Alcohol causes liver (and other organ) damage by lowering NAD/NADH ratio

by

A neat little study, which demonstrates once again the crucial role of energy and optimal redox status in a public health issue that has now reached catastrophic proportions. Namely, alcohol-related morbidity and mortality. Those have always been an issue in any developed country but since the start of the “pandemic” have exacerbated dramatically. As most … Read more Alcohol causes liver (and other organ) damage by lowering NAD/NADH ratio

Asthma can be caused by endotoxin (LPS)…from air filters

by

Not a clickbait title but the actual (and fascinating) findings of several studies. I think the biggest find here is that endotoxin (LPS) can directly cause asthma and exacerbate already existing asthma. To my knowledge, while mainstream medicine does admit that asthma is an inflammatory condition, it continues to insist that the direct cause is … Read more Asthma can be caused by endotoxin (LPS)…from air filters

Netherlands Approves Euthanasia Of Children / Babies

by

I am posting this simply as an example of just how insane the world is rapidly becoming. Considering doctors around the world have had no problem giving morphine to terminally ill patients until they expire on their own, I really don’t see what good the explicit permission to euthanize children of ANY age does to … Read more Netherlands Approves Euthanasia Of Children / Babies

Keto diet can cause lethal kidney failure

by

The bad news for the low-carb diets just keep piling on. This case report is about a young and (presumably) healthy Indian actress, which quickly deteriorated and eventually died of kidney failure while subjecting herself to the keto diet. Before the hate mail starts pouring into my mailbox, please read the article as it explains … Read more Keto diet can cause lethal kidney failure

Obesity “paradox” strikes again – protection against COVID-19

by

I suspect this one will not go down will with the “lean is always good” crowd, which consists predominantly of members of the medical profession. Aside from all the health risks of obesity for pretty much any chronic disease, the news over the last 6 months have been replete with warning from all kinds of … Read more Obesity “paradox” strikes again – protection against COVID-19

We Learn Faster When Our Choices Aren’t Forced / Influenced

by

One of the most popular quotes by Peat states that “The attempt to steer a person can make it hard for them to move, because it inactivates their own guidance system“. While he said it in the context of authoritarian systems designed to force/elicit specific actions from people, I have long suspected that such inactivation … Read more We Learn Faster When Our Choices Aren’t Forced / Influenced

Estrogen may be the cause of “estrogen-negative” breast cancer

by

IMO, one of the biggest medical frauds so far is the idea that androgens (especially DHT) cause and promote prostate cancer. We now have an abundance of evidence (posted on this blog) that it is instead deficiency of androgens and/or excess of estrogens that initiates and drives the progression of prostate cancer. When chemical castration … Read more Estrogen may be the cause of “estrogen-negative” breast cancer

Intermittent fasting (IF) ineffective and may even be dangerous

by

I have no doubt the findings of this study will quickly get dismissed by the massive industry that has formed around the idea that ANY weight loss is a good thing, and, just as importantly, if you lose weight while torturing yourself (in this with fasting) somehow the “gains” are even more worthwhile. Well, the … Read more Intermittent fasting (IF) ineffective and may even be dangerous

Melanoma defined by increased fatty acid synthesis and unsaturation

by

Yet another study implicating dysregulated fatty acid, instead of glucose, metabolism in cancer cells. Namely, the expression and activity of the enzyme fatty acid synthase (FASN) is increased in melanoma cells. Another interesting finding of the study is the increased unsaturation of the accumulated fats inside the tumor. The FASN enzyme synthesizes palmitic acid (PA) … Read more Melanoma defined by increased fatty acid synthesis and unsaturation

Drop in mom’s thyroid levels, undetectable by blood tests, tanks child IQ

by

I am posting this article mostly for the specific quote corroborating Peat’s writing that thyroid blood tests are very unreliable and always have to be interpreted together with other “biomarkers” of thyroid function such as pulse, core temperature, muscle tone, reflexes, etc before a comprehensive diagnosis can be made. In fact, the article says even … Read more Drop in mom’s thyroid levels, undetectable by blood tests, tanks child IQ
