CDC Expands Ebola Risk Factors For Forcible Quarantine

Over 214,000 Doctors Opt Out of Obamacare Exchanges

Over 214,000 doctors won’t participate in the new plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA,) analysis of a new survey by Medical Group Management Association shows.

Boosting Your Immune System: What NOT to Eat

Tis the season for the flu shot propaganda machine to rev into high gear, as Big Pharma, the CDC, and the mainstream media urge people to roll up their sleeves and have toxins like mercury and formaldehyde injected into them, all in the name of “staying healthy this winter.” There’s a much easier way to stay healthy that also involves toxins – the ones in our food supply. Only I recommend avoiding them instead of injecting them directly into your body.

CDC Finally Admits Ebola Spread Through Air Up to 3 Feet

This information has been known all along by the Centers for Disease Control, but for some reason the CDC has not told the public up until now.
