The 1918 Rosenau experiments famously failed to transmit influenza under the conditions used. That negative result is historically important, but modern human challenge studies show that influenza virus can reproducibly infect people, including by aerosol.
Recently I went down the rabbit hole of prebiotics. I wasn’t looking for the usual inulin or…
Host biology and the microbiome strongly influence infection outcomes, but that does not mean viruses are imaginary. Modern virology can culture, sequence, image and experimentally transmit viruses while also showing why PCR and symptoms must be interpreted carefully.
PCR and next-generation sequencing are powerful diagnostic tools, but they are not infallible. Contamination, sampling, bioinformatics and interpretation can cause errors, which is why validated controls, reference materials and clinical context matter.
I measured ORP, pH and temperature after producing magnesium-based water at home. The time series is real, but ORP cannot quantify dissolved molecular hydrogen by itself.
The common cold has no proven one-day cure. Most cases are viral and improve on their own. Stress can increase susceptibility after viral exposure, but it does not replace infection as the cause.
Olive oil, vinegar and lemon can be part of a healthy diet, but there is no evidence that a morning mixture cleans arteries or dissolves plaque. Plaque regression is linked to sustained cardiovascular risk reduction, especially LDL lowering.
Over the past few years, I’ve somewhat unintentionally become a “health consultant,” initially for my older relatives…
In our lives, we often encounter situations filled with stress and anxiety, such as an important interview,…
A focused ENT visit is easier when you bring symptom timing, prior tests, medication lists and a few specific questions about diagnosis, testing, treatment, follow-up and red flags.
Stress and mental health can influence behavior, symptoms and quality of life in liver disease, but claims that anger is stored in the liver or that unresolved conflicts cause liver growth are not supported by modern hepatology.
Parasite symptoms are often nonspecific. Diagnosis depends on the suspected organism and may use repeated stool samples, antigen or PCR tests, blood smears, serology, imaging or tissue samples.
Parasitic infections are real but symptoms are usually nonspecific. Diagnosis depends on exposure history and the suspected organism; there is no single test for every parasite, and preventive deworming or homemade herbal mixtures are not appropriate for most people without a diagnosis.
In the late 18th century, a remarkable British scholar and physician named George Staunton embarked on an…
The sun, the radiant star at the center of our solar system, profoundly affects life on Earth…
Let’s begin this article by addressing a misconception. While many associate obesity primarily with poor nutrition and…
Acute Renal Failure (ARF), a critical condition that affects the kidneys’ ability to filter waste products from…
Cracked heels are not merely an aesthetic issue. They are linear disruptions in the skin structure that…
In one of my previous articles, I discussed hijama, also known as wet cupping. A less intense…
