  • The dangers of meddling with nature is once again front and centre in a recent study published in Nature Genetics. The study shows how the use of gene editing using ‘genetic scissors’ causes unintended (off-target) changes in plants altered using the technique. The new study directly counters claims that such techniques merely mimic nature’s random mutations and that such changes are perfectly safe. Sustainable Pulse takes a detailed look at the study and its implications
  • The EU has approved the import of maize, genetically engineered using ‘gene scissors’ (CRISPR/Cas) to produce an insecticide and be resistant to herbicides despite ongoing warnings about the dangers presented by such organisms. EFSA opinions on the two strains of maize (here and here) found the maize to be as safe as non-GM maize
  • Synthetic proteins, created through ‘precision fermentation’ using genetically altered bacteria, are being added to infant formula in New Zealand, without being labelled. An EFSA report from 2022 found human cell lines exposed to the 2’-FL protein experienced significant changes to chromosomes, while animal studies threw up issues with blood health, limb weakness and diarrhoea leading to a failure to thrive. The EFSA report underpins concerns that such ‘food products’ are far from safe as is claimed and potentially pose a huge risk to human health, and in this case, infant health
  • GM Watch shares a op-ed on Jack Bobo, named as one of the leading spin doctors for the Biotech industry. After decades of delivering propaganda around the globe, he’s now turning his attention to lab-produced proteins as the push to get people to accept new-to-nature foods intensifies
  • Farmers in Africa are eschewing chemical sprays and reverting to biocontrols to deal with mealybug, which is devastating papaya crops. Introduction of a parasitic wasp has brought mealybug infestations under control and stopped the economic losses being suffered by the farmers as well as significantly reducing pesticide use
  • Unsurprisingly, using digital devices, linked to the kind of content accessed before bed, can prevent children and teenagers’ from sleeping properly according to the National Sleep Foundation expert consensus panel. The panel conducted a systematic literature review, published in Sleep Health, to reach consensus on 3 statements revealing the impacts of digital device use before bed and ways in which screen use can be reduced to promote good sleep.

  • Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits is protective against kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. A new study published in The American Journal of Medicine, focused on people with kidney disease, found that eating 2 to 4 cups of vegetables and fruit a day was more effective than the drug intervention in reducing the progression of kidney disease and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease
  • Scientists publishing in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association have expressed concerns about just how beneficial two new ’blockbuster’ drugs for Alzheimer’s will be long-term, as well as highlighting concerns about serious adverse reactions. Co-author, Prof Edo Richard, told Politico that people need to be properly informed about the potential issues to enable them to make informed decision about the use of the drugs.

  • Younger people are at ever increasing risk of being diagnosed with cancer according to a new study published in The Lancet Public Health. The study looked at data for people born between 1920 and 1990, through to 2019. Colorectal cancer has now become the leading cause of cancer related deaths in the US in the under 50s. Posting on X recently, statistician, the Ethical Skeptic, showed rates of cancer have continued to rise at an unprecedented rate since the roll out of covid shots in 2021, in those aged under 54
  • Claims that the new blood test, Galleri, can detect more than 50 types of cancer early are being called into doubt in an article in The BMJ, after documents related to an NHS trial of the test were leaked. The documents evidence many ‘serious concerns’ about the trial, which also highlights the pro-industry nature of the current NHS deal with the test's maker, Grail. The company is also embroiled in a lawsuit in the US, brought by investors, claiming the company has, unsurprisingly, significantly over-egged the test’s effectiveness in order to increase its share price
  • As healthcare authorities scrabble to find ways to ‘prevent’ disease, the head of a new taskforce in the UK is calling for a parallel preventative health service to be created to ‘save’ the NHS. However, such a system would still focus on the use of blood and genetics tests along with family history to detect health risks, which would then be dealt with by pharmaceutical interventions rather than true prevention using dietary and lifestyle interventions.

ANH-USA Update

  • US health officials recently declared that certain flu viruses, in particular bird flu (H5N1), pose a significant potential to cause a public health emergency as fearmongering is ramped up to prepare people for another covid-style health crisis. This is exactly the sort of scenario that might be used to push through the WHO pandemic treaty and speed up the adoption of the amendments to the International Health Regulations. It’s up to us to stand up to the authorities, say No and oppose the WHO takeover of global health issues
  • Following the collapse of a landmark lawsuit against the US government, the government’s collusion with social media companies to censor free speech can be conveniently ignored. It’s back to business as usual as the FBI and Justice Dept resume regular contact with social media platforms to direct censorship of content. This covert censorship is a “soft” form of authoritarianism, which uses powerful psychological manipulation techniques to make the public conform to the required agenda, all the while suppressing Free Speech. Sign the FreeSpeech4Health petition to stop the continued control and suppression of natural health information.

Covid Update

  • Moldovan journalist, editor, politician and friend of ANH, Yuri Roshka, is facing 6 years in prison for championing free speech and opposing and exposing government corruption. Co-founder of the Chisinau Forum, Roshka, has been threatened with imprisonment multiple times over the past 40 years. Each time dodging jail terms through massive media coverage and international support, continuing with his coverage of covid, which reached hundreds of thousands of people. Recently, a previous fabricated criminal case, with zero evidence against him, has been resurrected and put in the hands of a tame judge, who has sentenced Roshka to 6 years in jail in a politically motivated move in yet another attempt to silence him. His legal team are appealing the sentence, but there’s little hope of success. He’s calling on the international community, he has faithfully supported over the years, to speak out against the agenda to thwart his planned imprisonment. Read his story here
  • Drs Marik and Kory's, who co-founded the FLCCC Alliance and helped many covid patients, have had their Board Certifications officially revoked. The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Committee’s reason for revoking their certifications was due to the pair’s continued sharing of “false or inaccurate medical information”. In response to the news, Pierre Kory commented that the ABIM is telling doctors what to think and do and toe the line regardless of any scientific evidence to the contrary, removing all freedom of thought and speech. Steve Kirsch has more
  • A Freedom of Speech lawsuit brought by the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) against Meta and its founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has been thrown out by the Court.

However, the decision was not unanimous with one judge dissenting the opinion. The Defender has more

  • In a win against censorship through demonetisation, a lawsuit brought by social media platform X and video sharing platform Rumble, has led to the folding of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), founded by the World Federation of Advertisers. The lawsuit was brought after GARM members colluded to decide what online platforms were or weren’t worthy of receiving online advertising revenue. However, the 'win' is unlikely to stop the continued demonetisation of online platforms deemed to be spreading misinformation

  • Even now, some four years after the declaration of a pandemic, some continue to argue the SARS-CoV-2 virus didn’t originate in a lab. A new paper, published in the Journal of Virology, labels the theory “anti-science” saying it puts the research community, scientific research and pandemic preparedness at risk. It’s interesting to note that prominent gain of function researcher, Ralph Baric, is amongst the paper’s authors
