Clove Oil Eases Dental Pain, Review Finds

 Clove is a pungent spice used worldwide in foods and beverages and has well-known analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, according to Mercola.com. A systematic review published in November 2025 in the International Journal of Dentistry analyzed 21 clinical studies on plant-based dental pain relief and reported moderate-certainty evidence for eugenol, the active compound in clove oil. Researchers screened nearly 1,000 records and used the GRADE framework, a standard tool for rating evidence quality, according to the report.

"Modern research is confirming the traditional use of cloves, identifying eugenol as the key compound responsible for its potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties," Ava Grace wrote on NaturalNews.com. The review's findings describe clinical results for tooth pain but do not establish clove oil as a substitute for professional dental treatment, the report stated...<<<Read More>>>...

The 7 Hermetic Laws FINALLY Explained in a Way That Makes Sense

 

 

Reality isn’t what you think it is. From the moment you opened your eyes to this world, you’ve been taught to see through someone else’s lens—one that explains the universe in fragments, disconnected and chaotic.

How the Climate Agenda is Being Pushed into Our TV Shows

 A new BBC drama with Net Zero-sceptics as the baddies, a TV game show with a heavy-handed "Environment Week" – the climate agenda is being pushed into our TV programmes to ‘educate’ us, warns Charlotte Gill.

This week, The Great British Sewing Bee managed to push the climate agenda into its otherwise harmless show in what was termed “Reduce, Re-use, Recycle Week”.

Sewers were given three tasks “focused on the environment and sustainability”: first to create underpants from old t-shirts; second to transform material intended for landfill into “a garment with drama at the back”; and third to make outfits with an environmental message.

The third challenge was by far the most ideologically heavy-handed. “Throughout history, fashion has been used as a tool for protest, a statement for resistance and a spark for social change,” began presenter Sophie Willan, introducing the task to contestants. “So the judges want you to create an outfit with an environmental message that’s close to your heart.”

When quizzed later about the impetus for the challenge, Sewing Bee judge Patrick Grant told Willan: “Fashion designers have always been people that are kind of very socially engaged, and a big part of that is them having strong views on all sorts of things, and they want to put those forward through the clothes that they make.”

Luckily the designers didn’t seem to mind having their “strong views” decided for them by the judges and programme creators. “It is incredibly important to be environmentally conscious. Because we’re killing the planet,” one sewer was filmed saying. Another making a “Save Our Seas” protest dress was asked by Grant: “Why is the plastic thing so important to you?” She replied: “It’s so detrimental to the animals and the beauty of the sea.”...<<<Read More>>>...

UK government is seeking to bring “bossware” under control

 The UK government is considering forcing employers in Great Britain to consult workers before rolling out “bossware,” opening the door to new rules covering everything from AI-powered productivity scoring to keystroke logging and biometric surveillance.

The Department for Business and Trade wants to know whether the rules governing workplace surveillance still make sense as software increasingly tracks employees’ activity, measures their performance and supports decisions that affect their working lives.

Ministers haven’t settled on an approach. They’re asking whether non-statutory guidance would be enough, whether a statutory code of practice is needed or whether employers should be legally required to consult recognised trade unions or elected employee representatives before introducing workplace monitoring technology (“WMT”).

The consultation says WMT is becoming more common, citing research in which one in three UK organisations said they actively monitored employees’ digital activity. Two years earlier, ICO research found the figure stood at one in five employers.

The government argues WMT can improve productivity, investment and economic growth when used well. But it also highlights several pitfalls, warning of “risks to privacy and autonomy,” “disproportionate or unnecessary surveillance” and “biased or unfair outcomes” where monitoring systems rely on incomplete or inaccurate data.

Artificial intelligence features prominently throughout the consultation, though the proposals extend well beyond AI alone. It notes that WMT can incorporate automated decision-making and algorithmic management, raising questions about transparency, accountability and the impact of technology on workers.

Exactly what counts as workplace monitoring technology, though, is another question. The government is proposing a broad definition covering everything from CCTV and access control systems to biometric technologies, location tracking, keystroke monitoring, productivity software, and systems that incorporate automated decision-making or AI....<<<Read More>>>...

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

You are unique. There is no one else like you in the entire universe. In honor of your unique self, it’s good to acknowledge and embrace the special qualities that make you the person that you are. One way to do this is to not compare yourself with other people.

It’s human nature to want to see how we measure up to others, especially if we think they’re better than us or have more of something that we want. But it’s not a good use of our time to compare ourselves with others, because there is no one like us and this makes us incomparable. It’s sometimes easier to feel like we’re deficient in comparison to other people rather than taking responsibility for our own progress. It takes more courage to be self-referential and look at ourselves to see whether we’re measuring up to our own standards or meeting our full potential.

Each of us has very special gifts and we are here for very specific reasons. We each have a life purpose to fulfill, and with this comes the lessons we must learn and the circumstances we must go through in order to evolve as spiritual beings. To compare our lives to other people’s lives when we have no idea of what they are here to learn or fulfill doesn’t benefit anyone — especially you.

Instead, if we can accept ourselves, appreciate the special talents and qualities that we alone possess, and realize that each of us is going through certain kinds of experiences for a reason, we are less likely to focus so much on what other people have or are doing. Realizing and valuing our uniqueness enables us to bring out the best in ourselves so we can get on with living, rather than preoccupying ourselves with meaningless comparisons. By no longer comparing yourself to others, you will see how much you have and how special you are. (Daily OM)

UFO crash in Kazakhstan: The story of a shepherd who befriends an alien

 Having sheltered a crashed alien, the shepherd Sagynbai may have saved the Soviet base with nuclear weapons from a UFO invasion.

This story took place in June 1979 in the Turgai region of the Kazakh SSR near Arkalyk – now almost abandoned, but then – a prosperous industrial city.

The local shepherd named Sagynbay, woke up in the middle of the night, left the house and saw that the sky was glowing. It seemed to him that the source of light was not far away, and the shepherd, saddling his horse, decided to go and find out what was the reason for the strange glow.

Having driven several kilometers from his native village, he saw traces of a large object falling from the sky in the night steppe. Deciding that it could be an airplane or a Soviet space satellite, the shepherd drove closer and was surprised to see a silver disk half buried in the rocky soil.

Deciding that it was not worth approaching such a find, Sagynbay went back to the village. And a few hundred meters from the fallen object, he came across an escape pod, very similar to a coal-black egg.

The surface of the capsule was of such texture that the shepherd decided that it was just a smoothly processed boulder. But at that moment, the “boulder” suddenly opened up, and from it, under the horse’s feet, fell out, as it seemed to Sagynbai at first, a tall man...<<<Read More>>>...

The Dairy Diabetes Defense: New Evidence for Nature’s Original Superfood

 Type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions, fueled by a global industrial food system that prioritizes profit over human health. Conventional medicine, captured by pharmaceutical interests, offers only costly, symptom-managing drugs that fail to address root causes.

In this landscape of chronic disease, a powerful, natural defense is emerging from an unexpected source: nature's original superfood, dairy. New, large-scale scientific analysis reveals a stark nutritional divide. While processed industrial foods accelerate metabolic dysfunction, moderate consumption of certain whole-food dairy products is associated with a significantly lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. [Integrative Practitioner Article] This finding isn't just a dietary tip; it's a fundamental lesson in food sovereignty, illustrating how returning to unadulterated, traditional foods can restore metabolic health and fend off one of the most devastating diseases of our time....<<<Read More>>>.....

When wildfires appear to be increasing, we need to ask who’s causing them

The European Forest Fires Information System says that the number of wildfires in Europe is nearly double the 30-year average. The situation in the USA is probably worse and in Canada, not much better, Peter Koenig writes.

Wouldn’t this steady year-by-year increase of so-called “wildfires” raise the legitimate question of why and what or who causes them? he asks.

Every year, at least for the past five or six years, approximately starting with the (“UN”) Agenda 2030 – remember the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”)? – bush and forest fires have become more ferocious.

As of late July 2026, wildfires across the European Union (“EU”) have burned about 254,400 hectares (2,544 km²) since the start of the year, with France, Spain, Portugal and Italy among the worst-affected countries.

The European Forest Fires Information System (“EFFIS”), via the EU Joint Research Centre, reports 254,388 hectares (ha) burnt in the EU in 2026 up to 22 July 2026. This is above the 20-year average but slightly below the same period in 2025. See this for more info: Current wildfire situation in Europe, European Commission.

EFFIS maps fires bigger than 30 ha that include at least some forested area. Its figures represent roughly 95% of the total EU burned area.

In Spain and France, more than 200,000 people were evacuated or escaped by themselves, leaving their home and for many their life savings and assets (homes, farms, farm lands, cars and other amenities) behind to save their lives. Some escaped the spectacular Bordeaux peninsula, offering stunning landscapes and tourist areas, as well as oyster-farming villages and upmarket resorts.

Since the beginning of 2026, close to 1,300 fires have beendetected, though fewer than in the same period in 2025, when 1,329 were recorded. But more than double the long-term average (about 30 years) of 569 fires.

According to EFFIS, these fires emitted 8.31 million tonnes (Mt) of CO₂ since the start of 2026, slightly below the 8.48 Mt recorded in the same period in 2025, and the long-term average of 8.89 Mt. Consider, though, that the summer is not yet over. For comparison, an average European citizen emits 5.55 tonnes of CO₂ over an entire year (EDGAR 2024 recording – Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research).

The situation in the US is probably even worse. As of late July 2026, the United States is experiencing a severe and above-average wildfire season, with the National Preparedness Level raised to its maximum (Level 5) and more than 16,000 km2 burned nationwide. This is about 140% above the 10-year average. The situation in Canada is not better....<<<Read More>>>....

Sabaoth: The Archon Who Turned Against the Demiurge

 

 

His name is Sabaoth, the son of the Yaldabaoth, and according to the text On the Origin of the World, he turns away from the system he once served after hearing the voice of Sophia, the embodiment of divine wisdom. 

Rather than a cosmic battle, the transformation of Sabaoth begins with recognition — the moment a governing structure realizes a higher light exists beyond it. 

The Gnostic writings describe Sophia illuminating Sabaoth, elevating him to the seventh heaven, where he becomes a guardian at the threshold between worlds. 

But what does this story really mean? 

Is Sabaoth simply a mythological Archon… or is this ancient teaching describing something that can happen within human awareness itself?

New evidence reveals a 25,000-year-old center of magic, healing and ritual in Australia

 For at least 25,000 years, people entered Cloggs Cave carrying plants.

They did not appear to bring the grasses solely for food, warmth or ordinary domestic work. Instead, new microscopic evidence suggests that whole plants were deliberately gathered, transported into the secluded cave and burned in repeated, low-temperature fires — activities that strengthen the interpretation of Cloggs Cave as a place reserved for ritual specialists, healing practices and spiritual power.

Located in GunaiKurnai Country in southeastern Australia, Cloggs Cave preserves one of the continent's longest archaeological records of relationships between people and plants. A new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology examined phytoliths — microscopic silica structures formed inside plants — preserved in deposits spanning approximately 25,000 years.

The results point toward something far more complex than a shelter where people simply cooked, slept or sought protection from the weather....<<<Read More>>>...

The Demiurge’s Final Trap — Last Illusion Before Awakening

 

 
 
In this video, we uncover the Demiurge’s final test — the illusion of light that challenges seekers just before true awakening. The ancient Gnostic mystics called it the last illusion before gnosis: a radiant imitation of truth designed to keep the soul dreaming within enlightenment’s mirror. 
 
You’ll learn how this luminous deception operates through ego, false ascension, and imitation light — and how true liberation begins not through resistance, but remembrance.

An unknown species of humans lived in America 130,000 years ago

 The conventional view is that the first humans arrived in America about 15,000 years ago, crossing from Asia via a land bridge that existed where the Bering Strait is now.

However, some recent evidence suggests that an unknown human species may have lived in California about 130,000 years ago. In 1992, while repairing a freeway in Southern California, workers found a large collection of ancient bones, including those of mastodons, prehistoric relatives of mammoths.

This site, which was named Cerutti Mastodon, was investigated by archaeologists and excavated. In 2017, they analyzed the bones of a mastodon that showed signs of being “processed” with tools. Next to these bones, they found stone artifacts that had been shaped by human hands, such as hammerstones and anvils.

Archaeologists have long recognized that the ancient Native Americans were skilled at hunting mastodons. But previous finds were dated to 15,000 years ago, and these were dated to about 130,000 years ago!...<<<Read More>>>...
