A likely cause of Alzheimer’s disease offers a significant finding that offers potential new prevention and treatment opportunities for Australia’s second-leading cause of death. Ground-breaking new Curtin University-led research has discovered a likely cause of Alzheimer’s disease, in a significant finding that offers potential new prevention and treatment opportunities for Australia’s second-leading cause of death. The study, published in the prestigious PLOS Biology journal and tested on mouse models, identified that a probable cause of Alzheimer’s disease was the leakage from blood into the brain of fat-carrying particles transporting toxic proteins. Lead investigator Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute (CHIRI) Director...

Older American adults who are fully vaccinated are more concerned about COVID-19 than those who are unvaccinated, according to a poll released Wednesday by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll found that about 25 percent of vaccinated adults aged 50 and older said they are not worried about either them or a family member becoming infected with COVID-19. In comparison, 61 percent of unvaccinated Americans aged 50 and older said they aren’t worried. “Vaccination is not providing people with relief,” AP-NORC said. “Those who are vaccinated are more worried about infection from the...

Nearly 50k Medicare patients died soon after getting COVID shot: whistleblower‘They are lying. There is no question they are lying,’ said Attorney Renz. ‘The mantra of ‘safe and effective' must stop after today’s information.’ A whistleblower has provided government data documenting 48,465 deaths within 14 days of COVID-19 vaccination among Medicare patients alone, according to medical freedom rights attorney Thomas Renz. The announcement Saturday was made by the Ohio-based attorney, who remains involved in several major cases brought against federal agencies relating to fraud and violations of medical freedom rights. In his presentation, Renz expressed his appreciation for whistleblowers who...

Whether it be treatments or interventions, the plethora of seemingly similar quality research supporting contradictory positions, and the use of digital echo chambers, facilitates widespread confirmation bias - evidence supporting any initial position can be easily found. Self-serving bias and cognitive dissonance further make it challenging to alter positions, especially for those taking very public and strong positions with serious implications. We felt that attempts to organize and make the research and data easier to navigate, highlighting areas of applicability, and analyzing limitations, could potentially be beneficial.

Intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding in general limit food, but not overall caloric intake, to specific hours of the day. (In contrast, dietary restriction, which also has been shown to increase longevity, reduces caloric intake.) "Because intermittent fasting restricts the timing of eating, it's been hypothesized that natural biological clocks play a role," says Mimi Shirasu-Hiza, Ph.D. The researchers put their flies on one of four different schedules: 24-hour unrestricted access to food, 12-hour daytime access to food, 24-hour fasting following by 24-hour unrestricted feeding, or what the researchers called intermittent time-restricted fasting or iTRF (20 hours of fasting followed...

Worms don't wiggle when they have Alzheimer's disease. Yet something helped worms with the disease hold onto their wiggle in Professor Jessica Tanis's lab. While all the worms were grown on a diet of E. coli, it turns out that one strain of E. coli had higher levels of vitamin B12 than the other. "The worms we use all have exactly the same genetic background, they react to amyloid beta like humans do, and we can exactly control what they eat, so we can really get down to the molecular mechanisms at work." In the brains of humans with Alzheimer's,...

This young man is wise well beyond his years. In his excellent video, he makes the point we are farther down the road than we realize, and those who seek to rule us genuinely and openly believe we lack souls and freewill, and it's time for them to take over. He describes ways which many have gotten past or around tyranny are being eliminated and technology is taking over. He ends with an inspiring call to decide whether to fight for your soul, and free will, and to resist the 'Beast System' that is currently underway."No Soul, No Free Will."...

Abstract Background: The lung cancer incidence in Chinese women is among the highest in the world, but tobacco smoking accounts for only a minority of the cancers. Epidemiologic investigations of lung cancer among Chinese women have implicated exposure to indoor air pollution from wok cooking, where the volatile emissions from unrefined cooking oils are mutagenic. Purpose: This study was conducted to identify and quantify the potentially mutagenic substances emitted from a variety of cooking oils heated to the temperatures typically used in wok cooking. Methods: Several cooking oils and fatty acids were heated in a wok to boiling, at temperatures...

In a new study from the University of Kent, researchers found a protein that may critically contribute to severe forms of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 is the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. While many individuals develop only mild or no symptoms upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, others develop severe, life-threatening disease. Researchers have found that the infection of cells with SARS-CoV-2 results in increased levels of a protein called CD47 on the cell surface. CD47 is a so-called ‘do not eat me’ signal to the immune system’s defenses that protect cells from being destroyed. Virus-induced CD47 on the surface of infected cells is likely to...

Our violent, blood-soaked culture has produced a violent, blood-soaked reality in our streets. The final numbers for 2020 have finally been released by the FBI, and they are stunning. Prior to last year, the largest one year increase in the murder rate in the United States was 12.7 percent, and that came all the way back in 1968. Needless to say, many of you that are reading this article were not even alive in 1968. Well, we didn't just break the old record last year. We more than doubled it. According to the FBI's annual report on crime, the nationwide...

[H/T grey_whiskers]... in a not-so-tiny nation called Spain, a nursing home had a nasty virus get into it.It was March of 2020. The nasty virus was called Covid-19. And this nursing home, like so many others all over the world, was full of elderly, morbid people. The mean age of residents was 85 and 48% were over 80 years old. It was a killing field, like so many others.....Within three months 100% of the residents had caught the virus. Not presumed to have -- proved to have.How do we know this? Because almost every one of them seroconverted. All but...

Violent, secretive, spiritual and packed full of knowledge, an obscure and mysterious manuscript called the Fight Book has been discovered in Denmark. During a time where we think of knights and horses, the book depicts a more bloody side of Europe in the Middle Ages. Through historical re-creations, CGI and with the help of some leading historians, we reveal the surprising detail that proves medieval society was far more peculiar than we realize.The Secret Fight Master Of The Middle Ages | Medieval Fight Book | Chronicle | August 28, 2021 | Chronicle - Medieval History Documentaries

A Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting to discuss Pfizer-BioNTech’s supplemental Biologics License Application for administration of a third dose, or “booster” dose, of the COVID-19 vaccine, Comirnaty, in individuals 16 years of age and older.

When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Aug. 23 it had granted full approval to the first Covid “vaccine” under the brand name Comirnaty, the mainstream media immediately ran with the narrative. Joe Biden jumped in front of a microphone and told businesses they needed to “step up” the mandating of vaccines for their employees. Dr. Anthony Fauci told national media outlets he expected a whole host of new “mandates” to be fueled by the “approval” of the Pfizer jab. There’s only one problem. The “approval” given by the FDA was not for the Pfizer jab currently available in...

A recent study shows that low BMI and malnutrition are risk factors for in-hospital mortality in geriatric COVID-19 patients. These results are important as information on the groups with the highest mortality, i.e. the very old and frail patients, is underrepresented. For example, obesity is a risk factor in COVID-19 infection in younger adults but we instead found that low BMI and malnutrition increased the risk of in-hospital mortality in geriatric COVID-19 patients who were mostly older than 75 years. During the first COVID-19 wave in the spring 2020 in Sweden, researchers reported that in-hospital mortality was 24% among older...

New research amongst the world's biggest consumers of dairy foods has shown that those with higher intakes of dairy fat—measured by fatty acids in the blood—had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those with low intakes. Higher intakes of dairy fat were not associated with an increased risk of death. "Instead, we measured blood levels of certain fatty acids, or fat 'building blocks' that are found in dairy foods, which gives a more objective measure of dairy fat intake that doesn't rely on memory or the quality of food databases," he added. "We found those with the highest...

Political pundit and former co-host of ABC's "The View" Meghan McCain is arguing President Biden has failed to make good on a campaign promise to unite the country at a time of escalating partisan division nationwide. Referencing Biden's repeated vows along the campaign trail last year to "heal the soul of America," McCain, a conservative Republican, blasted the commander-in-chief. "No one is healing. Nothing is healed," she wrote in her debut column for DailyMail.com published on Tuesday. "The wound Donald Trump ripped open has done nothing but fester since Scranton Joe was inaugurated."

Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Treatment with monoclonal antibodies reduced the need for hospital care in adults at high risk for serious illness from COVID-19, a study published Tuesday by JAMA Network Open found. Just over 17% of high-risk Native Americans given the treatment based on laboratory-created antibodies, or immune proteins that fight off infections, within days of testing positive for the virus were admitted to the hospital, the data showed. However, 43% of patients in the study who did not receive monoclonal antibodies required hospital treatment. In addition, more than 4% of the untreated patients were admitted to a hospital...

It does not take 27 pages to allege a "false statement" charge -- but it does if you are alleging a conspiracy to create false documents to influence a federal investigation. What to make of the indictment by Special Counsel John Durham of former Clinton Campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, a one-time partner in the go-to-for-all-legal-needs Democrat Party law firm of Perkins Coie? Typically, a “false statement” indictment will consist of a brief description of how the federal investigators came to ask the question, the answer given by the defendant which is alleged to be false, and what a truthful answer...
