Secrets of the Ice Man: Voluntary control of adrenaline and the effect on the immune system
Wim Hof is a man with extraordinary abilities. In a GQ article that featured the Ice Man, Wim Hof “holds 20 world records ranging from the world’s longest ice bath – 1 hour and 52 minutes and 42 seconds – to his successful attempt to scale Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts, shoes, and a…
Anti-Idiotype Antibodies against Spike Proteins may Explain Myocarditis
An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine proposed a mechanism for myocarditis after COVID-19 or COVID vaccination. Here is how it happens. During COVID-19 infection or after COVID vaccination, antibodies develop. Anti-spike protein antibodies bind to the spike proteins of the SARS-CoV-2. The antibodies prevent the virus from attaching to the ACE2…
Donor Blood Can Have Spike Protein Exosomes
The Journal of Immunology published a significant study that lives up to its name. Cutting Edge: Circulating Exosomes with COVID Spike Protein Are Induced by BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) Vaccination prior to Development of Antibodies: A Novel Mechanism for Immune Activation by mRNA Vaccines The study found that people vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine have exosomes carrying…
Degradation of Graphene in the Human Body
Observations of COVID-19 Vaccine Contamination A study was published sometime in July that showed that graphene is present in a Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine. The entire research was translated algorithmically and presented at the Spanish study’s Whole English translation showing 99% Graphene Oxide in the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. So far, no published studies have confirmed their findings,…
Exercise Can Stop Tumor Growth
This article is about one effect of exercise on the immune system to stop tumor growth. Cancer prevention is always relevant but more so presently. A recent study discussed in Study: SARS-CoV-2 Spike Proteins Impaired DNA Repair That Can Lead to Defective Immunity and Cancers talked about the negative effect of vaccination on the immune system…
Study Shows Decreased Antibody Response to Breakthrough Infections
If a person had COVID-19, then got vaccinated and then a breakthrough infection. His antibodies will be positive after the breakthrough infection. How will we know if the antibodies are from the disease or vaccination? That’s the study’s objective from the Department of Medicine of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The study Anti-membrane and…
SARS-CoV-2 in White-Tailed Deer and Other Animals
A preprint article, SARS-CoV-2 infection in free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), published two days ago, describes SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer in Ohio. The authors from the Ohio State University, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and the National Institute of Health found 129 free-ranging white-tailed deer from Northeast Ohio to have SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR in nasal swabs. The…
What Happens to Patients, Doctors and Big Pharma in Adverse Drug Reactions?
Have you ever wondered why some drugs or vaccines that pass FDA approval turn out to have severe adverse effects that they have to be withdrawn from the market? Most of you probably know that medications undergo clinical trials for years before they are released. During that time, the positive and adverse effects are both…
Who among the Vaccinated are At Risk of Dying if they get COVID-19?
Risk prediction of Covid-19 related Death and Hospital Admission in Adults after Covid-19 vaccination: national prospective cohort is a study published in the British Medical Journal on September 17, 2021 What is the use of the study? The study is about how the authors developed, used, and verified the QCovid3 algorithm to determine who among…
CDC reports an increase in Childhood Obesity during the Pandemic
The CDC reported an increase in childhood obesity in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Longitudinal Trends in Body Mass Index Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among Persons Aged 2–19 Years — United States, 2018–2020. Among a cohort of 432,302 persons aged 2–19 years, the rate of body mass index (BMI) increase approximately doubled…
Know the Signs of Vaccine Induced Blood Clotting
The UK National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published guidelines for diagnosing and treating vaccine-related bleeding and blood clotting disorders. You can find the guideline at COVID-19 rapid guideline: The vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT). The most useful information for the general public about this guideline is recognizing the early signs…
The effects of kettlebell exercises for women 65 and older
A kettlebell is like a cannonball with handles. It has a long history as exercise equipment. Kettlebells are relatively inexpensive, do not need much space, and can be done at home. All muscles of the body are involved during a kettlebell swing. That’s why kettlebells are time and space-efficient. The journal Experimental Gerontology has…
Study: Most antibodies produced by mRNA vaccines are Non-neutralizing
Addendum October 15, 2021: A study from Osaka Japan showed that non-neutralizing antibodies produced from COVID vaccination enhance infection with the Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 rather than protect. You can read it at: https://drjessesantiano.com/delta-variant-poised-to-be-totally-resistant-to-the-current-covid-vaccines/ Original areticle follows. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, and the Washington University School of Medicine,…
Who develops a better Immunity against SARS-CoV-2? The vaccinated or the previously infected?
This question was answered in a preprint study that is not yet peer-reveiwed. It was just published August 25, 2021, Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections In the study, Israel’s second-largest Health Maintenance Organization, the Maccabi HealthCcare Services. (MHS) was used. Israel is one of the first countries who have…
The OpenVAERS – website for COVID-19 vaccine adverse reactions
This page was updated on Jan. 8, 2022 The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is the most common way to file adverse reactions, including deaths after vaccination. The public can also access the data in the VAERS system. Either way, entering and reading the data has a steep learning curve. If you go to the…
Aerobic exercise, Telomere Length and COVID-19
Telomeres are at the terminal ends of the DNA. Telomeres function to protect the ends of the DNA. As people get older, the telomeres shorten. Once the telomeres get too short, the cells do not divide anymore, and no new cells are formed. Short telomeres are associated with chronic diseases and ineffective immune responses. Both…
Where to order a freeze dried SARS-CoV-2
There are many talks on the internet that the SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated, and thus it is fake I happen to click on The European Virus Archive Global website, and they sell freeze-dried SARS-CoV-2 with the complete genome sequence to academics only. The viruses are cultivable and infectious. It is not recombinant. Here is…
6 Ways to Lower Your Dementia Risk
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s dementia. Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s disease are associated with the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain. Beta-amyloid and tau proteins in Alzheimer’s dementia, alpha-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease, and Lewy Body dementia disease can accumulate in the brain and later affect brain function because of their toxic functions. Alzheimer’s disease…
