No pain, no gain: Research suggests naked mole rat gene holds the secret to pain tolerance
Perhaps due to its lackluster appearance – wrinkly, with a body reminiscent of a pale, leathery sausage – the naked mole rat is the last animal you’d think to possess abilities akin to superpowers. But they do.
Known for its long lifespan, relative immunity to most cancers, ability to survive more than 18 minutes without oxygen and striking imperviousness to certain types of pain, the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is the closest thing we have to a super-powered animal – and now, an international team of researchers may have finally unlocked the key behind this cocktail of “superpowers.”
Mole rat gene responsible for the animal's high pain tolerance
According to a study published in the journal Science, the mole rats’ interesting bevy of abilities is due to a unique interaction between their genes and their environment.
For instance, naked mole rats live in underground burrows so densely packed with animals, that the concentration of exhaled carbon dioxide within the tunnels often reaches levels wherein the air itself turns acidic. Normally, according to scientists, this would cause painful, burning sensations in the nose, eyes and exposed skin of most mammals. Except for naked mole rats.
The recent study, conducted by a team of researchers from institutions in Germany, South Africa, Tanzania and the US, also revealed that three other mole rat species exhibited imperviousness to different painful substances, including capsaicin, the substance that gives chili peppers their heat, and allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), the chemical compound that gives mustard and wasabi their distinct pungent kick.
The researchers, led by Karlien Debus and Ole Eigenbrod from the Max Delbru?ck Center for Molecular Medicine in Germany, arrived at the conclusion after testing how nine closely related rodent species reacted to three pain-inducing substances that they were likely to encounter in their habitats: diluted hydrochloric acid, which acted as an analogue for ant venom, and capsaicin and AITC, which are commonly found in mole rat foods.
Debus described the three substances as being all-natural and with no long-term toxic properties, adding that the experiments were approved by ethical commissions in Germany, South Africa and Chicago.
The researchers injected small amounts of the mentioned substances into the paws of the animals as part of their behavioral assessment of pain. According to the researchers, the rodents displayed discomfort to a compound by licking or lifting their paws, while those that were impervious to the pain conducted themselves normally by walking around and showing normal digging and related exploratory behaviors.
Based on their findings, three mole rat species – the cape mole rat (Georychus capensis), the naked mole rat and the East African root rat (Tachyoryctes splendens) – were seen as unresponsive to hydrochloric acid, while two species, the Natal mole rat (Cryptomys natalensis) and the naked mole rat, showed imperviousness to capsaicin. Of all the animals tested however, only the highveld mole rat (Cryptomys hottentotus pretoriae) showed insensitivity to AITC.
According to the researchers, the highveld mole rat’s adaptation is a direct response to its cohabitation with Natal droptail ants, which produce a strong, stinging liquid for self-defense.
“The case of the highveld mole-rat sharing its burrows with ants producing a normally painful substance is a wonderful example of how environment shapes evolution over the long term,” Debus said in the Gizmodo piece.
As detailed in the study, genetic sequencing allowed the team to accurately pinpoint the genes and molecular pathways responsible for the mole rats’ “superpowers.”
According to molecular physiologist Gary Lewin, the highveld rats possess a previously unknown mechanism for suppressing pain: NALCN, a single gene for ion channels that, when highly active, prevents pain-sensing neurons from firing. Dubbed “leak channels,” these ion channels make the nerves unable to deliver pain signals to the brain.
“Instead of delivering the signal from the receptor to the brain, the leak channels divert the signal,” Thomas Park, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Illinois and study co-author, said.
The researchers tested this by injecting highveld mole rats with a drug that blocks NALCN. This resulted in the animals becoming sensitive to AITC. As the drug wore off, the researchers noted the animals’ resistance to AITC returning.
According to the researchers, this discovery can potentially open up a whole new class of pain relievers without addictive properties, especially since humans also possess the same NALCN gene.
“Our findings could lead to a drug-discovery program to try and make molecules that increase the function of this channel,” Lewin said.

BREAKING: China keeping two sets of coronavirus pandemic numbers? “Leaked” infection numbers over 154,000; deaths approach 25,000
For the last ten days, infectious disease experts around the world have been warning that China is radically downplaying the true numbers of infections and deaths caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Now, evidence has emerged that appears to indicatewhen it comes to infections and deaths: A set of real numbers, and then a second set of "official" numbers which are far lower.
Zero Hedge reported this morning, "As Taiwan [News] reports in a report first spotted by user @TheHKGroup, over the weekend, Tencent "seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures", and were far closer to the catastrophic epidemic projections made by Jonathan Read."
That link to Taiwan News is found here. That publication reports, "Netizens also noticed that each time the screen with the large numbers appears, it shows a comparison with the previous day's data which demonstrates a 'reasonable' incremental increase, much like comparisons of official numbers. This has led some netizens to speculate that Tencent has two sets of data, the real data and 'processed' data."
According to official numbers from mainland China, which are updated daily at websites like QQ.com (see link), the current number of coronavirus infections is still under 25,000. Even then, it currently appears to be expanding at roughly 20% per 24-hour period, which represents a doubling of infections every 3.5 days (because the growth is compounded).
(The left column is infections, and the right column is deaths.)
However, observers have noted that the official numbers reported by the communist Chinese government recently slipped into the "real numbers," suddenly showing far higher confirmed infections and deaths: 154,024 infections and 24,589 deaths.
Here's screen shot that was captured before the numbers reverted back to the lower, "official" numbers:
The initial reaction from observers might be something along the lines of, "That was just a typo. So they corrected it." However, there's more to this story:
The higher numbers didn't merely appear by themselves, out of context. Above each number is an "increase" factor that calculates how much larger today's numbers are compared to yesterday's numbers. For the 24,589 deaths, located at the lower right of this graphic, you'll notice a number above it that states, "+1546." The Chinese characters next to the numbers explain, "Compared to yesterday."
This means there is an underlying database that's tracking daily numbers and being used to calculate the day-to-day differences. Similarly, there's a number above the infection count of 154,023 that explains, "+20979." This indicates the day-over-day increase from the previous day.
These numbers are clearly being automatically calculated, because if human error were to blame for typing the wrong numbers representing infections and deaths, it would be extremely unlikely that two more typos would coincidentally appear above those numbers, accidentally showing day-to-day increases that are consistent with a second set of numbers that are obviously being stored in parallel.
This is very strong evidence that the Chinese government has two sets of numbers related to the coronavirus pandemic and is choosing to deceive the public by releasing numbers which are roughly 1/10th the actual number of infections and deaths that the Chinese government itself has secretly recorded.
As Taiwan News reports (link above):
Some are speculating that a coding problem could be causing the real "internal" data to accidentally appear. Others believe that someone behind the scenes is trying to leak the real numbers.
However, the "internal" data held by Beijing may not reflect the true extent of the epidemic. According to multiple sources in Wuhan, many coronavirus patients are unable to receive treatment and die outside of hospitals.
A severe shortage of test kits also leads to a lower number of diagnosed cases of infection and death. In addition, there have been many reports of doctors being ordered to list other forms of death instead of coronavirus to keep the death toll artificially low.
The WHO, not surprisingly, is praising China for its "transparency," indicating just how many crooks or fools work at the WHO. Based on videos, reports, whistleblowers, doctors and independent journalists who are reporting from China, it seems rather apparent that China is radically downplaying the true number of infections and deaths associated with this pandemic.

W.H.O. demands all nations drop travel restrictions and allow (infected) Chinese to enter every country... are they actively rooting for the virus?

( Natural News ) It now increasingly appears that the World Health Organization , Big Tech and the mainstream media are actively trying to ensure the coronavirus pandemic spreads , and they are accomplishing this through a variety of malicious strategies that rely on deception .

It now increasingly appears that the World Health Organization, Big Tech and the mainstream media are actively trying to ensure the coronavirus pandemic spreads, and they are accomplishing this through a variety of malicious strategies that rely on deception. The latest effort, emerging just last night, has the WHO now demanding that all travel restrictions against mainland Chinese travelers be dropped, allowing infected Chinese to freely enter all nations of the world, where they can further spread the coronavirus pandemic.
The WHO, in other words, which is heavily influenced by China, wants other countries of the world to suffer the same consequences of China. "You can’t really believe anything the WHO is telling you about this, either they’re up to their eyeballs in it, in my opinion," warned Francis Boyle in a bombshell interview (see full transcript here). He later added, "Can’t trust anything the WHO says because they’re all bought and paid for by Big Pharma and when they work in cahoots with the CDC, which is the United States government, they work in cahoots with Fort Detrick, so you can’t trust any of it."

Four days ago, WHO representative Gauden Galea told CCTV that, essentially, China was doing a great job and no one should ban travelers from China.
"In addition to calling on the international community not to restrict tourism and trade due to the epidemic, the Secretary-General also praised China for taking major measures," reports LTN (translated from Chinese).
"The World Health Organization did not find enough evidence to impose restrictions on China's travel and trade," reports CGTN.com. In a stunning contradiction on the part of the WHO, CGTN also reports:

In other words, the same WHO that declared a global pandemic emergency now says there should be no travel restrictions to stop the spread of that pandemic.

( Natural News ) The news reported here has apparently been blacklisted everywhere across the U.S. and U.K. media .
It is further evidence that a massive , globally-coordinated cover-up is being run by western nations ( not just China ) in an effort to lie to the public about the true size of the pandemic in nations beyond mainland China .

W.H.O. Secretary-General says western nations are withholding coronavirus outbreak data; Mainstream media blacklists the news to keep the public in the dark as the pandemic spreads
The news reported here has apparently been blacklisted everywhere across the U.S. and U.K. media. It is further evidence that a massive, globally-coordinated cover-up is being run by western nations (not just China) in an effort to lie to the public about the true size of the pandemic in nations beyond mainland China.
Here's the news: The Secretary-General of the W.H.O., Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said last night that wealthy nations of the world -- i.e. western nations -- are refusing to share data on coronavirus outbreaks. He said that the W.H.O. has only "received complete case report forms for only 38 percent" of the known cases so far, essentially implying that western nations are less transparent than China when it comes to reporting the true number of coronavirus infections.
This is being covered in Asian news sources such as Liberty Times Net, who covered the story at this link. So far, there appears to be zero coverage of this news in the U.S. or U.K. media, obviously pointing to a coordinated cover-up. (The CIA has ordered all U.S. mainstream media organizations to lie about the pandemic, just as the communist Chinese government has ordered its local media to push propaganda.)

In addition to calling on the international community not to restrict tourism and trade due to the epidemic, the Secretary-General also praised China for taking major measures...
That's right: According to the WHO, China is the honest country, while everybody else is lying. It doesn't get more insane.
Coronavirus infections spreading outside China as infections, deaths mount
Coronavirus infections are rapidly rising in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. Nearby, a cruise ship with 3,711 people was found by Japanese authorities to be contaminated, with 10 passengers (so far) testing positive for the coronavirus. This means nearly everyone on board has been exposed.
In mainland China, the pandemic is rapidly expanding to the point where now even Nanjing is being shuttered, and new infections are getting closer to Shanghai, the military and industrial hub of Eastern China.
Zero Hedge is now reporting that the actual number of coronavirus infections and deaths in China may be 154,000 and 24,500, respectively, based on what appear to be "leaked" statistics that were quickly corrected to roughly 1/10th those numbers. Officially, the coronavirus has infected 24,500 people and killed nearly 500, if you believe that governments don't lie.
Meanwhile, the tech giants are protecting communist China by banning and censoring all information that questions the official narrative about this exploding pandemic.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the WHO, the tech giants, the mainstream media and communist China have all agreed to push the same lie: That China has this whole thing under control, and that the pandemic isn't even real, as another WHO department head stated yesterday.
Yes, the very existence of the coronavirus is about to be portrayed as "fake news" by the global disinfo establishment.

naturalnews--2020-02-05--U.N.’s WHO chief sides with Communists in China while blasting free world for creating “stigma” over

( Natural News ) Yet another global pandemic that started in China is spreading around the world , but as usual , a Left-wing United Nations bureaucrat is siding with the authoritarian regime over democracies whose leaders are concerned for the safety of their citizens .
According to the Director-General of the World Health Organization , Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus , such concern is bigoted , not rational — which makes no sense at all , of course .
Despite the fact that more than 20,700 people have been infected thus far , with 427 ( as of this writing ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Tedros believes that a ) the Chinese government is handling things well ; and b ) any criticism of the way China ’ s handling the outbreak , including travel bans and other restrictions , is bad .
John Mackenzie , emeritus professor at Curtin University , noted that it defies all logic that there was no increase in new cases at the same time that Chinese officials were holding local political meetings in January .
“ There must have been more cases happening that we weren ’ t being told about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the figures quiet for a while because of some major meeting they had in Wuhan but I think there was a period of very poor reporting , or very poor communication , ” he said , calling Beijing ’ s response “ reprehensible.
” “ I think [ China ] were very quick to let WHO know ?
.
?
.
?
.

U.N.’s WHO chief sides with Communists in China while blasting free world for creating “stigma” over coronavirus spread
Yet another global pandemic that started in China is spreading around the world, but as usual, a Left-wing United Nations bureaucrat is siding with the authoritarian regime over democracies whose leaders are concerned for the safety of their citizens.
According to the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, such concern is bigoted, not rational — which makes no sense at all, of course.
Despite the fact that more than 20,700 people have been infected thus far, with 427 (as of this writing) having been killed by the novel virus, Tedros believes that a) the Chinese government is handling things well; and b) any criticism of the way China’s handling the outbreak, including travel bans and other restrictions, is bad.
John Mackenzie, emeritus professor at Curtin University, noted that it defies all logic that there was no increase in new cases at the same time that Chinese officials were holding local political meetings in January.
“There must have been more cases happening that we weren’t being told about. I think they tried to keep the figures quiet for a while because of some major meeting they had in Wuhan but I think there was a period of very poor reporting, or very poor communication,” he said, calling Beijing’s response “reprehensible.”
“I think [China] were very quick to let WHO know?.?.?.?about it being a novel disease, they were very quick in being able to isolate the virus and share the genome sequence but I think on some of the more government public health type issues, they have been rather recalcitrant,” he added.
But for Tedros, it was more appropriate to blame the rest of the world for causing “fear and stigma” by limiting trade and travel to China because of the outbreak which, obviously, is still not contained. Meanwhile, as Zero Hedge reports, his criticism comes as China is itself blocking travel to Macau and implementing martial law — or something very close to it — nationwide.
No one really knows how dangerous this virus really is
The website’s Tyler Durden noted:
Having once again earlier denied that the novel coronavirus is a 'pandemic', saying instead that it's an epidemic with "multiple foci," and with people dropping down dead on the streets in China (and being forced into ambulances), WHO Director-General Tedros reiterated his previous stunning praise for China's "forceful measures" to halt the spread of the virus.
Durden said what he is actually hearing from Tedros is something that Peak Prosperity’s Chris Martenson suggested: That the WHO appears to be putting money over people’s lives.
Specifically, the WHO also announced that despite the fact that the virus has a long incubation period and is highly disruptive, that shouldn’t disrupt or limit “global trade and travel.”
What kind of sense does that make for the World Health Organization to make that kind of statement?
Tedros' remarkable statement comes just ahead of a report by CNBC quoting researchers who claim that the coronavirus may actually be much more contagious than first believed, including one from the WHO.
“The rapid acceleration of cases is of concern,” Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s emergencies program, told a news conference last week before the agency declared coronavirus a global emergency.
CNBC reports:
Chinese scientists worry the respiratory illness, which world health officials say likely came from a fish market, has mutated to adapt to its new human hosts far more quickly than SARS. Data on the virus is changing by the day, and some infectious disease specialists say it will take weeks before they can see just how contagious it is.
SARS was the last coronavirus-type of pandemic to originate in China.
What is clear is that no one really knows just how dangerous and deadly this virus is at the moment. So chastising the leaders of countries who have elected to protect their citizens with Chinese trade and travel restrictions seems suspicious and dumb.

Researchers investigating a cluster of infections identified in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong found that the genes of coronavirus undergo significant changes as the virus continues to spread.
While all viruses are known to mutate, they typically do so "silently" or synonymously, meaning the changes have little effect on how the virus behaves. Coronavirus, however, adapts non-synonymously, altering its biological traits.

"We do not have an answer yet" about whether or not novel coronavirus is mutating faster than S.A.R.S. (severe acute respiratory syndrome) or other similar viruses, commented Shi Zhengli, a researcher from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who was not involved in the study.
Historical data shows that during the infamous S.A.R.S. outbreak of 2002-03, that strain of coronavirus underwent mutations at a rate of between one and three per thousand "sites." But for novel coronavirus, that rate is currently unknown because "most of the available [viral gene] sequences are not complete."
"They come in fragments," says Shi.
It's difficult enough, and very time consuming, to sequence and entire genome, hence why much still remains unknown about coronavirus. Add to that the fact that novel coronavirus has almost 30,000 base pairs – that is far more than most other viruses, including S.A.R.S. – and it becomes clear that we're nowhere near identifying the complete threat associated with this outbreak.

At this time, it remains unknown how the immense mutation potential of coronavirus will affect infected individuals and their close contacts. A national "expert panel" claims that there's currently no evidence that these mutations could cause "repeated infections," but this doesn't necessarily mean that it's not happening.
In theory, viral mutations could cause a recovered patient to fall ill a second or even third time because, genetically speaking, these are whole new viruses that are causing the infections.
New research published in the Journal of Virology, also on January 29, suggests that a single mutation at one specific spot in the coronavirus genome could significantly increase the risk of the virus binding to cells on the surface of the human respiratory system, causing an infection.

The New York Times confirms that what we’ve been reporting about the coronavirus cover-up is TRUE
Sick residents of Wuhan, China, and its surrounding areas are having a difficult time getting tests and treatment for coronavirus because there are just too many infected people and not enough resources available to help them.
Affirming claims that far more people are sick and dying than the communist Chinese government is letting on, The New York Times recently published a sobering exposé about some of the families in Wuhan that are having to watch their loved ones suffer and perish due to medical scarcity.
What some had previously pegged as a "conspiracy theory" is actually turning out to be true, as many of the 11 million people who live in Wuhan are being forced to wait in lines outside at-capacity hospitals in the hopes of being seen by a doctor – only most of them never actually get that chance.
"Layers of bureaucracy stand between residents and help," writes Amy Qin for The Times. "And the long lines outside hospitals for testing and treatment suggest that the outbreak is spreading far beyond the official count of cases."
The fact that officials in Wuhan are feverishly building new hospital compounds to accommodate potentially hundreds of thousands of patients suggests that Qin is right, as are the area locals who told Beijing reporters that the rest of the world has no clue how bad things really are over there in Wuhan.
"The situation that we've seen is much worse than what has been officially reported," stated 32-year-old Long Jian to reporters outside of a hospital where his elderly father was being treated for coronavirus.
"Those who can get diagnosed and treated are the lucky ones. In our neighborhood, many who weren't able to get diagnosed ended up dying at home."
If you're not already on your death bed, Wuhan hospitals won't even admit you
Ever since the government of Wuhan locked down the city, sealing off streets and banning most forms of transportation besides a few approved emergency taxis, local residents have mostly been stranded inside their homes.
Some have chosen to bike or walk to wherever they need to go, assuming they have the strength, energy and ability to do so. But unfortunately for those who are sick, this is not a viable option, and they're basically being left for dead.
Calling 120, China's version of 911, is also no longer feasible, as Wuhan residents are being told that there are already hundreds of others waiting before them for emergency services.
Wuhan's medical services are also refusing to see people unless they have "severe symptoms," the definition of which some locals say is outrageously unrealistic. Many people with actual severe symptoms are being told that they're not serious enough to warrant medical attention, in other words.
In other cases, patients are being told that they can't be admitted to area hospitals without a proper coronavirus test. But as the media has been reporting, testing kits are likewise in short supply, which means most people will never get tested, and thus won't ever be admitted to a hospital.

Exposure to toxic personal care products sends THOUSANDS of children to the emergency room all over America
Ensuring your home is safe for your kids can be a big task, and drawer locks and outlet covers are only part of the story. Once your toddler starts walking, everything in the house is fair game – and it can be surprising how much trouble kids can find in places that seem pretty childproofed. Most parents wouldn’t dream of leaving cleaning supplies in reach of their children, but those aren’t the only common household products that call for caution. According to a new report, personal care products are sending a child to the emergency room every two hours in the U.S.
The study, which was carried out by researchers from the Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital, revealed that more than 64,000 children under the age of five were treated in emergency rooms across the country for injuries stemming from personal care products in the years from 2002 to 2016, which equates to roughly one child every two hours.
Three fourths of these injuries involved a child swallowing a product, while a fifth occurred when a product got into a child’s eyes or skin, resulting in poisonings and chemical burns.
One of the co-authors of the study, Rebecca McAdams, pointed out how easily these incidents can occur. Children this age can’t read, so they have no way of knowing what’s inside the bottle, which is often colorful and may even have a sweet, candy-like smell. Nail polish remover might look like juice, for example, while lotion could be mistaken for yogurt.
The study, which was published in Clinical Pediatrics, found that nail care products were the top category that led to injuries in children, followed by hair care products, skin care products and fragrance products. The single product that caused the most ER visits was nail polish remover, but it was hair relaxers and perm solutions that led to more hospitalizations than any other products studied.
Another problem is the fact that children like to imitate their parents’ behavior. Because these items are often kept in places where they’re easy to reach and their containers aren’t normally child-resistant, it’s easy for kids to get into trouble.
How to keep your children safe
In light of these statistics, it’s a good idea to take stock of your personal care products and ensure you’re taking steps to store them safely out of reach of children.
After you’ve used items like nail polish remover or hair treatment chemicals, put them up high and out of sight, preferably in a cabinet with a lock or latch. Try not to use these products when your kids are around to avoid piquing their curiosity, and never leave them unattended. Make a habit of putting them away immediately when you’ve finished using them.
You should also keep all of your personal care products inside their original containers so they can be easily identified should you need to contact poison control or a doctor. The researchers suggest all parents save the phone number for the National Poison Help Line, 1-800-222-1222, in their cell phones to save time; it's a good idea to keep it posted near home phones as well.
Finally, they say it’s never too early to start safe storage habits as nearly 60 percent of the injuries reported in their study involved children under the age of 2.
The number of children being poisoned or harmed by personal care products revealed by the study is alarming, and the researchers caution that the actual figure is likely higher because their study didn't take into account those children who are treated by doctors or at urgent care clinics. Thankfully, poisonings can be prevented easily by being vigilant and storing dangerous products safely.

Have you worn, eaten or injected this cancer-causing metal lately?
We’re constantly learning more about the health dangers in our environment thanks to ongoing research, and while this can be incredibly valuable information, it sometimes feels like everything around us causes cancer. That’s definitely the case when it comes to one metal you might not have given much thought to before: aluminum.
In fact, many of us believe that aluminum is pretty harmless. After all, we cook with it and store food in it, so how bad can it be? The answer is quite disappointing: A study published in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry shows that exposure to the metal can increase the invasive and migratory properties of human breast cancer cells. Because it’s the spreading of breast cancer tumors rather than the presence of the primary tumor that is behind breast cancer mortality, it’s an extremely significant – and concerning – finding. Other studies have found that women with breast cancer have higher levels of aluminum in their bodies than those without the disease.
Unfortunately, it’s not just cancer that you have to worry about when it comes to aluminum. Oral exposure to the metal has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological problems, along with kidney disease. It can make its way into breast milk, and it can also impact children’s bones.
Aluminum is difficult to avoid
Aluminum is everywhere in our environment. For example, it’s commonly used in antiperspirants, where it’s able to make its way into your bloodstream through the skin and cause problems. A study in the Journal of Applied Toxicology demonstrated how aluminum chloride, the main type of aluminum found in antiperspirants and deodorants, can change healthy breast cells into cancerous ones. While the researchers in that study said their findings don’t officially mean aluminum is a breast carcinogen, they do call the safety of its use in deodorant into question.
In addition to deodorants, aluminum can be found in several other types of personal care products, including cosmetics and astringents. It’s also presents in antacids, buffered aspirin and other drugs. Powdered aluminum is used in fireworks, and aluminum compounds are used for water treatment.
It’s also found throughout many kitchens, whether it’s in the pots and pans people cook their food with or the beverage cans and aluminum foil used for storing food and grilling. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, it is also added during the processing of some foods, including baking powder, anticaking agents, coloring agents and flour. They report that the average American adult is eating anywhere from 7 to 9 milligrams of aluminum each day in their food.
There’s a strong chance you or your children have been injected with aluminum if you’ve ever had a vaccine. It’s often used an adjuvant in vaccines such as those for hepatitis A, influenza B, HPV, DTP and DTaP.
Some of the early symptoms of aluminum toxicity are easy to dismiss or attribute to other causes, such as headaches, depression and dry skin. It’s often not noticed until it’s too late and more serious symptoms have set in, such as muscle problems and memory loss.
Aluminum is widely distributed around the world and is the most abundant metal in our planet’s crust. It’s easy to obtain and very affordable, so it’s going to take a big effort to avoid it. However, as we learn more and more about its potential dangers, it’s an effort that could very well reduce your risk of several diseases. Be vigilant about the personal care products you use, avoid aluminum additives in your food and cookware, and watch out for aluminum adjuvants in vaccines.

The streets of San Francisco are littered with human feces and drug paraphernalia. This is no exaggeration. The good folk who grew up in conservative communities have no idea what it’s like to live in the filth and destitution of a high-tax, liberal nanny state that drives away economic opportunity, speeds up inflation, and encourages homelessness and drug addiction.
San Francisco is so filthy, the city had to spend $70 million in 2019 just to clean up the feces and drug paraphernalia on the city streets, sidewalks and parks. In the first three months of 2019, the city’s 311 call center received 5,874 calls for waste on the streets. However, even though San Fran can’t keep the feces and needles from piling up on the streets, they are moving forward with a ban on electronic cigarettes. The nanny-state politicians know what’s best for your body, even though the city streets have become a nasty vector for infectious disease to spread.
Smoking is bad, but defecating in the streets, sharing needles and spreading disease is widely accepted
Since 2014, e-cigarettes have become the most commonly used tobacco product among young people and the trend will likely continue. The e-cig ban won’t stop people from destroying their bodies and their communities. The e-cig ban is just a ploy for control. The e-cig ban will ultimately generate more revenue for the nanny state in the form of fines. Nanny state politician Michael Bloomberg spent upward of $6.6 million to convince the people of San Francisco that they need the government to tell them what they can and cannot put in their bodies.
This issue begins in the home. The father and the mother of the nuclear family unit are being replaced by a government nanny state that thinks smoking is bad but permits drug paraphernalia and poop in the city streets. The influential educators and mentors in a young person's life are being replaced with government overlords who guarantee that everyone will be "kept safe" from smoking, while the streets harbor drug addiction and disease.
Easily swayed, slightly more than 80 percent of the voters opposed Proposition C -- a ballot measure that would have effectively overturned the e-cig ban. The law, passed in June 2019, will go into effect in 2020, banning the sale of e-cigarettes in the city.
The majority of voters in San Francisco were easily swayed to believe that the individual has no discipline or self control, that the family is weak, that the state can make them all safe by banning any product that involves risk. The more the people succumb to delusions of government safety, the more they are stripped of their universal freedoms, the more they are watched over, governed and told what to do in every aspect of their lives.
The e-cig ban won’t stop anyone from going outside San Francisco to get their crutch. The paraphernalia will get smuggled in. The e-cig ban is nothing more than a virtue signaling, nanny state power grab. The city will fail to protect citizens from the risks of e-cigarettes, as they have failed to protect the population from hard drugs, homelessness, and the widespread mental illness that has engulfed the city.

( Natural News ) A cohort of 44 Catholic professors from King ’ s University College in London , Ontario , is demanding that the school issue a public apology for allowing the pro-life film Unplanned to be screened on campus .

In their demand letter , these 44 faculty members openly condemn King ’ s University College for its “ public endorsement of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great concern ” about the “ viability of our institution as we work to recruit and maintain excellent students , staff and faculty.
” In other words , it ’ s just not “ cool ” in 2020 to be pro-life , even if you ’ re a Catholic .
It ’ s also not okay to show movies to students and faculty that might persuade them to become pro-life – because murdering unborn babies is the epitome of “ progress.

Catholic university professors are now supportive of murdering babies
A cohort of 44 Catholic professors from King's University College in London, Ontario, is demanding that the school issue a public apology for allowing the pro-life filmto be screened on campus.
Even though abortion is forbidden within the Catholic religion, these professors contend that the film created "furor and fear" within the student and faculty bodies because some found its screening offensive.
In their demand letter, these 44 faculty members openly condemn King's University College for its "public endorsement of an anti-abortion stance." They further express "great concern" about the "viability of our institution as we work to recruit and maintain excellent students, staff and faculty."
In other words, it's just not "cool" in 2020 to be pro-life, even if you're a Catholic. It's also not okay to show movies to students and faculty that might persuade them to become pro-life – because murdering unborn babies is the epitome of "progress."
Responding to this demand letter, Principal David Malloy expressed that King's University College "does not have any official position on abortion," despite claiming to be a Catholic institution.
"The presentation of the film and the belief of life beginning at conception is the stance of Campus Ministry and not of King's as a whole," he further explained in an official statement.
"King's employees, faculty and students do not need to prescribe to the tenets of the Catholic Church. King's does not have a position on abortion."
