Just 28 days without parabans and phthalates turned off breast cancer genes.

Researchers followed a group of healthy women who routinely used common personal-care products containing parabens and phthalates—chemicals found in everything from shampoo and lotion to makeup and fragrance. These compounds can act like estrogen in the body, and excess estrogen-like activity has long been tied to higher breast-cancer risk.

For 28 days, 36 women did one simple thing: they switched to paraben- and phthalate-free alternatives. No drugs, no diet changes—just cleaner cosmetics and toiletries.

The results were striking: urine tests confirmed that levels of the chemicals’ breakdown products plummeted, proving exposure had been sharply reduced.

But the bigger revelation came from breast-tissue biopsies taken before and after the switch. In just four weeks, the women’s breast cells began behaving less like precancerous or cancerous cells.

They regained the ability to respond to normal “cell-death” signals (a safeguard tumors often disable). Protective estrogen receptors, which are typically shut down in breast cancer, switched back on. Gene-expression patterns shifted away from high-risk profiles and toward healthier patterns.

This is the first human evidence that routine exposure to these everyday chemicals can nudge normal breast cells in a cancer-like direction—and, crucially, that removing the exposure can begin to reverse the process remarkably quickly.

It’s not definitive proof that changing your body wash will prevent breast cancer. But it does show that the body notices—and starts to repair itself—almost immediately when you stop putting these substances on your skin.

Writing forces your brain to coordinate memory, reasoning, and meaning-making simultaneously.

Every time you write, you rewire toward clearer thinking. Every time you let an LLM do it, you rewire toward consumption.

@Sethmr That’s so sad, people need to get it together and just support local

[x a @avaemariea]

I can’t believe it took me so long to start buying local only. The taste is so much better. My children will eat like double if it’s local meat. Idk what’s going on with store meat but something ain’t right.

[Dr. Simon @goddek]

Stop eating ultra-processed goy slop.

Eat pasture-raised meat, real eggs, drink local raw milk, grow your own vegetables, or buy them from a local farmers’ market.

This is the first step toward reclaiming ownership of your body and your mind.

Thank me later.

No shoes in the house and no outside clothes on the bed is the only hygienic way to live.

@ManuelSConde @michaeljknowles This doesn’t back up the claim that Wakefield himself admitted to making a fake study. Where is that quote from his own mouth?

@alexandrosM It seems to me this is a constitutional issue since government officials applied pressure around speech, same as Biden administration pressuring Facebook to censor. I actually hated his jokes and it’s hard to not feel smugly satisfied that he was fired but in principle…

I live in a nice area and people at the park I like to walk at always have dogs off leash that run up to me, so now that I have a baby I can’t even go there anymore. I hate the off leash dog fanatics so much who think everyone should trust their fill in imposter kids, and ruin places.

@alexandrosM What about isms. I haven't seen you denounce all the things.

[x a @avaemariea]

This.

@lamg_dev @paulg Well, that’s not really true. There’s a lot of people crying about losing their illegal immigrants and Chinese slave labor right now.

@ManuelSConde @michaeljknowles lol please provide evidence of the claim he “admitted to making a fake study”

@bitcloud grab some plan B and tampons while you’re at it. Get it all over wirh.

@EmigrationC @PaganOrigin @GX4600 @DrLoupis__ Why do you send your kids to propagandized schools? Most of it gets absorbed subconsciously so your telling them that means nothing.
