The FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelic, peptide, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapy, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean food, sun, exercise, nutraceutical and anything else that promotes human health and cannot be patented by Pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Keep your records and 2. Pack your bags.

Alas. And when President-elect Trump later told Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that he could “go nuts” overseeing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), among other HHS divisions? Double whoa.

But what we will do is present you with the latest facts and findings so you can come to your own informed conclusions about what and who to believe. These conversations are just the beginning, and you’ll want to read on.
