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

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.

The number of healthcare workers receiving COVID-19 and flu vaccines declined during the 2023-24 cold and flu season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Only 15.3% of acute hospital workers and 10.5% of nursing home personnel received a COVID-19 vaccine during the 2023-24 season — down from 17.8% and 22.8% respectively, the CDC said in its Oct. 31 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Based on data from the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network, flu vaccine rates for the same healthcare worker groups were higher than COVID-19 vaccine rates — 80.7% for acute care hospital personnel and 45.4% for nursing home personnel.

Flashback Video: The Inventor of the PCR Test, Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis

Dr. Fauci's Most Notable Critic

Comment: This following article reaches back to May of 2021, just as the 'tested positive' thing was put into hyperdrive. At that time, PCR testing followed hard on the heels of mass death in elderly care homes and hospitals (in Canada, the U.S., the UK, and just about everywhere else), also just as the virus itself was waning and the vaccines were waxing. Thus, the so-called pandemic and mRNA vaccine 'program' needed a boast, with the mechanism helping to hype fear and maintain the lie. Enter stage left, the 'cases' manufactured by the PCR test.

At that time and thereafter, covid death came under a critical eye and was written about, from over drugging and from within the very hospitals where patients were under care. At that time, the lock step media went into overdrive, shouting out in unison the language of positive testing, until the PCR test became a household name.

So, no longer in communities was the news focused on stating that 2 more have sadly died from covid, no, it became another 1,200 cases tested positive (no doubt, that hardly a reader will not have had a family member, friend, colleague or acquaintance, who had not tested positive as a covid case, least that it had happened to themselves).

This short article and video is about Dr. Kary Mullis, the PCR test inventor, who also had had an ugly history with Dr. Fauci during the AIDS years, when Fauci was pushing the drug AZT and Kary was testing/sampling.


"The PCR is a process. It does not tell you that you are sick." -Dr. Kary Mullis,

(image right) Nobel Laureate and Inventor of the RT-PCR, passed away in August 2019.

"...All or a substantial part of these positives could be due to what's called false positives tests." -Dr. Michael Yeadon, distinguished scientist, former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Pfizer

"This misuse of the RT-PCR technique is applied as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of constitutional rights, ... under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT-PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients." -Dr. Pascal Sacré, Belgian physician specialized in critical care and renowned public health analyst.

"I have seen massive efforts made to deliberately inflate Covid death numbers by relabelling cancer patients and stroke victims and all manner of normal regular deaths as Covid, in fact virtually anyone getting into an ambulance. The methods used to do so were totally flawed, PCR tests for example being run on 45 cycles we all know to be worthless, yet people are being euthanised on this basis and sometimes only on the basis of a chest x-ray alone." -John O'Looney, Funeral Director, Milton Keynes, U.K.

From the outset of this crisis in January 2020, all far-reaching policy decisions upheld and presented to the public as a "means to saving lives" were based on flawed and invalid RT-PCR positive cases.

These invalid COVID-19 "estimates" have been used to justify confinement, social distancing, wearing of the face mask, the prohibition of social gatherings, cultural and sports events, the closure of economic activity, as well as the enforcement of the mRNA "vaccine" launched in November 2020. There is no such thing as a "COVID-19 confirmed case".- Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics (emeritus), University of Ottawa.

Comment: From the above link:
According to scientific opinion:

"if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the case in most laboratories in Europe & the US), the probability that said person is actually infected is less than 3%, the probability that said result is a false positive is 97% (Pieter Borger, Bobby Rajesh Malhotra, Michael Yeadon, Clare Craig, Kevin McKernan, et al, Critique of Drosten Study)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Saturday that a Trump administration would, on its first day, "advise all U.S​. water systems to remove fluoride from public water."

Kennedy linked fluoride to various illnesses, despite major medical associations supporting water fluoridation, which they say is safe and a benefit to public health.

"President ​@realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to Make America Healthy Again," the former Democratic presidential hopeful wrote in a post to X, tagging Michael Connett, an attorney who has led litigation that opposes the fluoridation of public drinking water.
