How to cleanse your blood naturally...

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Ozzy Osbourne (RIP) got sued by fans' parents who said his songs made their sons commit suicide.

Today we hear SOCIAL MEDIA hurts kids' mental health.

Will we find out social media's fine, just like music?

@cjferguson1111 thinks so:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

"If your kids went through puberty on social media, they came out different."

Because of smart phones, says @jonhaidt, kids see friends less.They stare at screens, all alone. It causes mental illness.

I confront him: "Some say the data don't support your theory."

His response:

Daily Cialis (tadalafil) use reduces all-cause mortality by 30%

📊 Meta-analysis of 1.2 million men:

🔽 22% fewer heart attacks & strokes

✅ Highest users = up to 55% lower CV risk

🧪 Mechanism: better endothelial function, nitric oxide, and lower platelet stickiness.

Long COVID may stem from persistent microclots and endothelial damage, disrupting lung perfusion and triggering systemic fatigue.

This thromboinflammatory state can evolve into pulmonary hypertension and multi-organ dysfunction.

COVID-19 Hijacking of the Host Epigenome: Mechanisms, Biomarkers and Long-Term Consequences

🔥Fascinating Russian study, probably an eye-opener for many!

😧COVID hacks our gene switches, worsening infection and sparking long(-term) COVID inflammation.

➡️"There is a growing body of evidence pointing towards the diverse roles of epigenetic alterations in COVID-19 severity."
➡️"The pathogenesis of COVID-19 extends far beyond the initial viral infection, revealing a complex and dynamic interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and the host."
➡️"The virus affects the body both directly, by modifying signaling cascades, chromatin accessibility, and methylation, and indirectly, by altering immune system function."
➡️"This is evidenced by the establishment of trained immunity in myeloid progenitors and widespread epigenetic drift across diverse cell populations, from nasal epithelium to peripheral blood cells."
➡️"These alterations disrupt critical pathways, including ciliary function in the airways, interferon signaling, and coordinated immune activation, thereby dictating disease severity and clinical outcomes."
➡️"Such epigenetic alterations could be the basis of the phenomenon of long COVID."
➡️"Epigenetic age acceleration and telomere attrition correlate strongly with disease severity and mortality, suggesting that the viral-induced cytokine storm and cellular senescence lead to premature aging on a physiological level."
➡️"Furthermore, the persistence of an altered epigenetic landscape in immune and tissue-resident cells weeks and months after the acute infection has resolved offers a mechanistic explanation for chronic symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and respiratory issues."
➡️"These findings shift the perspective of COVID-19 from an acute respiratory illness to a systemic condition with deep and lasting molecular imprints."( =been telling you this for years now!)
➡️"The identification of highly specific epigenetic signatures, such as the EPICOVID marker set, underscores the potential of epigenetics not only as a powerful predictive biomarker for stratifying patient risk but also paves the way for understanding the molecular basis of the disease and gives promise for the development of new therapeutic approaches."
➡️"Future research is needed to determine the duration and longitudinal dynamics of epigenetic alterations and to translate these epigenetic insights into effective treatments that can address both the acute and chronic phases of COVID-19.

‼️So, COVID-19 virus hijacks our genes' "on-off" switches—without changing DNA itself—to make infections easier, symptoms worse, and long COVID more likely. It quiets immune defences for viral spread, reprograms blood cells for lasting inflammation, and leaves telltale gene marks like AIM2. Targeting these may unlock better treatments. Avoid SarsCoV2/reinfections!

[Tesla Dude “Final Boss” @StevenWate91203]

This is awesome!

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Joseph of Arimathea took down a corpse.

Hands still sticky with blood.

Skin already cold.

Touched death. Held it. Wrapped it.

Became ceremonially unclean for Passover.

For a dead man.

Here's what most Christians miss about the burial of Jesus:

Joseph was a wealthy man. A member of the Sanhedrin. A respected Jew.

And Passover was 3 hours away.

The holiest day of the year.

But he climbed Golgotha anyway.

Jewish law was clear:

Touch a dead body = unclean for 7 days.

Can't worship. Can't celebrate. Can't enter the temple.

Joseph knew this.

He'd spent his entire life following these laws.

But Jesus was still hanging on that cross.

Picture it:

The crowds are gone. The soldiers drunk. The women weeping.

Joseph approaches Pilate—the man who just murdered his Lord—and asks permission.

"Can I have the body?"

Pilate grants it.

Now Joseph has to actually DO it.

He walks to Golgotha.

Blood-soaked dirt. The smell of death. Three crosses against the sky.

Jesus in the middle.

Still.

Finally still.

Joseph climbs the ladder.

Grabs the first nail.

Pulls.

Feel the weight of that moment.

God's body in your arms.

The blood isn't dry yet.

It stains his expensive robes.

His hands.

Under his fingernails.

He can taste the iron in the air.

This is what obedience looks like.

Messy. Expensive. Permanent.

Nicodemus shows up.

Another secret disciple. Another Sanhedrin member.

He brings 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes.

That's about $150,000 worth of burial spices in today's money.

Two wealthy men. Two cowards until now.

Finally brave when it's already too late.

They work fast.

Sabbath is coming. They have maybe 3 hours.

Wrap the body. Pour the spices. Seal the tomb.

The sun is setting.

Joseph is now officially unclean.

Can't celebrate Passover tomorrow.

Can't enter the temple for a week.

Think about what he just gave up:

His ceremonial purity.

His Passover celebration.

His reputation (everyone saw him bury a "blasphemer").

His position (the Sanhedrin won't forget this).

His safety (Romans might come for disciples next).

All for a dead man.

But here's what most Christians miss:

Joseph didn't do this expecting resurrection.

He did it expecting NOTHING.

Jesus was dead. Gone. Finished.

This wasn't faith in resurrection.

This was love for a corpse.

That's the part that wrecks me.

Joseph touched death—literally—knowing it meant giving up everything.

Not because Jesus promised him anything.

But because Jesus deserved honor even in death.

Modern Christianity wants clean obedience.

Safe obedience.

Obedience that doesn't cost you Passover.

But Joseph shows us something different:

True discipleship gets your hands dirty.

You want to follow Jesus?

Then stop avoiding the messy parts.

Stop waiting for clean opportunities.

Stop demanding that obedience be convenient.

Joseph climbed Golgotha when everyone else went home.

He wrapped a corpse when he could've stayed clean.

He missed the holiest day of his life to honor a dead "criminal."

He risked everything when there was no visible reward.

That's not religion.

That's worship.

The twist?

Three days later, that tomb was empty.

Joseph gave his grave to Jesus.

Jesus left it empty.

Forever.

Joseph thought he was burying God.

He was actually setting the stage for resurrection.

Your messy obedience?

God's using it too.

Even when you can't see it.

So here's the question:

What are you avoiding because it's too messy?

What obedience are you postponing because it's inconvenient?

What grave are you unwilling to give?

Joseph of Arimathea held death in his arms.

Got blood on his hands.

Missed Passover.

Lost his reputation.

And earned his name in all four Gospels.

Religion says "stay clean."

Discipleship says "get dirty."

Joseph chose discipleship.

What are you choosing?

Saskatchewan scientists screened the entire human genome and found four approved drugs: donepezil, dihydroergocristine, trametinib, and sorafenib that block SARS-CoV-2.

Three also stopped common cold coronaviruses, suggesting broad antiviral potential.

Researchers studied 100 people 10 months after COVID-19.

Urine tests revealed 195 unique peptides, mostly from collagen, that clearly distinguished those with long COVID.

New marker, called PASC195, may improve diagnosis and guide treatment.
