Because of its nutrient-dense nature, it’s not surprising to learn that parsley has many health benefits. Here they are described and instructions on how to grow it yourself.
The apoptotic and anticancer effects of cinnamon
Cancer rates are on the rise, and researchers are anxious to find possible alternative and herbal remedies to prevent and treat cancer. Conventional cancer treatments include chemotherapy and radiotherapy, both of which work to kill cancerous cells or arrest cancerous cell growth but have numerous negative side effects.
However, a recent study published in the European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry concluded that eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, two of the active ingredients in cinnamon, have powerful apoptotic properties that could be used to fight the growth and regeneration of cancerous cells. Researchers believe that cinnamon, widely used as a spice and flavoring agent, may be a possible preventative agent and treatment for cancer.

Watch robot dog and drone locked in fierce battle – blasting fireworks at each other in future warfare demo
Dramatic footage has captured an intense battle between a robotic dog and an aerial drone as the two shoot fireworks at each other. The clash could be a glimpse into the future of warfare, although we are decades away from scenes like those in the video, an expert said.
The footage shows the drone and the dog facing off in a barren field. The drone hovers mid-air, its four propellers occasionally maneuvering the aircraft away from the dog’s line of fire. Meanwhile, the dog discharges one firework after another in the direction of the drone, moving from side to side to adjust the angle of the shot.
Organizers mounted fireworks onto the back of the dog, which maneuvered itself to fire at the drone while simultaneously dodging pyrotechnics coming from the drone’s landing gear. It’s unclear from the footage whether either the dog or the drone were autonomous or remotely controlled, although it does appear that one of the people in the video may be flying the drone.
The video was posted on Chinese social media and sparked discussions about the future of warfare, according to the Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper South China Morning Post (SCMP).
It is possible that we might have robot wars in the future, and some experts argue that we already do, Missy Cummings, a professor of engineering at George Mason University in Virginia and director of Mason’s Autonomy and Robotics Center, told Live Science in an email.
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies have made it possible to build robots and drones that can hunt down and shoot targets with no human input. Governments around the world, including the U.S. administration, are increasingly incorporating AI into weapons and battlefield decision-making.
“Surface-to-air missiles are highly automated ground-based systems and they already shoot at drones,” Cummings said. “But we are decades from anything like the video and even if that were a reality, all you would have to do is drop baby powder on all the robots and they would not be able to ‘see,'” she said.
According to SCMP, the drone in the video is likely a model manufactured by DJI Agricultural, a Chinese company that designs drones for agricultural uses, such as spraying pesticides. The robotic dog is made by Chinese company Unitree Robotics, according to the newspaper.
The location where the video was taken is unknown, according to SCMP, but several people appear in the clip while the drone and dog are locked in battle.
It’s unclear from the end of the footage which machine prevailed. Both finish side by side on the ground, the robot dog having seemingly run out of ammunition and the drone still firing shots away from the dog.
Yale researchers have found Covid spike protein in the blood of people never infected with Covid – years after they got mRNA jabs Alex Berenson · December 19, 2024 URGENT: Yale researchers have found Covid spike protein in the blood of people never infected with Covid – years after they got mRNA jabs Yale University scientists have found Covid spike protein in the blood of people who received Covid mRNA shots – up to two years after they received the jabs.
The people were never infected with Covid, antibody tests show, and our immune systems rapidly destroy newly produced spike proteins. The finding suggests some people who took the shots may be making the proteins on their own.
A possible reason is that genetic material delivered in the shots has integrated with human genes and is continuing to activate protein-making structures in our cells. If found to be correct, this explanation has serious implications for mRNA vaccine safety and the more than 1 billion people who received mRNA Covid doses.

Yale researchers have found immune system exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production in some Covid jab recipients
And another take on the same survey. Alex Berenson writes:
This is bad news. Very bad.
A Yale University team led by a top immunologist has found that some people who received the Covid vaccines have damage to their immune systems, as well as high and rising levels of spike protein in their blood. The researchers released the findings Wednesday in a “preprint” and hope to publish it soon in a peer-reviewed journal.
How often these problems occur or if the immune system damage might open people to infections is unclear as yet. But immune system damage the researchers found is similar though not identical to changes caused by HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, that can eventually lead to AIDS.
(Summary: it’s not AIDS, but it’s not good either.)
The researchers also found Covid spike protein — the protein mRNA Covid jabs from Pfizer and Moderna cause our cells to make — in the blood of patients up to two years after vaccination. I first wrote about that finding in December, but it looks even more serious now that the preprint is out.
The new findings are particularly credible and concerning because LISTEN’s co-chair, Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, is a former president of the American Association of Immunologists who in 2021 called concerns about the mRNA shots “absurd.”
In a press release announcing the preprint’s findings this morning, Dr. Iwasaki struck a different tone. “That was surprising, to find spike protein in circulation at such a late time point,” she said. “We don’t know if the level of spike protein is causing the chronic symptoms… but it could be one mechanism underlying this syndrome.”
Dr. Harlan Krumholz, a Yale cardiologist and the study’s other co-chair, said the study needs to be repeated and expanded “with much larger numbers” to confirm its findings and discover other possible outcomes.
Those would include if the immune system dysfunction improves or worsens over time, if spike protein levels continue to rise, and why people continue to have spike protein in their blood long after it should be gone.

NEW STUDY – Circulating Spike Protein Detectable 709 Days after COVID-19 mRNA Injection
by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
The study titled, Immunological and Antigenic Signatures Associated with Chronic Illnesses after COVID-19 Vaccination, was just uploaded to the medRxiv preprint server.
…a small fraction of the population reports a chronic debilitating condition after COVID-19 vaccination, often referred to as post- vaccination syndrome (PVS). To explore… …features associated with PVS, we conducted a… …study involving 42 PVS participants and 22 healthy controls… …Compared with controls, PVS participants exhibited differences in immune profiles… …more frequent serological evidence of recent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation… …elevated levels of circulating spike protein compared to healthy controls. These findings reveal potential immune differences in individuals with PVS that merit further investigation to better understand this condition and inform future research into diagnostic and therapeutic approaches…
…The most striking finding from this study is that circulating Spike protein was detectable up to 709 days after COVID-19 mRNA Injection…
…These data help to explain delayed adverse events and long-term harms from COVID-19 mRNA injections, especially given that 320 peer-reviewed scientific studies confirm that the Spike protein is highly pathogenic on its own. The findings also support the use of Spike protein detoxification methods in the resolution of COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ injury syndromes…
