This article presents three studies showing intermittent fasting could improve endothelial function. The endothelium is the inner lining of the blood vessels, and the cells in it do a full-time job of keeping it smooth, distensible, and open to maintain adequate organ perfusion, and lower blood pressure, resulting in less work for the heart. The…

Yesterday, I published The Carcinogenic Effects of the SARS-CoV-2. I discussed the papers that showed how the SARS-CoV-2 virus could cause cancer. The COVID-19 virus can cause changes in the infected cell’s machinery to use the glycolytic pathway and produce the Warburg effect. The Warburg effect is when cancer cells consume sugar (glucose) for energy. One…
This article features a study that shows how linoleic acid from intermittent fasting can reduce the chances of getting COVID-19. Background The SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 attaches to human cells using its spike proteins. After attachment, the viruses enter the cells and start replicating. The SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins can be in the open…

Research from the Intermountain Heart Institute in Salt Lake, Utah, showed that subjects who fasted once a month consistently for an average of 40 years had a lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality at 11% compared to 28.8% of non-fasters.[1] Intermittent fasting decreases COVID-19 risks in all ages regardless of race or ethnicity, cardiac…
Post-COVID vaccine syndrome is a constellation of adverse events after the COVID-19 vaccination. These adverse events commonly include myocarditis, strokes, and sudden deaths. The underlying causes are clot formation, autoimmunity, and exuberant inflammation due to the toxic spike protein made by the body after getting the mRNA shots (Pfizer and Moderna). In this article, I…
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…
