Things Worth Noting
Telomeres, protective caps at chromosome ends, shorten with each cell division, driving aging and diseases like cardiovascular issues, neurodegeneration, and dyskeratosis congenita. Telomerase, an enzyme with hTERT and TERC components, extends telomeres, supporting longevity. Natural activators like 08AGTLF from Centella asiatica (8.8-fold boost), oleanolic acid (5.9-fold), and TA-65 from Astragalus (2.2-fold) enhance telomerase, promoting immunity […]
McDonald’s fries, made from Russet Burbank potatoes, are a fast food icon, but their “dark truth” involves controversial ingredients and health risks. Grown with pesticides like Monitor, potatoes are blanched with sodium acid pyrophosphate and pre-fried in vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean) containing omega-6 fatty acids, linked to inflammation. Additives like TBHQ, dimethylpolysiloxane, and natural […]
Sunscreen protects against UV rays and skin cancer, but some ingredients raise health concerns. Chemical sunscreens with oxybenzone, octinoxate, and homosalate may absorb into the bloodstream, potentially disrupting hormones or causing allergies. Retinyl palmitate might increase cancer risk, while parabens and phthalates are linked to toxicity. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are […]
Canned oxygen, or portable oxygen canisters, delivers compressed, high-purity oxygen for medical, recreational, and wellness use. Ideal for respiratory support, it helps manage conditions like COPD or altitude sickness, boosts sports recovery, and enhances energy in low-oxygen environments. Available in lightweight, non-prescription canisters, brands like Boost Oxygen offer easy inhalation via masks or nozzles. Benefits […]
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) supports muscle growth, fat loss, metabolism, and anti-aging, but levels decline with age. To naturally boost HGH, prioritize 7-9 hours of deep sleep, as most HGH is released during REM sleep. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and weightlifting trigger HGH through metabolic stress. Intermittent fasting, like the 16:8 method, can spike HGH […]
Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is a toxic fungus that grows in damp, humid homes, releasing mold spores and mycotoxins that harm health. Exposure can cause allergies, asthma, chronic sinusitis, respiratory issues, and, in rare cases, neurological symptoms or infections, especially in children, the elderly, or immunocompromised people. Poor indoor air quality from water damage or […]

Mold exposure can harm your health, causing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, respiratory issues, and inflammation. Toxic molds like Stachybotrys (black mold) and Aspergillus release mycotoxins, which disrupt your body’s detox pathways. To detox, first leave the moldy environment and remediate your home using professionals, HEPA filters, and dehumidifiers. Consult a doctor to confirm exposure […]
