Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health,, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats by Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: AI-generated items will be cited as such in today’s offering. If readers wish to post AI-generated items in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you. Note: As with Part One, today’s offering is not to be viewed as a “hit piece” on Dr. Sinclair, nor as a denigration on his work. This series is simply focused on aspects of one part of his work.

Part One of this series is here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/07/10/health-friday-7-10-2026-open-thread-er-100-sv40-injected-into-the-eyes-to-reverse-aging-part-one/. Today’s offering is Part Two of two. There are several areas to cover.

First area: continuation of the presentation of WO/2020069373, the Patent (second Patent) template for ER-100, an “invention” by Dr. David Sinclair, PhD, of Harvard University, et al. The Patent is here: https://patentscope.wipo.net/search/en/WO2020069373. The Title of the Patent is: “WO2020069373 — CELLULAR REPROGRAMMING TO REVERSE AGING AND PROMOTE ORGAN AND TISSUE REGENERATION.”

Section 00542 and Section 00543: “TRE-human OSK – SV40 (SEQ ID NO. 105)” — the gene sequence.

Section 00544 and Section 00545: “EFS-human OSK-SV40 (SEQ ID No: 106)” — the gene sequence.

Section “Additional Embodiments”: there are 151 listings of additional embodiments (combinations) of the ER-100 template: Sections numbered 00578 through 00730.

Second area: The initial (first) Patent regarding ER-100, also an “invention” of Dr. David A. Sinclair, et al. This patent is found here: https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docID=WO2020069339&_cid=P22-MRGI4D-39697-1. The Title of this Patent it: “MUTANT REVERSE TETRACYCLINE TRANSACTIVATORS FOR EXPRESSION OF GENES.” The International Filing Date for this Patent was 27 September 2019; the Publication Date was 2 April 2020. Inventors: Sinclair, David, A., et al. Patent Applicants: the President and Fellows of Harvard College, 17 Quincy St., Cambridge, MA, 02138.

The following are short summaries of some of the Claims listed in this Patent:

Claim Number 10: listing of SV40.

Claim Number 22 and Claim Number 23: “SV40-derived terminator sequence.”

Claim Number 30 “Pharmaceutical composition”, followed by Claim Number 33 (includes viruses and AAV); Claim Number 34 (includes SV40); Claim Number 44 (methods) — Claim Number 44 lists doxycyline as “promoting expression of the first transgene.”

Claim Number 45, Claim Number 46, Claim Number 47: 1st and 2nd engineered nucleic elements present in a virus.

**** Claim Number 48: “…wherein the method comprises withdrawing tetracycline.”

**** Claim Number 49: “therapeutically effective amount of [a]-[b] or [a]-[c] are administered to a subject in need thereof.” This refers back to Claim 1 of the Patent above, in which [a]-[b] = the G72 and the G12 positions in the rtTA3 of the composition (SEQ ID NO:11); and, [a]-[c] = the G12 and the F67 positions in the rtTA3 (SEQ ID NO:11.)

Third area: the Clinical Trial (in recruiting) for ER-100: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07290244, “Evaluating ER-100 for Safety in People with Glaucoma or Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (Optic Nerve Conditions.)” Study Start (Actual): 2026-03-02; Primary Completion (Estimated): 2027-05; Study Completion (Estimated): 2032-03; Enrollment (Estimated): 18; Phase: Phase 1. Yours Truly will be discussing items from the “Researcher View” of this clinical trial.

From the “Outcome Measures (Primary)” section: it appears that study subjects will take an 8-week course (56 days) of doxycycline, which is called an “Activation Period.” There are numerous tests that study subjects will take during this “Activation Period”, such as, “Safety Laboratory Tests”, blood tests of various types, etc.; “Changes in Baseline Intraocular Pressure” tests; “Changes in Visual Acuity” tests; among other tests. These tests will be repeated on Day 112 of the study.

From the “Outcome Measures (Secondary)” section: it appears that study subjects have “secondary measures” testing performed during the 56-day doxycycline “Activation Period”, and also repeated on Day 112 of the study, such as: “Change in Baseline in Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) Test Results”; Retinal Nerve Thickness tests; ER-100 viral shedding tests; tests to determine if ER-100 viral DNA has appeared in the aqueous humor of the eye; among others. Study subjects will be followed “for up to 5 years to monitor long-term health and vision outcomes.”

From the “Detailed Description” section: NCT07290244 will have two “study cohorts.” Within each cohort, a “sentinel” study subject will receive an initial dose of ER-100 in an eye. From there, various tests will be performed to investigate whether this dose was tolerated; if it was, the dose will be “approved” by “Data Safety Monitoring Board”, and the other study subjects in the same cohort will receive that dose of ER-100. It appears that increase, or reduction, of the ER-100 dose will also be under the aegis approval of this board.

From the “Intervention” section: this describes the makeup of ER-100. At no point in this section is there any mention of SV40: only the other three “Yamanaka factors” are mentioned (OCT-4; SOX-2; KLF-4.) There is no mention of SV40 being used to “swap out” the fourth “Yamanaka factor” (c-Myc.) Were the study subjects informed that there would be SV40 in the ER-100 dose that would be injected into their eye? https://www.lifebiosciences.com/life-biosciences-announces-first-patient-dosed-in-phase-1-trial-of-er-100-for-optic-neuropathies/, 9 June 2026.

Fourth area: the 2020 paper by David A. Sinclair, et al., the “template” for ER-100: https://ophed.com/system/files/2020/09/s41586-020-2975-4_SMALL.pdf, “Reprogramming to recover youthful epigenetic information and restore vision”, David A. Sinclair, et al.; 2 December 2020.

From the section, “Reset of ageing signatures rather than identity”, the following quotation: “Our first goal was to find a way to reset the epigenome without erasing cell identity. Among the genes expressing the Yamanka factors, Myc is an oncogene that reduces the lifespan of mice (20) and is not required for the initiation of cellular reprogramming (21). We therefore excluded MYC from out experiments…” Based on this, Yours Truly asks this question: If it is true that Myc is an oncogene, and that for this reason, it was excluded from the Sinclair experiments: then why was a known potential cancer promoter element — SV40 — included in the template formulation (composition) for ER-100? Please see below, again from the paper, in the Methods section, subsection “Production of adeno-associated viruses“:

Another quotation from the section cited above: “Next we tested the long-term safety of ectopically expressing OSK in vivo. To deliver and control OSK expression in mice, we engineered a dual adeno-associated virus (AAV) system under the tight control of a tetracycline response element (TRE) promoter (Fig. 1a).”

Referring back to the second Patent for the ER-100 template (WO/2020/069373, presented in Part One of this series), found here: https://patentscope.wipo.net/search/en/WO2020069373, from the Description:

Section 0047: AAV (adeno-associated viruses) may be used in compositions of ER-100. So can any of the recombinant viruses (herpes virus; vaccinia virus; alphavirus; and so on — “alone or in combination.”

Section 00221: list of recombinant viruses.

**** Section 00222 and Table 1.: list of recombinant AAV virus types; Table 1. is the list of AAV serotypes. AAV2 and AAV9 were the serotypes most used in the mice experiments for the December 2020 paper. AAV9 serotypes cross the Blood-Brain Barrier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adeno_associated_virus.)

**** Section 00239, Section 00240, Table 2.: OSK (the Yamanaka Factors OCT-4, SOX-2, KFL-4) “…may be activated…in combination with activating an enhancer of reprogramming and/or inhibiting a barrier of reprogramming.” This sentence is highly significant, in light of the Table 2. Non-limiting strategies to enhance reprogramming. One of the “barriers to reprogramming” that would be inhibited is the p53 protein — the very protein that is the “master control” element in the human body to detect and suppress cancer cells. (https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-our-censored-study-showing, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 19 December 2025; https://www.theqtree.com/author/pavaca1/, search “p53”.)

All of above is aside from the fact that Dr. Sinclair and his co-authors apparently had no issues with simulating eye injury effects in lab mice by crushing the optic nerve of the mice (under anesthesia); and, with simulating glaucoma effects in lab mice by injecting large amounts of microbeads into the eyes of the mice. After which, the mice were evaluated, then eventually euthanized for autopsy. Yours Truly will call these lab mice “Sinclair’s mice” (recall the phenomenon of “Fauci’s beagles” in the NIH-funded experiments with beagle puppies and sand flies: please see https://bfp.org/, the Beagle Freedom Project.)

Yours Truly is not making a case against therapeutic efforts that MAY BE helpful or conclusive in slowing down, stopping, or even reversing, medical conditions such as, certain eye diseases (whether or not these eye diseases are relating to the aging process): therapeutic efforts that MAY work. However, one also believes that therapeutic efforts which include inhibiting the body’s ability to detect and suppress cancer cells (such as, ER-100 containing elements that would inhibit the p53 cancer cell detector / suppressor protein); along with adding a known potential cancer promoter element (SV40) — is not the way to go. Similarly, why would a therapeutic effort need to include potentially using a recombinant virus (such as, ER-100 containing elements of, for example, the herpes virus [see Part One of this series])? If one is reading the December 2020 paper and the Patent WO/2020/069373 for the ER-100 template correctly; and the September 2019 Patent WO/2020/069339 for the “Mutant Reverse Tetracycline Transactivators” correctly — it appears that a tetracycline (doxycycline) is first added into, then removed from, the composition of ER-100, thus requiring a course of doxycyline to be taken by the patient (or, in the case of NCT07290244, the study subjects) to “activate” the “transgenes” in the composition. What happens after the 56-day course of doxycycline that the Clinical Trial NCT07290244 study subjects will take, in order to “activate” the ER-100 in the body? Does the ER-100 just keep working “on its own” inside the body after this course of doxycyline is completed? What happens if the ER-100 stops working, either during the clinical trial, or during the 5-year-follow period? What about the 5-year-long follow timeframe for the NCT07290244 study subjects in general?: Is this out of an “abundance of caution?” Or, is it, so to speak, to use the study subjects as a kind of “long-term human lab mouse study group since actual mice don’t live for 5 years” situation? Is it reasonable to ask: What recourse do the NCT07290244 study subjects have in the event that a serious adverse event occurs to them, either during the study period, or afterwards?

2026.07.14 Daily Thread: The World According To Trade(Bait)

Some fun to start the day!

How about a irrelevant and unimportant deep dive into a totally disrespectful, yet, funny statement used in many endeavors, specially sporting events.

Definitely too much information, even if the subject matter is fully addressed in the first five minutes or so of the video.

Then there is this…

That was a bit strange… and very wet.

The next one is definitely up my alley.

Pepé le Pew with an interesting twist…or thud.

Which leads to…

That’s all folks!

No, really, that’s all folks!

We have reached the end of my run as an author at this time. Some of you are probably dancing in your skivvies and muumuus while shouting “good riddance” in your kitchens. Others may have a more subdued response because you ignored most of them. 😄

It’s all good.

I have been grateful for the opportunity Wolf provided to express my thoughts about past experiences, interests, people, our nation, Christianity, history, politics, business, health and so on. It has been chicken soup, therapeutic, for my soul. To all who spent your time reading and contributing your thoughts – thank you! It is encouraging to authors to know others are willing to spend time considering the subjects and presentations. Please continue to do so with all authors and supporting the efforts of Wolf. I have been humbled and learned much from all QTree members within our community. Being here has led to a better life for me and my family. Besides that, it is just a great place to hang out!

I am not going anywhere. I will still be reading and posting on threads many days. This place of online friends that Wolf has provided means a great deal to me. I just need more time to do other things of importance at home and in the community.

Life Lessons Learned

My mission here is complete for now. My assignment was to help others. That’s it. In so doing I relearned an important lesson that is really important for all of us if we are willing to consider it.

Luke 2:46

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. (ESV)

Regardless of His age, why would the Son of God spend His limited, precious time on earth sitting with the religious teachers of the stubborn, defeated people God chose to bring a light into the world; much less listen and ask them questions? He obviously knew far more than they did. Other Biblical text goes on to say that the religious teachers and others who were present were amazed at His understanding and wisdom as a child.

Some folks suggest it was His status as being both a young human and God and that may be part of it. It seems more likely to me that He was doing what better teachers do; listening and engaging to develop relationships and understanding with those around Him; building credibility of sorts. From that “lesser” position He might have hoped to influence their thoughts and beliefs by asking questions that had the benefit of guiding the participants.

Which led me to,

Proverbs 20:5

The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. (ESV)

Most people keep their innermost thoughts and beliefs to themselves. It takes a person with a sincere desire to listen to understand and care to bring them out of that tightly guarded place. Coincidently, that is Habit #5 in the late Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” – Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood.

In a sense, all of the 7 Habits that Covey provided are Biblically inspired and supported in my opinion. They also work well in this life in many applications. I personally benefitted because I bought into them at one of the lowest periods in my life at 40 years of age. I saw the parallels with them and The Word… and sold out. I felt the contents of that book and subsequent training was provided for me personally as I was retooling spiritually as well as in my career.

Everything changed for the better. I learned I really needed to listen and care about what others thought and had to say, not just give it lip service. I needed to ask more questions and truly listen instead of being self centered and bull headed in my positions. The Lord used this changed attitude and approach to improve my ability to separate the wheat from the chaff as well as when to linger and when to depart in relationships. He imparted more of His understanding, wisdom and discernment. He obviously knew I badly needed it because I was a flat zero in that regard up to that point in my life. From there I learned to help others by asking leading questions for their thoughts instead of “telling” others what they “should” do, say or think. It helped my career blossom. It changed me spiritually and hopefully made me a better husband, father and friend.

I AM

This awakening led to acceptance deep within my being; not just of the words I read on pages from an old collection of books that some non-believers call fables. We know that the Hebrew term of YHWH is synonymous with I AM WHO I AM, which was stated by God Himself to Moses in Exodus 3:14. Knowing that led me to the following. All scripture from this point on will be in the King’s English (KJV) some readers prefer.

John 8:58

Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

I learned the truth that Jesus really is God come to earth. He is The Word as The Word states. It became time for me to personally and spiritually mature in my own life before I could help others better understand who He is; which is The Way, The Truth, and The Life stated later in John 14:6. He stated in that scripture that He is the only path to God the Father.

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Well, there it is again.

This opens it up to the next leading question. Do you want to live eternally with a gracious, loving God in heaven? Jesus taught all of us how. However, that came after He listened to mankind first. Then He would ask leading questions; the ones you read throughout the New Testament of the Holy Bible. The answers led to the key truths of our existence. Yet, many miss those two little words of identification that provide His full authority as God. To fully understand it you need to know deep within you the meaning of Peter’s response. From Matthew 15:15-16,

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And once again…I am.

That was a leading question from the Creator and Savior of the universe that led to the equally great understanding and acknowledgement of who He is as well as the standing of Peter (us).

To conclude these observations, there is this from the back of The Book – Revelation 1:8,

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

You either believe Jesus or you do not. If you do not, just know that you do not receive the benefits of the relationship without the acknowledgement and acceptance of the forever binding contract (covenant) with YHWH that provides release from this earthly prison when you breathe your last breath. You get what you get for as long as you are here. If you do believe and accept Him, the great part is you pay nothing when you sign on. It is free and it provides the immediate release from your bondage to your personal screw ups and death. He paid the cost of entry for you.

My Next Assignment

I will be continuing to help homeschool Grandson #1 and it is likely that Grandson #2 will be coming online with that route later this year. Another primary reason is the Lord has placed on my heart to prepare for a deeper dive into The Word as I respond to His call to mentor and teach in our church. We are in the midst of a building project that is designed to specifically house our rapidly growing children and youth ministries. Upon completion, one aspect of it will lead to Christian homeschooling support groups for children of local families as well as an expanded Parents Day Out program.

Reengaging my desire and ability to employ Habit #5 will not only serve the children and youth better in this initiative of the church; it will be of major benefit to time starved working parents, grandparents and guardians. Once the trust and credibility is built, I hope to help in whatever way the Lord directs my path. Daughter has already signed on to do her part as a Pre-K teacher, which she currently does at another church.

It has not been lost on me that I did not have access to any of this type assistance as a young person. This lack of availability and access proved detrimental to my life into adulthood as well as to others around me with whom I interacted. I want far better for our kids, to give them a leg up in a challenging, sometimes difficult world in which live.

But, there is more. There is a SBC church that has been dying that is located between three thriving SBC churches within a five mile radius. The dying church has a good facility that at one time housed the largest congregation in our area. However, the church leaders during those days felt they needed to build a new, even larger facility on a more accessible major highway nearby. Their congregation was outgrowing the old facility. Once completed the majority of the congregation left for the new location while about 150 stayed. Those who left were proven accurate in their prediction and the new location now has about 2000 members and is still growing strongly. It also provides a playground, soccer fields, and walking trail that our entire community utilizes.

Over the decades that followed the membership that stayed at the former location has slowly dwindled to the point it became difficult to retain even a part time pastor. Today, there are only 11 members in the church that once had over 500. Part of the decline has been due to the strong success of the other three churches. Part is due to a lack of leadership and direction within its congregation. It is a sad situation for us personally as it was in that church that Daughter accepted Christ as her Savior as a young girl visiting their Vacation Bible School. She was baptized there a few weeks later. It was the only VBS she ever attended at a different church or denomination than our former UMC location.

Our three Senior Pastors and church leaders are focused on building the kingdom for Christ, not personal careers and preferences. As a result we will be in partnership together as we commit financial resources, staffing and congregational support to the troubled church. An energetic pastor who has been a local resident for over twenty years has stepped forward and assumed the role. A number of current members in each of our three thriving congregations will be moving to the subject church to seed its revival and ministry into our community, reaching more people for Christ. The intention is to serve the restarted church for six months to a year before returning to home churches as desired.

Our church leaders listened first to understand. They responded to the need as Jesus instructed all of us to do.

Somewhere in there is where the Lord will likely be leading us to serve. Whether it be to help build the children and youth homeschooling ministries where we are, or, charting a new path to the reseeded church. We will listen first and respond as Isaiah did in 6:8,

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” (ESV)

YHWH has a plan. I need more time to prepare for my role in whatever it is as well as be a good husband, dad, papaw and patriot. I will end this series with this simple statement and question asked by Abraham in Genesis 18:25,

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

For you, my friends…

Your Turn

It is your time. As I mentioned beginning a month ago there are a number of you who already possess the skillset to do these Dailies very well. You will have the support of all of us. There are so many paths you can take and it does not have to be elaborate. I just ask that you consider letting Wolf know of your willingness to do so. He has provided a beautiful place to spend your time and his leadership for it will prove fruitful.

Be blessed everybody. In God We Trust. Also, trust Trump and the plan, the Golden Age awaits.

Hidden Things

In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus Christ invites the faithful but weary remnant of believers—those who have come to the end of themselves, worn out, and burdened amid a faithless generation—to come to Him and find rest. He begins by giving thanks to His heavenly Father, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children” (Matthew 11:25). He then praises God for hiding certain truths “from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike” (Matthew 11:25, NLT).

This passage reveals that, through His infinite wisdom and grace, God exercises discretion in determining who will receive revelation of the truth and who will not. The “wise and learned” are those who have intellectual ability, abundant knowledge, and human wisdom, but lack humility and openness of heart. Jesus was speaking about the religious leaders of Israel who considered themselves intellectually superior. They were too proud to come to Jesus, to trust in Him and find rest.

The Bible says that God “in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom,” so He used “foolish preaching to save those who believe” (1 Corinthians 1:21, NLT). God chooses to reveal spiritual truth to those who are humble and dependent on Him, rather than those who rely solely on their own knowledge or status.

These “things” that are “hidden” according to Matthew 11:25 concern the kingdom of God as clarified through Jesus’ actions and teachings. They are revealed only to His followers who, like little children, embody meekness, humility, and spiritual neediness. When the disciples asked Jesus why He spoke to them in parables, Jesus explained, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not” (Matthew 13:11, NLT).

These hidden things include Jesus’ authority and identity as Savior and Son of God. The apostle Paul wrote extensively about the mysterious and hidden things of God, which are understood only by true believers: “No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord … But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets” (1 Corinthians 2:7–10, NLT; see also Romans 16:25–26; Colossians 2:2–3; Ephesians 3:3–6; 1 Timothy 3:16).

God hides the secret mysteries of His kingdom from those who resist the truth. To the proud, His truth is foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:18–31). Paul explained that the gospel message “is hidden behind a veil … from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God” (2 Corinthians 4:3–4, NLT). Without humble dependence and childlike trust in the Lord, no one can see and understand God’s ways (Matthew 18:3–4; 1 Corinthians 2:14; James 4:6; Romans 11:33–34).

Kingdom seekers are those with “ears to hear,” “eyes to see,” and “hearts to understand” (Matthew 13:1–23). They come to Jesus with humble, childlike faith (Matthew 18:1–4; 19:13–15). Coming to Jesus in this way means no longer relying on oneself but trusting in Him. Jesus invites His faithful ones to trust in Him and find rest. In His revolutionary beatitudes—with their inverted view of the world’s value system—Jesus declares, “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs” (Matthew 5:3, NLT).

God the Father reveals His truth to people who recognize their own spiritual poverty. But for those who have closed their ears and hearts to the truth—the worldly wise, proud, and hard of heart—God takes an active role in hiding from them the secrets of His kingdom (see Matthew 13:14–16). They are the faithless ones who are too wise in their own eyes to lower themselves to the level of a meek and needy child.

The proper posture of believers, both now and in Jesus’ day, is modeled in Proverbs 3:5–7:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil” (NLT).

Given 2A, “shall not be infringed” this is totally a ridiculous issue.

Crossing a State Line Shouldn’t Cost You Your Right to Self-Defense

The right of self-defense shouldn’t stop at the border, especially for Americans who have already proven themselves to be law-abiding.

Imagine a woman driving across state lines alone at night, fearful that her car might break down and leave her vulnerable. Or picture a truck driver hauling valuable cargo across the country. In states such as California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Oregon—five of the ten states that refuse to recognize concealed handgun permits from other states—these travelers can find themselves defenseless. Nine states also either deny non-residents permits altogether or make them extremely difficult to obtain.

Last week, President Trump again called for passage of national concealed carry reciprocity. The legislation would allow anyone legally permitted to carry a concealed handgun in their home state to carry across state lines, much as Americans use their driver’s licenses nationwide. The legislation would affect millions of law-abiding Americans.

Much of the gun-control debate centers on hypothetical risks. With reciprocity, however, we don’t have to speculate. With 21.5 million concealed handgun permit holders in the United States, we already know how they behave. In addition, most Americans already benefit from reciprocity. The average state recognizes permits from 30 other states, allowing permit holders to travel legally with their firearms.

Last year, when the House Judiciary Committee passed national reciprocity along party lines, Democrats also opposed legislation that would allow current and retired law enforcement officers with at least ten years of service to carry firearms in facilities open to the public—including schools—while traveling across the country. Given their fear that allowing experienced current or retired law enforcement officers to carry would endanger public safety, it comes as no surprise that they also oppose allowing civilians to carry across state lines.

Congressional opponents of reciprocity warned that permit holders would commit crimes but cited no evidence to support that claim. The facts point in the opposite direction. Concealed handgun permit holders are extraordinarily law-abiding. States revoke their permits for firearm-related violations at rates measured in thousandths—or even ten-thousandths—of one percent. Police officers rarely commit firearm crimes, yet permit holders lose their permits for firearm offenses at only about one-twelfth the rate at which police are convicted of firearm-related crimes.

“This legislation is a dramatic infringement on states’ rights,” claimed Emma Brown, executive director of the gun-control group Giffords, echoing a common criticism. Yet those same organizations routinely advocate federal gun-control laws that override state policy choices.

Opponents also claimed that national reciprocity would confuse travelers about which gun laws apply in each state and lead to more arrests. But reciprocity already exists across much of the country, and no evidence shows that out-of-state permit holders create such problems. Indeed, the same situation exists for drivers when they cross state lines: They are required to follow the driving regulations for the state they are in.

Critics also argue that permit standards vary from state to state. Yet no evidence shows that states with less restrictive permitting systems experience higher permit revocation rates.

Despite these fears, more than 86 percent of police chiefs and sheriffs support national reciprocity, and over 90 percent of rank-and-file officers support concealed carry laws. These officers see firsthand how concealed carry works in practice. They understand that police deter crime, but they also know they usually arrive after the crime has begun. Victims often must defend themselves first. Consistent with that experience, the overwhelming weight of academic research finds that allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns reduces crime.

With tens of millions of Americans legally carrying concealed handguns over many decades, if opponents could identify even dozens of cases in which out-of-state permit holders created serious problems, their concerns would deserve careful consideration. They cannot. Such cases remain exceedingly rare. Americans do not need to guess whether gun-control advocates’ concerns are justified.

Carrying a firearm provides the greatest benefit to those who face the largest physical disadvantages—women and the elderly—and to those who face the highest risk of violent crime, including many poor black residents of high-crime neighborhoods. Not surprisingly, these groups have accounted for the largest percentage growth in permit ownership over the past decade. Between 2015 and 2024, permits held by women grew 112 percent faster than those held by men, while permits held by black Americans grew 284 percent faster than those held by whites.

Real life is not the movies. Most women cannot overpower several larger, stronger men, no matter how well-trained they are. Men also generally possess greater upper-body strength and speed.

A firearm changes that equation. It gives women a far more effective means of self-defense. If an attacker has already closed the distance enough to seize a woman’s firearm, she is already in grave danger regardless.

Peer-reviewed research finds that allowing concealed carry reduces murder rates for both men and women. The reduction for women, however, is roughly three to four times larger than the reduction for men.

The House will likely pass national reciprocity, but it faces a steeper challenge in the Senate. Breaking the expected Democratic filibuster will require 60 votes, meaning at least seven Democratic senators must cross party lines. Those senators need only examine their own states’ experience. Six states represented by 12 Democratic senators—Arizona, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Virginia—already recognize concealed handgun permits from every other state. None has seen a problem with reciprocity.

Police play an indispensable role in public safety. But around 700,000 officers cannot protect over 340 million Americans everywhere at once. Congress should ensure that law-abiding Americans do not lose their ability to defend themselves simply by crossing a state line.

Health Friday 7.10.2026 Open Thread: ER-100: SV40 Injected Into the Eyes to “Reverse Aging”, Part One of Two

The free image of an eye for the header of today’s offering is courtesy of ClipArt and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: AI-generated items in today’s offering will be cited as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated items in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank You.

ER-100: SV40 Injected into the Eyes to “Reverse Aging”: Part One of Two

There is a certain tenured PhD professor in genetics at Harvard University. His name is David A. Sinclair. He is a native of Australia. Dr. Sinclair, and his lab at Harvard, specialize in the study of what ages human beings. He also studies methods and ways to slow down, or even to stop, this aging process. He is the holder of numerous Patents in this regard. Please see: https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/people/david-sinclair. Dr. Sinclair is also the co-founder of a company called Life Biosciences. The company’s statement: “At Life Biosciences, we are on a mission to reverse age-related disease” (https://www.lifebiosciences.com/about-us/about-life-sciences/.) Today’s offering is not to be viewed in any way as a “hit piece” on Dr. Sinclair, or to denigrate his work: instead, it is to present another take on a certain project that he is working on.

Dr. Sinclair believes that he can reverse aging of the human eye (and also, by extension, the mechanisms of human eyesight.) He has been doing research on this subject since before the year 2020. This current year, 2026, Dr. Sinclair, via Life Biosciences, secured $80 Million dollars in funding to put his theories and research into action (https://allsci.com/news/funding/life-biosciences-secures-usd-80-million-series-d-to-advance-er-100-gene-therapy/, 9 April 2026.) The drug that would be used to reverse the aging of the human eye is called ER-100. It is injected into the eyes. ER-100 is immediately hailed as a “breakthrough” drug: including by the alternative COVID-19 treatment entity, Independent Medical Alliance (https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/dr-ryan-cole-and-independent-medical, “Dr. Ryan Cole and Independent Medical Alliance are now promoting an “immortality elixir” containing and known carcinogen, synthetic SV40!”, 26 June 2026.) Also, in January 2026, Life Biosciences secured an FDA clearance for the drug’s IND application for ER-100 (https://www.lifebiosciences.com/life-biosciences-announces-fda-clearance-of-ind-application-for-er-100-in-optic-neuropathies/, 28 January 2026. IND = Investigational New Drug.) Perhaps predictably, this announcement was heralded as a kind of “turning point” for the FDA: https://lifespan.io/life-bios-trial-is-the-fda-warming-to-rejuvenation/, “Life Bio’s Trial: Is the FDA Warming to Rejuvenation?”, Steve Hill, 8 April 2026.

However — the Life Biosciences press release, cited above, mentions only three of the four “Yamanaka factors” that ER-100 would be be utilizing. This is not a small point. And this is where the story gets interesting.

Dr. Shinya Yamanaka (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinya_Yamanaka) discovered proteins, called Transcription Factors, which regulate / control “…the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA [mRNA], by binding to DNA sequences” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_factor.) Dr. Yamanaka reduced the original number of Transcription Factors from twenty-four down to four: OCT-4; SOX-2; KLF-4; and, c-Myc. It is the c-Myc transcription factor that can “go rogue”, so to speak, and foster the growth of cancer cells: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrc904, “c-MYC: more than just a matter of life and death”, Stella Pelengaris, et al. A screenshot of the Abstract of this article is below:

What is SV40 — the element that has been proven to be in both the Pfizer-BioNTech and in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”? Please see:https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/91.2.119, “Cell and Molecular Biology of Simian Virus 40: Implications for Human Infections and Disease”, Janet S. Butel, John A. Lednicky; 20 January 1999. Following is a quotation from the Abstract of this paper: “Simian virus 40 (SV40), a polymavirus of rhesus macaque origin, was discovered in 1960 as a contaminent of polio vaccines that were distributed to millions of people from 1955 to early 1963. SV40 is a potent DNA tumor virus that induces tumors in rodents and transforms many types of cells in culture, including those of human origin.” (Bolding mine.)

Why is Yours Truly including a mention of SV40 here? Because SV40 is contained in ER-100. It is the “swapped-out” protein for the fourth Yamanaka Factor, c-Myc, discussed above. The following screenshot, below, is from the Latypova article on ER-100: a screenshot from the 2020 published paper by Dr. David Sinclair, et al. (which will be further discussed in Part Two.) It is also, in Yours Truly’s opinion, the reason why the Life Biosciences press release, cited above, mentions only three of the Yamanaka Factors — it is possible that the company does not want the public to know that SV40, a cancer-causing element, is contained in the drug: especially in light of the fact that more people are starting to realize that SV40 is in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that they have in their bodies:

In other words: the poly(A) “signal” used in the modified AAV-TRE-OSK element in ER-100 is the SV40 poly(A) “signal.” AAV is “adeno-associated virus vector” element; TRE is the tetracycline-derived element; OSK is the acronym for the three Yamanaka Factors OCT-4, SOX-2, and KLF-4 elements. Thus far, then, ER-100 is comprised of AAV (with the SV40 poly(A) tail) + TRE + OSK-4 + SOX-2 + KLF-4. But this is not the entire story. Yours Truly now turns to the Patent “template” for ER-100, which was “invented” by Dr. David A. Sinclair, et al., Patent Number WO2020/069373, filed on 27 September 2019.

The Patent information for WO2020/069373 is found here: https://patentscope.wipo.net/search/en/WO2020069373. The Patent was filed using an international listing, as opposed to a US Patent listing. The International Filing Date was 27 September 2019. The Publication Date was 2 April 2020. The applicamts for the Patent were the President and Fellows of Harvard College, 17 Quincy St., Cambridge, MA, 02138. The funding for the research leading to the Patent was provided through NIAID grants R01AG019719, and R01DK100263. The Title of the Patent is: “1.WO2020069373 – CELLULAR REPROGRAMMING TO REVERSE AGING AND PROMOTE ORGAN AND TISSUE REGENERATION.” The following are Yours Truly’s summaries of some of the listings in the Description of the Patent:

Section 0002: Lists the NIAID grants that funded the “invention.”

Section 0018: mention of SV40: an “expression vector”, also as a “constitutive promoter.”

Section 0019: SV40 amounts used in the composition of the “invention.” These amounts range from AT LEAST 70%, up to 100% “in certain embodiments.”

Section 0033: the “invention” will contain a tetracycline (example: doxycyline.)

Section 0034: the “invention” may include TRE (a Tetracycline Reverse Element (a promoter.))

Section 0035: areas of the body where the “invention” can be used. Examples: eye; ear; nose; mouth; bone; breast; lung; pancreas; cardiac muscle; liver; skin; heart; intestine; testis; ovary.

**** Section 0047: the “compositions” of the “invention” may include “any of the recombinant viruses” (e.g. alphavirus; vaccinia virus; herpes virus; AAV; etc.)

Section 0074: types of ocular diseases the “invention” can be used for.

Section 00109: description of the Gain-of-Function techniques used to produce the “invention.” Section 00100 and Section 00111 further describe the Gain-of-Function techniques used.

Section 00133: the “invention” can also use a “tetracycline-controlled transactivator” called MUTANT REVERSE TETRACYCLINE.

Section 00200: the “invention” will use a nanoparticle called NANOPLASMID. (For more information on NANOPLASMID, please see: https://www.aldevron.com/custom-manufacturing/nanoplasmid/faq.)

Section 00263: start of listings of the “engineered nucleic acids”, “engineered cells”, “engineered proteins”, and “chemical agents” that the “invention” will use to induce “expression” of the OCT-4, KFL-4, and/or the SOX-2 factors cells.

Section 00294: start of discussion and listings of the various cationic lipids that the “invention” will use in “certain embodiments.” Examples: Lipofectin (DOTMA + DOPE); DOTMA separately; DOSPA; DDAB, etc.

Now, from the above, thus far, ER-100 is comprised of: AAV (with the SV40 poly(A) tail) + TRE (Tetracycline Reverse Element promoter) + OSK-4 + SOX-2 + KFL-4 + possibly “any of the recombinant viruses (Section 0047) + a MUTANT REVERSE TETRACYCLINE TRANSACTIVATOR FOR EXPRESSION OF GENES (Section 00133) + NANOPLASMID (Section 00200) + a cationic lipid (Section 00294.)

It also appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that ER-100 for use to “reverse aging in the eye” may be only the first application of Dr. Sinclair’s “invention.” It appears that the “certain embodiments” of his “invention” can potentially be used to “reverse the aging” of many areas and organs of the human body.

To be continued in Part Two.

2026.07.07 Daily Thread: The World According to Trade(Bait)

I hope all enjoyed the outstanding 250th celebration of Independence Day! It was a very special day in the Trade home. The grill was sizzlin’ as is the heat in this neck of the woods. Spent the evening watching the DC celebration on TV while Daughter and family enjoyed the area fireworks show on their boat out on the local lake. We went outside this evening some as well since the fireworks around us were pretty special. It went on until about 2:30 AM. It has been so hot and humid you could cut the air with a knife even at midnight.

Quick Berberine Update

Following up on last week’s health update, I wanted to bring up a product wifey has started taking instead of the NOW version of Berberine with a separate cinnamon supplement. The positive results hit quickly. If it meets your budget try the following:

It absorbs into your system easier and more quickly. It has the ceylon cinnamon and milk thistle supplements in the same capsule. It’s still relatively early in her retooling, but it sure looks she is saying buh-bye to Amlodipine for good. BP is great everyday and no spikes in months.

Past Independence Day Celebrations

Casting aside the times of my youth that were painful, the good times we had as a family and community have me reminiscing. I began thinking back and remembering the July 4th tradition our family had that was inspired by my WW II veteran father when I was a growing up in the Middie land of southwest Ohio. Even in an active battle zone of a home from warring parents at times, which lasted until his death; around the 4th it was a simpler time of fun, laughter and no responsibility. There were also specific orders to not get in too much trouble, which I managed to disobey a time or two. 😇

I remember the splashing of water from garden hoses and slip ‘n’ slides on the ground in the yard. Water balloon fights were held when it was more fun to lose than win. A game of Jarts (lawn darts) would threaten to poke holes in young bodies, but was fun none the less.

Not darts – those are Jarts. https://t.co/IIB3imtubb
— Catturd ™ (@catturd2) July 4, 2026

Cornhole of today is just a wussy version of Jarts of yesteryear.

At some point in the day there would be an ice cream or popsicle. Like most days in summer, there would always be the climbs to the top of the maple tree in the front yard. Funny, we never heard any parent say not to do it or we might fall and break our necks. Folks seem to let kids be kids more and none of us fell out of the tree. Jumped – yes. Fell – no.

😄

Then there were the bike races up and down the sidewalks terrorizing the neighborhood. There were the clothes pins that attached baseball cards that made the spokes on the wheels give off slapping noises to help mimic a loud exhaust of the muscle car or Harley in our young imaginations. Sometimes we would hit the the monkey bars at the playground of our school down the street. It was open to the public everyday, no attorneys to kill the fun and make the school put up fences to keep us out. When dinner would roll around there were picnics with lots of choices.

None of the parents were worried that something bad would happen to us. People were different back then. I am sure bad things happened occasionally in some places, but we were unaware. We had the run of the whole area as kids and nobody ever got hurt beyond a scrapped knee or accosted by a pervert. The adults seemed to always look out for one another’s kids anyway. Nobody was a afraid of being sued or falsely accused of a crime. So many of the fathers were military veterans. Messing with the kids would not be on any wannabe thug’s or pervert’s dance card.

One 4th celebration we visited the new Armco Park as a family; a company owned recreation park for employees of the old Armco Steel Company. Steel mill friends of my dad would gather there and invited us to tag along. They cooked out on grills while families enjoyed all the fun things to do. It was there that I ate my first grilled spare rib and it was heaven. They had a 100+ acre lake in which to fish and ride pedal boats. It was a nice environment to walk hiking trails and play on the softball fields. The park still exists. It was sold to the county a couple of decades ago by the Japanese corporate majority owner of Armco. A link about the park is below.

https://www.warrencountyparks.com/warren-county-armco-park

It was also there that I first grabbed a golf club and played their short executive course with my dad and some of his work friends. I never forgot it. I was hooked even though I knew we would never be able to afford for me to play. It inspired me to be a 12 year old caddie at a local golf club near our house. It was the only time I caddied while not really knowing anything about how to do it. It rained like crazy and the golfers quit after 7 holes. Caddies were paid only by tips and I received nothing, which is exactly what I deserved. The golf bag felt like it weighed as much as I did and I ruined a pair of shoes in that rain. I never went back, the experience was miserable along with my caddying.

Our rites of summer around the 4th always included a pick up baseball or softball game that would get going with the adults choosing sides. Paper plates would serve as bases. The team with the youngest players always won – wink, wink. The fireworks would start with sparklers, firecrackers, black cats, M80’s, and bottle rockets. It was amazing what could happen when they were stuffed into empty Coke bottles. 😂 If our parents could manage the time with wild children running everywhere, we would go to a park area in town where the city would have a fireworks show.

Other evenings around the 4th and in the summer would bring a quieter time in our home’s small sun room. Dad’s Zenith multi-band radio sat out there in warmer weather months. Each evening in the summer and especially around the 4th we would gather around the radio and listen to a Cincinnati Reds game on whichever assigned radio station of the team for the year – WKRC, WCKY or WLW – unless they were playing on the west coast. We did not have air conditioning back then; but did have a fan, Cokes, and the cool of nightfall to help us enjoy the evenings. If the game was boring or out west and on too late for me to stay up, the fireflies (lightning bugs) out in the back yard would keep us entertained until it was time to hit the sack.

I wonder why it all seemed so right? Hmmm…

Public Service Announcement

IT IS TIME TO BUILD THINGS AGAIN, AMERICA!!!

In those days – the late 50’s into the 60’s – America was about building, exploring, innovating. We still had pride in our country and people. We worked TOGETHER. Well, at least until the globalist cabal scum and neocons with the help of the clowns, murderers, race hustlers and thieves took control of our government and media. In the process they shipped a lot of our younger working age men to southeast Asia to die or drug themselves into oblivion.

See how that works? Don’t fall for it again, America. Head down, eyes on the prize. The Golden Age awaits. Instead, let’s go back to rewarding character, hard work, and using intelligence that is useful to humanity. Let’s defend against overreach of government tyrants and those who would use and abuse. Let’s introduce true justice for all and have stiff penalties for those who commit acts against this nation and its citizens. Let’s ignore or even ridicule the propagandists along with the fake judges. Let’s focus on substance, not silliness and minutia. Let’s center ourselves on what God would approve and whole lot less on carnal desires. Let’s also spend more time on enjoying our lives and each other.

Back To The Story

College and the Arkansas misfire years brought very few memories of activities around the 4th. An occasional fun charity golf tournament or barbecue outing would occur, but life there was not focused on celebrating our nation and its independence. That was probably because there were so many Democrats in the state back then. 😂

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/poll-finds-only-27-percent-democrats-plan-display

Fortunately, the Huckabee’s and other We the People patriots reversed the Arkansas curse of Demoncraps in control and keeping the state from fulfilling its promise.

Moving to my beloved hills of east Tennessee and later marrying the love of my life, the stars began to align as they should. People here were far more patriotic and wanting to celebrate. There were huge fireworks shows in the city along with the famous annual 4th of July music celebration with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra at the former World’s Fair site that is still a thing today. Country music stars and tourists poured into the area. Some stars performed outside Dollywood in Patriot Park among other venues that were followed by fireworks shows. Tennessee is known as the “Volunteer State” for good reasons. Patriot pride runs deep and has served our nation well over centuries.

Even our neighborhood got together around the 4th. One year a recently divorced neighbor friend opened his property for all of us. He had 40 acres with horses for the kids to ride. We gathered at his place and nuked some burgers on the gas grill. Everybody brought covered dishes and the kids played outside until it was time to light sparklers and firecrackers in the evening. Wifey and I were inside our friend’s home talking with neighbors when our young daughter came in with big eyes and said, “Fire!” We all laughed and told her that, yes, those were sparklers and the grill was smoking; that all was OK. She shook her head and said, “No – fire!” and pointed toward a field beside the home.

Yup, the kids had set the brush on fire throwing sparklers and firecrackers around. It had been a dry period and conditions were prime for a wildfire. All of the adults sprang into action and got the water hoses going while putting out all of the sparklers. Our friend, who was in law enforcement, called the area’s volunteer fire department to make sure. So the kids were treated to the firemen and fire engines, which they thought was the coolest thing ever. When finished the firemen stopped to enjoy the scene with the kids, showing them the equipment and letting them activate the siren and lights. The food and beverages were made available and enjoyed by all.

When we got home that evening Daughter looked at both of us and said, “See, told ya there was a fire.” She has never let us live it down. However, I concede the little booger might have prevented a much bigger problem from happening.

😂

Special Salute To Vets

I am going to focus on one who I knew the best, however, please know that our family has the deepest respect for every man and woman who has served our nation in uniform. God bless all of you.

In my Veteran’s Day story about our fathers, I did not know what I have since discovered in research concerning my father’s service in the Naval Air Force in the Japanese theater of WW II. He never completely opened up about those days. He was always modest about himself, his accomplishments and connections in life, so it is not all that surprising. I think I now know more about why.

Soon after the victory by our forces at the massive bloodbath known as Okinawa, Dad’s wing was assigned to the air base established on that Pacific island. I have a dozen old photos he took of it while stationed there. He was a radar/radioman/electrician on the newly revamped PB4Y-2 Privateer bomber that had a crew of eight. There are lots of photos of it and his mates. The Privateer was first derived from the B-24 Liberator used in the German theater. With this upgraded version they were assigned patrol and bombing duties of shipping routes along the coasts of Korea and China. In 1945 there were only a small number of the planes placed into service as the design and manufacture was still being adapted and performance monitored before going into full production. It was designed to excel in low altitude flying conditions when they targeted ships with new radar guided glide bombs. Basically, the wing of bomber personnel Dad was assigned to were the flight and electronic beta testing (guinea pigs) for this redesigned plane. There were reasons to believe the plane would perform well, but nothing was known with certainty yet.

Each plane had a dozen 50 caliber guns and was able to take on Japanese fighters successfully. As you might guess the primary gunner was nicknamed “Gunny” and Dad had previously told me he was quite good at his role along with the pilot. He never expanded on his role, but Dad had been trained to employ their Electronic CounterMeasures (ECM) that could detect enemy radar and communications. I found his training manual and designation in his old military records. ECM was critical to their survival due to the low altitudes they flew in their assignments. It turns out Dad’s proficiency probably contributed greatly to his crew mates survival and mission success. Growing up, I always wondered how he developed an uncanny ability to isolate his concentration on one thing when everything around him was in chaos. Finding this information and learning more was a light bulb moment for me all these years later.

After learning those things I dug deeper into historical naval reports and discovered that safe returns were not always the case with others in their wing. For example there were three flight crews in his wing that performed similar missions that were lost in the same month of July 1945. Two were lost after successfully bombing Japanese ships, but went down in the ensuing battle. They were lost off the Korean coastline. The other was lost after a run somewhere further out to sea. There were no survivors in any of the three.

He never discussed any of that. When I asked he would just say their crew was assigned patrol. Based on the old photos that he took from the plane as well as of his crew mates, there was much more that he just did not want to discuss. He had even taken a couple of aerial photos of Nagasaki post Fat Man (atomic bomb) that was dropped by that B-29 Superfortress. Dad’s crew were assigned patrol in the area afterwards. There were many photos of life in Shanghai, China, including some of the locals, residences and other buildings. He preferred to focus on the good and just did not want to go into detail about the dangers and horrors of war he experienced, which was typical of him. He saw himself as a protector of his family and friends living his own predestined life until it was time for it to end.

He did say he was just doing his job and what was right. Most of his mates were like him in that they were just kids when they enlisted, however, many came out scarred and hardened men. In contrast I appreciate the kindness my father openly displayed with everybody even more now than I did when he was alive. He let many of the hits of life slide off his back including the issues with his mentally ill wife, my mother, who made all of our lives miserable at times. This is one extremely thankful and proud son who can always look back and be confident that I loved, honored and respected my father while he was alive. That continues with his memory. Wifey felt the same way about him as he was always kind and helpful to her. She knew she was loved. I felt the same about her awesome veteran father.

These revelations from the research have brought added meaning to that folded flag from his military honors burial ceremony that is on display in our home. We take comfort in knowing he along with her father helped America achieve its 250th birthday and miss them both every single day.

Greatest generation, indeed.

It’s Your Turn

This would be a good time for me to conclude and open the thread to comments for all of you to share your experiences and memories of this very important holiday in our nation’s history.

Happy 250th birthday, America! May God bless and protect this nation for as long as time exists.

Always remember JFK’s famous quote – “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.“

Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.

Before all things and people – In God We Trust. Also, trust Trump and the plan.

One Nation Under God

The saying “one nation under God” is a part of the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America. An early version of the pledge was composed in 1885 by Captain George Thatcher Balch. Balch was an officer in the Union Army during the Civil War who wanted to find ways to teach patriotism to young children in the public schools. A few years later, in 1892, Francis Bellamy, a Baptist pastor from New York, significantly revised and expanded Balch’s original pledge in an effort to promote the 1893 World Fair. This version of the pledge went largely unaltered for decades when Congress officially adopted it in 1942 at the start of World War II.

However, the saying “one nation under God” was not a part of Bellamy’s pledge (the original draft simply stated, “One nation, indivisible”). In fact, Bellamy staunchly believed in the separation of Church and State and intentionally did not include any references to God in the pledge. It wasn’t until 1954 under the direction of President Eisenhower that the words “under God” were added to the pledge. This was mostly due to the growing fear of communism throughout the United States during the Cold War.

The inclusion of the phrase under God was meant to reaffirm America’s heritage as a predominately Judeo-Christian nation in the face of looming global threats (especially ones that were derived from atheistic, materialist worldviews such as communism). Having just come out of World War II, and with the Cold War in full swing, President Eisenhower sought to unify the nation and proclaim trust in God against destructive, godless forces.

In short, the saying “one nation under God” is simply the call of a citizenry to be a unified nation that trusts God to protect them from harmful and evil forces.

Is it wrong to pledge your allegiance to the country in which you are a citizen? No, the Bible does not forbid such an action. In fact, unity among the citizenry of a nation is a good and virtuous thing to pursue, so long as that nation is not directly contradicting the Word of God in its governance.

Ultimately, as Christians, our allegiance is to God alone. His Word is to be the ultimate authority in our lives (Joshua 1:8; 2 Timothy 3:16–17) as we seek to be good citizens of our nations (Matthew 22:21; Romans 13:1–3; Titus 3:1). In fact, the Bible puts a strong emphasis on being unified as God’s people as we live and interact with one another in our daily lives (John 17:11; Romans 15:5–6; Ephesians 4:3). So, in a nation like the United States where the majority of people identify as Christian, being “one nation under God” would be a natural outflow of living according to the biblical commands for unity.

In God We Trust

“Nothing can be more certain than that our country was founded in a spiritual atmosphere and with a firm trust in God” These words were pronounced by Florida Representative Charles Bennett in 1955 on the House Floor as he proposed a bill that would require the words In God We Trust to be inscribed on all U.S. currencies. The bill was eventually signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 11, 1955. While In God We Trust had previously appeared on coins since after the Civil War, Bennett’s legislation codified the inscription on U.S. currency and led to a later act of Congress making the phrase In God We Trust the national motto of the United States of America.

While the exact phrasing of In God We Trust does not appear in the Bible, there are many passages that exhort readers to trust in the Lord. Solomon instructs his readers to “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). Isaiah records a song that includes the encouragement to “trust in the Lord forever, for in God the Lord we have an everlasting Rock” (Isaiah 26:4, NASB). David adds that people should “offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord” (Psalm 4:5, NASB). There are many similar instances in Scripture challenging people to trust in the Lord.

We also discover many instances in the Bible where people exemplified the saying In God We Trust. Jesus trusted His Father (Hebrews 2:13). Daniel trusted in God and was delivered from the lions’ den (Daniel 6:23). Daniel’s three friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, also trusted in God, and He delivered them from the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:28). David wrote that God doesn’t forsake those who have trusted in Him (Psalm 9:10).

On the other hand, there are numerous biblical warnings against trusting in anyone but God. Job explained that trusting in wealth is an iniquity tantamount to denying God (Job 31:24–28). Solomon cautions that the one trusting his own heart is a fool (Proverbs 28:26). Jeremiah records God’s warning against trusting in humanity: the one who trusts in “flesh” is like a bush in the desert, while the one who trusts in the Lord will be like a tree planted by water (Jeremiah 17:5–8).

In saying that people should trust Him, God is not saying that people should not trust each other. In fact, the kind of love He expects us to show “believes all things” and “hopes all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7, ESV). The warning is about trusting in humanity rather than trusting in God. The problem is that the heart is deceitful and sick, and the only one who understands the depths of that depravity is God (Jeremiah 17:9). He is the only One who is worthy of our full trust. If we trust in God—like the people of old who could say, “In God we trust”—we will not be disappointed (Psalm 22:5).

Health Freedom

Guard Your Health Freedom: The federal government will not do this for you, or for your family. Nor will the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, or the Federal Judiciary. In fact, the federal government (via the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the United States military’s biological weapons development and procurement divisions (DARPA and military research labs), and both the House of Representatives and the Senate (funding these activities) are doing all they can to continue the imposition of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene-therapy injections) on the citizens of the United States of America.

Example: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/hhs-awards-moderna-314-million-for, “HHS Awards Moderna $314 Million for Adult and Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccines: SAM.gov”, 28 June 2026. These awards were granted to Moderna through the CDC Office of Acquisition Services. The awards contracts were granted on 3 June 2026. The awards numbers and amounts are:

Pediatric: Award Number 75D30126D21000 for $285,044,250.

Adult: Award Number 75D30126D21003 for $29,183,000.

Example: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/cdc-awards-pfizer-12-billion-for, “CDC Awards Pfizer $1.2 Billion for More COVID Vaccines: SAM.gov”, 11 June 2026. These awards were granted to Pfizer (PfizerUSA / Pfizer-BioNTech) through the CDC Office of Acquisition Services. The awards contracts were granted on 3 June 2026. The awards numbers and amounts are:

Pediatric: Award Number 75D3012621001 for $735,720,598.

Adult: Award Number 75D30126D21004 for $505, 272, 000.

The CDC Office of Acquisition Services is located at 1600 Clifton Rd., Atlanta, GA, 30333. The most current (as of 20 June 2024) organization chart for the CDC’s Office of Financial Resources (of which the Office of Acquisition Services is part) is listed here: https://www.cdc.gov/about/media/pdfs/ofr-org-chart.pdf. There are NO EMPLOYEE NAMES associated with ANY of the offices listed on this chart. None of the awards contracts listed above have any contract details, other than the date of the awards, the company name that is the awardee, and the contract number. These awards are examples of how the current HHS is operating. So much for “oversight” and “transparency” in the current HHS. Who exactly signed the awards documents for HHS? Who signed the acceptance documents at Pfizer (PfizerUSA / Pfizer-BioNTech) and at Moderna? Did HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., know about these awards in advance and signed off on them? Was he told after the fact and then signed off on them? A screenshot of one of the “information pages” for one of these awards is below. My apologies for the length of the screenshot — one has to see this to believe it:

Who is Jariya Taylor, the “Primary Point of Contact” for this award? Apparently, via Internet search, this person is a “Procurement Officer” with the CDC Office of Acquisition Services. Who is Chad Turner, the “Alternative Point of Contact” for this award? Apparently, via Internet search, this person is also a “Procurement Officer” with the CDC Office of Acquisition Services. How long have they worked for the CDC? What are their qualifications to be “Procurement Officers”? Are these employees the exact ones who signed the awards documents for HHS / CDC for the Pfizer (PfizerUSA / Pfizer-BioNTech) and the Moderna awards? Why does the award state, “Inactive” at the top of the document? What happened to the money? Who at Pfizer (PfizerUSA / Pfizer-BioNTech) “solicited” this award? Or, did the CDC, via Jariya Taylor and Chad Turner, reach out to the company to “be aware of an opportunity (award)”? Does the reader see how the game is played between Big Pharma, the CDC — and all using taxpayer monies?

Another point: How do the CDC awards to Moderna for their 2026-2027 modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene-therapy injections) square with THIS story?: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/misc-emerging-topics/moderna-chief-company-won-t-invest-new-late-stage-vaccine-trials, “Moderna chief: Company won’t invest in new late-stage vaccine trials”, Stephanie Soucheray, MA, 26 January 2026. Moderna CEO, Stephane Bancel, made these remarks at the WEF summit in Davos in January. Direct quotation from the article, from Mr. Bancel: “You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.” Direct quotation from the article: “He [Mr. Bancel] said the vaccine market in the United States is much smaller as more anti-vaccine guidelines have become the norm.” If that is so, then WHY did the CDC “create the opportunity” to award Moderna $314 Million to develop and market the company’s 2026 – 2027 modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene-therapy injections)?

Example: HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., wrote and issued a “new” charter for the CDC’s ACIP panel (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) in April 2026. This was after Federal Brian E. Murphy disbanded the former ACIP panel, every recommendation made by this panel from June 2025 to March 2026, and re-instituted the old CDC Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule that has a total of 72 “vaccine” injections to be administered to children age 0 up to age 18. HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., is an attorney. However, it appears that he was not either informed of, or paying attention to, the minutiae of drawing up federal regulations. The result is that the “new” ACIP charter was quietly withdrawn in May 2026 (https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/vaccines/121349, “HHS Withdraws New Rules for CDC Vaccine Panel”, Terrence Rudd, 19 May 2026); and, replaced it with yet another “new” ACIP panel charter (https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-vaccines/new-acip-charter-could-allow-rfk-jr-further-restrict-vaccine-access-critics-say, Liz Szabo, MA, 26 June 2026.)

Meanwhile, the re-instituted old CDC Childhood and Adolescent “vaccination” schedule — the one that “recommends” 72 total “vaccine” injections in children age 0 to age 18 — is here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/child-adolescent-age.html. There is a mealy-mouthed “we’re sorry, but we have to do this because a Federal Judge ordered us to” CDC “excuse” on this webpage, above the immunization schedule hyperlink. And, recalling that it was the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) which sued HHS and won, via the “ruling” of Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy in March 2026 — take a look at the current CDC VFC Vaccine Price List: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines-for-children/pdfs/2026/06/Pediatric-VFC-Vaccine-Price-List-06-16-2026.pdf. Pediatricians who inject children with the “vaccines” on the VFC List will get compensated according to the Price List (via the billing codes they send to the patients’ insurance company, and/or to CMS.) The ruling by Judge Murphy is discussed here: https://www.risehealth.org/insights-articles/federal-judge-stops-hhs-cdc-vaccine-policy-overhaul/, Ilene MacDonald, 17 March 2026. The “Recommended Immunization Schedule” for children and adolescents that was issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (which closely “mirrors” the old CDC immunization schedule) is here: https://downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP-Immunization-Schedule.pdf.

The American Medical Association (AMA) has championed the development and use of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” since early 2021. The AMA is the most powerful medical organization lobby in both houses of Congress. The AMA devotes entire sections of its “guidance” to physicians to “combating misinformation” about these “vaccines” (in other words, fighting the spread of the real truth of the dangers and deadliness of these “vaccines”; training physicians on how to “convince” the “vaccine-hesitant” patient to agreeing to have these “vaccines” injected into them; and so on.) Two examples of AMA publications on these topics: https://www.ama-assn.org/public-health/infectious-diseases/covid-19-vaccines-guide-physicians (scroll down to the “Read now” link and click); and, https://www.ama-assn.org/topics/vaccines-vaccinations-immunizations.

And, more corroboration that Big Pharma and the federal government are intent on poisoning Americans with “vaccines” (especially American children): https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/democide-update-if-all-vaccines-are, “DEMOCIDE UPDATE: If ALL Vaccines are Unsafe and Ineffective, Then Why Are They Being Foisted on Humanity?”, 28 June 2026.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The following is not intended to blame persons who were gaslighted, coerced, or “mandated” into taking the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene-therapy injections.) A multi-level, planned, extremely sophisticated, orchestrated program was implemented by governments and official entities all over the world, to ensure that the maximum number of persons on Earth would be injected with these “vaccines.” Please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/01/31/health-friday-1-31-2025-open-thread-hhs-gaslighting-and-propaganda-to-increase-vaccines-uptake/. However, the evidence is now a Tsunami of information proving that these “vaccines” (gene-therapy injections) are dangerous and deadly. Only one example: the rising incidence of “turbo cancer” among COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons:

🚨 SHOCKING VIDEO BOMBSHELL from Prof. Angus Dalgleish (World-Renowned Oncologist):

“People cleared of Cancer FOR YEARS start relapsing — they ALL had been given the COVID Boosters.” “It’s simple — Boosters repress T-Cells and CANCERS go up with each VACCINE.”

Yours Truly thanks Brave and Free for this link.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If a reader of today’s offering is a COVID-19 “vaccinated” medical professional / licensed healthcare provider: Stop “recommending”, let alone administering, these gene-therapy injections. Stop taking these “vaccines” yourself. Stop your family from taking them. Recognize that all COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons (including “vaccinated” medical professionals / healthcare providers) have had their natural immune system damaged or even destroyed by the ingredients and mechanisms of these “vaccines” (https://www.thefocalpoints.com/, by Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH; search “immune system”; https://jessicar.substack.com/, by Dr. Jessica Rose, PhD; search “class switch.”) Read the post-authorization report from Pfizer-BioNTech that the company gave to the FDA in early 2021 regarding the reports of over 1,200 medical conditions, diseases, and serious negative side effects (including death) in persons who were injected with BNT162b2 (FDA approved under the name COMIRNATY): https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, date-stamped by the FDA on 30 April 2021. Have the courage to put yourself, COVID-19 “vaccinated” family, and COVID-19 “vaccinated” patients, on a protocol to try and mitigate / reduce the damage that the spike protein in these injections have already done to the body. One example of protocols to search: https://www.twc.health; The Wellness Company, Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH. Another example: https://imahealth.org/treatment-protocols/ (the Independent Medical Alliance website.) Other entities also provide COVID-19 spike protein detox items: search “COVID-19 spike protein detox protocol” on the Internet. There are certain foods that can assist in spike protein detoxification: for examples of these foods, and also for natural spike protein detox advice, please see: https://drwillcole.com/spike-protein-detox-functional-medicine/; and, https://www.417integrativemedicine.com/articles/the-role-of-nutrition-and-detoxification-in-spike-protein-removal. Note: Yours Truly is not endorsing any particular COVID-19 spike protein detox / removal protocol; I am merely listing some ideas for interested readers to search for themselves. The point is to find ways to safely detox/or remove the spike protein from the body; or, at the least, to minimize the spike protein’s negative effects.

If a reader of today’s offering who is not a medical professional, or a healthcare provider, but who is COVID-19 “vaccinated”: Stop taking the injections. Do not allow your family to be COVID-19 “vaccinated.” Recognize that the spike protein in these injections already in the body have damaged or destroyed the natural immune system; have damaged the heart muscle / cardiovascular system, and the lungs; have altered the DNA in the LINE1 liver cells; have crossed the Blood-Brain Barrier and damaged both the physical (Central Nervous System) and the psychological (learning, memory, and emotional control) mechanisms of the brain. Please see above for information regarding getting on a spike protein detox protocol. The same applies to COVID-19 “vaccinated” family members. For more information about the damage that these injections have done, please visit the links above; and, also, https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, “Vascular and organ damage induced by mRNA vaccines: irrefutable proof of causality”, Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD; https://www.theqtree.com/author/pavaca/ (search “LINE1”; “Blood-Brain Barrier”; and, “neurological.”)

For those who are not COVID-19 “vaccinated” (and also in those who are “vaccinated”), there is the potential for “shedding” from these “vaccines” from those who are “vaccinated”, onto other persons. Yours Truly has not advocated, nor is advocating, that the non-“vaccinated” live like “anchorites in the desert”: this is simply not possible. However, there is justifiable room for being cautious. It is up to the individual to determine what “being cautious” means. Having a healthy natural immune system is important. Taking care of health issues when they arise is important. Following a healthy diet and exercise program is important. Having Ivermectin and/or Hydroxycholorquine — Vitamin D — Quercetin — Zinc — among other items — on hand, and using them, is important. Please see: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences, 7 June 2024.

Good health is Health Freedom. The ability to decide what constitutes good health, and what to do to support and maintain good health, is Health Freedom. There are times when choosing this freedom comes with a price. The individual gets to decide if that price is worth paying. But how is this freedom affected when health is compromised? What if a person has a condition that negatively affects movement, or the heart, or the lungs, or the eyesight, or the emotional/psychological region — then what? In Yours Truly’s opinion, based on personal experience, the “then what?” becomes finding a balance between doing all one can to ameliorate / support the compromised area(s) — perhaps even finding ways to cure these, if that is a possibility; and strengthening the areas which are not compromised. One believes that a healthy natural immune system is an important key to the whole: along with inner determination, and a positive connection with a Higher Power / Supreme Being.

LungExpand Pro: Review the Unique Lung Clearing Breathing Solution for Healthy Respiratory System

Ingredients:

Umckaloabo Extract

Science Direct — Chapter: Umckaloabo/South African Geranium ()

…The elucidated mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of umckaloabo in bronchitis include immunomodulatory and cytoprotective effects, inhibition of interactions between pathogens and host cells, and an increase of ciliary beat frequency in the respiratory tract. By similar mechanisms umckaloabo appears effective for the common cold.

Clinical research indicates that umckaloabo, alone or in combination formulas, may be beneficial for reactive airways, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, upper respiratory infections, pharyngitis, acute sinusitis, acute bronchitis, and immune function.

Hedera helix

Bioactive phenolics fraction of Hedera helix L. (Common Ivy Leaf) standardized extract ameliorates LPS-induced acute lung injury in the mouse model through the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress

A double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized cross-over study was carried out on 30 children suffering from partial or uncontrolled mild persistent allergic asthma. Patients either received ivy leaves dry extract for four weeks in addition to their inhaled corticosteroid therapy or placebo, followed by a wash-out phase before switching to the other treatment. There was a significant improvement of MEF(75-25), MEF25 and VC after treatment with ivy leaves dry extract (MEF(75-25) change in the mean 0.115 l/s, p=0.044; MEF25 change in the mean 0.086 l/s, p=0.041; VC change in the mean 0.052 l, p=0.044), but not after treatment with placebo.

A review of the ethnobotanical value, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicity and quality control of Tussilago farfara L. (coltsfoot)

Abstract

Ethnopharmacological relevance

Tussilago farfara L. (commonly called coltsfoot), known as a vital folk medicine, have long been used to treat various respiratory disorders and consumed as a vegetable in many parts of the world since ancient times…

Coltsfoot has diverse uses in local and traditional medicine, but similarities have been noticed, specifically for relieving inflammatory conditions, respiratory and infectious diseases in humans. Regarding its pharmacological activities, many traditional uses of coltsfoot are supported by modern in vitro or in vivo pharmacological studies such as anti-inflammatory activities, neuro-protective activity, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant activity. Quantitative analysis (e.g. GC-MS, UHPLC-MRM^HR) indicated the presence of a rich (>150) pool of chemicals, including sesquiterpenes, phenolic acids, flavonoids, chromones, pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and others from its leaves and buds. In addition, adverse events have resulted from a collection of the wrong plant which contains PAs that became the subject of public concern attributed to their highly toxic.

Conclusions

So far, remarkable progress has been witnessed in phytochemistry and pharmacology of coltsfoot. Thus, some traditional uses have been well supported and clarified by modern pharmacological studies. Discovery of therapeutic natural products and novel structures in plants for future clinical and experimental studies are still a growing interest. Furthermore, well-designed studies in vitro particularly in vivo are required to establish links between the traditional uses and bioactivities, as well as ensure safety before clinical use. In addition, the good botanical identification of coltsfoot and content of morphologically close species is a precondition for quality supervision and control. Moreover, strict quality control measures are required in the studies investigating any aspect of the pharmacology and chemistry of coltsfoot….

4.1. Use for infection

Yakammaoto (射干麻黄汤), as a classic formula of traditional Chinese medicines, is used in the treatment of asthma, flu-like symptoms and cough with wheezing in the throat in China and Japan and is a formulation comprising nine various herbs as follows: Ephedra sinica, Pinellia ternate, Zingiber officinale, Tussilago farfara, Aster tataricus, Ziziphus jujube, Belamcanda chinensis, Asarum sieboldii, and Schisandra chinensis….

Globally, the world is scrambling to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Recently, a paper report on lung cleansing and detoxifying decoction (LCDD) widely was used in treating COVID-19 patients in China. LCDD is based on four formulae described in the classic TCMs text treatise on cold pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing (AD 150–219) (Weng, 2020). Further investigated the buds of coltsfoot mechanism in LCDD mechanism against COVID-19 by network pharmacology and molecular docking. The resulted indicated that 14 compounds in coltsfoot may combined with SARS-CoV-2 3CL hydrolase and ACE2, thereby acting on many targets to regulate multiple signaling pathways, thus exerting the therapeutic effect on COVID-19 (Jian-xin et al., 2020)…

6. Pharmacology

There are some biological activities in the extracts or compounds of coltsfoot. Anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antiviral and anti-cancer are similar with traditional uses. In addition, many new biological activities have been discovered in modern research, such as anti-diabetic, neuro-protective activities, immunostimulating activities, anti-oxidant activity and cardiovascular. These biological activities are described in the table (Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7 ) and briefly described in below…

Serratiopeptidase

Serrapeptase is also known as serratiopeptidase. I take it and nattokinase daily and my lung health has improved.

Effect of the proteolytic enzyme serrapeptase in patients with chronic airway disease.

Abstract

Objectives: The proteolytic enzyme serrapeptase (SER) is widely used in clinical practice in Japan. We investigated the effect of SER on sputum properties and symptoms in patients with chronic airway diseases.

Methods: This study was an open-labelled trial with a non-treatment control group. Patients were randomly assigned to oral treatment with (n = 15) and without (n = 14) SER 30 mg/day for 4 weeks. Patients collected sputum samples for about 4 h in the morning on the day the trial began and 4 weeks later. We measured the amount of sputum by weighing. Part of each sputum sample was weighed and then completely dried and reweighed. The percentage solid component, viscosity and elasticity of the sputum were measured. Mucociliary transportability index was measured using ciliated bovine trachea ex vivo. Sputum smears were also prepared to count sputum neutrophils. Patients’ symptoms were assessed by a questionnaire that used a visual analogue scale.

Results: After 4 weeks of SER treatment, sputum weight in the morning, percentage solid component, viscosity and elasticity of sputum, sputum neutrophil count, frequency of coughing and frequency of expectoration significantly decreased. The mean mucociliary transportability index increased from 13.3 +/- 1.8 to 24.4 +/- 2.5 (P = 0.0103).

Conclusions: SER may exert a beneficial effect on mucus clearance by reducing neutrophil numbers and altering the viscoelasticity of sputum in patients with chronic airway diseases.

Serrapeptase: Further Reading | Vitacure

Serrapeptase side effects and potential risks are few. No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking Serrapeptase; however, there are a few potential cautions. A very small number of isolated cases of gastrointestinal irritation mostly in patients with gastrointestinal ulcers have been reported with use. A smaller population described in medical literature, developed pneumonia. Although rare, it was theorized that removing scar tissue from the lungs (as Serrapeptase does) can increase the chance of infection due to airborne pathogens (52), this is mostly in elderly individuals with compromised lung function. For this reason Serrapeptase is not recommended for those people with advanced lung cancers or those that smoke. Discontinue smoking if beginning Serrapeptase, and consult your doctor if you are taking blood thinners as Serrapeptase can also enhance or amplify their effectiveness. In addition, always consult a physician before replacing prescriptions with natural supplements…

Serrapeptase for Mucus Build-up

In addition to being able to digest and break down dead tissues, Serrapeptase also has the ability to reduce the elasticity and thickness of nasal mucus as well as lower the number of neutrophils in mucus samples (24). Also, some studies have shown that patients have found Serrapeptase to be highly beneficial in cutting down the thickness of mucus and reducing recurring coughing compared to many of the common treatment methods (15). Similarly, patients with respiratory issues have also benefited from using Serrapeptase merely because it prevents the increased production of mucus and makes the mucus less thick.

Serrapeptase, unlike most medications, does not completely impede the product of mucus. Instead, it works on the elasticity and thickness of the mucus….

Letter writen by Dr. Hans Nieper featured in April 1997 issue of Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients.

I informed you some years ago that Serrapeptase is apparently active in the cleaning of coronary arteries from occluding layers. The results are so spectacular that even Tom Valentine reported on this progress in the US (DC) press after speaking to several parties here.

Serrapeptase is an enzyme produced by serratia bacteria living in silkworms. With this enzyme the worms melt a hole out of the cocoon. Unlike other enzymes in the field of biology, Serrapeptase dissolves ‘dead’ tissue, but not the silk and apparently also fibrinoid layers in the arteries which chemically could be compared to silk.

A special problem in today’s civilized society is occluding processes in the carotid arteries of the neck. Very often we see patients where surgeons were reluctant to operate or to apply drill or laser technology to such occluded carotids. The reason for this is the potential risk that surgical debris will be pushed into the smaller cerebral vessels.

We have, therefore, started to apply Serrapeptase treatment to cases of severe narrowings of the carotid arteries, mostly in patients showing severe symptoms due to the narrowing, including amaurosis fugax (intermittent blindness). The therapeutic results are excellent, certainly lifesaving. It is, however, mandatory that the therapy be conducted for a very long time. The first reliable results can be expected after 6-8 months. Even up to 18 months after the onset of Serrapeptase therapy, patients have still displayed improvement.

I have also found Serrapeptase to be an extraordinary substance for safely removing fibrous blockages from coronary arteries, particularly the carotid arteries found in the neck, which supply blood to the brain….

Healthline — Serrapeptase: Benefits, Side Effects, and Dosage

Common ones include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension..

Serrapeptase may increase the clearance of mucus and reduce inflammation in the lungs in people with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD).

CRDs are diseases of the airways and other structures of the lungs. Common ones include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension — a type of high blood pressure that affects the vessels in your lungs. While CRDs are incurable, various treatments can help dilate the air passages or increase mucus clearance, improving quality of life. In one 4-week studyTrusted Source, 29 people with chronic bronchitis were randomly assigned to receive 30 mg of serrapeptase or a placebo daily.

Bronchitis is one type of COPD that leads to coughing and difficulty breathing due to the overproduction of mucus. People who were given serrapeptase had less mucus production compared to the placebo group and were better able to clear the mucus from their lungs. A 2021 studyTrusted Source also showed symptom improvement in subjects with pulmonary fibrosis who took serrapeptase. However, further studies are needed to support these findings.

Serratiopeptidase: A systematic review of the existing evidence

Pharmacodynamics
Serratiopeptidase is thought to work in three ways.

Anti-inflammatory: serratiopeptidase reduces swelling by the process of decreasing the amount of fluid in the tissues, thinning the fluid, and by facilitating the drainage of fluid. In addition, its enzyme activity dissolves dead tissue surrounding the injured area so that healing is accelerated.5,6 It may also act by modifying cell-surface adhesion molecules that guide inflammatory cells to their target site of inflammation. These adhesion molecules play an important role in the development of arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.6

Analgesic: it may help alleviate pain by inhibiting the release of pain-inducing amines like bradykinin from inflamed tissues.1

Fibrinolytic/caseinolytic: it may be beneficial in atherosclerotic disease as it acts by breaking down fibrin and other dead or damaged tissue without harming living tissue. This could enable the dissolution of blood clots, and atherosclerotic plaques.22

Effects of Systemic Enzyme Supplements on Symptoms and Quality of Life in Patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis—A Pilot Study

5. Conclusions

The present study suggests that the oral supplements Serracor-NK and Serra Rx improve symptoms, the ability to perform activities of daily living, and mental and physical well-being, thus enhancing overall quality of life in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. While there is no drug to cure IPF, these supplements can help to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life in PF patients. This study was performed as a proof of concept. Further assessment in randomized, placebo-controlled trials with larger populations and for longer durations are warranted.

Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis

…Though doctors in the United States are only recently becoming aware of the benefits of added enzymes, doctors in Europe and Asia have been administering enzymes for decades.

Among the best enzymes for removal of scar tissue are serrapeptase and nattokinase. Chymotypsin and pancreatin are considered to be especially valuable against cancer tumors, especially pancreatic cancer tumors.

An especially powerful enzyme is serrapeptase, which is a proteolytic enzyme derived from a species of bacteria originally found in the intestines of silkworms. The bacteria Serratia mercesans E1 produces Serrapeptase, an enzyme that enables the silkworm to dissolve its silken cocoon and emerge after metamorphosis. Serratia is produced by fermented cultures. Studies have shown that serrapeptase reduces scar tissue, improves tissue healing and significantly reduces inflammation.

Serrapeptase also has the unique ability to digest non-living tissue that is a by-product of the healing response without harming living tissue. Serrapeptase is used to dissolve non-living tissues to include: scar tissue, fibrosis, blood clots, cysts and arterial plaque. It is also used as an anti-inflammatory agent against Sinusitis and for thinning mucous secretion and as an agent against varicose veins and fibrocystic breasts. It is believed that serrapeptase can play a key role in dissolving the outer protective layers of cancer cells and tumors to enable the immune system and other cancer fighters to better attack the cancer…

Vitamin D3 and Peppermint are the other ingredients.

Since none of these can be patented the scientific studies are going to be scarce.
