The Devil in the Milk
February 22nd, 2010There is no food I am asked about more than milk, should we drink it, should we not? What about raw milk?

H1N1 Fear Mongering
September 3rd, 2009In the history of the pharmaceutical business I don't believe big pharma has ever so blatantly and obviously manipulated the public in an effect to sell a vaccine. The H1N1 fear mongering has reached unprecedented proportions, the cover of The Vancouver Sun on Aug 29, made it look like we better hunker down and kiss our loved ones goodbye.
