Do you remember the panic about MonkeyPox at the end of May and early June? We had travel advisories and increasing numbers of cases in Europe, North America, and Australia. Most cases were being reported by the newsmedia to be among homosexual males. Pundits trumpeted on mainstream media that the public would have to start wearing face masks and begin social distancing from people with skin lesions. They suggested that vaccinating everyone against this plague would be the likely scenario. Even though MonkeyPox is related to smallpox (it is a much milder version), it made me wonder why the only solution offered was fighting that threat by injecting everyone with a vaccine. 

Countless studies document the anti-viral effects of zinc in disrupting enzymes (polymerases) necessary for viruses to replicate. Zinc stops influenza, coronaviruses like COVID-19, and many other types of viral infections. The problem is getting enough zinc ions into the cell. Zinc ions have a +2 electrical charge, and a transport vehicle (an ionophore) is needed to carry zinc from the outside to the inside of the cell. These ionophores embed themselves in the cell membrane and allow zinc to cross through to the inside. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), ivermectin, chloroquine, quercetin and other similar compounds serve as these ionophores. 

 According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin cancer is predicted to affect 20% of Americans this year. A study published in JAMA Dermatology in 2022 found that two-thirds of skin pathologists believe skin cancer is overdiagnosed. Overdiagnosis of melanoma is a significant problem because of the physical, emotional, and financial ways it affects patients. Actual melanoma is often terminal. Kathleen Kerr, Ph.D., a lead researcher from the University of Washington stated, "Melanoma diagnoses have been rising in the US. If there were truly an epidemic of melanoma, we would expect that deaths from melanoma would show a corresponding rise, since there hasn't been a major breakthrough in treatment during this time. Yet melanoma deaths have been remarkably constant. This suggests that the rise in melanoma diagnoses is largely due to overdiagnosis." 

Dr. Russell L. Blaylock published, COVID UPDATE: What is the truth? in the journal Surgical Neurology International. This paper, published on April 22, 2022, is the most succinct, well-documented, easily-understood summary of the manmade, COVID-19 pandemic I have ever read. Dr. Blaylock is a retired neurosurgeon who I have followed for over a decade. He minces no words in his assessment of "one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream led by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies." I will highlight a few of his main points below but, if you are like me, you will want to read the entire article. I'm indebted to my friend, David, who brought it to my attention.

The biotech company Calyxt has created a gene-edited soybean oil which is now commercially available to restaurants and food service locations in the United States. The product is called Calyno and contains two inactivated genes which results in an oil with no trans fats, increased heart-healthy oleic acid and a longer shelf life. The gene-edited benefits sound like definite improvements, but the devil is always in the details as I will explain. Calyxt is marketing the product as "non-GMO" although it is obviously genetically engineered. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has exempted gene-editing technology from GMO labeling requirements because no foreign DNA is added to the product. But it is a matter of semantics using smoke and mirrors and it hides the truth from people seeking out real, whole food in lieu of GMOs.
