Vitamin B12 deficiency affects three to five percent of the general population (up to 20 percent in the elderly) and is often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis or mental illness – leading to unnecessary treatments. B12 is vital for brain function, nerve health and red blood cell production. Deficiency causes fatigue, depression and dementia-like symptoms, with irreversible damage if untreated. Doctors frequently overlook testing for B12, labs set “normal” ranges too low and symptoms are dismissed despite clear evidence linking deficiency to neurological issues. Vegans and those avoiding animal products are at high risk since B12 is primarily found in meat, eggs and dairy. Fortified foods often aren’t enough, requiring supplementation. B12 treatment is cheap and unpatentable, offering no profit incentive for Big Pharma, which prefers expensive, long-term drugs for misdiagnosed conditions. Article by Ava Grace, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com Millions of people worldwide suffer from chronic fatigue, depression and even dementia. Yet the root cause may be shockingly simple: A vitamin deficiency routinely ignored by the medical establishment. Vitamin B12 deficiency affects an estimated three to five percent of the general population, with some experts suggesting the real number could be as high as 10 percent. Among the elderly, at least 20 percent are believed to have dangerously low levels. Worse still, many of these cases are misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis or mental illness. These misdiagnoses lead to unnecessary suffering and costly, ineffective treatments. The truth is, vitamin B12 is essential for brain function, nerve health and red blood cell production. Yet doctors frequently fail to test for it. Meanwhile, the rise of veganism, flawed lab standards and pharmaceutical industry influence have turned this easily treatable condition into a public health crisis. (Related: Are you vitamin B12 deficient?) Vitamin B12 deficiency doesn’t announce itself with dramatic flair. Instead, it creeps in with fatigue, brain fog and mood swings – symptoms easily dismissed as stress or aging. But left untreated, it can lead to irreversible nerve damage, psychosis and dementia. Studies show that patients with B12 deficiency often exhibit symptoms identical to Alzheimer’s – including memory loss, confusion and personality changes. Shockingly, some experts estimate that half a million people in the United Kingdom alone diagnosed with dementia may actually just need B12 injections. Yet instead of simple, inexpensive treatment, these patients are funneled into a system that profits from their misdiagnosis. They are prescribed expensive psychiatric drugs or institutionalized in care homes, when a $10 vitamin shot could restore their health. The hidden symptoms of a national health disaster: Why doctors keep missing the diagnosis The reasons for this medical negligence are as infuriating as they are predictable: Doctors don’t test for it: Despite a cheap and reliable blood test, most physicians don’t bother checking B12 levels unless a patient specifically demands it. Flawed lab standards: Laboratories often set the “normal” B12 range far too low. While symptoms appear at levels under 350-400 pg/ml, many labs won’t flag a deficiency until levels drop below 180. Symptom-based medicine is ignored: Even when patients exhibit classic deficiency signs like tingling limbs, chronic fatigue and depression, doctors frequently overlook B12 in favor of more “profitable” diagnoses. The British medical establishment acknowledges the problem. In 2014, the British Journal of Hematology advised doctors to treat symptoms, not just lab numbers. Yet this guidance repeatedly falls on deaf ears. Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products like meat, eggs and dairy. But as veganism gains popularity, deficiency rates are climbing. While fortified plant-based foods exist, they are often insufficient to maintain healthy B12 levels. This isn’t an attack on personal dietary choices; it’s a warning. The human body cannot produce B12 on its own, and the consequences are severe without proper intake. Those avoiding animal products must supplement aggressively or risk long-term damage. Another uncomfortable truth: There’s no money in curing B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 injections cost pennies; they can’t be patented. They don’t generate billions in revenue like Alzheimer’s drugs or antidepressants. The pharmaceutical industry has no incentive to push for widespread testing – and every reason to keep patients on expensive, lifelong treatments for conditions they may not even have. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a silent epidemic, one that destroys lives through misdiagnosis and medical complacency. It’s time to hold doctors, labs and policymakers accountable. No one should suffer dementia-like symptoms when the cure is a simple, safe and affordable injection. Visit Nutrients.news for more similar stories.

Heartbreaking news has surfaced from Syria. A suicide bomber attacked Christians inside a church in Syria on Sunday. Initial reports have revealed that a total of 20 Christians have been killed in the attack, with dozens more injured. Check out what Al Jazeera reported: A suicide bomber in Syria has carried out an attack inside a church filled with people, killing at least 20 people and wounding dozens more, according to the Syria’s Ministry of Health and security officials. The explosion in Dweil’a on the outskirts of Damascus took place as people were praying during mass inside the Mar Elias Church on Sunday. No group immediately claimed responsibility, but the Syrian Interior Ministry said a fighter from the ISIL (ISIS) group entered the church and fired at the people there before detonating himself with an explosives vest, echoing some witness testimonies. The death toll reported was a preliminary one. “Rescue teams from the Syria Civil Defence continue to recover bodies from the scene,” a statement on Telegram said on Sunday. Official state agency SANA, citing the Health Ministry, said that at least 50 others were wounded. Some local media reported that children were among the casualties. The attack was the first of its kind in Syria in years, and comes as the fledgling interim government led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa is trying to win the support of minorities. As al-Sharaa struggles to exert authority across Syria, there have been concerns about the presence of sleeper cells of groups like ISIL (ISIS) in the country recovering from nearly 14 years of devastating civil war that killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. Here was the aftermath: BREAKING: A Suicide Bomber has blown himself up inside an Orthodox Church in Damascus, Syria during Sunday Mass 25 have died with 80 injured. Once again, the Legacy Media are silent. Christianity is under attack. pic.twitter.com/gzL97JCqPO — Inevitable West (@Inevitablewest) June 22, 2025 A suicide bomber just blew himself up at a Church in Syria. Dozens kiIIed and injured.

The terrorist – whom Syrian authorities said belonged to the Islamic State – began shooting indiscriminately before detonating an explosive. Syrian state media reported around 60 people were injured. The Greek foreign ministry said in a statement: “Greece demands that the Syrian transitional authorities take immediate action to hold those involved accountable, and to implement measures that will guarantee the safety of Christian communities and all religious groups.” Νeighbouring Turkey also condemned the attack, saying that it “undermines efforts to establish stability and security in Syria”. Greece’s Foreign Affairs Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis will discuss the attack today with his EU counterparts. Western authorities are on alert for potential attacks by Iran, amid its conflict with Israel and the United States. Greece’s National Security Council has decided to increase security measures for embassies, synagogues, and other American and Israeli interests in the country. Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Sunday that Cypriot and Israeli security services had thwarted an attempted attack by Iran on Israeli citizen in Cyprus.

This is frightening. A new report by NBC has revealed Iran previously warned President Trump that it would activate sleeper cells inside the United States if President Trump launched an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. According to NBC, Trump was warned during his trip to the G7 Summit in Canada that sleeper cells would be activated if he greenlit attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites. The Times of Israel had more details to report: Iran communicated to US President Donald Trump several days ago that it could activate sleeper-cells to attack the American homeland in response to a strike on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities, NBCreports. The message made its way to the US president during the G7 summit in Canada last week, which Trump left early amid the conflict in Iran, several days before American fighter jets bombed several of Iran’s nuclear facilities early Sunday. Neither the White House nor the Iranian Mission to the UN respond to requests for comment on the NBC report, which cites two US officials and a person with knowledge of the threat. US Vice President JD Vance told NBC’s “Meet the Press” earlier that the White House is examining the threat of a homeland attack “very closely.” A European diplomat tells NBC that the US and its allies believe Iran has the ability to attack American and European nationals “beyond U.S. soil and beyond the Middle East.” JUST IN – “Iran ‘sleeper cells’ warning,” CNN airs on its lower-thirds. pic.twitter.com/zMqtXjThh3 — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) June 22, 2025 Here’s the original report by NBC News: In the days before Trump gave the final order for the attack on the nuclear sites, Iran sent a private message to the president that it would respond to such a move by unleashing terrorist attacks on U.S. soil carried out by sleeper cells operating inside the country, according to two U.S. officials and a person with knowledge of the threat. The warning was conveyed to Trump by an intermediary during the G7 summit in Canada, the three sources said. Trump left the G7 early on June 16, saying he needed to return to Washington to monitor the intensifying conflict between Iran and Israel. U.S. bases and assets have been at their highest state of alert for months, but after Israel began warring with Iran on June 13, the officials, who spoke earlier in the week, said concerns were heightened even more about the potential for attacks on U.S. assets from Iran or its proxies in the region. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, meanwhile, warned of “everlasting consequences.” Watch here

The venue for a Santa Fe event celebrating Title IX and girls’ sports canceled at the last minute, accusing organizers of misrepresenting what they claimed was a “partisan political event” and leaving them scrambling. On Sunday, the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Institute canceled Independent Women’s Forum’s “Her Game. Her Legacy.” event, which was scheduled to take place at the venue about 24 hours later. The venue posted on Facebook that the event’s description as a “Celebration for Athletes and Families” was “fundamentally misleading as the event described today in media reports is a partisan political event.” The venue also said it would be “unable to accommodate” the event’s “levels of security” and press conference, claiming Independent Women’s Forum did not disclose these requirements. “As much as we support free speech, we want to make it clear that SFFMI is in disagreement with the message and intent of this particular event,” the venue said. The venue’s abrupt cancelation came after a New Mexico news outlet published a story about the women’s sports event that also said New Mexico has been “doubling down on protecting transgender rights.” Independent Women’s Forum said they had no idea their event was canceled until they saw the venue’s Facebook post. The group plans to sue the venue. “This is not a rally. This is not any type of political event. It’s a non-partisan, non-political celebration,” Beth Parlato, senior legal advisor at Independent Women’s Law Center told The Daily Wire. “We had a contract. It is a nine-page contract, a legal and binding contract, and it’s pretty solid,” she said. “They don’t agree with their message, so they have canceled us. And it’s illegal. So in our opinion, our legal opinion, they have breached the contract. They have discriminated against Independent Women. And they have violated our First Amendment rights by acknowledging that they don’t agree with their message, so they’re not allowing us on their property. So we will file lawsuits.” “Our intention is to serve them with a lawsuit because we’re not letting them get away with it. We did not do all of this to get canceled by a small group of people who chooses not to support girls. So it’s unconscionable what they’re doing,” Parlato said. The group had brought a massive amount of resources to Santa Fe for the event including more than 20 staff, a pink carpet for athletes to walk down, face painters and bounce houses for children, and much more. Meanwhile, they also had their registered speakers and guests and had been marketing the event heavily for about two weeks, said Victory Coley, the group’s vice president of communications. “They’re not just canceling our event. They are canceling little girls. They are betraying girls and women, female athletes. They’re canceling all of that,” Coley said. However, thanks to the general manager of the hotel where Independent Women’s Forum staff was staying, the event now has a new venue and is still full speed ahead. “He saw us wandering around the lobby, all stressed out with our laptops open, not knowing what we’re going to do. And he said, ‘What can I do to help?'” Coley said. The event is still scheduled for Monday at 1pm but will now be held at the Inn and Spa at Loretto, less than a mile from the original venue. Monday is the 53rd anniversary of Title IX, the federal civil rights law that law that prohibits sex-based discrimination at schools receiving federal funding. The event also kicks off a bus tour celebrating women’s sports that will visit all 33 New Mexico counties. Speakers for the event will include Education Secretary Linda McMahon, New Mexico parents, and also female athletes and coaches who have been outspoken in their advocacy for girls’ sports such as Payton McNabb, who was injured by a trans-identifying player and suffered a traumatic brain injury, and Kim Russell, former head coach of the women’s lacrosse team at Oberlin College. The free family-friendly event will also include games, music, food, and female athletes will still be able to walk down their pink carpet. The Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Institute says its mission includes “equity” and “kindness.” “We demonstrate KINDNESS through our commitment to respectful social interactions with each other and with visitors to the Market,” the Institute says on its website.

In May, President Trump fired Carla Hayden, the Obama-nominated head of the Library of Congress, and the PBS News Hour came to the defense of its tax-funded brethren on Friday evening. Setting up a previously recorded interview with Hayden, co-anchor Geoff Bennett called Hayden “a trailblazing Librarian of Congress” and said, “I traveled to Baltimore to speak with her about being blindsided by the decision, the administration's ongoing efforts to reshape key institutions and why she intends to keep speaking out….” Bennett quoted White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on the rationale for Hayden’s firing. Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary: We felt she did not fit the needs of the American people. There were quite concerning things that she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children. Bennett: The Library of Congress does not lend books to children as a public library would. Bennett was trying to catch Leavitt in a falsehood, but Leavitt didn’t say the Library of Congress lent books to children, at least not in PBS’s clip. The LOC does in fact hold children’s books at its Young Readers Center, which holds events for children involving readings, although it’s not a lending library. Bennett kept at it. Bennett: Why do you think the White House has mischaracterized its mission and its work? Hayden: There might not really be an understanding of the mission of the Library of Congress. And that, I think, is something that the situation that I was in actually brought that to light. He played the “disinformation” threat card, linking it to Trump’s perfectly legal firing.  Bennett: In this era of disinformation, this era of attacks on trusted institutions, what do you see as the essential role of libraries? Does Bennett consider tax-funded PBS one of those “trusted institutions” under unfair attack? These two institutions count on being crusading leftists while hiding behind the "public" branding. Hayden responded that you can trust librarians because they provide “vetted” information. Bennett: Are libraries and librarians, in your view, or are they properly equipped to push back against some of the political attacks? They are: Left unnoted was the overwhelmingly leftist tilt of the librarian profession. The American Library Association elected self-proclaimed “Marxist lesbian” Emily Drabinski as president in 2023. She served for one year. (Hayden is also a former ALA president.) Bennett found democracy to be at stake over Trump’s perfectly legal move to replace Hayden, which he warped into “censorship.” Bennett: Hayden says libraries have historically faced challenges to the books they offer. Hayden: What's different in this era seems to be that the efforts to restrict access are part of a possible larger effort. And that's the difference now. But as Alberto Manguel said in "A History of Reading" in his chapter, "The History of Forbidden Reading," that it's been known that restricting access to books and reading is often a tactic. Bennett: What effect do you believe censorship has on our democracy? Hayden: As Alberto Manguel said, as centuries of dictators, tyrants, slave owners and other illicit holders of power have known, an illiterate crowd is the easiest to rule. And if you cannot restrict a people from learning to read, you must limit its scope. And that is the danger of making sure that people don't have access. That’s hypocritical: Librarians restrict access to unfavored books all the time by refusing to purchase certain titles, like those questioning transgender ideology, in the name of social justice. The process of “weeding” out older books to clear limited shelf space could also present a convenient opportunity for a left-wing librarian to clear out books she doesn’t approve of. The segment ended with a silly, self-serving remark from Hayden about librarians being “feisty fighters for freedom.” This segment was brought to you in part by BNSF Railway. A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 6/20/25 7:39:39 p.m. (ET) Geoff Bennett: After Carla Hayden, a trailblazing librarian of Congress, was fired by President Trump last month, only 14 Americans have ever held the position. I traveled to Baltimore to speak with her about being blindsided by the decision, the administration's ongoing efforts to reshape key institutions and why she intends to keep speaking out. The report is part of our series Art in Action, exploring the intersection of art and democracy as part of our Canvas coverage. Dr. Carla Hayden is a familiar and cherished presence at the sprawling Enoch Pratt Free Library and its 21 branches, a system she led with distinction nearly a decade ago. Her legacy of over two decades of service is etched into the building itself with the wing that bears her name. Hayden has been a force in the library world since 1973. And, in 2016, she made history, when then-President Obama appointed her librarian of Congress. Dr. Carla Hayden, Former Librarian of Congress: So help me God. Geoff Bennett: The first woman and African American to lead the national library and the first professional librarian to hold the post in more than four decades. President Trump kept her in the role during his first term, but last month she received an e-mail, two sentences long, notifying her that she had been dismissed. What was going through your mind as you have received it and read it? Dr. Carla Hayden: One of the first things that went through my mind was to think about, was it authentic, because it was very short, very casual, just said Carla and then two lines. And so I was actually confused. Geoff Bennett: Sent by someone you had never met? Dr. Carla Hayden: Someone I'd never met. And so my first action — I was with my mom actually that evening. I told her, I said: "I'm not sure what this is." And then I got on the phone to my colleagues to say, is this real or what — who is this? And then it went from there. Geoff Bennett: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary: We felt she did not fit the needs of the American people. There were quite concerning things that she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children. Geoff Bennett: The Library of Congress does not lend books to children, as a public library would. Dr. Carla Hayden: The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world. And it serves Congress. It's the reference arm for Congress. So all the research that's happening by legislators, Senate, House, all are taken care of by people at the Library of Congress. We call them our special forces. They do the research. And then the Library of Congress serves the people that Congress serves. So everyone in the United States is a patron of the Library of Congress. Geoff Bennett: Why do you think the White House has mischaracterized its mission and its work? Dr. Carla Hayden: There might not really be an understanding of the mission of the Library of Congress. And that, I think, is something that the situation that I was in actually brought that to light. Geoff Bennett: Hayden calls the institution: Dr. Carla Hayden: A treasure chest, the world's largest collection, and fill in the blank, of photographs, film, manuscripts, 178 million items. Geoff Bennett: In this era of disinformation, this era of attacks on trusted institutions, what do you see as the essential role of libraries? Dr. Carla Hayden: Libraries are in so many communities, rural, urban. Anywhere you find a library, they're trusted sources. They know that librarians might not be the jazziest, but they can trust them because they know that they will get information that has been vetted and that they can trust. Geoff Bennett: Are libraries and librarians, in your view, are they properly equipped to push back against some of the political attacks? Dr. Carla Hayden: Librarians are prepared to defend their choices of materials and services that they provide. What they really would appreciate is more public support, vocal public support, saying, we want to make sure that our children have access to these materials. And so that's what we're working with now in terms of our profession, to let the public know that we really need their help. Geoff Bennett: Hayden says libraries have historically faced challenges to the books they offer. Dr. Carla Hayden: What's different in this era seems to be that the efforts to restrict access are part of a possible larger effort. And that's the difference now. But as Alberto Manguel said in "A History of Reading" in his chapter, "The History of Forbidden Reading," that it's been known that restricting access to books and reading is often a tactic. Geoff Bennett: What effect do you believe censorship has on our democracy? Dr. Carla Hayden: As Alberto Manguel said, as centuries of dictators, tyrants, slave owners and other illicit holders of power have known, an illiterate crowd is the easiest to rule. And if you cannot restrict a people from learning to read, you must limit its scope. And that is the danger of making sure that people don't have access. Geoff Bennett: She says she will keep advocating for her beliefs and feels bolstered by support from elected officials on both sides of the aisle, as well as from people across the country. She shared that her 93-year-old mother has been cataloging the notes and messages she's received. A former president of the American Library Association, Hayden is set to address some of its 50,000 members at their annual meeting. This year's agenda, she says, takes on new urgency. Dr. Carla Hayden: How to help communities support their libraries, how to deal with personal attacks that libraries are having, even death threats in some communities for libraries. So this convening of librarians that are in schools, universities, public libraries will be really our rally. We have been called feisty fighters for freedom. (Laughter) Geoff Bennett: Hayden says what's at stake goes far beyond books and that protecting it has never been more important. Dr. Carla Hayden: Libraries are one of the pillars and cornerstones of a democracy, and free public libraries are part of a civic infrastructure that we need to have a safe democracy.

Over the course of this second Trump administration, the legacy media selected several poster children for immigration before settling on alleged MS-13 ganbanger and accused human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The first of these, though, was Columbia student agitator Mahmoud Khalil- who spent the past several months in ICE custody and was turned into a cause celébre. Now that he’s out and back protesting? Not even a peep. As we noted at the time: The networks had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into coverage of the virulent antisemitic protests at major universities across the United States, beginning with those at Columbia University in New York. The protesters’ worst excesses were often left off of reporting, lest people get the idea that they were materially supportive both of Hamas and of the atrocities they committed on October 7th, 2023. But there is, at long last, an angle worthy of thorough media coverage. Judging by the level of concern displayed by the media, Mahmoud Khalil emerges as their truest, purest victim of the still-ongoing student protests. In the immediate aftermath of his release by a Biden-appointed judge, Khalil vowed to return to the protests. Per The New York Post: Anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil said he plans to continue his pro-Palestinian advocacy and bashed the US government upon landing in New Jersey Saturday on his way home to New York City after being held in a Louisiana detention facility for three months. “I just want to go back and just continue the work that I was already doing, advocating for Palestinian rights – speech that should actually be celebrated rather than punished, as this administration wants to do,” Khalil said Saturday at a press conference at Newark Liberty International Airport. Khalil, 30, was arrested by federal immigration authorities on March 8 and spent 104 days at the rural detention center as the Trump administration fought to deport the Syrian-born permanent resident. And this afternoon Khalil got his wish, marching in a protest replete with “Free Palestine“ and “From the River to the Sea” chants. BREAKING: Just days after being freed from ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil helps lead chants at Pro-Palestine march from Columbia University.

And yet, none of the legacy newscasts saw fit to cover Khalil’s reemergence.  There were zero mentions of Khalil on the ABC, NBC, or CBS Sunday newscasts. Having proven himself to be who we always thought he was, there isn’t much further media use for Khalil until he is either deported or allowed via judicial fiat to finalize his citizenship process.
