'Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. She made the surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009.

Her speech was supposed to promote the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines, but she instead turned on her corporate bosses in a very public way. When questioned about the presentation, audience members remarked that they came away feeling that the vaccines should not be used.'

'Want an easy way to start a highly-profitable, $200 million-per-year health fad? Tell the insomnia industry that your “all-natural” supplement is the cure-all secret to sleep problems, and buy your own “research” to support your claims!

Yep, I’m referring to the absurdity of the “melatonin madness” craze, which has been going strong since the mid-90s. The wildly-exaggerated and outright-fraudulent claims used to sell the supplement have been bafflingly successful, in spite of the grave lack of legitimate scientific evidence to support them. 

The very few selected studies which point to the supposed benefits of melatonin are seriously flawed—with one even found to have been conducted by a scientist who owns a company that sells melatonin!'

'UC Berkeley researchers have found that a lack of sleep, which is common in anxiety disorders, may play a key role in ramping up the brain regions that contribute to excessive worrying.

Neuroscientists have found that sleep deprivation amplifies anticipatory anxiety by firing up the brain’s amygdala and insular cortex, regions associated with emotional processing. 

The resulting pattern mimics the abnormal neural activity seen in anxiety disorders. Furthermore, their research suggests that innate worriers — those who are naturally more anxious and therefore more likely to develop a full-blown anxiety disorder — are acutely vulnerable to the impact of insufficient sleep.'

'Many of our favorite foods are replete with physiologically significant concentrations of the super-antioxidant, anti-cancer and sleep-modulating hormone known as melatonin.

Studies on melatonin have documented that the body’s own melatonin production helps us fall asleep, yet research on supplemental melatonin has been disappointing. 

What many have missed is that certain foods provide natural forms of melatonin, which have been shown to raise melatonin blood levels naturally and significantly aid sleep.'
