Wrong-side driving is on the rise; what it says about the future of India
'Most of our problems come from the same force that condones wrong side driving. The fire that broke out in a Delhi hotel a few days ago, killing 21, was caused by the same mindset that empowers people to take a 10-tonne vehicle out on the street, drive on the wrong side the whole day, and face no consequences, unless someone takes a video, posts it on social media and tags the police. Any officer in this country can just step out of his office, on to the road, and see wrong-side driving within five minutes, but they appear to notice it only on social media.'

Huge win for health!
RFK Jr just explained that doctors will now get paid to take patients OFF unnecessary and harmful medications through a new policy called “deprescribing.”
This is the first policy of its kind, and will incentivize doctors to STOP prescribing unnecessary medications.
Doctor: "Your LDL is still high. I'm adding a second statin."
Patient: "I'm already on one. My legs ache."
Doctor: "That's a known side effect. I'll add CoQ10."
Patient: "And I'm tired all the time."
Doctor: "Fatigue is common. I'll add modafinil."
Patient: "My memory is foggy."
Doctor: "Cognitive effects can occur. Donepezil should help."
Patient: "I have a cough now."
Doctor: "That'll be the ACE inhibitor I prescribed last visit. We'll swap it for an ARB."
Patient: "I'm not sleeping."
Doctor: "Zopiclone."
Patient: "Heard that's addictive."
Doctor: "We'll taper you with mirtazapine when the time comes."
Patient: "My blood sugar has gone up."
Doctor: "Statins can do that. Metformin."
Patient: "I get diarrhoea on metformin."
Doctor: "Loperamide."
Patient: "I've gained weight."
Doctor: "Ozempic."
Patient: "I feel nauseous."
Doctor: "Ondansetron."
Patient: "I don't want to be on twelve medications."
Doctor: "Anxiety is common at this stage. I'll add sertraline."
Patient: "What if I just stopped the statin?"
Doctor: "Absolutely not."
Research in Finland found that simply changing what children play on can quickly influence their immune system.
Scientists redesigned parts of nursery playgrounds by swapping gravel and asphalt for natural forest materials, soil, moss, leaf litter, and native plants, so kids would be exposed to the microbes found in nature. After just 28 days, clear biological differences emerged.
Children who played in these “rewilded” spaces developed a richer mix of microbes on their skin and in their gut. They also showed higher levels of regulatory T-cells, which help the body manage inflammation and reduce the risk of immune overreactions like allergies. These changes were not observed in children who stayed on conventional playground surfaces.
The findings support the biodiversity hypothesis, the idea that limited contact with natural environments, especially in urban life, may be linked to rising allergies and autoimmune conditions.
What stands out is how simple the intervention was. This wasn’t extreme outdoor exposure-just everyday play in a more natural setting. Even small, regular contact with soil and vegetation appears to shape the body’s internal ecosystem and how the immune system develops.

RFK Jr. on America's real crisis:
"We're facing this spiritual malaise, this country down. And it's the craziness, the fragmentation, the atomization of our selves, the isolation that all of us feel nowadays."
"People are losing their connections to their families, to their communities. And one of the ties, if we're going to win this spiritual warfare, is to reconnect Americans to their communities and to their families."
"And one of the ways that we can do that is by reinstating the sacred ritual of cooking and eating with each other."
RFK JR: "They're not doing vaccinated versus unvaccinated studies because they're frightened of the results."
"If you did a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study... the entire vaccine program would come into question."
Nina Teicholz on the keto diet: "You can reverse type two diabetes... reverse hypertension... reduce depression and anxiety by 79%... not within years, within weeks."
From the government’s own website:
Use of statins has been associated with the onset pathological conditions like diabetes and dementia as a result of interference with mitochondrial pathways.
