I have talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting and the resulting reversal of cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia. The past several months have shown unrelenting food price increases. This resulted from the war in Ukraine, the hyperinflationary policies of the US Federal Reserve, the culling of millions of poultry due to…

Intermittent fasting results in better COVID-19 outcomes
July 10, 2022 update. This paper is now peer-reviewed and published in the BMJ Prevention and Health. A new study showed that regular fasting people have better COVID-19 outcomes. The study was made in Utah by the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute. Mormons comprise 62% of the residents in Utah, and they observe fasting. Beliefnet…
Physical Activity Prolongs Life
I initially posted on August 15, 2020. This article is updated with more information. This article shows several studies that show that minor improvements in the level of physical activities can make a difference in life expectancy no matter what age or gender. Highlights Exercise lowers the risk of dying early from all causes. “All…
Exercise releases myokines from skeletal muscles
This article was initially published on May 16, 2019. It has been updated. What is Cytokine? Cytokines are signaling proteins. Think of cytokines as text messages from one organ to another organ. The signal may be a ‘yes,’ “no,’ ‘make some more” (positive feedback loop), or that’s enough (negative feedback loop). The signals may be…

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 (PfizerβBioNTech) 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 translationΒ 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 CancersΒ talked about the negative effect of vaccination on the immune system…
Is Luc Montagnier Correct About the Variants Showing Up After Mass Vaccination?
Luc Montagnier is a Nobel Prize-winning French virologist for his discovery of HIV. Back in May 2021, Montagnier had an interview that went viral. He warned about the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants if mass vaccination was done a pandemic. The RAIR Foundation reported the interview. Below are excerpts from the interview. How do you view…
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 studyΒ 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…
Yogurt and Intermittent Fasting Reduced Body Toxins
Daily life exposes us to toxins. As they accumulate, they eventually exert detrimental effects on the body. These poisons are everywhere. Phthalates are in plastic bottles. 2-hydroxybutyric acid or 2HIB are in gasoline additives that end as air pollution. In time, these toxins accumulate in the body fat.Β Intermittent fasting reduces body fat. However, as…
Intermittent Fasting Grows New Liver Cells Faster
A new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine presented for the first time that intermittent fasting can grow hepatocytes or new liver cells. bioRxiv released it on October 16, 2021, as a preprint. The research was able to determine the mechanism of how new liver cells form with intermittent fasting.Β Mice were used…
Myocarditis after mRNA Vaccination in the Military
In the past, myocarditis or inflammation of the heart muscles is rarely seen after vaccination.[1] Reports of myocarditis in the military prompted this study, Myocarditis Following Immunization With mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Members of the US Military.
