This article includes two case reports from a male and female and recounts the health improvements in their pelvic area after doing kettlebell exercises. Specifically, the article deals with positive changes regarding stress incontinence, vaginal dryness, hemorrhoids, and erectile dysfunction. Next, I explain how kettlebell swings improved their health. A kettlebell (KB) looks like a…
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…
Bowel obstruction is when the intestinal contents cannot pass thru a segment of the intestines. It is a surgical emergency. In bowel obstruction, the air and intestinal contents proximal to the obstruction accumulate and distend the intestines. Symptoms include obstipation, the absence of bowel movement, abdominal bloating, pain and nausea, and vomiting. Gross alert: In…
Insulin resistance is not a good thing. Insulin resistance is when the liver and skeletal muscles do not respond to insulin, forcing the pancreas to produce more insulin to lower blood sugar. The problem with high insulin or hyperinsulinemia is that other organs like the fat tissue, liver, muscle, brain, bone, kidneys, and vasculature also…
This article was first released on March 13, 2019. It is republished with new information. One concern with intermittent fasting is lean muscle may shrink. This article presents two studies that showed that lean mass or muscles are preserved with intermittent fasting. The first study showed that after eight weeks of alternate-day fasting, the muscles…
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…
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…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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. Intermittent fasting reduces body fat. However, as…
