Bryan Johnson --- Did you hear that China just developed a drug? Guess what it's based from? ! While I'm excited about this new information, and thought you might find it cool - really gets under my skin.

Why? --- This is what Grok pointed out:
"Ethnopharmacology is the scientific study of traditional medicinal practices and plant-based remedies used by indigenous or ethnic groups, integrating folklore knowledge with pharmacological validation to identify bioactive compounds. In the article, grape seed extract—rooted in ethnopharmacological traditions like European folk medicine for its antioxidant proanthocyanidins—forms the basis of China's longevity drug, exemplifying how pharma extracts natural substances for patented synthetics. This invades natural medicine by commodifying age-old holistic remedies, sidelining preventive, whole-plant uses for profit-driven pills that ignore synergies and side effects, potentially eroding cultural knowledge while accelerating biotech monopolies."

Article on China's breakthrough:

Lonvi Biosciences, a Chinese biotech startup has claimed it has developed anti-ageing pills that target zombie cells, that can extend human lifespan.

Mikhaila Peterson Fuller: “I Beat Autoimmunity and Depression by Eating Only Meat”

When she was 7, Mikhaila Peterson Fuller was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
By age 17, she’d already lost a hip and an ankle to the disease.
Sixteen years of immunosuppressants, injections, antidepressants, and stimulants left her barely functioning—mentally and physically shattered.

At 23, her health collapsed again: rashes, chronic pain, crippling depression. Out of desperation, she cut her diet back to meat and whole foods. Within two months, her symptoms nearly vanished. She weaned off all medications.

Her autoimmune disease, fatigue, and depression—gone.

Later, pregnancy and withdrawal from SSRIs brought symptoms back.
So she went even further—removing all plant foods. Six months later, remission again.
Attempts to reintroduce plants? Always led to relapse.

Today, thousands in her online community report similar results—people failed by conventional medicine but regaining their health through a meat-based diet.

She points out:
– The ketogenic diet has treated epilepsy since the 1920s.
– Alzheimer’s is being termed type 3 diabetes, driven by carbs.
– One in five Americans now has an autoimmune disease.
– One in six takes psychiatric medication.

Fuller argues our chronic illness crisis began when we abandoned ancestral food: red meat, fat, and simplicity.
She calls the demonization of meat “one of the greatest nutritional blunders in history.”
Studies linking red meat to disease, she notes, were based on populations eating sugar, seed oils, and processed foods—not steak.

In Kenya, adding meat to children’s diets raised test scores by 45%.
Women owning livestock gain freedom, food, and income.
And ruminant meat, she says, “is the only single food that can sustain human life without supplementation.”

The first Harvard study on the carnivore diet (published by Oxford University Press) shocked researchers:
– 90% reported improvement across all conditions.
– Over 80% of diabetics stopped all medication, including insulin.

For Mikhaila Peterson Fuller, it’s not a trend—it’s survival.
And she believes radical dietary simplicity could hold the key to reversing chronic disease, mental illness, and metabolic decline—before we usher in a lab-grown food future built on mistakes.

These are just SOME of the reasons why I started studying and also got into mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy!

As people increasingly seal their homes for winter, moth infestations become a growing concern. While are a popular remedy, they pose serious health risks:
> Toxic chemicals (naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene) can cause nausea, headaches, and liver damage with prolonged exposure.
> Highly dangerous for children and pets if ingested.

Safer alternatives:
> Cedar blocks or lavender sachets
> Vacuuming and freezing infested items
> Airtight storage containers

More info:

Clothes moths can be a real problem in clothes made from natural fibers (especially wool). To combat this, use moth balls. But first, read this article to find out what moth balls are made of and whether they are harmful to your health.

Rich Water - Top 10 Benefits of this easy at-home therapy:

🧬 1. Potent Selective Antioxidant

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is a selective antioxidant, meaning it neutralizes only the most harmful free radicals, such as:

• Hydroxyl radicals (•OH)
• Peroxynitrite (ONOO–)

Unlike high-dose antioxidant supplements (like Vitamin C or E), molecular hydrogen doesn’t interfere with beneficial reactive oxygen species (ROS) used for normal cellular signaling.

👉 This helps reduce oxidative stress without disturbing redox balance.

💢 2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Hydrogen water has been shown to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB).
This helps in:
• Reducing chronic inflammation
• Supporting conditions like arthritis, metabolic syndrome, and neuroinflammatory diseases

🧠 3. Neuroprotective & Cognitive Support

Hydrogen can cross the blood-brain barrier and has shown benefits in:
• Reducing neuroinflammation
• Protecting neurons from oxidative damage (e.g., in Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s models)
• Supporting mental clarity and reducing brain fog in chronic illness or fatigue

Clinical trials in Japan and Korea have shown improvement in cognitive function and fatigue in patients with mild cognitive impairment and chronic fatigue syndrome.

❤️ 4. Cardiovascular Protection

Hydrogen-rich water helps:
• Improve vascular endothelial function
• Reduce LDL oxidation
• Decrease lipid peroxidation
• Support blood pressure regulation (via nitric oxide modulation)

👉 Some animal and human studies suggest it may help in preventing atherosclerosis and improving post-exercise recovery in athletes.

🏋️ 5. Exercise Recovery & Performance

Hydrogen water reduces muscle fatigue, lactic acid buildup, and DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).
Athletes often report:
• Faster recovery
• Better endurance
• Less oxidative stress after intense exercise

🩸 6. Metabolic and Mitochondrial Health

Hydrogen supports cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) and improves mitochondrial efficiency.
It may also:
• Improve glucose metabolism
• Enhance insulin sensitivity
• Help manage metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

🌿 7. Anti-Allergic and Immune Modulating Effects

By regulating immune signaling, hydrogen may reduce allergic reactions and autoimmune flare-ups through:
• Balancing Th1/Th2 immune responses
• Inhibiting excessive mast cell activation

🧴 8. Skin and Anti-Aging Benefits

Hydrogen water (both oral and topical) has been shown to:
• Improve skin hydration
• Reduce UV-induced damage
• Support collagen preservation
• Decrease inflammation-related aging markers

Some aesthetic clinics use hydrogen-infused facials or topical solutions for oxidative stress reduction in skin cells.

☣️ 9. Protection Against Toxins and Radiation

Research suggests hydrogen-rich water can protect against:
• Drug-induced toxicity (e.g., chemotherapy side effects)
• Radiation damage
• Heavy metal–induced oxidative stress

This makes it useful in detox and integrative oncology contexts (under practitioner supervision).

⚖️ 10. General Homeostasis Support

Hydrogen appears to modulate key cellular signaling pathways (like Nrf2, NF-κB, and AMPK)—helping restore homeostasis in multiple body systems.

⚗️ Practical Use

• Dose: ~1–2 liters/day is common in studies.
• Best form: Freshly generated hydrogen water (not stored too long, as H₂ dissipates quickly).
• Delivery: Tablets, generators, or magnesium-based hydrogen sticks.

Caution: Avoid aluminum-generating tablets (they can release unwanted metals).

What a wild ride... I've been diving into since the tail end of the . Feeling ancient yet? 💀🤣

Maybe it's time for some natural options? 😉

and more...
