Best Kept Secrets To Prevent, Halt, Or Even Reverse Macular Degeneration

POSTED ON APRIL 24, 2024 HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES

By Katherine Carroll, NTP
Have you ever felt your money was wasted on supplements? That even though you consistently followed the protocol from your health-care practitioner you were not getting the results others obtained with the same program? You may have been right! We’ve helped hundreds of patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) with these healing secrets designed to help “non-responders”; those for whom the average supplement and dietary protocol fails to work.
ARMD is the leading cause of blindness in elderly Western populations and it is marked by central vision loss where blind spots or scotomas intrude. Threading a needle and passing the driver’s licensing test eventually become impossible but ARMD is preventable – even reversible to some degree with the diligent, intelligently targeted efforts we have put into practice in our clinics to increase the chances of success.

The best doctor’s recommendations or nutritional consulting for ARMD are fruitless unless nutrients are able to be broken down or micellized, transported to the macula, and assimilated there. After years of observing how some patients prevent ARMD despite strong hereditary tendencies, how some halt or even reverse impending blindness, and how some patients actually get worse despite being on the same protocol, it became clear that powerful tactics were needed in addition to recommending dietary changes or supplements.
The strategies we employ are successful for many individuals and have applications far beyond the diagnosis of ARMD. They will influence conditions or diseases where proper fat breakdown is essential to impact issues such as dry eye, post-cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery) status, liver disease, etc. The eye, GI tract, liver, and gallbladder are intricately entwined. Think about it, when your liver is sick, your eyes turn yellow or jaundiced. When your GI tract is out of balance, red, itching “allergy” eyes often result. Interesting signaling! The solution is more complicated than just popping a supplement or even making some dietary changes. Are you ready to learn the secrets? Whether you have macular degeneration or not, these concepts will serve you well.
Best Kept Secret #1: Work from the GI Tract Outward
Some doctors, when pressed if they had only one system to specialize in, would tell you, “The GI tract.” Why? Because the GI tract is central to good health and its ability to affect the entire body so powerful when operating at its peak. It is here that we begin to improve vision. The target nutrients used in past studies[1] to prevent, halt, or reverse ARMD are lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, antioxidants, and fish oil. The carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene) concentrate in the central part of the retina, and help us identify colors and see fine details, so they are vital in a healing strategy. They also provide protection against blue light, which damages the retina. Building macular optical pigment density (MOPD) is the goal in this approach, replenishing the macula; but first we have to break down these carotenoids and antioxidants and then shuttle them to the macula by following several simple tactics.

Regenerate: Unlocking Your Body’s Radical Resilience through the New Biology

Dr. Stuart Richer, who demonstrated success in reversing macular degeneration with the LAST studies,[2] shares an encouraging increase in MOPD in the pictures below. From July 14, 2011, to October 6, 2011, the degree of MOPD increased by employing some of the following strategies. A picture is worth a thousand words and is the tool best used to motivate patients to committed action. These pictures give hope to those losing their eyesight; the macula is refilling nicely with lutein and zeaxanthin.

The graphs show MOPD, at baseline on the left and increasing in the right-hand picture reflected by the non-red portions of the image after nearly three months of supplementation use. This means the macula is refilling with lutein and zeaxanthin.
To ensure proper breakdown of supplements, use a good digestive supplement, preferably one that contains ox bile, taurine, lecithin, and adequate hydrochloric acid, or a combination of these. Thinning the bile is a major key to eye health as it will help more lutein get to the macula. Doing a liver/gallbladder flush[3] seasonally is an aggressive part of the plan, if one wishes to take a serious, logical approach. Remember, the liver and gallbladder influence the eye, so aim to create a healthy, fully functioning liver and gallbladder. We are not only our eyes. We are a complete system, so thinking from a systems biology approach[4] may create the desired healing response. To do this, head south to the GI tract first.

Interior Terrain Influences Absorption, So Start Clean
A well-functioning GI tract influences the eye tremendously. Support digestive ability by following the 4-R[5] or GI Restoration program. Absorption of the macula-replenishing carotenoids like beta-carotene will be hindered by the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria and/or an imbalance of intestinal bacteria. This interior terrain needs a healthy balance of good bacteria versus bad bacteria by using targeted supplements and the support of digestive enzymes along with the other approaches discussed in the 4-R protocol.
All of the targeted supplements and carotenoid-rich foods we suggest will not do you a bit of good unless they are first broken down or micellized.
As even Wikipedia notes, “Micelle formation is essential for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and complicated lipids within the human body. Bile salts formed in the liver and secreted by the gall bladder allow micelles of fatty acids to form. This allows the absorption of complicated lipids (e.g., lecithin) and lipid soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) within the micelle by the small intestine.”[6]
These are the micellizing “magicians” that get the job done: (1) Ox Bile: Supply exogenous ox bile, particularly to post-cholecystectomy patients; (2) Lecithin: (Sunflower or soy) can be added to the diet to aid in fat breakdown; and (3) Taurine: A precursor to bile production, which also thins bile.
Fat-soluble lutein and zeaxanthin, essential to replenish the macula, require being emulsified or broken down to the micellized state in order to enter the bloodstream for transport by a very surprising particle “shuttle,” high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Sufficient, Well-functioning Bile Is Vital
Bile acids are made from cholesterol in the liver and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder where they act as an emulsifying agent to break up fat into smaller globules, making it more soluble or hydrophilic. This process is called micelle formation. Fat and fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, K, beta-carotene, and the carotenoid family are carried to the intestinal mucosa, absorbed into the lymphatic system, and then into the bloodstream. So what is the best kept secret? First, break down the fat-soluble vitamins and then get them to the macula by raising HDL levels to 61 or above. Do you know what your HDL level is?
We discovered this secret by observing hundreds of macular-degeneration patients and had noted in their history that many had had their gallbladder removed or else they were obese or otherwise compromised and had trouble digesting fats, as evidenced by their dry skin, dry eyes, weight gain, gas and bloating, or floating or shiny stools after fatty meals had been consumed. The connection was obvious! No gallbladder, fat maldigestion, or liver or GI issues equaled problems. Half a million people a year are opting for cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery), not realizing that they can simply cleanse the liver and gallbladder with a “flush,”[7] which is basically an “oil change” that removes old, stasis bile and relieves symptoms in most cases. It is not hard or expensive to do and anyone can do it. And it is certainly worth a try.
However, we are concerned – particularly in a patient with macular degeneration who has undergone cholecystectomy – that fat-soluble vitamins be effectively broken down and absorbed. It is hoped that practitioners caring for macular-degeneration patients incorporate these strategies into their standard of care so that non-responders will have more chance of improvement.
But proper breakdown isn’t the end of the story. Nutrient transport is another key player. Call the HDL “Shuttle.”
Best Kept Secret #2: Lutein and Zeaxanthin Need HDL Particles
Lutein and zeaxanthin, critical components to replenish the macula, are carried in the bloodstream to the macula on HDL particles. That’s amazing. Carotenoids responsible for central vision hitch a ride on a cholesterol particle and hone in on their destination: the macula. And you thought cholesterol was the enemy … wrong! Cholesterol in a healthy ratio and thin bile are key players in this healthy-eye strategy.
Bile is made of bile salts, cholesterol esters, and lecithin. Keep cholesterol at a healthy, total level and at an optimal HDL-to-low density lipoprotein (LDL) ratio because if cholesterol is too low, we will not have enough of the raw materials we need to make bile. Be sure you have what it takes to make cholesterol. Even magnesium plays a part. Blood-serum concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin by proper breakdown of nutrients into micellized globules is important, but equally important is the ability to transport them to their targeted destination. Unless HDL cholesterol is adequate – at least 61 milligrams per deciliter – time and money are potentially wasted on supplements.
Strategies to Raise HDL
Since keeping your HDL at 61 mg/dl or over is important, you might consider the following strategies:

• Exercise: Regular exercise that raises your heart rate for 20 to 30 minutes increases HDL.
• Lose Weight and stop eating transfats: Carotenoids concentrate in the fat first, so if overweight, lose weight! Meantime, while you’re working on it, take more lutein and zeaxanthin and employ the most successful diet recorded to lose weight and reduce disease: the Hale Project[8] documented the amazing success of the Mediterranean Diet (MeDi). Not only is it a smart way to eat, but it also reduced all causes of death and disease by fifty percent in study participants aged 70-90 with active disease processes established after ten years adherence, practicing moderate red wine consumption, light exercise, and not smoking. Macular degeneration or not, this diet is proven!
• Drink Red Wine or use Resveratrol: High-altitude or heat-stressed vine wines from Argentina, Chile, Australia, or damp, moldy vines found in areas like the Finger Lakes of New York are typically higher in resveratrol and will not only raise HDL but also influence health at 1-2 glasses per day. If you don’t drink wine or it is contraindicated for you, then use non-alcoholic resveratrol.
• Take Niacin and Fish Oil: both increase HDL.
• Quit Smoking: Besides reducing HDL smoking asphyxiates the eye.
• Get an Oil Change: Remove all transfats from your diet and replace them with healthy, healing oils to raise your HDL. Employ olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, hemp oil, and flax oil.

There is strength in combining a multi-pronged approach, so consider employing the total approach. Preventing, halting, and even reversing blindness is worth every sacrifice or new habit employed to ensure success and these secrets are a winning combination.
Summarizing the Total Approach

• Aim for an HDL of 61 mg/dl.
• Lose weight, if needed, and take a combination of supplements proven to halt or reverse macular degeneration. If overweight, take more than the recommended amount of carotenoids or use water-soluble zeaxanthin. In either case, employ the MeDi. It extends life and reduces disease.
• Take a supplement that supports proper fat breakdown along with a good eye vitamin.
• Do the 4R program[9] and/or a liver/gallbladder flush in the Spring and Fall to improve fat assimilation.
• Flush and nourish the liver/gallbladder.
• Eat a preferably organic diet, rich in the carotenoids, to replenish the macular pigment (MOPD -remember the pictures?). Egg yolk, kale, spinach, collard and turnip greens lightly steamed, romaine lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, red and yellow vegetables, and fruits are all great sources.

Best Kept Secrets to Prevent, Halt, or Even Reverse Macular Degeneration (naturalblaze.com)

Declaring patients “brain dead” allows doctors to conduct lab-rat like experiments on the sick

If you or a loved one is ill, be careful going to the doctor because you could end up becoming a lab rat.Should you end up at the hospital in urgent care, you could end up becoming a victim of the "brain dead" deception whereby the medical profession is legally allowed to experiment on you.
Two "brain dead" men were recently exploited by The University of Alabama at Birmingham and the NYU Langone Transplant Institute in New York City, which implanted genetically modified (GMO) pig kidneys into the two men's bodies.
Because the two men were designated as no longer having functional brains, doctors decided that they were no longer humans worthy of life, in essence.
Since potentially deadly untested therapies are generally unattractive to people with functioning cognition, Western medicine is resorting to taking advantage of people who are unwell and thus unable to stop mad scientists from using them as lab rats.
Medical ethicists like Joel Zivot, MD, MA, JM are utterly appalled that this kind of thing is even allowed to happen because of how soulless and cruel it is. Zivot says that "brain death" is an excuse to turn living souls into resources and commodities that feed greed.
Human organs, it turns out, fetch a hefty profit for those who worship money. So, whenever there is an opportunity to extract them, they do so by falsely designating their victims as "brain dead."
"Most people do not receive any type of informed consent when they selflessly sign a donor card at the Department of Motor Vehicles and have no idea that they can be considered 'dead' while they are still respiring and have a beating heart," explains Heidi Klessig, MD, writing for American Thinker.
(Related: During the Wuhan coronavirus [COVID-19] "pandemic," government officials ordered doctors to kill their patients for the benefit of society.)
Never designate yourself as an organ donor on your license

Many good-hearted people have no idea that this type of thing even happens when they opt to become an organ donor on their driver license. Were the general public to ever learn the truth, everyone would likely opt out.
The problem is that most people have no idea that the "brain dead" scam even exists, which means those perpetrating it continue to get away with committing crimes against humanity for profit.
Sure, there are some standards in place that are supposed to protect patients being exploited like this, but the medical profession as a whole is deliberately relying on outdated definitions that allow them to basically get away with murder.
"While the UDDA requires 'cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brainstem' for a diagnosis of 'brain death,' doctors now generally follow the 2010 American Academy of Neurology Guidelines, which require only documentation of coma, a bedside test of brainstem reflexes and an apnea test," Klessig writes about the Uniform Determination of Death Act.
"No other special studies of 'the entire brain' are required."
As for the two men who now have GMO pig kidneys in their bodies, they will remain on ventilators as xenograft hosts until the medical profession is done exploiting them, or until they die – whichever comes first.
"If allowed, doctors will make patients 'brain dead' in order to attain more lab rats," wrote a reader. "Doctors are not angels."
"The stuff of what used to be science fiction," commented another.
"As a healthcare provider, I have been aware of this for some time which is why I revoked donor status on my driver license some time back," said another. "The sad thing is that I used to advocate for organ donation."

Freeze-drying (lyophilization) is a food preservation process where food is quickly frozen. Next, the ice turns into water vapor and is removed by placing the frozen food in a vacuum, resulting in a dehydrated product.If you want to freeze-dry food at home, you will need special equipment.
To save time and money, you can build your survival stockpile by purchasing lab-verified and organic freeze-dried fruits and vegetables from trusted manufacturers. (h/t to Livestrong.com)
Benefits of freeze-drying food

Astronauts, campers, backpackers, food manufacturers and the military use a variety of freeze-dried foods.
As a prepper, you can also buy freeze-dried foods for home use or your survival stockpile. Additionally, you can also buy entire meals in freeze-dried form.
Note that almost all foods can be freeze-dried.
Here are some of the prepping and survival benefits of freeze-dried food:

• Food becomes lighter once the water is removed after freeze-drying. This means freeze-dried items are portable, which is ideal if you plan on moving or bringing large amounts of food when you are bugging out after SHTF.
• Freeze-dried foods usually retain most of their nutritional quality, taste, shape and size. This ensures that you can feed your family nutritious meals even when dealing with a long-term survival scenario.
• Freeze-dried foods do not require refrigeration, and they can last for months or years in your survival stockpile.

To rehydrate freeze-dried foods like kale or blueberries, rehydrate them using either cold or hot water. If you plan on going camping, this allows you to carry the food you need without worrying about having a way to keep the food cold or to heat it.

Where to get lab-verified, organic freeze-dried food

Freeze-dried foods are handy and their long shelf life makes them a great addition to your emergency food stockpile.
Before disaster strikes, prepare your stockpile and purchase a variety of freeze-dried fruit and vegetable products.

Dynamic duo: Why TURMERIC and BLACK PEPPER are a powerful combination

04/25/2024 // Olivia Cook // 2.9K Views

Turmeric and black pepper are noteworthy for their stand-alone health benefits. But when combined, this dynamic duo becomes a powerhouse of healing.Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has substantial amounts of the plant compound curcumin. This phytochemical is a strong antioxidant that also boasts of being able to fight inflammation, bacteria and fungi. But this bright yellow spice has one drawback – the body cannot absorb it well, with most amounts of curcumin being eliminated.
Meanwhile, black pepper (Piper nigrum) is rich in piperine, a bioactive compound that gives this spice its signature pungency. Piperine is similar to the alkaloid capsaicin, which is present in chili powder and cayenne pepper. This phytochemical has been shown to help address nausea, headaches, poor digestion and inflammation.
But piperine's most notable quality lies in its ability to enhance the body's absorption of curcumin. Adding black pepper to turmeric can mitigate the poor absorption of curcumin into the bloodstream. According to research, supplementing C. longa with P. nigrum significantly improves the body's curcumin uptake by a huge degree.
A study published in the Planta Medica journal expounded on this. Researchers from India examined how curcumin alone and piperine-curcumin in tandem was absorbed in both animal and human models. According to the study, adding 20 milligrams of piperine to two grams of curcumin notably increased the latter's absorption.
In rats given both piperine and curcumin, the bioavailability of the latter increased by as much as 154 percent. Meanwhile, the bioavailability of curcumin in human participants increased by 2,000 percent when supplemented with piperine.

There are two prevailing theories explaining this phenomenon, as outlined by two separate studies. The first theory was outlined in a study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine. According to the paper, piperine may facilitate the passage of curcumin through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
Meanwhile, a February 1986 study in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics suggested that piperine might inhibit the liver's breakdown of curcumin. This, in turn, elevates the amount of curcumin entering the bloodstream, translating to health benefits.
How to best enjoy the incredible health benefits of turmeric and black pepper

Here are some examples of how you can combine turmeric and black pepper:

• Brew a tea by simmering turmeric powder and black pepper in water for about 10 minutes. You can enhance its flavor by adding a dash of honey or lemon.
• Create a paste by mixing turmeric powder with a small amount of black pepper and water or oil to form a thick consistency. Apply this paste topically to areas experiencing pain, such as joints or muscles and gently massage it into the skin. Leave it on for some time before rinsing off.
• Look for supplements that contain both turmeric extract (curcumin) and black pepper extract (piperine).

It's important to note that while turmeric and black pepper have been studied for their potential anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, individual responses may vary. It's always a good idea to consult with a natural health practitioner before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.

Excerpt:
Riyadh: The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture launched an urban vertical farm project for food markets and stores, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The initiative, the first of its kind in the region, allows customers to obtain fresh food products grown in the Kingdom.
The ministry’s undersecretary, Ahmed Al-Eyada, attended the launch of the project, which was implemented by a leading bioagriculture company.
Danube markets in Riyadh is hosting the first vertical farm in the project. Commercial display units in the market contain a variety of plants and agricultural products, such as lettuce, coriander, parsley and broccoli — many of which were previously sourced from abroad.
The ministry aims to launch about 600 to 1,000 farms in the retail system across all markets in the Kingdom over the next five years. These farms are intended to meet 20 to 40 percent of domestic demand for agricultural products and vegetables.
Vertical urban farms in stores aim to preserve natural resources, maintain ecosystem balance and promote sustainable productivity. By shortening supply chains, they also reduce loss and waste, and introduce a new farming model suited to local farmers and businesses in the Kingdom.
The initiative offers multiple benefits for consumers by providing high-quality vegetables and fruits that retain their freshness and nutritional value for up to five times longer than traditional methods, the SPA reported.

Licorice is an effective breast cancer fighter, research reveals

by: Dr. Veronique Desaulniers | April 29, 2024


(NaturalHealth365) Licorice has been proven in numerous studies to stop cancer in its tracks, especially when it comes to breast cancer tumors. But this humble yet powerful herb has also gotten a bad rap for its association with heart arrhythmias, drops in potassium levels, and even heart attacks in some individuals.
What is the real deal about licorice? Is it a healer or a health threat? Keep reading for the true facts that every cancer patient needs to know.
Licorice: Don’t overdo it, and stay away from the candy!

Let’s cut right to the chase and first talk about what all the fuss is about. The FDA and others warn that you can overdose on too much licorice – and for some individuals, this is absolutely true. According to the FDA:
“…black licorice contains the compound glycyrrhizin, which is the sweetening compound derived from licorice root. Glycyrrhizin can cause potassium levels in the body to fall. When that happens, some people experience abnormal heart rhythms, as well as high blood pressure, edema (swelling), lethargy, and congestive heart failure.”
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts add that too much licorice may have an effect on adrenal hormones and can lead to a condition called pseudoaldosteronism.
For these reasons, most experts recommend that healthy individuals interested in using the vast healing power of licorice utilize deglycyrrhizinated licorice, or DGL, where the glycyrrhizin has been removed (although glycyrrhizin itself is considered to be one of the healing substances in the root). Many also recommend not using any licorice product or supplement for more than four weeks at a time. Of course, if you experience any of the symptoms mentioned above, stop using it right away.

I would add that if you are on any kind of cancer-healing protocol, stay away from the candy version. This is not a healthy way to utilize the healing effects of this powerful herb. The “candy” version often contains more sugar than the actual herbal extract, and science has confirmed that cancer feeds on sugar. In addition, many commercially processed licorice candies are created using ammonium chloride.
Although no tests have been done as yet to determine this chemical’s carcinogenic effects, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control have found that chronic exposure to ammonium chloride can lead to acute respiratory problems.
What are the powerful cancer-killing properties?

Interestingly, the University of Massachusetts researchers and others in Western medicine recommend that individuals with hormone-sensitive cancers (such as breast, ovarian, uterine, and prostate cancer) avoid using licorice altogether.
However, this advice is in direct contrast to recent studies that have found specific tumor-reducing, immune-boosting, and hormone-regulating factors within the root.
Researchers at the University Sains School of Medical Sciences in Kelantan, Malaysia, discovered eight different bioactive immunomodulators within herbs such as licorice, curcumin, apricot, ginseng, and a host of others. Of these eight, four of them can be found in licorice, including:

• Ajoene, an anti-fungal
• Arctigenin, a lignan with anti-cancer effects
• β-carotene, a powerful anti-oxidant; and
• Glabridin acid can also prevents DNA damage caused by oxidation.

Other studies have found similar connections between the properties of licorice and breast cancer healing and prevention:

1. Researchers at Rutgers University were able to isolate a particular polyphenol molecule, ß-hydroxy-DHP (BHP), extracted from licorice root. This molecule has the ability to kill breast and prostate cancer tumor cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected.
2. The Chinese have long used licorice root as a hormone balancer and for complications associated with menopause. A study conducted by Nanjing Medical University in Nanjing, China, looked specifically at the Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) content found in licorice root and its effect on estrogen-positive breast cancer. The researchers found that licorice extract had an effect on estrogen levels that was breast cancer-preventative in a dose-dependent manner: the DMSO stunted cancer cell proliferation in high doses yet had the opposite effect at low doses.
3. Other studies have found that licorice root helps to positively balance testosterone metabolism, decrease serotonin re-uptake, and reduce cortisol levels, all three of which are important to breast cancer prevention and healing.
4. Finally, licorice has proven to be a powerful immune system regulator. Isoliquiritigenin and Naringenin found in the root can promote T cell growth. Glycyrrhizin and other flavonoids found in licorice can help reduce inflammation in the body overall.

Consider licorice as part of your breast cancer healing toolbox

There are so many powerful herbs found in nature that contain powerful cancer-healing properties. With over 400 compounds in one small root, licorice can definitely be considered among them. Ancient cultures from India to Greece knew this; licorice has been used all over the world for thousands of years as a hormone-balancer, immune system booster, aid for oral health, digestive aid, and more. Now, modern science is discovering the exact mechanisms that make it a true healer.
If you are considering using this herbal wonder as part of your breast cancer healing protocol, be sure to do so with the help of a qualified healthcare provider. In addition, certain tests, such as the Research Genetics Cancer Center (RGCC) Test, may be able to pinpoint if licorice supplementation is right for your breast cancer journey.

PRIME Drinks facing lawsuit after tests show each beverage contains 3X the LIFETIME amount of “forever chemicals”

The manufacturer of PRIME Drinks, a popular hydration brand created by influencer Logan Paul, is being sued after the beverages were found to contain three times the amount of "forever chemicals" a person can safely consume in an entire lifetime, according to reports.Paul's electrolyte brand was found to contain PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid), a grouping of toxic chemicals known as perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) that persist inside the body and lead to health conditions like cancer and other chronic illnesses.
"PRIME is now getting sued and you should be seriously concerned if you have any prime since it released," tweeted the Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) account on X.
"So prime is now going through a new lawsuit after it was discovered that their drink has PFOS which is forever chemicals but what's really concerning is the fact that the lawyer who tested their drink is claiming it has three times the amount of forever chemicals a human can safely have in their lifetime and the lawsuit is claiming they found these forever chemicals in the grape flavored prime drink."

(Related: Last spring, Canadian scientists came up with a novel filtration method capable of permanently removing forever chemicals from drinking water.)
Skip the PRIME, kiddos

While the grape-flavored version of PRIME was apparently the primary focus of a forever chemicals investigation, it appears as though other flavors of the same brand are also contaminated with PFOS.
"One lawyer on TikTok actually spoke about this and said he had a 10 year old and his mother talked to him about how her son got leukemia after drinking prime. Now knowing that prime contains these chemicals, it's very much likely because of it," Wall Street Apes further tweeted.
"These chemicals are known to cause cancers and deteriorate your health since they're forever chemicals and your body can't get rid of them. Prime has 3 times the amount of these chemicals a person should have in their lifetime."
PRIME comes in little single-use packets much like other popular hydration brands, so beware when shopping that you do not accidentally pick one up instead of a better, safer brand.

"FDA is a worthless department," someone commented on X, wondering where the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is in all this (probably too busy going after raw milk and Amish farmers, no doubt). "Get rid of them or make them do their job."
"FDA cooperates hand-in-hand with Big Pharma," responded another, explaining that current FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb also sits on the Board of Directors at Pfizer.
"The food that makes us sick lines pharma's pockets. They incentivize one another. Just as corrupt as the current regime."
"Nothing is safe to eat anymore," said someone else. Stay away from the interior aisles of your grocery store. Even all Campbell's soups have GMOs now."
