IBUPROFEN SHRINKS TESTICLES, LOWERS TESTOSTERONE, LINKED TO INFERTILITY

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The commonly prescribed painkiller and anti-inflammatory, ibuprofen, has been linked to shrinking testicles, lowered testosterone levels and infertility issue in a shocking study.

With plummeting testosterone levels and skyrocketing infertility levels, the revelation adds fuel to the fire, as fitness coaches and health gurus scramble to draw attention to the looming disaster.

In 2018, it was estimated that 15% of Americans take too much Ibuprofen — with the recommended daily limit being 3200mg per day. Additionally, Americans take an estimated 30 billion doses of painkillers similar to and including Ibuprofen which totals 16.5 million prescriptions.

Researchers from Denmark and France found in the paper Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that prolonged use of the commonly consumed painkiller could have some nasty side effects.

I hate this drug and believe it also harms the brain and affects mood and spiritual insight. In yogic terms, it damages our ability to access higher chakras. My comment is based on personal experience but I have seen this drug bring harm to users as clearly as I have seen alcohol bring harm. ABN

European Study Concludes COVID Jabs Cause ‘Long-Term Brain Damage’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A new pre-print paper at bioRxiv reveals that spike proteins from mRNA jabs infest the brain tissue of vaccinated people.

Researchers in Germany and Denmark evaluated brain tissue samples both in mouse models and post-mortem humans, looking for the presence and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. They looked in detail at the skull-meninges-brain axis.

Naturalnews.com reports: They found that spike protein from the shots accumulates in the skull marrow, brain meninges, and brain parenchyma, further explaining that the “injection of the spike protein alone caused cell death in the brain, highlighting a direct effect on brain tissue.”

Chelsea Clinton Spearheads “The Big Catch-Up” To Jab Every Child On Earth in 18-Months Or Less

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Warning that the world is less prepared for the next pandemic than it was prior to the spread of COVID-19, Chelsea Clinton — via the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) — along with the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation launched an initiative called “The Big Catch-up.”

“The Big Catch-up” will last 18 months and, according to Clinton, aims to become “the largest childhood immunization effort ever,” Fortune reported.

Clinton, who serves as vice chair of CHAI, last week presented the initiative at Fortune’s Brainstorm Health Conference in Marina del Rey, California.

“We need the public sector to hopefully stop doing things like stripping away public health emergency powers from state public health agencies…We’re working with WHO and The Gates Foundation and others to hopefully have the largest childhood immunization effort ever over the next 18 months to catch as many kids up as possible.”

Time required for disappearance of urate crystals from synovial fluid after successful hypouricaemic treatment relates to the duration of gout

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

In gout, reduction of Serum Uric Acid (SUA) to normal levels results in disappearance of urate crystals from synovial fluid (SF), requiring a longer time in those patients with gout of longer duration. This indicates that urate crystal deposition in joints is reversible. Normalization of SUA levels results in a decrease in the concentration of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in SF in the asymptomatic gouty joints. This may partially explain the reduced frequency of gouty attacks when a patient has been treated with SUA‐lowering drugs.

The time required for disappearance ranged from 3 to 33 months; disappearance time correlated with the duration of gout.

CHOLESTEROL, TESTOSTERONE, AND THE WAR AGAINST MASCULINITY — Dr Simon Goddek

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

There are 5 classes of steroid hormones: testosterone (androgen), estradiol (estrogen), progesterone (progestin), cortisol/corticosterone (glucocorticoids), and aldosterone (mineralocorticoid). Testosterone and its most potent metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), progesterone, and estradiol are classified as sexual steroids, while cortisol/corticosterone and aldosterone are collectively referred to as corticosteroids.

Sexual steroids are essential for the body’s development and proper functioning. They regulate sexual differentiation, the emergence of secondary sexual characteristics, sexual behavior patterns, and reproduction. The production of these steroids follows sexual dimorphism, involving differences not only in hormonal action but also in regulation and temporal patterns of production. However, they all depend on a strategic chemical substance: cholesterol.

Since cholesterol cannot be dissolved in the blood, it is “carried” through the body using a “transportation medium” called lipoprotein – which is essentially cholesterol with a protein coating. In humans, we find two types of lipoproteins doing this job: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

All steroid hormones are produced using cholesterol from a common precursor (pregnenolone) formed by the enzymatic cleavage of a 6-carbon side chain from the 27-carbon cholesterol molecule. This reaction is catalyzed by the cytochrome P450 cleavage enzyme (P450scc, CYP11A1) at the mitochondrial level.

Tissues that produce steroid hormones capture cholesterol from 4 main sources: (1) Cholesterol synthesized by the body from acetate; (2) Cholesterol harvested from HDL and LDL; (3) Cholesterol derived from the hydrolysis of cholesterol ester deposits; and (4) Cholesterol internalized by the plasma membrane.

Although the 3 main steroid-producing organs (adrenal, testicles, and ovaries) can produce cholesterol under the influence of certain hormones, the adrenals and ovaries preferentially use cholesterol captured directly from the bloodstream.

Foods, drugs, and toxins that interfere with mitochondrial function or the body’s ability to maintain good cholesterol reserves (or sustain healthy circulating cholesterol levels) will ultimately undermine your sexual hormone levels – especially testosterone.

This leads me to question to what extent the “war on cholesterol” is not just a disguise for the many faces of the notorious “war on masculinity” that has fiercely plagued the West for the past 5 decades.

LSD effective as major depression therapy in phase 2 trial

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Biopharma startup MindMed, along with collaborators at Switzerland’s University Hospital Basel and the University Hospital of Psychiatry, has announced top line data from a phase 2 trial testing LSD as a treatment for major depressive disorder. The results are encouraging.

The trial found that LSD had “significant, rapid, durable, and beneficial” effects on major depressive disorder (MDD), reducing depression symptoms compared to a control group.

“We are extremely encouraged by the results we presented today, which demonstrate the strong, rapid and enduring improvements of this compound in patients suffering from MDD,” co-primary investigator Matthias Liechti of University Hospital Basel (UHB) said in a statement.

The Big Vitamin D Mistake

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Since 2006, type 1 diabetes in Finland has plateaued and then decreased after the authorities’ decision to fortify dietary milk products with cholecalciferol. The role of vitamin D in innate and adaptive immunity is critical. A statistical error in the estimation of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D was recently discovered; in a correct analysis of the data used by the Institute of Medicine, it was found that 8895 IU/d was needed for 97.5% of individuals to achieve values ≥50 nmol/L. Another study confirmed that 6201 IU/d was needed to achieve 75 nmol/L and 9122 IU/d was needed to reach 100 nmol/L. The largest meta-analysis ever conducted of studies published between 1966 and 2013 showed that 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <75 nmol/L may be too low for safety and associated with higher all-cause mortality, demolishing the previously presumed U-shape curve of mortality associated with vitamin D levels. Since all-disease mortality is reduced to 1.0 with serum vitamin D levels ≥100 nmol/L, we call public health authorities to consider designating as the RDA at least three-fourths of the levels proposed by the Endocrine Society Expert Committee as safe upper tolerable daily intake doses. This could lead to a recommendation of 1000 IU for children <1 year on enriched formula and 1500 IU for breastfed children older than 6 months, 3000 IU for children >1 year of age, and around 8000 IU for young adults and thereafter. Actions are urgently needed to protect the global population from vitamin D deficiency.

Medical treatment today, an image and a comment

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I just spent some time in the hospital and it was good to see and deal with the medical people. All were great, conscientious, downhome, and well-trained. It is also clear the entire hospital operates under a protocol authority, which has also been trained into them. This can be very good—I was asked multiple times which side my hernia was on, the doctor asked me and checked his records and only then initialed the correct side while visually confirming it with me. They did this level of checking at every step. As a FIML practitioner, I loved it because we need much more of that interpersonally. Anyway, people who control the top of hospital protocol—and that means DOD for covid—are the main ones who committed gross moral and professional malfeasance, to put it mildly. As you go down the pyramid, we have to be more and more forgiving. Interpret that how it fits your experience. Mine was excellent. The op went great and I feel wonderful and very grateful to all of those healthcare workers. ABN

Vitamin D Reduced Dementia Risk by 40 Percent

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment
  • A study in a cohort of 12,388 persons showed that vitamin D exposure over 10 years could lower the risk of dementia by 40 percent; women in the study experienced a greater benefit than men.
  • There are 50 million people worldwide with dementia and experts estimate that number will nearly triple by 2050; vitamin D deficiency is also a widespread problem with a worldwide prevalence of up to 1 billion people.
  • Vitamin D has a neuroprotective effect, can reduce the percentage of people who move from prediabetes to diabetes and can help prevent and/or treat certain cancers, gastrointestinal diseases, uterine fibroids, lupus, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
  • There is a synergistic effect with magnesium, vitamin K2, and calcium and an imbalance may raise the risk of heart attack and stroke; the only way to determine how much sun exposure or supplementation you need is to test your vitamin D level.
