Did you know that many herbs and spices can treat inflammation and other related conditions that cause acute or chronic pain? Big Pharma, or the “legal drug lords” as Natural Blaze calls them, have most of us believing that if you want the “good stuff,” you need their drugs.   Continue reading “Opium-like painkiller alternative can be found growing in your backyard”

If passed, Texans would secure stability by reclaiming their purchasing power — without being subject to the whims of The Fed — an institution widely regarded as a devious manipulator of currencies and markets.   Continue reading “Texas Bill to Establish Gold & Silver as Legal Tender, Dealing Massive Blow to Federal Reserve”
