An innovative imaging technique helps visualize in real-time how high doses of ibuprofen affect the integrity of red blood cells.
Scientists have now provided real time, label-free images of red blood cells deforming immediately after exposure to high doses of the drug ibuprofen.
“Initially, we were interested in finding the answer to a few simple questions,” explained Peter Nirmalraj, a biophysicist at Empa Laboratories, Switzerland, and a contributor to the study. “Is there a dosage dependent effect of over-the-counter drugs, such as ibuprofen, on red blood cells? If yes, could it be qualitatively and quantitatively capture this effect in a label-free manner?” Continue reading
The Super Bowl commercial breaks were — I am told, having been spared from American advertising given my residence overseas — replete with cancerous cringe.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) routinely labeled accurate news articles as “misinformation” because they went against the government’s pro-vaccine narrative,

This is especially true for our young doctors, indoctrinated into cultrual Marxism for years, rather than experiencing a truly liberal American, western, and Judeo-Christian education.
A recent retrospective study, however, suggests the thymus gland is not nearly as expendable as experts once thought.
Here are some risk factors to have on-radar, according to experts.
Over a twenty-five year period, Dr. William Donald Kelley, a dentist by training, developed a complex approach to treating many chronic and degenerative diseases, including cancer. The three main elements of his metabolic program are nutrition, detoxification, and supplements of pancreatic enzymes. Although the controversial Kansas-born practitioner was condemned as a charlatan by the orthodox medical establishment, thousands; of severely ill patients sought his advice and followed his program, many with reported good results. Today, a number of practitioners claim to be using the Kelley regimen, though whether they actually are is open to question.
