A study from Nature Neuroscience finds the S1 spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 crosses the blood–brain barrier in mice and can cause damage to the cardiovascular and central nervous systems. The spike protein is readily cleared from the blood and taken up by peripheral tissues. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was recovered from cerebrospinal fluid, proving it can cross the blood–brain barrier. … Continue reading Spike proteins administered intravenously are engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier, can cause cerebral hemorrhage
Indoor pollution in classrooms threatens the health of schoolchildren, scientists warn
When you think of indoor air pollution, you might imagine a home with a wood-burning stove or a smoky bar. One environment that may not come immediately to mind is a school, but the unfortunate truth is that indoor air pollution in classrooms around the world is putting children’s health in jeopardy. A study published … Continue reading Indoor pollution in classrooms threatens the health of schoolchildren, scientists warn
Study explains how diet, exercise and the endocannabinoid system contribute to healthy aging
Researchers define the human endocannabinoid system (ECS) as a complex cell-signaling system that plays an important role in the development of the central nervous system (CNS), synaptic plasticity — a characteristic of neurons in the brain — and the body’s response to internal and external insults or stressors. The ECS, whose components are widely distributed throughout the … Continue reading Study explains how diet, exercise and the endocannabinoid system contribute to healthy aging
Federal court says EPA must ban pesticide linked to brain damage in children
Children may soon be spared from a toxic pesticide that has been linked to brain damage. On April 29, the 9th United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must ban all uses of chlorpyrifos on food or establish new residue levels for the insecticide that are safe for children. The decision comes after more than a decade … Continue reading Federal court says EPA must ban pesticide linked to brain damage in children
Do covid vaccines contain GMO “Magneto” protein capable of remotely controlling behavior, brain activity?
American researchers have developed a new method of mind control that sounds oddly similar to what some suspect is contained within Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines.” Using genetic engineering, “Frankenstein” scientists have reportedly developed a genetically modified (GMO) protein known as “Magneto” that allows behaviors and brain function to be remotely controlled externally. Magneto was designed to activate … Continue reading Do covid vaccines contain GMO “Magneto” protein capable of remotely controlling behavior, brain activity?
New Alzheimer’s treatment using ultrasound yields 75% success rate, restoring complete memory function in trial run
A new Alzheimer’s treatment called focused therapeutic ultrasound beams sound waves into brain tissue and stimulates the brain’s waste removal system, safely enabling a clearance of the plaques, clumps and tangles that block memories. This non-invasive technology uses sound waves to safely open the blood-brain barrier where your ‘janitorial’ microglial cells can sweep out the garbage for … Continue reading New Alzheimer’s treatment using ultrasound yields 75% success rate, restoring complete memory function in trial run
Food for the brain: Review examines the link between diet and mental health
A review published in the journal European Neuropsychopharmacology shows that a person’s diet can improve or worsen his mental health, depending on the quality of the foods that he eats. European researchers arrived at this conclusion after reviewing past studies that examined the potential link between nutrition and mental health. The researchers found strong evidence that the Mediterranean diet, which is … Continue reading Food for the brain: Review examines the link between diet and mental health
Canadian doctors now investigating mysterious brain condition in some patients
Doctors in Canada have encountered patients exhibiting symptoms of a mysterious brain condition. The disease shares similarities with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Medical professionals surmise that environmental toxins are behind the unknown condition. Roger Ellis is a patient afflicted with the disease. The New Brunswick resident, who is in his early 60s, … Continue reading Canadian doctors now investigating mysterious brain condition in some patients
Study: Fire retardant used in furniture and insulation linked to antisocial behavior
A study published in the journal Environmental Health shows that commonly used fire retardants may increase children’s risk of antisocial behavior. Researchers from Oregon State University and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that children with higher levels of exposure to certain types of flame retardants are more likely to exhibit antisocial behaviors like aggression, defiance, hyperactivity, inattention and … Continue reading Study: Fire retardant used in furniture and insulation linked to antisocial behavior
Syngenta weed killer trial moved to June, explores whether paraquat causes Parkinson’s disease
A highly anticipated first-ever trial pitting farmers against the global agricultural giant Syngenta AG over allegations that Syngenta’s paraquat weed-killer causes Parkinson’s disease has been moved to June 1 due to a combination of scheduling and COVID issues. The trial, titled Hoffman V. Syngenta, is supposed to begin Monday, May 10, at St. Clair County Circuit Court in … Continue reading Syngenta weed killer trial moved to June, explores whether paraquat causes Parkinson’s disease
