Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 7 hours ago
Between June 19 and July 23, 2015, eight holistic doctors (at least five with connections to Florida) were found dead – each death unexpected and mysterious. It all started with the death of Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, a well-known autism researcher – killed by a gunshot to the chest. He died shortly after FDA raided his clinic, which raised alarm in many people’s heads. (He wasn’t only doctor who was raided right before their death). What’s the motive? There’s a surprising link being found between many of these doctors– they knew what GcMAF was. GcMAF is a “Vitamin D binding protein macro...

*Eugene B. Kogan* *Politics, United States* Our national disruption has significant diplomatic implications. Reweaving the fabric of civil dialogue must be a national priority, and mediation is the way to do it right. “Too many Americans see our public life, not as an arena for mediation of our differences,” Joe Biden has observed, but “as an occasion for total, unrelenting, partisan warfare.” Mediation can be defined as the convening of people across differences in service of responsible problem-solving.
