The Danish government abandoned a proposed “epidemic law” that would have given it broad powers to enact measures against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), including forced vaccinations, after nine days of public protests. Had it been passed, the law would have allowed the government to conduct forced physical exams and mandate isolation. It was, however, the part about police-directed … Continue reading Denmark abandons forced vaccination law after public protests
Fatty fish free of environmental pollutants helps prevent Type 2 diabetes: Study
A study published in the Journal of Nutrition shows that fatty fish free of environmental pollutants may reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Researchers based in Sweden and Finland assessed the diet of study participants using a novel technique called mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. This allowed them to investigate the effects of fatty fish independent of compounding factors … Continue reading Fatty fish free of environmental pollutants helps prevent Type 2 diabetes: Study
The Precise Power of CRISPR/Cas9 System Creates Exciting Opportunities for Genetic and Epigenetic Editing
A breakthrough genome-editing technique known as CRISPR has been shown by MIT biological engineers to disrupt a single parasite gene in a matter of weeks, with a success rate as great as 100 percent. In light of this and other recent research, the possibilities for the CRISPR/Cas9 system are substantial for precisely editing the genome and … Continue reading The Precise Power of CRISPR/Cas9 System Creates Exciting Opportunities for Genetic and Epigenetic Editing
Ready for your jab, America? 100 million Covid-19 “vaccine kits” with “immunity cards” await distribution
The Department of Defense (DOD) has released the first images of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Cards,” which CNN says will soon be administered to all Americans. According to Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition, every American will receive one of these written cards, which they will be … Continue reading Ready for your jab, America? 100 million Covid-19 “vaccine kits” with “immunity cards” await distribution
3 Uncommon but nutrient-rich superfoods you need to eat more of
Superfoods like kale, blueberries and quinoa are as healthy as they are popular. But many kinds of superfoods are often overlooked in favor of trendy health foods. For a healthier diet, try any of these three obscure but nutrient-dense superfoods: Radicchio (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum) Radicchio is a leafy vegetable that belongs to the chicory family. It generally resembles a … Continue reading 3 Uncommon but nutrient-rich superfoods you need to eat more of
DNA Methyltransferase (DNMT) Could Help Boost Memory and Reduce Anxiety
Imagine if increasing a certain type of epigenetic enzyme could ease anxiety or cure post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by simply erasing troubling memories? What if it could also enhance cognitive abilities and improve long-term memory and learning? In previous blog articles, researchers found that an immune-suppressing drug that inhibits HDACs could stop aversive memories and the epigenetic … Continue reading DNA Methyltransferase (DNMT) Could Help Boost Memory and Reduce Anxiety
U.K. announces that passports will soon include vaccine stamps
By the time 2021 rolls around, Brits who wish to travel by air will have to show that they have been vaccinated for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). This was the announcement that came from the Department for Transport, a U.K. agency that has decided to require that travelers show “vaccine stamps” in their passports before being allowed … Continue reading U.K. announces that passports will soon include vaccine stamps
Face masks make it harder to hear, affect social interaction
Even without a national mask mandate, people in some states are required to wear face masks in public places and inside business establishments like bars and restaurants across the U.S. But this might be easier said than done for people with hearing loss. In fact, researchers from the University of Manchester in the U.K. warned that the use … Continue reading Face masks make it harder to hear, affect social interaction
BOMBSHELL: Johns-Hopkins researcher says CDC data show COVID-19 has NO effect on percentage of death in older people and has NOT increased number of U.S. deaths
When all is said and done, Americans — and the world — are going to discover that while the COVID-19 virus is real as was the pandemic, virtually nothing we’ve been told about the infection morbidity rates has been accurate. Not even close; in fact, and this has been borne out by a new analysis … Continue reading BOMBSHELL: Johns-Hopkins researcher says CDC data show COVID-19 has NO effect on percentage of death in older people and has NOT increased number of U.S. deaths
“I Am No Longer Haunted By That Awful Memory” – New Epigenetic Drug Treatment May Erase Painful Memories
Is it possible for a drug to dampen a traumatic memory? It may be, as researchers are discovering that a fundamental epigenetic mechanism is responsible for long-term fear memory. Neuroplasticity, also called brain plasticity, refers to the changes in neural connections such as synapses and neural pathways as a result of changes in behavior, environmental … Continue reading “I Am No Longer Haunted By That Awful Memory” – New Epigenetic Drug Treatment May Erase Painful Memories
