The Huge Harm Caused by Air Pollution

Industrial Air Pollution Far Worse Than Estimated, But Trump’s EPA Shut Down Plan to Fix It

Industrial facilities are emitting far more toxic chemicals than reported, putting millions of nearby residents at increased risk of cancer. The Trump administration halted rules that would have forced these plants to install monitors and limit emissions, leaving communities unprotected.

INSIDE MAHA’S FIRST REPORT

 

Last week, the MAHA Commission unveiled its First 100 Days Report, exposing the root causes of America’s chronic health decline: ultra-processed food, environmental toxins, and the medicalization of our children.

The report outlines a roadmap for change from confronting conflicts of interest inside our health agencies to overhauling clinical trial standards and restoring integrity to science.

Find out how this growing movement is already making an impact, and what comes next.

MAHA Commission Food System Report to Spotlight Toxins in Food

The MAHA Commission’s new report identifies food toxins, overmedication and environmental stressors as core drivers behind the surge in childhood chronic illness.

CDC data show that 87% of U.S. children have glyphosate in their urine, pointing to daily exposure through common foods like wheat, oats and corn-based snacks/

Federal agencies are now being mobilized to close research gaps, overhaul outdated food safety laws and launch real-time tracking of toxic exposures.

Chronic illness isn’t just about genetics; it’s the result of daily inputs like poor food quality, artificial light, lack of movement and excess screen time.

Removing inflammatory foods, restoring sleep and sunlight routines, and cleaning up your home environment gives your child’s biology the conditions it needs to heal.

 

 

Trump Admin Signs Waivers for 3 more States to Ban Sugary Drinks, Junk Food From SNAP

This decision follows similar exclusions that have already been implemented in Nebraska, Iowa, and Indiana.

A must-see update on the WHO’s looming Pandemic Treaty.

 

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE WHO PANDEMIC TREATY

While President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization (WHO), distancing the country from the controversial WHO Pandemic Treaty, many key allies have signed on to the evolving agreement.

The treaty grants sweeping new powers to the WHO during future pandemics—including support for high-risk gain-of-function research, the type many believe contributed to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.

As global leaders push forward, critical questions remain: Who controls pandemic response—and at what cost to national sovereignty and public safety?

KENNEDY AND MILEI BEGIN NEW PATH TO REPLACE THE WHO

Is the self-appointed ruling global health agency, the World Health Organization (WHO), finally unraveling once and for all? On the first day of his second term, President Donald Trump signed an executive order initiating the year-long process of withdrawing the United States from the WHO. In February, Argentina’s President Javier Milei followed suit. On May 27, 2025, U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Argentine Minister of Health Mario Lugones issued a joint statement concerning each country’s withdrawal from the disastrous UN-directed agency, declaring, in part:

“The WHO’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed serious structural and operational shortcomings that undermined global trust and highlighted the urgent need for independent, science-based leadership in global health.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine expert Dr. Adam Urato delivers a critical warning about the rising use of SSRIs (antidepressants) during pregnancy—and the serious risks they pose to both mother and child.

Despite mounting scientific concerns, these powerful drugs continue to be promoted by the medical establishment, often without fully informing patients.

9000 patients who had been prescribed anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives, or antidepressants.

JAACAP Journal Faces Lawsuit Over Discredited Study Used by GSK to Market Dangerous Antidepressant to Teens

The study, published by the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry in its journal, JAACAP, actually found that paroxetine (Paxil) was neither safe nor effective. Internal documents later showed that GSK hired a PR firm to ghostwrite the article, cherry-picking data and recruiting 20 co-authors to lend credibility. The company then used the paper to market Paxil to doctors.

 

 

Big Money for Pharma, Big Risk for Kids: When Doctors Prescribe Antipsychotics and SSRIs for Children with Autism

Vaccines are documented to be the largest factor in the Autism Increase. A survey of hundreds of thousands of parents of Autism patients by the Autism Research Center found toxic metal detoxifaction and avoidance of gluten and milk casein were the most effective treatments for Autism. Toxic metals block the enzyme needed to digest gluten and casein forming a highly toxic byproduct. Vaccines were a major source of mercury and aluminum in children.

Antidepressants During Pregnancy Raise Risk of Birth Defects, Doctors Tell FDA

The FDA needs to do a better job of warning pregnant women that taking SSRIs, a class of antidepressants, may harm them and their developing baby, doctors told the agency on Monday.

Early Antibiotics, Fragile Microbiomes: What This Pediatric Review Says

The review contends that early, repeated, or broad-spectrum antibiotics (e.g., macrolides, cephalosporins) reduce Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Faecalibacterium, weaken mucosal defenses (IgA, mucus, tight junctions), and dampen SCFA signaling critical for Treg induction. Reported downstream signals include greater susceptibility to respiratory and GI infections, diminished vaccine immunogenicity, and higher odds of allergic and inflammatory disease later in childhood. The paper highlights stewardship (accurate bacterial–viral differentiation; narrow spectrum when feasible) and microbiome-supportive interventions (breastfeeding, diet quality, select probiotics/prebiotics, emerging postbiotics; FMT in select contexts) as plausible mitigations.

The manuscript is narrative, with no quantitative synthesis, no formal bias assessment, and heterogeneous sources.

Researchers identified 38 food or agriculture companies that this year dumped wastewater containing toxic compounds in amounts exceeding the limits prescribed by the EPA’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Factory farms aren’t even required to obtain an NPDES permit, even though they release trillions of pounds of toxin-filled manure every year.

U.S. CATTLE AT 64-YEAR LOW, HORMONE RULES FUEL BEEF PRICE SURGE[1]

The US cattle inventory is at a 64-year low, sending beef prices skyrocketing for consumers. The exporting of American cattle has also plummeted, partially due to the hormone-treated stateside cattle not passing the stronger food standards of some countries. Further compounding the issue, imports from Mexico have been suspended due to the detection of a dangerous flesh-eating fly that poses serious risks to both livestock and humans.

TRANS CARE FOR KIDS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

HHS’s new review concludes that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors are backed by limited evidence and carry significant risks. New science is also highlighting a notable overlap between gender dysphoria and autism spectrum diagnoses, prompting NHS England to propose mandatory ASD screening for all children referred for gender care. Recent studies show autistic youth frequently exhibit gender-nonconforming behaviors—putting them at risk of misdiagnosis—and Jefferey underscores the now-closed Tavistock clinic’s practice of treating patients as young as three.
