Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

Germany has unveiled a revolutionary salt-air battery that could transform global energy storage. Instead of relying on lithium — a costly, finite, and environmentally challenging resource — this technology uses salt, air, and carbon to create a long-lasting, stable battery with a lifespan measured in decades, not years.

The battery works by converting chemical energy into electricity using a reaction between salt and oxygen. Unlike lithium-ion systems, it doesn’t overheat, doesn’t require rare-earth elements, and is nearly 100% recyclable. It also stores energy at a lower cost, making it ideal for large-scale renewable grids.

If deployed globally, salt-air batteries could make solar and wind power more reliable by storing energy even during long cloudy winters or calm wind periods. It’s a reminder that nature’s simplest materials — salt and air — may hold the key to humanity’s clean-energy future.

Real allies owe each other mutual support in times of struggle, but not blind obedience down a reckless path.

War is not the answer.

If you’re a parent, watch this.

[Dr Rangan Chatterjee @drchatterjeeuk]

We are an over-medicated country. 80-90% of what doctors see each day is in some way related to our collective modern lifestyles - yet, most of the options you get given by your doctor relate to pharmaceutical medication.

WE WILL NOT OUT-PRESCRIBE OUR WAY OUT OF THE CURRENT HEALTHCARE CRISIS - THERE HAS TO BE (AND THERE IS!!) ANOTHER WAY.

The number of prescriptions that we give out as doctors has increased by over 80 per cent in the last 20 years. And the uncomfortable truth is that a lot of the pills are simply not working.

This Thursday on @Channel4 at 8pm my new 1 hour prime time documentary ‘Live Well With The Drug Free Doctor’ comes out. It is a deep dive into the healthcare crisis and I show how in 3 different conditions, type 2 diabetes, chronic pain & depression, it is possibly to completely heal without the use of medication.

Our lifestyles can be our very best medicine. That is what my entire public facing career is all about and I cannot wait for the British public to watch the show this Thursday evening at 8pm.

The surgeon didn’t hold back. When asked what someone should eat to end up on his operating table, he laid it out clearly: live on processed foods.

Wheat-based junk, biscuits, cookies, fast food, protein bars loaded with chemicals, anything that comes sealed in plastic. Add in diet sodas, artificial sweeteners, and a steady stream of sugary drinks — even juice, which spikes blood sugar and drives hunger hours later.

His conclusion was sharp: stop eating real food, and you’ll make it to his surgery room sooner than you think. A brutal truth about how the modern diet manufactures disease.
