A team of Harvard research scientists, publishing in the New England Journal of Medicine, have found that SARS-CoV-2 virus has mutated so much that the Pfizer mRNA vaccines developed against the original Wuhan strain now have little to no effect. The study, “Neutralization Escape by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Subvariants BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5,” evaluated neutralizing antibody…
COVID-19 Jab Does Not Work. Here’s Why
New Study: Unvaccinated Wrongly Maligned
A large-scale international study of those unvaccinated against COVID-19 finds a pattern of discrimination—and a relatively low hospitalization rate. While the study’s findings are limited by the nature of the selection process, in which unvaccinated people opted in to participate, the new study suggests that those who declined the vaccine may not be the burden…
Sleep ‘Sweet Spot’ May Mean Less Cognitive Decline
Like so many other good things in life, sleep is best in moderation, new research suggests. A multiyear study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive decline than people who slept a moderate amount, even when researchers took into account the effects of early Alzheimer’s disease. Poor sleep and…
Immunity Hacks: How to Make Your Body More Resilient to Viruses
Although none of us can completely avoid environmental toxins, we can greatly influence how many toxins get inside our homes and body by making simple changes to our lifestyle. This is what I mean by “hacking” the immune system. We simply stop the practice of putting toxins in (and on) the body and focus our attention on detoxification…
Why the War on Salt Is Dangerous
Do you still believe the myth that salt is bad for your blood pressure? If you examine the evidence, you’ll quickly see that your risk for hypertension and heart disease is far more dependent on your ratio of this other mineral, and not sodium. And if you eat the standard American foods, your ratio is…
Low Testosterone and What You Can Do About It
It’s possible you don’t have the energy, libido, or mood you used to. There can be several reasons, but one may have to do with dropping testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone found in all humans. However, it plays a far more prominent role in men than women. It plays a role in sex drive, bone…
Hope for Intractable Epilepsy Doesn’t Come From Drugs
I recently attended an online symposium for my son’s rare, super-refractory epilepsy syndrome: febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome. FIRES is considered one of the most catastrophic seizure conditions, typically occurring “out of the blue” in healthy children from 4 to 6 years old. New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is the same syndrome but in young adults….
Healthy Reasons to Eat More Real Cinnamon (Not Its Cousin)
If you live in North America or Europe, that jar of “cinnamon” in your cupboard is probably not truly cinnamon at all, but a very similar spice known as cassia. True cinnamon is usually labeled “Ceylon cinnamon” and comes principally from Sri Lanka (called Ceylon in colonial times), India, Madagascar, Brazil, and the Caribbean. Cassia, on the other…
Seniors With Prediabetes Shouldn’t Fret Too Much
Almost half of older adults—more than 26 million people aged 65 and older—have prediabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). How concerned should they be? Not very, some experts say. Prediabetes—a term that refers to above-normal, but not extremely high blood sugar levels—isn’t a disease, and it doesn’t imply that older adults who have…
Brain Fog: The Tip of a Serious Health Iceberg
Last week saw over 100 national and international speakers, 500+ in-person delegates and over 2,000 virtual attendees gather for the 2nd World Congress of the World Council for Health and Médicos Pela Vida in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. The congress was largely solution-based, focusing on where we find ourselves now with chronic COVID-19 and post-vaccination diseases and…
