Preliminary lab studies at the Salk Institute find THC reduces beta amyloid proteins in human neurons
LA JOLLA–Salk Institute scientists have found preliminary evidence that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other compounds found in marijuana can promote the cellular removal of amyloid beta, a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
While these exploratory studies were conducted in neurons grown in the laboratory, they may offer insight into the role of inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease and could provide clues to developing novel therapeutics for the disorder.
“Although other studies have offered evidence that cannabinoids might be neuroprotective against the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, we believe our study is the first to demonstrate that cannabinoids affect both inflammation and amyloid beta accumulation in nerve cells,” says Salk Professor David Schubert, the senior author of the paper.

The forgotten side of skin health and the necessity of sunlight
…2. A large epidemiological study found women with higher solar UVB exposure had only half the incidence of breast cancer as those with lower solar exposure and that men with higher residential solar exposure had only half the incidence of fatal prostate cancer.
Note: a 50% reduction in either of these cancers greatly exceeds what any of the approaches we use to treat or prevent them have accomplished.
3. A 20 year prospective study evaluated 29,518 women in Southern Sweden where average women from each age bracket with no significant health issues were randomly selected, essentially making it one of the best possible epidemiologic studies that could be done. It found that women who were sun avoidant compared to those who had regular exposure to sunlight were:•Overall 60% more likely to die, being roughly 50% more likely to die than the moderate exposure group and roughly 130% more likely to die than the group with high sun exposure.
Note: to be clear, there are very few interventions in medicine that do anything close to this.
•The largest gain was seen in the risk of dying from heart disease, while the second gain was seen in the risk of all causes of death besides heart disease and cancer (“other”), and the third largest gain was seen in deaths from cancer.
Note: the investigators concluded the smaller benefit in reduced cancer deaths was in part an artifact of the subjects living longer and hence succumbing to a type of cancer that would have only affected them later in life.
• The largest benefit was seen in smokers, to the point non-smokers who avoided the sun had the same risk of dying as smokers who got sunlight.
Note: I believe this and the cardiovascular benefits are in large part due to sunlight catalyzing the synthesis of nitric oxide (which is essential for healthy blood vessels) and sulfates (which coat cells like the endothelium) and in conjunction with infrared (or sunlight) are what create the liquid crystalline water that is essential for the protection and function of the cardiovascular system).
So given all of this, I would say that you need a really good justification to avoid sun exposure.

COVID-19: 51% Suspect Heart Damage From Vaccine
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 51% of American Adults believe it’s likely that the COVID-19 vaccine has caused inflammation in the hearts of many vaccinated Americans, including 29% who think it is Very Likely. Twenty-eight percent (28%) don’t consider it likely that COVID-19 vaccine caused many cases of heart inflammation, and 21% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Earlier this month, the FDA ordered makers of COVID-19 vaccines to expand their warnings about the risk of the heart side effects — which doctors call myocarditis (an inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart). Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republicans, 39% of Democrats and 49% of those not affiliated with either major party believe it’s at least somewhat likely that many have suffered heart inflammation caused by COVID-19 vaccine.
The problem has always been it takes the public too long to figure stuff out. The psychopaths running the show can do whatever they want and it takes years for a majority to even marginally understand what has happened to them, even when you force them to take a vax that clearly from day one was never Safe & Effective. How in the world could an untested vax possibly be declared Safe & Effective and why does the public not see something so obvious? I wonder if there is a way AI can speed up the pace of understanding. Probably it will only slow it. All we have left is interpersonal dialog in person or online. That is the only thing which can stand against the looming totalitarian state. Many of us have seen what is coming and also know there is little we can do but raise awareness, a near hopeless task. FWIW, I am not totally black-pilled and even feel pretty good about the new tech revolution. A major thing to hope for is the elite will become bored with their greed and sadism. Humans become wonderful when they have time to think and are not greedy or mean-spirited. ABN
Nobody seems to see the drama unfolding right before our eyes — Geert Vanden Bossche
I’m sure some of you have become aware of new COVID-19 (C-19) outbreaks in several Asian countries (Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, China, Japan). But even in Australia, NB. 1.8.1 is now spreading, and it has already made landfall in the US and several European countries as well. These outbreaks are continuing to rise rapidly and at least Taiwan has been reporting a sustained increase in severe and fatal cases too. While critics are rightfully concerned about the many direct side effects of the C-19 vaccines, few are aware of the threat posed by the large-scale and out-of-control gain-of-function experiment that has been triggered by irrational human intervention in highly C-19 vaccinated populations. After psychotic infection-prevention measures and insane C-19 mass vaccination drove viral escape from anti-SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) immunity, making the virus more infectious, ongoing vaccine breakthrough infections now appear to be evolving in a way that facilitates immune deficiency against SC-2 altogether, thereby facilitating increased viral virulence of newly emerging, highly transmissible SC-2 lineages. As I always said: This is not going to have a happy ending (in highly C-19 vaccinated populations).
He did say this would happen, though he thought probably much sooner than this. Others say the new virus outbreaks are yet another psyop. Both could be true. Vanden Bossche has always made sense to me on this topic. He has studied and observed what happens to animal herds when vaxxes go wrong, which provided a sound background for his analyses of the covid vaxxes. Worst case is they really are going to kill almost all of us and that’s what this is. ABN
Rethinking sugar: BYU study shows food source is key to understanding diabetes risk
For years, we’ve been told that sugar is a major culprit behind the global rise in type 2 diabetes. Now, emerging evidence from BYU researchers adds nuance to that message, suggesting not all sugar sources carry the same risk.
In the largest and most comprehensive meta-analysis of its kind, BYU researchers—in collaboration with researchers from Germany-based institutions—found that the type and source of sugar may matter far more than previously thought. Researchers analyzed data from over half a million people across multiple continents, revealing a surprising twist: sugar consumed through beverages—like soda and even fruit juice—was consistently linked to a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Meanwhile, other sugar sources showed no such link and, in some cases, were even associated with a lower risk.
“This is the first study to draw clear dose-response relationships between different sugar sources and type 2 diabetes risk,” said Karen Della Corte, lead author and BYU nutritional science professor. “It highlights why drinking your sugar—whether from soda or juice—is more problematic for health than eating it.”
After correcting for body mass index, excess energy intake and several other lifestyle risk factors, the researchers found the following dose-response relationships:
- With each additional 12-oz serving of sugar-sweetened beverages (i.e., soft drinks, energy drinks and sports drinks) per day, the risk for developing T2D increased by 25%. This strong relationship showed that the increased risk began from the very first daily serving with no minimum threshold below which intake appeared to be safe.
- With each additional 8-oz serving of fruit juice per day (i.e., 100% fruit juice, nectars and juice drinks), the risk for developing T2D increased by 5%.
- The above risks are relative not absolute. For example, if the average person’s baseline risk of developing T2D is about 10%, four sodas a day could raise that to roughly 20%, not 100%.
- Comparatively, 20 g/day intakes of total sucrose (table sugar) and total sugar (the sum of all naturally occurring and added sugars in the diet) showed an inverse association with T2D, hinting at a surprising protective association.
Why drinking sugar would be more problematic than eating sugar may come down to the differing metabolic effects. Sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice supply isolated sugars, leading to a greater glycemic impact that would overwhelm and disrupt liver metabolism thereby increasing liver fat and insulin resistance.
On the other hand, dietary sugars consumed in or added to nutrient-dense foods, such as whole fruits, dairy products, or whole grains, do not cause metabolic overload in the liver. These embedded sugars elicit slower blood glucose responses due to accompanying fiber, fats, proteins and other beneficial nutrients.
Fruit juice, even with some vitamins and nutrients, is much less beneficial. Because of its high and

The DMSO Handbook: A Practical Guide to its Uses and Applications
12-point summary
1. Revolutionary Discovery and Properties DMSO represents a fundamental shift in medical treatment, as it can rapidly enter the body through any route of administration and cross biological barriers that normally block other substances. This simple chemical, discovered as a paper manufacturing byproduct, demonstrated unprecedented abilities to carry other substances throughout the body while simultaneously protecting cells from death under various stressful conditions.
The compound’s remarkable safety profile, with no deaths linked to its use among millions of users over 60 years, sets it apart from common medications like NSAIDs and opioids that kill tens of thousands annually. Its ability to serve multiple therapeutic functions simultaneously – reducing inflammation, improving circulation, relieving pain, and protecting cells – makes it unique in medical science.
This is a long summary with lots of information about DMSO. If you suffer any chronic ailment, it’s probably worth taking a look at the information linked above. I am somewhat new to DMSO, but have read enough on it to be reasonably sure it is a legitimate treatment for many conditions. ABN

‘Inverse vaccines’: the promise of a ‘holy grail’ treatment for autoimmune diseases
A revolution is now afoot, as researchers are developing a new approach that targets only the specific part of the immune system that’s gone rogue. These treatments are known as “inverse vaccines” because they suppress a particular part of the immune system, rather than amplifying it, as existing vaccines do.
…The basic idea of inverse vaccines rests on using certain synthetic nanoparticles attached to particular disease-related proteins – called antigens – as targeted messengers to retrain the immune system. The nanoparticles mimic dying human cells, a normal ongoing process. Although these dying cells are “foreign”, the immune system knows not to attack them. The immune system learns to ignore both the nanoparticles and the attached proteins, and stops attacking the body.
“What this does is, it re-educates the immune system,” says NYU bioengineer Jeffrey Hubbell. “So then it says: ‘OK, I’m good, I don’t need to attack this, because I see that it’s not a threat.’”
‘The manufacturer has no idea what dose they’re giving, no idea where it goes in the body, and whether they are producing off-target antigens’ — Jay Bhattacharya

COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy Over 60% of Women’s Non-Renewable Egg Supply
New study finds rats injected intramuscularly with human-equivalent mRNA doses suffered irreversible loss of primordial follicles — the foundation of fertility.
…Here’s what the study found in simple terms:
Severe Destruction of Ovarian Reserve
- Rats injected intramuscularly with a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine — at a human-equivalent dose — experienced a >60% reduction in primordial follicles, the foundational egg supply for future fertility (p < 0.001).
- The inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac) also caused loss, but to a lesser extent.
Damage Targets Non-Renewable Egg Supply
- The primordial follicle pool is finite and non-regenerating — females are born with all the eggs they will ever have.
- Destruction of this pool is irreversible, leading to permanent fertility loss if translated to humans.
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Levels Crashed
- AMH, a hormone reflecting ovarian reserve, dropped significantly in the mRNA group — both in serum and in ovarian tissue (p < 0.001).
- Lower AMH is associated with poor fertility outcomes and earlier menopause.
Elevated Cell Death and Inflammatory Signals
- Increased expression of caspase-3 (a cell-death enzyme) and inflammatory markers like TGF-β1 and VEGF were found in vaccinated rats.
- These biomarkers are linked to ovarian atresia, fibrosis, and long-term tissue damage.
More Severe Effects with mRNA Vaccines
- Compared to the inactivated vaccine, the mRNA group had:
- Fewer growing follicles (primary, secondary, antral, preovulatory)
- More dying follicles (atretic)
- Greater reductions in hormone markers of fertility
If these findings indeed apply to humans, the implications for global fertility rates are profound. This kind of damage — to a woman’s lifelong egg supply — is biologically irreversible.
Unfortunately, a recent study by Manniche et al indicates that these ovarian reserve destruction findings likely DO translate to humans. Among ~1.3 million Czech women aged 18–39, those vaccinated against COVID-19 had ~33% fewer successful pregnancies compared to unvaccinated women:
Hundreds of Studies Show DMSO Transforms The Treatment of Cancer
Story at a Glance:
- Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) effectively treats a broad spectrum of conditions, including strokes, pain, tissue injuries, autoimmune inflammation, and cancer.
- DMSO inhibits cancer growth and consistently reverts cancer cells to their normal state.
- DMSO enhances cancer visibility to immune cells, enabling the body to eliminate tumors previously undetected by the immune system.
- DMSO effectively mitigates major challenges in conventional cancer care, such as radiation damage, chemotherapy toxicity, and pain from “incurable” metastatic cancer.
- DMSO markedly boosts the efficacy of many chemotherapy drugs, allowing safer, lower doses to achieve the same results.
- When paired with certain natural therapies, DMSO often produces highly effective cancer treatments, revolutionizing cancer care.

CDC: 60+ Million Americans Are Infected With Sneaky Parasites — How One Woman Cured Them Naturally
You might think of parasites — and the diseases they cause — as a problem that will never affect you, and you wouldn’t be alone in that thought. But intestinal parasites affect humans and are not just a Third World concern: They affect millions of Americans. Indeed, according to the CDC, more than 60 million people in the US are infected with parasites. Explains Gordo Crozier, DO, an integrative physician in Orlando. “Because parasites are spread by pets, contaminated water and improperly handled food, they’re becoming an increasingly common health threat in the U.S.” And intestinal parasites thrive in warm weather, so risk rises in the summer.
And intestinal parasites in humans are far from harmless: They are a top cause of fatigue, says Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., author of Guess What Came to Dinner? ($15.99, Amazon) Gittleman asserts that for eight in 10 women experiencing tiredness, GI issues, brain fog, and other vague symptoms, intestinal parasites are to blame. Adds functional medicine specialist Leo Galland, MD: “Because symptoms are so varied, parasites are often overlooked as the cause.”
Women over 50 are most at risk of harboring intestinal parasites since the production of stomach acid that helps kill the invaders drops rapidly with age. “Intestinal parasites in humans mostly come from food and water, so any decrease in stomach acid increases infection risk,” says Dr. Galland. Other sources of exposure: wilderness activities, pets, travel.
Most parasites can be eliminated with a single dose of ivermectin, scabies with two doses. I am not a doctor, so be sure to check dosage and timing with a trusted source or consult with your doctor. My understanding is ivermectin must be taken on an empty stomach for parasites, but with food for viral illnesses. ABN
