Emails Shed Light on East Palestine Response

Newly released emails show the Biden administration may have withheld information from the public about potential cancer clusters and other health risks after the 2023 Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine.

The documents reveal that government officials discussed a “really toxic plume,” estimating $65 million in related health care costs. FEMA’s Federal Coordinator was instructed not to engage with residents, and an unmet needs report was never released.

East Palestine activists have criticized the response to the derailment, citing ongoing health concerns and calling a $25 million settlement with Norfolk Southern for medical testing inadequate.

Andrew McKinley, a local chef from Indiana, had been suffering from tinnitus for over 13 years. The constant ear ringing disrupted his sleep, focus, and daily life—until something unexpected happened.

One evening, Andrew prepared a new dish using a unique blend of ingredients. The moment he took a bite, he noticed the ringing in his ears began to fade. Within minutes, the buzzing got quieter… and then completely vanished.

Shocked and curious, Andrew consulted medical experts. Tests revealed that his dish contained a rare spice known for its powerful neurological benefits. Doctors were stunned—this single spice appeared to calm the nerves responsible for Tinnitus.

Now, researchers say just one tablespoon of this spice may be enough to silence ear ringing for good, without pills, surgery, or expensive treatments.

Over 45,000 people have already tried it with incredible success.
