A new Trump administration will further loosen already-lax rules on supplements Under a renewed Trump administration, advocates of natural health anticipate a further reduction in FDA oversight overdietary supplements, sparking concerns among public health experts. The article highlights the significant risks associated with widely marketed supplements like weight loss and muscle-building products, which often contain liver toxins such as green tea extract and potentially harmful substances like peptides. Experts argue that looser regulations could allow these products, already tied to adverse effects such as liver damage and increased risk of eating disorders, to proliferate unchecked. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., allied with Trump, has expressed intentions to dismantle the FDA’s restrictions on various natural products, including nutraceuticals, which he views as beneficial but unpatentable by pharmaceutical companies. However, public health professionals caution that such moves could intensify predatory practices by supplement marketers, particularly toward young audiences on social media. States like New York and New Jersey have recently restricted the sale of such supplements to minors, and advocates fear federal deregulation could undermine these protections. The article underscores the significant financial and lobbying power of the supplement industry, likening their tactics to those used by Big Tobacco to undermine scientific evidence and delay regulation.

Hour 2
After Trump’s win, some women are considering the 4B movement In the wake of Donald Trump’s re-election, a growing number of U.S. women are showing interest in the South Korean 4B movement, whichadvocates rejecting marriage, childbirth, dating, and sex with men. Initially gaining traction in South Korea in response to gender inequality and safety concerns, the 4B movement emphasizes a self-sustaining life free from traditional male partnerships. This resurgence in the U.S. is attributed to disillusionment with male voters who supported Trump, despite his controversial record on women’s rights, including the Supreme Court appointments that influenced abortion rights. Many women engaging in 4B-inspired conversations are sharing their frustration on platforms like TikTok, advocating for personal empowerment and independence. Some critics, however, question the movement’s relevance in the U.S., noting the complexity of patriarchy and the role women themselves play in its perpetuation. While some women hope the 4B principles will inspire broader gender equality, others see the trend as a fleeting response to political disappointment. Advocates for the movement argue it’s less about disdain for men and more about prioritizing personal autonomy and protection, especially in a sociopolitical climate perceived as dismissive of women’s rights.
Special Guest – Doc Harmony!
My story begins with Christopher, my first-born son, who was diagnosed with an ear infection. For the next six months, he repeatedly had ear infections and was given several rounds of antibiotics. However, none of them worked. As a matter of fact, the last antibiotic he ever took caused him to vomit them up violently. At this point, I was angry, frustrated, scared and alone as a single mother (with Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance) and I thought, “enough is enough”.
I really had no idea where to go or what solutions were available. At the time, I was working on one of the top floors of Georgia Power (Southern Company) and I was on the fast track to success in Corporate America as I was one year away from finishing up my Bachelor’s Degree in International Studies with a minor in Economics.
Going to school, working full time and taking care of Christopher was tough but as I watched Christopher’s health decline, nothing else really matter. Thank goodness I remembered Dr. James Berryhill! He is a Naturopathic doctor that lives and works in Decatur, Georgia. I visited Dr. Berryhill and he recommended ear candles. I was completely ignorant and had no information about these ‘things’. I was very perplexed and thought it was an incredibly strange idea – “Stick a lit candle in my little boys ear?”.
But I was desperate and out of ideas. I was determined not to let the doctors cajole me into another round of antibiotics that, clearly, were not working! So, I went and purchased ear candles from Rainbow Natural Foods in Decatur. Boy, were they expensive at the time! Christopher and I went home and I used 4 ear candles in the ear that was infected while we watched “The Little Mermaid” and he sucked on a red lollipop. (Remember, I knew nothing about natural health at this time!)
As I candled Christopher, I watched him become more and more relaxed, and the candles were definitely not hurting him. The ear candles seemed to be providing him with relief and comfort. It was pretty amazing yet mysterious to me. I can attest that Christopher has never had an ear infection again. Shortly after the ear candling session, Dr. Berryhill called me and was encouraging me to “make ear candles and sell them”. He promised to teach me what he knew as he had been trained at the Royal Academy of London. As a matter of fact, Dr. Berryhill, is part of the lineage to be the Queen’s doctor. I laughed. Seriously. Around this time, I got married and had my second child, a beautiful, precious little girl. And, at the same time, I pulled my back trying to learn how to golf (remember I was climbing the corporate ladder) and met Dr. Grant, a chiropractor.
During this pregnancy, I was very reluctant to go to the hospital due to my last experience with Christopher at the hospital. Dr. Grant introduced me to Debbie Pully, a homebirth midwife and I birthed my healthy daughter at home. It was wonderful and amazing! I wouldn’t do it any other way and I highly recommend it.
My life was beginning to change dramatically and I could feel the pull of a new calling in life. Ear Candles, Dr. Grant, and home birthing was quite the opposite of what my original career goals were – to become CEO of a multinational corporation! But this new lifestyle was not compatible with working for an energy company.
I had already begun making ear candles in the home under Dr. Berryhills mentoring and I had been sharing them with other single moms, mothers and families that were in need. What we all saw, experienced and observed was amazing!
$1,920,000,000,000 Debt Explosion Hits US As International Monetary Fund Issues Dire Warning on Nation’s ‘Loose Fiscal Policy’ The U.S. has added nearly $2 trillion to its national debt since thebeginning of 2024, reaching over $35.91 trillion. This rapid debt increase comes as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issues a stark warning about the nation’s unsustainable fiscal policies. The IMF urges the U.S. to adopt a more disciplined financial approach, advising that without immediate adjustments, the country faces risks of market-imposed corrections or economic instability. Both the U.S. and China are cited as major economies with unsustainable debt trajectories, with current fiscal plans failing to stabilize debt dynamics. The IMF emphasizes a need for gradual, multiyear fiscal adjustments, warning against both inaction and overly sharp cuts, which could hinder economic growth. This call for responsible debt management is part of a broader forecast, with global public debt expected to surpass $100 trillion by the end of 2024 and potentially reaching 100% of global GDP by 2030. The IMF’s recommendations highlight the need for credible fiscal discipline to mitigate potential economic disruptions.
‘We’re switching over to jars’: Homeowner warns against black plastic containers to store food Concerns about the safety of black plastic food containers are growing as some consumers, like TikTok user Wendy, share warnings about potential toxic risks. Wendy’s video, which gained significant attention, claims that black plastic containers often originate from recycled electronics and can contain hazardous substances such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), chemicals known for their flame-retardant properties. Studies from institutions like CNN Health and the University of Plymouth indicate that black plastics can release dangerous toxins, including heavy metals, into food, raising cancer risks and possibly impacting brain and thyroid health. Wendy demonstrates an alternative approach in her video, switching to glass jars as a safer, affordable food storage solution. She emphasizes that glass, unlike black plastic, avoids toxic leaching and is easy to source from used items. While some online users support her switch to glass and recommend additional options like IKEA glass containers, others argue the risks of black plastic are overstated. Environmental groups, however, caution that black plastics, due to their composition and lack of recyclability, may pose greater risks than other materials.
