A new study from the University of Gothenburg has revealed that Sweden’s Viking Age population suffered from severe oral and maxillofacial diseases, sinus and ear infections, osteoarthritis, and other ailments. Researchers used modern X-ray techniques to examine Viking skulls, uncovering a range of health issues that would have significantly impacted daily life.
This study builds on previous research that examined a large number of teeth from the Viking Age population of Varnhem, a site in Sweden’s Västergötland province known for its extensive burial grounds and well-preserved skeletons. Now, odontologists at the University of Gothenburg have expanded the research by analyzing entire skulls using computed tomography (CT) scans.
Signs of Chronic Illness and Infections
The findings, published in British Dental Journal Open, suggest that the fifteen individuals whose skulls were examined had suffered from a wide range of diseases. The CT scans revealed pathological bone growths in the cranium and jawbone, indicating infections and other conditions. Some individuals showed evidence of chronic sinus or ear infections, which left visible traces in the surrounding bone structures. Osteoarthritis and various dental diseases were also common. All of the skulls examined belonged to adults who died between the ages of 20 and 60.
Robert F Kennedy Jr has pulled promotional ads for vaccines and postponed a meeting of key vaccine advisors, in one of his first moves as health secretary.
Kennedy ordered the CDC to scrub its digital ‘Wild to Mild’ flu vaccine campaign that juxtaposed a lion next to a kitten as an analogy for how the shot ‘tames’ the virus.
But Kennedy wants the CDC to move away from nudge tactics and focus its vaccine communications on ‘informed consent’ – which involves telling the patient the medical risks and benefits and letting them come to their own decision.
Meanwhile, the year’s first meeting of the CDC’s influential panel of vaccine experts has been delayed indefinitely, marking the first time the meeting has been postponed in over 40 years, except for during the emergency Covid pandemic.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was due to meet next week to discuss its recommendations on shots for Covid, meningococcal virus, influenza, RSV, HPV, and monkeypox.
The orders, which come at the tail-end of Kennedy’s first week as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, have sparked worry among some health professionals.
For years, thousands of Americans who suffered debilitating side effects after getting the Covid vaccine were told there was no evidence the shot was linked.
Some were branded antivaxxers, others told their symptoms were imagined or related to other conditions, like long Covid.
On Wednesday, a team from Yale University known for their rigorous work revealed the mRNA shots can cause a previously unknown condition known as ‘post-vaccination syndrome.’
The syndrome appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, extreme fatigue and biological changes to patients’ immune systems.
Dr Akiko Iwasaki, the lead researcher behind the paper, told DailyMail.com she understands her findings could be seen as controversial. But she wants patients to know her team will keep studying to bring them ‘better transparency and safer vaccines.’
Dr Iwasaki told this website: ‘For patients who are suffering from post-vaccination syndrome, we want them to know that we see you, we listen, and we will keep on doing more research in this area so that this condition can be recognized, and better medical care can be provided.’
Readers of this site knew before the vaxxes even came out that they were going to be dubious at best. There were many warnings and as they were introduced to the public, there was zero evidence the vaxxes were ‘safe and effective’. Since early 2021, after full rollout, we have provided many posts detailing the dangers and side effects of the covid vaxxes. There is good evidence as many as 17 million people worldwide died due to the covid vaxxes. Given their reproductive harm and official insistence that children and young adults get the vaxxes, it appears likely they are actually bioweapons directed, principally, against Western civilization; yet another vector of unrestricted warfare against the West.

Last year, I learned of a Yale study which had discovered the COVID vaccine persisted in the body and caused long term immunological impairments—something I believe relates to the egregious production process that characterized the COVID-19 vaccines.
Since I did not want to interfere with the publication process, I held off from disclosing anything within the study which had not already been leaked by someone else. Today the study was pre-published, so I can now discuss what they found (in a heavily revised version of the previous article). The first half of this article provides the context for that study, while the second half discusses it (e.g., that the vaccine spike protein can persist in the body for at least 709 days and cause at least two years of chronic immunological suppression and autoimmunity that directly correlate to the presence of chronic illnesses).
Note: as this study was conducted by a team of immunologists, they primarily focused on immunologic changes (and as a result many of the other chronic consequences of vaccination were not discussed). Additionally, it should be noted that they originally strongly endorsed the vaccination (both to prevent COVID and to treat long COVID—which is often disastrous) and came from a very pro-vaccine institution. As such, the fact they were willing to change their stance on this should be acknowledged (and indicates a lot of work went into verifying the accuracy of their data).
SEATTLE — Sound Pharmaceuticals is pleased to announce that the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial involving SPI-1005, a novel anti-inflammatory compound (ebselen), for the treatment of Meniere’s Disease (STOPMD-3), achieved its co-primary endpoints for efficacy involving improvements in hearing loss and speech discrimination.
Meniere’s disease (MD) is an inner ear disorder that involves fluctuating hearing loss and tinnitus, and episodic vertigo and/or dizziness. There are no FDA-approved medical treatments for MD, nor for the treatment of hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, or dizziness. SPI-1005 is an oral capsule containing 200 mg ebselen that has shown safety and efficacy in several Phase 2 clinical trials involving multiple hearing loss and tinnitus indications including MD.
Covid vaccines could be suspended for all age groups in America under new plans backed by key health figures in the Trump Administration.
Several experts poised for top jobs in US health agencies subscribe to the idea the shots are causing widespread side effects and deaths.
Dr Jay Bhattacharya, who has been nominated to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has backed a petition calling for the mRNA vaccines to be paused and retested, DailyMail.com can reveal.
He is one of the signatories of the Hope Accord, which claims there is a ‘causal link’ between the mRNA shots and an alarming rise in excess deaths worldwide.
DailyMail.com also understands Robert F Kennedy Jr has privately expressed concerns about the vaccines and signaled he is open to axing them if the data supports it.
This is good news. The covid vax is dangerous and was either a huge mistake or, much more probably, a deliberate bioweapon attack on USA and Western countries in particular. Based on the simplest medical logic —first do no harm—covid vaxxes should be withdrawn immediately since they have never been shown to be safe. There are many posts on this site showing clear evidence the vaxxes do a great deal of harm and have already killed as many as 17 million people worldwide. ABN
Psilocybin has overlapping mechanisms with Fenbendazole, Ivermectin, and Cannabinoids in p53 activation, immune modulation, metabolic disruption, and possibly cytoskeletal remodeling. While direct microtubule inhibition is uncertain, serotonin signaling, apoptosis, and immune regulation suggest a potential role in cancer therapy.
Conducted by researchers from Qingdao University, the study highlights the impact of cannabinoids on neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and neurogenesis.
According to the study, cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) mediate these functions through several inflammatory pathways, including nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase B (Akt), and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). A key focus of the research is microglia, the primary immune cells in the CNS responsible for mediating neuroinflammation. By influencing these pathways, cannabinoids may help regulate immune responses and cellular health in the brain.
The study also presents a table summarizing the role of cannabinoids in various brain diseases, emphasizing their protective effects in neurological conditions. The authors propose that cannabinoids could be useful in preventing and treating disorders related to ferroptosis, lactate metabolism, and mitophagy—three biological processes associated with neurodegeneration.
The study concludes:
Medical use of cannabinoids has protective effects in preventing and treating brain diseases; however, excessive and repeated use can be detrimental to the CNS. We propose that cannabinoids hold significant potential for preventing and treating brain diseases, including ferroptosis, lactate metabolism, and mitophagy, providing new insights for further research on cannabinoids.
From what I have been reading over the years, these findings are corroborated by many other researchers. The main takeaway I see is very low dose usage of cannabinoids is beneficial but high doses are not. If cannabis is keeping you away from alcohol or other worse drugs, it would be a good thing. Cannabis does seem to help prevent alcoholism, which is one of the worst addictions. The Buddha strongly advised against the ‘irresponsible use of alcohol’ by laypeople. It’s the fifth precept of the Five Precepts of Buddhism. It is telling that the Buddha did not mention other intoxicants, only alcohol. I say this because too many today interpret the fifth precept as being against all kinds of intoxicants when only alcohol is denoted. Obviously, many other intoxicants are not good either, but I do see plenty of room for judicious use of some psychedelics and/or cannabis for some people sometimes. Both of these drugs were well-known in the Buddha’s day and he would have mentioned them if he had wanted to. ABN
Researchers have uncovered a new way that cells control their genes — and it may rewrite our understanding of “epigenetics.”
Epigenetics is a form of DNA modification that doesn’t affect the DNA sequence itself. Instead, it describes when chemical groups attach to specific genes, thus switching those genes on or off, or else changing the 3D shape of chromosomes.
Now, in a study published Jan. 17 in the journal Cell, researchers have uncovered a whole new method of gene regulation that involves epigenetic tweaks made to both DNA and its molecular cousin RNA, at the same time.
This discovery challenges the established view that these RNA- and DNA-modifying processes are completely separate, and it suggests that it may have broader implications in human biology and disease. To that end, Fuks and his team are trying to determine how this new mechanism relates to cancer.
Since retiring a few years back, I’ve kept myself busy by working as a night attendant for a large retirement facility in the mid-West. The two main advantages of the job are that I get to meet some wonderful people as well as walk about seven miles each night which helps to keep me in generally good shape. Hearing the life stories of folks who have been on earth for the past eighty or ninety years and the insight they’ve learned has, at times, been fascinating and I’ve enjoyed it immensely.
Over the past few years, however, I’ve discovered many truths about our corrupt and broken Heathcare system, including just how badly uninformed enormous numbers of elderly people are about nutrition and the medical industrial complex that has largely taken over their lives.
The following are my observations and opinions based on numerous conversations with elderly residents. I don’t claim to be novel or innovative in my criticism of the contemporary Healthcare system. Nothing I’ve written here hasn’t also been said or written by someone else in some form. But this doesn’t make it any less true, and I hope some will be encouraged to rethink their opinion of doctors and the corrupt medical system that we’ve been subjected to.
The first thing I’ve learned is just how naively trusting the elderly are of their doctors. They really do view them as their ‘savior,’ almost godlike in a sense. To think their primary care physician may have ulterior motives other than the improvement of their personal health would come as a shock to a good many of them.
