Chemicals from CAR TIRES could be contaminating your dinner plate foods

May 10, 2023 -

Researchers out of Vienna warn that particulates from cars get left behind on roads and blown about and moved around by winds and rain, eventually settling in the soils where food is grown.

Farms that utilize wastewater and sewage sludge, also known as "biosludge," as "fertilizers" are also heavily contaminated with all sorts of contaminants, many of which end up inside the portions of plants consumed by animals and people.

On average, according to the team from the ...

Toxic chemical in car tires, not climate change, is killing off West Coast salmon

December 18, 2020 -

Now, scientists from Washington and California have identified the real culprit: a novel chemical byproduct known as 6PPD-quinone. This previously unreported substance is produced when 6PPD, a chemical used to slow the wear and tear of car tires, reacts with ground-level ozone, a major air pollutant.

The scientists believe 6PPD-quinone is what's killing the salmon because it appeared in road runoff samples taken from across the West Coast. The findings ...

Pharmaceutical factory that manufactures hydroxychloroquine mysteriously bursts into flames, explodes

December 24, 2020 -

The facility, which manufactures the anti-Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) drug hydroxychloroquine, appears to have been targeted, perhaps by COVID-19 vaccine interests, in an effort to punish the company for manufacturing the inexpensive, highly effective remedy for the novel virus.

People as far away as New Taipei City, located in Taiwan's Tamsui District, reported hearing a large blast shortly after noon on Sunday. Immediately following the blast, thick black smoke was ...

Chemical in car tires linked to salmon die-off

December 10, 2020 -

The chemical preservative, known as 6PPD, is used worldwide to slow the wear and tear on car tires. However, as tires break down over time and leave behind microscopic particles on roads, the 6PPD will react with ozone, an air pollutant, to become a different substance called 6PPD-quinone.

Outside of its lethal effects on coho salmon, scientists know little about this new substance. Unfortunately, the group found 6PPD-quinone in road runoff samples ...

Missing from the national conversation on coronavirus is any talk about nutritional science

August 06, 2020 -

Nutritional science is all but completely absent from the national conversation on plandemic solutions, which is unfortunate considering that there are ways people can help protect themselves right now that have nothing to do with new future vaccines or novel, magic-bullet therapeutics.

As we are seeing with the ongoing crusade against hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and zinc, even old-time remedies are being shunned in favor of more government control over people’s lives, which ...

7 Health benefits of PQQ, a natural brain-boosting supplement

July 10, 2020 -

The role of PQQ in brain function

PQQ, or pyrroloquinoline quinone, is a compound found naturally in breast milk, as well as certain foods and even in the soil. PQQ supports mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of cells. Research shows that PQQ is involved in the formation of new mitochondrial cells in the brain, which helps maintain healthy brain function and can help fight age-related cognitive impairment.

Here are some of the notable health benefits of PQQ:

FDA aggressively attacking colloidal silver products to clear the way for a Big Pharma coronavirus VACCINE (that will probably kill 100,000 Americans all by itself)

April 01, 2020 -

The federal agency, which only considers pharmaceuticals to possess any medical benefits, says it recently issued warning letters to multiple firms instructing them to stop suggesting that colloidal silver can in any way help prevent, treat, mitigate, diagnose or cure the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).

Instead of focusing on FDA-approved pharmaceuticals, which maim and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans every year, the FDA has instead indicated that it will be "actively ...

From poison to cure: Researchers synthesize scorpion venom compounds to fight “highly infectious bacteria”

January 02, 2020 -

According to a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from Stanford University and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) discovered that two compounds from the venom of an Eastern Mexican scorpion, Diplocentrus melici, can fight off harmful bacteria without harming healthy tissue.

Richard Zare, a chemistry professor at Stanford and Lourival Possani, a biochemistry professor at UNAM, said their teams made ...

Study suggests that cosmic dust can boost brain power and lower LDL cholesterol levels

April 30, 2019 -

Space dust is mostly made up of carbon, oxygen, and silicon. But it also contains PQQ. So do the cells of living organisms like microbes, plans, and humans, leading researchers to theorize that the compound contributed to the formation of life on Earth.

PQQ plays a critical role in the energy production process of mitochondria. It increases the amount of energy produced by living cells and the entire body. It also sharpens memory and improves other brain functions.

In ...

Researchers develop high-energy magnesium batteries that can store more energy

March 27, 2019 -

High-energy magnesium batteries derived from the new design can be used in all kinds of roles. They could be fitted aboard increasing numbers of electric cars, planes, and boats to provide power to engines and electrical system. Or they could store excess electricity produced by renewable energy sources for later distribution to the power grid.

It was the very first magnesium battery designed to use this combination of organic-based electrical conductor and a reduced number of ...

New evidence shows that walnuts optimize the gut microbiome to suppress colon cancer cell growth

February 10, 2019 -

To date, colon cancer is the third most common type of the disease around the globe. The study, which was published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, involved a collaboration between researchers from the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCONN) and Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine.Can walnuts prevent colon cancer?

For the study, the researchers set out to determine the cancer-preventive effects of walnut consumption in mice.

The researchers ...

Study: PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) may prevent and even reverse Alzheimer’s

December 15, 2018 -

Alzheimer's disease was discovered shortly after the turn of the 20th century. More than a century later, scientists have yet to identify a definitive cause behind the disease. There are suspicions that oxidative stress from the accumulation of free radicals is involved.

Free radicals are unstable molecules that oftentimes, bear oxygen molecules. They are a by-product of the body's natural metabolic process, although they may also come from environmental factors (such ...

PQQ is effective in combating neurodegeneration that can affect the aging brain

December 13, 2018 -

Pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ, has recently become of interest to the scientific community, thanks to its impressive brain-boosting attributes.Studies show PQQ protects against memory loss and brain aging

PQQ has been shown to offer many brain-boosting benefits in clinical studies. In 2017, a study using animal models for Alzheimer's disease found that giving mice a proprietary supplement made with PQQ yielded astonishing results. The supplement group exhibited increased ...

Compound found in brown algae and sea cucumber found to inhibit formation of skin cancer and promote cancer cell death

October 16, 2018 -

The group of researchers from China believes that the findings on the "effect of fucoidan on B16 murine melanoma cells" can be used to advance research on how fucoidan can halt melanin growth. For the study, the researchers looked into the "anti-melanogenic effect of fucoidan and its inhibitory effect on B16 cells."

Using spectrophotometric methods and protein expression analyzed by immunoblotting, researchers studied the effects of fucoidan on B16 melanoma cells and ...

The fruit of this local Pakistani plant significantly reduces oxidative stress in the body

October 11, 2018 -

M. buxifolia is a fruit-bearing plant that is commonly found in Northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. Its fruit has been used for medicinal purposes, such as treating digestive and urinary tract disorders. Previous studies have shown that the methanol extract of M. buxifolia has significant amount of total phenolic and flavonoid content. In addition to this, M. buxifolia also exhibited impressive free radical scavenging activity. From these, they were able to determine that M....
