Dr. Paul Ling is a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Virology at Baylor College of Medicine. He also serves as an advisor to Colossal Biosciences. Following the death in 2010 of a 2-year-old elephant at the Houston zoo due to elephant endotheliotropic herpes virus (EEHV), Dr. Ling formed a cooperative effort with the zoo and others within the community to address this highly lethal disease. Thanks to this partnership and significant funding from the Houston zoo, a mRNA vaccine was successfully introduced last year to a few vulnerable individuals at the Cincinnati zoo.  Other key partners in the development of diagnostics, therapeutics and ultimately, the vaccine include: Dr. Jeroen Pollet of the National School for Tropical Medicine, the International Elephant Foundation (IEF), Colossal Biosciences, and the Houston Methodist Center for RNA Therapeutics. https://www.houstonzoo.org/houston-zoo-leads-the-way-in-eehv-research/ Animal Care Software

TWiV explains a cohort study of over one million Danish children which shows no evidence supporting an increased risk for autoimmune, atopic or allergic, or neurodevelopmental disorders associated with early childhood exposure to vaccines with aluminum-base adjuvants, and a study of antibodies induced by mRNA-1273 and NVX-CoV2373 COVID-19 vaccines which show that polyclonal antibodies against a single site on the spike N-terminal domain show immunodominance, high diversity, and limited cross-reactivity, indicating the need to direct antibody responses away from this site.

On this week's Inside Startup Investing, Dr. Nicole Paulk—founder & CEO of Siren Biotechnology—details her AAV gene-therapy “FedEx truck” that can deliver anti-tumor cytokines directly to brain cancers. Early animal data show 86 % complete responses; the FDA has signaled a fast-track path for Siren's first-in-human trial set for 2026. With analog comps like Keytruda earning $30 B a year, Siren's upside—and impact—could be enormous.Highlights include...Why viruses? AAV viruses don't cause disease in humans yet efficiently deliver genetic payloads; Siren re-engineers them to express anti-tumor cytokines.Twin “firsts.” Siren pursues the first AAV-based cancer therapy and the first single virus platform scalable to hundreds of indications.Animal data. >500 mouse models show 86 % complete responses; large-animal pig study indicates strong safety with real-world neurosurgical delivery.Clinical plan. Combined Phase 1/2 trial in adults with recurrent high-grade gliomas targeted for 2026 with potential for rare-disease (orphan) fast-track.Market context. Current SOC for brain tumors is largely ineffective; analogous immunotherapies like Keytruda generate ~$30 B annually.

There's a surge in cases and deaths from H5N1 bird flu in Cambodia - we hear what's the driver and how concerned we should be. Erik Karlsson, Head of Virology at the Pasteur Institute in Phnom Penh and director of the WHO's H5 Reference Laboratory has been watching the uptick.An interstellar interloper has been spotted entering our solar system. Most likely a comet, and possibly visible in the sky, it's just the third such visitor we've ever seen. Josep Trigo of Spain's Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC) and the Catalan Institute for Space Studies is one of many astronomers keeping his eye out.DNA from an ancient Egyptian buried in cave 2,500 BCE, the oldest to date, tell a tale of travelling ancestors, according to research led by Adeline Morez of Liverpool John Moore's University and published in Nature.Also, Corey Allard of Harvard university has been looking at a particular type of sea slug. Published in the journal Cell, the work has been trying to work out how these slugs effectively nurture and manage stolen chloroplasts – stolen from ingested plant cells - within their own bodies. Artfully, they may use these “Kleptoplasts” to dodge periods of food shortage.

This episode features a fascinating conversation with Dr. Kendall Stewart, a pioneer in integrating functional medicine, genetics, and neurology. Dr. Stewart shares his journey from traditional ear, nose, and throat surgery to championing holistic patient care, where nutrition, preparation, and cellular health take center stage in both surgical outcomes and chronic disease management.Key Topics:Functional Medicine Before It Was Trendy:Dr. Stewart reveals his early adoption of biochemistry, nutrition, and immune system support—long before "functional medicine" became a buzzword.Surgery, Preparation, and Recovery:Discover why how you prepare for surgery (and your post-op care) radically affects recovery—and how insurance companies once overlooked the impact of nutrition.Biochemistry, Virology, and Immune System Health:Learn how Dr. Stewart's research background at MD Anderson led him to understand the critical role of boosting the body's immune system, especially in viral illnesses.Integrative Patient Care:From autism to Alzheimer's and chronic sinus issues, Dr. Stewart explains why a whole-body, systems-based approach is crucial for true healing.Nutrigenomics & Genetics in Health:Practical, easy-to-understand insights into nutrigenomics, pharmacogenetics, and how single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) shape our nutritional and medication needs.Inflammation and Chronic Illness:Explore how inflammation connects the immune and nervous systems—and why controlling it can be the KEY to managing everything from anxiety and POTS to migraines and long COVID.Peptides, Mitochondria, and Advanced Recovery:Real-world clinical examples of peptides, exosomes, and nutritional strategies used for surgical recovery, chronic neurological conditions, and inflammation—plus Dr. Stewart's personal recovery journey after knee replacement.What Mainstream Medicine Misses:Why compartmentalizing organ systems fails patients, and how personalized, genetics-driven approaches are reshaping the future of medicine.Prevention and Longevity:The importance of early genetic screening, metabolic testing, and how functional medicine is paving the way for healthier, longer lives.Notable Quotes:"People come to get well—they don't care what you call it, they care how you're going to help them get out of this.""You can't separate the immune system from the nervous system. Inflammation can change you in 10 minutes, chemicals cannot.""Functional medicine is just understanding biochemistry and physiology down to the details—most doctors just forgot."Resources & Links:Follow Dr. Kendall Stewart on Instagram: @coffeewithdrstewartDr. Stewart's Podcast: Coffee with Dr. Stewart Neurobiologics Supplements: neurobiologics.com Connect with the Show:Subscribe to Health, Wealth and The Ultimate Self on all your major podcast streaming platformsFollow us on Instagram @healthwealthultimateself and www.youtube.com/@healthwealthandtheultimate2269Leave a review or share your thoughts—your feedback keeps us growing!If you want to dive deeper into functional medicine, nutrigenomics, or recovery strategies, this episode is a must-listen.#Podcast#HealthPodcast#FunctionalMedicinePodcast#WellnessPodcast#IntegrativeMedicine#BiohackingPodcast#HealthTalk#DoctorPodcast#FunctionalMedicine#Nutrigenomics#GeneticTesting#Epigenetics#PersonalizedMedicine#PrecisionMedicine#SNPs#Pharmacogenomics#BiohackingYours in Health,The Health, Wealth and Ultimate Self Team!

⚠️ This is a slideshow, so I strongly recommend watching the video episode.Jamie Andrews and his colleagues have shown that viruses probably don't exist, or if they do, they're not what we believe them to be..The Substack The Virology Controls Studies Project by Jamie Andrews challenges virology and genetic science. It aims to prove virology is flawed through simple control experiments.His team's control studies are simple experiments designed to test virology's claims by comparing samples that should show a virus with ones that shouldn't.For example, they use cell cultures with and without supposed viral material to see if they behave differently, like showing cell damage (cytopathic effects). They also run PCR tests on samples with no virus to check if they still give false positives.The conclusion is that virologists' methods are unreliable because the results often look the same whether a virus is present or not.

A 33-year-old researcher and her 34-year-old boyfriend, both Chinese nationals, were recently charged with allegedly smuggling into America a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, a potential bioterrorism weapon.This recent case is just the tip of the iceberg, says investigative reporter Sam Cooper.He played a key part in uncovering a similar case in Winnipeg, Canada.“A married couple from China had been allegedly—according to the documents we now have access to—working with the highest levels of the Chinese military's bioweapons program in Ebola research,” Cooper says. “They were running, clandestinely, materials from China and connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology into the Winnipeg lab.”For years, Cooper has been at the forefront of exposing Chinese Communist Party infiltration in the West.He is the founder of The Bureau and author of “Wilful Blindness: How a Criminal Network of Narcos, Tycoons, and Chinese Communist Party Agents Infiltrated the West.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Hello and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined by my friend Dr. Peter Petropulos, founder of Rejuvenate Wellness Center. In this episode, Dr. P details his career, from joining the Navy as a Medical Corpsman, moving into the medical school path, and ultimately focusing on traditional medicine, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic and started his own practice.Peter and I discuss the distinguishing characteristics of alternative / traditional medicine relative to western medicine, and how the Rockefellers changed the paradigm of modern medicine to focus on petrochemical, pharmaceutical based interventions. We then discuss problems associated with GMOs, pesticides, and forever chemicals, and the connections between Big Ag and Big Chemical.Next, we discuss the cost benefit analysis conducted by “leaders” of Big Pharma, and their callous decisions to roll out new medicines if their expected drug profits exceed expected litigation payouts. Dr. Petropulos explains why we need to make vaccine manufacturers liable again, after the disastrous decision in 1986 to pass the National Vaccine Childhood Injury Act.From there, we discuss the impact of DDT on paralytic disease, and the connection between the elimination of DDT and the reduction in polio. We consider vaccine orthodoxy, and why people are so afraid to question it, especially as it relates to autism.Dr. Petropulos explains why orthodoxy precludes us from looking for the real etiology of diseases and for real treatments. We ask why safe and efficacious treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were suppressed during the pandemic, but deadly, dangerous interventions like remdesivir, molnupiravir, and ventilators were promoted.Next, we discuss the ruling elites' ties to Malthusian ideology, eugenics, and depopulation. Peter explains the process of virus isolation and genomic consensus, and why these are presumptive and speculative. We consider Dr. Fauci's long history of criminality, including during the AIDS epidemic, and the curious fact that Burroughs Wellcome manufactures both “poppers” and AZT.We then discuss the failures of PCR tests, and why its inventor, Dr. Kary Mullis, has been such a staunch opponent of Fauci for decades. We consider the correlation of flu epidemics and solar maximums, and the deregulating impact of electromagnetic frequency. We then discuss the fear propaganda pumped by the establishment, and the impact of weather manipulation on EMF stressors.From there, Dr. P explains how he has been involved with vaccine safety for decades, and how that connected him to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Children's Health Defense. We consider how the media has been able to enforce vaccine orthodoxy. Dr. Petropulos explains his main hopes for Secretary Kennedy's HHS, including eliminating pharmaceutical advertising, removing indemnity from vaccine manufacturers, and ending the funding of medical schools by criminal NGOs.We then discuss the need for COVID-19 pandemic accountability, and our hopes that Attorney General Pam Bondi will bring justice to the biggest perpetrators of the Plandemic fraud, including Tony Fauci, George Soros and Bill Gates. We then consider the revolution of media and the high caliber of content being produced today. Dr. Petropulos explains how he came around to the MAGA MAHA Alliance, and why President Trump needs to take ownership for the failures of Operation Warp Speed.We then discuss the release of the Epstein files and his connections to intelligence, organized crime, and the elitist class. We consider the use of sexual blackmail as a tool of control and its insidious ties to the occult. We ask what the future has in store for the oligarchy, and discuss why the central bankers need to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.Peter and I then discuss political reform at the state and local level, the future of the Democratic party, and how to end the polarization of politics. Dr. P describes the expansion of Children's Health Defense to Colorado, the spread of information related to vaccine injuries, and the increase in sudden deaths following the COVID “vaccination” program.Dr. P describes the importance of shifting off a mandatory vaccine schedule and the ethical necessity of informed consent. We conclude the conversation highlighting COVID-19 as a moment of awakening for the general public and for influential members of the scientific community.This outro is titled: “Vaxxed & Unafraid”.

Whose lab created SARS-CoV-2? Virologist Dr. Li-Meng Yan says it was “all China.” But Dr. Clayton Baker insists US biolabs at UNC Chapel Hill played a role. A new Brownstone report points at “US virologist Ralph Baric” and alleges damning details that indicate he “engineered the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV-2 in his lab at the University of North Carolina as part of his work in connection with the 2018 DEFUSE funding proposal” first leaked by “Major Joseph Murphy, an employee of US military research agency DARPA, in the summer of 2021…” Dr. Li-Meng Yan is a Chinese virologist with an MD from Central South University and PhD in ophthalmology from Southern Medical University. She hosts The Voice of Dr. Yan on America Out Loud Radio Network and is best known for publishing claims that SARS-CoV-2 originated in a Chinese lab.

In Slovakia, research is underway both in laboratories and even on farms, as scientists work to better understand and combat infectious diseases. One of the most prominent figures in this effort is Dr. Boris Klempa, a virologist at the Institute of Virology within the Biomedical Research Center at the Slovak Academy of Sciences. In our conversation, we discussed his work on zoonotic viruses in Slovakia and beyond, the role of the European Virus Archive, and the ongoing challenge of combating misinformation in science and public health.

Executive Order on Gain of Function Research: President Trump issued an executive order restricting federal funding for gain of function research, which involves experimenting with viruses and pathogens that could potentially trigger a pandemic. The order aims to prevent US tax dollars from funding such research in countries like China and Iran, and strengthens oversight mechanisms to ensure biomedical research is conducted safely. The controversy around gain of function research became prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic, with theories suggesting the virus might have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Self-Deportation Program: The Trump administration introduced a program offering $1,000 and travel assistance to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the United States. This initiative aims to save government resources, as deporting an undocumented immigrant costs approximately $17,000. The program uses the CBP home app for migrants to register and self-deport, with the stipend paid once their departure is confirmed. Trade Negotiations: We mention ongoing trade negotiations between the US and Canada, following Canada's federal elections. President Trump is also engaging in trade talks with China, aiming to address tariffs and improve trade relations. Media Coverage and Public Reaction: We highlight media reactions to Trump's policies, noting that pro-immigration advocates are critical of the self-deportation program. It also mentions the media's struggle to criticize the executive order on gain of function research due to its perceived benefits. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

President Trump just signed another slew of executive orders. The latest is an order to improve the safety and security of biological research in the United States and around the world. Here's what it does. ▪ Ends any present and all future federal funding of dangerous gain of functionresearch in countries of concern like China and Iran and in foreign nationsdeemed to have insufficient research oversight. ▪ Prohibits federal funding from contributing to foreign research likely to causeanother pandemic. ▪ These measures will drastically reduce the potential for lab related incidentsinvolving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses inChina by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology.
