In a draconian crackdown not seen since the Cultural Revolution, book burning, mass-arrests and imprisonment, torture and forced reeducation were unleashed across China. Virtually everyone in China was either targeted or forced to be complicit…”* Forced Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China Kirk’s Comments on Falun Gong…* Falun Gong practitioners are some of the most Gandhi like people I know. Three words sum up there philosophy, “Trustfulness, Compassion and Tolerance (Forbearance)”.* Falun Gong practitioners are a threat to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) not because of physical violence but because they are truly an example of hope for the Chinese people and oppressed people around the world who are under authoritarian rule.* These courageous people (Falun Gong), especially practicing in China, bring great hope for freedom of religion and beliefs throughout the world.* Live organ harvesting of any people is heinous and unthinkable and if stopped in China (CCP) it will send a message to the world that this is an intolerable practice. If not stopped in China I believe it could directly effect American lives on our mainland some day.* We should as Americans (and those in the free world) thank and support Falun Gong practitioners in China as they literally are sacrificing their lives by continuing their spiritual practice challenging the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while doing it non-violently. They continue to grow in number around the world. Falun Gong practitioners are “fighting” for our freedom indirectly by exposing the CCP’s evil by defying them non-violently by continually practicing and spreading their faith. Kirk’s Thoughts on Dr. Jessica Russo’s Interview… Dr. Russo’s interview just reminded me there are really good people in this world who are informed about this issue and are not willing to let it “slide.” She also sees the bigger picture of where this practice (forced organ harvesting) might go if it is not stopped soon. It won’t just be the suffering of the directly persecuted prisoners of conscience but eventually our lives and freedoms in the U.S. may be directly be effected. The Falun Gong practitioners in China are really “lights” to the world and have moved many Chinese away from the Chinese Communist Party which hopefully will lead to their demise and true freedom for the Chinese people in China and abroad. Kirk’s Thoughts on Charlie Kirk who was Assassinated Yesterday (September 10. 2024)….“When discourse ends, violence begins,” Kirk was fond of saying.On a day when I was interviewing Dr. Russo on man’s incredible inhumanity to man regarding conducting “Live Organ Harvesting” of Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience (Uyghurs, Tibetans, Christians…) Charlie Kirk, a self-made “young” man (31 years old) who didn’t got to college, who became a successful entrepreneur, student organizer, author, political influencer, American patriot, educator of college students was assassinated while doing his life’s passion… speaking to college students respectfully about conservative American and good human values like family, having a home, children, believing and practicing your faith. He leaves two beautiful young children and loving wife.Here is really all I want to say about Charlie Kirk’s life. I admired him greatly, not because I agreed with everything he said, maybe 70-80%, but because he wanted to have dialogue with people who disagreed with him. He sincerely wanted youth in their formative and college years to have more hope for their future. To think about marriage, having children, a home, a good job, time to be with their family and practice their faith. I envied the way he could argue articulately without getting emotional or insulting. Mostly I will remember him for asking those students who disagreed with him to come to the front of the line to ask him questions, challenge him and to dialogue! He always wanted the people who disagreed with him to come to the front of the line and share their views first. He felt true dialogue with those you don’t agree with is the only way to avoid violence…I agree.

Shanti Mohling, MD, FACOGNorthwest Endometriosis and Pelvic Surgery511 SW 10th Ave, Suite 907, Portland, OR 97205503-715-1377 / Fax 503-715-2717Shantimohling@gmail.com“Intestinal permeability and endometriosis: a pilot investigation ” Journal of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders, September 2023, Volume 3,100045 9/2025Kirk’s Comments on Interview…Fond Memories of the Power of Food Elimination…I was very excited about this interview because it reinforced a major belief and long-standing practice of mine as an integrative medicine physician assistant: that individual foods—or patterns of food consumption—can cause virtually any symptom, symptom complex, or systemic disease.This understanding dates back to my very first job as a physician’s assistant in an integrative medicine practice in May 1983, where nearly every patient was placed on a two-week “detox.” The protocol consisted of a green smoothie (with psyllium seed husks and basic vitamins) and daily coffee enemas to “stimulate” liver detoxification. Nothing else was eaten. I remember it well—it was a kind of slimy, green drink.The bottom line was simple: patients were removed from their usual food patterns. Most patients came in with multiple complaints, often linked to unhealthy diets. Or others ate what seemed like a pristine diet but regularly consumed one or two foods that “looked healthy” but triggered sensitivity—such as eggs, sprouted grain bread, sourdough, yogurt or coffee (it could be any frequently eaten whole food…). One person’s health food could easily be another’s source of chronic symptoms.In just six months at that practice, I witnessed nearly every patient experience improvements in their symptoms or disease complex during or after this two-week elimination diet. It didn’t matter what their initial complaints were—almost always, something improved.Working Hypothesis…My working hypothesis is that removing the patients “normal foods” (some offending?) gave the gut time to heal. Most gut cells from the stomach to rectum take somewhere between 3–7 days to regenerate. Intestinal permeability can improve from weeks to months. I suspect that excessive antigen uptake that fuels immune activation was reduced immediately by eliminating commonly eaten offending foods, and, over time as intestinal permeability was reduced. This “quieted” the immune system and lead to symptom relief—sometimes immediately, sometimes after weeks or months on a low “food intolerance” regimen.The “magic” wasn’t just in food removal; it was in the gut’s opportunity to repair itself. Depending on diet and fiber intake, the microbiome (intestinal bacteria) can take months to re-balance which is where systemic disease can be slowed, stopped or even reversed.What Do Food Sensitivities or Diet Have to Do with Endometriosis?…This experience is directly relevant to Dr. Mohling’s research. She and her colleagues found a significantly higher degree of intestinal permeability in patients with endometriosis compared to those with pelvic pain alone or healthy controls.This suggests that food—directly or indirectly, through intestinal permeability and microbiome disruption—“may” play a role in triggering or healing endometriosis (or symptom reduction) in susceptible individuals.The key question is whether increased intestinal permeability precedes endometriosis or is a consequence of the disease. It may be both: a contributing factor and a byproduct, creating a vicious cycle.Endometriosis Tissue: Similar but Not the Same…Dr. Mohling explained a compelling hypothesis: that endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus may originate during gestation. This tissue is similar to, but not identical with, uterine endometrial lining. When exposed to inflammatory cytokines, it can become symptomatic endometriosis in and around the abdominal cavity and organs.Rather than relying solely on the retrograde menstruation theory, this explanation offers a clearer mechanism: physiologic events such as increased intestinal permeability or altered microbiota may drive inflammation that stimulates these ectopic tissues.Kirk’s “Mile High View”…The bigger picture is that intestinal permeability and microbiome disruption may underlie not only endometriosis but also many chronic systemic illnesses. The specific symptoms differ, but the pathophysiology is similar: food (or medication) consumption → increased intestinal permeability → microbiome disruption → inflammatory mediator release → chronic disease.So, while Dr. Mohling’s findings are directly relevant to endometriosis, they also apply broadly to many chronic conditions that conventional medicine struggles to manage.That said, Dr. Mohling is clear: for significant endometriosis, surgery is usually necessary to achieve meaningful symptom relief. Lifestyle measures are supportive but rarely sufficient on their own.Lifestyle Strategies for Endometriosis…In addition to a whole-food diet rich in fruits, vegetables, protein, and cultured dairy, Dr. Mohling recommends:* Vitamins C, D, and E* NAC (N-acetylcysteine)* Omega-3 fatty acids* Magnesium* Probiotics* Palmitoyl ethanolamide (PEA) — which Dr. Mohling was particularly enthusiastic aboutI would also suggest:* Assessing for bacterial or yeast/fungal overgrowth, or doing a therapeutic antifungal trial over 2-4 weeks if indicated by extensive antibiotic history.* Incorporating periodic fasting, such as the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet (five days a month for 6–12 months) to reduce immune activation and inflammatory mediators.* Considering supervised water fasting programs at centers like TrueNorth Health Center for carefully selected patients for 1-2 weeks.Kirk Hamilton PA-COtter.AI Generated Interview Transcript Summary * Overview…Dr. Shanti Mohling, an OB-GYN surgeon, discussed her study on intestinal permeability in patients with endometriosis, published in the Journal of Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Disorders. The study found that 50% of endometriosis patients had intestinal permeability, compared to none in healthy controls and 10% in those with pelvic pain but no endometriosis. Dr. Mohling emphasized the importance of lifestyle changes, including a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, and the use of supplements like omega-3, vitamin D, and NAC. She also highlighted the need for surgery to manage endometriosis effectively.Introduction and Background of Dr. Shanti Mohling…* Kirk Hamilton introduces himself and the show's focus on endometriosis and intestinal permeability.* Dr. Shanti Mohling, an OB-GYN surgeon, is introduced as the guest.* Dr. Mohling shares her background, including her education in massage therapy and her transition to medical school.* Dr. Mohling discusses her current focus on surgical management of endometriosis in Portland, Oregon.Understanding Endometriosis and Its Etiology…* Dr. Mohling explains the etiology of endometriosis, emphasizing that it is not fully understood.* She describes the theory of retrograde menstruation and the role of unhealthy peritoneal fluid in endometriosis.* Dr. Mohling highlights the importance of a healthy internal environment in managing endometriosis.* Kirk Hamilton asks for clarification on endometriosis, and Dr. Mohling explains the process of endometrial tissue possibly migrating outside the uterus and/or the endometrial-like tissue was already present outside the uterus but do to multiple triggering factors caused the manifestation of the disease which could be the result of increased intestinal permeability or the disease process might increase intestinal permeability.Intestinal Permeability and Endometriosis…* Dr. Mohling discusses her study on intestinal permeability and endometriosis, noting that half of the patients with endometriosis also had increased intestinal permeability.* She explains that intestinal permeability can be transient and can improve with dietary changes.* Dr. Mohling emphasizes the association between intestinal permeability and endometriosis, but not the causality.* Kirk Hamilton and Dr. Mohling discuss the inflammatory nature of endometriosis and its impact on pain.Prevalence and Impact of Endometriosis…* Dr. Mohling estimates that 10% of females have endometriosis, which can range from mild to severe.* She describes the debilitating effects of endometriosis, including severe dysmenorrhea, infertility, and fibrotic lesions.* Dr. Mohling explains how endometriosis can manifest with IBS-like symptoms and debilitating cramping pain.* Kirk Hamilton asks about the symptoms of endometriosis, and Dr. Mohling emphasizes the importance of recognizing severe menstrual cramps, especially those that result in an emergency room visit for pain control.Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations for Endometriosis* Dr. Mohling recommends a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to improve gut health and manage endometriosis.* She advises limiting processed foods, sugar, and alcohol to support gut health.* Dr. Mohling discusses the importance of a balanced diet, including moderate dairy products and cultured dairy.* She highlights the role of supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin C, and NAC in managing endometriosis.Role of Surgery and Lifestyle Changes in Managing Endometriosis* Dr. Mohling emphasizes the importance of surgery in removing endometriotic lesions but also stresses the need for lifestyle changes.* She discusses the impact of long-term use of NSAIDs and the development of intestinal permeability.* Dr. Mohling mentions the role of the microbiome in estrogen metabolism (recycling and resorption of estrogen) and its impact on endometriosis.* Kirk Hamilton and Dr. Mohling discuss the potential benefits of fasting and dietary interventions like the fasting-mimicking diet.Challenges and Controversies in Endometriosis Treatment…* Dr. Mohling discusses the limitations of hormonal treatments like birth control pills and hormone blockers.* She highlights the importance of excising endometriotic les

Did The Covid Vaccine Increase Mortality from All Causes Compared to Those Not Vaccinated Between April 21 and May 2023 An Interview With Jarle Aarstad, PhDJarle Aarstad, PhDWestern Norway University of Applied SciencesBergen, Norwayjarle.aarstad@hvl.no(8/2025)“Mortality involving and not involving COVID-19 among vaccinated vs. unvaccinated in England between Apr 21 and May 23.” F1000Research 2025, 14:133. (article accessed here) PDF AbstractPreviously titled: “The temporal protection and declining health of the COVID-19 vaccinated in England: A 26-month comparison of the mortality involving and not involving COVID-19 among vaccinated vs. unvaccinated.”Kirk Hamilton: Can you please share with me your educational background and current position?Jarle Aarstad: I am an economist with a PhD in business administration from the NHH Norwegian School of Economics. Now I am a full professor at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, formally in innovation and entrepreneurship, with numerous publications, including in leading journals. Mostly, I use quantitative methodologies. Over the past few years, my research focus has shifted towards topics related to COVID-19 and vaccination, utilizing similar quantitative approaches.KH: What got you interested in studying the mortality difference between the Covid vaccinated and non-vaccinated during the time period of April 2021 to May 2023?JA: I had conducted country-level studies on vaccination and excess mortality, and I was interested in examining whether person-level data publicly available aligned with my previous research findings. Apr 21 to May 23 is the whole period for which the data are publicly available. If the period were extended, of course, I would include them in my study – the more data, the better. Having said that, the period available gives a fairly good insight into what happened in the aftermath of the vaccine rollout.KH: Can you tell us about your study and the basic results?JA: The study compared monthly mortality rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals aged 10 years and older in England during the specified period. In my study, vaccinated individuals were those who had received at least one dose. The data provided is age-standardized, meaning that different age distributions among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals are accounted for. However, observing differences in mortality may nonetheless be attributed to vaccine hesitancy, which raises concerns. That is, those not taking the vaccine may likely have inferior health at the outset, which can complicate isolating a genuine vaccine effect. To address the issue, I decided to compare all-cause mortality and mortality excluding COVID-19. (access article and figures here) Figure 1A particularly at the beginning of the period shows relatively high mortality among unvaccinated, but as the pattern is similar in Figure 1B concerning mortality not involving COVID-19, a large chunk of the difference can be attributed to unvaccinated having inferior health at the outside (the basic argument in that the vaccine cannot prevent mortality not involving COVID-19). Having said that, comparing the results from those figures, Figure 2A shows that the all-cause mortality, i.e., mortality including COVID-19 (between unvaccinated vs. vaccinated) was higher than mortality not involving COVID-19 (between unvaccinated vs. vaccinated) between July 21 and Jan 22 (the green vs. the orange plot). Having said that, there is a steady decrease in mortality among the unvaccinated compared to the vaccinated (best illustrated in Figure 3), or in other words, a steady increase in mortality among the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated. I cannot find another explanation than the vaccine inducing a long-term increase in mortality. Together, the vaccines may have limited the relative increase in mortality among vaccinated individuals for a short period, but the overall trend points in a negative direction.KH: Did you expect to see a reduction in mortality from Covid initially in the Covid vaccinated group?JA: According to other research, which claims a temporal protective effect, yes. Nation-level analyses I have done show similar trends during the same period (but I have started doubting my previous conclusions, which is a topic for a study I am currently working on).KH: Can you explain why difference in mortality might have not been do to the Covid vaccine protection but the poorer initial health of the non-vaccinated? JA: As Figure 1B excludes mortality related to COVID-19, the only reason for the difference, particularly at the beginning of the period, in my opinion, is that unvaccinated individuals initially had poorer health. That we also know from other research. In Norway, 30% lower mortality among young vaccinated compared to unvaccinated people cannot be attributed to the vaccine since practically zero young people have died from COVID-19 here.KH: When did you notice those vaccinated started having an increase in overall mortality from all causes?JA: In Figure 3, you can observe that it increased among vaccinated individuals from the beginning of the period and decreased among unvaccinated individuals (possibly before, but I don’t have data). On the conservative end, the first months may have been outliers, but the overall trend is nonetheless as reported.KH: How do your findings reflect on the overall mortality increase in those who took the Covid vaccine? Is the vaccine the probably causative agent?JA: The vaccine is probably the causative agent, or at least, I cannot find other plausible explanations for the trends observed in Figs. 2A and 3 (the rollout may theoretically explain it, but I have discussed that). As the period followed an earlier period of excess mortality, one would expect a decrease in mortality; however, this is only observed among the unvaccinated.KH: If this observation is correct of increased overall mortality in those vaccinated with limited benefit of the vaccine it sounds like the Covid vaccine is something that should not be implemented?JA: I agree with you. The vaccine has caused substantial harm, with very few, if any, benefits.KH: Do you have any idea of the causative agent (s) in the Covid vaccine that may be causing an increase in overall mortality (i.e. altered spike protein delivered via lipid nanoparticles being produced for an in-determinant amount of time causing inflammation to vascular, neuronal, reproductive and oncogenic susceptible tissues, or viral contaminants, etc.)JA: As an economist, an expert in numbers but not specifically in medical issues, I leave that issue to other experts.KH: Do we know how long the spike protein remains in the body?JA: Again, I leave that for other experts.KH: How would you further study this topic to corroborate your concerning findings.JA: I have studied international data (from 39 countries with more than one billion people) that I have followed over three years, from 2021 to 2023, as well as US county data (with over 2000 observations) that I have also followed over the same period.

Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2023 Jan 1;20(1):809. AbstractKirk’s Comments: I was first intrigued by this article by the possible positive health aspect for both age groups but, especially the elderly interacting together. From reading about Blue Zone cultures to my own experiences with my grand children being around youth and young life can keep you thinking and acting younger and challenging you in life giving ways. Then after reading about Dr. Norouzi’s background as an architect and education in urban planning I thought do we really want municipalities and local governments to fund and implement such facilities. I have concerns about governmental waste and bureaucracy and the safety concerns of the young children around adults. I ask about them in the interview. If I was going to have a person try and put together such a facility and program in a private business or municipal setting Dr. Neda Norouzi checks all the “positive” boxes of someone who could do this with multidimensional expertise.First her love of family and her “great” grandparent stories and love of children let you know right off how she values family. After she immigrated to this country she worked in daycare for years. Then she has all the academic credentials for urban planning and architecture. And because of her passion for the topic she is the perfect person to oversea such an endeavor. A very interesting topic.

Sci Rep 15, 24435 (2025) Full Article & Abstract [Below is a ChatGPT summary of the unedited transcript from the video above with the article abstract with ChatGPT instructed to summarize and improve the grammar of the interview. This abbreviated summary was approved by Dr. Glen Jeffery and Kirk Hamilton PAC]Improved Vision, Mitochondrial Function, and the Potential Benefits of Long-Wavelength Red Light TherapyAn Interview with Professor Glen Jeffery, PhD, BScProfessor of Neuroscience, Institute of Ophthalmology, University College LondonInterviewed by Kirk Hamilton, PACHost, Staying Healthy Today ShowRecorded: August 7, 2025KIRK HAMILTON:Hi everyone, I’m Kirk Hamilton, your host of the Staying Healthy Today Show—where we explore the fields of nutrition, prevention, and integrative lifestyle medicine. Today, we're diving into a fascinating topic: how longer wavelengths of light, specifically red and infrared, can improve vision and mitochondrial function.When I saw the title of Professor Glen Jeffery’s recent study, “Longer Wavelengths in Sunlight Pass Through the Human Body and Have a Systemic Impact Which Improves Vision,” I was immediately intrigued. As someone who loves sunlight and believes it's benefits are more than just vitamin D I was very interested in talking to him. So, joining us from London is Professor Glen Jeffery, PhD, Professor of Neuroscience at the Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London. Dr. Jeffery, thank you so much for being here today.GLEN JEFFERY:Thank you, it’s a pleasure.Why This Research?KIRK HAMILTON:Let’s start at the beginning. What inspired you to study red and infrared light, and what were you hoping to discover?GLEN JEFFERY:Great question. About 15 years ago, I started seeing consistent evidence in the scientific literature showing that long-wavelength light—particularly in the red and near-infrared spectrum—has beneficial effects on cellular metabolism, particularly in mitochondria.I also wanted to translate our lab findings into real-world scenarios, which is often a missing step in science. So, we did something simple: we exposed people to sunlight and measured what wavelengths actually passed through their bodies. We found that infrared light from the sun does penetrate through the torso, and we measured it coming out the back. That surprised us—but physicists had predicted it.Then, we recreated that sunlight exposure in the lab using specific LED wavelengths (830–860 nm) and tested how that affected vision and mitochondrial function. The results were consistent: infrared light exposure improved vision, even when the eyes themselves weren’t directly exposed.How Light Affects Mitochondria—and VisionKIRK HAMILTON:So how exactly does this type of light improve vision and mitochondrial function?GLEN JEFFERY:Well, mitochondria are the energy factories of your cells. When you hit them with long-wavelength light, they produce more ATP, the energy currency of the cell. That supports improved cellular function across the board.Now, the retina has more mitochondria per cell than almost any other tissue, so it’s an ideal place to see an effect. We used a simple visual test—colored letters on a noisy background—to measure color contrast sensitivity. It’s an easy metric, and we saw improvements within 24 hours of exposure.Sunlight vs Red Light Therapy DevicesKIRK HAMILTON:Was the light in your studies natural sunlight, or did you use red light therapy devices?GLEN JEFFERY:Both. Sunlight has enormous amounts of infrared light—more than any LED device can reproduce. In the study, we first tested people outside and measured which wavelengths passed through their bodies. Then we created a lab device mimicking those wavelengths and got the same positive results indoors.Clothing doesn’t block the infrared light, by the way—it attenuates it slightly but still lets it through. So whether you're wearing a shirt or not, sunlight’s longer wavelengths can still reach your tissues.Practical Applications: Just Go for a WalkKIRK HAMILTON:So, for the average person—is just getting outside for a walk is enough?GLEN JEFFERY:Absolutely! Keep your credit card in your pocket and go for a walk. You’ll get all the infrared light you need—free of charge—and it’s incredibly beneficial.Even on cloudy days, there’s still plenty of scattered infrared light. Water in the clouds does scatter it, but it doesn’t eliminate it. There’s no excuse not to go outside.Critical Care, Architecture, and Incandescent BulbsKIRK HAMILTON:So how does this research apply in places like hospitals or care homes?GLEN JEFFERY:Hospitals and modern buildings are a problem. Most indoor lighting is LED-based, which contains zero long-wavelength infrared light. That’s why we’ve been working with critical care units in major London hospitals to introduce light sources that enrich the environment with infrared.One of the best solutions? Old-fashioned incandescent bulbs. They produce a smooth spectrum of light, very similar to sunlight, including plenty of infrared. They’re cheap, effective, and much better than most “full-spectrum” LEDs.Unfortunately, they're being phased out in both the US and UK for energy efficiency reasons. But from a health perspective—especially for mitochondrial function—incandescents are far superior.Real-World Impacts: Grip Strength, Vision, InflammationKIRK HAMILTON:Have you seen other measurable benefits besides vision?GLEN JEFFERY:Yes, other researchers in London have shown that grip strength improves with similar light exposure. That’s a big deal for aging populations. Better grip strength means improved motor function, fewer falls, and longer healthspan.There’s also a fantastic study from a U.S. city where they planted thousands of trees and found that residents' CRP levels—an inflammation marker—went down. Trees reflect infrared light. So, just walking through greenery can shower you in therapeutic infrared.On Aging, Vision, and Public HealthKIRK HAMILTON:You mentioned earlier vision and aging. Can regular exposure to this light help prevent vision loss, like macular degeneration?GLEN JEFFERY:Yes, we’ve shown that older individuals experience improved color vision after red light exposure. I did a clinical trial for macular degeneration that didn’t succeed—likely due to patient selection—but another UK trial just finished and showed significant benefits in early-stage macular degeneration.This kind of light could become a non-invasive therapy for age-related conditions where mitochondrial decline plays a central role.Final Thoughts: Simple, Free, and Effective!KIRK HAMILTON:This has been incredibly eye-opening. Any final thoughts you'd like to share?GLEN JEFFERY:Sure. Let me say it again: Don’t spend your money. Just go for a walk. The cardiovascular benefits of walking are well known, but now we know it also recharges your cellular batteries—your mitochondria.And to be clear, I have half a dozen expensive red light devices sitting in my office—sent to me by companies. Some of them have $15 worth of parts and sell for thousands. The science doesn’t require that. Just step outside.KIRK HAMILTON:That’s a great way to end. Go for a walk, recharge your mitochondria, and save your money. Thank you, Dr. Jeffery, for your time, your research, and for bringing this down to earth.GLEN JEFFERY:My pleasure, Kirk. Stay well.Key Takeaways:* Infrared light (830–860 nm) from sunlight penetrates deeply through the body and boosts mitochondrial function.* This improves vision, grip strength, motor skills, and likely reduces inflammation.* Sunlight is more effective than most red light therapy devices—and it's free.* Even clothing doesn’t block therapeutic infrared light.* Modern lighting—especially LED—removes infrared, potentially impacting long-term health.* Incandescent bulbs offer a more natural light spectrum and may support better health indoors.Kirk’s Comments: * Dr. Jeffery and colleagues work confirms my own personal experience that feeling better in sunlight goes beyond vitamin D but could be the energy and well-being enhancement of improved mitochondrial function and ATP production (and vitamin D!).* How convenient that you can get a beneficial ATP boosting effect even with your clothes on and even on an overcast day and you are walking through trees! All you have to do is go outside and walk!* The designing of the new Mayo Clinic building on the east coast that will be mostly glass, and Dr. Jeffery’s discussion about patients being close to windows in the critical care units dong better, reminds me after my colon cancer surgery (colectomy). As I was walking in the hospital hallways and I would sit with my back up against the window and feel the warm of the sun coming through the window and how good that felt! Stimulating mitochondria I bet!* I think of how many conditions and patients could improve just by walking or exercising outside!* It was very intriguing that grip strength improved by those getting longer wavelengths of light.* And for those that have macular degeneration get out side and get exposed to full spectrum light.* It left with me a smile on my face with incandescent lights being potentially healing and how we have tried to do away with them. If I can I am going to get a few lamps with incandescent lights for my home.* When in doubt. Keep your wallet in your pocket and go for a walk even on a cloudy day or under trees. You will still get some benefit from full spectrum long wavelength healing light. Your ATP producing mitochondria with thank you…And you might also prevent a fall with improved grip strength.

* Vitamin D is a critical nutrient/hormone in the prevention, treatment and recurrence prevention of colorectal cancer.* Public health officials usually recommend vitamin D levels of 30-40 ng/ml for prevention (2000 IU/d).* Possibly a level of 30-50 ng/ml for treatment and prevention of recurrence (4000 IU/d).* An upper limit of 4000 IU/d for vitamin D supplementation is recommended by public health officials for cancer and chronic disease prevention.* 100 ng/ml of vitamin D3 or above is considered a toxic range of vitamin D though clinical experience shows toxicity symptoms rarely happens.* Experienced clinicians routinely use between 5000-10,000 IU/d attempting to get into the range of 50-75 ng/ml and rarely see levels in the 100 ng/ml range.* Vitamin D toxicity is rare and can be avoided using doses as high as 5000-10,000 IU/d insuring safety by drawing a vitamin D level one month after dosing at these levels and then 2-3 times per year.Kirk Hamilton PA-CPrescription 2000, Inc.Health Associates Medical Group3301 Alta Arden, Suite 3Sacramento, CA 95825(916) 489-4400 (w)krhammer@surewest.nethttps://substack.com/@stayinghealthytodaywww.StayingHealthyToday.comwww.KwikerMedical.comwww.HealthyLivingforBusypeople.com Get full access to Staying Healthy Today at stayinghealthytoday.substack.com/subscribe

Specializing in Medically Important Remediation since 2014James WeberJW Environmental Remediation Services11440 Sunrise Gold Cir Suite 24 Rancho Cordova, CA 95742 916-540-8595 / https://www.jwenviro.com/james@jwenviro.comBackground…James Weber started in the family carpet cleaning business, which led him to having to deal with a lot of water damaged carpets that eventually led him to remediation of the water damaged or moldy areas. After doing remediation he found that he might get called back because the initial assessment was faulty and other areas of the residence were found to be moldy. This happened frequently enough that led him to start doing the initial assessment himself so as not to waste time and come back and treat more undiscovered mold. Therefore he became involved in not only the remediation or fixing of the mold problem but also the discovery of where “all” of the mold was. He doesn’t do the follow-up testing after remediation to “clear” the residence/building from mold. That is done by a 3rd party.Medically Important Assessment and Medically Important Remediation…He uses two terms which are unique - Medically Important Assessment and Medically Important Remediation. Both phrases go beyond just fixing the problem but to do it in a way that the reduces exposure and subsequent medical detoxification which will allow the patient to get well from the conglomeration of systems of what is called “Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRSs).” I encourage you to look at the “Resources for Patients” and the “Resources for Physicians” at SurvivingMold.com. Also I would look at the “Biotoxin Pathway (page 6 diagram)” which gets “triggered” in genetically mold sensitive patients which can result in a wide variety of multiple debilitating symptoms from different organ systems.How to Test and Which Tests… The question of if the client should to do “mold” testing is debatable. From listening to James my guess is he would like people to just call him first and tell him about their current situation. It might be cheaper overall for the client do testing after that discussion. The average cost may be around $1500 but that also depends on the size of the house and it’s location which are important factors. The triad of tests that I do (panel #8 $630-675 from Envirobiomics) include the ERMI test for mold, actinomyces and endotoxins is reasonable if you are trying to convince someone there is an issue in their house of toxic compounds that may be making one sick. There are graded scores on each test that suggest the severity of the results. Getting a good amount of dust sample from different areas in the house is important. Air testing and mold plates are problematic and can result in totally missing a moldy situation used by themselves.Endotoxins can be important as these are organisms that create toxic gases around plumbing.It is important for an independent third party to test the house right after the remediation is done. James feels there would be a conflict of interest if his company tested for mold right after remediation. The home or residence should be tested 4-6 weeks after the remediation as well.A big “red flag” for a remediation company is if they use chemicals. James feels strongly the use of chemicals is not necessary or healthful for efficient Medical Important Remediation.JW Environmental Remediation Services (916) 540-8595 james@jwenviro.com services the Northern California area and sometimes will go out of state.* Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Website* Practice, Persistence and Patience - My Favorite.

Highlights…POST SPIKE SYNDROME (PSS)- DYSBIOSIS - BIFIDOBACTERIA -IVERMECTIN - NATTOKINASE - Post spike syndrome (PSS): Simple solution leading to resolving results, five cases report. ScienceDirect, IDCases, Volume 41, 2025, e02278. Zeballos RS et al. Kirk’s Commentary: In this article 5 cases of dramatic resolution of systemic diseasesare reviewed of females 44-70 years of age, two had both the Covid vaccination and cases of Covid; one had the vaccine and no Covid infection; and two had the Covid infections and no vaccine. The five cases had combined diagnosis of interstitial granulomatous dermatitis, polymyalgia rheumatica, peripheral polyneuropathy, drug-refractory epilepsy and trigeminal neuralgia. *** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LISTENING TO DR. PETER MCCULLOUGH INTERVIEWING Dr Roberto Zeballos is the lead author of the above article from Brazil on this landmark paper on the McCullough Report July 14, 2025. (below)TREATMENT: 1) Four of 5 had 5 days of Cipro 500 mg daily first. The one who didn’t get Cipro because prior to the study period was placed on antibiotics but didn’t tolerate Augmentin but did take moxifloxacin HCL 400 mg for 14 days. 2a) Following the antibiotics was Nattokinase 100 mg twice daily was given for 90 days; 2b) Ivermectin 3 times per week for at least 8 weeks at 6 mg/30 kg (or 6 mg/66 lb; ex. ~130 lb women would take approximately ~ 12 mg daily of Ivermectin); 2c) Bifidobacteria probiotic providing 335 mg twice daily for 90 days (bifidobacter is known to be diminished in Covid patients). Dr. Zeballo does the above treatment 4-6 weeks. Then he refers his patients to his nutritionist. 3a) Dr. Roberto Zeballos’s Nutritionist Phase 1 - Diet: 3 days of raw foods - vegetables and fruit, berries, smoothies. eliminates animal protein/just fruit and vegetables. Phase 2 - Diet next 5 days to 8 weeks a little bit of “protein”, vegetables, raw foods, smoothies, teas.His nutritionist for 14 days no alcohol, gluten (wheat), dairy, sugar and processed carbohydrate.3b) Dr. Zeballos recommends vitamin C regularly increases bifidobacteria and vitamin D sometimes. He doesn’t give very many vitamins. He is concerned about gastritis.3c) Dr. Zeballo’s nutritionist recommends more supplements - beta-glucan, magnesium, selenium, psyllium fiber, bifidobacteria, enzymes, bioflavonoids, macha tea, green tea.4) Exercise regularly5) Meditation6) Dr. Zeballo personally eats for “his body” 5 days a week and 2 days a week he eats for his heart. Small about of alcohol. Takes care of “soul” 2 days per week. Meditates in the sun and exercises.During the pandemic Dr. Zeballos’s medical group treated more than 11,000 patients. Since January, 2023 they observed a “…surge in Post-Spike Syndrome (PSS) case. The number of cases has continued to rise, and we are currently seeing 3-4 new cases per day.” They have treated over 400 PSS patients in this manner with excellent results. Conclusion: This is exciting because somehow the gut microbiota is altered by a Covid infection and/or Covid vaccine (or vice versa), with the implication that the spike protein from either is involved in triggering some type of vasculitis, inflammation or hyperimmune response possible through a leaky gut. The antibiotics may wipe out abnormal gut flora and the reinoculation of the bowel with bifidobacteria helps heal the gut and reduce inflammation. The nattokinase may help break down the spike protein, inhibiting clotting and/or vasculitis to some degree, while Ivermectin applies an anti-iflammatory or antiviral effect. Collectively they heal the gut and reinoculate it, reduce the spike protein, inflammation and immune challenge calming down the external illnesses described. You take these above case studies/article in conjunction last week’s interview with pancreatic cancer specialist from Japan, Makoto Abrue, MD, PhD and his paper Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination as a Poor Prognostic Factor in Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective, Single-Center Cohort Study and you can see what a “catastrophic mess” we are making with the continued promotion of the Covid vaccine which delivers an altered spike protein that can “live” in the body for an unknown period of time and cause metabolic dysfunction resulting in other systemic diseases and symptoms. As in so many illnesses, in fact I can’t think of one that doesn’t, a healthy gut flora and barrier help cure or minimize the expression of the disease. *** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LISTENING TO DR.

Highlights…“Clinical Uses of Magnesium Intravenously and Orally in the Treatment of Migraine Headaches, Headaches and Pain” an Interview with Neurologist and Pain Specialist Alexander Mauskop, MD…Alexander Mauskop, M.D.New York Headache Center30 East 76th StreetNew York, NY 10021 USA(212) 794-3550 / (212) 794-0591 (FAX)drmauskop@nyheadache.comwww.nyheadache.comThe Science Behind Magnesium and Headaches (video); and The End of Migraines: 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain (book); Migraine Headaches and Magnesium, 1996 Expert Interview with Kirk Hamilton PA-C (click on link - control F - search “Mauskop” to find interview)“Clinical Pearls” by Kirk Hamilton PA-C from neurologist Dr. Alexander Mauskop’s “Staying Healthy Today Interview”…* Dr. Mauskop went to medical school in Ukraine right out of high school into a 6 year program. He did his four years of neurology residency in the United States at State University of New York (SUNY, 1979) and two years of pain fellowship at Sloan Kettering. He is a board certified neurologist and pain specialist. He has been treating headaches and pain syndromes for more than 30 years. * Dr. Burton Altura (professor of physiology) at State University of New York exposed him in the early 1990s to the concept of using magnesium in the treatment of migraine headaches and the importance of ionizable magnesium as the most accurate measurement of magnesium (98% of magnesium is intracellular). 50% of patients during an acute migraine attack had lowered levels of ionized magnesium. 1) 2) 3) 4)* The ones that responded to the IV magnesium and had headache symptoms reduced were magnesium deficient/insufficient. (RBC magnesium <5 mg/dl)* Those who respond to intravenous magnesium are generally deficient. Magnesium therapy generally doesn’t work for migraines if the patient is adequate in magnesium (RBC 5-6.4 mg/dl).* Magnesium is routinely given IV (MgSo4 - easily available, cost effective, and has been used in pre-eclampsia in much higher doses 5-6 gms so it is safe) 1-2 gm in 10 mls of normal saline over 5-10 minutes. * Giving it over 5-10 minutes IV push versus a slower drip diluted in more fluid appears clinically to have a better effect (tapering speed to patient flush, warmth, sleepiness, light headedness, etc. if administered too fast). The possible explanation is a higher tissue level with the IV push driving magnesium into the cell versus during a slower IV drip the magnesium may be excreted through the urine. Always administer to patient laying down. * People who are really deficient feel euphoric sometimes and they feel warm but comfortably so. * This 1 gram IV push (in some patients 2 grams) can be done monthly prophylactically or for an acute headache. Always give IV magnesium with the patient lying down.* Oral magnesium can be used prophylatically and the best assessment for the average clinician is RBC magnesium, not serum. Also the general range of RBC magnesium is 4.0-6.4 mg/dl. You want to get to 5 or above to reduce the likelihood of insufficiency. * He usually gives IV magnesium either in subjects with an acute headache and those that come in monthly IV for their shot. * There are many types of oral magnesium products (i.e glycinates, citrates, gluconates, taurates, oxides, aspartates, chelates, threonate, chloride, etc.). Whatever a patient chooses for oral intake should be followed by a RBC magnesium test trying to get a level greater than 5. The only real side effect from oral intake is diarrhea. Oral intake is reasonable between 350-450 mg/d with no GI upset or loose stools. * Take the magnesium at night can help them sleep. * The best time for a monthly injection is premenstrual for women. The magnesium can prevent a headache and reduce menstrual cramps.* Other pain syndromes that may benefit from IV magnesium are the pain of fibromyalgia, IBS, low back pain, shingles, neck pain…conditions that have low or low normal RBC magnesium of less than 5 mg/dl (optimal 5.0-6.4).* Magnesium is a predominantly an intracellular ion and acts as a natural “calcium channel blocker”. It effects over 300 enzyme systems in the body. It may work in migraine by 1) dilation and relaxation of blood vessels inhibiting or reversing blood vessel spasm 2) The magnesium ion “sits” inside the NMDA receptor blocking calcium’s entry and therefore blocking the transmission of pain. 3) Magnesium has an anti-inflammatory effect. * Magnesium deficiency may play a role in migraines by promoting cortical spreading depression, alteration of neurotransmitter release and the hyperaggregation of platelets.* Other nutrients that may benefit migraines: Vitamin B12 (> 500 pg/ml, closer to a 1000 may be more optimal); CoQ10 with levels > 1 mg/L, vitamin D > 50 ng/ml; vitamin B2; omega fatty acids (omega check ~ 5); ginger; alpha lipoic acid.* Food intolerance can play a role. He states the most common cause is sugar. When people consume sugar they may have a low blood sugar response and subsequent headache. Sometimes he will use metformin. Other commonly mentioned foods are: caffeine too much and withdrawal; sweets, chocolate, foods that are smoked, pickled, cured, have preservatives, sulfites, nitrates; cheese, dairy products, gluten. Any food can if particular to that individual.* Dr. Mauskop is a licensed acupuncturist and recommends 3-4 treatments to see if the patient will respond (works for 60% of people). People who really “enjoy” the initial treatment are generally the best responders. * Biofeedback, electrical stimulation may be of benefit.* Meditation is recommended.* There are so many options for headache sufferers. There is always one more thing to try.

Pancreatic Cancer Prognosis Worsened After Repeated Covid-19 VaccinationMakoto Abue, MDDepartment of GastroenterologyMiyagi Cancer Center Nodayama47-1, Medeshima-Shiote, Natori Miyagi, Japan, 981-1293 +81-22-384-3151 tel / +81-22-381-1174 (FAX)abue-ma742@miyagi-pho.jp“Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination as a Poor Prognostic Factor in Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective, Single-Center Cohort Study. Cancers (Basel). 2025 Jun 16;17(12):2006. PDF ( Author Updated 7/10/25)Kirk Hamilton: Can you please share with me your educational background and currentposition?Makoto Abue: First, let me introduce myself. After graduating from Jichi Medical University in 2000, I worked in community medicine for seven years following two years of initial training. Since then, I have worked at the Miyagi Cancer Center for approximately 16 years. During this time, I conducted research on microRNA (miRNA) and obtained a Ph.D... I specialize in gastroenterology and oversee the biliary tract and pancreatic areas. I am currently the head of the gastroenterology department. The academic societies I belong to include the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology, Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, Japan Pancreas Society, and Japan Biliary Association. I mainly perform endoscopic examinations and treatments of the biliary tract and pancreas, as well as chemotherapy. My lifelong goal is to improve pancreatic cancer prognosis. To that end, I am interested in finding tests and treatments that lead to better prognoses. Conversely, I am interested in avoiding or overcoming those that may lead to poor prognoses. My intention is to provide pancreatic cancer patients with as many benefits as possible.KH: What got you interested in studying the role of repeated Covid vaccinations and pancreatic cancer prognosis?MA: As shown in our paper, the prognosis of pancreatic cancer gradually improved until 2020 due to the developments in diagnosis and treatment. However, despite no major changes in our treatment system, the prognoses began to deteriorate from 2021 and worsened significantly after 2022. This period coincided exactly with the start of Covid vaccination, raising concerns that the booster vaccination was having a negative impact. Under these circumstances, I further questioned the situation where repeated vaccinations of three, four, five or six times in a short period of time were recommended. In Japan, there is a lack of sufficient verification of actual clinical data (real-world data) on the efficacy and safety of repeated vaccinations, including additional vaccinations. In particular, we believe that more research is needed on evidence related to additional vaccinations. We have been waiting for the government to conduct such verification, but, as there has been no progress, we have decided to investigate the effects of additional vaccinations at our facility.KH: What is the significance of IgG4 levels in cancer and pancreatic cancer patients specifically? What does the term “immune suppressor” with regards to IgG4 levels mean?MA: IgG4, one of the subclasses of IgG, has attracted attention due to its role in allergic reactions and autoimmune diseases. IgG4-related diseases are a group of diseases characterized by the infiltration of organs with IgG4-positive plasma cells and lymphocytes, accompanied by fibrosis. In the field of pancreatic diseases, these diseases are of interest due to the need to differentiate them from cancer through imaging, as well as their association with cancer. In healthy individuals, IgG4 accounts for only a few percent of all IgGs. The Fc region of IgG4 is characterized by its inability to activate complement C1q and its low binding affinity for Fcγ receptors. This property of IgG4 suppresses excessive Fcγ receptor-mediated immune responses. Furthermore, IgG4 is thought to exert anti-inflammatory effects by becoming a functional unit through Fab arm exchange. Production of IgG4 is induced by antigen stimulation and Th2-type cytokines, such as IL-4 and IL-13. It has also been reported that activation of IL-10-producing regulatory T cells in a Th2-dominant environment further promotes IgG4 production. Thus, high levels of IgG4 suggest that the organism may be shifting toward immunosuppression and anti-inflammation.KH: When you say “spike-specific” IgG4 levels I am assuming you are referring to the spike protein? Why only measure “spike-specific” IgG4 levels? Why not also measure the nucleocapsid IgG4 levels to the SARSCov2 virus?MA: In our paper, “spike-specific” means “spike protein-specific”. This study did not consider nucleocapsid proteins. These proteins are important for studying antibody dynamics, including the effects of infection, and they may further clarify the relationship between vaccines and the immune response. In this study, we examined the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients who received repeated vaccinations. Our focus was on the impact of repeated vaccination rather than infection. Previous studies have reported that repeated mRNA vaccination increases spike protein-specific IgG4. The aim of this study was to validate this finding and determine whether there is a relationship between IgG4 and the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Based on these results, spike-specific IgG4 alone was sufficient for evaluation, and nucleocapsid protein was not measured. However, nucleocapsid proteins may provide additional insight, and this study is a topic for future investigation.KH: Is the spike protein the “toxic,” “inflammatory” or “procarcinogenic” component of the Covid vaccination/booster?MA: The mRNA-LNP platform produces spike proteins and stimulates the production of antibodies. Our study showed that individuals who received three or more doses of the mRNA vaccine had elevated IgG4 levels. The shift to IgG4 is notable for its immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties, and it is an active area of research. Some hypothesize that this response may be due to, or contribute to, excessive or prolonged immune activation. Conversely, others suggest that it is a mechanism of immune tolerance to repeated exposure to the antigen. The precise clinical significance of IgG4 elevation after multiple vaccinations and the role of spike proteins in the potential inflammatory process are topics for future research. Mentioning the "toxicity" and "carcinogenicity" of spike proteins in this study may be difficult. Nevertheless, concerns have been reported about the organ-damaging properties of the spike protein, including its effects on the heart, blood vessels, nerves, and ovaries. Regarding carcinogenicity, some experts are concerned about SV40 contamination, estrogen receptor effects, and effects on tumor suppressor genes. We believe these concerns require further validation.KH: Can you tell us a little bit about your study and the basic results?MA: In our study, when we investigated prognosis in overall survival of pancreatic cancer, we found that those who received 3 or more COVID-19 vaccinations had significantly shorter survival. And when we investigated IgG4 among them, we found that IgG4 was elevated in patients who had received three or more vaccinations, again indicating a poor prognosis (IgG4 was particularly elevated in patients with short prognoses, such as those who died within 90 days). Additionally, regulatory T cells were also prominent in cancer cells of frequent vaccinators and those with high IgG4 levels. It was suggested that frequent vaccinations may lead to immune evasion of cancer, creating an environment conducive to cancer growth. We further investigated the relationship between spike-specific IgG4 and total IgG4. The results showed that spike-specific IgG4 increased markedly with increasing vaccination frequency. Spike-specific IgG4 was positively correlated with total IgG4, and those with elevated spike-specific IgG4 also tended to have higher total IgG4 levels. In other words, repeated mRNA vaccination over a short period of time tended to elevate IgG4, suggesting that the immune balance may have shifted toward suppression. However, this is a single-center, retrospective cohort study with a limited number of cases. Therefore, we believe that further large-scale validation and discussion are needed. We hope that our paper will serve as a starting point.KH: In your opinion should Covid boosters not be recommended in pancreatic cancer patients? How about cancer patients in general? Should they get Covid vaccinations, boosters or initial injections?MA: Based on the results of this study, I would personally be reluctant to recommend short-term, repeated vaccination for all solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer. Our findings may be applicable to many cancer patients. However, our results are based on a single hypothesis from a single-center, retrospective cohort study and are open to further discussion. Public health agencies continue to make recommendations for cancer patients, and we refer readers to these agencies for comprehensive reviews. To date, the benefits have been considered to outweigh the risks. Nevertheless, breakthrough infections following vaccination are now common, and the virus has been attenuated. The number of peer-reviewed papers on various adverse effects is also increasing. For better public health policy, we believe that the efficacy and safety of vaccines need to be reexamined and debated.KH: There has been a term called “turbo cancers” in public social media circles associated with the Covid vaccines. Meaning more cancers occurring in younger patients, with faster progression, or quicker recurrence of cancers and more rapid progression to death in patients with prior cancers. Might this above observation, the elevated IgG4 spike specific antibody levels in cancer patients with more rapid progression, be a cause of these “turbo cancers” and a sound reason not to get further Covid immunizations?MA: Due to the risk of myocarditis and the low severity of

“Clinical Pearls” from Dr. Van on the Importance of Optimizing The Endothelium* PATIENT INSPIRATION TO CHANGE FROM DRUGS TO NUTRIENTS: Patients inspired him by showing improvement in their health by taking supplements such as higher doses of vitamins C and D (5000 IU/d) and a broad spectrum high potency multivitamin/mineral (helped a patient dramatically with a neurologic condition) . This inspired him to look beyond drugs. Drugs give one possible benefit with the possibility of many side effects. Patients also inspired him to look at prevention. * SELF -EDUCATED - Through patients, the internet and physicians such as neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock and hypertension specialist, internist at Vanderbilt University, Mark Houston, MD. * ENDOTHELIUM - The endothelium is the pristine inner layer of the artery lined with a slimy hair-like substance called the glycocalyx that protects us from the atherosclerotic process. The endothelium is the critical inner boundary of the 3 layers of each artery. It is a single layer thick. The endothelium keeps blood flowing smoothly and releases nitric oxide to help dilate the arteries. It is a barrier that protects the artery. The endothelium is said to have a surface area as large as a tennis court. On the inner lining of the endothelium is the glycocalyx discovered 30 years ago which is very fragile, “slimmy” and can be damaged easily, like the endothelium. Things that can damage either are a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excess sugar consumption, uncontrolled hypertension and seed oils. * ATHEROSCLEROSIS: Oxidative stress from mitochondrial energy production can cause endothelial damage leading to atherosclerosis from inflammatory cytokines which attract white blood cells to attach to the endothelium. White blood cells can get through the endothelium into the middle layer and create plaque. Monocytes, a type of white blood cell, can get through the endothelium and become a macrophage which gobbles up damaged LDL cholesterol creating a foam cell causing inflammation, plaque and atherosclerosis. When LDL cholesterol becomes oxidized, it can become smaller and denser, forming small, dense LDL (sdLDL). This transformation is associated with increased atherosclerosis risk. Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is more easily trapped in the artery walls, promoting inflammation and the formation of foam cells, which contribute to plaque buildup. * MEASURING ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION - Vascular elasticity testing measures large arteries (C1) and small arteries (C2) leading to the capillaries and end organs. C2 arteries are much more dependent on good endothelial function and health. The C2 arteries effect oxygen being delivered to the end organ via the capillaries. So having normal C2 function is more important for overall vascular risk than a C1 measurement and is more correlated with overall vascular health. * LIPID PROFILE & CARDIOVASCULAR RISK: A Triglyceride/HDL ratio < 2.0 is optimal to maintain a healthy LDL cholesterol. The closer to one the better. When LDL cholesterol is not oxidized, large and “fluffy” is not a cardiovascular risk factor. This T/HDL ratio can be seen on any basic lipid profile by just dividing the total triglycerides by the HDL number. * DIET: Mediterranean Diet with good fats, organic vegetables, fruits, nuts, low glycemic whole carbohydrates, free ranged meats, fish - olive oil, avocado and coconut oils are optimal. Avoid pastas, processed carbohydrates, high fructose corn syrup, sugars, sweets and seed oils. * CHOLESTEROL: Dr. Van does not believe cholesterol is bad for heart disease. Sugar is the real enemy and high glycemic carbohydrates. * SUPPLEMENTS: Arterosil derived from sea algae (rhamnan sulfate a marine polysaccharide) provides nutrition to the endothelium and glycocalyx. It has been shown to remove plaque in the carotid arteries. He recommends products that make nitric oxide from the endothelium that dilate arteries (beet root derivatives), age garlic extract, omega 3 fatty acids, curcumin, green tea extract, vitamin C, magnesium, N-acetylcysteine, etc. Chelation therapy can be of benefit by helping to reduce heavy metal burden.* EXERCISE: Exercise 150 minutes per week of aerobic exercise - walking, biking, jogging, etc. is recommended for a healthy endothelium. Strength training also helps improve vascular flow to muscles during growth and stress.* BIG PHARMA - Big Pharma owns many aspects of medicine. Drugs are not the answer to improving vascular disease. If you help the endothelium you pretty much helps every organ in the body.

Adrenal Glands, Vitamin C and HealthThe adrenal glands have a very high concentration of vitamin C, among the highest in the body. Vitamin C is crucial for the synthesis of adrenal hormones, especially those involved in the stress response. The adrenal glands are very important in regulating blood sugar, blood pressure, keeping inflammation down and helps detoxify just about anything from poisonings, insect bites, allergic reaction, etc.. The “God Father” of vitamin C in large dosage used clinically is former chest specialist Frederick Klenner, MD which Dr. Lendon Smith excellently collated his works and writings in his small, easily read book, Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C. The Clinical Experiences of Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. abbreviated, summarized and annotated by Lendon H. Smith, M.D.. Kirk’s Comment: I personally don’t get into the different forms of vitamin C to say which is best. I frequently take a sodium ascorbate / ascorbic acid mix (1/4 tsp = 1000 mg) and just flick in on my tongue. Do a little “pucker” and I can feel it almost right away. A little uplift in energy, reduced reaction to a food or environment. Cofactor for Hormone Production:Vitamin C acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in the production of adrenal hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Antioxidant Protection:The adrenal glands are vulnerable to oxidative stress during hormone production. Vitamin C, as a potent antioxidant, helps protect them from damage. Stress Response:During stress, the adrenal glands release more cortisol and vitamin C, and some studies suggest that adrenal vitamin C levels may decrease during periods of stress due to increased utilization. Adrenal Fatigue: Vitamin C can be helpful in managing adrenal fatigue by supporting adrenal hormone production and protecting against oxidative stress.HORMONES - Let's Discuss: The Oft-Overlooked Nutrient That Helps Balance Mood & Hormones.

Highlights…COVID VACCINE - MYOCARDITIS - SENATE TESTIMONY - Dr. McCullough Drops the Hammer in the Senate — FDA Concedes with Expanded Myocarditis Warning. Dr. Peter McCullough’s Senate Testimony Exposes the Full Scope of COVID-19 Vaccine Heart Damage and Death (16:45 min:sec). Nicolas Hulscher, MPH. May 22, 2025. Kirk’s Comments: There are some people who know the literature so well and can “think with clarity under pressure” and just say things with such authority and cardiologist, internist and epidemiologist Peter McCullough is one of them. His short presentation (s) on May 21, 2025 in a Senate Hearing chaired by Senator Ron Johnson on the dangers of the Covid vaccine with special focus on myocarditis is a classic and so incredibly important in stopping this unmitigated disaster which we call the Covid-19 vaccine (i.e. gene therapy). His rebuttal to Senator Blumenthal’s statements that the Covid 19 vaccine saved millions of lives was refuted by these facts below. Share Dr McCullough’s statements (this video) at this hearing with as many people as possible. A lot of lives depend on it. (A Focal Points (Courageous Discourse) subscription supports Dr. McCullough’s work )A) He (cardiologist, internist, epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough) states there has never been a proper randomized placebo controlled trial showing the Covid vaccine reduces hospitalization and death. The Covid deaths have gone down for 3 reasons… (At least watch starting at the 6:42-9:04 of this 16:45 min:sec excerpt from the whole Senate Hearing. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD SHOULD SEE THIS 2 1/2 MINUTES) ***1) Everyone got the infection vaccinated or not which created significant overall population immunity.***2) There was early treatment used from Operation Warp Speed (i.e. monoclonal antibodies) and early multi-drug treatment at home so patients never had to go to the ER or hospital.***3) The virus variants became less lethal with time.These three things occurred concurrently with the vaccine roll out so the vaccine cannot be credited with reduced mortality and the saving of lives. He closes that part of his testimony that we cannot allow the false advertisement that the Covid 19 vaccine saved lives to be posted behind one of our public servants as was shown at this hearing behind Senator Blumenthal. This was a very “POWERFUL AND TIMELY TESTIMONY”!P.S. Also Dr. McCullough noted the drug companies who make the Covid vaccine don’t put in writing that these vaccines saved lives yet Senator Blumenthal had a ”Sign Behind Him” saying so. The vaccines should also all have Black box warnings because there have been documented deaths to the vaccines.

Staying Healthy Today Interview“Are Tattoos a Risk Factor For Skin Cancer and Other Cancers?” an interview with Signe Bedsted Clemmensen, PhD, Assistant Professor, The Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Campusvej 55, DK-5230 Odense M. www.sdu.dk, sbclemmensen@health.sdu.dk.Tattoo ink exposure is associated with lymphoma and skin cancers – a Danish study of twins. “…In conclusion, our study suggests an increased hazard of lymphoma and skin cancers among tattooed individuals, demonstrated through two designs: a twin cohort and a case-cotwin study. We are concerned that tattoo ink interacting with surrounding cells may have severe consequences. Studies that pinpoint the etiological pathway of tattoo ink induced carcinogenesis are recommended to benefit public health…” BMC Public Health. 2025 Jan 15;25(1):170. Kirk’s Comments: In integrative medicine we always look at the total environmental load of the patient which wholistically includes prenatal exposure, diet, environment (mold, allergens, chemicals, metals, EMFs, etc.), physical environment and mental stress. My goal when seeing a patient is to reduce or fix as many “loose spokes” in a person’s “wheel of health” as possible. If the patient can “fix” or tighten “5 or 6” of those “loose spokes” then sometimes with time a tightening of other “loose spokes” of metabolic health fix themselves and the whole person’s wellness improves. Some of the reasons this study caught my attention were: 1) Tattoo shops are everywhere and my “ballpark guess” it seems like more than half of the adults I know have at least one tattoo (don’t hold me to that “guessed-da-fact”. 2) Ink seems to me an obvious toxin, whether it is organic, deemed “non-toxic” or at the other end a known carcinogen or toxin. 3) It is a totally voluntary risk applied to oneself in a world where many risk factors that effect are health seem out of our individual control. 4) Lymphomas might logically be at an increased risk of occurring in tattooed individuals because the ink goes through the skin and gets “filtered” through and concentrated in our lymphatic system first. 5) Ink might set up an inflammatory situation that over time might lead to cancer and other conditions.6) I am not sure why but the first “picture that popped into my mind” when I started to read this article was prisoners in high security prisons with tattoos over the heads, necks, arms and torso and wondered if the load of ink might in someway affect behavior. 7) So for me adding one more thing to my total load such as ink from a tattoo isn’t something I would choose to do. At least not right now. And I doubt that I would recommend tattooing to my patients while they are trying to get well from an illness or who have ongoing problems with their health, especially immune systems that are challenged…or any of my grand children. Other Thoughts Provoked By This Study and Interview…Vitamin D Levels, Diet Surveys of Fruit and Vegetables, Whole Foods and Ultra-Processed Foods and Compare Cancer/Lymphoma Incidence in Those Tattooed? In my discussion with Dr. Clemmensen it was not surprising to me that being tattooed increased one’s risk of getting lymphoma and skin cancers; the larger the tattoo the greater probability of cancer; and there were be more lymphomas because that is the body’s natural filtering system for the skin. But thoughts popped into my mind while listening. I wondered what the vitamin D levels were of those tattooed who got cancer compared to those who did not? Because vitamin D is so important to the immune system and it would be relatively easy to have people take vitamin D on a daily or weekly basis in a socialized medicine situation such as Denmark and then be able to follow that one simple vitamin blood level. Classic vitamin D insufficiency is < 30 ng/ml of 25 hydroxy vitamin D3. Most integrative and preventive medicine physicians I know try and get the level > 50 ng/ml and < 100 ng/ml with 50-75 ng/ml being a frequent target. This is usually accomplished in an adult between 5000-10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. I can tell you even in “sunny” California many people are below the <30 ng/ml mark for many reasons (working indoors, sunscreens, lack of food sources like fish and/or vitamin D supplementation). Dr. Clemmensen said understandably the trials that need blood sampling are much more expensive and take longer than those comparing large databases of those who got the cancer versus those who did not. So I threw out an idea of just putting in a simple diet survey comparing those tattooed who got cancer to those who did not with just a “Whole Food Survey” or the popular term now “Ultra-Processed Foods”, or even a dietary survey comparing the intake of fruits and vegetables in those tattooed that developed skin cancers/lymphomas compared to those who did not. Interesting there is a dietary survey system for Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs)…”The FDA uses the NOVA classification system to evaluate ultra-processed foods, which is the most commonly used scale in nutrition science for classifying foods by degree of processing. The NOVA system categorizes foods into four groups based on the extent and purpose of industrial processing. It's important to note that the FDA's focus is on the level of processing, not necessarily the nutritional content of the food…” 1)Ultra-Processed Foods: Definitions and Policy Issues. 2)Accelerating the Classification of NOVA Food Processing Levels Using a Fine-Tuned Language Model: A Multi-Country Study.Eating Whole Foods, Avoiding Ultra-Processed Foods Made Simple…These are some of Kirk’s simplified dietary guideline on how to eat whole foods (or avoid Ultra Processed Foods) to a patient. Example 1) Imagine you walked into a rural daily or weekly market of a developing country in the town square. There would only be whole food there. You eat fresh foods from the surrounding farms that are mostly vegetables and whole fruit, unprocessed starchy foods (root vegetables, beans, etc.), some raw nuts and small amounts of animal foods. Example 2) You go to a modern day farmer’s market in a city park or under a freeway - you have to be a bit selective but mostly you get whole foods that you can see and can easily avoid the Ultra-Processed Foods that might be sold at the farmer’s market. Example 3) Which I think is probably the most realistic and practical for the masses…”Shop on the periphery “outside” of the grocery store - whole fruits and vegetables, beans and whole good starches (yams, sweet potatoes, whole potatoes, root vegetables), nuts and seeds. Then walk to the other side of the store skipping the middle isles of “HIGHLY” ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS AND OILS and get lean animal foods with minimal dairy products. I have told patients to “shop on the outside of the grocery store” for almost 40 years. I am drifting a bit from the topic of “Tattoos and Skin Cancer/Lymphoma” risk but indirectly I’m not. Whole food diets rich in fruits and vegetables is how we would reduce cancer risk with not only “tattoo ink” exposure but all exposures. Increasing fruit and vegetables, especially cruciferous vegetables, which enhance detoxification, and eating lots of whole fiber rich foods (beans, whole starches, whole grains, non-starchy vegetables) creates a healthy microbiome and also helps bind on to toxins so they can be eliminated versus reabsorbed is cancer protective. …REAL LIFE PRACTICAL “HEALTHY FLASHBACK…” There was a four year period pre-Covid where I flew to Torrance, California weekly and did lifestyle counseling at the Diagnostic and Wellness Center (Now The Farima Czyzyk Center For Cardiac Research and Wellness at the Lundquist Institue - CT SCANNER) and I did a field trip with an Hispanic group to Numero Uno Market (now Superior Grocers) across the street in a strip mall and we walked around the outside (perimeter) of the grocery store pointing out whole foods that were good to eat and how to avoid the middle of the store where the ultraprocessed foods were. Being with the food, in a real life daily setting, just showing the people the foods if eaten 90% of the time could reverse their chronic diseases (i.e. diabetes, obesity, heart disease) was so effective as a teaching tool (and a lot easier for me). Rewarding times! It actuality is that simple to change the health of America (MAHA - Make America Healthy Again scroll down the home page for CD stats) by eating on the outside of the grocery store…We shouldn’t need legislation to “protect us” from eating Ultra-Processed Foods…just common sense and reasonable “vision” to see Whole or the Ultra-Processed Foods in front of us.

Comments: Michael Yon is a decorated combat correspondent and former Green Beret and Specials Forces serviceman who is an expert on international migration and has spent considerable time in Panama and the Darien Gap where migrants make the dangerous trek from Columbia through Panama on their way to the United States. Michael Yon has been critical of President Trump if he doesn’t stop funding the United Nations and does not dismantle the IOM office which is at the location of Fort Clayton the former U.S. Army South Headquarters. There is more than 60 NGOs and IGOs that help facilitate the migrants movement northward with assistance from the UNs IOM and our money in Panama. We (the U.S.) are paying for this mass invasion. Michael feels strongly we can not just temporarily “turn off the spigot” at the Southern border but we have to dismantle the infrastructure to prevent the migration from being “turned on” again. That means stop funding the United Nations and get the IOM and NGOs out of the old Fort Clayton (now called City of Knowledge or Ciudad del Saber). He also notes that China’s influence is strong at the Panama Canal and the U.S. needs to make a stronger presence ASAP! The Panamanian Government would rather work with us than China, but we have to make our presence known. The Panama Canal is one of the major “Choke Points” in the world for international trade and security. Even though this film footage was created on Christmas Day 2024 he still notes the IOM and UN flags are presently flying at the old Fort Clayton right now and he resent this video because he feels so strongly that if the U.S. doesn’t get rid of the IOM and stop funding the UN in this area the “invasion” from the south will just continue at some later date and that could end the United States as we know it.
