the danger of proton pump inhibitors (ppi): PPI forms a covalent bond with your proton pumps and inhibit them until degenerated 72hra later. Your stomach pH goes from a highly acidic 1.5–2.0 to above 4.0 for most of the day G-cells in your stomach produce gastrin to produce more acid, but since the pumps are disabled, the stomach can’t restore normal acid levels. Stomach acid is required to cleave B12 from the proteins and with high pH the B12 won't get absorbed. Also magnesium and calcium and zinc absorption is affected. Stomach pH plays a role in converting non-heme iron (Fe3+) to the more absorbable ferrous form (Fe2+) which can't happen effectively at high pH Pepsinogen the inactive precursor to pepsin requires a low pH in order to break down protein so protein absorption is affected. Bacteria from your mouth and other areas can now colonize the upper GI tract since their growth is no longer inhibited by low pH Stomach acid inactivates C. diff spores, and PPI users have a higher risk of C. diff infection because more spores can survive to the intestines. Long-term PPI use is consistently associated with increased risk of hip and other bone fractures due to the mineral absorption issues. image

my thought on the ketogenic diet: although I can't prove it and have minimal evidence to support it - i hypothesize that ketosis' benefits mainly come from avoidance of the foods that put you out of ketosis such as carbohydrates and many of the processed foods which people eat not from the ketone's themselves a study would compare people in ketosis to people taking exogenous ketones if there's no difference, and participants using exogenous ketones maintained ketone levels just as high and consistently as those with endogenous ketones, it would imply that the ketones are not what's driving the benefits, but more the elimination of terrible food and avoidance of glycolysis

here is my interview with Jamie Andrews, project manager for the viral control studies project. We discuss the basic methodology of viral culture research and the reason why growth medium can produce viral like particles. These viral cultures underpin all of virology as a science. His data shows that it is the starving of the cells that produce the images of viruses that we have been shown since we were little children. When a cell is dying because it is starved of nutrition, it expels its contents as it dies. The process of isolating a virus involves adding a sample from a "infected human" to a cell culture, seeing the cytopathic effects while the cell is also starved on a low nutrient medium, and then isolating the debris and sequencing it. If the debris comes from a starving cell, it puts serious doubts on the idea that the sample from an infected individual caused the cell lysis.

I find it funny that many times after publishing in a peer reviewed journal I have to go to sci-hub to get access to my own pdf
