I am wondering whether I could lure you into an intelligent discussion about China and Covid-19 pandemia. Obviously China is still pretty much relying on "zero-tolerance strategy". Is that the key to success? Is there a difference in health policy comparing with Western societies? What happens before and after the Winter Olympics and other big public events?

Vassilis Fouskas, Shampa Roy-Mukherjee, Qingan Huang and Ejike Udeogu in their article "Neo-liberalism, China and Covid-19" argue that China, along with other states that refused to follow the neo-liberal model of financialised capitalism, fared much better in containing the pandemic in their societies.

What do you think about China and Covid-19?

It is rather unclear to me which one of these is better immunologically:

a) vaccination

b) natural infection

I came across studies suggesting that receiving a COVID-19-vaccine does not produce enough of sufficient circulating antibodies to keep the coronavirus away for more than some months. Especially vaccines do not seem to provide enough of memory B cells, which is a typical pattern when you go through the viral attack in a natural way. This gives in some cases "life-long" immunity.

I am not against vaccinations. Just curious to know the differences in the immunological responses produced artificially (vaccine) vs. naturally.

Sincerely yours,

Many people could benefit from limiting carbohydrate intake.

Excellent reading:

We are experiencing a very peculiar situation as the availability of vaccines is not making our lives safer this summer. Are we losing the battle against COVID-19?

Excuse me for asking a very basic scientific question. I am just overwhelmed by the vast abundance of different scientific disciplines (astronomy, biology, endocrinology, surgery etc.). Is there a scientific agreement how new scientific disciplines, branches of science, are formed?

Recently I came across some exotic scientific disciplines, which I had never heard of: Exo-meteorology, Cliodynamics, Recombinant Memetics.

How did these new scientific disciplines gain acceptance? Do you know some very exotic and/or brand new scientific disciplines?

There is an increasing amount of research on the ketogenic diet in cancer therapy. However, I can't find much about this diet in those guidelines produced by governmental cancer research institutes such as American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR). As a matter of fact it seems like the word ketogenic is totally missing from the databases.

Am I missing something?

I wonder whether you could discuss with simply me, whether emotional feelings such as sadness, grief, anxiety, fear of death etc. could be seen on cellular level. Is a positive lifestyle and happiness able to make cells healthier? How do you measure health on a cellular level?

Many cancer patients seem to be better off if they are able to maintain a positive lifestyle and I have found it to be one of the key factors in cancer survival.

Thanks for your attention,

Just curious to know whether there is any data on the accumulation of carbon dioxide inside the face mask. I have heard there might be a 20-fold increase of this gas. Are there any health hazards?

This happened 30 minutes ago and I am still filled with all kinds of mixed feelings, but I want to get this discussion going while it is still fresh and authentic.

Mrs P had breast cancer which had spread all over the body. Metastases in lungs, pancreas and liver. Conventional cancer treatments had been terminated. Nothing could be done to stop the spread and progress of cancer growth. She was planning for her funeral. She had read about PESHLA, a certain collection of methods combining conventional cancer care with complementary and alternative medicine. The methods are briefly described here: https://petrafoundation.com/en/the-peshla-method/ Mrs P contacted me and I arranged a meeting with her and Antti, who is the main inventor of the PESHLA lifestyle. I told about PESHLA's scientific background and Antti taught in his exact way how PESHLA works in practice. We tried to inspire Mrs P to adopt PESHLA and tried to put her towards a positive path in her life. Mrs P said she intended to try PESHLA lifestyle at least for some time to come. Antti and I stayed in contact with her sporadically. She felt better day by day and was following the PESHLA lifestyle every day. Today I received a telephone call from Antti. He told me Mrs P:s cancer had completely disappeared! Cancer could no longer be found in the scans, metastases were absent. Some cancer biomarkers were slightly elevated. Her oncologist said the remission of the cancer is a fact. I will meet P next week and get more details about her current situation.

Should we believe in a miracle? How rare is spontaneous remission of cancer? What is the significance of adopting the PESHLA lifestyle in this particular case?

I am curious to hear your comments.

Vaccine manufacturer Merck Discontinues Development of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 Vaccine Candidates. The company found that the vaccine shots offered less protection than just contracting the virus itself and developing antibodies.

Should we be worried? How big a setback is this in the vaccine development?

Recently I have been able to discuss happiness in life with chronically ill patients (I am a research director at a private cancer foundation). We have realized that both good and bad things happen in life. What seems essential in life is how you react to these events. If events of life (good and bad) are received honestly accepting them as they emerge, then it is possible to experience deep happiness, peace of mind, and joy every day. Even if you are burdened by a chronical disesae.

In the event of difficulties we can learn from good and bad happenings. It seems paramount to find the keys of success in all events of life (good or bad). When good things happen in life, then there is a clear reason to be genuinely grateful and to feel genuine happiness.

We are learning step by step the secrets of a good life by accepting the things that happen to us.

Let’s think about this simple but important thing leading to a happy life: self-acceptance.

I am grateful for any comments and suggestions from you.
