Red light therapy may reduce deadly blood clots

Summary:

Exposure to long-wavelength red light significantly reduced blood clot formation in both mice and human studies. Red light was associated with lower inflammation, reduced immune system activation, and fewer clot-promoting mechanisms, such as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and platelet activation.

Unlike blue or white light, red light influenced clotting through optic pathways, suggesting its effects are mediated by neural mechanisms rather than direct blood exposure. These findings offer promising implications for reducing risks of heart attacks, strokes, and other clot-related conditions, particularly in high-risk groups like cancer patients.

Researchers are developing red-light-based interventions, such as goggles, to explore potential therapeutic applications. If verified through clinical trials, this approach could revolutionize clot prevention and save millions of lives.

Could high school students uncover one of the biggest health risks of our time?

A recent study conducted under FDA supervision found DNA contamination in Pfizer's COVID vaccines—up to 470 times the regulatory safety limits.

Join us as we dive into this shocking revelation published in the Journal of High School Science.

Explore potential risks like DNA mutations and cancer, and hear from investigative experts like Kevin McKernan and Dr. John Campbell.

What does this mean for the future of gene therapies, public health, and trust in regulatory bodies?

Pharma industry front group recruits 17K-strong doctor army for anti-RFK lobbying blitzkrieg

By way of caveat, which I will continue to offer until if/when the RFK Jr. tree bears fruit, I am by no means convinced that he is actually going to do anything about the elephant in the room — the mRNA gene therapy revolution — especially since he's gone silent on the vaxx front since being announced for HHS head.

Maybe his apologists are right and he's playing the long game; time will tell.

Yet, whatever goods he truly plans to deliver or not, it's heartening to see the industry so transparently freaked out about a guy who explicitly promised not to take any vaccines off of the market. Indeed, all that RFK has very meekly floated policy-wise is that they undergo actual safety testing, which would require a placebo control group and which doesn't currently happen for any of the shots currently approved by the FDA.

But even that is a bridge too far for the industry.

Moderna buried child's death in COVID booster trial in EU report, FDA response called 'misleading'

moderna vaccine
Stock-plunging mRNA vaccine maker, already in bed with feds on vaccine royalties, says booster not "causally" related without giving evidence. Investigations have found feds rarely enforce mandatory disclosure regulations.

President Joe Biden bestowed the National Medal of Technology and Innovation on a vaccine maker that allegedly hid a child's death in a COVID-19 clinical trial from Americans, and the Food and Drug Administration may have known about the purported subterfuge.

Moderna apparently only disclosed the death from "cardio-respiratory arrest," which it asserted without evidence was not related to the child's jab, in the European Union Clinical Trials Register Sept. 30, six months after its trial on "healthy children" 6 months-12 years ended, but not in publicly accessible U.S. system ClinicalTrials.gov as legally required.

California Governor orders investigation into ultra-processed foods

pop tarts
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Jan. 3 issued an executive order directing state agencies to recommend actions to target ultra-processed foods and related health concerns in the state.

As Jane Yang reports for The Epoch Times, The governor's office said that such foods are known to carry health risks and that Newsom's actions are "designed to support affordable, healthy living and reduce the growing impact of chronic illnesses on Californians."
"The food we eat shouldn't make us sick with disease or lead to lifelong consequences," Newsom said in a statement.

"We're going to work with the industry, consumers and experts to crack down on ultra-processed foods, and create a healthier future for every Californian."

Study finds DNA contamination in Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines

Experts warn that genetic fragments in inoculations might overstimulate the immune system, potentially leading to cancer.

Pfizer's mRNA Covid-19 vaccines contain residual DNA levels exceeding regulatory safety limits, according to a peer-reviewed study published this week in the Journal of High School Science.

The research was conducted by student scientists at the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) White Oak Campus lab in Maryland.

Residual DNA refers to small pieces of genetic material that may remain in vaccines or medicines after manufacturing. These fragments come from the cells or processes used to make the products.

World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines state that a single vaccine dose should not contain more than 10 nanograms of residual DNA. The study, however, found levels in Pfizer's vaccines exceeding this limit by six to 470 times.

Elderberry: The immunity defender that helps you fight cold and flu

Elderberry has been used in traditional medicine for centuries.

Elderberry has been revered for centuries as a go-to remedy for respiratory infections, fever, and inflammation — both acute and chronic.

The herb was detected in the charred remains of ancient settlements, leading some researchers to speculate that elder trees may have intentionally been cultivated thousands of years ago.

In traditional medicine, elderberry is used to treat diabetes, dry skin, diarrhea, headaches, constipation, conjunctivitis, rheumatism, and other ailments. Hippocrates, the "father of medicine," called elderberry his "medicine chest" because of its wide range of healing properties.

Cooking oils used by millions linked to cancer in second study in a week

cooking oil vegetable unhealthy
Vegetable oils are evil!
Imagine if something as common as the oil in your kitchen could be silently contributing to cancer. For millions around the world, this unsettling possibility has moved from speculation to science. Two studies, released just days apart, have cast a harsh spotlight on widely used cooking oils, suggesting a troubling connection between their consumption and increased cancer risks, particularly in the colon.

These findings are not just scientific footnotes — they are alarms ringing in households globally, where seed oils like sunflower, soybean, and canola are staples in daily cooking. As scientists dive deeper into the health consequences of these oils, they're uncovering a hidden cost to convenience and affordability. Are we sacrificing long-term health for short-term savings? And if so, how can we protect ourselves from this unseen risk?

Comment: Re suggestion one: Olive oil is also easily damaged by heat. It is much better used to dress dishes after cooking is complete. Avocado oil and coconut oil are fine, if you must use a vegetable oil, but butter, tallow and lard are the healthiest cooking fats of all.

Fact-checking The Guardian: Will most pregnant women and babies who get bird flu die?

bird flu children's health defense
An article published Thursday in The Guardian — under the headline "Most pregnant women and unborn babies who contract bird flu will die, study finds" — misrepresented the study's findings, according to scientists who reviewed the study for The Defender.

As public health officials ramp up panic around a possible bird flu pandemic, The Guardian also reported that a "severe strain of bird flu known as highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) is spreading globally."

However, the news outlet added the caveat that human infections are rare, limited to people who work in close contact with animals and there is no evidence of transmission between humans.

US suffers first severe human case of bird flu; California declares emergency

The U.S. reported its first severe human case of bird flu on Wednesday in a Louisiana resident who is hospitalized in critical condition after suspected contact with an infected backyard flock.

California, the most populous state, declared an emergency over the H5N1 virus as it spread more widely in dairy herds and after it has infected dozens of farm workers this year.

Federal and state officials have failed to control the nation's outbreak, which infected dairy cattle for the first time in 2024, as some farmers resist testing and containment measures.

Comment: Is this the real deal or just another instance of fear-mongering? Only time will reveal the truth. Regardless, it is likely to drive growth in industries such as vaccines, fake meat, and insect-based products.
