Recent research from Purdue University found that using scented wax melts can produce indoor air pollution in the form of nanoparticles that is comparable in concentration and respiratory exposure to emissions from diesel engines. This finding challenges the perception that flameless scented products are a safer alternative to burning candles.

Unlike diesel fumes, which come from combustion, wax melts produce nanoparticles through a chemical reaction. Scented wax melts release high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), specifically fragrant compounds called terpenes, when heated. The terpenes react with naturally occurring ozone in the indoor air. The product of this reaction is new nanoparticle formation.

A study published in Environmental Science and Technology Letters found that scented wax melts created nanoparticle concentrations similar to those emitted by gas stoves, scented candles and diesel and natural gas engines.

Respiratory tract modeling showed that the particles created by wax melts resulted in dose rates comparable to those from sources like diesel engines. The small size to these nanoparticles allows them to pe*****te deep into the lungs.

Scented wax melts also contain endocrine disruptors like phthalates, which are chemicals found in fragrances that can interfere with hormones. A 2025 American Chemical Society study highlighted that compounds released from scented wax melts can react with indoor air to form potentially harmful particles, and other research confirms volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde and benzene can be released from these products.

Endocrine disruption is a huge concern as it can lead to extreme hormonal imbalances, infertility, metabolic disorders, developmental abnormalities, reduced brain function, weakening of the immune system, and even is linked to increased cancer risk.

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.

Researchers have discovered that the skin mucus of axolotls contains special antimicrobial peptides that can kill breast cancer cells and destroy antibiotic-resistant bacteria (like MRSA) — all while leaving healthy tissue untouched.

In a groundbreaking study published in PLOS ONE, scientists from Hannover Medical School analyzed thousands of compounds in axolotl mucus and identified 22 promising peptide candidates. These were extracted by gently massaging the axolotls with sterile gloves — without harming them — and then synthesized for testing.

The results?
Four peptides were highly effective against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), some even outperforming vancomycin, one of our most powerful last-resort antibiotics.
Three of these peptides also triggered programmed cell death in breast cancer cells, while leaving healthy breast cells unharmed.

These peptides work thanks to their unique chemistry — a combination of positively charged amino acids and water-repelling parts — which allows them to attach to bacterial cell walls, punch holes, or pe*****te and destroy them. The same mechanism seems to selectively target cancer cells as well.

Why does this matter?
MRSA alone causes around 20,000 infections annually in the U.S., and antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health. These axolotl-derived peptides may offer a new kind of therapy, harder for bacteria to resist — and with the added benefit of potential anti-cancer effects.

Talk about a handy protective tool at my office!

EMFs (electromagnetic fields) are invisible forces that surround us constantly—from our cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, power lines, and even smart appliances. Though unseen and often unfelt, these frequencies pe*****te our bodies day and night. Emerging research and thousands of testimonials point to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, and even hormone disruption—yet because EMFs are invisible, many dismiss their impact as unscientific or alarmist. The danger lies not only in the exposure but in our collective denial.

Modern humans are surrounded by screens, signals, and wireless conveniences that quietly degrade our natural rhythms. We’ve normalized tech dependency without questioning the cost. Just because we can’t see or touch EMFs doesn’t mean they aren’t altering our biology. It’s time we start listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us—through subtle imbalances, chronic exhaustion, and emotional volatility—and begin reclaiming balance in a world oversaturated with invisible interference.
