Be aware that people's entire belief systems are crashing. People are realizing so many things they've been told are a lie. Friendships are ending, divorces are happening. If you feel more alone than ever, it's a sign you're getting emotionally healthy.
@VigilantFox We are being systematically poisoned. We use 500% more glyphosate than Europe. We use 25% of the world's pesticides on our food, but we are only 3% of the population - let that sink in.
Gavin Newsom has signed a mandate requiring folic acid to be added to corn tortillas and masa products sold in California.
The intent is to reduce neural tube defects in babies — a goal we all share. But blanket fortification comes with real concerns that aren’t being meaningfully discussed.
Up to 30–50% of the population carries an MTHFR genetic variant, which affects how the body processes synthetic folic acid. For these individuals, folic acid is not the ideal form — the active form of folate is.
This is especially concerning because the policy is framed as helping a vulnerable population, while potentially exposing many of the same people to a form of supplementation their bodies may not handle well.
Public health should be about precision, nuance, and informed consent — not one-size-fits-all mandates that ignore genetic diversity.
Good intentions don’t replace good science.
I just finished @krisnewby's Bitten, which tells the history of the US government's secret program in the 1950s and 1960s to weaponize ticks to deliver deadly bacteria to incapacitate unsuspecting populations.
Newby, a talented journalist and science writer, structures her history around a biography of WIlly Burgdorfer, the Swiss-American scientist who discovered borellia burgdorferi, a spirochete bacteria often found in Lyme disease patients.
It's an incredible, infuriating, well-written book worth your time.
A few lessons:
1. The mid-20th century US biomedical research establishment was psychopathic, whole-heartedly embracing reckless, deadly investigations in the name of developing vaccines and bioweapons.
2. It is possible (& perhaps likely, though not proven) that the emergence and spread of Lyme disease may have been caused by this research program, which included large open-air testing of intentionally infected ticks on US soil.
3. The bioweapons program used combinations of viruses and bacteria infecting the same tick to hide the body's immune response to infection from detection by standard medical tests.
4. Lyme disease and related syndromes are likely caused by more than just borellia burgorferi. Newby makes a circumstantial case for a shadowy rickettsia bacteria that Willy Burgdorfer studied, which he called the "Swiss agent."
5. The financial interests of biomedical researchers and testing companies peddling faulty tests – alongside their control over the official pronouncements and policy of the National Institute of Health and the US Infectious Disease Society of America – have frozen in place a diagnostic doctrine that has led to countless Lyme disease patients misdiagnosed and gaslit about the symptoms they are suffering.
Closing thought: similar tendencies in the biomedical research and medical establishments are still extant and may help explain many things about the covid pandemic. History does not repeat, but it rhymes.

@thegarybrecka We should ALL want these three things:
1. Liability put back on the manufacturer
2. Free and open debate around the topic of vaccines
3. Vaxxed vs Unvaxxed Studies with health outcomes
If there is nothing to hide there should be nothing to worry about.
@NBSaphierMD I second this. I had no idea I was walking around with a heart rate of 33 and went to urgent care for a clogged ear only to have an ambulance called after the nurse was checking me in and have a pacemaker placed 24 hours later. They never found a reason outside of SSS. 🙏🏼🤷🏼♀️🙏🏼
