Avoid the primary cause to avoid more than 90% of all diseases.
The rate of chronic disease in the fully unvaccinated adult population, meaning no vaccines, no Vitamin K shot and no maternal vaccine exposure during pregnancy, is 2.64%
The rate in vaccinated American adult population is 60%. Joy Garner’s control group survey, conducted across 48 US states in 2019 and 2020 with a 0.178% random sample of the fully unvaccinated population and a 99% confidence.
The Garner data also shows dose-response. Add exposure to the Vitamin K shot alone: the rate rises to 11.73%.
Add exposure to maternal vaccination alone: 21.05%.
Add both together: 30%.
Complete the vaccine schedule: 60%
Each incremental exposure adds to the burden.
The gradient runs in one direction.
The primary cause is visible in every step of the curve.

With all due respect to Dame Helen, I define anti-aging not as something against age but as an effort to reduce the degeneration that normally accompanies aging. Jon Herron once wrote an article talking about the recatangularization of health span. I created the graphic below as it paints a big yellow target on my key area of address.

Our bodies peak at age 25 and by 35 we have lost 14% of our hormone production capacity. And it keeps getting worse from there!
Jon wrote it’s like rolling down a mountain for the last 50 years of your life, picking up symptoms and disease until you die. He said, wouldn’t it be better if we could figure out how to maintain our health across the top of the graph and fall off a cliff at some advanced age rather than rolling down a mountain.
So I made that my mission, to help people fall off a cliff rather than rolling down a mountain! LOL!

Sleep Chronotypes
Are you always tired? Sleep expert Dr Michael Breus breaks down the 4 chronotypes to master your sleep, how to fix insomnia. the truth about sleep apnea and why the 8 hour myth is wrong!
Knowing your chronotype can tell you what time of day is best for different activities.
Lions (10-15% of us) are early birds. 4:30-6:30 am risers. They are one chronotype – they make melatonin earlier in the evening. 9:30 to 11:30 is the sweet spot for intellectual horsepower.
Bears (50-55% of us) wake at 7, most productive 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, sleep at 11 pm.
Wolf types (15% of us) are night owls. Creative thinkers, most productive in the afternoon and like to go to bed late. Wake 7:30 am to 9:00 am, most productive between 1 and 5 pm and retire at midnight. They make melatonin later in the evening. Highest risk takers. Hate mornings.
Dolpins (10% of us) wake at 6, most productive between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm and go to bed at 11. They are sensitive sleepers with a fragmented sleep pattern and rarely keep a regular sleep schedule. Intelligent, well read, good talkers, anxious, detail oriented.
The quiz to determine your chronotype is at: chronoquiz.com
Adrenalin and cortisol are the two hormones that wake you up each morning.
Sugar slows the production of melatonin. Don’t eat for three hours before bed.
15-20 ounces of water as soon as possible after waking is best to rehydrate after sleep.
75% of the reasons people don’t sleep well is stress or fear.
Home sleep tests.
Get to sleep OK but wake and cannot get back to sleep
If you are underslept and need to be sharp, coffee then nap for 30 minutes.

In Tokyo, trash doesn’t just disappear. It is transformed. The city’s waste management system is incredibly efficient, turning rubbish into a resource. Combustible waste is incinerated, and the smoke and gases are filtered and cleaned before release. What remains is a fine ash that is used in construction.
The ash is mixed with cement to replace clay, which would otherwise have to be mined. This reduces the city’s environmental footprint and reuses materials that would have otherwise been buried in a landfill. The system ensures that almost nothing goes to waste.
A city that builds itself from its own garbage.

Constructed wetlands and phytoremediation: using plants (plus the microbes around their roots) to strip nutrients, organic matter, and some pollutants out of wastewater as it flows through gravel, soil, or shallow ponds.
Can you believe plants can turn toilet wastewater into clean, usable water? It sounds crazy, but it’s 100% possible — no chemicals just nature!
80% of the world’s wastewater goes untreated and most people don’t even know this, but it’s a serious problem. The good news is that the solution is simple and scalable.
Here’s how it works:
1 Plants are placed in a special system filled with gravel. They grow and prepare to clean the water.
2 The magic happens under the surface – as the water flows, plant roots and bacteria remove waste and harmful substances.
3 Clean water flows out! Safe for irrigation, flushing toilets, or returning to nature.
Imagine if every building treated its own wastewater. We could save millions of litres and restore biodiversity at the same time.
Cattails are a classic example, but there are many other species used in these systems to clean wastewater. Here are some of the main groups and examples:
Reeds and rushes
Common reed (Phragmites australis). Widely used in horizontal and vertical flow reed beds to treat domestic wastewater and sewage; roots provide huge surface area for bacteria that break down pollutants.aquatiris+1
Bulrush / soft rush (e.g. Scirpus spp., Juncus effusus). Good at removing nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus and stabilising the substrate.kellogggarden+1
Iris and similar ornamentals
Yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus) and related species. Used because they tolerate nutrient-rich water, help remove pollutants, and look attractive in “garden wetlands.”aquatiris+1
Floating aquatic plants
Duckweed (Lemna spp.) and azolla (Azolla spp.). Research shows they are particularly effective at taking up nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater.phys+1
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). Very efficient at absorbing nutrients and some heavy metals, used in lagoon systems—but invasive in many regions, so must be controlled.oas+1
Other wetland and marginal plants
Carex sedges (Carex spp.). Often used alongside reeds and rushes in constructed wetlands.aquatiris
Water mint (Mentha aquatica) and similar species, which can help reduce bacterial contamination in small-scale systems.kellogggarden
In practice, designers usually combine several of these plants in layers (gravel beds, shallow pools, planted margins) to target different pollutants and make the system more robust.

Last week, Elon Musk called Lee Kuan Yew a genius.
Not for building Singapore. Not for the port, the schools, or the housing. He called him a genius because of what Lee Kuan Yew said about air conditioning.
In 2009, a reporter asked Lee what made Singapore work. His answer was one word.
Air conditioning.
He called it “perhaps one of the signal inventions of history.” He said it changed the world by making the tropics liveable. Before air conditioning, you could only work in the cool morning or after dark. The heat shut everything else down.
And then he said something that sounds small but changed a country.
“The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked.”
Not roads. Not the army. Air conditioners. For the people who ran the government. Because Lee Kuan Yew knew, before the data proved it, that you can’t build a nation if no one can think straight after lunch.
The machine that made this possible was never meant for people
In 1902, a young engineer named Willis Carrier got a job to fix. He was 25. He had just left Cornell. And the problem he was asked to solve had nothing to do with heat.
It had to do with paper.
A printing company in Brooklyn was losing money. The summer air was so humid that the paper kept swelling and shrinking. They printed in four colours. Each colour needed a separate pass through the press. If the paper changed size between passes, the image came out blurred.
Carrier was told to fix the humidity. Not the heat. Just the humidity.
He built a system that moved air over cold coils. The coils pulled moisture out of the air. The paper stayed flat. The images came out clean. He was 25 years old.
Then one night changed everything
Carrier was standing on a train platform in Pittsburgh. The air was thick with fog. He stared into the mist and had an idea. You could dry air by moving it through water. If you controlled the temperature of the water, you controlled the moisture. And if you controlled the moisture, you controlled the room.
He had figured out the basic science of air conditioning. While waiting for a train.
On January 2, 1906, he got a patent. Number 808,897. He called it “Apparatus for Treating Air.”
The whole thing was built to keep paper flat.
For twenty years, nobody thought to use it on people
Air conditioning stayed in factories. It cooled machines, not humans. The idea of cooling a room just for comfort seemed wasteful.
Then in 1925, Carrier installed a cooling system at the Rivoli Theatre in Times Square. It was Memorial Day weekend. The crowd came in with hand fans, ready to sweat.
They didn’t need them.
For the first time, hundreds of regular people sat in a cool room during a New York summer. The crowd was huge. Not because the film was good. Because the lobby was cold.
Within five years, over 300 theatres had AC. People went to the movies in July and August not for the films but for the air. That is how Hollywood’s summer blockbuster season was born. People needed a reason to sit in a cool room. The movies gave them one.
Now back to Singapore
When Lee Kuan Yew took office in 1959, Singapore was hot. Not warm. Hot. The kind of hot where the air sticks to your skin and your shirt is soaked by noon.
There was no AC in most buildings. The civil service slowed down every afternoon. And the numbers explain why.
Lee Kuan Yew did not wait for the research. He acted first. AC went into government offices. Then into banks, schools, hospitals, malls, and MRT stations. The whole country was built around one idea: control the indoor temperature, and everything else follows.
Today, most Singaporeans spend their day indoors. Most of those rooms are cooled to 22 or 23 degrees. That is the exact range where people think clearest, make the fewest mistakes, and get the most done.
The science behind it is almost too simple
A liquid takes in heat when it turns to gas. You’ve felt this. Step out of a pool on a windy day and you feel cold. That’s the same physics that cools your office.
Your air conditioner does it with a special liquid called a refrigerant. The liquid turns to gas inside the unit, pulling heat out of your room. Then a compressor squeezes it back into a liquid and pushes that heat outside. The cycle repeats. All day. All night.
Every mall and MRT car and HDB bedroom with a split unit humming in the dark. All of it runs on the same science that makes you shiver when you’re wet.
And here’s the part nobody likes to mention
Air conditioning uses about 10 percent of all the electricity on earth. In Singapore, buildings burn over a third of the country’s total energy. A big part of that goes to cooling.
The machine that made tropical life possible is also making the tropics hotter. We cool our rooms so we can work. And in doing so, we warm the planet that makes the cooling necessary.
Willis Carrier built a system to keep paper flat. A hundred and twenty years later, the tropics can’t live without it. And the planet can’t sustain it forever.
Lee Kuan Yew was right. Air conditioning changed everything. It made Singapore possible. It made your office, your train, your bedroom liveable in a country one degree north of the equator.
Last week, Elon Musk called the man who said this a genius.
For once, that’s hard to argue with.
But the real genius was not in praising the air conditioner. It was in knowing, before anyone else, that the most important thing a tropical country could build was not a port or a highway.
It was a thermostat.
I’m typing this in my office right now. The aircon is set to 23. I haven’t thought about it once.
