The Power of the ProstaglandinProstaglandins (PGs) are hormone like substances that affect every single biological cell system. In much the same fashion as hormones, they are involved in initiating molecular activity. However, unlike the typical so-called endocrine hormones which are made in glands and travel to various parts of the body, prostaglandins remain localized to the cellular areas they are secreted from.
Old Man’s Disease is More Prevalent Than Anyone SuspectsI love my dad. He gave us kids everything he could: love, money, attention, and most of all he was always there for us when the chips were down. When I was young, I thought my dad knew everything. Unfortunately, as I got older I realized my dad only thought he knew everything. I used to call this condition of all-knowingness “Old Man’s Disease” (OMD) which I defined as the mental condition that causes us to believe that we know everything.

While the U.S. economy has not crashed (yet) due to Trump's complete failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it is collapsing the economies of the (formerly) rich Gulf States, who are now begging Trump's administration to bail them out. Just a reminder, Dubai was the richest and most modern city in the world prior to the Iran war, as it was built as the […]

- Netanyahu and Zionism is Pushing the World Towards Economic Catastropheby Brian-Admin on April 16, 2026 at 5:53 pm
As has often been the case since the Iran War has started, the U.S. corporate media, whether "left" leaning or "right" leaning, is reporting news on this war that is far different from what is being reported outside of the U.S. media.

A new virus-fighting plastic film could transform everyday surfaces into invisible defenders against disease. Instead of relying on chemicals, this flexible material is covered in microscopic pillars that physically stretch viruses until they burst, rendering them harmless. In lab tests, it destroyed or disabled about 94% of virus particles within an hour, […]

Some Thoughts on VitaminsThere are two classes of vitamins, those that dissolve in water and those that dissolve in oil, the so-called water soluble vitamins, which are the B-complex and Vitamin C and the fat soluble vitamins, D, E, A and K. The water soluble vitamins critical as they may be are easier to work with than the fat soluble vitamins. You can and should take a lot of B-complex and vitamin C, they are multi-functional and used and excreted rapidly.
Waking Up from the Fluoride NightmareIn 2001, the Caries Research Journal published research showing that fluoride accumulates in high levels in the pineal gland, which is responsible for melatonin production and therefore regulation of the body’s circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle), the onset of puberty in females, and protection of cells from free-radical damage.

The body's immune reaction to increased levels of a toxic molecule, part of a bacterial species in the human gut, may reveal who is most at risk of developing lupus nephritis, according to a new study led by NYU Langone Health. In people with the disease, which often leads to long-term kidney damage, the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Bouts of lupus nephritis have been tied by past […]

Recently, surgical constriction of the pulmonary artery has been introduced as an innovative approach to deliberately "train" the heart. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn investigated the underlying biological mechanisms of this approach.
