Dr. Lyons-Weiler states the case of pharma domination of the health industry and of our medical freedom of choice. And as Robert DeNiro put it, once you use your freedom of speech against big pharma, “something happens”. They try to stifle discussion as if alien troll mongers were standing ready to eliminate any talk of health alternatives other than drugs and to make sure we never even think there is any other reality.

The 20,000 or so species of pollinators are key to hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of crops each year – from fruits and vegetables to coffee and chocolate. Yet 2 out of 5 species of invertebrate pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, are on the path toward extinction, said the first-of-its-kind report.
