Natural News

• President Trump has promoted “gold standard” scientific openness and integrity in a recent executive order. The order, which mandates transparency and objectivity in science, is designed to provide protection for those with dissenting views and safeguards against political interference in the scientific process, in an effort to restore faith, which has been badly damaged by the misuse of science during the covid ‘pandemic’
• Following publication of the previously mentioned executive order, Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, told Gary Brecka on the Ultimate Human Podcast that NIH scientists could be prevented from publishing in some mainstream scientific journals “…because they’re all corrupt.” Instead, independent NIH-backed journals will be established in each health institute to set scientific standards. ANH has experienced first-hand the censorship meted out when published science doesn’t support the mainstream narrative, but whilst the desire to create independent scientific journals is to be applauded, we would question just how independent such government supported journals might be in the longer term given the revolving doors that have long existed between Big Pharma and the regulators
• Would you opt for an e-face ‘tattoo’ (spoiler – it’s stick on!) that can tell when your brain is working too hard? Researchers, publishing in Device, have developed a temporary, wireless “e-tattoo” to monitor the mental workload of people involved in safety-critical tasks. The new system, which will pump EMFs directly into people’s brains, takes humans yet another step closer to the integration of technology and humans (known as transhumanism) compounding our inexorable separation from nature.

• Once viewed as a normal childhood illness, measles is now feared by parents globally. Since covid reared its head, many parents had begun to question the need for and safety of childhood vaccines, including the measles vaccine, leading to a drop in vaccination rates. A new study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, is clearly set as a response. The researchers find that babies are unprotected (seronegative) after 4 months and at their lowest level of what they feel is protection at 7 months. In the US, babies as young as 6 months that are travelling internationally or residing in a high risk area are recommended to get the measles vaccine. In the UK, the second dose of the MMR has been brought forward from 3 years and 4 months to 18 months. 
• The importance of a mother’s love in early childhood as children move into adolescence is brought to the fore by a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry. The more love a child experiences from their mother before age 3, the safer they feel at age 14, which leads to better physical and mental health at age 17 and beyond
• AI technologies are being ushered in by governments and organisations across the globe at breathtaking speed with little or no consideration of the potential threats from the technology. A recent report ‘AI agents: The new attack surface’ from identity security provider, Sailpoint, raises serious concerns about the accuracy, safety, transparency, robustness, alignment and trustworthiness of AI systems, particularly given the unfettered access they have to a range of highly sensitive data. Such concerns should be enough to immediately pause AI development to ensure robust security back-ups are in place and that if needed – the proverbial plug can be pulled!

• Call to Action for those who live in an area with fluoridated water or an area threatened with water fluoridation in the UK. The Fluoride Free Alliance UK, in collaboration with Kingfisher Justice is mounting a legal challenge to stop water fluoridation in the UK once and for all. To get involved with the group legal challenge, contact Kingfisher Justice.

• The push is on to get gene edited plants, created using ‘new genomic techniques’ (NGTs), approved for use in organic farming in the EU. In a paper published in Cell Reports Sustainability, researchers with ties to the agritech industry call for NGTs to be incorporated into organic agriculture in order to improve crop yields as the industry seeks to gloss over the fact that NGTs are created in a lab and far distant from nature’s own creations and organic principles
• Fertility levels are dropping globally. Rarely discussed is the issue of male infertility. As with so many modern health issues the reasons are myriad and complex. Rather than looking at the problem from a whole health and environmental perspective, researchers are now working to produce human sperm from lab-engineered testicular tissue thus reducing the motivation for individuals to tackle lifestyle- and environment-related health issues
• Insect protein production has been given a €26 million boost in Finland. A new facility being created by biotech company, Volare, is considered to be central to the EU’s strategy to create new protein forms. The production process, which will utilise plant waste as food for the black soldier fly, will create protein, oil and fertiliser. Insect protein’s scalability, consumer acceptance, and environmental impact remain unproven at industrial levels, raising questions about whether such ventures can truly replace meat or significantly alter Europe’s protein landscape.

• Small scale testing of tampons in 2024, by the Pesticide Action Network UK (PAN UK) found high levels of glyphosate in the products tested. A new report, ‘Blood, Sweat and Pesticides’ from PAN UK and the Women’s Environmental Network (Wen) highlights the dangers to women from the use of contaminated period products, made from cotton—one of the most highly sprayed crops the world over—due to ability of the chemicals to be absorbed through the vaginal mucosa, bypassing the body’s detoxification systems, and straight into the body. Together PAN UK and Wen are calling on the UK Government to tackle the issue of chemical contamination of period products and protect women’s health. Choosing only organic cotton tampons is highly recommended. 

ANH-USA Update

• A slew of Executive Orders (EOs) released by the Trump administration in recent months are slowly opening the door for Americans to choose natural health options. The ANH-USA team take a look at five of the recent EOs and what they mean for the health of Americans. Read more…
• The recent and hasty adoption of the World Health Organization’s Pandemic Treaty may seem like a done deal. But, it’s far from complete and continues to threaten national sovereignty in the event of future health crises. Grassroots opposition is still essential to prevent the creation of draconian control systems that will affect people globally, in the event of further pandemics. Why we should stand together to oppose the treaty.

Post-Covid related

• Last week saw the formal withdrawal of the covid jab for healthy children and pregnant women, from the US Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) recommended vaccine schedule
• A major international perspective view, published in The International Journal of Public Health, asks the question ‘What can be learned from the management of the COVID-19 pandemic?’. The review identifies major problems with many of the policies implemented by governments and health authorities and shows the impact on public health society and scientific progress of said policies. The review makes seven recommendations to mitigate such issues should a similar situation occur in future
• A recent Rasmussen survey of American adults found that over 50% of those surveyed believe covid vaccines may have caused heart problems for some people. The survey results follow the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) order to covid vaccine manufacturers to expand their warnings about the risk of heart damage
• Concerns are being raised over the alarming increase in heart-related deaths at home, in the US, since 2020, in a new study published in JAMA Network Open
• Following the declaration by the US Health and Human Services (HHS) that all new vaccines will be required to undergo placebo-controlled trials prior to being approved, the FDA has approved the use of a self-amplifying mRNA covid vaccine (samRNA) from Moderna, called mNEXSPIKE. However, instead of requiring a placebo-controlled trial, the approval is based on a clinical trial comparing the new vaccine with Moderna’s previous mRNA-1273 vaccine, (known as Spikevax). The approval raises significant concerns that the FDA continues to pay court to big pharma, while playing with the lives of Americans
• Serious safety concerns surrounding samRNA vaccines are raised by the results of a newly published clinical trial in Vaccines. The trial conducted in Uganda, tested the samRNA vaccine in 42 healthy adults. A total of 39 Grade 3 or higher adverse events (AERs) occurred following the second dose of the jab. Despite the high level of AERs, the trial authors describe the vaccine as “well tolerated”. Nicolas Hulscher, MPH has more on the Focal Points Substack
• A new paper, published in Medical Research Archives, authored by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) researchers, reveals how US government health agencies failed to carry out proper pharmocovigilance to monitor the safety of covid shots. Full details of the paper and its findings from the CHD team.
