LONG NOTES:
Happy New Year. Searching my website for happiness, I found these 49 results related to happiness. One link revealed “In 1996 one of the greatest vitamin C authorities, Gladys Block at UC-Berkeley, told me of an unpublished study that found people with the highest serum vitamin C levels were the happiest.” I recommend scanning more of the links to find steps to a happy new year!

Pg 1251-Chasing an equation for awareness: What is consciousness itself? Why are some states associated with felt experience (the pain of a headache, the sight of a sunset) and others not? Musser’s focus is integrated information theory, or IIT. IIT begins with five allegedly self-evident “axioms” of awareness: consciousness exists, and it is structure, specific, unified, and definite. It then derives “postulates” concerning the causal structure of conscious systems, identifying consciousness with integrated informatio0n – information that cannot be reduced to that in a system’s parts. Finally, IIT offer a mathematical measure of the quantity, phi-an equation for awareness.
First data from Age supplement survey. Please share your data here
Average age = 56.5 (range 30-81); BMI 21.8; life expectation 95.3; supplements 6.6 daily (range 0-100+)
Science 12/22 pg 1333- The solution to increase acceptance of scientific evidence is daunting but doable. The scientific community must figure out how to speak out against anti-science attitudes and beliefs without sounding condescending or furthering populist paranoia. It doesn’t help[ that public confidence in US higher education institutions, where most research is conducted, has plummeted to 38%. “You can have all of your meetings with each other, but still what you do will be under attack.” Please help nutrition investigator reach out by encouraging others to subscribe to this legitimate source of scientific and medical information.

New Yorker 12/18 pg 17-“The paper in which Swanton’s lab presented its findings about air pollution and lung cancer appeared in Nature earlier this year, and it ends on an ominous note: “Our data suggest a mechanistic and causative link between air pollutants and lung cancer, …,and substantiate earlier findings on tumor promotion, providing a public health mandate to restrict particulate emissions in urban areas.” The risk extends to a vast population. “Ninety-nine per cewnt of the world’s population is exposed to levels of air pollution that exceed the safety guidelines published by the World Health Organization,” Hill told me. The number of people exposed to air pollution is so vast that the over-all toll of smog and air pollution may be similar. It kills 7 or 8 million people every year.”
Treatment for asthma. (TY Atid-EDI) Israel’s Teva has bought the rights to complete the development of BD9 – an antibody-based therapy for the treatment of asthma and atopic dermatitis from Israel’s Biolojic Design (see here previously). Biolojic’s AI platform generates antibodies that have predictable functions.
US approves fiber implants for children. (TY OurCrowd) The US FDA has cleared the bio-integrative technology from Israel’s Ossio (see here previously) to be used in orthopedic surgery for children and adolescents needing bone realignments, fusions or fracture fixation.
3D printer helps remove tumors. UK’s University Hospital Birmingham has reduced the time taken to remove tumors by up to three hours thanks to 3D-printed cutting guides produced on a J5 MedJet printer from Israel’s Stratasys. It is transforming the way tumors are removed from head and neck cancer patients.
There is no clinical data shown to back up the claims of Fitspresso. However, the complete ingredient list is not shown on the product page, and the individual amounts are not disclosed, so the formula’s effectiveness cannot be assessed without knowing the individual amounts of each ingredient.
From New York Times: “Expanding access and using more frequent testing to optimize health seems fairly reasonable to me,” Dr. Poganik said via email. But, he added, “any claims of accurate, individual-level determination of biological age should be approached with caution.”
From Kevin Fichenscher: The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. Martin Luther King; X Prize Foundation Offers $101 Million for Aging Interventions; In a new study that was recently released studying the factors driving “burnout” or “overload” at Magnet hospitals deserves the attention of healthcare leaders everywhere. There were several important findings. On the physician side of the equation, “control over their workload” was a very significant factor associated with the level of burnout. In other words, the less control, the higher the degree of burnout. For nurses, the biggest factor related to burnout was the sufficiency of nurse staffing in support of care delivery and the “quality of the work environment.” While the rate of increase has slowed somewhat since the early days of the pandemic when healthcare costs grew by 10.6% (2022) to a more modest 3.2% (2021), the increase for 2022 crept up again by 4.1% to reach the milestone of $4.5 Trillion in health care costs; Medicaid spending increased 9.6% (2022 ) at a similar rate to the two previous years; The Good – The time we have together with friends and family at this time of year is always very special and togetherness we should always treasure…
