This article presents two studies. The first is an animal study that shows that coffee increases the proteins associated with autophagy. The second concludes that coffee consumption correlates with skeletal muscle mass in older people. Autophagy is a normal biological process that cleans up old, dysfunctional, diseased, and precancerous cells. Intermittent fasting and physical exercise…
This article presents several human studies that show that exercise promotes autophagy independent of intermittent fasting. Autophagy is when the body recycles old, dysfunctional, precancerous, and previously damaged cells to make new proteins. After exercise, autophagy replaces damaged skeletal muscle cells during strenuous physical activity. That facilitates muscle adaptation to that exercise, whether it is…

Yahoo Finance interviewed Emergency Medicine Attending Physician Dr. Calvin Sun. He said, BA.5 is the…
This article elaborates on immune imprinting that was mentioned in Dr. Robert Malone: Highly Vaccinated Countries have more COVID-19 deaths History Davenport and Hennessy described immune imprinting in their work on antibodies against influenza in 1956. They found that vaccination produces antibodies to strains previously encountered, but antibody response to strains experienced subsequently is relatively poor….
Dr. Robert Malone presented data that showed that countries that have the highest percentage of COVID-19 vaccination have the highest number of deaths from the current Omicron subvariant BA.4 and BA.5. He showed that countries with the highest percentage of COVID-19 vaccinations, like Portugal and the US, have high COVID-19 daily confirmed deaths compared to…
