(Natural News) The Earth is protected from solar wind — a stream of charged particles from the sun — by its geomagnetic field. But this protective barrier is weak in certain areas, particularly south of the Atlantic Ocean. Called the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), this area makes it easier for solar wind and other cosmic rays […]

(Natural News) Acute myocardial infarction, or heart attack, is a serious complication associated with sepsis. In patients with this condition, myocardial injury that leads to a heart attack is caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin present in the outer membrane of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS triggers inflammation by promoting the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules, such […]

(Natural News) A study published in the journal Acta Neurologica found that the gut may be the starting point of Parkinson’s disease. According to researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark, disease-causing proteins called alpha-synuclein travel up to the brain from the gut. Eventually, they make their way to the heart, as well. The findings of the study represent a significant […]

(Natural News) A chemical called necrosulfonamide may help inhibit “cellular suicide” linked to arthritis, a recent animal study showed. Published in Science Immunology, the study revealed that necrosulfonamide can prevent pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death that contributes to conditions like arthritis, live disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). (Related: Cannabis found to reduce the symptoms of IBD.) […]

(Natural News) A new study published in the journal Cell reports the effects of a genetic mutation in SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Conducted by researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Duke University and the University of Sheffield in the U.K., it suggests that a variation in SARS-CoV-2’s genome improved the virus’s ability to infect human cells and helped it become the dominant […]

(Natural News) It’s a common stereotype that women are known for their multitasking abilities. A recent study, however, looks to debunk the stereotype, stating that men are just as capable of multitasking as women. The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, shows that whether or not someone is good or bad at handling multiple tasks at once has nothing to […]

(Natural News) The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is claiming that a new strain of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is spreading around Beijing that is more infectious than the previous strain. According to the regime, the new strain contains a mutation known as D614G that supposedly makes the virus twice as contagious, and also more deadly. […]

(Natural News) The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) has now infected over 5.6 million people worldwide, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. As experts continue to study the contagion, some have suggested that there is more than one strain of the coronavirus. They believe that these mutations have greatly altered how infectious and deadly the virus is. Since the […]

(Natural News) Coronaviruses are pervasive throughout the human population and their symptoms typically manifest as the common cold. The four most popular coronaviruses identified include 229E (alpha coronavirus), NL63 (alpha coronavirus), OC43 (beta coronavirus), and HKU1 (beta coronavirus). More potent coronaviruses have emerged in recent years. MERS-CoV I is a beta coronavirus that causes Middle […]

(Natural News) The symptoms of COVID-19 may very well be eldritch horrors. In most cases, it can appear as cough, fever, chills and headache. But in severe cases, it can cause acute kidney failure and multiple organ damage – strange symptoms for what’s known as mainly a respiratory infection. How COVID-19 causes the latter, in particular, […]
