June 09, 2022 Edition-----The Russian war on Ukraine is now well over 100 days old. The destruction and deaths are just awful and the world is being seriously re-shaped.

Just pathetic.In the UK the hangover is slowly lifting after the 4 day royal celebration.In OZ we are having an energy crisis which we hope we will find solutions for soon!-----Major Issues.------https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/economics/australias-labor-government-faces-a-whole-new-economic-ball-game/news...

More New Faces at the SENS Research Foundation
There are a good many organizations that advocate for aging research and extended healthy lives. You can find some of them listed in the resources section here at Fight Aging! There is only one organization in the world, however, that (a) is presently meaningfully focused on creating the means of human rejuvenation, (b) has the support of a broad range of researchers and philanthropists, and (c) to which folk like you and I can donate, in the secure knowledge that even small donations will go towards directly speeding the development of specific, planned, plausible therapies to repair and reverse aging. That organization...

The Foundation of You: From Sorrow to Resilience
“We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.” ~ Kenji Miyazawa If the title of this article called to you, know that your stories are not who you are. They do not define the person you are, rather they are vital understandings we must experience in life. When we come here we arrive in a family that has already its own story, so we grew up believing that those are our own too and we keep adding life experiences, like they were blanket layers in which we can wrap up, whenever we feel the world is too hard to handle. Spending your lifetime hiding behind your stories can become a comfort place to be in! Bu...

Kat Bit Her Tongue
Kids jump and fall and run and climb and play – and it’s not unusual for me to get called when one of their tongues happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, caught between chomping teeth. Ouch!

Jodie’s Story: A Little Girl Lost After Illegally Given an Untested 8-in-1 Vaccine
Conclusion Jodie was harmed beyond repair when a doctor decided to allow her to be injected with an untested 8-in-1 vaccine. She survived the shot, but sadly, has lived her life in severe pain because of what was done to her. She will live the rest of her life suffering brain damage, bowel problems, seizures, not being able to communicate easily, not being able to eat properly nor take care of herself. Many parents whose children greatly suffer and need constant care worry about their injured child’s future and what is best for them. Although the family is thankful and blessed that Jodie survived, they have deep concerns...

Is it True that 40% of Americans Can ' t Handle a $400 Emergency Expense?
GovernorJohn Hickenlooper, writing inThe Wall Street Journal, repeats a misleading interpretation of one answer to a Federal Reserve poll question that is frequently used to suggest many Americans are in dire financial straits: “Forty percent of Americans in 2017 didn’t have enough savings to cover a $400 medical emergency or car repair, according to the Federal Reserve.”But that is not the question that was asked, and it certainly is not the answer.The question was about how people wouldchoose to pay a $400 “emergency expense” — not whether or not they could pay it out of savings (or checking) if they wanted t...

Chemicals and Pregnant Women: Taking Care of Your Unborn Baby
This study is not a warning of a scary new epidemic of problems arriving with next year’s babies. Instead, it’s a peak behind the curtain at what might be the hidden story behind the marvelous kids we already see on today’s playgrounds across the country. Most are very healthy – among the healthiest kids in history. Yes, too many are overweight. Too many have asthma. Too many have allergies. Too many have learning problems. Too many start puberty early. More than half have some chronic illness. But this isn’t slowing kids down as much as the devastating infectious diseases of the past. It is a vib...

COVID: Supplements, the Immune System, and Preventative Care
In the midst of a viral pandemic, with orders to “shelter at home” in effect, parents may be wondering what else can be done to protect the health of their families. Unprecedented circumstances often lead to feelings of a loss of control, which can sometimes generate a sense of fear, and even sadness. Minimizing unnecessary travel and condensing trips to the grocery store or pharmacy is a vital part of slowing the spread of illness, however, there are also ways to take care of yourself and your children that can improve the function of the innate immune system, lessen stress, and increase the chances of staying safe an...

 It Just Won’t Go Away: Reasons For a Lingering Cough
We’re used to coughing when we have a cold, but what about those coughs that seem to linger even after all other symptoms have disappeared? It turns out that what may seem like a nuisance can actually be the body’s innate intelligence at work. At the first sign of foreign invaders, coughing acts as a primary line of defense, expelling whatever virus or bacteria is trying to make its way into the system. During this time it’s especially helpful when coughing to cover your mouth, with your inner elbow if possible, to prevent the spread of illness. However, there may be other reasons for a cough that hangs on after a co...
