Mold is a term which applies to the many different types of fungi which are found both inside and outside. While certain molds are toxigenic, meaning they can produce toxins (specifical mycotoxins), the molds themselves are not toxic, or poisonous. However, because more than 200 species of mold are toxin-producing, this means that they are …
Approximately 0.5% of people die by suicide. In a given year, this is roughly 12 per 100,000 people. Three-quarters of suicides globally occur in the low and middle-income countries. Rates of completed suicides are generally higher among men than among women, ranging from 1.5 times as much, in the developing world, compared to 3.5 times in the developed …
Lyme disease was used as a bioweapon? You might have seen some of those headlines lately from CBS, Washington Post, and others: “Lawmakers Want The Pentagon To Investigate A Bizarre Conspiracy Theory That The Government Weaponized Ticks And Spread Lyme Disease” “Lyme disease as war weapon? Rep. Chris Smith’s push for probe advances after call …
Recently, I came across an article that sheds a new perspective on the efficacity of the MMR vaccine. The article is entitled: “The declining antibody level of measles virus in China population, 2009–2015”. I tried to find out how long the immunity from the measles vaccine lasts, and surprisingly, I got different answers. The NHS …
I am a scientist I am a Christian. Many people today insist that science can only be done by people who have a secular worldview or at least by those who are willing to leave their religious views at the door as they enter the science lab. Some people believe it is impossible to be …
I have seen it over and over. Thousands of parents can confirm this, as well. A child who regresses into autism after the MMR shot. This vaccine does not contain aluminum or mercury. We all know that these heavy metals are involved and cause autism. But how does the MMR vaccine cause autism when they …
The measles has never been eradicated, ever. This is very dishonest to claim that it is the case. Every year, there are hundreds of cases of measles in this country. Second of all, they claim that “most” of people who got the measles this year are unvaccinated. Again, this is very misleading as 60% of …
You may have noticed this as well. Currently there is a heated debate between 2 groups of people: the pro and anti-vaccines. It seems that they do not agree on anything when it comes to vaccines. The main reason of this big difference is that one group relies on epidemiological studies, whereas the other one …
According to the CDC, the immunization rate in California is somewhere around 98-99%. This makes sense because it is required per the law that children get vaccinated for a variety of childhood infectious diseases. This is more than what they claim we need to reach in order to obtain herd immunity, which is an immunization …
It is time for me to come out of the closet 😊 I must admit that I was a strong proponent of vaccination. I would look at those anti-vaxxers as ignorant, selfish, non-educated and dangerous people to not believe in what we call the greatest achievement in modern medicine. But things started to change when …
