The Importance of the Lipid Profile Test

Understanding your heart health is crucial, and a lipid profile test is a key part of that. This simple blood t est measures various types of fats in your blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. Here’s why it's essential:

Assessing Cardiovascular Risk: High cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol, can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Early detection through a lipid profile test allows for preventive measures.

Monitoring Treatment Effectiveness: If you're on medications or making lifestyle changes to manage cholesterol, regular lipid profile tests help track progress and adjust treatments as needed.

Detecting Lipid Disorders: Lipid profile tests can identify disorders like hyperlipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia, which might not show symptoms but can impact your heart health over time.

Comprehensive Health Assessment: Abnormal lipid levels can signal underlying conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or liver disease, prompting further investigation and treatment.

The Impact of High Fructose Corn Syrup on Mitochondrial Function

The Impact of High Fructose Corn Syrup on Mitochondrial Function:

Analysis

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a widely used sweetener derived from corn, has become a major component of the modern diet, especially in processed foods and sugary beverages. HFCS is composed of glucose and fructose in varying proportions, with HFCS-55 (55% fructose, 45% glucose) and HFCS-42 (42% fructose, 58% glucose) being the most common formulations. While the impact of HFCS on metabolic health has been widely discussed, recent studies have shown that it can also exert a detrimental effect on mitochondrial function. This technical analysis explores the biochemical mechanisms by which HFCS damages mitochondria, contributing to cellular dysfunction and a range of metabolic diseases.

Mitochondrial Physiology and Biochemical Function

Mitochondria are highly specialized organelles responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell, through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and involves the electron transport chain (ETC) and ATP synthase. The mitochondria are also involved in regulating cellular metabolism, maintaining redox balance, calcium homeostasis, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by impaired ATP production, altered mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission), and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, is a key factor in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases, including obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Fructose Metabolism and Its Divergence from Glucose

The metabolism of fructose, particularly in the liver, diverges significantly from that of glucose, and it is this divergence that underpins much of the mitochondrial dysfunction associated with HFCS consumption. Unlike glucose, which is predominantly metabolized via glycolysis and the citric acid cycle (TCA cycle), fructose bypasses the rate-limiting step of glycolysis, catalyzed by phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), and is instead phosphorylated by fructokinase to form fructose-1-phosphate. This rapid metabolism of fructose in the liver can overwhelm metabolic pathways and lead to the accumulation of intermediate metabolites such as dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde, which can be further converted to fatty acids and triglycerides through de novo lipogenesis (DNL).

Excessive fructose consumption leads to the accumulation of triglycerides, particularly within hepatocytes, which is a hallmark of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The lipid accumulation in the liver, in turn, exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, contributing to insulin resistance and a cascade of metabolic disorders.

Mechanisms of Mitochondrial Damage Induced by HFCS

Increased ROS Production

One of the most significant consequences of excess fructose metabolism is the elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are byproducts of cellular respiration, primarily generated at complexes I and III of the electron transport chain. Under normal conditions, mitochondria have a robust antioxidant defense system, including enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, which help neutralize ROS. However, when cells are exposed to an overload of fructose, the liver mitochondria become overwhelmed, leading to excessive ROS generation.

Fructose metabolism increases the NADPH/NADP+ ratio, enhancing the activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent oxidases such as NADPH oxidase (NOX), which further amplifies ROS production. These ROS cause oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), lipids in the mitochondrial membranes, and mitochondrial proteins. Such damage impairs mitochondrial function by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential, disrupting the electron transport chain, and promoting mitochondrial fragmentation. Furthermore, mtDNA is particularly vulnerable to ROS due to its proximity to the electron transport chain and the lack of histone protection, leading to mutations that impair mitochondrial replication and protein synthesis.

Disruption of Mitochondrial Biogenesis

Mitochondrial biogenesis refers to the process by which new mitochondria are synthesized within a cell to meet the energy demands. This process is tightly regulated by several transcription factors, most notably peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α). PGC-1α activates the transcription of nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in energy metabolism, mitochondrial dynamics, and antioxidant defenses.

Fructose consumption has been shown to inhibit PGC-1α expression in both liver and skeletal muscle cells. Reduced PGC-1α levels lead to impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, which limits the ability of cells to adapt to increased energy demands. This is particularly concerning in tissues with high metabolic demands, such as muscle, heart, and liver, where impaired mitochondrial function can exacerbate energy deficits and lead to insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and other metabolic disorders.

Mitochondrial Permeability Transition and Apoptosis

Chronic exposure to high levels of fructose can lead to mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), a process in which the mitochondrial inner membrane becomes permeable to ions and small molecules, disrupting mitochondrial function. MPT is typically induced by excessive ROS production, calcium overload, or changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential. The opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) leads to the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, and the release of pro-apoptotic factors such as cytochrome c into the cytoplasm. This, in turn, activates the caspase cascade, promoting apoptosis.

In the context of HFCS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, increased ROS and altered metabolic intermediates, such as ceramides, may trigger MPT and apoptotic pathways, leading to cell death and tissue damage. In tissues such as the liver and pancreas, this can exacerbate the pathological progression of fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.

Fatty Acid Accumulation and Impaired Beta-Oxidation

Excessive fructose consumption induces de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in the liver, leading to an increase in the synthesis of fatty acids, which are esterified into triglycerides and stored within hepatocytes. This accumulation of lipids can overwhelm the capacity of mitochondria to oxidize these fatty acids via beta-oxidation, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. The accumulation of lipotoxic intermediates such as ceramides and diacylglycerols further impairs mitochondrial function by inhibiting key enzymes involved in mitochondrial energy production.

Moreover, the excess fatty acids can impair mitochondrial membrane fluidity, reducing the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation. The lipid-induced mitochondrial dysfunction leads to further oxidative stress, creating a feedback loop that exacerbates the metabolic disturbances caused by high fructose intake.

Clinical Implications of HFCS-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction

The long-term consumption of HFCS has profound implications for human health, particularly in the context of metabolic diseases:

Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes: HFCS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, particularly in liver and muscle cells, contributes to impaired insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis. As mitochondrial function declines, cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): The accumulation of fat in the liver, driven by increased fructose metabolism, leads to mitochondrial damage and dysfunction, which exacerbates the progression of NAFLD to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more severe form of liver disease.

Cardiovascular Disease: Mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiomyocytes can impair ATP production, leading to reduced contractile function and the progression of cardiovascular disease. The increased oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators associated with mitochondrial damage also contribute to vascular injury and atherosclerosis.

Neurodegenerative Diseases: Impaired mitochondrial function in neurons, driven by high fructose intake, may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, as mitochondria play a critical role in maintaining neuronal health.

Conclusion

High fructose corn syrup exerts a significant impact on mitochondrial function through several interconnected mechanisms. These include the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibition of mitochondrial biogenesis, induction of mitochondrial permeability transition, and the accumulation of toxic lipid intermediates. These disruptions in mitochondrial homeostasis contribute to the development of insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other chronic metabolic diseases. Addressing the widespread consumption of HFCS and reducing dietary fructose intake could be crucial in mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction and preventing associated metabolic disease

Hi! This is a request. Something along the lines of Reader sitting on Spencer Reid’s lap as he talks about his special interests and his hands happen to wander all over your body. Make it as smutty or fluffy as you’d like! Thank you!!

wandering • S. Reid

Make it as smutty or fluffy as you’d like, you say??😈😈 I say both. full disclosure, I did write him a bit more dom then my usual. Ty!

word count: 1185

———————————౨ৎ———————————

Spencer liked to talk. a lot.

It bothered people, very frequently actually- but you on the other hand? You thought it was charming. Spencer liked that about you, you were always willing to listen. No matter what station his train of thought was rolling through that day- you’d be there, head resting in your hands, nodding and commenting, your eyes never leaving his.

This particular day, his mind was set on rare neurological disorders. You were sat in his lap on the couch, fidgeting with the ends of his sleeves while he spoke. A nature documentary was playing on your tv, but neither of you were paying attention, so much so you had turned the volume off.

“Oh, another one-“ he grinned,resting his warm hands on your waist. “Metachromatic leukodystrophy. It’s genetic, actually- autosomal recessive.”

“Oh, what does that one do?” You queried, doing your best not to sound disinterested although you were preoccupied with his fraying sweater seams.

“Basically, our brains and nerves are very delicate. There’s a substance called lipids that build up frequently on the brain, spinal chord and peripheral nerves-“ he interrupted his own sentence to place a small kiss on the crook of your neck, sending warmth down through your collarbones. Despite the loving gesture, you frowned.

“That’s sounds scary.”

“It is, it is. Luckily, we all have enzymes whose sole jobs are to break down those lipids. People with Metachromatic leukodystrophy-“

You interrupted with a guess, raising your head to meet his eyes. “Don’t produce the enzymes?”

He grinned. “Exactly, love.”

“I guessed.”

“Well-“ he shrugged. “It was a good guess.” He pressed a kiss to the corner of your lips, going back to his rant. 

“Oddly enough, it actually has similar symptoms to Kuru disease- that’s the one that causes tremors. Only lipids don’t eat away at the tissue,” his hands slowly slid up your sides, caressing your arms and trailing along the curve of your breasts. “..they just block it off.”

You giggled a little at the touch, face warming as you shifted in his lap.

“Stop it.” He said softly, with a smile, guiding your hips down. “It causes a lot of terrible symptoms, anyway. Loss of senses- the most interesting being an inability to detect pain.”

He sneaked another kiss to the side of your neck, a hand moving up to push your hair out of the way. 

“It was discovered in the early 20th century, and three forms emerged. Infantile,” his hands slid down your sides, lips pressing quick, sloppy kisses to your jawline. 

“juvenile,” as his hands slipped over your thighs, caressing the skin, “and adult.” As his hands expertly pushed your knees apart.

Your breath hitched. “Mhm, spence-“

He sighed through his nose. “Are you listening?”

“yeah, yeah, I am, just- keep going.”

His chin rested on top of your head as he firmly grabbed your hips, spinning you around so your forehead was against his chest, your legs straddling him. 

“okay. Pay attention- back to MLD. The infantile form is, of course, the worst, it progresses the quickest and the symptoms are often the most brutal, particularly-“ 

His hands slid between your thighs, sending a rush up your core, and you pushed your head into his chest a little in a sad attempt of soothing your nerves.

“particularly seizures. Because of this, it’s misdiagnosed often, usually for some form of epilepsy.”

Was he really going to do this? While lecturing you about seizures? Jesus, this boy was going to kill you someday.

His fingers traced along the lace of your panties, one hand situated between the plush of your thighs, one on your waist. The contrast between the movements of his hands and the subject matter leaving his mouth was giving you whiplash, but you were so desperate for any kind of physical attention you let him continue speaking. 

“There’s no cure, obviously, there rarely is for anything genetic and neurological.” He spoke, tone never faltering- even as his hand pushed your panties to the side, running along the slick of your folds and pressing a small circle to your clit- causing fireworks to erupt in your core and causing you to let out a long whine, muffled by the fabric of his shirt.

He pinched your side, gently, just as a reminder. “Shhh, love. Don’t you want to hear what I’m saying?”

you managed a shaky nod.

“Good.” He spoke simply, his fingers continuing to work expert circles into you. 

“Anyway- before I was interrupted, I was going to say- there’s no cure, but there’s ways to keep the patient comfortable.”

At this point his voice was sure, constant and gentle, causing you to nearly have to strain to hear him correctly. His hands never faltered- and your muscles clenched, thighs tightening around him as the smell of his cologne enclosed your senses.

Your breath was quick, quieted whines and whimpers peaking through, although muffled by the thick material of his sweater. He continued. “Research, mainly in Europe, is proving stem cell treatment to be beneficial.. but that’s mostly in younger patients.”

Your breath hitched when his fingers just slightly trailed down, circling around your entrance and slowly pushing in as his voice persisted.

“a-ah!”

“Shush. You really need to listen, baby.”

His fingers pushed in and out of you, speed never falling even once. “There’s a drug, that was also developed in Europe- called Atidarsagene autotemcel.”

Your hips circled, his fingers curling as he worked you up to the edge. A choked moan escaped your lips, which he ignored.

“baby, cmon- I was saying, since metachromatic leukodystrophy affects the ARSA gene, the treatment takes hematopoietic stem cells from the patient and genetically modifies them to contain a fake, corrected ARSA gene-“

You moaned into his chest, your thighs clenching tighter around him- one hand flattening onto his back for purchase as his ministrations continued, pulling you closer to your inevitable climax.

“g-god, Spencer, can you just- please,”

His movements sped up. “Please, what? I don’t think you even know what you’re asking for, baby. You don’t have to worry, I don’t plan on stopping.”

You were lost for words, breath leaving your chest as his words began to blur together. You babbled something out, your back arching as fireworks lit up your nerves, pleasure washing over you in the midst of your climax.

“s-Spence!”

You pushed your forehead into his chest as his fingers worked you through your orgasm, his free hand coming up to gently hold the back of your head.

“shh, I know,” his hands withdrew from you, slipping out from your thighs and out from under your skirt. He grabbed your chin and allowed your lips to open, pushing his fingers into your mouth. “Here, taste yourself.”

He watched, desire in his eyes as you licked them clean, your cheeks hollowing. He slipped them out from your bruised lips and pressed another kiss to the top of your head.

When you lifted your still-trembling legs to get off his lap, he furrowed his brows, pouting.

“You’re leaving? I was just about to tell you about prions.”

BRONX, N.Y., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study led by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine involving more than 200,000 adults found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a 29% increase in risk for developing dyslipidemia, a condition involving abnormal lipid (fat) levels in the blood. Seniors and people with type 2 diabetes were even more strongly affected, experiencing an approximately two-fold increased risk for developing dyslipidemia, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. The research was published today in the print edition of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

"Given the extent of the pandemic, this increase in dyslipidemia risk is a cause for concern around the world," said study leader Gaetano Santulli, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of medicine and of molecular pharmacology at Einstein. "Based on our findings, we would advise people to have their lipid levels monitored regularly and to consult with their healthcare providers about ways to treat dyslipidemia if detected, especially elderly individuals and patients with diabetes." He noted that this advice would apply to all adults, not just those formally diagnosed with COVID-19, considering that many people have been infected without realizing it.

To put these findings into context, it has been estimated that 53% of U.S. adults had dyslipidemia before the pandemic; a 29% increase in dyslipidemia incidence due to COVID-19 would mean that 68% of Americans may now be at risk for having lipid abnormalities.

In two previous studies, Dr. Santulli and his team found that COVID-19 raised the incidence of new cases of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. "In those analyses, we demonstrated that the risk of developing these disorders was still high three years after the pandemic; moreover, we noticed a suspicious increase in total cholesterol levels, which warranted a closer look," said Dr. Santulli. In the new study, the researchers first determined the incidence of dyslipidemia in a group of more than 200,000 adults living in Naples, Italy during the three years prior to start of the pandemic (2017-2019). They then assessed the incidence of dyslipidemia in the same group during the three-year COVID-19 period (2020-2022), excluding from the analysis those people earlier diagnosed with dyslipidemia or who had previously been taking lipid-lowering medications.

The investigators found that COVID-19 raised the risk for developing dyslipidemia in the entire study group by an average of 29%. The increase was even higher among people over age 65 and those with chronic conditions, particularly diabetes and obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension. The findings are the most definitive to date because other studies—most of them linking COVID-19 with modestly increased risks for blood-lipid problems—used as control groups different populations or people thought to have gone through the pandemic without becoming infected. However, significant numbers of people classified as "COVID-free" actually developed the disease but were either never tested or didn't seek medical care.

"Our study did not attempt to determine whether participants had tested positive for COVID-19," Dr. Santulli said. "Instead, because we had been following this group for many years prior to the pandemic, we were able to measure COVID's overall impact on the population by simply comparing levels of dyslipidemia in the same group before and after the pandemic. Any increase in dyslipidemia incidence would almost certainly have to be the result of COVID-19."

How COVID-19 might have increased the incidence of dyslipidemia remains unclear. One possible explanation is a finding Dr. Santulli made in an earlier study: that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) disrupts the function of endothelial cells, which line the inside of blood vessels throughout the body and play a critical role in regulating blood lipids.

A separate study found that COVID-19 is a powerful risk factor for heart attacks and strokes for as long as nearly three years after an infection. "This investigation, published online a month after ours, essentially confirms our observations in this study, since dyslipidemia is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Santulli. "It also suggests that tackling dyslipidemia should reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in those who have had COVID."

The researchers are now studying the effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a recently described condition involving four connected medical problems—heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and obesity—all of which involve endothelial dysfunction.

The study is titled "A six-year study in a real-world population reveals an increased incidence of dyslipidemia during COVID-19". The other contributors include: Stanislovas S. Jankauskas, Ph.D., and Fahimeh Varzideh, Ph.D., both at Einstein, Pasquale Mone, M.D., Ph.D., at Einstein and Molise University, Campobasso, Italy, Valentina Trimarco, Raffaele Izzo, Maria Virginia Manzi, Maria Lembo, Paola Gallo, Giovanni Esposito, and Francesco Rozza, at the Federico II University of Naples, Italy, Roberto Piccinocchi, at the Vanvitelli Hospital, Naples, Italy, Carmine Morisco and Bruno Trimarco, at the International Translational Research and Medical Education (ITME) Consortium and Federico II University of Naples, Gaetano Piccinocchi, at the Italian Society of General Medicine, Mario Fordellone and Giuseppe Signoriello, at the Campania University, Naples, Italy.

Lipid rafts are specialized microdomains within the plasma membrane, rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, that play a critical role in organizing cellular processes. These dynamic structures act as platforms for signaling molecules, facilitating key functions such as immune responses, cell communication, and membrane trafficking. 

Recent research has revealed the importance of lipid rafts in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and viral infections. Understanding how lipid rafts organize and modulate cellular activities opens up new possibilities for targeted therapies that could disrupt or harness these microdomains to treat diseases more effectively. As studies on lipid rafts advance, they are proving to be essential components of the plasma membrane's complex architecture and function.

This 👇 was sent to me from a friend. The chat text is my input. Think about it. 👀

White hats are telling their families to turn off cell phones for the Oct 4th EAS test.

From 2-3pm. (There was no indication if the test will be EDT, or will be by time zone.)

Could this be an indication of how the lipid nano particles are planned to be activated using three 1" bursts of 118hz. 5g may be employed for this activation.

This would release the pathogens inside and induce illness on a massive scale--

My thoughts are that this is how they'll begin the next pandemic and a fear based "vax" campaign because people will be so toxic and start dropping dead within weeks.

It has potential to look like ebola as the chimera making the nanobots (probably from graphene) is composed of ebola staphylococcus, brewers yeast and E. coli.

So it could be pretty gruesome if people develop sudden clotting disorders and start bleeding out all of their orifices. I saw this with the 2004(?) SARS patients who were in total organ failure when working in a long term subacute hospital. People will be so freaked out.

These are dots that I have been trying to connect. But the important thing is -- to get the devices shut off because the potential reality is just TOO REAL. 🤔

I've been using Epson salts for almost a year in a 30' hot soak

almost every other day.

Epson 2-3C

Baking soda 1/2-1 C

Borax 1/4-1/2 C

When I drain the tub the following day there was very fine gray "silt"

on the tub bottom even though I'd activated the jets prior to draining the tub.

Two months ago I decided to try magnesium chloride crystals/flakes 2 C instead of epson (MgSO4).

The silt was black! After about 5-6 soaks it began to clear.. so I think lots of graphene/bots (?) had been sucked out with the ionization of the water.

Simultaneously, we'd just started using the fenbendazole 222mg daily to kill the bot producing chimera.

Something is working as my skin no longer burns with the solar flares. Praise god! 🙏🏽

We gotta get this information out there. The potential that the EBS could trigger the next death round and jab campaign is just too real.

Yes... It's theory.

But it's a logical theory. 🤔

Wow, I love this ad tumblr keeps serving me that’s like, hey, want to fast-track developing an eating disorder, don’t eat food just drink water, wanna pay me to teach you how to starve yourself??? People really are just yearning for the emaciated early 2000s but having been there and very nearly died in that aesthetic ecosystem I am aiming a loudspeaker squarely at all my younger followers, screaming at you to reject that shit, rewild your brain, think of how much we cheer for fat bears during fat bear week and how glorious it is for an animal to be well fed. Your organs and connective tissues will thank you. There is so much good peer reviewed research that suggests that having fat and being active is so much healthier than being thin and inactive. I read a paper recently about how healthy fat acts as an organ with immune benefits and longevity boosting qualities. I’m not saying you need to be fat to be healthy, but you do need to have fat. Do what you can. Go for walks, do strength training, eat yummy stuff. If you have mobility issues (like me) be as mobile as you can within your limitations. You do not need intermittent fasting or “water fasting” or whatever some fitspo girlie or gym bro on tiktok or instagram or whatever is selling you. These people are in a death cult. We have been there before. Do not walk willingly into that dark dark place. You are a specific type of animal and you need those lipids to live.

Naomi Wolf about Pfizer's Crimes Against Human Reproduction: "What Pfizer had internally documented is the greatest crime against humanity in recorded history. You would think that the Pfizer papers, internal papers would be centered on breathing and respiratory conditions because COVID is a respiratory disease in many ways. But there's very little about that. It's not what they were looking at."

"What the centrepiece of the Pfizer papers is has to do with reproduction, human reproduction. And it has to do with destroying human reproduction. There's a chart that has like 15,000 women bleeding every day, 10,000 women two periods a month, 7,500 women no periods at all, meaning no children, not fertile. This many women hemorrhaging, this many women passing tissue, 10 year old girls bleeding upon being injected, 85 year old women bleeding upon being injected."

"There's a section of the Pfizer documents that has, concludes that 62% of the adverse events are in women. And that of those, and this is Pfizer's conclusion, 16% are quote, reproductive disorders, end quote, compared to 0.2% for men. They told women not to get pregnant in the trials, but some did anyway. 270 women got pregnant. Pfizer lost the records of 234 of those women illegally. The 36 women whose records survived, over 80% of them lost their babies."

"They also have a chart in there that shows babies getting very sick from nursing vaccinated mothers. Pfizer knew that the lipid nanoparticles traverse every membrane in the human body, so they traverse the placenta. Independent midwives and Dr. James Thorpe have all independently shown me, and as a journalist, I stress independently because when multiple people show you the same thing, it's confirmation."

"So they're all describing nettings of calcifications in vaccinated women's placentas that prevent enough nutrients and oxygen from getting to the baby. So babies are being delivered prematurely, placentas can't grow. I've been sent photographs of these placentas. They're flat, they're not like a comfortable home for a baby. They're discolored."

The Significance of Blood Tests in Addressing Vertigo:

1. Evaluation of Metabolic and Hormonal Factors: Blood tests serve as valuable tools for assessing metabolic parameters like blood glucose and electrolyte balance, shedding light on hormonal imbalances, particularly related to thyroid dysfunction, which contribute significantly to vertigo. Incorporating cutting-edge technologies, such as continuous glucose monitoring, holds potential for real-time insights into metabolic influences on vertigo. Additionally, examining hormonal fluctuations in various life stages, such as menopause, offers a nuanced understanding of vertigo triggers.

2. Understanding Anemia and Blood Disorders: The role of blood in oxygen transport is crucial for preventing vertigo, and conditions like anemia disrupt this process. A comprehensive examination, including a complete blood count (CBC), proves essential in detecting anemia and various blood disorders, providing insights into potential contributors to vertigo. Combining advanced imaging techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with blood tests offers a detailed understanding of physiological changes associated with anemia-induced vertigo. Exploring nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 and iron, enhances the comprehension and management of anemia-related vertigo.

3. Detection of Infections: Blood tests measuring parameters like white blood cell count and C-reactive protein (CRP) offer crucial insights into infections, guiding clinicians toward targeted treatment strategies addressing both the infection and associated vertigo. Advanced molecular diagnostics, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, enhance precision in identifying infectious causes of vertigo. Investigating chronic infections and their potential link to persistent vertigo symptoms adds depth to our understanding.

4. Assessment of Lipid Profile: Abnormal lipid levels, particularly high cholesterol, may compromise blood flow to the inner ear, contributing to vertigo. Lipid profile tests are essential in evaluating the cardiovascular health of vertigo patients, emphasizing the interconnectedness of systemic health and vestibular function. Exploring the impact of lifestyle factors on lipid metabolism broadens intervention possibilities for lipid-related vertigo.

5. Unraveling Autoimmune Contributions: Blood tests detecting antibodies associated with autoimmune conditions play a pivotal role in understanding autoimmune-induced vertigo, particularly in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Exploring immunomodulatory therapies and personalized treatment plans based on autoimmune markers provides insights into managing autoimmune-induced vertigo. Investigating the relationship between autoimmune vertigo and comorbidities adds complexity to our understanding.

6. Monitoring Drug Levels: Regular blood tests for drug levels ensure optimal therapeutic benefits without adverse effects, addressing the delicate balance between pharmaceutical management and vestibular health. Advances in pharmacogenomics hold promise in tailoring drug regimens based on individual genetic profiles to minimize medication-induced vertigo. Additionally, exploring the long-term effects of chronic medication use on vestibular function offers a comprehensive view of medication-related vertigo.

Doctors recommend undergoing full body health checkups, including blood tests and other essential tests, at regular intervals to detect and manage conditions such as vertigo early.

The Facade

Science: the backbone of our world. It is the tool we use to reason, study, explain, and determine everything about our world. Science isn't biased; it's not concerned with the outcome of new information. It doesn't care how long a practice has been trusted. It only focuses on the information we have now and what we can determine from it. Keep that in mind as you read the information presented in this blog.

Most U.S. citizens were raised to trust the CDC's guidelines, follow their doctor's advice, and adhere to the rules these institutions set for society. It’s no secret that our nation's health is in peril: Autism rates are skyrocketing, autoimmune disorders are increasing every year, and chronic illness is rampant. Most importantly, our life expectancy has started to decline. Why is this happening? Why do the institutions in charge of our health keep recommending practices that keep us sick and make them money? Why do most licensed doctors admit they never studied nutrition in their education nor consider it in their practice?

Nutrition is the foundation of health, yet doctors focus solely on prescribing medications to combat the side effects of our poor diets, as well as the side effects from all the other medications prescribed to Americans. The answer is simple: money. Keeping Americans sick is the overriding goal. There is no profit in a cure, and anyone who fails to see that is simply choosing to maintain their safe worldview out of fear. It takes courage to accept that you've been deceived, so I encourage you to have the strength to listen to the facts presented in this blog.

The COVID-19 vaccine represents a new type of "medicine" known as mRNA technology. It works by injecting a lipid nanoparticle that contains instructions for producing antibodies into the muscle tissue in your arm. The nanoparticle is coated in fat so that the cell walls can absorb it and follow its instructions to produce the appropriate antibodies. The immune system recognizes the cell producing something it didn't authorize and labels it as virally infected. It then sends white blood cells to destroy the infected cell. This isn't supposed to be a significant risk because the affected cells are localized in the injection site.

However, one major oversight by the CDC was the decision not to require aspiration for the COVID shots. Aspiration involves pulling back on the syringe before injecting to ensure the needle isn't in a vein or blood vessel. If it is, the doctor would see blood and adjust the needle to ensure the shot is injected into muscle, not intravenously. Without aspiration, many patients received the shot directly into their bloodstream, allowing the lipid nanoparticles direct access to the heart and affecting large numbers of cells there. The immune system destroyed these cells, leaving the heart weakened. Unlike other parts of the body, the heart cannot repair itself quickly. This weakened heart tissue has caused many people to collapse or die on sports fields. If you’ve noticed such cases in the months following mass vaccinations, it’s likely you’ve seen myocarditis, the condition caused by this process, unless censorship hid the videos before you could watch.

Looking back, it’s clear how this happened. The decision to forgo aspiration makes no sense, especially since the vaccine was meant to be intramuscular. The reasoning behind this policy was to prevent vaccine hesitancy—a dangerous and irresponsible choice. No government or authority should be allowed to make such decisions. The fact that this happened is a clear sign that safety was not their priority. Their primary motivation was money, and they developed a system to generate as much as possible.

First, they inflated the severity of COVID to make it seem more deadly than it was. The media, funded by big Pharma (as evidenced by all the drug commercials), instilled fear in the American public. They misrepresented information about alternative treatments like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, both of which are proven to be effective for treating RNA viruses, including COVID. Even though these medications are cheap and readily available, the government and media suppressed information about them. Ivermectin, which is less toxic than Hydroxychloroquine, should have been the first line of defense against COVID. Personally, I used Ivermectin when I had COVID, and all of my symptoms disappeared after two doses within 24 hours. Thousands of cases of successful treatment with Ivermectin exist, and India even made it their primary treatment for the entire country.

Here’s where things get strange: The government cannot issue an "emergency use authorization" unless there are no alternative treatments. In order to push mass vaccination, they set out to discredit and censor any alternative treatment. All major news networks, Facebook, Instagram, Google, and Twitter (before it changed ownership) implemented censorship to prevent "vaccine hesitancy." CNN even mocked Joe Rogan for using Ivermectin, calling it "horse medication." In reality, the inventor of Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize for its use in humans. CNN's portrayal was evil and misleading. The goal was to convince people that vaccination was their only option. Unfortunately, they succeeded, with over 77% of the U.S. population receiving the vaccine. They didn’t just make it seem like the only option—they made it mandatory for those who wanted to attend school or keep their job.

Why are institutions that Americans have trusted for decades committing such heinous acts? Why is science being manipulated? Why is safety not a priority? Why are hundreds of scientists and doctors censored, silenced, and stripped of their medical licenses when they try to go public with this information? Money. In summary, the government struck fear into the public, said the only solution was vaccination, and made it mandatory if you wanted to stay in school, keep your job, or travel. It resulted in $90 billion in profits for big Pharma. No wonder they sought the emergency use authorization. These actions have led to the death or permanent injury of millions of Americans, and the people responsible deserve to be imprisoned for life.

October 29th, 2024

I was going through my notes from my doctor that I switched to after the one I had been seeing all year said she wasn't going to run anymore test. Well... I saw that in the notes it said "possible ficiticious disorder" (similar to hypochondria). It also said that my breasts are normal, my stomach/abdomen is fine, and some other things that ARE NOT TRUE and it's a lie because he didn't even check. He never touched me and wrote that these things are normal. I have a lump in my left breast (that has grown a cup size so now I have a two cup size difference), discoloration, and neuropathy.

Later that day, I saw the oral surgeon. He said he didn't see anything even though I was looking in the mirror and could see the issues. I can feel the swelling in my face because it is tighter now and leaves a dimple if I press on my forehead.

So today, I saw a new Dr who was phenomenal and ordered some pretty intense labs (EDS markers, lupus, lipids, compressive thyroid and metabolic, T-cells, and stuff for my stomach), and she referred me to ENT with heavy suggestions of a biopsy in my throat/neck (finally!). It’s nice to have someone listen and take me seriously. She mainly works with people with autoimmune issues so she knows how to dig.

Yesterday, I also talked with the financial aid advisor from my university. He gave me the contact information for the registrar and said they can help me basically expunge this entire semester and wave my tuition so i don't have to pay anything back, and maybe get a partial refund too. For an awful situation, this is best case scenario.
