Genetic predispositions associated with metabolism of the amyloid-β protein precursor underlie familial Alzheimer’s disease; a form of dementia characterized by early disease onset and elevated levels of cortical amyloid-β. Human exposure to aluminum is linked to the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and recent research measured a high content of aluminum in brain tissue in familial…

Reuters reports “T-cell study adds to debate over duration of COVID-19 immunity”
LONDON (Reuters) – A small but key UK study has found that “cellular immunity” to the pandemic SARS-CoV-2 virus is present after six months in people who had mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 – suggesting they might have some level of protection for at least that time. Scientists presenting the findings, from 100 non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients…
FT reports “T-cell response delivers coronavirus immunity after infection, study shows”
Coronavirus induces strong and long-lasting cellular immunity after infection, new research shows, suggesting people are unlikely to quickly catch the disease again and increasing the chances vaccines will be effective. “Our study is the first in the world to show robust cellular immunity remains at six months after infection in individuals who experienced either mild/moderate…
Cell Research reports “Increased IL-1β activation, the culprit not only for defective insulin secretion but also for insulin resistance?”
Regardless of the precise underlying mechanism, an impressive number of genetic animal models now demonstrate a role for the inflammasome in mediating IL-1β-induced insulin resistance. This is further supported by earlier intervention studies showing that IL-1 blockade in animal models of diabetes improved both insulin secretion and sensitivity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3193499/
Dr. Jim Meehan reports “An Evidence Based Scientific Analysis of Why Masks are Ineffective, Unnecessary, and Harmful”
Jim Meehan, MD is an ophthalmologist and preventive medicine specialist with over 20 years of experience and advanced training in immunology, inflammation, and infectious disease. He has performed well over 10,000 surgical procedures. His research experience includes investigating associations between military vaccinations and Gulf War Syndrome. Dr. Meehan is also trained in internal medicine, addiction…
PeerJ reports “Positive association between COVID-19 deaths and influenza vaccination rates in elderly people worldwide”
The results showed a positive association between COVID-19 deaths and IVR of people ≥65 years-old. There is a significant increase in COVID-19 deaths from eastern to western regions in the world. Further exploration is needed to explain these findings, and additional work on this line of research may lead to prevention of deaths associated with…
Shiraz University of Medical Sciences reports “significant relationship between mercury concentration and autism”
There is a likelihood of a possible relationship between the concentrations of copper, lead, and mercury and autism. The present review was carried out to determine the relationship between the concentrations of these elements and autism by meta-analysis. Conclusion: There is, nevertheless, a significant relationship between mercury concentration and autism. Thus, the concentration of mercury can…
Systematic Reviews reports “Benefits and harms of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines: systematic review with meta-analyses of trial data from clinical study reports”
At 4 years follow-up, the HPV vaccines decreased HPV-related cancer precursors and treatment procedures but increased serious nervous system disorders (exploratory analysis) and general harms. As the included trials were primarily designed to assess benefits and were not adequately designed to assess harms, the extent to which the HPV vaccines’ benefits outweigh their harms is unclear….
Journal of Translational Autoimmunity reports “Pathogenic priming likely contributes to serious and critical illness and mortality in COVID-19 via autoimmunity”
Homology between human and viral proteins is an established factor in viral- or vaccine-induced autoimmunity. Failure of SARS and MERS vaccines in animal trials involved pathogenesis consistent with an immunological priming that could involve autoimmunity in lung tissues due to previous exposure to the SARS and MERS spike protein. Exposure pathogenesis to SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19…
National Pulse reports “Whistleblower Dr. Yan Releases Report Suggesting Coronavirus Was ‘Lab Modified’”
DR. LI MENG YAN – THE WHISTLEBLOWER WHO LEFT HONG KONG TO TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY’S VIRUS AND ITS TRUE ORIGINS – HAS NOW PUBLISHED A FULL REPORT INCLUDING PROTEIN SEQUENCING WHICH SHE CLAIMS SHOWS EVIDENCE OF LAB-MODIFICATION, RATHER THAN A NATURAL CAUSE OF THE VIRUS. The report opens by stating…
