For a few reasons, I store in my fridge, when I have a fridge, nearly always a chunk of raw ginger root to gnaw on, then swallow the juice and spit the fibrous husk out — an invigorating, only slightly torturous experience that really opens up the sinus cavities and makes one feel alive.

I usually don't devote any thought to chewing ginger, as it's well-developed habit at this point.

But I considered exploring the topic after I arrived in Bangkok after some time away and began to include heavily in my diet street food that is absolutely littered with monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Despite the reams of scientific literature pointing to MSG being a neurotoxin, Thai vendors buy the stuff by the kilo and dump it into basically everything because they believe it tastes aroi (good).

'I think somebody has to find out. If you go back 25 years ago, you had very little autism. Now you have it,' Trump said.
President-elect Donald Trump said on Dec. 8 that he will give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the freedom to investigate the potential link between vaccines and autism if the latter gains Senate confirmation to become secretary of health and human services (HHS).

Kennedy has said for years that autism is likely tied to childhood vaccines.

He was nominated to serve as HHS secretary by Trump last month and has promised sweeping changes to agencies under the HHS department, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to a series of eight interim reports obtained by the author in November 2024, the Department of Defense (DOD) engaged in a longitudinal SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) seroprevalence study of 29,000 members of the U.S. military between May 2020 and June 2021. Active, Guard, and Reserve components were included in the study.

Each document is marked "For Official Use Only" or "Controlled Unclassified Information" in a preventative measure to avoid being released outside of DOD.

Despite the risk, the revealing documents were provided to Children's Health Defense by an unnamed military whistleblower.

Seroprevalence can be defined as the percentage of a population who have the presence of neutralizing antibodies in their blood, showing they have been exposed to a virus or other infectious agent.

Study finds fat cells have a 'memory' of obesity

Most people who lose weight through dieting will see it creep back up, leading to a cycle of "yo-yo dieting" that's hard on the body. A new study suggests fat cells keep a memory of previous weight gain, which may help to explain why this happens.

Losing weight can be a lot of work, which makes it all the more frustrating when, little by little, the weight creeps back. Now, a study suggests that fat cells retain a memory or past obesity, which may prime the cells to grow when exposed to high-fat foods.

The research "might add to the growing body of evidence that disproves lack of willpower as the underlying force behind 'weight cycling,'" said Dr. Katherine H. Saunders, an obesity physician at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of FlyteHealth, a software and clinical services company for medical obesity treatment, who was not involved in the study.

Comment: If the researchers really want to progress, they should focus on sugar and the chemically altered analogs created from fructose not to mention the poisons pervading our environment. Healthy animal fats are the proper fuel for humans.

Did the C19 vaccine kill 17 million? Yes, but how? Not what you think!

17 million?

My co-authors and I first calculated the now iconic 17 million vaccine-deaths number (with uncertainties) in two large papers:
  1. using Southern Hemisphere countries (2023)
  2. using 125 countries worldwide (2024)
The accepted test for a causal relation in epidemiology was satisfied.

We had previously found the temporal associations to be quite striking in: India (2022), Australia (2022), and Israel (2023). The vaccine dose fatality rate was exponential with age.

Vaccine-associated features had also been seen in the mortality data of the USA (2022).

Excess mortality prior to all C19 vaccine rollouts

In 2020, I showed that large excess mortality occurring prior to all vaccine rollouts had to be due to the aggressive extraordinary measures, not a spreading pathogen, in my 2 June 2020 paper: "All-cause mortality during COVID-19: No plague and a likely signature of mass homicide by government response".

We continued this work ever since: CORRELATION.

Essentially no excess mortality occurred anywhere in the world prior to the World Heath Organization's 11 March 2020 arbitrary declaration of a pandemic. All excess mortality, vaccine induced or not, has been politically driven.

Arguably the best calculation of total global Covid-period (2020-2022, prior to 2023) excess all-cause mortality (pre- and post-vaccine rollouts) is from our 521-page 2024 paper:
  • Excess mortality rate 0.392 ± 0.002 %, corresponding to 30.9 ± 0.2 million excess deaths = 31 million all excess deaths up to the end of 2022

Comment: As a physicist, Denis often brings an interesting perspective to these subjects. The talk above is one such.

This talk has its genesis on societal hierarchical controls - from a lesser to greater degree of authoritarianism and violence (for instance, the covid vaccine, in this case, can be classified as doing violence), that when greater, would only beget increased totalitarianism, as was very much the case country by country.

Here, Rancourt is talking about an enforced "mega experiment" of poison, which seems naturally to have been accelerated per dose, becoming deadlier as tied exponentially to age. This was half what the universal doubling time for all cause mortality is based on age.

Thus, for people suffering with all kinds of other psychological factors/stressors piled on, this so-called pandemic became a case of human toxicology, a "mass poisonings exercise" of the mind and body provided by the powers that be.

Bovaer Trial...are we being played?

We published an article last week on "Bovaer", the chemical compound, currently being trialled in the UK, which is added to cow feed to reduce methane emissions (allegedly).

Since then the story has grown, and I just wanted to do a quick update and ask a question that's nagging at me, but we'll get to that.

Firstly the good news - the widespread disgust. People all over the country have objected to the "low emission" drug, leading to boycotts of the dairy giant Arla and their associated brands.

Social media users are posting pictures of stacked shelves of unsold Lurpak butter and Cravendale milk.

Smaller farms and organic dairy producers have jumped on the chance for good publicity and released statements declaring themselves "Bovaer free" (Some people have made lists)

Some are even taking potshots and Bill Gates, which is always fun.

The BBC has turned Marianna Spring loose to do a fact-check, and "experts" have reassured her that Bovaer is safe...which was pretty much always going to happen.

A stranger development can be found in The Daily Mail, which has run a few stories on this issue, including publishing a full list of all the products Arla is involved with to enable boycotts.

Why would they do that? Appeasing their audience? Hopping on the bandwagon?

Perhaps.

But there's more. The story isn't actually new, Bovaer was approved by the UK government back in December of 2023 and was already being trialled by Marks & Spencer in April of this year.

So why the big fuss now, a year later?

Europe's biggest dairy company is facing a backlash after giving cows a synthetic additive to their feed in an attempt to cut their methane emissions.

Arla, which makes brands including Lurpak butter and Cravendale milk, said it was working with Morrisons, Tesco and Aldi to trial giving cows the additive Bovaer.

Thirty of Arla's 9,000 farmers will test how the additives can be introduced into normal feeding routines, with the aim of then rolling Bovaer out more broadly.

Arla said Bovaer had been found to reduce methane emissions from cows by around 27pc.

Comment: More climate scam nonsense with an added dose of hubris. There is more methane coming up in the ocean, or out of arctic permafrost each year, not to mention different creatures, than the entirety of the world cattle population could produce. It's lunacy.

Florida's surgeon general advises against adding fluoride to drinking water

On Friday, Florida's Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced that communities in the state shouldn't add fluoride to drinking water because of what he called the "neuropsychiatric risk associated with fluoride exposure."

Fluoride has long been proven to drive down tooth decay by strengthening teeth, which Ladapo acknowledged in the guidance. But he added that there are also possible "safety concerns related to systemic fluoride exposure," including reductions in IQ. While some studies have suggested potential links, the research is considered preliminary and far from definitive.

The American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention support the use of fluoridated water, calling it one of the top 10 public health achievements of the past century. All cite studies that show it reduces tooth decay by 25%.

Once its benefits were proven, fluoride was also added to toothpaste and some mouthwashes. Dentists began giving kids fluoride treatments. Some communities are restoring fluoride to their water systems after seeing a rise in children's cavities.

The anti-fluoride drumbeat has become louder in recent years. Communities have increasingly opted out of adding it to water, citing possible health risks. There are ongoing, active investigations about safe levels of fluoride exposure.

Comment: How can I check the fluoride levels in my water?
To determine the levels of fluoride in your water, visit the DEP's DataMiner report, which lists public community water systems that may contain fluoride.
Go to:

From there, select your water system to see the most recent data on fluoride levels in your water.

The DNA contamination found in mRNA vaccines can integrate into the genome of normal human cells, a top molecular scientist has confirmed with an experiment in his lab.

Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults, a Professor in the Department of Drug Discovery and Biomedical Sciences at the University of South Carolina, carried out the experiment in response to scepticism about earlier findings about DNA contamination and posted the results on X.

Concerns about DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines - a byproduct of their manufacture that should have been removed before use - emerged in early 2023 due to the work of Dr. Kevin McKernan of Medicinal Genomics, a medical research company.

Calcifediol: Vitamin D's Active Molecule, And Its Role in Long COVID - A Case Study

Dr.Gaby

Sat, 16 Nov 2024 17:54 UTC
long covid
The following case is that of a 49-year-old woman, who we will call MV, and who benefited enormously from the active form of vitamin D, calcifediol, to relieve her disabling symptoms following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.

Background

MV is a moderate smoker and, as I see it, she hasn't quit smoking, despite her own very negative views on this habit, due to self-medication purposes. Simply put, she needs regular nicotine infusions to survive what she is going through. See my article here on this subject: COVID-19, ACE2, Nicotinic Receptors And The Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory And Cognitive-Improving Pathway.

MV has no known allergies, but is intolerant to opioids, and supplements like the highly available magnesium bisglycinate gives her diarrhea. This later data and the fact that she has been persistently low in folic acid since the COVID-19 era, like most of my patients, makes me think that her microbiome took a hit with SARS COV2, like most affected people.

MV, by the way, received 3 doses of COVID-19 mRNA and has had COVID-19 on 6 occasions since 2020.
