We often take our hands for granted. We use them all of the time. There are 27 bones in our hands. Half of those are located in our fingers. Each finger has three bones and the thumb has only two. Scientists have estimated that our fingers will bend and flex 25 million times over the course of our lifetime! Our fingers have amazing nerve endings and touch receptors capable of sensing temperature, texture, pressure, movement, and much more. The human body has more than 600 muscles helping it to move, walk, and run. Interestingly, our fingers have none—zero! So how do fingers perform the intricate tasks, with so much dexterity, without any muscles? 

The United States is the only country in the world that requires the washing of eggs before they are sold. As a result, the outside membrane called the cuticle is washed away, leaving them vulnerable to outside bacteria and other sources of spoilage. That is why they must be refrigerated. You can feel the cuticle on a freshly-laid egg as little bumps on the surface of the shell.

​Once refrigerated, they cannot sit on the counter. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) explains: “After eggs are refrigerated, they need to stay that way. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the movement of bacteria into the egg and increasing the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than 2 hours.”

High pressure processing (HPP) is a food preservation method you may not have heard about. It is not pasteurization because it doesn't involve heating food. Instead, a tremendous pressure (like that experienced in underwater marine trenches) is applied to juices, meat, and ready-to-eat meals. The technology claims to extend shelf life and maintain the freshness of foods. However, it is not able to eliminate all microbes or inactivate spores. And, of course, there are no long-term studies looking at potential impacts on human health. The dairy industry is exploring HPP as a method to produce "safe raw milk" with a longer shelf life, although the process does alter the milk's texture, color, and potentially its nutritional qualities. Limited research suggests that HPP-treated foods and beverages may not offer the same benefits to health as their truly raw counterparts. 

A lot of people have been asking about the health benefits of methylene blue, so it was time for me to take a deep dive into it. I didn't know that methylene blue (MB) is actually the parent molecule for chloroquine (which includes hydroxychloroquine). I knew I was going to like it immediately! Besides having antiviral aspects, MB helps mitochondrial respiration (the energy factories in our cells). It also improves brain energy metabolism, which results in improved cognitive performance. Besides all that, it prevents neurodegeneration (brain cell and nerve system damage). 

Menopause is the time that marks the end of the female menstrual cycle. It's officially classified after going 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in the 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in the United States. While menopause is a natural biological process, it represents a major transition in womanhood as significant as a young teenage girl starting her first period. Passing through the front door and exiting the back door of child bearing is not only a physical experience, but a defining emotional, mental, social, and spiritual one too. 

In my book, There's An Elephant in the Room—Exposing Hidden Truths in the Science of Health I discuss how fluoride was introduced in the United States into our drinking water (see pages 81-82). Dentists and toothpaste manufacturers support the use of fluoride on the surface of teeth and there is some science suggesting that it does help harden teeth. However, when it comes to ingesting fluoride, that is a completely different story. 

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is both an enzyme and a gene. A MTHFR gene mutation impairs how the body metabolizes folate (vitamin B9) and other B vitamins (there are eight B vitamins). People with this problem have difficulty processing vitamin B as well as other people do. In the United States, between 20-40% of white and Hispanic individuals have this mutation. It is relatively rare in black people (1-2%). 

Pancreatic cancer is now the third-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. New research suggests a link between elevated insulin in combination with a poor diet and obesity could be the reason why. Insulin resistance is a condition where the body’s cells don’t respond effectively to insulin. This is an issue centered on the science of glycobiology. If insulin cell receptors are not being built properly, they don't function properly. If glycans are not in the correct location to form the cells' insulin lock, then the insulin key doesn't fit and the lock isn't opened. 

The largest study of its kind found that excess mortality in 125 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic was caused by the medical establishment's response to the virus, not the virus itself. Researchers concluded that "nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon." The fearmongering, hysterical reaction by the public health establishment resulted in harmful interventions; these included an untested, mandated COVID-19 vaccine with severe side effects, including death, as well as severe stress related to economic and social lockdowns. 

Children's Health Defense organization publication, The Defender, published a whistleblower interview between Steve Kirsch and a former police detective ("Jennifer"). Steve Kirsch is executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation and he contacted the police station to verify her identity and work history. The detective worked in Omaha, NE, a major city with a population over 300,000 people. She made the stunning claim that 50% of the 250 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases she investigated over her 7 years happened within 48 hours after the infant received a vaccine. Approximately 70% happened within the first week. The detective's information is independently verifiable in the police records "for any health authority who has any doubts," Kirsch said. And he is actively working with the police department to make the statistics public. On top of that, the vaccine injury is never mentioned in coroner reports as the possible cause of SIDS.
