A Major “Safety Study” on Roundup Has Been Retracted

A scientific paper long cited by Monsanto, regulators, and industry groups as “proof” that Roundup and glyphosate are safe has just been officially retracted due to serious ethical concerns.

The journal found evidence of undisclosed conflicts of interest, ghost-writing, and misrepresentation of who actually authored the study. For years, this paper shaped regulatory decisions and public perception, despite now being deemed unreliable.

This retraction raises major questions:
How many chemical approvals rely on compromised or industry-influenced science?
And who is protecting public health when the science isn’t independent?

It’s time for a full, transparent review of glyphosate safety based on independent research, not industry narratives.

This includes a chiropractic adjustment too!

We tend to believe healing requires huge life changes, but your body responds to the smallest shifts.

Little choices compound. Keep choosing them.

Holding a sleeping baby provides comforting, predictable, nurturing touch (affective touch) that calms the baby’s nervous system, reducing stress hormones and strengthening the communication between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) (rational thought) and the amygdala (fear/emotion center). This builds a strong PFC-amygdala circuit, teaching the brain that stress is manageable and signals safety, which fosters better emotion regulation and reduces the likelihood of an overactive fear response, thereby lowering future anxiety.

🗂️How Holding Strengthens Connections:

📑Calms the Nervous System: Gentle, consistent touch stimulates the release of oxytocin and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels.

📑Builds Neural Pathways: This soothing input, especially during sleep when the brain processes emotions, helps form stronger, more efficient neural pathways between the PFC and limbic structures like the amygdala.

📑Provides “Scaffolding”: A caregiver’s presence acts as external regulation, helping the infant’s immature central nervous system manage stress and build its own regulatory capacity.

🗂️How It Prevents Future Anxiety:

📑Better Emotion Regulation: A well-connected PFC can effectively “talk down” the amygdala, preventing overreactions to perceived threats.

📑Creates a “Blueprint” for Safety: Consistent positive experiences teach the infant’s brain that the world is safe and supportive, not threatening, creating a resilient foundation against anxiety.

📑Reduced Amygdala Reactivity: This early buffering effect leads to less intense fear responses and fewer “meltdowns.”

Here’s why I didn’t Push My Children’s To Develop Faster and 5 steps that I implemented;

Step 1 - I got clear on my expectations for my children.
Step 2 - I observed when they fell apart and looked for causes instead of simply assuming that I knew why.
Step 3 - I allowed myself time and space to step back and reconsider if the situation I had chosen was above their capabilities.
Step 4 - I took necessary pauses to notice if they really understood what I was asking. I recognized that sometimes they didn’t really understand.
Step 5 - I considered that there is an ebb and flow to every child’s development.

Perhaps even more important, I saw that when rushed they became anxious, nervous and fearful.
I didn’t push them to develop faster because I knew that they had time and that their childhood years are precious.
I knew that when a child feels pressured to learn something it actually makes it harder for them to learn.

I didn’t push my children to learn quicker because I wanted them to enjoy the process of learning and love learning.
I wanted them to discover the awe and wonder of self-discovery.
I wanted them to be confident in what they could do and have a strong self-esteem.
I wanted to allow them to blossom in their own time and at their own pace and be there with them to enjoy it all.
More than anything, I didn’t push my children to learn quicker because I wanted to focus on creating meaningful relationships with each of them.

I didn’t push my children to develop faster because I had been pushed and I still remember what that feels like.

Children are very vulnerable and even knowing this we sometimes push them to do more than they are capable of doing. Our eagerness to see our child taking leaps in learning can easily make us expect much more than they would do if left to follow their own developmental pace. And when criticized because they’re unable to meet expectations, they feel a deep sense of sadness, disappointment, shame and probably a number of other emotions.

Children Who Keep a Beat Learn to Read Better—Science Shows How

Research shows that rhythm skills in early childhood are closely tied to language and reading development. Preschoolers who can accurately clap or tap to a beat score up to 30% higher on phonological awareness and pre-reading assessments compared to peers with weaker rhythm skills (Gordon et al., 2020).

Brain studies reveal why: children with stronger rhythm abilities have sharper neural entrainment to speech sounds, meaning their brains respond more precisely to syllables and phonemes—critical for decoding words. This neural precision predicts better reading fluency and comprehension in elementary school.

In 2024, a study tested a six-week rhythm-training program in elementary children. Students who engaged in daily 20-minute rhythm games improved reading fluency by 15–20% compared to a control group, demonstrating that musical rhythm practice directly enhances literacy skills (Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024).

Reading itself is rhythmic: the brain must track speech patterns, predict upcoming sounds, and organize language into meaningful units. Children with poor rhythm processing often struggle to segment words, which is why early rhythm skills can prevent later reading difficulties.

Activities like clapping to music, tapping along with songs, or interactive rhythm games strengthen the auditory-motor pathways in the brain and improve attention, working memory, and processing speed—foundational skills for reading and language.

Maintaining brain health is as important as caring for your physical health. Simple habits like staying hydrated, prioritizing sleep, and moving your body daily can significantly improve your cognitive function. Hydration helps keep your mind sharp, while quality sleep allows your brain to repair and restore itself.

Learning new things and engaging in mental challenges creates new pathways in your brain, helping it stay agile. Movement, like walking or stretching, improves oxygen flow to your brain, contributing to better focus and overall cognitive health. Social time, reading, and spending time in nature all help reset stress levels, promoting mental clarity and relaxation.

Fueling your brain with protein and essential nutrients is also key to brain health. These habits collectively contribute to a stronger, sharper mind. Adopting them into your routine can protect your brain and even increase your lifespan. 💡🧠

Did you know that skin tags are associated with high insulin levels?

Insulin is the hormone that regulates your blood sugar. This is why, in some cases, diabetics and pre-diabetics start getting skin tags around their neck or armpits.

If you continually eat carbs, sugars, and starches, you will raise the insulin levels in your body. Consider adjusting your diet to help reverse this issue.

Learning to play an instrument can increase IQ in children by strengthening the brain through a combination of auditory, physical, and cognitive demands, which stimulates neuroplasticity. This “full-brain workout” builds new neural connections and strengthens areas of the brain related to memory, attention, and executive functions like planning and multitasking. As a result, children who study music often show improvements in cognitive skills and academic performance, such as in math and language.

▶️How music training boosts brain function

📑Stimulates neuroplasticity: Playing an instrument forces the brain to work harder, creating new neural pathways and strengthening connections, especially in regions responsible for memory, attention, and motor skills.

📑Enhances executive function: The mental discipline, planning, and focus required for learning and performing music improve executive functions like planning, problem-solving, and multitasking.

📑Improves sensory and motor skills: The activity engages multiple brain areas, including the auditory and motor cortices, improving coordination, fine motor control, and the ability to process sensory information.

📑Boosts academic performance: Studies show a correlation between music education and higher scores in math, reading, and language tests.

📑Develops abstract thought: Music training can enhance the brain’s ability to process and synthesize new information, improving abstract and logical reasoning skills.
