"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous—whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting."

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."

How this didn’t shake people’s faith in Trump blows my mind. He’s clearly one of the dumbest people alive.

I think he is the smartest of the dumbest because the dumbest voted him in and keep applauding

Extremely cool. And slightly scary. They were able to control the direction the mouse went with basically a remote controller! And apparently control gene expressions?

Does it work on gerbils? Asking for a ~~Gere~~ dear friend.

An ancient reference, but it checks out! 😅

Cells already create light by themselves. Only a unnoticeable little bit but they do.

Years ago, I read a research news item about having looked at gut-cells, after an ultrasound, & finding that they were having an abnormally elevated death-rate.

Anybody who understands that if that holds, if ultrasound stresses cells in an unnatural way which is actually-significant, even only slightly, that having all babies ultrasounded might be a stupid idea?


anybody who knows some of the history of the X-Ray, knows that Marie Curie's corpse is kept in a lead coffin, because it's too radioactive,

& that medical-X-rays NOW are drasticlly lower-energy than what they were in the 1900's ( new machines, anyways ).

I expect the same to be true of ultrasound machines: less energy, for the same view..

The point of this, though, is that the ONLY study I know-of which looked at whether cell-death is increased by ultrasound, discovered that yes, it is, & .. nobody cared??

That's the wrong response.
