William Shatner

William Shatner

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

“I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

“I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.

“This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable.”

More on Circadian Rhythms

Joseph S Takahashi

Your brain’s suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) serves as the master biological clock that regulates your body’s circadian rhythms.

Your body’s central circadian clock is not alone; peripheral clocks are found in various tissues and nearly every organ throughout your body, including the liver, lungs, heart and skeletal muscles.

Shift work, jet lag and many other factors can throw your circadian rhythm off kilter; your body relies on zeitgebers — external cues that help regulate and synchronize your circadian rhythms — to get back on track.

Exposure to bright light, ideally from sunlight, during the day and avoiding artificial light at night is a powerful method to keep your circadian rhythms in sync.

Meal timing also influences your circadian rhythms; it’s best to avoid eating before sunrise or after sunset and to stop eating at least three hours before bedtime.

The Hidden Dangers of Seed Oils and Insulin Resistance

I recently interviewed Dr. Cate Shanahan, a board-certified family physician who is a leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism. Her new book, “Dark Calories,” discusses the dangers of seed oils — often referred to as the greenwashed term vegetable oils — insulin resistance, and the importance of proper nutrition for optimal health.

In our interview, Dr. Cate Shanahan explains that seed oils (vegetable oils) are highly toxic, promoting oxidative stress and damaging mitochondria, which are crucial for cellular energy production and overall health.

The HOMA-IR test is a valuable tool for measuring insulin resistance. Shanahan suggests a threshold of 1.0 or less indicates metabolic health, contrary to higher values often considered normal.

While previously advocating low-carb diets, Shanahan now recognizes the importance of proper carbohydrate intake for brain and overall health, recommending slow-digesting complex carbohydrates from whole foods.

Shanahan criticizes the American Heart Association for promoting vegetable oils as heart-healthy, arguing this has led to widespread health issues and suffering in the population
Returning to traditional, nutrient-dense whole foods, including raw dairy, bone broth and organ meats, while avoiding ultraprocessed foods and vegetable oils, supports optimal health.

By focusing on the quality of your food choices and moving away from heavily processed ingredients, you can take significant steps toward better health and cognitive function. As Shanahan concludes:

“When I improved by diet, I improved my metabolism, I improved my personality. Objectively, you could ask my husband. I improved my immune system function. I improved every aspect of my health. And it just came from getting these … main bad, big bad ingredients out of my diet.”

By understanding the hidden dangers in our modern food supply and making informed choices, you can work toward similar improvements in your own health and well-being. It’s a call to action for individuals to take control of their health through informed dietary choices and a return to more traditional, nutrient-dense foods.

Best Cancer Preventatives

Dr Paul Marik Interview

Dr Paul Marik told me they’re compiling a list of the best prophylactic protocols to prevent cancer: “The first most effective is green tea…because of its effect on cancer cells, but also the tumor microenvironment. …Then we have curcumin, which acts on multiple biological pathways. We then have vitamin D…There’s a very strong association between vitamin D deficiency and cancer. And then number four is omega three fatty acids. …Our basic protocol—we call it root four—are these four drugs. …They’re reasonably cheap, there are no side effects. So I think people over the age of 60, even if you’re healthy, should consider taking these drugs, because it will significantly reduce your risk of developing cancer. Obviously, it won’t completely eliminate it, but think how cost-effective this is, because we know the cost of treating a patient with cancer with conventional chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors runs into the millions of dollars, let alone the lost time. …So it’s a highly cost-effective approach, and you would imagine that it would be an approach that public health would be interested in. …We should be preventing diabetes, obesity, and cancer.”

Microscopic and Biochemical Analysis of Anomalous White Fibrous Clots from Deceased mRNA Injection Recipients

Misfolded Fibrin Protein Clots

By Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

In this eye-opening interview, I sit down with embalmer Richard Hirschman and industrial chemist Greg Harrison to investigate the emergence of large, white fibrous clots in deceased individuals who received COVID-19 mRNA injections.

Hirschman, a seasoned embalmer with over 20 years of experience, first began noticing these unusual white, rubbery clots in early 2021. Found in both veins and arteries—a rarity in embalming practice—their frequency and composition were unlike anything he had encountered in two decades of work.

To better understand what they were made of, he partnered with Greg Harrison, an industrial organic chemist with deep expertise in polymer analysis. Harrison subjected the clots to rigorous biochemical testing using techniques like ICP-MS, HPLC, Raman spectroscopy, and RT-QuIC.

What they uncovered is nothing short of shocking: these are not ordinary post-mortem clots. The structures are composed of misfolded fibrin proteins with amyloid characteristics—including signs of infectious amyloid behavior, capable of triggering misfolding in other proteins. These findings raise grave concerns about a novel, systemic disease process that may be silently affecting millions:

Not Normal Clots:

These are not “chicken fat clots” or ordinary post-mortem artifacts. Richard Hirschman, who has embalmed thousands of bodies, began finding these anomalies only after the COVID-19 mRNA injection rollout in 2021 — not during the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020.

  • The clots are rubbery, fibrous, and white, often stretching several inches and appearing in both arteries and veins — which is highly unusual.
  • Traditional blood clots are soft, jelly-like, and typically limited to veins. These new clots are durable, rope-like, and difficult to break down — even with conventional embalming procedures.
  • Hirschman reports seeing these clots in 30–50% of all bodies he embalms, a rate that fluctuates but remains persistently high — and many other embalmers are now reporting the same.

Natural Light Is an Essential Nutrient – Analysis by A Midwestern Doctor

Sunlight’s hidden benefits — Sunlight is crucial for our health, dramatically cutting the risk of dying or getting cancer, yet we’re always told to avoid it.

Beyond vitamin D — While we recognize the importance of vitamin D, many other critical functions of light in plants, animals, and humans remain largely unknown and will be explored in this article.

Modern light exposure — Our constant exposure to artificial light is mistakenly seen as harmless, but forgotten research shows it’s a root cause of many modern physical and behavioral issues.

Light and blood — Blood plays a key role in conducting light throughout our bodies. Disruptions in this process (e.g., from wearing glasses that block certain parts of the light spectrum) can lead to serious health problems.

The Role of Mitochondrial Function in Autoimmune Diseases

Eating to nourish your body is vital to maintaining your health. This article explains why and how you can improve your diet.

Next month Dr Joseph Mercola hopes to publish his new book Cellular Health, The Unified Theory of All Disease for Ultimate Longevity and Joy. Till then you can implement the following to reap the benefits.

Lower your LA intake as low as possible by avoiding processed foods, seed oils, chicken, pork, seeds and nuts and review my classic article on LA.

Take progesterone and described in the linked article.

Make sure you’re eating healthy carbs such as ripe fruit, raw honey and maple syrup. My new book identifies 12 different classification of carbs so you can use the ones that are just right for your current state of health.

Reduce your stress, as chronic stress promotes cortisol release, which is a potent suppressor of mitochondrial function and biogenesis. Progesterone can be quite helpful here, as it’s a potent cortisol blocker.

Take supplemental niacinamide, as your mitochondria cannot make energy without it. I recommend taking 50 mg of niacinamide three times a day.

Nuclear-Diamond Battery

Nuclear-Diamond Battery

Scientists from the UK Atomic Energy Authority and the University of Bristol have developed the world’s first carbon-14 diamond battery, capable of generating power for over 5,700 years. This groundbreaking technology harnesses energy from the radioactive decay of carbon-14, an isotope extracted from nuclear waste graphite blocks. The carbon-14 is encapsulated within synthetic diamonds, which safely contain the radiation while converting the emitted electrons into a steady electrical current.
Functioning similarly to a solar panel—but using electrons instead of photons—this battery offers a continuous, maintenance-free power source. Its extreme longevity and reliability make it ideal for powering space missions, remote sensors, and medical devices like pacemakers, where battery replacement is difficult or impossible.
In addition to its performance, the diamond battery provides a sustainable solution to nuclear waste by repurposing radioactive material that would otherwise require secure storage for thousands of years. This innovation is a major leap forward in both clean energy technology and environmental responsibility.

We should ban these immediately

Oncologist Dr. Angus Dalgleish: ”The Covid injections have been found to contain SV40, a cancer-inducing virus that binds to tumour suppressor genes, which—when disrupted—trigger cancers typically seen in old age to appear much earlier in life.”

”We’re seeing patients presenting younger. We’re seeing them present at stage three and four, not one and two, as we would expect.”

”SV40… is an oncogenic sequence that was present in a polio vaccine… We use that in the laboratory to induce tumours in mice, so you can then test anti-tumour drugs.”

”We find that it binds to well known suppressor genes… If a cancer does start to form… these suppressor genes will basically regulate it, and suppress it, and switch it off.”

”If you have a natural mutation in one of those genes, the cancer you would normally expect to get at 70 or 80 will occur at 30 to 40.”

”So here you are injecting everybody with a virus that has the equivalent of having a mutation in your suppressor genes.”

”Now can you see why I am so horrified at the potential long term implications of this, and why we should ban these immediately?”
