Spotted people talking about this Chinese paper that claims that people with heart disease in particular are suffering from suppressed immune function post COVID.

The authors had samples taken from people in Shandong from “pre-COVID” (January 2021-December 2022), “mass infection” (December 2022-February 2023–apparently they had a “zero COVID policy. The paper doesn’t discuss whether they considered trying to check whether people might have been infected before then, not that that would be easy to do using anti-spike antibody testing or some other testing. But let’s roll with their claims), and “post-COVID” (March 2023-December 2024).

Pay attention to that timeline.

The “wave” happened much later than in the west. And it was over before March 2023.

From March 2023, the authors concluded that everyone had already had and recovered from COVID.

Now, look at the graphs showing a sudden and profound crash in lymphocytes…

In August 2023!

That’s more than 5 months after the end of the outbreak.

Hmmmm…

Could anything have happened just before August 2023, I hear you ask.

Great question. I was curious as well.

So naturally, I asked my bestie, Sonnet 4.5.

And apparently, in April 2023, a new “Vaccination work plan for response to recent COVID-19 infection” was issued.

Then in July 2023, the Chinese government updated COVID-19 vaccination guidance to increase immunity levels in specific groups and reduce the risk of severe disease.

Between May 23rd, 2023, and August 28th, 2023, 4089 eligible people were equally randomised to receive a booster dose of aerosolised Ad5-nCoV.

But I’m sure that’s all completely irrelevant.

It makes far more sense that a “pandemic” came and went without impacting the immune systems but that the crash in immune function occurred in temporal relationship with a new vaccine push, and the drop in lymphocytes occurred secondary to the infections that they didn’t document that anyone in the study actually suffered from.

Incidentally, in case you’re wondering, no they did NOT analyse lymphocyte counts according to vaccination status. Because why would you do that when your own data very clearly show a definitive drop in lymphocyte counts that tie with a vaccine programme?

Got a cold for the first time in almost 4 years!

They’re about as much fun as I remembered.

Probably less because the last few I actually had some fun playing around with my whistle register and this time I don’t seem to be hoarse.

How do you cope with feeling bunged up and pi**ed off?

Oh good Lord! I can’t believe it!

An Australian lab has been developing a biological computer chip… using human brain cells.

Now, they have a CL1 chip with 200 000 neurons that’s learning how to play a computer game (Doom).

Does this strike anyone else as being intensely dystopian?

Human neurons are remarkably powerful efficient. So, if (when?) this scales, they could replace silicon AIs in data centres or maybe even in home devices.

But at what point do they become conscious? At what point do they experience emotions and pain and well as the ability to reason?

This has the potential to be one of the weirdest transhumanism projects out there. And if it’s profitable, which I suspect it will be, I expect the ethics to lag the profits by a considerable margin.

What do you think?

Today, the computer game Doom. A game full of demons in hell.

Tomorrow?

Are we all Doomed?

Have you heard that choline is terrible for your health because it increases TMAO levels?

Meanwhile, you can induce liver cancer in about half of the rats in this study by feeding them a diet deficient in choline and methionine m. 100% of the rats ended up with liver nodules.

That’s all they did. Just restrict choline and the amino acid methionine in the rats’ diet. No additional carcinogens in the form of toxins or anything else were needed. Just malnutrition on its own.

And you could completely eliminate the risk of both liver cancer and nodules in the same rats by providing them with a diet containing 0.8% choline.

Incidentally, the top sources of choline in the diet are egg yolks, brain and liver. And vegans and vegetarians also tend to have poor intakes of methionine because most plant proteins contain very little.

One would almost think that the research aimed at linking choline with poor health is designed to create a narrative to increase liver disease and cancer while limiting the desirability of animal products.

Well there you have it folks

Lyme disease was a man-made bioweapon ☠️

Dr Robert Malone: Declassified documents show:

- 282,800 radioactive lonestar ticks were released between 1966-69 in Virginia

- Pentagon/US Military invested billions in weaponizing mosquitos, fleas, other insects in the 1960s-70s

- CIA experimented by dropping infected ticks on Cuban civilians (Operation Mongoose - 1962) at nighttime

And much more. Link to article in the comments.

Conspiracy theorists: Vindicated once again

P.S - if you haven't read the book "Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Germ Laboratory"... I highly recommend it

Actual sun shining over Northern Ireland!

And this is why I love good, old fashioned yellow daffodils so much. Just the plain little trumpets. Nothing fancy. But exceedingly cheerful.

Well, this is completely dystopian.

And we’re all screwed…

“Stanford just analyzed the privacy policies of the six biggest AI companies in America.

Amazon. Anthropic. Google. Meta. Microsoft. OpenAI.

All six use your conversations to train their models. By default. Without meaningfully asking.

Here's what the paper actually found.

The researchers at Stanford HAI examined 28 privacy documents across these six companies not just the main privacy policy, but every linked subpolicy, FAQ, and guidance page accessible from the chat interfaces.

They evaluated all of them against the California Consumer Privacy Act, the most comprehensive privacy law in the United States.

The results are worse than you think.

Every single company collects your chat data and feeds it back into model training by default. Some retain your conversations indefinitely. There is no expiration. No auto-delete. Your data just sits there, forever, feeding future versions of the model.

Some of these companies let human employees read your chat transcripts as part of the training process. Not anonymized summaries. Your actual conversations.

But here's where it gets genuinely dangerous.

For companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon companies that also run search engines, social media platforms, e-commerce sites, and cloud services your AI conversations don't stay inside the chatbot.

They get merged with everything else those companies already know about you.

Your search history. Your purchase data. Your social media activity. Your uploaded files.

The researchers describe a realistic scenario that should make you pause: You ask an AI chatbot for heart-healthy dinner recipes. The model infers you may have a cardiovascular condition. That classification flows through the company's broader ecosystem. You start seeing ads for medications. The information reaches insurance databases. The effects compound over time.

You shared a dinner question. The system built a health profile.

It gets worse when you look at children's data.

Four of the six companies appear to include children's chat data in their model training. Google announced it would train on teenager data with opt-in consent. Anthropic says it doesn't collect children's data but doesn't verify ages. Microsoft says it collects data from users under 18 but claims not to use it for training.

Children cannot legally consent to this. Most parents don't know it's happening.

The opt-out mechanisms are a maze.

Some companies offer opt-outs. Some don't. The ones that do bury the option deep inside settings pages that most users will never find. The privacy policies themselves are written in dense legal language that researchers people whose job is reading these documents found difficult to interpret.

And here's the structural problem nobody is addressing.

There is no comprehensive federal privacy law in the United States governing how AI companies handle chat data. The patchwork of state laws leaves massive gaps. The researchers specifically call for three things: mandatory federal regulation, affirmative opt-in (not opt-out) for model training, and automatic filtering of personal information from chat inputs before they ever reach a training pipeline.

None of those exist today.

The uncomfortable truth is this: every time you type something into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Meta AI, Copilot, or Alexa, you are contributing to a training dataset. Your medical questions. Your relationship problems. Your financial details. Your uploaded documents.

You are not the customer. You are the curriculum.

And the companies doing this have made it as hard as possible for you to stop.”

So, Lidl are selling their berry bushes. Naturally, I had to get another gooseberry bush, coz you know me and gooseberries.

Even though there is no physical room in my garden for more gooseberries.

This one is Hinnonmaki Green. I’ve not heard as much about it as Hinnonmaki red, but it’s supposed to be sweet when ripe.

And because the fruits are green, I reckon it’ll confuse the blackbirds. Because nothing red or purple stays on bushes for long in my garden.

I also got a bare root Titania black currant.

Although blackcurrants and gooseberries are related and can even interbreed, producing plants like the gorgeous Black Velvet gooseberry that I also have (of course), I traditionally have always must preferred gooseberries fresh off the bush than blackcurrants.

When I was a little girl, Granny grew currants and gooseberries. It was my job to pick both. Little hands with long fingers reaching in between all the gooseberry thorns to victoriously pluck out the fruits with minimal bloodshed. In case you hadn’t realised, picking gooseberries is a sort of battle that you’re better off going into properly protected.

Picking blackcurrants, on the other hand, is a piece of cake. No thorns there. Just the strange aroma of cat p*e from the leaves. Yes, it is kind of odd and unexpected. No, the berries don’t actually taste of cat p*e. Thank God.

Granny made jam with the blackcurrants. Lots and lots of jam. And it was delicious on bread, on toast, white or Granny’s homemade wheaten.

Naturally, I now can’t eat gluten and haven’t regularly since about 2010. And I don’t replace bread with gluten-free options (you shouldn’t either, because goddamn oxalates and processed garbage).

So, I’m really interested in eating the fruit directly off the bush. Or occasionally stewing it without added sugar as an accompaniment for fish or meat.

This Lidl blackberry bush is a Titania variety. One that’s meant to be good enough for fresh eating. Probably considerably better than the ones I grew up eating. I guess we’ll see.

What fruits, if any, do you grow and why?

03/03/2026

You spent years drinking the dark, green blood of the earth. The spinach smoothies. The almond flour baking. You did everything "right," only to realise those very foods were quietly flooding your system with oxalates.

When the realisation hits, you are handed a lifeline: a sprawling, magnificent spreadsheet of food values. You are told to calculate a careful 5-10% reduction every week to avoid the terrifying physiological crash of oxalate dumping.

It is brilliant data. It is also an impossible ask.

How exactly are you supposed to perform daily calculus when your mitochondria are sputtering like wet matches? When brain fog sits behind your eyes like thick tar?
You don’t have the cognitive budget for it.

So you either abandon the tracking entirely because the friction is too high, or you slash your intake overnight out of sheer desperation and trigger a massive dump. A new kind of hell opens up.

Healing is already a labyrinth. You shouldn't have to walk it whilst carrying a calculator.

I am exploring an idea to solve the maths problem. I want to build a quiet, digital tool that handles the taper for you. No visual clutter. No alarms. Just a gentle algorithm designed specifically for days when every tap on a screen costs energy.

Before a single line of code is written, I need to know the exact topography of your daily struggle. I need to know what breaks your brain on a Tuesday afternoon when you are just trying to figure out what to eat.

If you have two minutes, there is an anonymous, six-question survey at the link below. Your insights will dictate exactly what we build.
👇 Take the short survey here:
https://www.thefoodphoenix.com/tracking-oxalates-without-spreadsheets/

We have to stop expecting exhausted people to push through impossible friction to get well. Thank you for trusting me with your reality.

Now, go fill out the survey, close the app, and get some rest.

Did you know that the changes in cause-specific mortality that you see in drug studies are pseudoscience?

Cause-specific mortality figures mean that a study claims that it knows what precise disease or conditions a person dies from. Like did they die from a heart attack, a stroke, cancer, a pulmonary embolism, drug side effects, a fatal arrhythmia, severe electrolyte disturbances, infections, accidents, malnutrition, etc.

Drug companies claim their drugs reduce cause-specific mortality rates. For example, they’ll publish studies on people on lipid lowering drugs and tell you that fewer people die from heart attacks in the lipid lowering arm.

But how do they know?

Where do they get the cause of death from?

It turns out that they use death certificates most of the time.

And the drug industry hires a panel of experts to look at the data and launder it.

The problem is that most patients don’t die in hospitals just after a scan and sets of blood tests have been run. They tend to die out of hospital and usually unwitnessed.

Sometimes, the death is expected because they’ve been suffering from cancer (this is getting far too common) or some other condition they’re receiving palliative care for. And sometimes (often, in fact) the treatment itself hastens their demise, but isn’t recorded on the death certificate.

There are now several studies comparing autopsy reports to what doctors write on the death certificates. And the results are brutal.

Doctors’ best guesses are often wrong. And frequently wildly off.

They underestimate heart attacks in patients who’ve had them and overestimate them in other patient groups.

You can see where this is going, can’t you?

Because most doctors believe that high LDL cholesterol levels result in heart attacks, when a patient suddenly drops dead in this study with a normal-high cholesterol, the doctor records the death as a heart attack.

Say you have two patients. With identical backgrounds: type 2 diabetes, on metformin, hypertension on an ACE inhibitor and beta/blocker, obesity on Wegovy, lansoprazole for their reflux disease, and a sleeping tablet.

One is in the experimental arm and their LDL and total cholesterol falls to that of a teenager.

The other is in the placebo group with an LDL and total cholesterol the doctor is conditioned to think is “high” and increasing their heart attack risk.

Everything else about them is identical.

They both are found dead at home.

The doctor writes heart attack on the death certificate of the patient with “high” LDL and complications of diabetes on the other.

The results get recorded in the study. The lipid-lowering drug reduced the rate of heart attack.

No autopsies were done.

But if they had been…

Both patients would have been found to have died of beriberi (thiamine deficiency) and vitamin B12 deficiency resulting from their high-carb, plant-based diet and complicated by their metformin, Wegovy impairing their appetite, and proton pump inhibitor blocking their digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

Trying to navigate the published literature is a nightmare.

You have to question EVERYTHING. I had to learn this the hard way.

I'm so delighted to have found (or been found by, more accurately) a journalist who's interested in finding out more about gadolinium toxicity. So often, I think journalists view medication side effects and anything related to the pharmaceutical industry as poison chalices or dangerous territory. And, to be fair, I can't really blame them. It takes an inordinate amount of courage to investigate things that the rich and powerful want to keep hidden. So, fair play to any journalist willing to consider exploring the status quo.
