One of the 250 or so people who was hired on by Google and a partner group known as Ascension to build an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven electronic medical records system has publicly come forward as a whistleblower to warn Americans that the world’s most popular search engine is planning to put their private health data at serious … Continue reading Google’s entry into the electronic medical records biz has put data of 50 million Americans at risk, whistleblower warns
Reduce inflammation in the gut with the “fasting-mimicking” diet
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammation-related conditions may consider taking up a low-calorie eating pattern. In particular, they could take one that simulates fasting. Researchers report that such a fasting-mimicking diet may help prevent inflammation and improve gut health. In mice models of IBD, the fasting-mimicking diet encouraged the growth of good gut bacteria. The … Continue reading Reduce inflammation in the gut with the “fasting-mimicking” diet
Understanding the gut-brain axis: Can a probiotic help reduce stress levels?
Scientists have long believed that bidirectional communication exists between the gut and the brain. In fact, evidence suggesting that the gut microbiota — the diverse community of microbes living in the human gut — interacts with the central nervous system (CNS) and influences brain function has increased over the years. Recent studies even propose that this happens via several … Continue reading Understanding the gut-brain axis: Can a probiotic help reduce stress levels?
Big Pharma vs. Boeing: Deaths from pharmaceuticals are like a 737 Max crashing and burning EVERY DAY
As investigations into Boeing and its disastrous 737 Max airplane continue, it’s worth pointing out that the reported number of deaths associated with FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs is about the same as a full 737 Max airplane crashing and killing everyone on board every single day. The public is outraged, as it should be, that Boeing somehow got … Continue reading Big Pharma vs. Boeing: Deaths from pharmaceuticals are like a 737 Max crashing and burning EVERY DAY
7 Ways you’re unknowingly putting yourself at risk for Lyme disease
After going outside, it may be best to do a tick check. Lyme disease is a dangerous condition that causes fever, rashes, face paralysis, and arthritis. Without proper care, it can even lead to death. Interestingly, something so deadly comes from the bite of something so small: ticks. Ticks are tiny arachnids commonly found in grassy, woodland … Continue reading 7 Ways you’re unknowingly putting yourself at risk for Lyme disease
Your itchy skin may indicate a kidney condition; research finds a connection
Having itchy skin can mean a lot of things, but what if it’s more frequent and more severe than normal? A study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology suggested that this may be a sign of a kidney problem. The study’s researchers found that extremely itchy skin, known as pruritus, affects many people … Continue reading Your itchy skin may indicate a kidney condition; research finds a connection
The science behind “familiar smells:” How odors affect memory formation in the brain
The processes by which the brain learns new things and stores memories respond to input from the senses. German researchers have recently reported that scent processing might affect the brain’s memory centers. Their study covered the piriform cortex. This region of the olfactory brain interprets smells picked up by the nose’s olfactory receptors. The Ruhr Universitat Bochum (RUB) team … Continue reading The science behind “familiar smells:” How odors affect memory formation in the brain
Extracts from fermented Trapa japonica fruits can improve symptoms of alopecia
In this study, researchers from South Korea examined the effect of Bacillus/Trapa japonica fruit ferment filtrate extracts (TJFs) on human hair follicle dermal papilla (HDP) cells to determine if the activation of the Akt/ERK/GSK-3B signaling pathway improves HDP cell proliferation. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Despite modern medical treatments, the number of alopecia … Continue reading Extracts from fermented Trapa japonica fruits can improve symptoms of alopecia
EXPOSED: Google caught in the act of sweeping the private health records of millions of Americans across 21 states
It has been leaked that tech giant Google is engaged in yet another secretive program, this one code-named “Project Nightingale,” that involves harvesting people’s personal health information in order to monetize it. As originally reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Project Nightingale is said to be the biggest data-harvesting scheme of its kind, outpacing similar ones launched … Continue reading EXPOSED: Google caught in the act of sweeping the private health records of millions of Americans across 21 states
WiFi and EMF exposure causes DNA damage through peroxynitrite production in the body; antioxidants can shield the body from chemical oxidation
A thorough review of the available published science on wireless (WiFi) and electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure has identified at least seven different ways that WiFi and EMF microwave pollution actively harms the human body. Published in the journal Environmental Research, the peer-reviewed paper explains that exposure to WiFi signals, which are everywhere these days, can lead to: oxidative stress, sperm and testicular … Continue reading WiFi and EMF exposure causes DNA damage through peroxynitrite production in the body; antioxidants can shield the body from chemical oxidation
