Swimmer's ear? Avoid this ear drop at all costs. Up to 35% of patients are allergic to the neomycin component.
Swimmer's ear presents with severe pain and swelling of the ear. A hallmark sign is that the pain worsens when you pull on the ear. (With a middle ear infection, the pain does not intensify when you pull on the ear.)
Treatment for swimmer's ear - keep water out of it, use antibiotic drops (floxin otic or ciprodex). Sometimes the swelling is so bad that an ENT needs to place a wick in the canal to absorb the drops.
As an ENT, I often see patients put on the drop in the photo who experience worsening of symptoms due to an allergic reaction.

Twenty-five years of working with RNA taught one medical biochemist three things you should never do with it: modify it, stabilize it, or inject it. The mRNA COVID vaccine did all three, and I asked him to walk me through why that's important.

He described RNA as the blueprint of a cell, the instructions it uses to translate into proteins that do the actual work. If that blueprint is modified mid-construction, you don't get the protein you designed. You get fragments, and he said that's what is being produced in the majority of cases after the modification and injection of the spike protein RNA.

The greater danger is reverse transcription. When the RNA template persists in the cell long enough, it can be converted back into DNA. A cell with more DNA than it should have is something every physician recognizes. It's called aneuploidy, and it's a transformed cell. It's cancer.

He told me that, in his assessment as someone who has spent his career studying exactly this biology, the impact of all of this is beyond a disaster.

Most people make healthcare decisions out of fear

We fear the cash price because the bloated insurance faced price is astronomical.

Knowledge replaces fear. Cash prices of labs are usually 10 to 15% the inflated cost.

We are committed to creating smarter buyers that don’t act based on fear.

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

There's an entire criminal industry built around removing pollen from honey.

Why?

Because honey is one of the few foods on Earth that never spoils.

Archaeologists have opened sealed jars in Egyptian tombs after more than 3,000 years and found the honey inside still edible. No refrigeration. No preservatives. No packaging technology. Just a substance so hostile to decay that time itself can't break it down.

The reason connects directly to what's happening in that jar when the bubbles and pollen drift upward.

Honey is a supersaturated sugar solution holding only around 17 to 18 percent water. That tiny water content is the whole story. Bacteria and microbes need available water to survive, and honey is so dense with sugar that it physically pulls moisture out of any cell that touches it through osmosis. A bacterium landing in honey doesn't get infected by it. It gets dehydrated to death. On top of that, bees add an enzyme called glucose oxidase that slowly releases tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide, and the whole substance sits at an acidic pH around 3.9. It's a chemical fortress disguised as breakfast.

Now look at what that density does to the clarification itself.

Honey is roughly 1.4 times heavier than water and absurdly viscous. When wax flecks, air bubbles, and pollen grains rise to the surface, that's not a small thing happening in a thin liquid. Those particles are clawing their way up through a medium so thick it barely flows. They rise because they're lighter than the honey around them, and the honey is so resistant to mixing that once they reach the top, they stay there in a clean layer the beekeeper can simply skim. The same property that makes honey immortal is the property that lets it filter itself. Density does the work that machinery would otherwise have to do.

This is why traditional beekeepers prize settling over forced filtration, and the distinction matters more than most people realize.

When honey clarifies naturally by rising and settling, the pollen comes up gently and can be skimmed without destroying the rest of what's in there. The honey keeps its enzymes, its aromatic compounds, its trace minerals, the living fingerprint of the flowers the bees actually visited. Heat it and force it through industrial micro-filters and you strip all of that out to make it look glassy and uniform on a supermarket shelf.

That stripping has a darker consequence almost nobody talks about.

Pollen is the only way to identify where honey actually came from. Every region's flowers leave a distinct pollen signature, and a trained melissopalynologist can look at the pollen in a jar and tell you the country, sometimes the very valley, it was harvested in. When commercial processors ultra-filter honey to remove every trace of pollen, they're not just changing the texture. They're erasing the honey's birth certificate.

This created an entire shadow industry called honey laundering. Cheap, often adulterated honey from countries facing import tariffs gets ultra-filtered until it's untraceable, then re-labeled as originating somewhere else entirely and sold at a premium. The pollen removal isn't a quality decision. It's an evidence-destroying one. Investigations have found that a startling share of honey on grocery shelves has had its pollen completely removed, which means there is no way to verify it's honey at all, or where it came from.

So the humble act of letting a jar sit while the bubbles rise is quietly the most honest thing that can happen to honey. The slow upward drift of pollen is the honey telling the truth about itself. Filtration, done violently, is how that truth gets deleted.

There's one more layer that makes this almost poetic.

Every gram of that honey represents bees visiting somewhere around 1,500 flowers, and a single worker bee will produce about one twelfth of a teaspoon in her entire lifetime. The pollen rising to the surface is the physical residue of millions of those flower visits. When you skim it gently and keep the honey whole, you're preserving a record of an ecosystem. When you blast it through a filter to make it pretty, you throw that record away.

A spoonful of raw honey isn't just sugar.

It's a sealed, self-preserving, self-clarifying archive of a landscape, written in pollen, built by insects, and capable of outlasting empires.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.

The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.

Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.

Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.

They took until there was nothing left to take.

America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.

And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Not almost unprecedented.

It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.

The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.

Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.

That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.

Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.

No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has blood in its history.

But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.

It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.

When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.

By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.

Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.

The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.

They shaped the modern world.

AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.

1945 was the first test.

AI is the last.

That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.

The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
