“In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo describes how a fasting-mimicking diet can reduce markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein and Interleukin-6, possibly by killing damaged cells and regenerating others and resetting the system back to a more youthful state.”

“The idea of a smart phone that is able to replicate itself sounds like science fiction in our current age, but technologies like this could be on the horizon with advanced genetic technologies.”

“Even if mRNA could enter the nucleus, two other enzymes are missing to transform RNA into DNA and insert it into the human genome. Thus, the series of steps that would result in mRNA incorporating into nuclear DNA is biologically implausible.”

“An additional concern that is frequently expressed is that scientists rushed vaccine development. While the usual process was accelerated, none of the required steps were skipped, rather governmental funding enabled many steps to happen concurrently.”

“For example, growing up in an overly hygienic environment increases a child's risk for developing autoimmune diseases, but exposure to dirt, especially from soil, pets, and roaches, in the first year of life may provide protection against asthma and allergy-related skin disease.”
