorado's open space and wildlands. It was in very good condition, as advertised, and I was very satisfied. George Kennan and Paul Nitze come across as very wise men who disagreed because of a simple premise on what Russian History projected and what it meant for the conflict between two great powers; both men have been ruled brilliant but that did not resolve their dispute. Armstrong repeatedly offers his views (or "lessons") on what we can learn from Goethe. Now they are planning to take over the United States. Sage is a classic rapscallion, I dont get to use that word enough, I mean when we meet him he is running through the city trying to keep a hold of a slippery roast he just stole.

This is a great book for someone of the middle school to highschool range, there's a lot of stories to relate to. From these expanded stories I learned there is often a lot more danger and work involved in the quests than is represented in the TV series, and I also learned a few things about how to fish, should I ever become interested.
Xiamen the Best tries to show readers the most exciting itineraries and the most distinctive characteristics of the city; it is a good guide book for backpackers to visit Xiamen. I hope this book continues to inspire others to reach for the impossible-and I hope it will inspire you to perhaps unlock some of the secrets of the universe for yourself. There is no special destined child or savior, no I. I did and it was a great feeling on this sunny day of June 2017.
Bring out the Kleenex as you are going to need it. There is a cute inkling of a romance with Imogen but it was totally age appropriate and it was refreshing to have something stay so innocent.

If you're a parent who'd like to appear a bit clever when your child asks you the name of a bird; if you want to find a new and healthy hobby that takes you outdoors; or whether, quite simply, you want to understand a bit more about our natural environment and have a laugh at the same time, this is the perfect companion book to have.

Kristen and Abe were easy to relate to and appealing, and I love that we were given time to really delve into their backstory and history.

Much of this history occurred within companies that purposely masked a lot of detail as proprietary and intellectual property.

Our fifth-ever My Fishing Cape Cod Breakfast is happening on Saturday February 22nd, and we have some awesome raffle prizes rolling in.
The raffle will be one of the most fun parts of the breakfast event, with all money raised from the raffle going to the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center.
Today I want to let you know that MFCC member captain Steve Leary of Wingman Sportfishing has donated a 1/2 day fishing charter (worth over $450) as a prize for the raffle!
Steve (pictured above) runs charters out of beautiful Barnstable Harbor aboard his 26' Northcoast center console. He primarily fishes Cape Cod Bay for stripers and blues, and can accommodate up to 6 anglers.
Steve's 1/2 day charter donation is but one of several high-worth raffle donations up for grabs at the Feb. 22 Breakfast event. Other notable raffle items include:
I will keep you posted with more updates as new raffle prizes come in. If you would like to donate a high-value item or fishing trip to this year's raffle, then please LMK.
Tight lines!
What do you think?
Let me know by commenting below.
I'm fortunate to have grown up on the beach, and I've been fishing since kindergarten. I have great family, friends and fishing experiences to be thankful for. Just being out there is enough-catching fish is just a bonus!

By Yohana Desta The comment sections where people write their honest opinions of a product, restaurant or hotel are helpful resources for figuring out whether or not something is worth buying. Not all of those reviews are reliable. Companies such as TripAdvisoran aggregate site for making travel plans, have recently come under fire for allegedly failing to prevent fake reviews.
September 13, TripAdvisor detected and blocked more than 1, attempts to submit fraudulent reviews by PromoSalento, an online marketing site targeting hospitality businesses, the company said in a pair of statements Tuesday. Some reviews were posted and later deleted for hundreds of properties. The scheme by the man, who was not named, was to write and sell the reviews to companies to boost their prominence.
Sites such as TripAdvisor and Yelp, and commerce giants like Amazon, have gone on the offensive against fraudulent paid online reviews, saying they mislead consumers and undermine buyer confidence in retailers.
The ruling in Italy is a signal that both companies and courts may be getting more serious about the elaborate and lucrative operation of fake review sales, said Tommy Noonan, founder of ReviewMeta, a website that helps consumers spot suspicious Amazon reviews.
TripAdvisor hosts more than million reviews of travel destinations around the globe, according to the company. The Criminal Court of Lecce decided that using a false identity to write fraudulent reviews violated Italian law, the company said. The company submitted extensive evidence of the man's activity after an investigation.
|Russian Restaurants Buy Fake Tripadvisor Reviews for $ to Impress World Cup Fans
|How to Report Fraud on TripAdvisor Carolyn Murphy, on August 14 Management Responses 2 mins read We know that blackmail is a concern for hoteliers and occasionally, we hear stories about it.
Writing fake reviews has always been fraud, but this is the first time we've seen someone sent to jail as a result," said Brad Young, an attorney for TripAdvisor. The company said the man was alone in his scheme. TripAdvisor said it penalized customers of the scheme by lowering their popularity ranking or flagging their profile to consumers with a red badge on their page.
Online consumer reviews have become the lifeblood for retailers and businesses looking to draw shoppers. About half of adult consumers in the United States routinely read reviews before buying something for the first time, Pew Research Center found in Amazon has already taken action.
The company has banned paid reviews and filed five lawsuits against people who write paid reviews and companies that solicit them since Some reviewers get paid through PayPal or with gift cards for leaving glowing reviews, The Washington Post reported in April. The proactive focus on fraudulent reviews is laudable, Noonan said, and companies are increasingly deploying algorithms and fraud investigators to catch perpetrators.
But companies have a perpetually uphill battle. Fake reviews are often indistinguishable from real ones after a close read, Noonan said, even to him.

I am now planning my weeks, with meal times, what those meals will be and exercise time all scheduled. Knowing what I have planned helps, and it means bumps in the road, like an unexpected visit to the doctor, or an impromptu coffee with friends will not leave me flailing and failing. Instead I can look at my schedule and either plan around it OR add to it where I can later! I am now drinking 2 litres of water a day. The reccomendation for someone my size is over 3 litres, but seriously?! Baby steps on that one! I have all but cut out soft drink and take away foods. I look forward to experimenting in the kitchen, with my own personal challenge this week of keeping the main part of dinner each night under 300 calories! So far we are having healthy meatloaf and lemon chicken breasts, so its not like its boring grilled meat & blanched veggies. Its tasty healthy meals with substitutes for the bad stuff.
TASK 1 of PRESEASON
This task is very confronting. Its looking at the excuses I use to make poor food choices, to avoid exercise and to hide away and do nothing, recognise them, admit them, then beat them! I am VERY good at excuses and procrastination, not so good at the honesty bit! But, I have managed this task, over the last 24 hours I have given it a good amount of thought, and so, to make myself accountable, here it is!
I'm too tired. This is my major excuse. I use this excuse ALL the time! With Molly not sleeping through the night, having had Ross River Fever and iron deficiency, its such a well used, comfortable excuse. And, to make it even easier, most of the time its true. I AM tired! However, Michelle says NO EXCUSES!!! Sooo, when I think I am too tired, I am going to refuse to listen, push ahead and keep going. With the planning I am now doing, I can ensure that if Im too tired to cook a healthy dinner that there is a quick easy and most importantly, healthy alternative waiting for me to use. Monday each week is going to be prep day. Whatever I can prep & refrigerate or freeze for later in the week gets done. Chicken breast grilled for lunches, meat pre diced, veggies pre cut. All the hard work done & waiting for me just simply to put it altogether. If I think I am too tired for my morning walk, I will walk for 10 mins. If I still feel like I cant keep going, I will turn around and come home. At least then I walked 20 mins, better than nothing, right?!!
I don't have time. This is a good one too. I am always busy. I like my life busy. But, am I really too busy or do I just make it seem that way? Once again, the schedule makes sure Im never too busy to look after ME!
Its boring & lonely. Yep, exercise can be boring. Healthy food can be boring. Its so easy to get stuck in a rut! But, once again, the schedule helps. I plan a variety of healthy meals. I am using my schedule to mix up where I walk. I have to say, walking our local block, a 5km walk, is fun! There are lots of people doing the same thing. People riding bikes, people jogging or walking their dog. They are all friendly & say hi! Molly and I look for Kangaroos and birds and dogs, wave to the cars and people. AND, this time I have Shane, who is happy to walk with me. He keeps me company when he can. And, Im also trying to find others who are doing the 12 WBT in Coffs to join me in some small group personal training sessions! How fun does that sound? Exercise and meeting people on the same journey?!!
Then there is the self sabotaging voice inside my head. It's the one that tells me things like, "well, you already ate chocolate today so you may as well have that piece of cake too". "You always fail, so why do you bother trying?" "you have always been fat, and always will be, so you may as well just enjoy the life you have" "you can't do all this exercise. You cant make it a part of your everyday routine, you are too lazy". There are so many more things the self sabotager says, but now I know it! I recognise it learn to tell it to bugger off! Leave me alone because I CAN do whatever I put my mind too. I am only limited by ME.
This is up to ME. I have to take responsibility for my choices, I have to make the changes.
INSANITY: DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT. - Albert Einstein.
I refuse to be called insane....ever again!!!
