TOGETHER FOREVER: CONJOINED TWINS DON'T WANT TO BE SEPARATED

-
(TheSun.co.uk) - CONJOINED twins Pin and Pan’s bond is so strong that they don’t want to be separated – even if it proved medically possible.

The seven-year-old sisters, from Thailand, were born with their own heads, torsos, and arms but are connected at the waist.

The duo share a pair of legs, with Pin having control of one and Pan controlling the other, and have learned to walk, dress, eat – and, incredibly, even ride a tricycle – as one.

The twins live in Nakhon Sawan, around 250km north of Bangkok, Thailand, with their grandparents – who describe them as “normal, happy” children.

Their grandma, Noknoi Pongchumnan, said: “They love singing, eating ice cream, helping each other with dressing up and giggling together.”

Conjoined twins are very rare, occurring around once in every 2.5 million births – but Pin and Pan have mastered the art of walking around crab-like on their hands and feet and can even climb two flights of stairs without help.

For longer distances, they ride a pink tricycle, and at school, a teacher pushes them from building to building in a wheelchair.

The twins attend Nakhonsawanpunyanukul Special School for disadvantaged children, where they are popular with both students and staff.

Prateep Suthat, the twins’ teacher, said: “The other pupils thought Pin and Pan were different at first.

“In the classroom, they were asking, “Why do two people have one body”? They wanted to get a closer look.

“But after they spent time together, they realised Pin and Pan are the same as any other children, and now they all play together.”

The twins’ teachers and grandparents hope that their education will give them the skills to live an independent life in the future.

You can look like a Vampire: Skin Whitening horror stories from the streets of Bangkok

Lured by the promise of pearl-white complexions in ads on social media, young women in Thailand fall for cheap creams said to have herbal ingredients but full of toxic mercury, which cause acne, blotches and spidery red veins. (South China Morning Post) - Achara Chairak wanted to look prettier and that, she believed, included having light skin. The lighter the better. The Bangkok office worker tried some brand-name whitening creams sold at pharmacy chains, but they didn’t make much difference to her skin tone. So last year she decided to try one of the creams sold online that promised more dramatic results. The facial cream, the ads claimed, contained traditional herbal ingredients and would produce lasting changes in lightening skin tone. “Before and after” pictures showed women with dark complexions metamorphose into beauties with fair skin. “At first my skin got visibly whiter and brighter,” says Achara, who is in her late twenties. “I was very happy.” She began buying more of...

How Magnesium Can Protect You From Liver Damage

-
Magnesium, an essential mineral involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions, 1   may also play an important role in liver health. Due to the way it interacts with your gut microbiome, magnesium may offer protection from liver damage caused by one of the most common liver toxins — acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol. 2 Acetaminophen overdose is one of the leading causes of liver injury in the U.S. and some parts of Europe. In these areas, acetaminophen is responsible for more than 50% of acute liver failure cases. 3 Treatment for acetaminophen-induced liver failure is limited, with liver transplant the only option in severe cases, making liver injury caused by acetaminophen an emerging “public health issue.” 4  Magnesium, however, has the potential to help, according to research published in Cell Host & Microbe. Magnesium Alleviates Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Failure When excess amounts of acetaminophen are metabolized, it depletes glutathione and increases N-acetyl-p-b...

Ivermectin and Fenbendazole in the Treatment of Psoriasis? A Case Series of 13 Patients (2026)

-
Image
Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition affecting approximately 7.5 million individuals in the United States, with significant economic, physical, and psychological burdens. This case series reports on 13 patients who experienced notable improvements in psoriasis symptoms following treatment with ivermectin and/or fenbendazole, antiparasitic agents repurposed for this indication. Cases were derived from self-reported testimonials shared on social media platforms. Treatment durations ranged from 3 days to 3 months, with dosages varying between 6 mg ivermectin twice daily and combinations with fenbendazole. Rapid resolution of skin lesions was observed in most cases, with some achieving near-complete clearance. While these anecdotal reports suggest potential therapeutic efficacy, controlled clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings and elucidate underlying mechanisms. Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by hyperproliferation...

Where to Buy N95 Mask Online in USA 2021

-
Image
A  study that evaluated how well masks protect the wearer  from breathing in small particles found that a   NIOSH approved N95 (3M 9210) Masks   had a filtration efficiency of 98%. As wearing a mask may reduce the amount of virus to which a wearer is exposed, it has been postulated that even if a mask-wearing person becomes infected, the reduced viral load to which they were exposed may mean that they suffer a milder disease.  In general, the use of face masks could result in an 85% reduction in risk of infection versus without the use of face masks, with stronger associations for N-95 respirators. Surgical masks and multi-layered cotton masks were less effective but still offered more protection than single-layer masks ( Chu, Lancet 2020). Therefore, if you are looking for N95 masks in U.S., you've come to the right place.  Where to buy N95 masks in USA? Many N95 masks in USA are available online and offline at your local health stores and pharmacies....

N95 Masks vs KN95 Masks: What's the Difference?

-
Image
Face mask use could result in an 85% reduction in risk of infection versus no face mask, with stronger associations for N-95 or similar respirators, while surgical masks and multi-layered cotton masks were less effective but offered more protection than single-layer masks ( Chu, Lancet 2020). As wearing a mask may reduce the amount of virus to which a wearer is exposed, it has been postulated that even if a mask-wearing person becomes infected, the reduced viral load to which they were exposed may mean that they suffer a milder disease.  A  study that evaluated how well masks protect the wearer  from breathing in small particles (ranging in size from 0.02 to 0.6 microns) and factored in the fit of the mask as well as its filtration efficiency. They found that a   NIOSH approved N95 (3M 9210) Masks   had a filtration efficiency of 98%. Comparison of KN95 and N95 Masks N95 and KN95 masks (or, more technically, respirators) are both designed to protect you and the ...

Image
A meta-analysis of 3 studies (C19early 2025) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may significantly lower risk with  viral clearance . One study shows significant benefit. Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 83% [6‑97%] lower risk . Results are consistent with early treatment being more effective than late treatment. A study, published in Nature ( Takeda 2022 ) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection even at lower concentrations. Another team of international scientists has also demonstrated the usefulness of cetylpyridinium chloride-containing mouthwashes in inhibiting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and reducing the risk of viral transmission. The study is published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology (2022). A scientific review, published in the  Journal of Formosan Medical Association  (2022) also concluded that mouthwash containing CPC shows potential fo...

A Surprising Reason Why You May Need More Carbs in Your Diet

-
In this interview (below), Georgi Dinkov and I continue our discussion about diet , diving into some of the finer details that can make or break your health. Dinkov is a student of Ray Peat, who passed away around Thanksgiving 2022, leaving behind a legacy of iconoclastic wisdom on how to optimize biological health. For example, a ketogenic diet can be very useful initially when transitioning people who are metabolically inflexible, which is about 95% of the population of the United States. So, in the short term, the vast majority of people can benefit from going keto. However, if you continue in ketosis long term, you're going to run into problems.   Elevated Cortisol Leads to Central Obesity As just one example, while weight loss is a typical response when going on a ketogenic diet, months later, maintaining that weight loss often becomes a struggle again. Dinkov experienced this firsthand. Once he started following Ray Peat's recommendations, he lost the weight again and ke...

Hydroxychloroquine and Cytokine Storm: Zelenko Protocol

-
Image
Dr. Leonard Calabrese from the Cleveland Clinic discussed an inflammation syndrome in patients with advancing COVID-19. Also referred to as a cytokine storm, the syndrome primarily targets the lungs, leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which shares some clinical and pathologic symptoms with idiopathic ARDS. With multiple potential anti-viral mechanisms of action and immunomodulatory effects through attenuation of cytokine production, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is potential treatment for COVID-19.  The Zelenko protocol is a multi-drug treatment consisting of hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin (antibiotic) for COVID-19. A  retrospective study  analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporat...

How Oxalates Can Wreck Your Health

-
In this interview (below), Sally Norton, author of “ Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick — and How to Get Better ,” reviews how and why even foods we’ve been told are healthy can wreak havoc on your health. As the title of the book implies, the main culprit in question is oxalate or oxalic acid, found in many plants, beans, grains, seeds and nuts, fruits, berries and herbs.  ( R ) So, just what are oxalates, why are they so bad, and how are they hidden in these superfoods that so many people are consuming? In short, it’s a naturally-occurring toxic, corrosive acid. In that state, it’s called oxalic acid. When the oxalic acid has minerals attached to it, it’s called oxalate. Chemically, it’s a salt, and like other salts, it forms crystals that your body innately has a limited capacity to process. Calcium oxalate, for example, which is oxalic acid with calcium attached, forms into painful kidney stones. And, unlike some other food-related toxins, ...

Charles Brenner Challenges David Sinclair’s Best-Selling Book on Aging

-
Image
Key Points: Taking suggestions from other scientists, Dr. Brenner refutes premises contained within the book  Lifepan , authored by Dr. Sinclair. Both scientists are associated with companies that sell NAD+ precursors as supplements. Overall, Brenner argues that Sinclair has overhyped many of the recent scientific findings in the field of aging biology. In a letter to the editor published in  Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics ,  Charles Brenner , a chairman at the City of Hope National Medical Center who helped popularize nicotinamide riboside as a NAD+ precursor, reviews David Sinclair’s book  Lifespan .  “Lifespan … represents a pivot in which a person central to the failure of the largest longevity medicine program in pharmaceutical history turns to the general public to retell his story,” says Brenner in the letter. Sinclair  is a professor at Harvard Medical School and the co-director of its Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research, wher...
