Could a Molecule From Oranges Help Fight Obesity?
Obesity is a condition defined by a marked accumulation of excess fat. Fat that grows just below the skin, called subcutaneous fat, is the kind that jiggles and wiggles. A second type can accumulate around your internal organs; this is called visceral fat. Both can trigger health problems ranging from numerous types of chronic disease to potentially life-threatening conditions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates your risk of 13 types of cancer increase when you are overweight or obese. These account for about 40% of all...

read moreLicorice Inhibits Replication of Coronavirus
During the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing and hygiene seem to be having some effect on “flattening the curve” and slowing the spread of the virus. The use of ultraviolet (UV) light to decontaminate medical facilities, proper hand-washing and disinfectants, equipment and even protective facemasks also seems to be useful. But people will still contract COVID-19, and effective treatments are lacking and needed. That’s why some scientific studies are looking at a natural product that has long been known to have antiviral...

“Mechanical ventilation is the main supportive treatment for critically ill patients” infected with novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), according to a February 2020 study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.1 But severe shortages of these life-saving machines have become a common concern echoed by hospitals across the U.S., with medical professionals and government officials alike calling for increased production of this critical resource.

read moreCan You Clean Coronavirus Off Your Food?
Since the COVID-19 outbreak began, I’ve covered advice for how to effectively clean your hands and disinfect surfaces around your home, but what about food, like takeout and fresh produce? Could eating contaminated food cause you to contract the illness? According to News Channel 8,1 Virginia police are “warning of a ‘disturbing trend’ after a group of teens were caught on camera coughing on produce at a grocery store, then posting it on social media.” Shenanigans like this appears to be behind some of the fears...
read moreMajor Error Found in Vaccine Aluminum Safety Calculation
When evaluating the safety of vaccines, adjuvants must be taken into account. The most commonly used vaccine adjuvant is aluminum,1 a demonstrated neurotoxin that is added to certain vaccines to increase your immune response and, with that, theoretically a higher response of protective antibodies. Despite aluminum’s known health risks, it’s widely suggested that aluminum in vaccines is safe, including for newborn babies, but a math error in a key U.S. Food and Drug Administration study2 — revealed by scientists at Physicians...
read moreVitamins C and D Finally Adopted as Coronavirus Treatment
Remember last year when Washington Post reporters were boldly declaring that vitamins C and D could not (and should not) be used against respiratory infections? The information I was sharing about their use was deemed so dangerous to public health that I was branded as a “fake news” site by self-appointed, pharma-owned arbiters of truth like NewsGuard. How times have changed. After having defamatory lies published about me, vitamins C and D are now (finally) being adopted in the conventional treatment of novel coronavirus,...

read moreWill the Coming Warm Weather Reduce the Spread of COVID-19?
For everything there is a season, and that includes viruses. Whether it’s the common cold or flu viruses, in the U.S. the season begins in fall. By December, the viral spread is in full swing until it peaks in February. However, it’s different in the southern hemisphere where Africa, Australia and Brazil are approaching winter as the U.S. and most of Europe are sliding into spring and summer. For an understanding of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) currently spreading across the world, it helps to have some background on the virus...
read moreVitamin B1 Is Vital to Protect Against Infectious Disease
While a limited number of drugs have been enlisted in the treatment of severe coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection, a number of nutritional supplements have risen to the forefront for their apparent usefulness. In addition to quercetin, zinc and vitamins C and D, vitamin B1 (thiamine) may be vital to protect against infectious respiratory illness. Thiamine is also part of Dr. Paul Marik’s sepsis treatment, which calls for 1,500 milligrams (mg) of intravenous ascorbic acid every six hours, 200 mg of thiamine every 12 hours and 50...
