    PUFA metabolites (prostaglandins) drive "flu" pathology

    A highly relevant study in light of the recent (and apparently, still ongoing) COVID-19 pandemic, which not only casts doubt on the official story about how infectious disease develops, but also its treatments and public health response. The study below demonstrated that prostaglandins - the...

    Blocking endotoxin (TLR4) may prevent death from viral infections (COVID-19/ARDS)

    Almost a decade ago I posted about a "rogue" study which had the audacity to suggest that most of so-called viral infections (including HIV) produce most of their most severe symptoms not through the virus or its direct effects, but through synergism with the bacterial endotoxin (LPS) that we...

    Endotoxin, cold, flue increase risk of dementia

    I am posting this study not so much because of the link between chronic low-grade inflammation and neurological conditions it demonstrates. That link is by now well-known even in mainstream medical circles. The main reason this study/article caught by eye is that the experiment mimicked the...

    Long-Covid incidence, severity no worse than post-influenza syndrome

    As most people around the world witnessed, one of the key reasons authorities provided for the draconian lockdowns and (semi)mandatory vaccination programs imposed on people was the risk of not only getting COVID-19 and dying from it, but also the high (we were told) risk of developing so-called...

    Omicron up to 100 times less deadly than delta variant

    This article basically says, omicron is about as deadly as the flue and might be up to a 100 times less deadly than the delta variant. How would you justify any of the lockdowns and mandates if this turns out to be true ? And surprisingly one person in the article asks the same question...

    Where did the FLU go?

    Did covid cure the flu? From the CDC influenza website, here are the influenza like illness activity levels for Feb 2018: Here they are for this past Feb: And here you can clearly see flu coded deaths were non existent for 2020-2021 flu season: They have begun doing PCR testing for both...

    Androgens (T, DHT) highly protective against the flu

    A gem of a study that throws a wrench in one of medicine's core dogmas - i.e. androgens have detrimental effects on the immune system and males have evolved to live with a trade-off between high androgen levels (and as such high fertility) and higher risk of severe viral episodes that can be...

    Role Of Vitamins A And D In The Pathogenesis Of Influenza: A New Perspective

    I wanted to share some really great quotes from this paper: Role of Fat-Soluble Vitamins A and D in the Pathogenesis of Influenza: A New Perspective There is so much juicy info in this article I encourage everyone interested in learning about vitamin A and D to read it! I think this has many...

    The Tetracyclines Protect Against Sepsis Independently Of Their Antibiotics Effects

    A remarkable study, which demonstrates that not all antibiotics have been created equal. Namely, the tetracycline family of antibiotics is strikingly protective against lethality from sepsis, and that protection is completely separate from their antibiotics effects. For example, the study...

    Was World War I The "Real" Cause Of The Spanish Flu Pandemic?

    Since seeing the news about the Corona Virus in Wuhan (sometimes being referred to as nCoV-2019, maybe due to the fact that people are realizing Corona Viruses have been around awhile) and the reaction to it, I wanted to dig a little deeper into the last real Pandemic. Well, I dug up a few...

    Interesting Connection Between Mandatory Vaccines In 1901 And 1918 Influenza

    For all the forced vaccinations people endured, death rates from infectious disease in general skyrocketed shortly after, during the 1918 pandemic. I read this interesting series of articles from stanford, and evidently the infkuenza outbreak began in military camps, the first population that...
