What Happened to Childhood Vaccines in 1988?
Ever since vaccine companies could not be made liable for any side-effects of inoculations, vaccinations applied with a needle into the skin officially became "Unavoidably Unsafe" (US Supreme Court quote).
This was when in late 1988 vaccine manufacturers started adding the mercury substance Thimerosal to the shots as a so-called preservative to save money (50 cents a dose!). However, after the addition of mercury and other adjuvants (such as aluminum), researchers have noticed an increase in Sudden Infant Death (SIDS), autism, stunted development of children, and also fertility issues.
My guest Ricky L Barnes, maker of the documentary "50 Cents a Dose" explains what he has learned while making this movie; also, how pharmaceutical companies received government contracts, and he talks about the resistance experienced bringing this project to the larger audience.

Are Antidepressants Driving Us Crazy?
My worry about over-prescribing antidepressants has been longstanding.
Is it really about money and kickbacks, or are doctors really that gifted that they understand the human mind better than the individual with the actual emotional instability?
What's behind the mental pain? What's the story? The abuse? The grief? The self-esteem issue? You name it; there are many options that don't need an antidepressant. They need a professional listening ear, encouragements, a plan and a strategy.
The Birth Control Pill - A Short History
The first birth control pill came out in 1957 when it was initially approved by the FDA to regulate menstruation by disrupting estrogens.
Birth control pills contain either Progestin, which is a synthetic form of natural Progesterone, or they contain a combination of progestin AND estrogen. The purpose is to disrupt natural hormone production.
Is THAT what YOU want?
The Immune-Boosting Power of Echinacea.
According to VeryWellHealth.com echinacea has been used as a remedy for conditions such as toothaches, stomach pain, snake bites, skin disorders, chronic arthritis, and in the fight against different cancers.
Echinacea’s major effect on the immune system is its stimulation of white blood cell production. This in turn helps to purify the blood, and protect us from infections.
I always suggest that echinacea is more an “immune BOOSTER”, kinda like kicking our immune system into gear; whereas other herbs, such as Astragalus, are more into BUILDING the immune system.
