Biden: CDC to require masks for school kids - DeSantis: We're not doing that in Florida
DeSantis at a news conference Thursday, July 22 - Indian River State College in Fort Pierce:
"There's been talk about potentially people advocating at the federal level imposing compulsory masks on kids. We're not doing that in Florida, okay? We want kids to be able to be kids. We need them to be able to breathe. It's terribly uncomfortable for them to do it. There's not very much science behind it."
The governor said parents can equip their children to go back to school however they want, but stressed that there shouldn't be any mandate from the state or federal government to force face coverings. MORE

Sovereign State of Texas Builds Border Fence to 'Cut the Feds Out of the Equation'
MORE - House GOP Unveils Bill To Give Funding To Border States That Want To Continue Building Wall
Sen. James Lankford@SenatorLankford Jul 20
Biden is paying contractors $2 billion NOT to build the wall. In the meantime, CBP encountered a 20-year high of illegal migrants crossing our border & confiscated 508 pounds of fentanyl last month alone. Stop wasting tax dollars to watch the materials & just finish the wall.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has launched the construction of his state's own fence along the southern border in an effort to slow the border crisis.
Asked what a chain link fence is going to stop? Texas [Department of Public Safety] says the idea is to cut the feds out of the equation. No trespass signs allow them to arrest on local charges. Instead of calling Border Patrol, they will take migrants to jail for violating Texas law. MORE
Ron DeSantis visits Texas border
Gov. DeSantis took aim at the ridiculousness of the Biden administration when it comes to their COVID policies:
"I got a little bit perturbed when I was at the southern border, when I started thinking about if you wanted to fly from Brazil or you wanted to do certain travel, the way you would be treated by the federal government under the auspices of COVID mitigation.
Some people wouldn't even be allowed to come. A lot of these flights aren't even allowed. If you wanted to go on a cruise ship, the federal government doesn't want you except under extreme circumstances. So they're very, very rigorous with lawful commercial activity in travel.
But if you just want to hopscotch across that border, they don't care about COVID. They're letting you straight in. They're throwing you on a bus and they're sending you all over the fruited plain in this country. So, I don't understand how you square that.
If you're saying that cruises have to go through all of these procedures because of COVID, wouldn't you want people coming from a hundred different countries to just not be able to pour in the country effectively, with very little pushback?
So I think it's a huge, huge problem and the idea that we would treat American citizens and their right to travel with more disfavor than we're treating foreign nationals illegally entering our country – that didn't sit well with me and I was really frustrated to see that." MORE

How bad are things for the Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections? So bad that some of them are hiding their party ID in campaign ads.
Democrats running for elected office in the House and Senate from rural America are starting to depart from using party identification in their ads in hopes of attracting more voters.
This means many candidates for office are running against the platform of their own party, according to Axios. Since the 2020 election, the Democrats in both chambers of Congress have had a wafer-thin majority, and the Republicans are looking to overtake them in the fast-approaching midterms next year.
Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan (OH), running for one of Ohio's Senate seats, released a campaign ad roughly three minutes long. The Democrat did not mention his party affiliation once. MORE

"Here in Florida we believe in lifting people up, not locking people down"
Gov. DeSantis traveled to Tampa on Sunday to deliver a speech at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit where he said sales for his "Don't Fauci My Florida" merchandise are "through the roof."
DeSantis began selling this branded merchandise in an effort to push back against Dr. Anthony Fauci, a move for which media elites criticized him.
"If a kid gets locked out of school for a year, that kid got Fauci'd. If someone is out of work for a year because of lockdowns, that worker got Fauci'd. If a family loses a business due to the lockdown, that family got Fauci'd. We're not gonna allow that in the state of Florida."
"This is a guy who thinks he has been right on everything, and he's been wrong on so much," DeSantis continued. "He deserves to be held accountable for the money that went to the Wuhan lab."

Biden White House identifying "problematic" posts for Facebook to censor ..
.. to ensure "correct narratives" are promoted.
. Donald Trump Jr. challenges the White House's newest approach to work with social media on the crackdown of so-called 'disinformation'. Trump's remarks came after the White House recently announced plans to work with Facebook to flag and censor social media posts.
UPDATED – Saturday, July 17, 2021
OAN Newsroom -
Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr
"Question, under the White House's new proposed social media ideals .. will all those who thought the Wuhan Lab Leak Theory was a very plausible explanation to the start of the pandemic get their accounts back .. and will those who chastised and censored them be thrown off all platforms?"
Facebook began reversing its censorship of the lab leak theory in early May after issuing suspensions for those pushing the theory. Critics slammed Facebook for keeping in lockstep with the government in deciding what is and isn't "disinformation."
"We've increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General's Office. We are flagging problematic posts for Facebook," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki, confirming on Thursday that the world's biggest speech platforms take direction from the government in choosing what content to suppress, amplify, or remove.
"Health misinformation has led people to resist wearing masks in high-risk settings. It's led them to turn down proven treatments and to choose not to get vaccinated." said Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.
The demand for censorship — and Psaki's admission of government involvement — follows a series of flip-flops from health officials who contradicted themselves throughout the pandemic .. issues such as mask efficacy, as well as censorship of claims that later gained credibility, such as the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab. Neither Psaki or Murty would answer a question about the fact that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious diseases expert, did not promote mask-wearing in February, March, April 2020 .. but later pushed wearing two masks at a time.
On Friday afternoon, Joe Biden said Facebook was 'killing people' .. "They're killing people. The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they're killing people."
"Have a backbone .. we can't have cowardly people at this moment in our history"
"You take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and you need to be willing to do that without fear or favor and you need to be resolute, and you need to get the job done."
DeSantis demanded that conservatives weather hostility from the culture and the media: "that's what the battlefield looks like .. and if you stand up for the truth, you're going to face the wrath of these institutions in many respects."
"The media will almost assuredly try to smear you, Big Tech may censor you, and big business may even try to boycott you, boycott your state, boycott your jurisdiction, but that's what you have to be willing to put up with.
Academia, corporate media, big tech, big business – all of them adopt in various degrees a leftist, woke perspective in terms of what they want to see. Most of them are entirely hostile to any type of conservative values or traditional principles. That's just for sure.
Refusing to rule correctly or even to rule at all for fear of any type of extraneous consequences is cowardice, and we can't have cowardly people in these positions at this moment in our history"

"Real America is back".. by Derek Hunter
It was nice. Actually, it was glorious. What was the "it" of which I speak? .. it was my journey to real America – a land before masks where human beings shake hands. I got the hell out of the Washington, DC, area, and spent a week in Michigan.
On the way to Michigan, we spent the night in Sandusky, Ohio, and got our first taste of life beyond the confines of paranoia and overreaction. No one in the hotel wore a mask. It didn't even feel like the staff had one handy, just in case the boss showed up, or something. It was just people smiling and talking, conducting life.
The next day, we had breakfast with a friend of mine the public knows as "Joe the Plumber." Yes, the real guy. We met back in 2008 and remain friends. His house is on the way and it was a good chance to catch up. No masks, just handshakes and hugs. It was great to see our kids playing together, able to breathe, while we and our wives caught up. It was…normal.
A trip to Mackinac Island sealed the deal. It's traditionally tough to get on the island in summer, and by "tough" I mean crowded. We only went over for the day, to get a sense of how the economy was recovering – a holiday weekend with great weather. It was actually quite nice. The same was true for Traverse City, another tourist Mecca, especially during the National Cherry Festival.
It still exists, that real America .. just real people with jobs and families simply going about their business the way adults always have, at least before last year.
I don't know how that will translate when it comes to voting next year or in three years, but every political sign I saw, and I mean every single one, was a Trump sign still up and clearly maintained.
Real America is back.

Quo Vadis America .. The Florida Way or The California Way?
. OAN Newsroom - Friday, July 9, 2021
Blaming 'climate change' .. Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has asked residents and businesses to cut their water use by 15 percent as the state faces an ongoing drought. Facing an upcoming recall election, Newsome said;
"The hots are getting hotter & the dries are getting drier - that is the reality of climate change."
The new state of emergency adds to Newsom's still-existent emergency COVID powers, which he extended back in May. While all Californians across the state are being asked to reduce water consumption, large Democrat-led cities including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco are not included under the emergency proclamation. MORE
"Maintaining basic order and the rule of law is the first duty of government; a healthy society depends on people feeling secure. Secure people are free to pursue their dreams. Florida is America's freest state, according to a Cato Institute survey: No. 1 in fiscal freedom, No. 1 in educational freedom."
Life can vary greatly in America depending on where you sit. Those differences are growing into a chasm of philosophical and practical contrasts between two basic models for the American future. On many critical questions facing our culture, our economy and our society, California and Florida offer radically different answers.
Call them the California Way or the Florida Way.
Should lots of new housing be built in the interest of affordability? California says no, Florida says yes.
Should homeless people be allowed to turn public spaces into tent cities? California says yes, Florida says no.
Should public elementary schools teach critical race theory? California says yes, Florida says no.
Should gas be $4 a gallon? California says yes, Florida says no.
Should biological males be allowed to dominate girls' sports? Florida says no. California not only says yes, but it is trolling Florida by forbidding its employees to take state-funded trips to Florida, as well as 16 other states.
People are voting on all of this with their U-Hauls. California's population in 2020 shrank for the first time ever, by 180,000 people, whereas Florida had the second-highest increase in population, after Texas.
During the pandemic, California introduced some of the harshest lockdown measures in the country, crashing its economy, while Florida was among the first states to begin reopening, way back in May of 2020, and has been almost entirely open since September.
It wasn't long ago that America looked to California for guidance; even Ronald Reagan implicitly promised to spread the California way across the nation. Now California is a model only for dysfunction.

Q: Use JavaScript to continously add number to itself I am new to jQuery and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction regarding the following:
I have a number (0.085) and I am trying to figure out how, starting at 0 I can continuously add 0.085 to itself every second ie:
0, 0.085, 0.17, 0.255, 0.34 - etc.

I eventually would like to animate this so that the numbers look like the second/milliseconds of a stopwatch and actually count to the number. So if anyone knows how best to go about this then that would also be great.

A: You need to use setInterval():
var count = 0;
setInterval(function() {
    count += 0.085;
    // update the UI as needed here...
}, 1000); // 1000ms = 1 second

For some time there, he was the face of a new Ireland, the working class boy who attended all-Irish Gaelscoils and went on to become a world champion in a new sport. Then he had a number of run-ins with authorities, both civil and in his sport. He had only recently ended a short term of community service mandated by the courts when he was arrested in Miami for what was described as 'strong-arm robbery and criminal mischief'. He was released on bail, after posting a bond, variously described as $5 000 or $12 500, and it is presumed that case will go to court. If he is found guilty, those numbers will be small compared to what he will lose if he is deported from America and not allowed to return.
It was bound to happen. If the Brits could have the world's attention for months at a time, why not the Irish? So, a group has been set up calling itself the Irexit Freedom to Prosper party. One of the keynote speakers at their recent conference was Nigel Farage, the man who started the whole debacle engulfing Britain at the moment; another speaker was the noted contrarian John Waters. One of the younger speakers wore a Make America Great Again ba seball cap; another young woman said she was there because she was a big fan of Farage and felt that it was time Ireland "took a few leaves out of Donald Trump's book." Another prominent supporter of Irexit is Ray Basset, a former ambassador to Canada, who spent a number of years as First Secretary at the Irish Embassy in Canberra.
The face was famous in the '70s when he was Minister for Finance. It was the time of the first oil crisis and hard decision had to be made, many of them by him. Indeed, the other members of the Fine Gael government of Liam Cosgrave tended to hide behind him, allowing him to take the flak. You could always blame Richie.
Richie Ryan died just before St Patrick's Day. He was aged 90. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.
Eighty years ago, Winston Churchill quoted that verse by Edward J Milliken to indicate his despair at the way British politicians were dealing with events in Europe . His grandson Sir Nicholas Soames MP quoted it recently in a different (?) context. He is a Remainer, and suggests that May's deal may be the best option.

If Voice had not acted quickly, Orange County could be the only place in the state where the public could not access the records concerning police use of force, sexual assault on members of the public or incidents of lying while on duty.
On OC, the weekly podcast for the Voice of OC is going on hiatus as we review the last year of shows and consider our podcasting efforts.
The fundraising drive was also a huge success at Voice of OC — bringing in more than twice as many donors as the previous best year and raising more than $80,000 from individual donors, the best fundraising drive yet for Voice of OC.
Former Riverside Mayor and UC Riverside professor of Political Science, Ron Loveridge invited Norberto Santana, Jr. to speak to the Riverside Chamber of Commerce's Monday morning breakfast group of 25 influential business and education leaders.
Voice of OC Ambassadors are community leaders who stand behind solid non-partisan journalism by stepping up and supporting Voice of OC in a big way. Joining in the Voice of OC Ambassadors begins with a $1,000 tax-deductible annual membership fee. The group meets informally a couple of times a year with publisher Norberto Santana Jr. to discuss supporting non profit media and important issues across Orange County. No long speeches. Just a very diverse group of people who care about the civic fabric of our county.
Give to Voice of OC because you care about your home, neighborhood and community.
Voice of OC is the one place where different points of view can all have their say. We encourage dialogue on any topic of interest in Orange County.

Our Op-ed contributors make a difference.
The next time you're standing at the DMV, or the Post Office or the Social Security office, use the time to reflect on this: Unelected bureaucrats are just as responsible to the citizenry for their decisions and actions as elected officials. What a concept! Public workers work for you – not politicians, not special interests, not corporations. The things they do on the job – like emails, and reports, and meetings, is open to public scrutiny. After all, you're the boss.
Voice of OC keeps track of your government from the council chambers to the inner sanctum of city hall. How the planning department is permitting construction, building or maintaining roads and policing the city are just a few of the public services that contribute to our quality of life.

Goldenseal Root Benefits Come With Side Effects
No, that price is not a typo. The above photo was taken at a co-op in Michigan where the powder retails for $250 per pound.
Are they ripping you off?
Nope. Goldenseal Walmart pricing is actually worse. In-store, they only sell the powder capsules, but their website sells the same bulk root powder at an even higher price of $259 per pound.
What is goldenseal root?
The goldenseal plant is an endangered perennial herb that's native to the Great Lakes region, southeast United States, and Ontario Canada. It's best known for purported medicinal uses which date back to the Native Americans. The Cherokee used root decoctions for eye infections, inflammation problems, and reportedly even cancer. Today it's a top selling dietary supplement for immune support.
Written in the 1700's, you can read about how the Indians used it in Materia Medica by Dr. Barton. (1)
That map is where goldenseal grows naturally, according to the USDA. If you want to find and harvest the plant in the wild, good luck with that! Due to over-harvesting throughout history, it has become an endangered species. Today you are most likely to find it on a commercial farm versus its natural habitat. (2)
Other names for goldenseal are yellow root, yellow puccoon, Indian dye, eye root, jaundice root, and ground raspberry. Its scientific name is Hydrastis canadensis.
What is goldenseal good for?
With only 3 clinical trials published and roughly 150 mentions in medical journals, there is too little evidence to substantiate any of the claimed health benefits. However what is believed to be its active ingredient – the alkaloid berberine – has nearly 100 clinical trials and 4,500 citations about it listed in the PubMed database. Research suggests this goldenseal extract might have the ability to reduce blood sugar, HbA1c levels, cholesterol, and inflammation. These advantages have been observed in animal studies, however they remain unproven in humans.
It's also good for making an herbal tea. If you don't have the pre-filled bags, here's a simple recipe of how to make goldenseal tea:
Measure 1/4 teaspoon of the powder and place in mug
Pour 1 cup of hot water into the mug
Allow to cool for several minutes before drinking
The instructions from Frontier Natural say to use "boiling" water but really, just below boiling (around 170° F) is preferred. That will better preserve the phytonutrients.
Goldenseal vs. berberine
Berberine is also found in barberry, Oregon grape, Californian poppy, and several other plants. So the berberine content in itself is not a unique alkaloid. However, the goldenseal plant contains other ingredients which might have mechanisms of action, including synergistically, and the content of these differs among the berberine-containing plants. (3)
For the dry root powder, the active constituents of goldenseal root are believed to be its isoquinoline alkaloids and flavonoids, which are found in the following percentages (4):
Berberine – 2.5%
Hydrastine – 1.5–4%
Canadine – 0.5%
Sideroxylin – <1%
8-Desmethyl-sideroxylin – <1%
Hydrastine was actually patented by Bayer over 100 years ago and used as a medication to stop bleeding (antihemorrhagic). (5)
Canadine has been found to act as a calcium channel blocker (CCB). That is a category of chemicals known to lower blood pressure caused by vessel stiffness. (6)
Goldenseal and echinacea
Finding goldenseal for sale by itself can be a challenge. Most supplements marketed for immune support will combine both of these herbs.
Echinacea is a member of the daisy family and it too was reportedly used by the Native Americans as an herbal remedy for infections and wound treatments. It has some natural antibiotic and antiviral-like properties and was used in medicine throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, prior to the invention of antibiotics. (7)
There have been around two dozen human clinical studies which look at echinacea for cold and flu. In Scandinavia, there is even a formulation made with it that their government has approved for respiratory tract infections. However to be clear, here in the US, UK, and Canada, it is for use as a dietary supplement only, as it has not been proven effective for any disease/condition. (8)
For use as a dietary supplement, popular brands which combine these two herbs are Nature's Way echinacea goldenseal liquid and capsule form, Gaia Herbs Rapid Relief capsules, and NOW Foods.
There are high quality supplements that even add in a 3rd or 4th herb, like Futurebiotics garlic echinacea goldenseal which are available on Amazon.
Other common combos include cat's claw, cayenne pepper, ginger, turmeric, and vitamin C.
Goldenseal benefits and uses
According to the U.S. government's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), the following list is what goldenseal is used for in alternative medicine and/or what scientists are researching it for:
Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
Digestive upset
Skin rashes
Sore gums
To reiterate, none of those purported health benefits have been proven. The NCCIH reports:
"The scientific evidence does not support the use of goldenseal for any health-related purpose."
However, they do mention they are currently funding research to evaluate how it might inhibit bacterial growth and whether or not that could be one of the medicinal properties of goldenseal. (9)
Goldenseal side effects
Increased risk of bleeding
Increased sensitivity to light
Low blood sugar
Electrolyte imbalance (hypernatremia)
Frequent drug interactions
Not safe during pregnancy
Not safe during breastfeeding
Not all of these side effects have been recorded in human data. Several are theoretical, based on animal research. Unlike many supplements and foods, with average dosage sizes you don't hear of the common adverse reactions like headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and so forth. This root is very well tolerated in those regards. (10) (11) (12)
echinacea flower
Side effects of echinacea and goldenseal taken together will be more likely, since echinacea is more commonly associated with nausea, upset stomach, worsening of asthma symptoms, joint pain, and allergies. Being a member of the daisy family, it's closely related to ragweed, marigolds, and other known triggers of nasal allergies and itchy eyes. (13)
An allergic reaction to goldenseal is theoretically possible, but there are no case studies or published reports of an allergy.
For both adults and children, the biggest danger with this plant is that the berberine in it can increase levels of bilirubin. That's a brownish-yellow substance found in your liver's bile that's made during the breakdown of old red blood cells. Too high of bilirubin levels can lead to yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice). (14)
Since the berberine in this plant is believed to have low bioavailability, it's unlikely to occur with regular supplemental dosing in adults. (15)
Is goldenseal safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding? Definitely not. Babies are at increased risk of jaundice, which can even lead to kernicterus, a form of permanent brain damage. This is why goldenseal and pregnancy are not safe. Nursing while using this supplement is also dangerous, since it passes into the breast milk. (16) (17)
Goldenseal interactions with prescription and over-the-counter drugs are common. It can alter liver function and most medications are broken down by the liver. That means it can cause decreased and/or slower absorption of a medication.
Possible drug interactions include cyclosporine, digoxin, antibiotics (i.e. tetracycline), anticoagulants (blood thinners), cancer medications, HIV therapies, antidepressants, antihistamines (i.e. Allegra), and numerous others. This is why it should not be used without consulting your doctor. (18) (19) (20)
Long term use of goldenseal in humans has not been studied. While there are lab studies which suggest it may offer anti-cancer properties, with high dosages the opposite may occur based on long term usage in rodents. In a two year toxicity study with both male and female rats and mice "the primary finding was an increase in liver tumors." (21)
It's believed that's due to its topoisomerase-inhibiting property. Topoisomerase enzymes help control the integrity of your DNA structure when they undergo routine breaking and rejoining. With their activity inhibited, more DNA damage can occur and hence, mutations like cancer can result.
The amount of topoisomerase-inhibiting was directly related to berberine content. The more there was, the higher the amount of DNA damage. This is why too much goldenseal could be bad for you. Even though noticeable side effects may not be apparent with a goldenseal overdose, this DNA damage may be occurring without your knowledge. (22)
Is goldenseal safe? In theory, it seems there may be a "tipping point" of where the root powder goes from being a benefit to a health risk.
In one lab study, it was said to suppress breast cancer growth by increasing DNA damage of the tumors, in combination with cisplatin (a chemotherapy drug). This chemoprotective action has been seen in other research, too. (23) (24)
In a different manner, it was found to inhibit a pathway of lung cancer cells. (25)
Just as with UV from the sun, our body can combat some exposure but not too much. This herb's interference with topoisomerase enzymes might be similar – perhaps a little is manageable and the offsetting benefits are worth it. But no one really knows, so at the end of the day, no one can conclusively claim this root powder is 100% safe for humans.
Is goldenseal safe for cats and dogs? Those uses have never been studied. The topoisomerase inhibition will also occur in other mammals. Aside from that, around a decade ago an article was published in a veterinarian journal where 29 participants reported "plants used for pregnancy support and milk production in pets." Goldenseal for infections of the uterus in dogs was mentioned once, but there was no scientific scrutiny of it. (26)
Does goldenseal work for a drug test?
To be clear, this is a topic we normally would never discuss on Superfoodly, as we definitely do not support drug usage. But with this particular plant, this topic gets brought up often – mostly out sheer curiosity – so we at least feel obligated to address what's fact vs. fiction.
Using the root to clean your system for a drug test is among the most popular uses. Legend has it that you can clean your urine for a drug test in 24 hours, by using it as a detox remedy. So does goldenseal clean THC?
Nope. Using goldenseal to pass a drug test is a big myth!
It stems from a story written by John Uri Lloyd, an author and pharmacist from Kentucky. The origin of this bizarre idea came from his 1900 novel, Stringtown on the Pike.
The book does not even talk of using it for drug detox from marijuana, cocaine, or any other substance. Rather, he talks of it creating a false-positive for poisoning from strychnine, which is a pesticide for killing small parasites.
Somehow, somewhere along the way, that led to so-called goldenseal drug tests. The "strategy" that using it would create testing errors and therefore, nullify the results.
Because so many people try this, now drug labs actually have protocols in place for detecting the berberine and hydrastine alkaloids from this plant. When they find a urine sample spiked with goldenseal root powder, it's a clue that person is probably up to no good! (27)
Other detox myths
Drugs aside, how long does it take for goldenseal to clean your system of other contaminants, such as chemicals and heavy metals?
Using it as a body cleanser isn't backed by science, either. In fact, the opposite may be true… it might actually slow down the rate at which your body rids itself of toxins!
When it comes to purifying your blood, your liver does the heavy lifting. As you will recall from the list of side effects, this plant can alter your liver function and therefore interact with medications. It can slow down the rate at which chemical compounds are broken down by the liver. However it is at least feasible that the goldenseal antibiotic-like properties might help to "detox" from bacterial infections…
Antimicrobial benefits
Is goldenseal a natural antibiotic? No. Any website reporting that is exaggerating the evidence. It has never been tested in humans or animals. That being said, in over a dozen laboratory studies it has demonstrated broad antibacterial activity, including against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus sanguis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (28)
Goldenseal herb vs. root
While most supplements are made from the root, research suggests that herb uses (the leaves) may be better for antibacterial activity. Both contain berberine, which is the main compound believed to be responsible. Even though the roots have more berberine, it has been found that goldenseal leaves contain other compounds which appear to enhance the effect.
"…some constituent(s) other than berberine in the extract from H. canadensis aerial portions synergistically enhance the antimicrobial activity of berberine. This synergistic enhancement is not due to hydrastine or canadine in the leaf extracts."
That's the finding when both the herb and the root extract were standardized to contain the same percentage of berberine. When done, the herb (leaf extract) worked better against the tested bacteria. (29)
It's unknown as to which compound(s) in the leaves are causing them to work better. But they have ruled out the 3 major active ingredients (berberine, hydrastine, and canadine).
Using Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause staph infections in the nose, lungs, and skin, the observed antibacterial effect was greater with the goldenseal leaf extract when it contained the same percentage of berberine as the root.
When tested against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), it was said that the leaf extracts work "via several different mechanisms." (30)
There are many websites out there touting goldenseal root UTI treatments. The dosage instructions they purport typically involve teas, tinctures, or pills which are taken 2-3x daily for 10 consecutive days. The problem is that these remedies are unproven, untested, and may not be safe for everyone.
Now it is true that UTIs are among the most common types of kidney infections. They're often caused by E. coli bacteria from food poisoning.
And yes, as mentioned above, there are lab studies which have shown it to inhibit the growth of E. coli in Petri dish-like experiments. It appears to work comparably to oregano oil. (31)
Does goldenseal really work? In the lab yes, but in humans that remains unknown. It's one thing to have antimicrobial effects on a plastic surface. The same effect inside of a living human or animal is something entirely different. You can't compare the two.
What has even weaker evidence is garlic and goldenseal oil for ear infections. Or more accurately said, there is no evidence. Similar to the scam of garlic and honey, it's a combo of ingredients that may sound intriguing for infections of the ear, but totally lacks validation and could actually be dangerous.
Can goldenseal cure chlamydia? Nope, but there's at least one study which suggests it might help in a different way. Though the research is too preliminary at this point.
A total of 51 patients received eye drops at an outpatient clinic for their eye infection of Chlamydia trachomatis. Some received a standard treatment of sulfacetamide drops, while others received eye drops containing berberine. (32)
Even though the clinical results were slightly better with the medicine, the patients with berberine chloride eye drops were also said to be cured and no relapses were noted for them during the following year.
The strange part was that the berberine didn't seem to work by having a direct effect against the Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. They speculated it worked by triggering some sort of immune system response.
That study was from the 80's and not much more has been done on the topic of chlamydia, neither as an eye infection or STD. It's far too preliminary to know whether berberine might help, let alone the yellow root plant which was not even used in that study.
Antifungal benefits
Yeast infections in lab experiments have been studied and it appears to work against several types, at least in that environment.
One study looked at strains of Candida and Cryptococcus fungus which are resistant to fluconazole, a prescription antifungal treatment. The scientists used isolated berberine extract against it. (33)
MIC = berberine extract. As you see, the fluconazole treatment (FLC) is not effective, since this strain is resistant to it. The more berberine that was used, the more damage there was to the Candida albicans' cell membranes.
The minimum inhibitory concentration only took 8 µg (micrograms) per milliliter. That's a very low concentration of just 0.0008%.
Now keep in mind that tiny percentage is in reference to pure berberine. Goldenseal yeast infection remedies you may read about are using the root powder, which is roughly 98% other compounds.
This is what the raw root powder looks like. It's similar to turmeric, but less orange.
If human studies find it to work, then it may end up being a candidate for use in mouth rinse, to combat oral thrush caused by Candida, as well as liquid or capsules for intestinal infections of this fungus, which are notoriously difficult to treat. Lab research also also found it to inhibit biofilm formation in dental applications, which may lend itself to natural cleaning applications. (34)
Does goldenseal cure BV? That's the nickname for bacterial vaginosis, which can produce symptoms of pain, itchiness, a white or grey vaginal discharge, and a fish-like odor.
BV is typically not caused by external or foreign bacteria, but rather an imbalance of bacteria which are naturally found down there. Balancing them out with this plant or its extracts has never been studied, not even in the lab. However on a related note, many women who think they have BV actually have vaginal yeast infections. Those are caused by fungus, not bacteria.
You will come across home remedy websites which talk of goldenseal suppositories for BV and vaginal yeast infections. Many reviews claim douches filled with the powder in a liquid form can work great. Soaking a clean tampon in the solution prior to insertion is the dosage instructions you often read about.
In a similar way for men, using a goldenseal cream for jock itch and athlete's foot are also purported remedies you may stumble across. Opening a capsule and mixing the powder with a pump of lotion is the typical instruction given.
Neither of these uses have been proven and while Candida can be one cause of "BV" yeast infections, it's not a cause of jock itch. The types of fungi which cause that and athlete's foot have not been tested. If you want to try either of those alleged remedies, you should consult your doctor first and understand their effectiveness and safety is unknown.
There are several skin care products on that market which make use of it as ingredient, but they do not claim it has antifungal or antibacterial properties:
You will find it in the ingredients of the Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions kit.
The root, along with myrrh, are the two main ingredients in Country Comfort Herbal Savvy. Its label describes the cream as a "disinfecting ointment for psoriasis, eczema, hemorrhoids, burns, infections, cuts, wounds, scraps, dry skin, etc." You can get Country Comfort on Amazon.
Antiviral activity
The least amount of research is about viruses. Unlike bacteria, there's very little evidence that it works for them.
Scientists at North Carolina State University claimed "our results suggest that berberine may indeed be useful for the treatment of infections with influenza A." That was based in lab research showing that it inhibited growth. However, there's also evidence to suggest that goldenseal for flu may be bad for you! (35)
Various herbs from Traditional Chinese Medicine were evaluated in the lab to see how they interacted with oseltamivir (Tamiflu). The models used involved cultured human cells. (36)
"Goldenseal had strong inhibitory activity and reduced carboxylate formation by about 75%"
Carboxylate is the active metabolite that is created from Tamiflu in the body. That's a clue that the plant probably interferes with the effectiveness of this influenza drug.
Neither the plant or berberine extract has ever been studied for the rhinovirus, which is a frequent cause of the common cold. Despite the lack of evidence, many people use echinacea goldenseal for colds and flu. Ironically, they may be prolonging their flu symptoms if they're using it with Tamiflu.
Killing parasites?
Berberine also appears to work against some larger lifeforms.
Coccidiosis is what's known as a protozoan parasite. It infects the digestive tracts of animals. In a study involving chickens where it was added to their feed, it appeared to have a healing effect. (37)
Before goldenseal medicinal uses came about in India, the history says they were first using it as a natural repellent for mosquitoes. It turns out that the bitterness of the berberine might have something to do with that, as research has found that it alters "the feeding decision of a blood-sucking insect via two sensory inputs." (38)
In mice infected with blood-flukes (the parasite Schistosoma), berberine was found to "promote recovery of colitis" and inflammation caused by them. (39)
While these and other findings are interesting, they don't tell us if goldenseal kills parasites. Virtually all of the studies involve isolated berberine, not the yellow root or its leaves.
The final verdict
There is a lot of promising research about the Hydrastis Canadensis plant, but not sufficient studies to prove it works for any ailment or as a preventive measure.
Although its ORAC value has not been measured, the berberine it contains has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in the liver, kidney, and pancreas of animals. (40)
In that research it was also found to be an AMPK activator. The AMPK pathway has been dubbed "the anti-aging enzyme" due to its apparent correlation with longevity/life extension, weight loss, and brain health as seen in numerous animal studies.
In short, there's nothing proven about yellow root, which is another name for goldenseal that's commonly used. Still though, at least the potentially beneficial things about it appear to outweigh the drawbacks. At least with small amounts.
A standard goldenseal dosage is 400 to 1,000 mg per day, which typically equates to 1 or 2 capsules depending on the brand. Barring drug interactions, this dosage is believed to be safe for most adults on a short-term basis.
Some are a higher dosage, like this bottle from Oregon's Wild Harvest. They list 1,605 mg per day in the form of 3 capsules taken with food. Long term usage of that high amount would not be recommended.
You can also find it the form of a liquid dropper, alcohol tincture, cream, and even a nasal spray. Those forms can be riskier since their content may not be standardized.
As far as a "best" brand it's tough to say, because there are many high quality goldenseal products on the market. One differentiator though is finding USDA certified organic. Almost none of the supplements are organic.
Best brands and where to buy
For capsule supplements, you have a number of options when it comes to blends:
Oregon's Wild Harvest echinacea goldenseal
Radiance Root capsules
Solgar echinacea goldenseal and cat's claw
Spring Valley echinacea goldenseal complex
Other common blends include barberry bark or Oregon grape root and goldenseal, as those are also natural sources of berberine.
Finding pure is more of a challenge. Manufacturers include Mediherb, Nature's Way, Nature's Sunshine, NOW Foods, Oregon's Wild Harvest, and Solaray.
When it comes to liquids and droppers:
Nature's Answer
Swanson (blend)
Zand Insure Immune Support (blend)
The concept of goldenseal essential oil is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, you can buy it in a little glass vial which looks like what essential oil is sold in, but when you read the label, you will see it's just powder mixed with water or alcohol. Currently you will not find Young Living, Edens Garden, Plant Therapy and similar brands offering a steam distilled version of the root's essential oils.
If you want to drink it as a juice or beverage, then try Alvita goldenseal tea or the organic version from Buddha Teas.
Rather than a specific brand, you may be wondering "who sells it near me" in any form! Well you can find at least one variety of capsules or tablets for sale at most locations of Walmart, CVS, GNC, Fairway, Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, Kroger, and Sprouts.
The stores we checked only carried a couple brands and several of these places only offered it as part of a blend with other herbs. You can't buy liquid goldenseal at Walmart or the other major retailers we checked. To get specialty forms like that, you may have to go to Amazon, Vitacost, etc.
Starwest Botanicals sells a 4 ounce bag of the bulk organic root powder on Amazon. If you want the leaf powder, you can also buy that.
For the root/rhizome capsules, the organic version by Oregon's Wild Harvest blended with echinacea is a good choice.

Shockheaded Peter
Previewed 14 February 2001, Opened 19 February 2001, Closed 28 April 2001 at the Piccadilly Theatre
Previewed 4 April 2002, Opened 11 April 2002, Closed 15 June 2002 at the Noel Coward Theatre
The 'junk opera' Shockheaded Peter in London inspired by Heinrich Hoffmann's The Struwwelpeter
Shockheaded Peter is based on a sequence of unpleasant poems by Heinrich Hoffmann, written in Germany in 1844 as The Struwwelpeter. You might remember the boy that never cuts his hair or trims his nails or the red-legged scissorman waiting in the wardrobe for thumbsuckers.
These poems have now been turned into songs and staged as a gory junk opera in which Hoffman's characters are re-cast as the dysfunctional offspring of a mutant fin-de-siecle society - a 19th Century pop video set in a Victorian advent calendar with cheap illustions, dusty props, shadowy figures, staged with low tech, hand made precision.
This new staging the original cast along with David Thomas and Two Pale Boys who will bring their own extraordinary interpretation to this award-winning show.
Musical inspired by The Struwwelpeter written and illustrated by Heinrich Hoffmann. Created by Julian Bleach, Anthony Cairns, Graeme Gilmour, Tamzin Griffin and Jo Pocock with music by the Tiger Lillies (Adrian Huge, Martyn Jacques and Adrian Stout). Directed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch with designs by Phelim McDermott, Julian Crouch and Graeme Gilmour.
This show has been seen in America and at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith in West London when it won the 1998 London Critics' Circle Award for 'Best Designer' for Phelim McDermott, Julian Crouch and Graeme Gilmour. Now, following a successful season at the Piccadilly Theatre when this show won the 2002 Olivier Award for 'Best Entertainment', Shockheaded Peter returns to the West End for a strictly limited season.
"Riotously original and funny, Shockheaded Peter is a delightful musical elegy for dead children. Inspired by the mid-19th century Struwwelpeter stories of Heinrich Hoffmann... These, like the Grimm stories, recount vivid nightmares of children who behaved badly and paid the price... These fates are casually recounted on a brightly lit toy theatre stage of slamming doors and scary puppets compered by a slinky bogeyman (Julian Bleach), and a trio of spooky musicians... the tales are recounted as moralising lessons with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon, Straw-headed Peter is punished only for being born with talon-like fingers, horrid hair and a ghastly paunch. He is buried under the floorboards. The show is his triumphal emergence and revenge, in gaint puppet form." The Daily Mail
"The music ranges through one insidious style after another - cafe chantant, valse infernale, tango, steel band, klezmer... How exhilarating - how rare - to see a post-1960 musical show worth seeing for musical reasons! Yet you could be tone-deaf and still find Shockheaded Peter a knock-out theatrical experience... A key part of its success is the theatrical imagination of its directors, Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, who are two of the most valuable people in the British performing arts today... Shockheaded Peter is in love with theatre itself. Crouch's set makes fabulous effects out of painted flats, exaggeratedly vanishing perspectives, traps that open in the floor, objects that descend from above, doors and windows galore. Then there are huge puppets, elaborate costumes, ornate wigs, cartoon make-up. They are very audacious - there are heart-stopping pauses when you wonder if something has gone wrong, but no - and yet they direct as if they had never lost the love of toy theatres they seem to have acquired in childhood." The Financial Times
"If you are silly enough to miss this show, you probably belong in it. Shockheaded Peter, inspired by the cautionary tales of Heinrich Hoffmann in The Struwwelpeter, is about all the stupid ways in which children can and do ignore the advice of their elders and betters. It is part travelling freak show, part amateur dramatics, part, well, this is where theatre leaves the fourth wall far behind and begins to exist in its own lusciously imagined world... The plot is cemented into delectable shape by the Tiger Lillies' magnificent songs... Regardless of their gruesome subject matter, these are some of the wittiest, gutsiest lyrics I have heard since the heyday of Porter and Berlin... This is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen." The Independent

It's Fu Long's Bearday today!! Hope your day is filled with bamboo and apples Fu!
Happy Birthday Fu Long!!
WOOHOOO...WHAT A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR LITTLE FU LONG...A SIBLING!! CONGRATULATIONS VIENNA ZOO AND FANS!! I BET LUPO, VERA AND HELENE ARE SMILING THIS MORNING!!!
2nd panda born in Vienna zoo
VIENNA - A NEW panda has been born in Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo, the second to be conceived naturally there, the zoo said on Tuesday.
Mother panda Yang Yang, who made history in on August 23, 2007, by giving birth to Fu Long - Europe's first panda to be naturally conceived in captivity - gave birth a second time on Monday afternoon after around four hours in labour, the zoo said in a statement.
The new baby, whose sex cannot yet be determined, was born exactly three years to the day after Fu Long, who was returned to China last year. The baby panda weighs around 100 grammes (0.2 pounds) and measures 10-12 centimetres (four-to-five inches) and will remain in the litter box with its mother for the next few months, the zoo said.
The zoo's panda house will remain closed to visitors for the time being to ensure the animals have absolute peace and quiet. Zoo chief Dagmar Schratter expressed 'great joy' at the news, but cautioned: 'The mortality rate among Great Pandas in the first year is around 40 per cent.'
Mating of pandas in captivity is extremely difficult, since females are only fertile three or four days a year.
Fu Long - 'Lucky Dragon' in Mandarin - was born in Schoenbrunn on August 23, 2007. He was the second panda to be born in Europe and one of only a few worldwide to be conceived naturally in captivity. Under the zoo's contract with China however, Fu Long had to return to his country of origin on his second birthday. -- AFP

Second panda born in Vienna zoo
(AFP) – 6 hours ago
VIENNA — Another panda has been born in Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo, the second in Europe to be conceived naturally in captivity, the zoo said Tuesday.
The 10-year-old mother, Yang Yang, who made history on August 23, 2007, by giving birth to Fu Long -- Europe's first panda to be naturally conceived in captivity -- gave birth a second time on Monday afternoon after around four hours in labour, the zoo said in a statement.
The new baby, whose sex cannot yet be determined, was born exactly three years to the day after Fu Long, who was returned to China last year.
As was the case with Fu Long, Yang Yang was actually carrying two babies, but the second did not survive , said the zoo's expert Eveline Dungl.
"Female pandas usually find a second baby too much and unfortunately we couldn't save it," Dungl told the Austrian news agency APA.
The surviving panda weighs around 100 grammes (0.2 pounds) and measures 10-12 centimetres (four-to-five inches) and will remain in the litter box with its mother for the next few months.
Both the mother and the new baby were in good health and Yang Yang was letting her cub suckle, Dungl said.
The zoo's panda house will remain closed to visitors for the time being to ensure the animals have absolute peace and quiet.
Zoo chief Dagmar Schratter expressed "great joy" at the news, but cautioned: "The mortality rate among Great Pandas in the first year is around 40 percent."
It was therefore a tradition in China that the animals are named only 100 days after their birth, because not only the immediate post-birth period was dangerous, but the first teething as well, zoologist Dungl said.
Dungl suggested a number of factors had made the two successful births possible in Vienna.
"Firstly, it must be said that Yang Yang and her mate Long Hui are a wonderful couple, who harmonise well, even though pandas are usually loners," the expert said.
But the animals' pen was optimal and the zoo was very careful about the pandas' diet, she added.
Fu Long -- "Lucky Dragon" in Mandarin -- was the second panda to be born in Europe and one of only a few worldwide to be conceived naturally in captivity.
Under the zoo's contract with China, however, Fu Long had to return to his country of origin on his second birthday.
Pandas, even when conceived abroad, are the property of the Republic of China and only loaned to foreign zoos.
Less than 1,600 giant pandas remain in the wild, according to a 2006 China panda report.
Earlier this month, Schoenbrunn hit the headlines with the birth of a baby elephant, called Tuluba, who has already become a hit with visitors.

Netflix Ultraman Anime Story, Release Date, & Trailer
Info has been released on the Ultraman Anime to be released on Netflix, including the trailer, and release date April 1st, 2019. The directors are Kenji Kamiyama and Shinji Aramaki, and the main voice actors are Ryōhei Kimura, Takuya Eguchi, Megumi Han, and Tanaka Hideyuki. The series is 13 episodes (hopefully more if it is popular), and will be released all at once. Below is the intro and story from the official website as well as the trailer and stills.
There used to be a "light giant" that has kept the peace of the earth from the crisis of huge monsters and invading aliens. That name is Ultraman. The time has passed since human beings were in prosperity since he had been assimilated with Hayatoden of the Science Special Forces Corps and left the earth after completing its mission. However, it was just an upright peace ....
Now, again when the power of "light giant" is required, a new hero inheriting the factor of light appears. But it is not a giant. It was a senior high school student who was dressed in a reinforcement suit for metallic bodies ...
His name is Shojiro Hayada. A new story that the man who was once Ultraman, Susumu Hayasuda struggles as much as possible to become a new generation Ultraman opens the door here! !
"Ultraman" first appeared on TV in 1966. About a half century passed, in 2011, the comic "ULTRAMAN" (original: Eiichi Shimizu × Tomohiro Shimoguchi Monthly Heroes series) appeared.
"ULTRAMAN" draws the world after Ultraman left the earth. Ultraman as a "life-sized hero" fighting wearing a reinforced suit of steel is a son of a former hero who has life-sized troubles, the new world view that this work has opened up is many young people Received sympathy and support from the group, cumulative issue of comics has become more than 2.80 million copies hit.
"ULTRAMAN" will also challenge a new world for animation. The work is directed by Kamiyama Kenji of "Ghost in the Shell SAC" series, "Hinune Hime ~ A story of unknown I" and Director Shinji Aramaki of "APPLESEED" "Starship Troopers Red Planet".
Director Kamiyama, who has received tremendous support from both domestic and international animation fans with a heavy SF setting and a story tailing of multilayered human drama, is the forerunner of full 3D CG animation movie in Japan, CG mechanic gadget Director Aramaki who is highly evaluated abroad in action direction. "ULTRAMAN" which is handled by two people system by gorgeous creator who the world draws attention is produced as full 3D CG animation. Production IG × SOLA DIGITAL ARTS is in charge of animation production in which the precise texture of Ultraman Suit by 3DCG and dynamic action unique to animation fuse and leap into the production with the introduction of motion capture technology that reflects actor's performance in the character .
The hero Ultraman that Japan boasts of the world now becomes "ULTRAMAN" of animation work, opening a new history towards the world.
There used to exist in this world as a giant of light. Eventually the light giant finished its role and returned to his hometown in the distant universe and the assimilated Earthling person returned to the place where he should stay by losing his memory until then It was. The existence of Ultraman became a thing of the past, and the Science Special Forces Japan branch had also changed its appearance to the giant memorial hall of light after finishing its role.
Shojiro Hayada is a high school student who has a pleasant adolescence. However, he realized that he had power that was not "ordinary" separated by humans, such as amazing jumping power and sturdy flesh.
One day, Shojiro knows that his father, Mr. Hideharada, was once Ultraman.
And the existence of aliens that dance to earth without Ultraman.
Shinjiro was one of the few conformers who could wear Ultraman Suit developed by Ide of a science special forces who is as secret organization.
"Tell me straight away - I want you to become Ultraman"

Fairgrounds improvements put rabbit show on hiatus
Funhouse October 5 October 5
There are some changes to the fairgrounds in an area that generally featured one of the tightest pedestrian walkways at the fair. Fairgoers coming in from Gate 8 and walking up past the Village of Yesteryear would typically face a congested area where the rabbit barn, MarketPlace and N.C. State Howling Cow ice cream booth are located. This spring the rabbit barn building was torn down to open the space up in this area. "The number of exhibitors in our rabbit show has declined over the years," said Kent Yelverton, fair manager. "The facility that was used to house the…
