A Round-Up of Anti-Covid Nasal Spray Vaccine and Treatment Research

I'll gamble on that being true.

Does anyone think this is a serious concern? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-06605-w#Sec2

And legitimate doubts that they are genuine! Universal doubtism!

Sub 1mg doses are routinely advocated. Higher doses, of course, are also discussed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd say there really isn't an established standard.

I would suggest calorie restriction instead. Aim for a muscularly-ripped BMI of 21-23. That would be the primary step; nutrient ratios, exercise scheduling etc. can be tweaked secondarily.

Titanium dioxide particles frequently present in face masks intended for general use require regulatory control

I believe beans are ultra-healthy and it's good to eat a variety of them. According to various studies, beans with deeply-colored coatings (eg. red, purple, black) have greater amounts of phytochemicals with anti-cancer/anti-aging potential. See for example: Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities of the Extracts of Twelve Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Endemic Ecotypes of Southern Italy before and after Cooking (2016)

How do you define "pandemic"? Is the flu a pandemic? For a lot of people, Omicron becoming like the flu would signify the (probable) "end of the pandemic". Keep in mind, the flu kills millions every year and deadly new variants appear constantly. From Brian's opinion piece: "Could end ‘emergency phase’ of pandemic", “plausible hope for stabilization” -- I don't see how those very cautious assessments are "delusional". Unless more severe variants appear, they will likely turn out to be true. No one is predicting that Omicron will be the last variant. And the author never explains what he means by "get out of this". Would the appearance of milder/more transmissible variants qualify as "getting out of this"? Increased N95 mask availability. Yes. Increased global vaccine/treatment availability. Yes. But "measures to actually curb transmission"? What measures? The author, makes sure not to tell us . More government mandates? Lockdowns? Heightened authoritarian state surveillance and control? What?? And yet nowhere in his opinion piece does the author identify the key obstacles to global vaccine availability, let alone concrete steps to overcome them. He certainly avoids evaluating the WHO's recommendations:

Big buckwheat fan also! See info here:

Thanks, timestamps are definitely helpful. Looks like an interesting discussion on the different theories of aging. So far, I've found Gustavo Barja's "Towards a Unified Mechanistic Theory of Aging" to be a compelling approach. I was able to download the full pdf previously, but it's no longer available for free it seems. See some excerpts and a graphic in my post here (scroll down).

Selenium and human health (2012) The Lancet A U-Shaped Relationship Between Selenium Concentrations and All-Cause or Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With Hypertension 2021 Association of selenium levels with the all-cause (A) and cardiovascular mortality (B) performed by restricted cubic spline analysis.

What are the pros of excessive selenium intake?

Alan, the link you provide is the same as Matt's.

It can from both, in my view. And quite often an increase in muscularity is accompanied by some increase in adiposity. Of course, individuals vary, and there are many interacting factors that can yield differing results.

Being overweight can increase stress on tendons and joints, as well as the tendency for inflammation.

I'm so friggin' cynical! Lol! I'm sticking with elderberry wine for now!

A PCR test is used to detect simply the presence of viral genetic material in an individual. So how is a PCR test result the " final product of what the body does or does not do to fight the virus"?

Speaking of energetic septuagenarians: French adventurer, 75, dies in attempt to row across the Atlantic Jean-Jacques Savin, a former paratrooper, wanted ‘to laugh at old age’...

Wow! Amazing for someone THAT friggin' old!! Lol!

Israeli trial, world’s first, finds 4th dose ‘not good enough’ against Omicron

EU regulators warned that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible

34:09 Omicron and long COVID, immune escape, boosters, new vaccine types, need for a pan-variant vaccine, new treatments, future prospects etc. Earlier discussion about CDC missteps, school closures, omicron transmissibility, use of rapid tests, the "inevitabiity camp" etc.

Yeah, good luck, Gordo. Hopefully a mild case.
