Why You're Still Sick:
How Spike Protein Persistence Could Explain Chronic Illness
Sponsored by
A Message from Dr. McMillan
The persistence of spike protein, even in people without symptoms, signals a major health challenge we cannot afford to ignore.
Unawareness of this silent risk may be contributing to the ongoing levels of illness and excess mortality we see across populations.
Now that you know, stay connected. The right information, at the right time, can be life-saving.

FEATURE ARTICLE
COVID-19
Spike protein creates "zombie cells" that persist in tissues, evading normal cellular clearance mechanisms.
Standard tests miss up to 50% of cases without "provocation" to force hidden protein release.
Spike protein infiltrates immune cells, brain tissue, and blood vessels causing widespread inflammatory dysfunction.
97% of spike-positive patients show Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, indicating severe immune compromise.
Why this is important: Millions experiencing unexplained chronic symptoms may harbor persistent spike protein that standard tests cannot detect. This cellular contamination creates widespread dysfunction while hiding behind normal lab results, suggesting that targeted clearance rather than symptom management could offer recovery for post-pandemic illness sufferers.

HEALTH
Centenarians are the fastest-growing demographic group, with numbers roughly doubling every ten years since 1970s.
Study analyzed 44,000 Swedes aged 64-99, following them for 35 years to compare biomarker profiles.
Centenarians had lower glucose, creatinine, and uric acid levels from their sixties onwards than peers.
Most biomarkers showed connection to reaching 100, suggesting links between metabolic health and longevity.
Why this is important: Understanding biomarker patterns in future centenarians offers valuable insights for aging research and preventive healthcare. These findings suggest that monitoring metabolic health markers like glucose and kidney function throughout middle age could help identify individuals with greater longevity potential and inform targeted interventions for healthier aging.

MEDICAL NEWS IN BRIEF
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
🚥 Plastic Pollution Is an Underrecognized Threat to Health: Human exposure to plastic chemicals throughout production, use, and disposal creates cascading health risks that demand urgent policy attention. With plastic production set to triple by 2060, establishing comprehensive health monitoring systems becomes critical for protecting vulnerable populations and informing evidence-based regulations in upcoming international treaties.

🚥 How Much Protein Do You Really Need? Too Much or Too Little Can Be Harmful: Navigating protein intake requires precision rather than passion, consuming 0.8g per kilogram body weight meets basic needs, while athletes may need double that amount. Exceeding requirements strains kidneys, causes dehydration, and converts excess into fat. Wholefood sources trump supplements, and balance with carbohydrates and fats remains crucial for optimal health outcomes.
🚥 Vagus Nerve Stimulation Paired with Meditation Increases Self-Compassion and Mindfulness Benefits: Unlocking deeper self-compassion through targeted nerve stimulation reveals exciting therapeutic potential. When vagus nerve activation through ear stimulation combines with meditation training, participants demonstrate enhanced mindfulness and self-kindness compared to meditation alone. This neurological enhancement could revolutionize mental health interventions by accelerating traditionally slow meditation benefits. [SOURCE]
🚥 Why You Can’t Judge Health by Weight Alone: Overemphasis on weight obscures crucial health indicators like diet quality, exercise habits, sleep patterns, and stress levels. Someone eating nutrient-rich foods while exercising regularly may be deemed "unhealthy" due to higher weight, while a sedentary person with poor nutrition but lower weight appears "healthy," highlighting weight's inadequacy as a standalone health measure.
🚥Study Finds Vitamin B3 and Green Tea Compound Help Aging Brain Cells Clean Up: Brain cells suffering from age-related energy depletion regain their cleanup capabilities when supplemented with vitamin B3 and green tea compounds, potentially offering an accessible approach to combat Alzheimer's protein accumulation. Restoring cellular energy enables neurons to clear toxic debris, suggesting dietary supplements might protect cognitive function without pharmaceutical intervention. [SOURCE]
🚥 Young Adults' Brain Activity Shows TV and Gaming Boost Focus, While Social Media Hinders It: Brain oxygen patterns reveal social media uniquely fragments attention while gaming enhances cognitive engagement in young adults. These neurological distinctions challenge one-size-fits-all screen time policies, suggesting targeted approaches rather than blanket restrictions may better support mental wellbeing and cognitive development.
