New Research: Just 28 Days Without Parabens & Phthalates Reverses Cancer-Linked Breast Changes

A groundbreaking study published in Chemosphere has revealed that avoiding parabens and phthalates — common preservatives and fragrance enhancers in cosmetics and personal care products — for just 28 days can reverse cancer-associated changes in breast tissue.

Researchers analyzed breast tissue samples before and after a month-long avoidance period and found significant reversals in cellular pathways linked to cancer development, including:

• PI3K-AKT/mTOR signaling (cell growth & survival)

• Autophagy (cell recycling & stress response)

• Apoptotic signaling (cell death regulation)

These pathways are known to play key roles in tumor growth and progression.

Parabens and phthalates act as xenoestrogens, synthetic compounds that mimic estrogen. Since estrogen is closely tied to breast cancer risk, reducing exposure may help lower cancer-related cellular changes.

This research underscores the importance of choosing endocrine disruptor-free products and suggests that even short-term lifestyle changes can have measurable molecular impacts on breast health.

New study reveals that limiting sugar in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life has massive life-long benefits by preventing chronic diseases, establishing healthy taste preferences, and supporting proper development. A major study found that early life exposure to lower sugar intake was associated with a 35% reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes and a 20% reduced risk of high blood pressure in adulthood.

The first 1,000 days are a critical window of rapid development for a child’s brain, body, metabolism, and immune system, setting the stage for their future health. Excessive early exposure to added sugars can irreversibly alter development and lead to long-term health problems.

To elaborate, a child’s palate is very malleable during the first 1,000 days. Repeated exposure to sweet foods trains their taste buds to crave sweeter flavors, making them less receptive to naturally sweet foods like fruits and vegetables. By consistently introducing whole, unprocessed foods, you prevent a child from becoming accustomed to the intense, artificially sweet flavors found in many processed snacks. This helps them appreciate a wider variety of foods even later in life.

Also, a landmark study found that people exposed to lower sugar intake in utero and during the first 1,000 days of life had significantly lower risks of developing type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Also, reducing sugar intake through the first 1,000 days helps combat childhood and adult obesity. Sugary foods and drinks are often calorie-dense but lack nutrients and fiber, which can lead to excessive weight gain. A high sugar diet in childhood is a major driver of obesity, which carries a host of long-term health consequences.

Furthermore, limiting sugar intake during this critical developmental period improves metabolic health. High sugar intake can disrupt the body’s normal metabolic processes and lead to insulin resistance (a leading cause of PCOS, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses). Limiting sugar helps set a healthy metabolic pattern, reducing the risk of fatty liver disease, PCOS, diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease later in life.

Neuroscience has officially proven that a father’s roughhousing style of play is actually crucial for a child’s brain and development. Those games of “chase”, wrestling or tossing your child into the air are actually improving your child’s cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation and social intelligence.

The physical exertion and excitement of roughhousing triggers the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This protein acts like a “Miracle-Gro” for the brain, stimulating neuron growth in areas responsible for memory, logic and language.

A 2022 study on father-child rough-and-tumble play found that the frequency and quality of this interaction were positively linked to a child’s working memory. Working memory is a key component of executive function and is crucial for academic success.

By exposing children to unpredictable scenarios in a safe environment, roughhousing “rewires” their brains. This increases the connections between neurons in the cerebral cortex, improving a child’s ability to cope with unexpected obstacles and developing resilience.

Roughhousing with a larger, stronger adult also requires a child to learn self control. They learn to modulate their physical strength and how to respond appropriately when things get too rough. Dads can teach this by holding back their own strength and showing the child what is and is not okay.

The intense but joyful emotions involved in rough play provide a safe “training ground” for the child’s nervous system. They can experience high-arousal states and then practice calming down, which helps balance their stress response system. The fun and laughter help relieve anxiety and stress.

Also, during roughhousing, children learn to read and respond to social cues like facial expressions and body language. They learn to take turns, negotiate, and understand when another’s persons fun has turned into discomfort. This builds empathy and social competence.

Children who regularly engage in high-quality, safe roughhousing with their fathers tend to be less physically aggressive with peers by learning to distinguish between playful, cooperative contact and real aggression.

In the press conference today the President along with Sec. Kennedy, FDA head Marty Makary, NIH head Jay Bhattacharya and CMS head Mehmet Oz annihilated the orthodox narrative about autism and vaccines. The President and his staff his staff validated much of what the parents of vaccine-injured children diagnosed with autism have been saying for years.

The President has said that parents of children with autism have been lied to, gaslighted and vilified for telling the truth about what happened to their

For perhaps the first time ever the federal government has recommended a treatment, Leucovorin, for the physical symptoms of autism

He mentioned he has known at least four children who were developing normally and then regressed into autism following vaccines.

He said there is obviously an epidemic going on and that it has to be something in the environment that children are exposed to.

The President said that the genetic research of the last twenty years has been a waste of time and that the causes on autism must be environmental.

He said that mercury must be taken out of vaccines.

He said that aluminum must be removed from vaccines.

He said that the MMRV vaccine should not be used.

He said the measles, mumps, rubella, (MMR) should be broken up into separate shots for safety reasons, which has been the practice in Japan for a generation.

The hep b should not be given before 12 years old.

He said that multiple shots given to children should be broken up into four or five visits.

He unequivocally said women must not take Tylenol Acetaminophen/Paracetamol) while pregnant or give it to their infant children.

The President couldn't have made it clearer that he and his administration believes vaccines are a major, if not the major, cause of autism.

A recent study warns that a chemical in artificial sweeteners, sucralose-6-acetate, may harm DNA and activate cancer-related genes.

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found this compound, formed during sucralose production, is genotoxic, potentially causing inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer risks in human cells.

Though typically removed from products like Splenda, its presence as a contaminant or metabolite sparks safety concerns.

Published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, the findings add to growing evidence against overusing artificial sweeteners.

While the National Cancer Institute hasn’t confirmed a human cancer link, experts advise caution, especially with recent warnings about sweeteners like aspartame.

They suggest natural alternatives like stevia, monk fruit, or small amounts of real sugar, within a balanced, whole-food diet, until more research is done.

As I’ve previously reported on Edward Dowd’s groundbreaking work, insurance data analysis delivers a sobering reality—approximately 5,000 Americans are dying weekly from Covid mRNA vaccines, according to Wall Street data expert Edward Dowd.

Speaking on the Commodity Culture podcast, the former BlackRock executive revealed that since the 2021 vaccine rollout, excess deaths among 18-64-year-olds have surged, with an estimated 3,000-5,000 vaccine-linked deaths each week in the U.S. alone.

These deaths, primarily non-Covid-related, include sudden heart attacks, strokes, and aggressive “turbo cancers” striking healthy young adults, particularly those aged 30-50.

Dowd’s findings build on earlier reports, like the January 2022 disclosure from One America Life Insurance CEO Scott Davidson, who noted a 40% spike in working-age deaths (18-64) compared to pre-pandemic levels—a “once-in-200-year” event that stunned actuaries.

Data shows a 22% surge in excess deaths among children aged 1-14 in 2023, with similar patterns in vaccinated nations like the UK, Canada, and Australia.

Injuries are even more staggering, estimated at 10-15 times the death toll, potentially impacting millions with heart inflammation, neurological disorders, and other conditions.

Dowd’s team at Phinance Technologies, including top scientists and analysts, corroborates these trends using CDC data, VAERS reports, and global mortality statistics, noting three distinct spikes in deaths aligning with vaccine rollouts: December 2020 (Pfizer/BioNTech), mid-2021 (mandates), and early 2022 (boosters).

Despite the data, Dowd alleges Big Tech and corporate media are suppressing these findings, while victims and families fear speaking out due to social and professional backlash.

He also points to government agencies adjusting mortality calculations to downplay the crisis, citing the UK’s Office for National Statistics as an example.

This aligns with my prior warnings about Dowd’s research, which continues to expose a global health emergency ignored by authorities.

A study comparing Rhodiola rosea to the antidepressant sertraline (Zoloft) found that both reduced depression symptoms, but Rhodiola was better tolerated and produced fewer side effects.

The study was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, meaning participants were randomly assigned to receive either Rhodiola rosea, sertraline, or a placebo, and neither the participants nor the researchers knew who was receiving which treatment until the end.

Both Rhodiola rosea and sertraline showed improvements in depression symptoms and while sertraline had a slightly greater effect, Rhodiola was more favorable in terms of risk-to-benefit ratio, particularly for mild to moderate depression.

Another positive in choosing Rhodiola over a prescription antidepressant is that Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb that works to heal your body from stress related hormone imbalances and other health issues, returning the body to homeostasis. This means Rhodiola could provide relief from the depression while possibly healing you for good by returning you to homeostasis and perfect hormone balance.

You can find the only Rhodiola I use, love and trust in the links in my bio!

Please always research before starting any new herbs especially if you are pregnant, nursing, on any prescription medication or have any diagnosed medical condition. It is not advisable to mix Rhodiola with an antidepressant. You must take one or the other.

In a stunning medical discovery, scientists have found a previously unknown organ hidden deep inside the human throat. This new organ, a pair of salivary glands located near the upper throat behind the nose, was detected accidentally while researchers were studying cancer patients using advanced imaging technology.

For centuries, anatomy textbooks listed only three major salivary gland pairs, the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. The discovery of this hidden set, now referred to as the tubarial glands, adds an entirely new piece to our understanding of the human body. These glands are believed to play an important role in lubricating and protecting the upper throat and nasal passages.

The finding has huge medical implications. Knowing about the tubarial glands could help doctors avoid accidentally damaging them during treatments like radiation therapy for head and neck cancers. Protecting these glands may prevent complications such as chronic dry mouth and swallowing difficulties, improving patient recovery and quality of life.

This remarkable discovery proves that even in the 21st century, there are still secrets left in human anatomy. It reminds us that the human body is more complex and mysterious than previously thought, and that groundbreaking discoveries can still reshape science and medicine.

Scientists have discovered that Artemisia herba-alba, a naturally growing aromatic plant common in North Africa and the Middle East, contains ingredients that can potentially treat colorectal cancer (CRC).

The study, published in Food Science and Nutrition, found that extracts from this plant, also known as common wormwood or white wormwood, effectively stopped the growth of cancerous cells and caused them to die, regardless of specific genetic traits.

Key findings include:
🔹 The extract disrupted cancer cell division by reducing the activity of proteins like Cyclin B1 and CDK1.
🔹 It blocked the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which plays a major role in cancer development.
🔹 The plant showed selective cytotoxicity against colorectal cancer cell lines.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. It accounts for nearly 10% of all cancer cases. It is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths.

Researchers suggest Artemisia herba-alba could be a promising natural ingredient for new cancer treatments, potentially offering a complementary approach to existing therapies with fewer side effects.
