A vaccine installs information in the immune system about antigen. Exercise (or fasting) distills into various kinds of cell and signaling changes. (Like in the current example with insulin resistance.)Systematic control of the body (and brain) through chemicals or biologics isn't possib

What I find magical about both cats and people is how plastic we are. The point of a regimen is to clamp down against that plasticity ... turn us into robots. I'm no Dionysian. But the idea of clamping out all the variation that allows us to go off a local optimum to find (collectively) a higher

A few thoughts: 1. Medicare and Medicaid could be used a levers to force vaccinations. This is just short of the possibility of not even letting unvaccinated people into hospitals. 2. There must be some hospital chains that are bleeding money. Perhaps now is the time to short those t

It is quite something. How about the Navajo Nation in NM and AZ, and even the counties surrounding them. They have it together. I had heard from a few sources that in much of the S and SW, it was only on the reservations that you saw serious and consistent measures taken to provide for public
