The wave of covid cases of the omicron variant continues to spread worldwide, and the covid-19 vaccines (and boosters) clearly aren't preventing infection and spread of it. Only one kind of monoclonal antibody treatment, Sotrovimab by GlaxoSmithKline, tends to be effective against this variant, though it's in short supply. Vitamin D levels need to be …

The pandemic restrictions continue to stress people around the globe. Ubiquitous, cheap testing for individuals is still not being offered, though some rapid-antigen tests have become available (at higher prices). Speculations about SARS2 originating from the Wuhan bat coronavirus lab gain more evidence. The mainstream perspective on covid-19 vaccine safety has continued to neglect those …

Centralized, top-down organizations continue to forward vaccines at the exclusion of viable solutions, regardless of costs. Higher viral load found with Delta variant of SARS2. Israel evidenced more breakthroughs in vaccinated persons; booster shots seem to provide further immunity. FDA approves the Pfizer vaccine beyond the EUA designation, with long-term safety data still yet to …

The CCP in China remains opposed to any thorough investigations of the origins of SARS2, which isn't surprising given the nature of that domination system. Joe Rogan had an “emergency podcast” about nonsensical YouTube take-downs, public health corruption and controversies, and ivermectin. Governmental systems such as the FDA and its Emergency Use Authorization for Covid-19 …

Riffing on the last episode with Robb Wolf, we explore more of the misguided perspectives of the corporate-model of farming and ranching, followed by the viable and sustainable solutions to providing nutrient-rich food for humans. While the vegan, or anti-meat, agenda has a multiplicity of mistaken notions, some aspects of it do recognize major problems …

Returning guest (from 11yrs ago!..linked below) Robb Wolf is author of The Paleo Solution, Wired To Eat, and co-author of Sacred Cow. We discuss the nature of futurism and how increased longevity, even indefinite lifespans, will likely remain in the realm of science fiction, due to the complexity of biological systems, especially the human brain. …

Vaccine development and vaccinations for covid-19 continue, as the pandemic massively affects India. Hopefully intranasal vaccines, as explained in episode 150, will come to market sooner rather than later. The coronavirus spike protein has been shown to damage tissues, and scientists note that covid-19 is primarily a vascular disease. Apparently, despite some controversy (see in …

While the Olympics in Tokyo are scheduled this summer, only the athletes and local spectators will be allowed entry. Japan’s vaccine rollout has been minimal thus far. In America there’s a chance that covid-19 tests will become available over the counter, though still via the command-and-control FDA process. Author of a new book called Just …

Can “immunity bubbles” be created through testing? It depends on the nature of the rapid-antigen tests being used and whether they are able to detect asymptomatic infectious persons. Clearly, not using a bottom-up approach to implement widespread and cheap testing has caused more pandemic problems and costly governmental reactions. Relatedly, with nearly all the focus …

In this episode Kevin joins in the fun! In addition to addressing healthy blood test results, we discuss a range of issues, from the seeming slow pace of anti-aging biotech (Aubrey de Grey!), the misguided trend of veganism and ongoing false nutritional information, to mistaken notions of empathy within domination systems (such as governmental schooling). …

Once again, we need widespread rapid antigen testing (for all individuals, not just “authorized” clinics) and engineered nanobodies (AeroNabs) and lipopeptides to end the pandemic. Of course, governmental restrictions and vaccinations are being provided instead, which represent the top-down organizational model that presumes to be in charge of “public health.” Unsurprisingly, this flawed model has …

In this episode we explore the realm of medical and nutritional dogmas, which we’ve of course covered in the past, yet they continue to mislead and prevent helpful strategies. Turns out, sitting is not the new smoking; occasional movement is key to preventing inflammation. Strength training as we age can forestall sarcopenia. Apparently, before the …

In this shorter episode we note the upcoming low-carb conference (online), which will offer a lot of useful information about achieving metabolic health and well-being. Our physical health remains vital as the pandemic continues, since governments are still hindering highly useful decentralized solutions (namely, inexpensive rapid antigen tests and engineered antivirals). I then list all …

In this episode to round out 2020, we focus on a way to end the pandemic via making cheap rapid antigen tests widely available to individuals (sans prescriptions), so everyone can be informed and empowered (instead of being told what to do by so-called “authorities”). Unfortunately, the medical establishment tends to resemble an unhealthy system …

Amidst the highest number of SARS cov-2/covid-19 cases in America and tragic fatalities during the pandemic, potent antivirals from UCSF (YT link below) and Columbia, for instance, could end the needless suffering and restrictions rather quickly. Meanwhile, RNA vaccines tend to be the main focus by institutions, both corporate and governmental; such top-down structures sacrifice …

We’re of course still being challenged by the pandemic and the fear-based and control-ridden responses to it by governments. The tragic Covid-19 fatalities are still considerably lower than during the 1918 Spanish flu, yet so much fear, suffering, and death can be stopped by widespread distribution and use of ingenious, potent antiviral inhalers (links provided …

Treating our bodies well with optimal nutrition (lower carb/keto, Primal/Paleo/Carnivorish) can help a lot during this trying pandemic. Engineered nanobodies, which are both relatively inexpensive and easy to produce, are being reported on more now, since UCSF promoted AeroNabs unprecedented potency against SARS CoV-2 (way more potent than vaccines, and potentially safer). Let’s hope they …

The governmentally imposed restrictions during the pandemic have taken a major toll on people’s health and well-being. Updated scientific information reveals that contact with surfaces exposed to this coronavirus aren’t as much of a risk as airborne particles. Once again, AeroNabs and possibly other synthetic peptides can serve as ingeniously potent PPE to end the …

We cover the latest in the Covid-19 saga, including Trump’s treatments, which appear to assist in recovery. Once again, the coercive organization known as the FDA stands in the way of companies bringing potentially helpful products and services to market, as customers desire. While vaccine development is ongoing, many questions remain about its long-term efficacy. …

As America reaches a (reported) death toll of 200,000 from Covid-19, we still need bottom-up solutions such as AeroNabs to be highlighted by the media and brought to market. There’s still some hope for that in the video linked below. Cultivating an attitude of relaxed, confident benevolence is a real psychological challenge for parents as …

Once again, bringing AeroNabs to market needs to be prioritized along with ubiquitous testing (including at home), so society can return to some semblance of normalcy. Top-down command-and-control institutions hinder this process and thwart new innovations and their implementation. America needs to revitalize its bottom-up can-do spirit! We can honor our capacity for achievement and …

As this coronavirus pandemic and the varying governmental restrictions drag on (still with inadequate personal testing and problematic contact tracing), many still hope for an effective (and safe) vaccine to get us out of this mess. However, scientists at UCSF have recently created a much easier, cheaper, and safe way: an antiviral treatment that totally …

Many months into this pandemic, we’re still experiencing the unfortunate effects of coercive systems trying to deal with the spread of sars cov2. These systems not only can create backlash, but they also forestall adequate testing (both molecular and serological). So, in the meantime wear masks in crowded places and maintain your nutritional health and …

The Low-Carb San Diego Keto Conference is happening online next month, which will offer lots of helpful information about nutrition and health, something especially vital during this ongoing pandemic. On the psychological side of life, be sure to check out the talks below by two prominent trauma researchers. Since we are biological beings, fear is …

To cultivate healthy minds, we need to achieve clarity about a lot of systemic issue. As we do, we can actualize our potential, seeking to meet needs for enriching connection, intrinsically motivating purpose, and profound meaning. Unfortunately, our culture largely promotes an ethics of sacrifice, so integrating one’s authentic Self can be challenging amidst ideas …

We really need systems involving free minds and free markets to remedy the unjust systems that continue to diminish people’s lives and well-being throughout society. Power-over strategies tragically run deep in present systems, from families to governments. Empathetic understanding remains vital, along with the pillars of self-esteem, as well as Teal organizational practices. Domination systems …

In times of major societal stress, like today, it’s vital to practice self-acceptance, self-empathy, and self-compassion. Currently, America is trying to make sense of and deal with systemic injustices involving racism that stem from the time of slavery. Needs for respect, choice, and justice have been sacrificed. The punishment paradigm remains a major deleterious factor. …
