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…

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…
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 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…
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. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published the study. [2]. Twenty-three men are in the study….
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?
