New research explains why some minds stay awake at night

why some minds stay awake

  • Insomnia keeps your mind in daytime problem-solving mode at night, which prevents the natural mental drift that helps you fall asleep
  • New research shows that people with insomnia have weaker circadian signals, making it harder for the brain to shift from alert thinking into the dream-like patterns that support rest
  • Sequential thinking stays elevated at night in insomniacs, creating racing thoughts and mental loops that make it difficult to unwind
  • Strengthening your circadian rhythm through morning light exposure, dim evening lighting, and consistent nighttime cues helps your brain recognize when to power down
  • Simple practices such as cognitive shuffling, sensory-based grounding during nighttime awakenings, and daily movement — especially walking — support a clearer day-night contrast and more restorative sleep

Brutal breakfast reality check – Oatmeal or Omelette?

Oatmeal

Dr. Mark Hyman shares a Harvard study that will make you rethink breakfast:

Overweight teens ate the exact same calories in three different meals — oatmeal, steel-cut oats, or omelette.

Result?

Oatmeal group: sky-high insulin, cortisol & adrenaline (like being chased by a tiger) ate 81% more food later.

Steel-cut oats: still 50% more than an omelette.

Omelette group stayed satisfied longest.

Moral: Start your day with protein + fat — not starch or sugar (no muffins, bagels, oatmeal, pancakes…).

Who’s switching to eggs/bacon/avocado tomorrow?

Millions of your mother’s cells persist inside you, and now we know how

Every human born on this planet is not entirely themselves.

A tiny fraction of our cells – around one in a million – is actually not our own, but comes from our mothers. That means each of us has millions of cells that our immune systems would normally recognize as foreign; yet somehow, in most of us, they hang around peacefully without causing any immune problems.

Now, immunologists have figured out why. A small number of maternal immune cells that cross the placenta during pregnancy actively train the fetus’s immune system to tolerate the mother’s cells for their entire life.

The exchange of cells between a mother and a fetus is a well-documented phenomenon that scientists have known about for more than 50 years. It’s called microchimerism, and it goes both ways: every human who has ever been pregnant retains cells from their fetus, and every human retains cells from their mother.

These lingering cells pose a puzzle for immunology, which is built around the idea that the immune system should mount an attack against foreign cells.

A team led by pediatric infectious disease specialist Sing Sing Way of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center wanted to understand more about how these foreign maternal cells keep the immune system in check, and what role they play in shaping the fetus’ immune system.

To find out, the researchers studied maternal microchimerism in mice. Building on their previous studies, the researchers bred mice with immune cells engineered to express specific cell surface markers. This allowed researchers to selectively deplete those cells and see whether or not immune tolerance was maintained.

Here’s where it got fascinating. A small subset of the maternal immune cells, with properties similar to bone marrow myeloid cells and dendritic cells, persisted long after birth. They were also strongly associated with both immune activity and the expansion of regulatory T cells – the cells that tell the immune system that everything is copacetic.

To confirm, the researchers next selectively edited out those specific maternal cells in offspring mice.

The results were dramatic. The regulatory T cells disappeared, and the immune tolerance of maternal cells disappeared.

The implication is that lifelong tolerance to maternal microchimeric cells is probably dependent on just a tiny subset of maternal cells. Take those away, and immune chaos likely ensues. That also means that immune tolerance needs to be continuously and actively maintained; it’s not a one-and-done process during pregnancy.

That’s interesting and exciting in its own right, but the research also offers a way to gain a greater understanding of the broad swath of diseases and conditions to which microchimerism may contribute.

“The new tools we developed to study these cells will help scientists pinpoint exactly what these cells do and how they work in a variety of contexts including autoimmune disease, cancer and neurological disorders,” Way says.

“Microchimerism is increasingly linked with so many health disorders. This study provides an adaptable platform for scientists to investigate whether these rare cells are the cause of disease, or alternatively, found in diseased tissue at increased levels as part of the natural healing process.”

The research has been published in Immunity.

Biopsies Spread Cancer

Biopsies Spread Cancer

Doctors are finally admitting that biopsies Spread Cancer…

“Biopsies are the kiss of death. The needle punches a hole in the tumor, dragging cancer cells & spreading them.”
-– **Dr. Ben Johnson**

“Biopsies introduce cancer cells into the bloodstream.”
-– **Dr. Leonard Gomella**

The body brilliantly self-contains tumors in a protective fibrin sheath, like a hornet’s nest sealed shut.

But a needle biopsy? It shatters that barrier, unleashing cells, toxins & even parasites into the bloodstream & lymph.

What was contained becomes chaos: inflammation surges, immune response distracts & metastasis explodes.

Think of it: Poke the nest, and the hornets scatter everywhere. Cells hitch a ride along the needle tract, seeding new tumors. Local trauma kickstarts growth. The immune system, overwhelmed, lets invaders run wild.

**The Science Proves It – Biopsies Trigger Spread, Inflammation & Seeding:**

– “Biopsy of primary tumors resulted in significantly increased incidence & number of lung metastasis.” (PMID: 25061543)

– “Biopsies promote intraperitoneal tumor dissemination & progression.” (PMID: 23258276)

– “Core needle biopsy of breast tumors increases distant metastases.” (PMID: 25425969)

– “Biopsies lead to tumor cell dissemination & seeding of malignant tumors.” (PMID: 22686607)

– “Human breast cancer biopsies enhance adjacent cancer cell proliferation.” (PMID: 27249999)

**Top Doctors & Experts Sound the Alarm – “Standard Care” Is Harming Patients:**

– “Manipulation of an intact tumor… is associated with an increase in the incidence of sentinel node metastasis.”
– **John Wayne Cancer Institute (2022)**

– “Cutting out a section… endangered the person’s life by aggravating the malignant growth.”
– **Dr. Perry Nichols**

– “Biopsies spread early cancers.”
– **Dr. Jonathan Wright**

– “Biopsies introduce cancer cells into the bloodstream.”
– **Dr. Leonard Gomella**

– “Biopsies cause cancer cells to spread & the risk is higher in certain types of cancers like prostate & kidney cancers.”
– **Dr. Hal Schofield**

– “Biopsies cause cancer to disseminate further into the body & this has serious implications to patient outcomes.”
– **Dr. Robert Nagourney**

These aren’t fringe opinions – they’re from leading voices in oncology. Yet patients walk in blind, without full informed consent on these risks.

**Safer Alternatives: Diagnose WITHOUT Disturbing the Tumor’s Encapsulation**

Skip the needle. Opt for non-invasive tools that map, detect & monitor without the danger:

1. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI): High-res imaging of structure & function. Zero radiation, fully non-invasive.

2. Color Doppler Ultrasound: Real-time blood flow mapping in tumors. No radiation, no tissue damage.

3. Liquid Biopsy (ctDNA/CTC Testing): Simple blood draw detects cancer DNA/cells circulating. No poking required.

4. Thermography: Infrared heat detection spots abnormal patterns early. Painless, radiation-free.

Information crushes fear. It empowers choices. If diagnosed, PAUSE. Research deeply. Question everything. Your intuition knows – rushing is the real risk.

The “cancer industrial complex” thrives on fear & procedures, but it’s overdue for a reckoning. Some “tumors” are actually parasitic egg sacs misdiagnosed as cancer. You CAN shrink & eliminate them holistically.

“Targeting the Mitochondrial-Stem Cell Connection in Cancer Treatment: A Hybrid Orthomolecular Protocol”

Peer-Reviewed Bombshell Papers Reveal mRNA Vaccine Cancer Crisis – Journal Under Relentless Attack as Pharma Scrambles to Silence!

300+ peer-reviewed cases across 27 countries linking mRNA vaccination to rapid-onset cancers

Former Japanese politician Mr Kazuhiro Haraguchi is an 10 times elected House of Representative from Saga’s 1st district, served as Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications under Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama in 2009 overseeing telecommunications, local governance, and regional sovereignty promotion. A member of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, Haraguchi has been vocal on issues like nuclear disarmament and disability rights, authoring books like “Peace.”

In a stunning tweet directed to to Drs. Wafik El-Deiry and Charlotte Kuperwasser, he detailed his harrowing ordeal: compelled to take the mRNA COVID vaccine to attend a global nuclear disarmament conference, he was diagnosed three years ago with aggressive Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), spreading to his tonsils at Stage 2. Never infected with COVID, he achieved remission with help from renowned doctors like Dr. Tess Lawrie. This story is explosive—a high-ranking official, once at the heart of Japan’s government, now exposing vaccine risks amid rising global reports of post-shot cancers. Japanese research institutes tested his extracted tonsil tissues, detecting diffuse spike proteins (vaccine-induced) but no nucleocapsid proteins (virus markers), confirming the shot, not the virus, as the trigger.

Haraguchi reached out because El-Deiry and Kuperwasser’s paper echoed his nightmare, providing scientific backing he sees as heaven-sent validation in his fight against vaccine harms.

Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, born in 1961, is a powerhouse American physician-scientist, Associate Dean for Oncologic Sciences at Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical School, and director of the Legorreta Cancer Center. An American Cancer Society Research Professor—one of just 40 active nationwide—he discovered the p21 gene, a key brake on cancer cell growth, earning him recognition as one of “America’s Top Oncologists.” With over 30 years in oncology, he’s led breakthroughs in therapy resistance, drug discovery for colorectal and other cancers, and chaired global networks like the WIN Consortium for personalized medicine. Formerly Rose Dunlap Professor and Hematology-Oncology Chief at Penn State, then Deputy Director for Translational Research at Fox Chase Cancer Center, El-Deiry’s work has saved lives through innovative treatments.

His voice terrifies pharma—untouchable credentials now dismantling vaccine safety myths.

Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser, Professor of Developmental, Molecular, and Chemical Biology at Tufts University School of Medicine, heads a cutting-edge lab renowned for cracking breast cancer origins, tumor-microenvironment interactions, and hormone-driven risks. With NIH grants fueling organoid models that mimic human breast tissue, her team’s papers in top journals like Nature and Cell advance prevention and therapy. As Chief of Clinical Operations at Naveris (viral cancer detection) and Brownstone Institute contributor, Kuperwasser’s lab is a credibility fortress, blending advanced tech to expose cancer vulnerabilities with real-world impact.

Two recent explosive peer reviewed Oncotarget papers anchor this alarm:

LINK

  • Kuperwasser & El-Deiry (published January 3, 2026): “COVID vaccination/post-infection cancer signals: Evaluating patterns and potential biological mechanisms”. This systematic review analyzes 300+ peer-reviewed cases across 27 countries linking mRNA vaccination (and infection) to rapid-onset cancers (lymphomas 38%, breast/lung 16%, sarcomas, etc.), with tumors emerging days to weeks post-shot. It details biological mechanisms and patterns, plus an El-Deiry solo hypothesis paper on HPV E6 + COVID spike cooperating to suppress p53 tumor protection. These works build on nearly 50 prior publications noting temporal cancer associations post-mRNA vaccination.

LlinkThese Oncotarget papers—especially the January 3, 2026, review by Charlotte Kuperwasser and Wafik El-Deiry documenting over 300 peer-reviewed cases of cancers linked to COVID vaccination or infection across 27 countries—have sparked intense debate.

Just days after these publications highlighted rapid-onset patterns (like lymphomas in 38% of cases) and potential biological mechanisms, the journal’s website faced a serious problem: nonstop cybercriminal DDoS attacks from late December 2025 into January 2026.

What is a DDoS attack, in simple terms?
Picture a busy online store with a few doors. Normally, real customers walk in one by one to browse and buy. Now imagine thousands of fake “customers”—actually thousands (or more) of hacked computers, phones, and devices secretly controlled by hackers—rushing the doors all at once. They clog everything up, block the real customers from entering, and make the store appear “closed” even though nothing inside is broken. The owner loses business, and users get frustrated. That’s a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack: “distributed” because the flood comes from many sources worldwide (often a botnet of compromised devices), and “denial-of-service” because it denies legitimate access to the site. These attacks are relatively cheap to launch but can cause major headaches, lost time, and sometimes big costs to fix.

In Oncotarget’s case, the attacks flooded the servers with junk traffic, making the site extremely slow, unreliable, or completely inaccessible for many users over days or weeks. The journal reported this malicious activity to the FBI as cybercriminal behavior, and as of early January 2026, disruptions continued despite efforts to counter them. This meant people couldn’t easily view or download the controversial papers directly from the official site—they had to email the authors for PDFs instead.

The timing feels too coincidental to many observers: the attacks ramped up right after papers that challenge the established “safe and effective” narrative around mRNA vaccines by pointing to temporal links with aggressive cancers and possible ways the spike protein might interfere with tumor suppression. With trillions of dollars tied to global vaccine programs and public trust, critics argue this looks like deliberate sabotage—temporary censorship through disruption—to limit easy public access to uncomfortable evidence at a critical moment.

Whether it’s targeted interference, a random coincidence, or something else, the effect is real: it hinders open discussion of scientific findings that could affect health decisions for millions.

This incident ties into the larger controversy surrounding PubPeer, an online platform launched in 2012 as a public forum for commenting on already-published scientific papers. Think of it like a global, ongoing “journal club” or discussion board: anyone can enter a paper’s identifier (DOI or PubMed number) and post notes about potential issues—such as duplicated images in lab results, odd data patterns, or possible errors in figures or methods. The goal was to boost transparency in science by allowing continuous, open feedback beyond the traditional private peer review that happens before publication. Anonymity lets people raise concerns without fear of backlash from powerful institutions or researchers, and it has genuinely helped expose real problems, leading to corrections, retractions, or misconduct investigations in some cases.

However, anonymity has a dark side. Critics argue it can enable harassment or “mob attacks,” where groups pile on with endless minor nitpicks—like tiny formatting errors, old transposition mistakes (e.g., swapped numbers), or insignificant image tweaks—that don’t prove fraud or change the core science. These can overwhelm the target, damage reputations, and create the illusion of serious issues without evidence. The platform has moderation (commenters are supposed to stick to verifiable facts), but it’s far from perfect—some claim it’s been “weaponized” against certain scientists while seemingly protecting others.

For Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, this has become deeply personal. After his vaccine-related papers (including the 2024 one on spike DNA suppressing p53-related cancer defenses), he’s endured waves of anonymous PubPeer comments—over 80+ across his 360+ publications, often focusing on decades-old trivial details like gel band duplications or formatting slips. No fraud has been proven after 20+ months of scrutiny, and no retractions have resulted, yet the attacks persist relentlessly: 2-3 per hour on some Sundays, 15+ in a single day during holidays or even his heart surgery recovery. El-Deiry calls it “gish-galloping”—flooding someone with so many points it’s impossible to respond to everything, making silence look suspicious. He attributes this to a coordinated “mob,” including an image analyst with no oncology background, Elisabeth Bik, and has publicly called for FBI involvement while tagging groups like Science Guardians.

In order to fully appreciate what is happening behind the scenes, you must watch this 10 minutes clip courtesy of Science Guardians.

Science Guardians’ video exposé intensifies the scrutiny: they commissioned independent experts to review 17 of Elizabeth Bik’s older papers from her time at uBiome, the gut-testing startup she co-founded that imploded in 2019 after an FBI raid over alleged massive billing fraud. The review uncovered issues like biased or contaminated samples, undisclosed conflicts of interest, unreliable data, mixing human and animal results without proper checks, and overhyped claims without solid evidence (some papers read like promotional content).

When these critiques were submitted to PubPeer, they were censored or deleted within days (some vanished after just 10 days). This apparent double standard—attacks allowed on outsiders like El-Deiry but blocked on insiders like Bik—fuels accusations that the system protects its own while targeting those who challenge dominant narratives, such as vaccine safety.

A reported network of about 30 pseudonymous commenters (some tied to Bik) allegedly compiles nitpick “dossiers,” then amplifies them through blogs, media (with links to journalists at outlets like Science and Nature), and broader funding ecosystems (e.g., Arnold Ventures who supports research integrity initiatives). To many, this isn’t neutral oversight—it’s a double-edged tool: one blade exposes genuine fraud, the other inflicts targeted damage, especially when trillion-dollar pharma interests feel threatened by credible experts like El-Deiry.

In the end, PubPeer was designed to strengthen science through open critique, but events like the Oncotarget DDoS attacks and El-Deiry’s ongoing barrage highlight how it can be twisted into something that looks more like suppression or harassment. When powerful stakes are involved, even temporary barriers to information raise serious questions about transparency, free inquiry, and trust in the systems meant to protect public health.

Anyway, as the veil lifts on mRNA vaccine harms, I want to pause to honour my dear friend, the late Professor Gabriel Oon Chong Jin—a Cambridge-trained MD, founding president of Singapore’s Society of Oncology, pioneer in liver cancer research, —warned me two years ago about Pfizer’s manufacturing lapses. As a WHO consultant and the founder of Singapore General Hospital’s Onco-Immunology department (ranked among the world’s top), his expertise was unmatched.

Yet, he endured defamation from Singapore’s Straits Times, especially health editor Salma Khalik, for raising concerns about mRNA vaccine harms.In private messages, he shared reports of post-jab cancer acceleration, his voice steady amid the storm.

Prof Gabriel Oon

Passing away at the age of 86 in July 2025, he left behind a powerful legacy of truth-seeking—one that now resonates strongly in the bombshell papers by El-Deiry and Kuperwasser.

Professor Oon, thank you for your unwavering courage. Your warnings, once dismissed, now demand justice. We exchanged messages frequently right up until the very end, and I deeply miss our conversations. Someday, when this storm passes, I will share more about this remarkable and beautiful person.

To the defamers and suppressors: judgement awaits, above if not below.This isn’t over.

The Longevity Seeker’s Most Potent Tool: The Cessation Effect

Why the Most Powerful Anti-Aging Protocol Is Removing What Harms You—Not Adding What Helps

Woman Contemplating

(Tom: Unless you are perfect, you really need to read this!)

“The delivery of good medical care is to do as much nothing as possible.”

— Samuel Shem, The House of God (1978)

The “miracle” is not that you can reverse biological age.

It’s that we’ve been systematically trained to overlook the most powerful regenerative lever of all: stop doing the thing that forces the body to spend its entire metabolic budget on damage control.

We live inside a cultural narrative of biological inevitability—decline, deterioration, the slow unwinding of cellular coherence toward entropy and death. This story is so deeply embedded in our medical institutions, our pharmaceutical interventions, and our personal expectations that we rarely question its premises. We assume the body is fundamentally fragile, prone to malfunction, requiring constant external rescue.

But lived biology often tells a radically different story.

The body is not primarily a machine that breaks down. It is a self-organizing, self-repairing, continuously regenerating system—a living expression of what physicist Erwin Schrödinger called “negative entropy.” Every second, without conscious effort, your bone marrow produces 2.5 million red blood cells. Your immune system identifies and eliminates nascent cancer cells before they can establish themselves. Your liver performs over 500 biochemical functions. Your gut synthesizes neurotransmitters. Your cells repair DNA damage from radiation and oxidative stress. Your microbiome educates your immune system and manufactures vitamins.

This isn’t random biological noise. It’s orchestrated intelligence operating on principles we are only beginning to understand—from the quantum coherence within proteins to the electromagnetic and scalar fields generated by your heart and brain. The body not only wants to heal. It is designed for renewal, and doing exactly that, each and every moment of your life. The question is: what’s stopping it from fully expressing this self-regenerative ‘super power’?

So here’s the riddle that opens a door most of modern medicine has ignored: What intervention can make someone look biologically younger—fast—without adding a supplement, a cream, a pharmaceutical, or a complicated protocol?

The Reveal: Anti-Aging as Subtraction

In 2010, a pilot study was published in the journal Skinmed that should have rewritten our understanding of regeneration. Researchers in Milan tracked 64 Italian women who smoked, following them over nine months with a clinical scoring system that assessed lines, pigmentation, elasticity, brightness, vascularity, and texture. These measurements were then used to calculate a biological skin age—an objective metric of how old the skin functions, independent of chronological years.

At baseline, the average biological skin age of participants was nine years older than their chronological age. The daily insult of smoking had accelerated their visible aging by nearly a decade.

After nine months of smoking cessation—with no special creams, no injections, no pharmaceuticals—the average reduction in biological skin age was thirteen years…
