Long COVID-induced Neuropsychiatric Risks Can Last For Over 2 Years; 1 Remedy to Protect or Reverse the Situation

In this article, we examine the longest and largest study on COVID neurological sequelae and the fundamental cause of COVID-19 injury to our nervous system. Targeting the root cause, we may potentially reverse the situation and potentially live longer.  The medical journal Lancet Psychiatry recently published a large-scale study of the neuropsychiatric sequelae of the…


HKU Developed Ultrafast High Resolution Imaging of Blood Cells Circulating in the Brain

A research team from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Hong Kong University (HKU) and the University of California, Berkeley developed an ultrafast microscopic imaging technique that is at least 100 times faster than the usual advanced technique. For the first time, the researchers have captured clear images of red blood cells (RBC) circulating…


Regenerative Agriculture for Health and Sustainability

Soil isn’t just dirt—it’s the base of every ecosystem, a living and life-giving foundation that teems with billions of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that fuel a symbiotic ecosystem. At least that’s how it’s supposed to be. Our modern food and agricultural industries are built on monoculture methods, where large farmlands are planted with only…


Pharmaceutical Adverse Reactions Are Skyrocketing

Researchers published some shocking statistics about the dramatic rise in adverse drug reactions in the UK in a study published in BMJ Open in July.

Nitric Oxide: The Free Radical You Need

The health benefits of nitric oxide (NO) may not be as well known as those of popular nutrients such as iron or vitamin C, but that doesn’t mean they are less important. This gaseous molecule is produced in the arteries and other parts of the body and plays an important role in immune function, athletic…


We Can Restore Cognition by Manipulating Where the Body Meets the Mind

When we age our whole body gradually deteriorates. This includes our brains, where our personality, memories and personal values reside. It is therefore understandable that dementia and memory loss are some of the most devastating hallmarks of ageing, for the elderly, their families, and the healthcare system. This is why researchers want to find ways…


Why Your Natural Immunity Against COVID Is so Durable and How to Boost It
