I personally am not an absolutist on abortion. Ultimately it is the woman’s decision and we must have compassion for anyone making this decision. I do not believe abortion should be taken lightly or celebrated. Fathers should have a say, but, again, ultimately it is the woman who bears the child. As of today, I support IVF with full realization that many small embryos are killed with this procedure. I can also see a day when selective IVF coupled with gene manipulations and stem cell derived gametes will lead to a much healthier and more intelligent human race. When the many choices involved in IVF today and in future are left entirely in the hands of would-be parents, I see more benefit than harm. That said, I remain open on all facets of these questions and am willing to change my views if convinced otherwise. ABN
In a previous article I showed why, when used alone, thyroid hormone replacement often fails. In this post I’ll explain why optimizing your iodine intake is so crucial, and why both too little and too much iodine can be harmful.
Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide. Once researchers realized this, health authorities around the world began adding iodine to table salt.
This strategy was effective in correcting iodine deficiency. But it had an unanticipated—and undesired—effect. In countries where iodine has been added to table salt, the rates of autoimmune thyroid disease have risen. The following is just a sample of studies around the world demonstrating this effect:
Why does this happen? Because increased iodine intake, especially in supplement form, can increase the autoimmune attack on the thyroid. Iodine reduces the activity of an enzyme called thyroid peroxidase (TPO). TPO is required for proper thyroid hormone production.
On the other hand, restricting intake of iodine can reverse hypothyroidism. In one study, 78% of patients with Hashimoto’s regained normal thyroid function with iodine restriction alone.
I’m a 31F mental health therapist specializing in asian american suicide. I’m about to present to my state’s suicide council to advocate for more awareness into the tiger parenting dynamic that causes suicide as someone who attempted when I was 16. I’m currently trying to gather research from the heads of my field (the American Psychological Association) and i. am. pissed. Every research article published by Asian American psychologists says the root cause of AA mental health is… racism by white people. They talk about white people causing the model minority pressure. WTF?! That pressure doesn’t come from THEM! It comes from our parents!
Yes we experience racism. But that is not the core of our issues as Asian American kids. Also mind you, when I was in school for my BA degree in psych (2011-2015) the research papers and articles I had to study in school NEVER used the asian demographic in their studies! it was always blacks and latinos! and now that we have representation its fucking skewed and not representative of what we actually go through. it was so invalidating and infuriating to read.
This is ripple effect of what happened in 2011 when Amy Chua came out with her book and outted the concept of tiger parenting. For the first time someone named what we were all going through. And we had something out there we can grab hold of and DO something about it.
But what did the Asian American community do instead?
They. rejected. it. They did the whole NoT eVeRy AsIAn. They made it a SIN to talk about the very real shit that is posted on here every single day. They hid our struggles because the optics looked so bad. They did the exact problem that’s causing problems in our community: shut up and keep quiet. I couldn’t fucking believe the backlash. I and so many other Asian American kids tried killing ourselves because of this tiger parenting shit. I’m a fucking therapist specializing in suicide for Asian Americans because no therapist in my 20 years of trying to get help for this problem know what the fuck to do.
I’m so livid. I’m out here specializing in AA suicide, about to talk to my state council and trying to find facts and research to justify more money into the nuances of asian american mental health and our own people are hurting us.
Just had to rant and get it off my chest. Now off work on my presentation and do better than these wimps.
Yesterday, someone shared your Twitter post with me. I have also read some of the responses to it. I imagine yesterday was a very difficult day for you, especially given the concerns for your mother.
I find it hard to imagine what it must be like to spend four years deep in one belief system and then suddenly, and horribly, have your eyes open to the fact that you may have been deceived.
I will take you through the scientific evidence for why what happened to your mother was related to her covid vaccines and not to “asymptomatic covid”. You said you only want peer reviewed evidence so you can check funding sources etc. Let me reassure you that funding concerns are all in one direction through pharma sponsorship (see editors of NEJM and Lancet) and no money comes to those who are raising concerns.
I am not sure how accurate this chart is but it is probably decent ballpark. I also do not know what kind of fast it refers to. I typically drink some juice, organic beet seems best, but many people do only water. If you do fast, be sure to break it slowly and carefully with mild healthy foods you are well used to. ABN
Scientists in Japan have issued a chilling warning after uncovering direct links between Covid mRNA “vaccines” and “shocking” surges in dozens of deadly diseases.
Japanese researchers have issued a red alert to warn the public that Covid mRNA injections are now “affecting every possible aspect of human pathology.”
The nation’s leading scientists are raising the alarm after linking Covid mRNA shots to soaring cases of deadly diseases that are being recorded all around the world.
Investigations by Japan’s leading experts have now linked the mRNA injections to staggering surges in over two hundred dangerous and deadly diseases.
The findings were laid out in a 93-minute press conference with leading scientists and a top Japanese government lawmaker,
Professor Emeritus Masanori Fukushima of Kyoto University warns that the breadth of the harms is “unprecedented” for medical treatments.
“A systematic review of the literature has unveiled some shocking information,” Fukushima told reporters.
“Thousands of papers have reported side effects after vaccination, affecting every possible aspect of human pathology, from ophthalmology to psychiatry,” he said.
Many of those “incurable” conditions respond remarkably to DMSO
•DMSO can often significantly improve one’s vision, treat conditions such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and at times allow blind individuals to regain their sight. It is also often very helpful for sore and strained eyes and relieves excessive irritation and inflammation, along with many other eye conditions (e.g., cataracts).
•DMSO frequently treats a variety of ear conditions such as tinnitus, hearing loss, airplane ear, and a variety of infections inside the ear (e.g., otitis media).
•DMSO often is very helpful for sinusitis and a variety of infections of the nose and throat. Likewise, it is extremely helpful in dentistry, both for cleaning the mouth (e.g., by preventing bleeding gums), and by allowing the mouth to rapidly heal after dental surgeries.
•In this article, I will review the evidence supporting each of those uses, along with the data demonstrating the safety of these methods of DMSO administration and instructions on how to do them.
Cannabinoids and red light therapy (photobiomodulation) both have significant effects on mitochondrial function, but they operate through different mechanisms. Cannabinoids interact with mitochondrial function primarily through **cannabinoid receptors** and by influencing processes like **calcium homeostasis**, **oxidative stress**, and **energy production**, while red light therapy directly affects mitochondrial electron transport, **cytochrome c oxidase** activity, and **ATP production**.
### **Impact of Cannabinoids on Mitochondria:** Cannabinoids, such as **THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)** and **CBD (cannabidiol)**, have diverse effects on mitochondrial function, which are primarily mediated through their interaction with **cannabinoid receptors** (CB1 and CB2). These receptors are located on the mitochondrial membrane, as well as on the plasma membrane, and can influence several cellular processes.
A group of doctors who defied the COVID narrative has just compiled 18 alternative cancer treatments that WORK!
Not only are these powerful interventions back by science, but most of them are extremely affordable or completely free.
The first anti-cancer therapy is glucose management through a ketogenic diet. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, the ketogenic diet helps starve cancer cells of their primary fuel source, glucose.
Second on the list is exercise. The report says that regular physical activity boosts immune function (critical for fighting cancer), reduces inflammation, and combats fatigue.
Vitamin D3 is also essential. The report says, “Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. Supplementing with vitamin D3 may support the immune system and help prevent cancer cell proliferation.”
One of the more interesting items on the list is the inclusion of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Ivermectin is believed to “interfere with cellular processes essential for cancer cell viability” whereas Fenbendazole inhibits cancer cell division and induces cancer cell death.
