Scariants, Variants – What’s Up With Covid? (#210)

In this show you will learn: Variants of highest concern are infectious, virulent, and evade human immune surveillance. The more people that get Covid, the more we are exposed to new variants. The UK variant, called the “Kent Variant” is more infectious and more virulent and may be a hide-and-seek new “strain” that can make more numbers of people ill, with increasing fatality rates, too. Not everyone has access to” functional interventions”, or doctors to order them (like Ivermectin, nutrients and even nebulized glutathione) so… we need a variety of protective actions. Many states are relaxing mitigation strategies, [...]

A Look at a Lonely Brain

The Year 2020 This year has been a year for me to look loneliness in the face, and taste, digest and process it from every single angle. It’s been challenging. Have had to dig truly deep to stay sane, healthy and motivated. I normally fly to "family of choice" for Thanksgiving. Of course, couldn't. 20 conferences I normally lecture at, interacting with colleagues and friends, were canceled. Dancing stopped. The gym stopped. Let alone going out, stopping. After 6 months I started to slowly and carefully travel again Turns out loneliness can change the brain’s landscape. What does a Lonely Brain [...]
