They now are targeting True Value hardware stores. NaturalSociety 2015 Aug 18 (Story) (Cached)

Major US aquifers in the Midwest and in California are tainted by nitrates, a contaminant from chemical fertilizers and animal waste. Nitrates oxidize natural uranium in the soil, making it soluble in groundwater. These aquifers, which provide water to one sixth of US cropland, now have up to 180 times the safe level of uranium, and this is being delivered to the nation’s food supply. The High Plains aquifer gives water to eight states, from South Dakota to Texas. The Central Valley, in its turn, provides California’s most fertile agricultural regions.

RECHARGE
Aging is linked to shortening of telomeres, the tips of chromo-somes found in all cells.Every time cells replace themselves, telomeres become shorter. Eventually, they become so short that chromosomes are damaged and cells no longer can regenerate. Aging is the result. RECHARGE holds the promise of reversing that process. (More)

FREEDOM IN ONE LESSON
A Discourse by G. Edward Griffin.Agents of a just state derive authority solely from the citizens they serve. That means the state may use physical force to do only those things that individual citizens may use force to do, which is the defense of life, liberty, and property - nothing more. The state, therefore, must be purely defensive, not creative or aggressive, in all that it does. Freedom flows from that. DVD (More)

WORLD WITHOUT CANCER

The Story of Vitamin B17 G. Edward Griffin marshals evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease, like scurvy or pellagra, caused by the lack of an essential food factor in modern man's diet. That substance is amygdalin, also known as vitamin B17 or Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine rejected this concept? The answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics ‒ the economic agenda of those who dominate the medical industry. (More)

GLOBAL WARMING AND GLOBAL FEUDALISM
A discourse by G. Edward Griffin.Griffin fields questions about the UN, global warming, and how these topics are tied together. Is the UN our last best hope for peace or global feudalism?

If the mission of the World Health Organization is not world health, then what is it? (More)

REMOVE CHLORINE FROM YOUR SHOWER

It is common for health-conscious families to install chlorine-removal filters in their kitchens, but we absorb more chlorine through our skin when taking a bath than we do from drinking water. That's because the body's skin surface is larger than the intestinal surface and because the lungs, too, are efficient absorbers, and we inhale a substantial amount of chlorine gas while bathing.

BLUE
We are told that human activity is threatening the Earth. The 'green' response is to sacrifice freedom, living standards, and property rights to save the planet. This is not a sustainable solution because it ends in human servitude to the state. The real agenda is not conservancy of nature, but political control over people. The new Green is merely the old Red. BLUE exposes this subversive agenda. (More)
