[[link removed]] Stitched Together, Still Broken: The Piecemeal U.S. Healthcare Model
U.S. healthcare is a complex, costly web with little to show for it. Even as expenses soar, health outcomes stagnate. The key isn’t just navigating the system, but recognizing the power you have to challenge its limits and find a more effective approach. Technology, while advancing, remains tangled in the same broken system, offering few solutions to the deeper issues at hand.

During the second half of April 2025, AVFCA brought awareness to specific observance days by sharing our original stories that matched these themes:



Earth Day : “Biodynamic Farming: A Cornucopia of Interconnection"

Because biodynamic agriculture has spiritual aspects, does not make it “woo-woo.” It may be off the beaten path for some, while you may find it rich and rewarding. Farms have a closed feedback loop where one element, such as nourishing the soil with specific time-honored practices, feeds into the next. Harvests may be drawn from lunar cycle plantings, and the farm must be fully organic to receive biodynamic certification. In addition, at least 50% of what the animals eat must be grown on the farm. This description merely touches on the topic, as there are many more unique perspectives based on these principles. [link removed] [[link removed]]



International Creativity and Innovation Day : "Tattoo Ink: Mislabeled, Minimally Regulated, and Permanent - Is There Cause for Concern?”

New research from Binghamton University published in February 2024 shows an alarmingly high number of mislabeled tattoo ink samples.

Included are heavy hitters: polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and 2-phenoxyethanol. Health risks include organ damage and harm to nursing babies. [link removed] [[link removed]]



Our team also reads hundreds of articles each week, and those of interest are shared on our social media platforms. However, once or twice a week, our team reads an article that is profound or shares a perspective that is new or from an expert that AVFCA feels should be highlighted. These articles are shared on our Substack.
