Will DARPA Make a Travel Adapter for Human Body?
Another day, another bit of great news, folks. Everyone’s favorite agency, DARPA, is promising to develop a “travel adapter” for the human body. The travel adapter, intended for “warfighters,” is supposed to play a magical trick on biology and program the soldier’s sleep cycles at will, as well as disinfect food and water in the soldier’s belly in real time. The miracle is going to be a transient and non-genetic “implantable or ingestible bioelectronic carrier.” Certainly, nothing can go wrong, and the...
read moreThe Benefits of Curcumin in Tumor Treatments
Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published March 2, 2014. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death. What if there were a safe, natural herb that could work for nearly every type of cancer? According to Dr. William LaValley, who focuses most of his clinical work on the treatment of cancer, curcumin — a derivative of turmeric and the pigment that gives the curry spice turmeric its yellow-orange color — may fit the bill. It’s a natural compound that has been extensively researched, and has been found to...
read moreCollagen and Gelatin Are Crucial for Optimal Health
Collagen accounts for about 30% of the total protein in your body. One of its primary purposes is to provide structural support and strength to your tissues, such as skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage1,2,3 by allowing them to stretch while still maintaining tissue integrity. As such, collagen is crucial for repairing soft tissue, muscle and connective tissue. Connective tissues include tendons, ligaments, cartilage and fascia, which tend to get weaker and less elastic with age. Connective tissue injuries are also problematic since...
read moreDaily Breathing Exercises Could Reduce Heart Attack Risk
Using slow breathing methods to help you relax can lower your blood pressure, thereby reducing your risk of related heart attack, stroke and heart disease. Breathing exercises offer a non-pharmacological method for reducing high blood pressure,1 making them useful for the 1.28 billion people affected by this condition worldwide.2 Among them, about half are unaware that their blood pressure is high. This is why high blood pressure is often referred to as the “silent killer.” Often, people don’t know their blood pressure is in an...
read moreThe Wide-Ranging Health Benefits of Niacinamide
In a series of articles, biohacker Georgi Dinkov highlights a variety of benefits of niacinamide (aka nicotinamide), a form of niacin (vitamin B3) that plays a vital role in energy metabolism, as it’s essential for the mitochondrial electron transport chain to function. Without it, your mitochondria cannot make energy. Niacinamide is so important because it is a precursor for NAD+, which is involved in the conversion of food to energy, maintaining DNA integrity and ensuring proper cell function. NAD+ is also a primary fuel for sirtuins,...
read moreMore Reasons to Quit Using Any Artificial Sweeteners
Thousands of popular foods and drinks are made artificially sweet with chemical sweeteners. Long claimed to be a healthy choice because they contain no calories or sugar, evidence continues to emerge that consuming artificial sweeteners is a good way to wreck your health. It doesn’t matter if you choose aspartame (Equal), sucralose (Splenda) or another artificial sweetener. Consuming these products is putting your health at risk, so much so that even the World Health Organization warned people not to consume them. WHO Warns Against Non-Sugar...
read moreWhy Are Dangerous Chemicals Used to Give Clothes a Scent?
Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published December 12, 2018. In his first documentary film production, Jon Whelan, single dad after his wife died from breast cancer, presents overwhelming evidence that dangerous chemicals are added to products by design. As he discusses in this interview about his documentary “Stink,” available on Netflix and YouTube, fragrances and scents are a dangerous, yet purposeful addition to products you use daily. Your sense of smell is one of the most primal of your five senses. It...
read moreUnconscionable Attack Ends in Global Vindication
Sepsis, a life-threatening condition triggered by a systemic infection, causes 1 in 5 deaths globally. An estimated 11 million people, including children, die from sepsis every year.1 Fortunately, a protocol of intravenous (IV) vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) has been shown to dramatically improve chances of survival.2 Dr. Paul Marik, a critical care doctor formerly with Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in East Virginia, developed the treatment — known as the “HAT” protocol (hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid, thiamine)3 —...
read moreKilling Cows in the Name of Preventing Climate Change
The war on climate change, as currently fought, is ultimately a war on humanity itself, and the evidence for this is stacking up by the day. It began with nitrogen fertilizer restrictions1 in the summer of 2022, which alone is driving farmers out of business, and has now progressed to the needless culling of livestock — all in the name of combating climate change. But what difference will climate have if there’s no food production? Without food, humanity dies. End of story. Of course, the unspoken plan is to replace all of these banned...
read moreUK Guidelines Recommend Honey, Not Antibiotics, for Cough
Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published September 10, 2018. Given the growing concern about antibiotic resistance, it’s no surprise the U.K. Department of Health has proposed guidelines recommending the use of honey and over-the-counter (OTC) remedies as the first line of treatment for coughs. Antibiotics do little to improve colds and flu or symptoms like coughs and sore throat because they are not designed to treat viral infections. Viral infections typically run their course within a week or two....
read moreTaurine May Be Key for Longevity and Healthier Lifespan
According to research published in the June 2023 issue of the journal Science,1,2 the semi-essential amino acid taurine appears to play an important role in longevity and healthy aging. In the video above, biohacker and author Siim Land reviews these findings. Taurine3 has long been known to benefit brain4 and heart health.5 It’s also needed for healthy muscle function,6 bile salt formation7 and antioxidant defenses.8 It protects your antioxidant status by: Neutralizing hypochlorous acid, a neutrophil oxidant9 Diminishing the generation of...
read moreWhat Toxic Wildfires Can Teach Us About COPD and COVID-19
A fairly under-recognized medical problem is large numbers of people becoming ill from an air pollutant (e.g., after the recent East Palestine train derailment). One of the most common causes of this is the smoke from wildfires converging on a single area. Recently, that resulted in New York city having the worst air quality in the world. As wildfire illnesses share commonalities with spike protein injuries (e.g., many of the original COVID-19 treatment protocols were adapted from previous treatments used for those affected by wildfire...
