  2. 🚨 BREAKING: RFK Jr. Just CANCELLED the Flu Shot Ad Campaign – Here’s Why! 💉⚠️
 For years, we’ve been told to “get your flu shot” every season—told it’s safe, effective, and reduces severity… but what if we’ve been misled? What if the science says otherwise?
 🛑 50% of severe or fatal flu cases in adults were in those who were already vaccinated (2017-2018 flu season, CA Dept of Public Health).

🛑 In the 2016-2017 flu season, 70% of adults and 65% of children with severe or fatal flu were vaccinated.
🛑 Studies show consecutive flu shots make you MORE vulnerable to future infections.
🛑 Research in JAMA Pediatrics found that kids who got the flu shot were 4X more likely to get another respiratory infection.

🛑 The flu vaccine is the second most reported vaccine for adverse reactions, right after COVID-19.
 And now? RFK Jr. has STOPPED flu shot promotions and shut down a major vaccine conference. He’s making transparency in medicine a priority—and the question is: What ELSE will we learn as more truth comes to light?
 📢 Is this the beginning of a massive vaccine reckoning? Will RFK Jr. take on ALL vaccines, one by one, exposing the corruption between Big Pharma and public health agencies?
 It’s time for full transparency. No more censorship. No more blind trust.
 💡 What’s YOUR take? Will flu shots be the next vaccine to fall? Drop a comment below! 👇👇👇

  3. 🚨 BREAKING: They’re DONE injecting us. Now they’re SPRAYING us.

And guess who’s backing it all behind the scenes?
💉 Bill Gates. The same man who wants to dim the sun, block out the sky, inject the world, and now…
spray synthetic RNA onto your dinner.
He’s not done with humanity yet — but we’re DONE with him. Without your vote.
Without your consent.
Without warning. A company called Rena Biosciences, backed by the same architects behind the mRNA jab, is spraying synthetic RNA nanoparticles directly onto American crops.
 This isn’t GMO.
This isn’t pesticides.
This is programmable gene-altering tech entering your food — then your gut, your microbiome, your cells… and your children.
 🧬 It literally REWRITES the plant from the inside out.
Once it’s in the fruit, it’s in the seed.
Then the soil.
Then the water.
Then YOU.
 All done under the same loophole as the vaccines: emergency experimental authorization.
☣️ No long-term studies.
☣️ No liability.
☣️ No informed consent.
 They are calling it “eco-friendly”.
But this isn’t farming.
This is hijacking life itself.
 Grow your own food.
Share this truth.
Reject their food.
Reject their fear.
Reject their false gods in white coats.
 Because this isn’t just about food.
It’s a battle for your biology, your sovereignty, and your soul. #StayAwake #FightBack

  1. If you only had 10 minutes left to live, who’s the first person you would call to let them know how much of an impact they’ve had on your life? Would it be your child, your mother, your partner? What about a close friend? As men, we don’t often verbalise how much we mean to each other. Although society is slowly moving in a direction where that kind of behaviour is becoming more normalised, we still have a long way to go. A few weeks ago I engaged in a challenge with my good friend Matt Brown @myfathersbarber. The challenge, through @sheisnotyourrehab was to decide, on the spot, who we would call if we only had a few minutes left to live, and tell them that we loved them. It had to be a male in our lives, so I chose one of the few people who has stood beside me no matter what life threw my way. What impacted me about this watching it back was his surprise that I was even calling him. It made me realise I probably don’t do it enough. Moments like this can feel strange, but the discomfort of facing something unfamiliar will never outweigh the pain of regret and the risk of leaving things unsaid. Love exists on a spectrum, and we each decide what it means within our own perspective. Expressing it, not only to our family but also to our friends, is so important. It can be confronting, but it’s liberating, grounding, and creates space for so much growth within every friendship. Don’t sit with this as just an idea for too long. If there’s someone you love, take action and tell them. You might not always have that opportunity. #loveyoubro

  3. [TW: Addiction] This image was inspired by the song 'Medicine,' by band Daughter, as well as my own friendship with an addict many years ago. The dead wildflowers that cover her head represent potential - even when it seems like they have dried up, they are full of tiny seeds, ready to start again. Addiction is the fire that destroys that potential - difficult to contain, passionate in itself. The water represents choice - to put out the fire - and the depths of the struggle to do so. The little details - the moths, leaves and dragonfly, represent transformation, a new season and the ability to rise above. I'm really enjoying working more conceptually - it's who I've always been as a creative, but new to my photography. I hope I can use this medium to inspire thought on difficult topics and ignite vision for a future beyond them. You can help me in this by sharing my work and if you or someone you know has experienced addiction, please leave a black heart in the comments to show your solidarity. 🖤 Some lyrics of the song 'Medicine' (not in order): You've got a warm heart You've got a beautiful brain, but it's disintegrating From all the medicine You could still be What you want to Pick it up, pick it all up And start again You've got a second chance ___ ‘Self Medication,’ 2021 Photography/Headpiece: @leighschneiderphotography Model: @julia.runova Assistance: @bricabracomania_metalworks & @_black_neck_ Special thanks to Julia for travelling from Berlin to shoot this in cold conditions and to her friends Leva and Felix for helping and taking behind the scenes footage.

  3. Last week I had a procedure done at the doctor. He gave me the option of having “laughing gas” to take the pain away while he was doing said procedure. I held the nozzle in my hand and the pain hit straight away, but for some reason, I didn’t take the gas. I had my jaw clenched and my body stiffened up, he look up at me and said “you don’t have to be brave DJ, use the gas”! So I did. Straight inhaled it like I did when I was a little kid with my head out the car window. He carried on to say “so many people try to tough this out, but pain is pain, you don’t have to suffer in order to protect your dignity, I’m not going to judge you for seeking help. It’s sore and you shouldn’t have to sit through it if there’s another option”! Actual mind blown. Are you a psychologist as well sir? When you’re struggling, when you feel terrible, unhappy, broken and sad, it’s 100% ok to get help and to get better. You don’t have to be brave and tough it out. You don’t have to meet the expectations of this world and do what they “recommend” you should. You, my friend, are allowed to do WHATEVER it takes to get better, be healthy, be happy. If people in your life have an issue with it, the issue is within them, it’s not about you. Own your decision to do what is best for you sis!!!! In April 2019, I had the vertical sleeve gastrectomy, to reduce the size of my stomach and help get myself healthy. Today, 20months later, I am sitting at 68kg, I am strong, I love my life, I am happier than I have ever been before and I’m free! Regardless of what anyone thinks about my decision, I would do it 1000 times again. I have zero regrets. And if you’re thinking of heading down the same path and have struggled to find support, DM me, I’ll be your biggest cheerleader x #vsg #vsgjourney #vsgcommunity #vsgnz #weightlossjourney #weightloss #health #healthylifestyle #ownyourlife #proud #journey #dontsuffer #changes #changestartswithyou

  2. A friend of mine brought to my awareness that Folic acid will soon be added to all bread making flour in New Zealand. Why and what the actual F?? Apparently the fortification of flour will be a preventative measure against birth defects. Let me tell you something. Folic acid is not natural. It’s is a synthetic lab-made substance that looks similar to folate, but is missing a very key component - a methyl group. Folate is super important in pregnancy as it provides protection against neural tube defects. It is a natural B vitamin that comes from foods like green leafy vegetables, broccoli, asparagus, beef liver and egg yolk. Folic acid needs to be converted to tetrahydrofolate by the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase before it starts to benefit the host. The early trials of folic acid were done on rats. Rats are good at this conversion. Humans on the other hand are unable to complete this conversion effectively, causing unmetabolised folic acid to build up in the blood. The problem with this build up of folic acid is that folate transport proteins and receptors bind folic acid preferentially over active folate, leading to a functional folate deficiency AND hidden B12 deficiency. There is also more and more emerging evidence that the build up of folic acid in your system increases your risk of cancer!!! In addition, 40-60% of the population have genetic mutations related to methylation such as the MTHFR gene polymorphism - which further impairs their ability to make active folate (methyl folate). For these people, taking folic acid, especially during pregnancy can have detrimental effects (e.g. neural tube defects, tongue tie, autism etc.) My recommendations are: Avoid standard store bought wheat flour bread (e.g. tip top) as it will be fortified Avoid buying standard wheat flour and instead purchase quality organic wheat flour from your local organic store OR opt for spelt or other grains Ditch the store bought multi or B complex with folic acid, throw out your Elevit or prenatal supplement that contains folic acid and opt for folate rich foods and supplements that contain Calcium folinate (folinic acid) and L-methylfolate. #pregnancy #foodi

  3. At playgroup this morning a mother snatched away the sourdough bun from her toddler cause it had the tinniest smear of butter on it. She’s raising her kids vegan. I shudder at the thought. Children need animal foods in their diets to thrive. Breast milk is predominantly saturated fats and fat soluble vitamins, exactly what growing bodies and brains need. Plants do not provide any preformed active vitamin A, or vitamin D3 or vitamin B12 or DHA. No, carrots don’t have vitamin A. They contain beta carotene - the absorption rate in humans ranges between 5-65%, then it needs to go through a whole series of chemical reactions to be converted into active vitamin A. The conversion is weak, especially if you have the BCO1 gene SNP. And flaxseeds provide ALA which only less than 0.5% gets converted to DHA. DHA is a crucial essential fatty acid used by the brain! Plant foods do not provide bioavailable iron, zinc, calcium or choline. Egg yolk and liver are your best sources of choline. And choline is so so crucial for healthy brain development. Choline deficiency in pregnancy impacts neural tube closure and can lead to spina bifida. Choline deficiency in growing children is associated with higher risk of autism, learning delays, ADHD. Plant foods have “anti-nutrients” like phytates, lectins and oxalates that bind to minerals making them unavailable for absorption. Grains and legumes must be properly prepared (soaked, sprouted) to lower these anti-nutrients and release minerals. Even then, the form of iron in plant foods (non-haem) is nowhere near as well absorbed as the iron in red meat or mussels or spleen or liver. Forget açai berries and Goji. The real superfoods are butter and ghee and raw milk and egg yolks and fatty fish and fish eggs and cod liver oil and shellfish and slow cooked cartilaginous cuts of meat and meat stock and animal organs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a carnivore. I feed my daughter carrots and flaxseed and other plant foods - but not for their nutrient density, more so for their ability to feed the beneficial gut bacteria and improve gut microbial diversity. Your baby devours butter for a reason! Let them!!
