WTF?! Bryan Johnson, the tech millionaire famed for his many attempts to reverse aging and extend his life, including injecting himself with plasma from his teenage son, has run into an issue with one of the 54 different supplements he takes every day: it was making him older, not younger.

Johnson, who earned over $300 million when his mobile and web payment company Braintree was acquired by PayPal in 2013, has gained plenty of attention in recent times for his Project Blueprint anti-aging quest. He also sells his own (very expensive) supplement stacks and individualized health regimens under the Blueprint name.

Comment: Vegan diet? Avoiding the sun? He might as well start planning his funeral now.

The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it's banning the use of Red No. 3, a synthetic dye that gives food and drinks their bright red cherry color but has been linked to cancer in animals.

The dye is still used in thousands of foods, including candy, cereals, cherries in fruit cocktails and strawberry-flavored milkshakes, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a food safety advocacy group that petitioned the agency in 2022 to end its use. More than 9,200 food items contain the dye, including hundreds of products made by large food companies, CSPI said, citing Agriculture Department data. The FDA is not prohibiting other artificial dyes, including Red No. 40, which has been linked to behavioral issues in children.

The FDA's decision is a victory for consumer advocacy groups and some U.S. lawmakers who have long urged it to revoke Red No. 3's approval, citing ample evidence that its use in beverages, dietary supplements, cereals and candies may cause cancer as well as affect children's behavior.

Nearly a third of people in the U.S. have been exposed to unregulated contaminants in their drinking water that could impact their health, according to a new analysis by scientists at Silent Spring Institute. What's more, Hispanic and Black residents are more likely than other groups to have unsafe levels of contaminants in their drinking water and are more likely to live near pollution sources.

The findings, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, add to growing concern about the quality of drinking water in the United States and the disproportionate impact of contamination on communities of color.

Close to 100 contaminants are currently regulated under the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act. This means public water utilities must test for these contaminants and take steps to ensure levels don't exceed certain limits by installing new treatment systems and taking other measures.

Preventable deaths and vitamin D3

Vit D3

We had an inexpensive life-saving solution both before and during the pandemic...

The inconvenient truth is that even at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a very simple, inexpensive and effective treatment was available that could have saved the majority of lives lost (1-3). All that the WHO and public health bureaucracy had to do was to recommend and support people taking sufficient Vitamin D3.

This failure to act traces back to the unscientific bias and pro-vaccine obsession of Dr. Anthony Fauci. And once again the legacy media, while being paid by the US government and the pharmaceutical industry to promote vaccination, acted by censoring, defaming and suppressing the ability of physicians to inform people of scientific truth. The disease you suffered, the loss of life among your family and friends, could have been greatly reduced by simply getting enough Vitamin D3. This is another example of what happens when unelected bureaucrats are allowed to control free speech. Crimes against humanity.

The effectiveness of Vitamin D3 as an immune system-boosting prophylactic treatment for influenza and other respiratory RNA viruses was first discovered in 2006 (4, 5). Despite that fact that this treatment is amazingly effective for preventing death (by strengthening your immune system), it has never been investigated by the NIH, promoted by the CDC or by the US government for the treatment of influenza. One major issue has been that uncontrolled variables of dosing, timing of dosing and disease status have resulted in inconsistent clinical trial results (much as we have seen with the Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine COVID trials). However, when Vitamin D3 is given prophylactically at sufficient doses, there is clear and compelling evidence that Vitamin D blood levels of around 50 ng/ml will substantially reduce symptomatic infection, severe disease and mortality.

Human clinical trials are underway to use mosquitoes to vaccinate people against malaria, cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough reported on his Substack.

McCullough cited a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in November reporting results from a double-blind, controlled clinical trial at two university medical centers in the Netherlands.

The trial evaluated the safety, side effects and efficacy of immunizing people via mosquito bites, using mosquitoes infected with a genetically engineered version of the parasite that causes malaria.

A mainstream media article mentions a direct link between Covid vaccines and cancer

An article in the Daily Mail about the campaign for compensation for victims of Covid vaccine injury mentions many case reports of patients who suffered severe reactions and even death after receiving a Covid vaccine. The real tragedy is that such reactions are only compensated if there is 60% disability, which means the loss of a limb or severe paralysis. This does not cover the many thousands of victims who have suffered life changing damage and are left unable to work because of vaccine damage who are not deemed eligible for compensation. As usual they have been brushed off with the usual platitudes that the benefit outweighs the 'very rare' side-effects they have suffered.

It's great that the mainstream media have at last aired this in such a large article, just when the official Covid Inquiry is due to look at the fourth component on vaccines. Written submissions from myself and my associates to the inquiry have not been responded to and we fear they may not even be published.

Whereas the link between the vaccines and clots, heart attacks and strokes is so well known (despite still being classified as rare, though not so rare that AstraZeneca quietly withdrew its vaccine from the market), the link with cancer which I first exposed over two years ago here has assiduously been ignored.

It's therefore important that a patient who suffered first clots and then a rare lymphoma following the vaccine is highlighted by the Mail.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered two respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine manufacturers to include a potentially paralytic side effect warning related to nerve damage on product labels.

The manufacturers, GSK and Pfizer, manufacturing Arexvy and Abrysvo vaccines respectively, must now include a warning stating a risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) following vaccination, according to a Jan. 7 statement from the agency.

GBS is a rare disorder in which the immune system ends up damaging nerve cells, which leads to weakness in the muscles and potential near-total paralysis, depending on severity.

RSV is a common respiratory virus that infects the throat, nose, and lungs, and typically spreads during fall and winter seasons. Infected people can experience symptoms similar to that of a common cold such as a runny nose, congestion, sneezing, and coughing.

Red light therapy may reduce deadly blood clots

red light therapy phototherapy blood clots
© Neuroscience NewsThe team observed that red light exposure is associated with less inflammation and activation of the immune system.
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.

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.
