"Grounding, or earthing, through activities like barefoot walks or sleeping on earthing products, may offer benefits like reduced inflammation, improved sleep, and stress reduction. #Grounding#Earthing" https://t.co/j5O5jC1JwM
@DocPriyamMD Many doctors prescribe PPIs without explaining how to gradually stop them, resulting in prolonged use and an increased risk of severe nutrient malabsorption.
@DocPriyamMD I think itâs a combination of both prolong fasting and low fats or fats free diets . Sufficient fats consumption when breaking fast should triggers gallbladder related hormones to release more bile preventing stasis .
@NewsBFM Well deserved. Itâs actually very dangerous. Without the guardrail the lorry could turn side way and flipped because the bus hit it front the side .đ«Ą
After almost 4 years of hard work, I'm very happy to share something which I hope will be a game-changer for election data in Malaysia:
https://t.co/hW0OIDm594
To cut a (very) long story short, the site gives you access to Malaysia's COMPLETE electoral history. Every election, every candidate, every party, every seat - all there at your fingertips.
There are 5 types of datasets available:
âą Parlimen/DUN-level results (the 'official' results, covering every single election since 1955)
âą Parlimen/DUN-level maps (covering every single boundary-drawing exercise since 1954)
âą Anonymised individual-level voter rolls for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (more to come soon)
âą Saluran (!!!!) level results for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (also more to come soon)
âą DM-level maps for the latest set (versions going back to 2003 will follow eventually)
Enjoy!
Data-cleaning and curation is bitter work, but once it's done once, everyone can reap the benefits.
A Japanese immunologist just made me rethink one of the most basic prescriptions I give my patients.
Dr. Qing Li has spent over 20 years at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo proving something that sounds too simple to be real: the chemicals that trees release into the air walk straight into your bloodstream, lower your stress hormones, and supercharge your immune system in ways no pill has ever replicated.
Here's the study that stopped me. He took 12 healthy middle-aged men on a three-day forest trip. No intense hiking. No meditation program. Just slow walking â about two hours a day â breathing the air among the trees.
Blood and urine samples before, during, seven days after, and thirty days after.
The results: Natural Killer cell activity â your immune system's frontline defense against cancer cells and viral infections â jumped approximately 50%. The number of NK cells rose. Three critical anti-cancer proteins they release â perforin, granulysin, and granzymes â increased sharply.
The boost didn't vanish when they went home. It was still measurable at day seven. Still partially present at day thirty. Two hours a day among trees upgraded their immune defense for a full month.
He repeated the study with women. Nearly identical results. Then he ran the decisive control: same three-day trip, same walking duration, same hotels, same food â but in an urban environment.
Zero measurable change in NK cell activity. Zero.
It wasn't rest. It wasn't "getting away." It was the forest.
The mechanism is what fascinates me as a physician. Trees release aromatic compounds called phytoncides â particularly α-pinene and ÎČ-pinene â to defend themselves against insects, bacteria, and fungi. These compounds are most concentrated among pine, cedar, cypress, and oak, especially after rain or in warmth.
When you walk among trees, you inhale phytoncides into your lungs and absorb them through your skin. Once inside your body, they directly stimulate NK cell production and activity. Dr. Li estimates approximately 50% of the immune benefit comes from the chemistry of the forest air itself.
Then he proved something even more remarkable. He put subjects in an urban hotel room and vaporized hinoki cypress essential oil through a humidifier overnight. No forest. No nature walk. Just the phytoncides in the air while they slept.
NK cell activity increased significantly. Stress hormones dropped. The trees weren't even there â just their chemical signature â and the immune system responded.
The other half of the effect is your nervous system. Multiple Japanese field studies showed that forest walks significantly lower cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure compared to matched urban walks. Parasympathetic activity â your "rest and recover" system â rises. Sympathetic activity â your "fight or flight" system â falls.
University of Michigan researcher MaryCarol Hunter quantified the minimum effective dose. Just 20 minutes in a natural setting â no phone, no conversation, no aerobic exercise â produced a 21.3% drop in cortisol beyond normal daily decline. The sweet spot was 20 to 30 minutes. Benefits continued after that, just more slowly.
As a cardiologist, this data is directly relevant to what I treat every day.
Chronic cortisol elevation drives hypertension, insulin resistance, visceral fat accumulation, systemic inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction â the exact metabolic storm that causes heart disease. Parasympathetic activation improves heart rate variability â one of the strongest predictors of cardiac resilience and long-term survival.
I just wrote about how your immune system hunts and kills cancer cells every single day without you ever knowing it. NK cells are the soldiers doing that work. And Dr. Li proved that two hours among trees supercharges those soldiers for a month.
I've prescribed statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, GLP-1 drugs, blood pressure medications, and every advanced therapy modern cardiology has to offer. I believe in all of them.
But I can't write a prescription for anything that simultaneously boosts cancer-killing immune cells by 50%, drops cortisol, lowers blood pressure, improves heart rate variability, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and lasts a month â for free.
Except walking into a forest.
The average person now spends over 90% of their life indoors. Cortisol stays chronically elevated. NK cells stay sluggish. The parasympathetic system rarely gets to run. Your biology was shaped over millions of years under a canopy of trees. Modern life put it in a box of drywall and screens.
Your body hasn't forgotten. It's waiting.
What I now tell my patients:
Find any trees. A city park with decent canopy works. Go slow. Breathe deeply. Leave the phone behind. Minimum effective dose: 20 minutes. For the full immune effect: aim for two hours when possible. Once a month maintains the NK cell boost.
The Japanese government has funded forest medicine since 2004. They have certified forest therapy trails and physician-prescribed shinrin-yoku programs. They treat it as evidence-based preventive medicine.
We should too.
This weekend â before the world takes you back â walk into the trees. Feel what your body has been missing.
Nature isn't a luxury. It's medicine your ancestors took for free every single day. And the science now proves what they always knew.
Last week, a 35-year-old male died in my ER because he did everything "wrong" after a snake bite. He followed "movie logic" instead of medical reality.
Here is everything you should know about snake bites and exactly what to do to stay alive. đ§”
Contagion â viral particles. STOP spreading stupidities, please recant!
And for all who read and understand, please do share this post massively - thank you
Here is REALITY!
1. To be infected and get sick - and this si true for ANY germ -one needs to get a certain number of viruses or of bacteria THRU the entry route.
So there is a
- threshold values (ie. the number of particles per unit volume) below which NO disease may occur
- defined entry route for a specific germ
Why is this important to understand ?
Because we live amongst and surrounded by BILLIONS of germ particles at all times.
In each breathing, we have like 1 billion page particles coming in and out of our airways, around teh same with various viruses, and slightly less for bacteria.
We live at all times inside an aerosol of EVERYTHING!
It does not mean that we catch EVERYTHING !
Are we SICK after a few breaths?
Hell NOT!
Hence we have blood borne diseases, water borne diseases or airborne diseases - a disease
2. EBOLA is NOT an airborne disease.
Of course if I were to breathe in right from the exhalation of a dying patient , I will likely get to,
....but it is transmitted via direct physical contacts, blood, secretions, and all infected materials and clothing of a dying patient (that is blood tainted) .
Such transmission occurs in Africa mostly during the vigil of the dead patients or the ancestral rites of burial.
A few days ago, a EBOLA (+) courses was stolen by an angry family from a mortuarium... THIS act alone will spread the virus,. not AIR...
3. Henceforth EBOLA is a self-contained problem, we can have - and we have - a few cases, or MANY cases (like 1000's)
-EBOLA cannot give a PANDEMIC. Because by killing so fast and in a such obvious manner, it cannot spread fast and far... each dead person interrupting a possible chain of transmission.
So ALL those warnings, and posturing, etc.. is PURE political porn.
- And for the EBOLA spreading, if we have 1000's cases around a place, it has logical LOCAL explanations ... this spread REFLECTS the quality of the LOCAL confinement efforts , and public health care.
-.. but, and here is the catch, if WE HAVE several centers of spreading, even in various countries, then it is MORE THAN LIKELY that humans willfully spread this virus to CREATE a large scale ptrobme that otherwise would be impossible.
Note that since a year, several people (biologists, or lab workers) have been CAUGHT at the US border carrying lethal virus into blood samples ! This is not only illegal but HIGHLY suspicious.
We discovered that we really have BLOODY criminals helping viral spread by 'human means'
Hence I would urge YOU - sir - to stop the fear porn, aiding the politicization of Health via this circus... so RECANT!
For all the others who mighty read this post, please share massively ... i have no more patience for useful idiots and malevolent actors online

Hantavirus - cruise ship - and false narratives galore!
My scientific and medical opinion as a scientist who did research on Hantavirus is that an inquiry into Dr Bix is warranted
Please share massively - accurate info -
1. First and foremost we studied Hantavirus in my lab for many many years and published about it.. so what follows is ACCURATE by someone who did THIS!
It is a zoonosis, monitored by many Defense depth, and I was one of those army scientific officers (I was CSO of BE DoD actually, not the copy machine guy!)
Type my name and Hantavirus... and you'll see, non classified peer-review research.
2. This woman (Dr Birx) is âguilty as chargedâ because she was one of the architects of the SARS2 debacle where she forced with her friend (prof Neil Fergusson, Imperial College, London) the policy of ZERO-Covid aka as a suppression policy
ZERO covid for a zoonosis? It was NOT possible, not even a policy.. only a ploy to bring about a technology that was NOT ready to the market (RNA vaccines).
One can NEVER eradicate (= zero covid) a zoonosis when 600 + mammalian species (cattle, all our pets, zoo animals, deers,... even minks...) share a virus with us and may play 'ping-pong' - that is getting it from us, and giving it back to us!
3. Now she is at it again with the same old LIES and misconceptions
Hantaviruses, human-to-human contamination is very rare!
1 - For the EU strains, one gets infected crawling in the woods, and literally inhaling rodent poop/urine (a bit like snorting coke LOL)
-The operational army personnel is at risk because that is part of their training and job!
- It has essentially no lethality... but one can get sick, and can get complications IF NOT TREATED, like a bacterial colonization of our lungs
2 - For the US Strains (sin Nombre, Andes), there is a slight increase in human-human transfer.
- but it remains RARE,
- and requires continuous contact with SYMPTOMATIC people for a while like in a family, or like in a CONFINED room with the HVAC of that cruise ship for exemple (where they kept people in THEIR CABINS for a while - which was the ultimate STUPIDITY!)
- just passing by someone who coughs or giving a hug - like in the case of a flu, will NOT do it.
- mortality nearly only when NON treated.. that is an important point- very important.
Why NO PCR to find out?
The PCR testing can NEVER b used for a fishing trip. Its is because - and it is known for age- , it has a very low PRE-test predictive value.
After SYMPTOMS however, in order to ascertain and/or to differentiate between different pathogens, it is perfectly legit
So systematic PCR will just create FAKE cases, like the 80% false positives obtained for SARS2 during COVID
Contagion?
Hantaviruses have a long incubation period ( a few weeks) but CAN only be contagious with symptoms.... This appear fun general after 15-18 days on average, and are FLU-like.
So before any SYMPTOM -> NO contagion
Vaccines?
NO matter what they tell you, Hantaviruses are ZOONOSIS - so offering a mass protection (useless as I just explained) via a vaccine is
- USELESS
- INEFFECTIVE...
This is true for ANY zoonosis. Because to really mitigate such transmission, vaccinating humans ONLY would be useless!
So vaccines NON needed, and besides especially NOT those RNA-based ones
Treatments exist!
- First of all, we have -when confronted with symptoms- treat those.. like for any flu-like syndrome
- if and when bacterial surinfection arises, antibiotics are in order
- HANTA-specific molecules do also exist
- Ribavirin is an enzyme blocker of the enzyme of the hantavirus...
But there is BETTER!
ANY medication/drug which interferes with the acidification of late endosomes will PREVENT hanta to reach the biochemical interior of the cell ...
and here we find HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE (HCQ) - yep! and it has been published
See here:

Chloroquine, an Anti-Malaria Drug as Effective Prevention for Hantavirus Infections
The author list is Ironic - this come in tempore non suspecto from a lab of one Birx Friends - also responsible for the SARS2 debacle in EU and in Belgium :)
And i want you all to understand the next sentence.
This bug is a NON PROBLEM (see image below), it is pure media manipulation
In Belgium - for example - we have each year between 150 and 350 cases of Hantavirus patients. We do not loose them, and NO one has ever heard about it.. because it is a NON problem!
In the US, with the ANDES strain... one has more chances to die from a lightning strike than for an Hantavirus infection.. in the US roughly 30 cases a year and 10 deaths, lightning strikes 20 deaths per year and several hundred 'cases" per year too.
(And no.. GoF research of this germ is not an easy act... it is NOT a new Hanta, the serology, not the PCR, will prove it...)
So i hereby request that an inquiry into Dr Birx statements be made, her full list of conflicts be researched, and that HHS refers her to DOJ for the spread of FALSE information, with ill intent .. as outlined in this post.

Medication cascade from a single statin prescription:
- Month 1: statin prescribed for a cholesterol number
- Month 3: muscle pain develops (CoQ10 depleted by the drug itself)
- Month 4: NSAIDs prescribed for the muscle pain
- Month 8: liver enzymes elevated (from the statin)
- Month 10: cognitive decline begins (the brain is 25% cholesterol by dry weight)
- Month 12: blood pressure rises (CoQ10 depletion affects heart muscle)
- Month 14: ACE inhibitor added for the blood pressure
- Month 18: fatigue deepens (mitochondrial dysfunction worsening)
- Month 20: antidepressant prescribed for the "low mood"
- Month 24: glucose control deteriorates (statins increase diabetes risk by 30%)
- Month 30: metformin added to the pile
Started with one drug for one number on a chart.
Ended with five drugs managing the side effects of the first drug. Each one billed to the NHS or your insurer. Each one a recurring revenue line for life.
The original cholesterol number? Lower. The patient? Worse in every measurable way.
Modern medicine, working as designed.
