Stress Ages the Immune System: Study

We’ve all heard that too much stress can hurt our health. Stress contributes to ailments such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. Now, a study published on June 13 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), shows that years of accumulated stress can more rapidly age the immune system. This finding could…


Immune-Boosting Supplements in a Nutshell

It seems it’s more important than ever to be sure we do all we can to boost our immune system and ward off infection. While it’s true that a healthy immune system relies on a variety of factors, including nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, environmental pollutants, and genetics, we all can also turn to some of the…

Naturally Produced Proteins a Potential Therapy for Lung Cancer Patients

A study on dogs, conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis, has found human immune proteins to be moderately successful in controlling lung cancers without causing major sensitivities and toxicities, showing potential for the protein’s use in humans. Surgical oncologist Dr. Robert J. Canter and canine oncologist Robert B. Rebhun co-authored the study,…


Studies Finds New Immunotherapy Pathway to Prevent Breast Cancer, Gives Treatment Potential

A study by Massachusetts General Hospital has identified a previously unknown immune system mechanism underlying breast cancer prevention, creating potential for future immunotherapy.

New Research Identify Pathways for Potential Treatment for Lethal Bacteria

New research conducted by the Australian National University has identified pathways for lethal Clostridium spp. bacteria, potentially leading to more effective treatment options for the future. “Our research shows there might be new therapies we could develop, such as using certain drugs to neutralise the toxin [released by the bacteria],” said the lead researcher, Prof….


[Premiering 5/18 at 1PM ET] True Dangers of the Spike Protein, and How to Detoxify Yourself From It

After two years of research and studies, the scientific understanding surrounding the danger of the spike protein has evolved quite a lot. At first, when the pandemic first began, people thought that the spike protein was just there to help the virus enter human cells, and that was it. However, over time, researchers have slowly…
