Key Lessons About Black Eye Floaters in Humans “Black floaters” usually means dark spots, dots, threads, rings, strands, or cobweb-like objects that seem to move through the visual field. They are extremely common, particularly with aging, but new or suddenly increased floaters can indicate a retinal emergency. Floaters Are Usually Shadows, Not Objects on the Retina. Most arise from structures […]

Binders with Research

“Binders” we define as oral substances that remain largely in the gastrointestinal tract and adsorb, sequester, or ion-exchange specific compounds.

Top 25 environmental exposures associated with autoimmunity Rank Exposure Autoimmune associations Evidence 1 Crystalline silica SSc, RA, SLE, ANCA vasculitis ★★★★★ 2 Cigarette smoke RA, SLE, MS, Graves disease ★★★★★ 3 Trichloroethylene (TCE) Systemic sclerosis, SLE/autoimmune responses ★★★★½ 4 Organic solvents SSc, SLE, MS, systemic autoimmune disease ★★★★ 5 Mercury/methylmercury ANA/autoantibodies; autoimmune dysregulation ★★★★ 6 PM2.5/air pollution RA, CTD, IBD,

I have coauthored three books on mold. I appreciate the coauthors, Ritchie Shoemaker and Gary Rosen, for teaching me very useful information over 20 years ago. I am not “getting into mold.” I was helping and researching this intensely over 20 years ago. I am glad some are learning in recent years. The Removal of Mycotoxins Requires Immensely Specific Binders.

Sample Detox Tools 40 Binders / adsorbents / toxin-removal approaches # Binder / treatment What it can bind or remove Human evidence My assessment 1 Activated charcoal Many drugs and organic toxins in the GI tract 🟢 Best-established acute GI adsorbent 2 AST-120 (spherical carbon adsorbent) Indole → indoxyl sulfate and other protein-bound uremic toxins 🟢 Strongest specialized enterosorbent evidence

TB006 is an investigational monoclonal antibody from TrueBinding that targets galectin-3, aiming to reduce amyloid aggregation and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. Early Phase 2a data show trends toward slowed clinical decline and some cognitive improvement, and it is currently accessible mainly through the FDA Expanded Access Program. This is the first allopathic treatment ever to improve Alzheimer’s. What TB006 Is

I would not be so sure. Infectious agents found in or transmitted through tick saliva: Detected somewhere in a tick is not equivalent to demonstrated in tick saliva. Yet it seems that for most biologically transmitted tick-borne pathogens, the salivary glands and saliva are central to transmission. Below are agents for which there is evidence of salivary gland involvement, saliva-assisted

Natural Anti-Inflammatory Agents Ranked By Pathway I would not rank these simply from “strongest” to “weakest,” because different compounds affect different inflammatory pathways. A more scientifically useful ranking is by dominant pathway: NF-κB, NLRP3 inflammasome, TNF-α/IL-6, COX/LOX, Nrf2, AMPK/SIRT1, specialized pro-resolving mediators, gut-immune signaling, mast cells, and neuroinflammation. Evidence grading: A = substantial human RCT/meta-analysis evidence; B = some human

A research-based master list of anti-inflammatory interventions, it helps to separate natural compounds, lifestyle/physiologic interventions, and medical/pharmacologic treatments. “Best” depends strongly on the disease and inflammatory pathway; suppressing inflammation broadly is not always beneficial. High-Value Anti-Inflammatory Options Category Intervention Major anti-inflammatory activity / target Evidence strength Natural Curcumin/curcuminoids ↓ NF-κB, COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6; NLRP3 modulation Human RCTs/meta-analyses Natural Omega-3

Arctigenin (AG) is a dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan found particularly in the fruit/seeds of Arctium lappa L. (burdock). It is the aglycone of arctiin. Mammalian research reports anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, metabolic, anticancer, vascular, antiviral, and immunomodulatory actions. However, an important distinction is necessary: most therapeutic evidence is preclinical. Human interventional evidence is limited, with the most notable study involving an arctigenin-rich Arctium lappa
