@simonmaechling @annvandersteel Thanks Simon. Like the bogus treatments of Manuka Honey I saw promoted on TV here recently. The NIH alternative treatment initiative never found anything useful I recall.

No wonder the bee population has been under attack.
The deep state BIG PHARMA have known about all of the cures for cancer for decades....
Imagine all the money saved if nature cures cancer.

A tiny bee just did what chemotherapy couldn't. Scientists in Australia discovered that honeybee venom can wipe out 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in under 60 minutes. And the healthy cells around them? Barely touched. The breakthrough came from Dr. Ciara Duffy and her team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, working alongside the University of Western Australia. They tested venom drawn from 312 honeybees and bumblebees across Australia, Ireland, and England. The target: triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer. Two of the deadliest, most stubborn forms of the disease. The weapon: melittin. The same tiny peptide that makes a bee sting burn. At one specific dose, melittin tore through cancer cell membranes completely within an hour. Within just 20 minutes, it shut down the chemical signals cancer cells need to grow and multiply. Bumblebee venom, which lacks melittin, did nothing. Zero effect, even at high concentrations. Scientists then recreated melittin synthetically in the lab and got almost identical results, meaning no bees need to be harmed to develop the therapy. Published in the peer-reviewed journal npj Precision Oncology, the findings are still early-stage. Human trials haven't happened yet. But one thing is clear. Nature has been hiding answers in plain sight all along, sometimes inside the smallest creatures on Earth.

In a healthy person, Gilbert’s disease is a genetic abnormality with increased unconjugated bilirubin in the blood. The yellowness often goes unnoticed but the problem worsens when fasting. I once saw a 65 yo man who started a health diet with less calories and lots of carrot juice (also a cause of yellowness).

@BrianRoemmele I couldn’t afford a C64 so I built a word processor and wrote my first paper on it (24k ram S100 CPM). Won my first Nobel Prize!
P.S. keep up your good work Brian

I took all the money I had and purchased this computer.
I endured endless parades of folks telling me the standard “it’s a toy”, “you wasted your money”.
Well my Commodore 64 made me $12,000 in 1982.
And it made sure I never worked for ANYONE again.
So don’t listen to me.

@agingroy A pity that you imply that microplastics might be harmful. You could make that statement about anything.
English
7,000 false positives per square millimeter. The culprit was the lab gloves.
University of Michigan researchers just upended a core assumption in microplastics science. Latex and nitrile gloves, worn by the scientists doing the measuring, shed stearate particles that look chemically identical to polyethylene. Standard infrared and Raman instruments can't tell them apart. The gloves were counting as plastic.
Seven glove types tested. All contaminated. The cheapest fix: switch to cleanroom gloves, which dropped false positives to around 100 per mm² vs. 7,000.
The "credit card per week" headline (5 grams, WWF/Newcastle 2019) has separate problems. A 2022 re-analysis found severe methodological errors in the original estimate. Actual measured intake is likely 100x lower.
None of this means microplastics are harmless. Last month's data on brain accumulation still stands. But the numbers driving the panic may have been measuring the scientists, not the environment.
Science catching its own errors is exactly how it's supposed to work.

Bambu Labs is illegally restricting people from using its printers with an open source slicer. Watch Louis Rossmann’s @rossmanngroup latest post here: youtu.be/1jhRqgHxEP8?si…
If I upgrade I’d rather pay more for another Prusa printer than help crooks.

@PeterSweden7 It’s just my opinion but engineers I thought were smart had zero knowledge about their own body and how it works.

This should be headline news EVERYWHERE.
A Pfizer insider who was former head of toxicology in Europe has just come out and said something that many "conspiracy theorists" suspected.
He estimates that 20 000 to 60 000 people in Germany have died from the c*vid vaccine.
This was said at a parliamentary enquiry commission in Germany.
So why isn't this massive news being reported everywhere?
Is the mainstream media that has recieved millions in funding from Bill Gates deliberately covering this up... 🤔

Footage from Korea 🇰🇷: A woman camping alone in the snowy mountains was unexpectedly joined by a group of stray cats, drawn by the warmth of the campfire she lit to keep herself warm 🐾🔥. The heat from the fire slowly attracted the mountain-dwelling stray cats to the campsite, and soon the scene turned from a quiet night of camping into a warm, lively, and heartwarming gathering filled with beautiful moments ❄️🐱. The only question left in mind is: how do these cats survive in such cold mountains? 🥶🤔

Dear @elonmusk, sorry to bother you but.. I am a Nobel prize winner but even I can't get sense out of your Starlink support bots and people. You need to have a look at what's happening down there - its failing. I'm at the stage that I'm looking for an alternative. Barry Marshall Perth Australia.

Yeah, fully agree with @DrJBhattacharya... when top journals like Nature and The Lancet openly endorse candidates (Biden in 2020), they've crossed into activism, eroding trust on any politicized topic, including climate.
From my experience as an earth scientist, these outlets often amplify alarmist takes on climate while sidelining nuance on uncertainties, natural variability, or adaptation.
Real science demands open inquiry, not enforced dogma. It's time to reject this gatekeeping: less ideological conformity, more ruthless data-driven debate and pluralism.
Jay Bhattacharya@DrJBhattacharya
Scientific journals like Lancet and Nature, which endorsed Joe Biden for president, are not trustworthy sources to comment on reforms in public health. They traded science for politics, and have not altered course since. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…
