  • The Beljanski Foundation’s upcoming integrative oncology conference is targeted at both health professionals and the lay public with the invitation to come and learn how to prevent and heal cancer using natural, holistic and integrative methods from 22 world-leading doctors and cancer conquerors. Out of this conference the Beljanski Foundation hopes to fund a research programme into natural stem cell treatment for breast cancer. ANH-USA executive director, Rob Verkerk PhD, will be there in person, along with others from the Board and team, to accept a prestigious award and to also attend the conference.

  • Gene editing techniques trigger unintended, spontaneous mutations in the organisms being manipulated. A new study, published in Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering, adds to the ever-growing body of evidence warning of the major risks to health from the use of new genetic engineering techniques and that the use of ‘gene scissors’ could result in major risks to health. More importantly, these changes can’t be detected by the standard analysis used, leading to safety concerns and data misinterpretation. GM Watch provide a breakdown of the study and its implications to human health
  • Gluten causes brain inflammation. A new mouse study, published in the Journal of Neuroendocrinology found that after mice ate gluten, they suffered inflammation of the hypothalamus, the body’s control centre in the brain. Which plays a vital role in regulating our metabolism including blood sugar regulation and weight management. The study provides further insight into potential risks for human health that nutritional practitioners have been aware of for many years. This may be a mouse model, but gluten can have a severe effect on our health and many are unaware of the effects.

  • CBD products in the UK contain less CBD than stated on product labels. A new study from researchers at The Bridge Farm Group, published in the The Journal of Cannabis Research, has found just 5 out of the 63 products tested coming within 10% of the claimed concentrations. The products tested included tinctures, oils, e-liquids and drinks with the oils showing the least amount of deviation from the advertised concentrations. The study, which calls for clearer guidance from regulators on acceptable deviations from advertised levels of CBD in products, comes at a time when there are significant delays in the processing of novel food claims for CBD. It’s worth noting that Bridge Farm has a Bioscience division and is clearly pro maximising onerous regulation in an attempt to lock out small businesses.

  • New research published in Immunity confirms that chronic stress caused by childhood neglect and abuse can have detrimental effects on our mental health later in life. Although the effects of childhood stress and trauma are already well known, the study identifies the mechanisms through which this happens. The rise in stress hormones, particularly glucocorticoids, leads to the destruction of astrocytes, instigating the development of cognitive disorders, anxiety and depression.

  • Prof Vinay Prasad shares an analysis showing the level to which preprint servers, which are not supposed to reject papers, have been censoring scientific papers. He particularly highlights the reluctance of MedRxiv and SSRN to post articles criticising the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccine mandates and the Biden Administration’s health care policies. In Prof Prasad’s case, 38% of the papers submitted since December 2022 have been rejected, yet they have subsequently been published and downloaded many times over. Watch Prof Prasad’s discussion of the issue.

  • People who received mRNA jabs only or contracted covid following injection are more prone to increased levels of IgG4 antibodies according to a study published in Science Immunology. This could impair their ability to fight covid infection, as per Geert Vanden Bossche’s predictions and leaves them at risk of developing a range of immune-mediated chronic diseases.
