A study that will soon be published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents found that a treatment using hydroxychloroquine significantly lowered hospitalizations and mortality rates in coronavirus patients. The study compared two groups of people. The first was a group of 141 patients who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and were treated with a three-drug cocktail … Continue reading Hospitalizations drop by 84% in patients treated with HCQ, study shows
Insight Into the Inheritance of Epigenetic Marks
An individual’s DNA contains the sequence of nucleotide bases that provide instructions for how every cell in their body is to develop and differentiate. When DNA is read, its instructions are followed to guide the development of cells, allowing genes to be “expressed”. Scientists are actively working to map out the cellular signaling pathways that determine … Continue reading Insight Into the Inheritance of Epigenetic Marks
AstraZeneca says “dosing error” resulted in boosted vaccine trial outcome, justifying claims of “90 percent effective”
Arguably the worst performer in Big Pharma’s race to release a Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccine is AstraZeneca, which somehow screwed up the dosage of its jab in human clinical trials, only to then claim that this “error” resulted in a better outcome. Earlier in the week, we reported that AstraZeneca released two different results for its Covid-19 vaccine trial, … Continue reading AstraZeneca says “dosing error” resulted in boosted vaccine trial outcome, justifying claims of “90 percent effective”
Microplastic pollution found near summit of Mount Everest
Scientists from the University of Plymouth in the U.K. recently made a disturbing discovery near the summit of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth: microplastics. Microscopic pieces of plastic were found just a few hundred feet short of the peak of the 29,000-foot mountain, at a spot known as the balcony. The scientists collected snow samples from 11 locations on … Continue reading Microplastic pollution found near summit of Mount Everest
Histone Modifications Reveal Further Insight into the Process of Aging
Epigenetic research on the potential molecular causes of aging has piqued the curiosity of many people who want to know if it’s possible to slow aging or, perhaps, stop it altogether. The process of aging comes along with physiological changes that decrease the body’s ability to repair tissue and increase vulnerability to metabolic diseases. Overall, … Continue reading Histone Modifications Reveal Further Insight into the Process of Aging
Compounds in celery found to reduce cholesterol and prevent tumor growth in animal study
The Apiaceae (umbellifers) family consists of mostly edible, flowering and aromatic plants, such as carrots, parsley, anise, coriander, Queen Anne’s lace, parsnip and celery. They are some of the most extensively studied edible plants on the planet because of their abundance of medicinal components, which give them various beneficial properties. Celery, for instance, contains apigenin, a compound that can stimulate … Continue reading Compounds in celery found to reduce cholesterol and prevent tumor growth in animal study
Cravings for social contact mimic hunger in the brain, study reveals
Loneliness can trigger “cravings” for social interaction in the brain just as hunger can trigger cravings for food, according to a study led by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The study, published recently in Nature Neuroscience, revealed that after only one day of isolation, the thought of social interaction stimulates the same brain region activated during hunger cravings. Put simply, a … Continue reading Cravings for social contact mimic hunger in the brain, study reveals
Jumping Enzyme Discovered in Nucleus Influences Epigenetic Regulation
A study led by a team of researchers at the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta sheds light on a new, interesting way metabolism is connected to DNA regulation. The discovery may add an important piece to the puzzle in scientists’ quest to understand diseases and their epigenetic basis. One such … Continue reading Jumping Enzyme Discovered in Nucleus Influences Epigenetic Regulation
Researchers ignore scientific evidence, use obsolete data to push national mask mandate
On Oct. 23, the scientific journal Nature Medicine published a report with a bewildering claim: Some 130,000 COVID-19 fatalities in the U.S. could be avoided by the end of February 2021 if at least 95 percent of Americans wore masks. Scores of news outlets scrambled to cover the report the following weeks, with some even citing the need for a national … Continue reading Researchers ignore scientific evidence, use obsolete data to push national mask mandate
Mark of the beast? UN rolls out biometric digital ID wallet and passport
The United Nations (UN) recently announced its rollout of a biometric digital ID wallet for its employees, Waking Times reported Nov. 19. This biometric digital wallet can be used for “data related to human resources, medical status, travel, payroll and pensions.” A separate report by BiometricUpdate.com said the digital ID aims to reduce data fragmentation while streamlining processes. The biometric ID … Continue reading Mark of the beast? UN rolls out biometric digital ID wallet and passport
