"We have no reason to believe 5G is safe" by Scientific American

“…more than 240 scientists who have published peer-reviewed research on the biologic and health effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for stronger exposure limits. The appeal makes the following assertions: “Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.…5G will employ millimeter waves for the first time in addition to microwaves... 5G will require cell antennas every 100-200m, exposing many people to millimeter wave radiation…Millimeter waves are mostly absorbed within a few millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea. Short-term exposure can have adverse physiological effects in the peripheral nervous system, the immune system and the cardiovascular system. The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (ie melanoma), the eyes (ie ocular melanoma) and the testes (ie sterility)…” Read the article here: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/we-have-no-reason-to-believe-5g-is-safe/

Italian study links cellphone radiation to heart and brain tumours

Last year, in spite of the mounting evidence (The BioInitiative Report being one along with the massive federal study conducted over two and a half years by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), I was ridiculed by a Danish doctor for stating that EMF is linked to negative health effects including increased risk of brain tumours. I am a firm believer that when in doubt “The Precautionary Principle” should always be the guiding principle. If we are at all to learn from history, we have seen with both tobacco and asbestos that it took decades and millions of bodies before intervention was finally done. I will never understand why, when we have thousands of studies proving how bad it is for animals, that we fail to apply some cautionary sense to how these things might bare negative impact on humans as well, it seems only logical to be cautious in the interim. Now an unprecedented legal ruling links tumour to mobile phone usage. The court said the research was independent and “unlike some others, was not co-financed by the same companies that produce mobile telephones”.

Treatment of glioblastoma (brain cancer) with herbal medicines

“Forty-eight months after the introduction of phytotherapy, there were no clinical or radiological signs of the disease, in three patients; in one patient, the tumor was reduced and his condition was stable, and one patient lived for 48 months in spite of a large primary tumor and a massive recurrence, which developed after the treatment had been completed. The results achieved in patients in whom tumor regression occurred exclusively through the use of phytotherapy deserve special attention. In order to treat glioblastoma more effectively, it is necessary to develop innovative therapeutic strategies and medicines that should not be limited only to the field of conventional medicine. The results presented in this research paper are encouraging and serve as a good basis for further research on the possibilities of phytotherapy in the treatment of glioblastoma.” Read the full study incl. herbal mixtures here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5809810/ NOTE: I am in Los Angeles March + April - for appointments/lab testing and bookings for workshops/talks etc. contact me.

New research shows promise for detoxing mercury

Mercury is still one of the heavy metals that takes a long time to detoxify with the remedies we know today - that is, if we want to do it safely and not risk redistributing it around our body and brain. Redistribution is a major concern with some of the methods widely used today i.e. DMPS and DMSA along with taking chlorella alone (must always be taken with another thiol-containing substance such as cilantro, as it is not stable for detox purposes taken alone). Important to be aware that approx. 30% of people can't tolerate chlorella very well, which might be due to optimized function of the enzyme cellulase. If you are unable to tolerate chlorella, one might consider adding an enzyme with cellulase in it to help digest the chlorella. Recently more and more studies with chitosan, however, seem to show that this substance may be more effective for mercury. On a sidenote: I will be in Los Angeles March + April, where I can be booked for talks, workshops etc. Check out examples of some of the previous talks I’ve done by clicking right here >>

BPC 157 peptide to combat chronic pain and brain injury

Opioid (painkiller) addiction is one of the greatest epidemics of our time, and luckily America is taking action on this debilitating situation politically, which has been a long time in the making. Did you know that after long-term taking pain-killers in the form of opioids you completely blunt you body’s NAD level? NAD is essential to protect tissues, induce DNA repair, and increase life span. NAD therapy has been seen to greatly reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and opioids. Now what is super interesting here is that the peptide BPC 157 has been shown to be able to regenerate damaged nerves in areas linked to pain i.e. combating chronic back pain for good. This break-through treatment method is making opioids obsolete for pain management. “BPC 157 promotes the ex vivo outgrowth of tendon fibroblasts from tendon explants, cell survival under stress, and the in vitro migration of tendon fibroblasts, which is likely mediated by the activation of the FAK-paxillin pathway.” (1) And also worth noting is, that this peptide has shown promise with regards to brain injury: “Brain-trauma study demonstrated that BPC 157 may preserve consciousness and lower brain edema, decrease the number and size of the hemorrhagic traumatic lacerations, and mitigate the intensity of subarachnoidal bleeding with significantly decreased intraventricular hemorrhage, and diminish mortality [68]. Also in supportive analogy, after contusion, BPC 157 (given locally or intraperitoneally) improved crushed muscle healing, with less post-injury haematoma and edema and a complete restitution of function. “ (2) Read the full studies below and ask your physician about treatment with BPC 157 if you suffer with chronic pain or brain injury.
