Surely no one saw this coming 😂 Just bc 1 CT scan is the equivalent of 100 xrays (on the LOW side.) Its always supposed to be a warranted risk, not a way to get a higher payout from a medical claim.

CAC Coronary Artery Calcium Scan: New Heart Disease Test Causes Cancer. Major Organizations Warn Public Against It... 42 Of Every 100K Patients Develop Cancer From Ionizing Radiation. Radiation Dosage Varies 10X From One Hospital To Another, Causing 5,600 New Cases Of Cancer. The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology & the United States Preventive Services Task Force do not recommend the use of heart CT scans for patients with a low or high risk of heart disease because CT scans could be more harmful than beneficial due to the relatively high dose of radiation. "Tens of millions of adults would be exposed to relatively high levels of radiation through this procedure. Doctors still have not established a standard dose of radiation to be used for heart CT scans & doses for this test vary from one hospital to another, with some patients getting 10X the amount of radiation as patients in another hospital." A 2009 study showed that one heart CT scan for the 50 million Americans who would receive the average radiation dose, these scans would result in 5,600 new cancer cases. The number of new cancer cases would be even higher if individuals were screened more than once in their lifetime. Radiation from CT scans is even of concern to the FDA even when the CT scans are necessary. On October 9, 2009, the FDA announced that it was notifying healthcare professionals that 206 patients who were being tested for stroke received CT radiation doses that were 8X the expected level at one particular medical facility. While this event involved a single kind of diagnostic test at one facility, the FDA warned that “it reflects more widespread problems with CT quality assurance programs.” Each year, over 600,000 Americans die from heart disease even though heart disease can be prevented. Although heart CT scanning may be a useful tool in detecting blockages in heart arteries, there is not enough evidence to show that this test is worth the risks, especially compared to traditional risk factor assessment. For this reason, the Cancer Prevention & Treatment Fund of the National Research Center for Women & Families agrees with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that heart CT scans are not recommended for screening for heart disease. 👇CAC Screening Radiation 10X Cancer Risk👇 👇Ionizing Radiation Risk From CAC Test👇 👇Cancer Risk From CT Scan Radiation👇 Video: Dr David Alfrey

For over 20 years, Nancy Du, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and the Rasweiler Family Research Scholar in Cancer Research at Weill Cornell Medicine, has researched how metastatic cancer arises. With a $500,000 grant over three years from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs at the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), she was poised to study how to prevent cancer from spreading to the bones of patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. But in April, a stop-work order brought her research to a halt. More at

This Zimbabwean member of parliament whose parliamentary submission has gone viral is making a valid point based on peer-reviewed research. She is essentially saying that men who have regular sex are also reducing their risk of prostate cancer. Medical studies suggest a link between frequent ejaculation and a reduced risk of prostate cancer. However, the exact number of times a man should ejaculate per month to maintain optimal prostate health has not been definitively established. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that men who reported ejaculating at least 21 times a month had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. The study, which followed over 31,000 men for several years, suggested a correlation between frequent ejaculation and a lower risk of prostate cancer. A study conducted by Australian researchers and published in the journal British Journal of Urology (BJU) in 2003 found that men who ejaculated more than five times per week in their 20s had a reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. A 2008 study in the British Journal of Urology International examined over 30,000 men and found that those who reported higher ejaculation frequency showed a lower risk of prostate cancer. A 2016 study published in the journal European Urology investigated the association between ejaculation frequency and the risk of prostate cancer. The study found that men with a higher ejaculation frequency had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, particularly in their 40s. Men over 40 should have regular medical check-ups and discuss any concerns about their prostate health with healthcare providers such as nurses and doctors. While this data is available for us to engage with, we cannot return to the old tradition she mentions in her presentation of passing on young women from the wife’s family to older men. The JAMA study's findings do not justify the revival of the outdated and exploitative traditional practice of passing young women from the wife's family to older men. Read more here; More👇🏿

Researchers find that consuming preservatives used in foods in America increases risk of cancer “A new study warning of a potential link between common food preservatives used to extend the shelf life of deli meats and some cereals and cancer. Researchers found consuming the preservatives used in foods like deli meats, bacon, breakfast cereal is associated with a higher risk of developing cancer. They say the study shows an association with developing cancer, but not proof that preservatives directly cause cancer.”

One of the world’s most experienced brain-imaging psychiatrists dropped a bombshell on Tucker Carlson’s show. Dr. Daniel Amen (80,000+ brain scans in his career) revealed the results of his published study on 1,000 regular cannabis users vs healthy controls: → Every single region of the brain showed significantly lower blood flow and activity on SPECT imaging → The same scans also measure mitochondrial function (the energy factories inside your cells) — and those were dramatically lower too → A brand-new 2024 study from an completely independent research group on another 1,000 young cannabis users found the exact same pattern, especially in the brain areas responsible for learning and memory This isn’t opinion. These are measurable, published findings from two separate teams using advanced brain imaging. Whether you use cannabis or not, the science is worth knowing. Watch the 1:55 clip below — Dr. Amen explains it clearly and calmly.

A groundbreaking new study published in Cancer Discovery reveals that certain cancers may be detectable in the blood up to three years earlier than current diagnostic methods allow. This could revolutionize early detection—and survival rates. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a pioneer in cancer research, breaks down the findings: "This study is a game-changer. By analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)—genetic material shed by cancer into the bloodstream—researchers identified cancer mutations years before standard diagnosis. This isn’t just about early detection; it’s about monitoring recurrence post-treatment to catch metastasis before it spreads." Why This Matters: 🔹 Early Detection Saves Lives – The sooner cancer is found, the better the odds of successful treatment. 🔹 Peripheral Blood Holds the Key – The study highlights that simple blood tests (like cell-free DNA analysis) may outperform invasive biopsies and imaging for early signals. 🔹 Beyond Diagnosis – These tests could track survivors (like the patient mentioned) to ensure cancer doesn’t return silently. The Future? Imagine a world where routine blood work screens for cancer years before symptoms appear—turning a deadly disease into a manageable condition. This study brings us one step closer. "The answers aren’t just in high-tech scans—they’re in the peripheral blood we’ve overlooked for decades," says Dr. Soon-Shiong. "The era of precision prevention is here." Stay tuned. The fight against cancer just got smarter.

Jimmy Dore: Groundbreaking South Korean Study Reveals Alarming Link Between COVID Vaccines and Cancer A massive new study from South Korea, utilizing the national health insurance database of over 8.4 million people, has uncovered a deeply disturbing trend. The research, which tracked patients from 2021-2023, found a statistically significant increase in cancer risk among the vaccinated population. The data paints a devastating picture: - 27% higher risk of overall cancer. - 53% higher risk of lung cancer. - 69% higher risk of prostate cancer. - 34% higher risk of gastric cancer. - 28% higher risk of colorectal cancer. - 35% higher risk of thyroid cancer. - 20% higher risk of breast cancer. As commentator Jimmy Dore highlighted, the probability this result occurred by chance is less than one in a thousand. He points out the critical context the mainstream media refuses to cover: Why was this crucial, large-scale analysis only conducted in South Korea? Why have other nations with similar databases not released such findings? This same research group has previously published data showing vaccines linked to a 68% increase in depression and a 93% increase in sleep disorders. This is the information being systematically suppressed. The very platforms that censored open debate about vaccine efficacy, early treatment, and origins of the virus are now ignoring peer-reviewed science that contradicts the official narrative. The public is demanding answers. Why the silence?

Screen-grabs from the Inkarri Institute & Jungle Docs Production's CT scans & accompanying video. I suspect several of the eggs contain fetuses or pig dragons, the inspiration for the Chinese artifact of the same name that depicts the fetuses of the beings. Note: The blurry video footage of the face is from an egg that appears to be in a state of hatching, while the digital skull is from the scans that are available to the public. The purported fetuses reside in separate eggs. The #ConstantCompanionTheory: We were never alone. Jaime Maussan Jois Mantilla

Face-to-face interactions stimulate your newborn’s brain in ways that pave the way for language learning. This according to fascinating new research from Dr. Patricia Kuhl and colleagues at the I-LABS. We’ve long known that serve and return stimulates the infant brain and supports parent/child bonding. But now, through use of magnetoencephalography (a fancy brain scan), Kuhl and colleagues have determined that these early interactions play a role in stimulating specific attention centers in the brain critical to language learning during a sensitive window from 6-12 months. In the study, children with the highest levels of stimulation in these attention centers at 5 months demonstrated superior language learning at five future points, measured up to two years after the initial scans. Fascinating stuff! If you’d like to learn more, check out the great summary by Kristina Compton of Early Learning Nation linked in the first reply below. And if you really want to nerd out, you can read the full study linked in the second reply. This great video example was shared to IG by babies.wonderful.
