Vaccine Injunction
We are calling for an injunction to pause to the vaccine rollout to due to multiple questions we have
1 - Why are so many people suffering adverse events and death after COVID-19 vaccinations?
2 - Why are so many of our fittest sportspeople collapsing and suffering myocarditis, heart attacks and death post-vaccination?
3 - Why have the vaccine manufacturers withheld ingredients? Undisclosed ingredients are illegal and involve the deception of the public
4 - Why have independent scientific reports of Graphene Oxide and other contaminants not been publically investigated?
5 - Why are the batches of the vaccine clearly different? As per VAERS data, 100% of all adverse reactions can be attributed to 5% of the batches. This clearly indicates suspect manufacturing
Would you like to help in the push to pause the rollout?
If so, chose from one of these two petitions

- FLORIDA DEPT OF HEALTH WARNS ABOUT C19 BOOSTERS
The motto of NOTB has always been, in the face of such an immense adversary, 'the seemingly impossible is possible'. This is enough to bring tears to my eyes. I can't decide whether to move to Florida or send State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo an honary bravery/common sense award from the people of the world, or just start sculpting a statue. Scroll down to see the smile of my new favourite American. Yes, for those of us deeply in the research and understanding of what has really been going on, his guidance steps around some vitals...yet the below statement is vital information and a provides a vital stepping stone for the average mum and dad who are so involved in keeping their family afloat in this economic crash, that they don't have time or the bandwidth to do the needed self-educational deep dive. Updated Guidance for COVID-19 Boosters for the Fall and Winter 2024–2025 Season September 12, 2024 SOURCE Tallahassee, Fla. – The Florida Department of Health (Department) is reminding health care providers of the importance of remaining up to date with current literature related to COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, and the importance of providing patients with informed consent. On August 22, 2024 , the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and authorized updated versions of mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNtech and Moderna. The FDA approved the vaccine for people 12 and older and provided emergency use authorization for children 6 months to 11 years old. The stated target of these boosters is the Omicron variant which is not causing a significant number of infections . The most recent booster approval was granted in the absence of booster-specific clinical trial data performed in humans. Furthermore, this booster does not protect against the currently dominant strain , accounting for approximately 37% of infections in the United States. There are currently limited data to inform whether these boosters offer any substantial protection against the virus and subsequent circulating variants . Although randomized clinical trials are normally used to approve therapeutics, the federal government has not required COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers to demonstrate their boosters prevent hospitalizations or death from COVID-19 illness. Additionally, the federal government has failed to provide sufficient data to support the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 boosters, or acknowledge previously demonstrated safety concerns associated with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, including: prolonged circulation of mRNA and spike protein in some vaccine recipients, increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections, and increased risk of autoimmune disease after vaccination. Health care providers are encouraged to share information in this guidance in discussions with patients regarding the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. Based on the high rate of global immunity and currently available data, the State Surgeon General advises against the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Any provider concerned about the health risks associated with COVID-19 for patients over the age of 65 or with underlying health conditions should prioritize patient access to non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment. Safety and Efficacy Concerns Providers and patients should be aware of outstanding mRNA COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy concerns: The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines present a risk of subclinical and clinical myocarditis and other cardiovascular conditions among otherwise healthy individuals. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may be associated with an increased risk of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may be associated with an increased risk of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Throughout the pandemic, studies across geographic regions found that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are associated with negative effectiveness after four to six months. As efficacy waned, studies showed that COVID-19 vaccinated individuals developed an increased risk for infection. Elevated levels of mRNA and spike protein from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine persist among some individuals for an indefinite period, which may carry health risks . Potential DNA integration from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines pose unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. There is unknown risk of potential adverse impacts with each additional dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine; currently individuals may have received five to seven doses (and counting) of this vaccine over a 3-year period. Improving habits and overall health help manage and reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, risk factors for serious illness from COVID-19. The State Surgeon General and the Department continue to encourage Floridians to prioritize their overall health by: Staying physically active, Minimizing processed foods, Prioritizing vegetables and healthy fats, and Spending time outdoors to support necessary vitamin D levels. O n September 13, 2023, State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo provided guidance against COVID-19 boosters for individuals under 65 and younger. In addition to aforementioned concerns, providers and patients should be aware of outstanding safety and efficacy concerns outlined in the State Surgeon General’s previous booster guidance released in September 2023. SOURCE UPDATE HEALTH CANADA. Higher mortality in those who have taken boosters https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/post/health-canada-confirms-higher-mortality-in-vaccinated State Surgeon General Ladapo Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo is the current State Surgeon General of Florida, appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2021 . Born on December 16, 1978, in Nigeria, he immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of five. He earned his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Florida. Professional Career Dr. Ladapo is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Florida College of Medicine and serves as the State Surgeon General of Florida . His research focuses on behavioral economic strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk in low-income and disadvantaged populations. Clinically, he has cared primarily for hospitalized patients. Controversies and Public Statements Dr. Ladapo has been involved in several controversies regarding COVID-19 vaccination and public health guidance. Notably: In 2022, he recommended against vaccinating healthy children against COVID-19, making Florida the first state to do so. He has been warned by the CDC for promoting COVID-19 misinformation, vaccine hesitancy, and opposing various measures to control COVID-19. In 2022, he issued new guidance recommending against mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for males aged 18-39 and advising caution for those with preexisting cardiac conditions. In 2023, he announced that Florida would be the first state to recommend against COVID-19 boosters for individuals under age 65. Personal Life According to his Wikipedia page, Dr. Ladapo’s family moved to the United States when he was five years old. He declined to wear a mask during a meeting with State Senator Tina Polsky in 2021, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was undergoing radiation therapy. He also declined to acknowledge whether he had received a COVID-19 vaccine during that meeting. Key Quotes “Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health.” (Regarding mRNA COVID-19 vaccines) “Once again, the federal government is failing Americans by refusing to be honest about the risks and not providing sufficient clinical evidence when it comes to these COVID-19 mRNA shots, especially with how widespread immunity is now.” (Regarding COVID-19 mRNA boosters)

- REINER FUELLMICH - A POLITICAL PRISONER
Written By: Cynthia Salatino and Seba Terribilini Well-known attorney Reiner Fuellmich is being detained under terrible conditions for reasons that have nothing to do with what he is accused of. He had the courage to speak out on the truth and he is now paying for that courage. He is, without any doubts, a political prisoner! We need to spread the word regarding this scandal in order to put pressure on the orchestrators of these events in Germany. I will give you an overview of the situation, but to start with, let me briefly summarize who Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is. Reiner Fuellmich Reiner Fuellmich, 66, has been a trial lawyer in Germany and California for about 30 years and has always defended consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises against large corporations. He has won major cases against Volkswagen (the diesel issue), Kühne und Nagel, and Deutsche Bank, for which Fuellmich himself worked, and which he defines as “one of the largest criminal organizations”. During the lockdowns in 2020, Fuellmich and his wife were in their ranch in California, but as the situation appeared to them to be quite strange, they decided to return to Germany to find out what was really going on. COVID crimes against humanity He soon recognized the COVID crimes against humanity and on July 10, together with three other lawyers, Viviane Fischer, Antonia Fischer (no relation) and Justus Hoffmann, he created the “CORONA INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE” in Berlin, whose aim was to shed light on the actions of governments, institutions, the medical community, etc. in the context of the C-19 pandemic. The main questions Fuellmich sought answers to were: · how dangerous is this virus? · how reliable is the PCR test “recycled” by Drosden? · what damage is being caused to the world’s economy by the lockdowns? Fuellmich's Interviews Fuellmich conducted a vast series of interviews (approx. 400) and consulted nearly 150 scientists and experts from around the world in all fields, such as: · Nobel Prize winner Dr. Luc Montagnier, · Famed American cardiologist and epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough · Dr. Mike Yeadon (ex vice-president of Pfizer) · Dr. Judy Mikovits (scientist) · Dr. Robert Malone (American biochemist and pioneer of the mRNA technology) · Forensic pathologist Dr. Roger Hodkinson · German forensic pathologist Dr. Arne Burkhardt (who, together with a group of pathologists, performed autopsies on vaccinated persons) · Dr. Astrid Stückelberger (scientist and researcher) · Dr. Simone Gold (founder, America's Frontline Doctors) · Dr. Antonietta Gatti (scientist) · Dr. Mattias Desmet (psychologist) and many others. He also consulted financial experts, historians, investigative journalists and writers, such as: · Ernst Wolff (writer, journalist and finance expert) · James Corbett (writer and investigative journalist) · Matthew Ehret (writer and journalist) · David Icke (writer and journalist) · Naomi Wolf (journalist, writer and US political consultant) Fuellmich also interviewed other very influential persons, such as: · Vera Sharav (Holocaust survivor and human rights activist) · Catherine Austin Fitts (Former US Assistant Secretary for Housing and Urban Development and financial expert) · Calin Georgesco (former high ranking member of the United Nations) · Monsignor Carlo Maria Viganò (Archbishop) · Pascal Najadi (former Swiss banker and current film producer who denounced the president of the Helvetic confederation, Alain Berset) and many, many others. PCR test pandemic His investigations led to the conclusions that the COVID “emergency” was never about public health, as there was no pandemic. If anything, one can speak of a “PCR test pandemic”. It was precisely thanks to these tests, which generated more than 95% false positives, that it was possible to inflate the number of COVID “cases”. According to Fuellmich, this was the fundamental point on which allegations of intentional wrongdoing by the governments of most nations worldwide could be based. Furthermore, all governments have acted and are acting against the interests of their citizens and are evidently under the control of the large, multinational corporations and NGOs that Fuellmich henceforth referred to as “ Mr. Global ”. Mr. Global has committed and is still committing, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest crime against humanity. It is important to mention that most of the interviews conducted by Reiner Fuellmich and Viviane Fischer were taped in Berlin via Zoom. Justus Hoffmann and Antonia Fischer however, only participated at the very beginning. In the summer of 2022, Fuellmich left Berlin and spent several weeks in the USA where he embarked upon the “Crimes against Humanity” speaking tour, together with Dr. Judy Mikovits, Dr. Richard Fleming and Patrick Wood. His absence from Berlin led to some dissension among the members of the “Corona Investigative Committee”. In autumn 2022, Viviane Fischer who, together with Fuellmich was the most active member of the committee, ousted Fuellmich from the committee without forewarning. This action was done by way of a Zoom meeting, and was done in a deceptive manner. She told Fuellmich that the Zoom meeting, which had already been planned, would no longer take place. Instead, the scheduled Zoom meeting was held, and in that meeting she informed the participants that there were some irregularities which needed to be clarified, and that the Corona Investigative Committee would continue without Reiner Fuellmich. Fuellmich only learned of this afterwards. After some time, he then started his own new project: the ICIC (International Crimes Investigative Committee). BACKGROUND Before being ousted from the Corona Committee, aware of the imminent threat of seizure of the Corona Investigative Committee’s bank accounts by the German government, and the fear of no longer being able to use the funds raised by private donations to continue the Committee’s very important work, Reiner Fuellmich and Viviane Fischer decided to protect the donations by purchasing gold for the value one million Euros. They also each took a personal loan in order to secure the funds: €700,000 (Fuellmich) and €100,000 (Viviane Fischer). These loan agreements were made in writing by way of signed contracts. Viviane Fischer repaid the loan in installment, starting in mid-August 2022 and ending in October 2022. In that same period, Reiner Fuellmich was negotiating the sale of his home in Göttingen, which was expected to sell for €1.350.000. Part of this sum was to be used to repay the loan. REINER FUELLMICH MADE IT CLEAR FROM THE OUTSET THAT REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN WOULD TAKE PLACE IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETION OF THE SALE OF HIS PROPERTY! In the meantime, however, since Reiner Fuellmich’s bank accounts had been frozen, he delegated Marcel Templin (attorney-at-law, partner of Justus Hoffmann and Antonia Fischer) to manage and supervise, amongst other things, (1) a class action project which Fuellmich had been working on; and (2) the sale of Fuellmich’s home. Reiner Fuellmich's home was indeed sold, and the money from the sale ended up in Marcel Templin's bank account, thus preventing Reiner Fuellmich from repaying the €700,000 loan. This gave Antonia Fischer, Justus Hoffman and Marcel Templin the opportunity to accuse him of having embezzled funds from the Corona Investigative Committee. FUELLMICH’S 'DEPORTATION' FROM MEXICO Reiner Fuellmich had traveled to England to interview a former British Secret service agent. Upon his return to the United States, he was denied entry, no doubt due to his activities exposing the true nature of the COVID emergency measures. Denied entry into the U.S., Fuellmich and his wife went to Mexico where they remained for a few months while attempting to resolve the many problems which had arisen. As they had lost their passports, they applied for new ones and were instructed by the German embassy to go to Tijuana to pick up the new passports. Seeing as how the embassy was closed for remodeling, Fuellmich and his wife were told to go to directly to the airport to pick up their new passports. Once at the airport, the Mexican police took Reiner Fuellmich into custody with the excuse that he did not have a valid passport/visa. He was then put on a flight (paid for by the German government!) to Frankfurt, where he was arrested and told that a European arrest warrant was pending on him. Strangely, his wife –who allegedly had the same problem with her travel documents-- after having spent the night in jail, was released and allowed to remain in Mexico, where she is to this day. As it ends up, there was NO international arrest warrant, NOR any formal extradition process in place. This means that Fuellmich was abducted under false pretenses. A week after his arrest in Frankfurt, Fuellmich was transported to the maximum-security prison in Rosdorf, where he remains even today in custody. All motions to have him released on bail were rejected. In the past 11 months or so, there have already been 28 hearings, and in each one of these some startling and baffling facts have come out about what is going on. Of the initial 18 charges made against Fuellmich, only one remains: that regarding the personal loans. The judge, Carsten Schindler, decided that he DOES NOT CONSIDER them to be personal loans, despite the written and signed contracts. In fact, judge Schindler considers these loans to be fictitious loans and, on May 3 he announced that for him the facts were already clear; that Reiner Fuellmich had acted in bad faith and had embezzled those funds. He also stated that he intended to convict Fuellmich at all costs, and that there was no need to hear the testimony of any other witnesses for the defense. His conclusions are based almost exclusively on the inconsistent testimony of Viviane Fischer. It is important to note that, up to that point, the witnesses allowed to testify were almost exclusively those of the prosecution. However, the key witness, namely Marcel Templin --one of Fuellmich's accusers!-- into whose bank account the money from the sale of Fuellmich’s home ended up—WAS NOT CALLED TO TESTIFY! The defense, stunned by these statements made by Judge Schlinder, requested a stay of proceedings and was given time until June 10 to bring forth further evidence and witnesses. Another very important thing to mention is that one of Fuellmich's defense lawyers, Dr. Christof Miseré, had come into possession of a dossier of the German secret services, in which it is clearly stated that Fuellmich must be stopped at all costs and in every possible manner, and that this must be accomplished by “INFILTRATING PEOPLE AMONGST HIS CLOSEST COLLABORATORS”! It was also their stated objective to convict Fuellmich in order to prevent him from seeking public / political office in the future. This dossier, given to Miseré by a whistleblower, demonstrates that Reiner Fuellmich was already under special surveillance as far back as 2021. Obviously, the prosecutors as well as the judge do not believe that this dossier is real. It should also be mentioned that there is a whole series of evidence (e-mails, written by the young public prosecutor John) which speak of the “dirty job” done behind Fuellmich's back by his accusers. “The court's statements sound like a prefabricated declaration by an entity similar to the Stasi (former West Germany secret police), without any legal dogmatic basis. The most legally pathetic proceedings of the last 30 years” Statement of Christof Miserè, lawyer of Reiner Fuellmich dated 18th May 2024 Coincidentally, this same prosecutor John was later transferred from Hanover to Göttingen, after the then-prosecutor in Göttingen, who had been asked to investigate Fuellmich, HAD CLEARLY STATED THAT THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT BASIS FOR INVESTIGATING REINER FUELLMICH! VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN PRISON SCANDALOUS EVENTS SCANDALOUS EVENTS TAKING PLACE in ROSDORF PRISON from May 2024 to date. May 5 was Reiner Fuellmich's birthday and, to convey support for him, a celebration (authorized) was organized in his honour, right in front of the prison entrance. Supporters and participants were told that Fuellmich would have his daily hour of outdoor activity between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. At that hour, the group of supporters played music and sang in order that Fuellmich would hear them from the courtyard and be made aware of their presence. Indeed, a voice shouting “freedom” was heard from the courtyard, and Fuellmich’s supporters were overjoyed. It was only the following Monday that it came to be known that, immediately following the hearing the previous Friday, Fuellmich had been denied his hour of outdoor activity and was taken to a different prison cell, and put in solitary confinement. He spent the entire weekend in solitary confinement and was prohibited from contacting his lawyers, which clearly is against German law and human rights of detainees. He was also prohibited from contacting his wife. This punishment was justified by an alleged (anonymous) “tip” that Reiner was recording audio messages to be sent outside the prison. His jail cell was searched from top to bottom, with the use of dogs, looking for a mobile phone or a recorder! It should be noted that Fuellmich had permission from the judge to record phone messages as early as November 2023! A short message from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, dated May 10, about what happened on the weekend of his birthday: https://t.me/ReinerFuellmichEnglish/1357 (The video link is in Telegram) If, at the beginning of the proceedings, there was still hope that this trial would be conducted justly and fairly, that hope vanished for good on May 3 Another short statement from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, dated May 28, regarding the situation of the trial https://t.me/ReinerFuellmichEnglish/1393 (The video link is in Telegram) OTHER RELEVANT EVENTS From June 10, Reiner Fuellmich is escorted by armed security officers in armoured vehicles from the prison to the court and back. In addition to handcuffs attached to a belt, he is also put in ankle shackles and asked to wear a bulletproof vest (the latter of which he declines to wear). It was also aggressively requested of him to give a blood sample, for a purported case of tuberculosis in the prison. Fuellmich steadfastly refused to be injected by needle or to undergo any medical procedure for any purpose. At this point, the defence filed a motion of objection against Judge Schindler, asking that he be removed from the case and replaced, given his blatant bias. As could be expected, the motion was rejected. On June 11 Reiner Fuellmich was once again put in solitary confinement, where he remains to this day. He is not allowed to have any contact with fellow inmates. The stated reason for this measure was that Fuellmich, in conversing with his fellow inmates, was giving them legal tips, something his incarcerators could not tolerate. He is forced to eat alone, spends his free time outdoors (1 hour/day) in complete solitude, is not permitted to use the gymnasium and can only use the telephone when the other inmates have returned to their cells. Statement from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, dated June 12, on the topic of the latest on goings in the proceedings against him as well as on current world events: https://t.me/bitteltv/26837 (The video link is in Telegram) A short statement from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, dated June 29. https://t.me/bitteltv/26984 (The video link is in Telegram) On June 20, it was believed that Judge Schindler and the panel of judges had planned on concluding the trial, but their attempt to do so was thwarted by the intentional absence of Fuellmich’s defense lawyers. On July 10, Judge Schindler, given the failed attempt to conclude the trial three weeks earlier, assigned Reiner Fuellmich an additional public defender, Tobias Pohl. Defense lawyer Katja Wörmer filed a new application for a review of Fuellmich’s detention, demanding an immediate halt of the proceedings and the release of Reiner Fuellmich. On July 19, judge Schindler decided that future hearings, rather than being conducted verbally, must be conducted in written form, thereby violating the basic principles of transparency of public legal proceedings. The defense, claiming this motion unjust and illegal, once again filed a motion of objection against the entire panel of judges. Requests of the defense to hear those witnesses named in the original indictment and subpoena, to question the prosecutor, and to question additional witnesses were also all rejected by the court. The court justified this refusal by stating that any further testimony by witnesses was irrelevant to the clarification of the facts or of the sentence. HAS THE SENTENCE BEEN DECIDED ALREADY? Here is a statement from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, dated July 24. https://t.me/ReinerFuellmichEnglish/1518 On July 31 Reiner Fuellmich filed a new motion of objection against the judge and the entire panel of judges due to the persistence of the proceedings being held in “written” instead of oral format. After almost three months, two defence witnesses were finally admitted. Here is a statement from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, dated August 5, on the ongoing process and current world events: https://t.me/ReinerFuellmichEnglish/1537 On August 6 a new request was made to put Viviane Fischer on the witness stand, but the court rejected this request. The defense, having asked that the motivations for the rejections of the motions presented be made known, was told by the court that those motivations would be made known at the time of the verdict, thus making it impossible for the defense to address those motivations while the trial is still ongoing. This procedure is unfair and illegal. Reiner Fuellmich, once again, filed a motion of objection against the entire panel of judges regarding the order to conduct the proceedings in "written" form instead of verbally. A crucial statement from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, dated August 19, on developments in USA, current world events and the situation in Göttingen. https://t.me/ReinerFuellmichEnglish/1548 On August 23, Prof. Dr. Martin Schwab (lawyer, advisor of the Corona Committee) was allowed to testify. He confirmed that the personal loans were indeed backed by valid loan agreements, and that Reiner Fuellmich had also made known from the start that the funds were put into his real estate property for the sole purpose of keeping them secure. Furthermore, Schwab confirmed that Fuellmich had always intended to return this money to the Corona Committee, as soon as his home was sold. "ON THE BASIS OF THIS TESTIMONY, LAWYER REINER FUELLMICH SHOULD BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY". defense lawyer Dr. Christof Miseré. On August 28 an additional attorney joined the defence team: lawyer Edgar Siemund, expert in corporate law. Unexpectedly, with the trial still underway and evidence for the defence yet to be presented, the judge instructed the prosecution to make its closing statement. The prosecution has asked for a guilty sentence, with 3 years and 9 months of detention for Fuellmich. On August 30 two more defense witnesses were finally heard. The first testimony showed that: · Viviane Fischer and Reiner Fuellmich both wanted to secure the funds from the donations; · Viviane Fischer knew that the group of accusers wanted to sue both herself and Fuellmich, which is why she quickly repaid her part of the loan, three weeks before the impending lawsuit. · Viviane Fischer knew that Fuellmich's money would be invested in his real estate. Viviane Fischer never had any doubt that Fuellmich would pay back the €700,000 to the Corona Committee. The second witness, a lawyer who worked at Fuellmich's law firm for many years, confirmed that: · Reiner Fuellmich had already intended to sell his property in Göttingen, and that the money generated from the sale was to be used to repay the loan; · Fuellmich intended to continue working in his law firm even after the sale of the property. Personal note: The insinuations that Fuellmich wanted to sell everything to flee to Mexico with the money are unfounded and utterly ridiculous! CONCLUSION · The deportation of Reiner Fuellmich from Mexico was disguised as a legal extradition. It was not; · Fuellmich has been in solitary confinement since June 11, for an accusation which is the equivalent of a misdemeanor. · All trial motions presented by the defense, with few exceptions, are continually rejected and the motivation for those rejections will not be made known until the time of sentencing. · Proceedings conducted in written form is a violation of the principle of transparency in a public trial and of the defendant's right to be heard. · All motions of objection against the judge and the entire panel of judges are continually rejected. REINER FUELLMICH HAS BEEN IN PRE-TRIAL DETENTION FOR NEARLY 11 MONTHS. The maximum length of pre-trial detention in Germany is 6 months If not an outright obstruction of justice, we are witnessing nothing less than an inquisition!!! A detailed explanation by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich from September 1, 2024 on the current proceedings, divided into four statements. https://t.me/ReinerFuellmichEnglish/1585 Reiner’s mother CLOSING COMMENT: the death of Reiner’s mother We received the sad news that Reiner Fuellmich’s mother passed away yesterday morning, September 2, 2024. Fuellmich had been previously informed that his elderly mother was ill and bedridden and that it was only a matter of time before she passed away. He had made a written request to the prison to be taken to his mother’s bedside in Bremen so that he could see her one last time. The prison was willing to grant him this request, on the condition that he would have to visit her in handcuffs and shackles, accompanied by armed penitentiary guards. Unwilling to subject his mother to additional suffering during their final moments together, Reiner did not accept those terms. Even at the cost of never seeing his mother again, he was not willing to subject her to the further anguish of seeing her son in chains. One can only imagine his grief, not only for having lost his mother, but for not having been permitted to visit and hug her one last time. It is not known whether he will be permitted to attend her funeral services. All we can do is send him our comforting thoughts and prayers. The defence filed a motion to suspend the hearing scheduled for September 3. The court postponed the hearing to September 6, granting Reiner exactly three days of bereavement. Since this matter has been given, at best, very marginal attention by the media (go figure!), we believe that the time is well overdue to bring out into the open this obstruction of justice -a modern-day inquisition in a kangaroo court-- of an innocent man who is clearly a "problem" for Mr. Global, as Reiner himself would call the powers-that-be which are influencing the violations being made by the German court Written by Cynthia Salatino and Seba Terribilini If you'd like to write a message to Reiner...

- NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Memory from 12 years ago visiting Professor Yury Grigoriev in Moscow. I directly asked Professor Yury Grigoriev a question with respect to comparing the severity of non-ionizing radiation compared to ionizing radiation. He said, “Ionizing radiation is monitored with safety systems in place to contain and control and prevent overexposure. The current proliferation of wireless frequencies is worse as levels of non-ionizing radiation are constantly increasing and ubiquitous; it is out of control. The world-wide dissemination of mobile telecommunications has resulted in new sources of large-scale population exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. Prevention of childhood and juvenile diseases from exposure to EMF sources is of paramount social and economic importance. It is one of the bases for public health policy in the near and long-term future. The human brain and the nervous system tissues directly perceive EMF and react irrespective of its intensity, and in certain cases it depends on EMF modulation. This feature distinguishes EMF from all other environmental factors and complicates human health risk assessment for EMF exposure. A situation has emerged that cumulative EMF exposure of children may be comparable to adult exposure and may be equal to the levels of occupational exposure of workers. The current standards are outdated and inadequate. Urgent action is needed to curb the negative impact from this physical agent.” Professor Yury Grigoriev said: “Man conquered the Black Plague, but he has created new problems – EMF Pollution.” His long scientific career saw his expertise called upon as a member of the Russian Governmental commission to help contain the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. He worked for 14 years, leading scientists in research on radiation safety of Soviet astronauts. He was a mentor for 70 scientists and author of 21 monographic books and more than 400 peer-reviewed papers, published in national and international journals. He was the Fellow Chairman of the Russian national committee for protection from non-ionizing radiation, member of the Bureau of the Scientific Council on Radiobiology of Russian Academy of Sciences, member of the Russian Scientific Commission on radiation protection, Permanent member of the International consulting Committee of World Health Organization on Electromagnetic fields and public health, Member of International Commission on Electromagnetic safety, Member of the section on Space Biology and Medicine at Russian Academy of Science, Member of the Editorial board of Russian journal Radiation biology. Radioecology. He received a number of recognitions and awards for his participation in the World War II, including Medal for liberation of Minsk and Medal for Liberation of Belorussia. He also received Order Lenin, Order Workers Red Flag, Medal Yuri Gagarin and the Gold cross of Federal Medical Biological agency for his scientific activity.

- THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH
One of the young doctors within UKMFA (The United Kingdom Medical Freedom) group told me that when she had trained at Nottingham medical school, they had not made the oath. I'm not sure if this was just her medical school or 'forgetting the basics ' is now widespread across the UK. In The US they still take the oath seriously as can be seen in these key videos below. YALE MEDICAL STUDENTS HARVARD MEDICAL STUDENTS THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH What is the Hippocratic Oath? The Hippocratic Oath is attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who is commonly believed to be its author, even though its exact origins are unclear. It is possible that it was penned by one of his disciples or by a group of individuals. Serving as a longstanding code of conduct, the oath serves as a significant standard for healthcare practitioners embarking on or concluding their training. Through pledging to uphold the values outlined in the oath, healthcare professionals commit to acting with integrity and ethics. Those taking the "original" Hippocratic Oath promise to: respect and support their teachers share medical knowledge with others who are interested use their knowledge of medicine and diet to help patients avoid harming patients, including providing no "deadly medicine" even if requested to do so not provide a "remedy" that causes an abortion seek help from other physicians (such as a surgeon) when necessary avoid "mischief," "injustice," and "sexual relations" during visits to patients' homes keep patient information confidential. More modern revisions have avoided any mention of abortion and, as in a popular 1964 revision (by Dr. Louis Lasagna, a physician at Johns Hopkins University), treated euthanasia with more nuance: "...it may…be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God." In addition, Dr. Lasagna encouraged a holistic and preventive approach to care: "I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure." What's missing? Today's doctors face a number of important ethical issues that are not included in the Hippocratic Oath. For example, it makes no mention of: honoring patients' preferences sharing medical information with patients avoiding conflicts of interest, such as profiting by ordering unnecessary tests or treatments protecting patients who enroll in research studies treating all patients equally, regardless of ability to pay, social class, education, race, or suspicion of criminality avoiding the practice of medicine while impaired (due to physical or psychological disease). THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH (The following is a modern version of the oath written in 1964 by Dr. Louis Lasagna, then a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University and later ean of the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts University:) I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow. I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism. I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug. I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery. I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God. I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm. If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

- CONFIRMED - ARTICAINE GRAPHENE OXIDE IN DENTAL ANAESTHETIC
Dr. Lundstrom, a family dentist, reached out to Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea for darkfield microscopy testing of dental anaesthetics. The analysis was conducted at the University of Boulder, Colorado, confirming the presence of graphene. Dr. Lundstrom has shared the findings on his website, documenting his quest for answers. Jessica Hankins performed the Raman microscopy analysis on the anaesthetics. The dental Anaesthetic in question: Articaine Many of you will know the most widely used anaesthetic is Lidocaine. Articaine is a type of dental amide local anaesthetic. It is extensively used in various European countries and is widely accessible worldwide. It is distinguished by its inclusion of a thiophene ring, making it 'thiophenic' and enhancing its lipid solubility. Studies comparing lidocaine and articaine found that articaine is more effective than lidocaine in anaesthetising the posterior first molar region. [12] Articaine has been found to be 3.81 times more likely than lidocaine to produce successful anaesthesia when used for infiltration injections. However, there is no evidence to support the use of articaine over lidocaine for inferior alveolar nerve blocks. [13] Furthermore, articaine has been demonstrated to be superior to lidocaine for use of supplementary infiltration following persistent pain despite a successful inferior dental nerve block with lidocaine. But why would Graphene be in it and for what reason? More on this in an upcoming article. Subscribe to get updates: https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/join The conclusion of the Colorado University tests: ■ Based on spectral results portraying D, G, and 2D peaks, I can affirm the presence of graphene oxide particles in this anaesthetic with high confidence. – Although I have confirmed the presence of graphene oxide in this anesthetic, the concentration or amount of graphene oxide particles in the anaesthetic is unclear. ■ Spectrum acquired from the dried-liquid anaesthetic produced inconclusive results, indicating a need for further testing for the determination of lipid nanoparticles or hydrogels in the solution.

DOWNLOAD THE PAPER THE DOCUMENTARY Just as we expected. This is of huge concern. In my opinion, this means the unvaccinated, who avoided the c19 jabs, are being injected with the very same biotech as those who agreed to the so-called 'mRNA vaccines'. Proving the graphene due to its distinct makeup is comparatively easy. It is much harder to prove the existence of the highly advanced hydrogels that were also present in the C19 jabs. Since graphene is in dental anaesthetics, the accompanying hydrogels that complete the biotech are likely to be present too - but as yet unconfirmed. It is the combination of the graphene and the hydrogels that make up the bioweapon - a technology designed to make us sensitive to certain frequencies. This is a move on an unprecedented scale to try and connect humans to the internet and in turn AI. This biotech is designed to make us more susceptible to man-made frequencies taking us to a new level of transhumanism. To be blunt, to make us 'remote control' where our emotions can be controlled, making us either angry, docile, agitated or stressed. More worrying these frequencies will be used to trick us into believing we have been infected with a pathogen and are suffering symptoms encouraging us in our media-induced panic to roll our sleeves up for the next cure-all-jab. As I have said many times before since investigating vaccine-induced magnetism, this is the greatest crime against mankind ever witnessed in history. As a member of this newsletter, you will know I have been on this subject since May 2021. I have been at the coal end of the magnetism/graphene issue, in more ways than just research, for three years now. You can see the NOTB magnetism films here . Since most had been jabbed by the summer of 2021, and when I realised the scale of the atrocity, I moved away from warning people about the jabs, into the cures. I have been researching methods of detoxification from the graphene. There are many, I have tried some extensively, lined up others and have been lucky enough to meet scientists deep down this line of investigation. It is now time to make a film, In the near future, I will release more films with easy-to-understand information and showing how to detox. However, the first film I need to make is the most critical - A short film that people can present to their dentists explaining how to get the graphene out before giving the anaesthetic. I will then move on to these subjects Proving graphene in the anaesthetics and other injectables How to get rid of the graphene from our bodies Explaining why the graphene is in the jabs Healthcare and precautions for those with graphene who have not yet detoxed ...and many more important details around this area. More in future emails. I will turn the short films into a feature documentary. We are moving as fast of light on this.

- CRUCIAL AUTOPSY STUDY LINKING DEATHS TO C19 JAB DEATHS GETS WITHDRAWN - WHY?
The paper below was withdrawn citing many reasons. Before giving time to these purported reasons, read the paper's findings below. I think you'll easily work out the real reasons behind the paper's censorship and the culprits behind the attempted coverup. The paper's conclusion: "...We found 73.9% of deaths after COVID-19 vaccination were attributable to fatal vaccine injury syndromes..." Here is the paper.

The aim of this systematic review is to investigate possible causal links between COVID-19 vaccine administration and death using autopsies and post-mortem analysis. Methods: We searched for all published autopsy and necropsy reports relating to COVID-19 vaccination up until May 18th, 2023. We initially identified 678 studies and, after screening for our inclusion criteria, included 44 papers that contained 325 autopsy cases and one necropsy case. Three physicians independently reviewed all deaths and determined whether COVID-19 vaccination was the direct cause or contributed significantly to death. Findings: The most implicated organ system in COVID-19 vaccine-associated death was the cardiovascular system (53%), followed by the hematological system (17%), the respiratory system (8%), and multiple organ systems (7%). Three or more organ systems were affected in 21 cases. The mean time from vaccination to death was 14.3 days. Most deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration. A total of 240 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination. Interpretation: The consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine adverse events, their mechanisms, and related excess death, coupled with autopsy confirmation and physician-led death adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death in most cases. Further urgent investigation is required for the purpose of clarifying our findings.

Further urgent investigation is required for the purpose of clarifying our findings. Evidence before this study COVID-19 vaccines, with known mechanisms of injury to the human body and a substantial number of adverse event reports, represent an exposure that we hypothesized to be possibly linked to death in some cases. Thus, we searched PubMed and ScienceDirect for all published autopsy and necropsy reports relating to COVID-19 vaccination through May 18th, 2023 using keywords relating to COVID-19 vaccines, death, autopsy, and necropsy. We found that no comprehensive review of autopsy findings in a large series of deaths after COVID19 vaccination that accounts for the current state of knowledge has been conducted. The mechanisms of death from COVID-19 vaccination remain largely unexplored Added value of this study Because the state of knowledge has advanced since the time of the original publications, new assessments regarding COVID-19 vaccine adverse events can be made. Based on the previously published literature of COVID-19 vaccine adverse events, their mechanisms, and related excess death, coupled with autopsy confirmation and physician-led death adjudication, we found a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death among most of the 326 included cases. This is the first study that indicates a high probability of causality between COVID-19 vaccine administration and death in many cases. To date, this is the largest review of autopsy findings in deaths after COVID-19 vaccination, helping the medical community to better understand fatal COVID-19 vaccine syndromes. Implications of all the available evidence Further urgent investigation is required aimed at confirming our results and further elucidating the mechanisms underlying the described fatal outcomes with the goal of risk mitigation for the large numbers of individuals who have taken one or more COVID-19 vaccines. If a large number of deaths are indeed causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination, the implications could be immense, including: the complete withdrawal of all COVID-19 vaccines from the global market, suspension of all remaining COVID-19 vaccine mandates and passports, loss of public trust in government and medical institutions, investigations and inquiries into the censorship, silencing and persecution of doctors and scientists who raised these concerns, and compensation for those who were harmed as a result of the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. INTRODUCTION As of May 31st , 2023, SARS-CoV-2 has infected an estimated 767,364,883 people globally, resulting in 6,938,353 deaths1 . As a direct response to this worldwide catastrophe, governments adopted a coordinated approach to limit caseloads and mortality utilizing a combination of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and novel gene-based vaccine platforms. The first doses of vaccine were administered less than 11 months after the identification of the SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequence (in the United States, under the Operation Warp Speed initiative), which represented the fastest vaccine development in history with limited assurances of short and long-term safety2 . At the time of writing, about 69% of the world population have been inoculated with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine1 . The most frequently utilized COVID-19 vaccine platforms include inactivated virus (Sinovac – CoronaVac), protein subunit (Novavax – NVXCoV2373), viral vector (AstraZeneca – ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, Johnson & Johnson – Ad26.COV2.S), and messenger RNA (Pfizer-BioNTech – BNT162b2, Moderna – mRNA-1273)3 . All utilize mechanisms that can cause serious adverse events; most involve the uncontrolled synthesis of the spike glycoprotein (SP) as the basis of the immunological response. Circulating SP is the likely deleterious mechanism through which COVID-19 vaccines produce adverse effects4,5,7,8,10,11 . SP and/or subunits/peptide fragments can trigger ACE2 receptor degradation and internalization, which may also cause destabilization of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), resulting in possible enhanced inflammation, vasoconstriction, and thrombosis4 . SP activates platelets, causes endothelial damage, and directly promotes arterial and venous thrombosis5 . Moreover, immune system cells that have taken up the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) then release them back into the circulation with elevated numbers of exosomes containing SP and microRNAs that play a role in inducing a signaling response in recipient cells at distant sites, resulting in severe inflammatory consequences5 . Further, long term cancer control may be jeopardized in those injected with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines because of IRF7 and IRF9 suppression5 . There is a distinct potential of a causal link between SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination and neurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell's palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, impaired DNA damage response and tumorigenesis5 . These findings are supported by the recent discovery that repeated COVID-19 vaccination with mRNA-based vaccines causes production of abnormally high levels of IgG4 antibodies which can lead to immune tolerance to SP, immune suppression, and promote the development of autoimmune diseases, myocarditis, and cancer growth6 . Neurotoxic effects of SP may cause or contribute to the post-COVID syndrome, including headache, tinnitus, autonomic dysfunction, and small fiber neuropathy7 . Specific to the administration of viral vector COVID-19 vaccines (AstraZeneca; Johnson and Johnson) a new clinical syndrome called vaccineinduced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) was identified in 2021 and characterized by the development of thromboses at atypical body sites combined with severe thrombocytopenia after vaccination9 . The pathogenesis of this lifethreatening side effect is currently unknown, though it has been proposed that VITT is caused by post-vaccination antibodies against platelet factor 4 (PF4) triggering extensive platelet activation9 . mRNA-based vaccines rarely cause VITT, but they are associated with myocarditis, or inflammation of myocardium10 . The mechanisms for the development of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are not clear, but it has been hypothesized that it may be caused by molecular mimicry of SP and self-antigens, immune response to mRNA, and dysregulated cytokine expression10 . In adolescents and young adults diagnosed with post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis, free SP was detected in the blood while vaccinated controls had no circulating SP 11 . It has been demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine sequences can circulate in the blood for at least 28 days after vaccination12 . These data indicate that adverse events may occur for an unknown period after vaccination, with SP playing an important potential etiological role. A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) document obtained from the Australian Government, titled Nonclinical Evaluation of BNT162b2 [mRNA] COVID-19 vaccine (COMIRNATY), shows systemic distribution of the LNPs containing mRNA after vaccine administration in rats, concluding that LNPs reached their highest concentration at the injection site, followed by the liver, spleen, adrenal glands, ovaries, and bone marrow (femur) over 48 hours13. This biodistribution data suggests that SP may be expressed in cells from many vital organ systems, raising significant concerns regarding the safety profile of COVID19 vaccines. Given the identified vaccination syndromes and their possible mechanisms, the frequency of adverse event reports is expected to be high, especially given the vast number of vaccine doses administered globally. Through May 5th, 2023, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) contained 1,556,050 adverse event reports associated with COVID-19 vaccines, including 35,324 deaths, 26,928 myocarditis and pericarditis, 19,546 heart attacks, and 8,701 thrombocytopenia reports14 . If the alarmingly high number of reported deaths are indeed causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination, the implications could be immense, including: the complete withdrawal of all COVID19 vaccines from the global market, suspension of all remaining COVID-19 vaccine mandates and passports, loss of public trust in government and medical institutions, investigations and inquiries into the censorship, silencing and persecution of doctors and scientists who raised these concerns, and compensation for those who were harmed as a result of the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. Using VAERS data alone to establish a causal link between COVID-19 vaccination and death, however, is not possible due to many limitations and confounding factors. Autopsies are one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine to establish cause of death and clarify the pathophysiology of disease15 . COVID-19 vaccines, with plausible mechanisms of injury to the human body and a substantial number of adverse event reports, represent an exposure that may be causally linked to death in some cases. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate possible causal links between COVID-19 vaccine administration and death using autopsies and post-mortem analysis. Methods We performed a systematic review of all published autopsy and necropsy reports relating to COVID-19 vaccination through May 18th, 2023. All autopsy studies that include COVID-19 vaccines as a possible cause of death were included. All necropsy (analysis of dead tissue) studies that include COVID-19 vaccines as a possible cause of organ death were included. No other restrictions were imposed. The following databases were used: PubMed and ScienceDirect. The following keywords were used: ‘COVID-19 Vaccine’, ‘SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine’, ‘COVID Vaccination’, and ‘Post-mortem’, ‘Autopsy’, or ‘Necropsy’. All selected studies were screened for relevant literature contained in their references. Because the state of knowledge has advanced since the time of the original publications, we performed a contemporary review: three physicians (RH, WM, PAM) with experience in death adjudication and anatomical/clinical pathology independently reviewed the available information of each case and determined whether or not COVID-19 vaccination was the direct cause or contributed significantly to the mechanism of death described. Agreement was reached when two or more physicians adjudicated the case concordantly. For the study by Chaves20, only cardiovascular and hematological system related cases were adjudicated as being linked to the vaccine due to a high probability of COVID-19 vaccination contributing to death and missing individual case information for the other individuals. Given the presence of some missing data, we used all available information to calculate the descriptive statistics. Estimated age (exact age not given) and inferred time from last vaccine administration to death (no definitive time given) were excluded from calculations. Results A database search yielded 678 studies that had potential to meet our inclusion criterion. 562 duplicates were screened out. Out of the remaining 116 papers, 36 met our specified inclusion criterion. Through further analysis of references, we located 18 additional papers, with 8 of them meeting our inclusion criterion. In total, we found 44 studies that contained autopsy or necropsy reports of COVID-19 vaccinees (Figure 1). Table 1 summarizes the 44 studies16-59 . There were a total of 325 autopsy cases and 1 necropsy case (heart). The mean age of death was 70.4 years and there were 139 females (42.6%). Most received a Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (41%), followed by Sinovac (37%), AstraZeneca (13%), Moderna (7%), Johnson & Johnson (1%), and Sinopharm (1%). The cardiovascular system was most frequently implicated (53%), followed by hematological (17%), respiratory (8%), multiple organ systems (7%), neurological (4%), immunological (3%), and gastrointestinal (1%). In 7% of cases, the cause of death was either unknown, non-natural (drowning, head injury, etc.) or infection (Figure 2). One organ system was affected in 302 cases, two in 3 cases, three in 8 cases, and four or more in 13 cases (Figure 3). The number of days from vaccination until death was 14.3 (mean), 3 (median) irrespective of dose, 7.8 (mean), 3 (median) after one dose, 23.2 (mean), 2 (median) after two doses, and 5.7 (mean), 2 (median) after three doses. The distribution of days from last vaccine administration to death is highly right skewed, showing that most of the deaths occurred within a week from last vaccination (Figure 4). 240 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated by three physicians to be significantly linked to COVID-19 vaccination (Table S1). Among adjudicators, there was complete independent agreement (all three physicians) of vaccination causing or contributing to death in 203 cases (62.5%). The one necropsy case was judged to be linked to vaccination with complete agreement Discussion We found 73.9% of deaths after COVID-19 vaccination were attributable to fatal vaccine injury syndromes. The cardiovascular system was by far the most implicated organ system in death, followed by hematological, respiratory, multiple organ systems, neurological, immunological, and gastrointestinal (Figure 2), with three or more organ systems affected in 21 cases (Figure 3). The majority of deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration (Figure 4) and were independently adjudicated by three physicians to be significantly associated with vaccination (Table S1). These results corroborate known COVID-19 vaccineinduced syndromes and show significant, temporal associations between COVID19 vaccination and death involving multiple organ systems, with a predominant implication of the cardiovascular and hematological systems. Criteria of causality from an epidemiological perspective have been met including biological plausibility, temporal association, internal and external validity, coherence, analogy, and reproducibility with each successive report of death after COVID-19 vaccination. Our findings amplify concerns regarding COVID-19 vaccine adverse events and their mechanisms. SP’s deleterious effects5,6,7,8,10,11 , especially on the heart10,11 , likely explains the high proportion of cardiovascular deaths seen in our study. They also highlight the involvement of multiple organ systems in some of the deaths associated with COVID-19 vaccination. This might be attributed to the Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) that has been detected following COVID-19 vaccination in both children60 and adults61 . A possible mechanism by which MIS occurs after vaccination could be the systemic distribution of the LNPs containing mRNA after vaccine administration 13 and the consequent systemic SP expression and circulation resulting in system-wide inflammation. A significant proportion of cases were due to hematological system adverse events, which is not surprising given that VITT62 and pulmonary embolism (PE)63 have been reported in the literature as serious adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. Deaths caused by adverse effects to the respiratory system were also relatively common in our review, a finding that is in line with the possibility of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DIILD) after COVID-19 vaccination64,65 . Although uncommon among cases in this study, immunological66 , neurological67 , and gastrointestinal68 adverse events can still occur after COVID-19 vaccination and, as with the cardiovascular system, may be directly or indirectly caused by the systemic expression or circulation of SP. Given the average time (14.3 days) in which cases died after vaccination, a temporal association between COVID-19 vaccination and death among most cases is further supported by the finding that SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine sequences can circulate in the blood for at least 28 days after vaccination12 . Most of the deployed vaccine platforms are associated with death, suggesting that they share a common feature that causes adverse effects, which is most likely SP. The large number of COVID-19 vaccine induced deaths evaluated in this review is consistent with multiple papers that report excess mortality after vaccination. Pantazatos and Seligmann found that all-cause mortality increased 0- 5 weeks post-injection in most age groups resulting in 146,000 to 187,000 vaccineassociated deaths in the United States between February and August of 202169 . With similar findings, Skidmore estimated that 278,000 people may have died from the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States by December 202170 . These concerning results were further elucidated by Aarstad and Kvitastein, who found that among 31 countries in Europe, a higher population COVID-19 vaccine uptake in 2021 was positively correlated with increased all-cause mortality in the first nine months of 2022 after controlling for alternative explanations71 . Furthermore, excess mortality from non-COVID-19 causes has been detected in many countries since the mass vaccination programs began72,73,74,75,76,77 , suggesting a common deleterious exposure among populations. Pantazatos estimated that VAERS deaths are underreported by a factor of 2069. If we apply this underreporting factor to the May 5th , 2023, VAERS death report count of 35,32414, the number of deaths in the United States alone becomes 706,480. If this extrapolated number of deaths were to be confirmed, the COVID-19 vaccines would represent the largest medical failure in human history. In summary, we identified a large series of deaths after COVID-19 vaccination, confirmed with autopsy and necropsy, to help the medical community better understand fatal COVID-19 vaccine syndromes. The consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine adverse events, their mechanisms, and related excess death, coupled with autopsy confirmation and expert physician death adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death in most cases. Even with substantial evidence, our paper cannot definitively determine causality as our paper has all the limitations of systematic reviews of previously published papers including selection bias, publication bias, and confounding variables. Further urgent investigation is required aimed at confirming our results and further elucidating the mechanisms underlying the described fatal outcomes with the goal of risk mitigation for the large numbers of individuals who have taken one or more COVID-19 vaccines.

- KERRY MURRAY - VISUAL AND SOUND ARCHIVIST TO THE FREEDOM MOVEMENT
Who is Kerry Murray? Kerry Murray is an expat Kiwi, photographer, photojournalist and writer, living in the UK and the photographer behind the photo series 'Portraits of the Resistance' and the DJ interviewer behind the music-based 'Desert Island Disc'style interviews. Quote : "..When the first Covid lockdown started on the 26th March 2020, I can’t deny my shock. There had been rumours for a month or so about a coming UK lockdown, strong ones, though to my mind, perhaps naively, I just didn’t think it was either imminent or feasible. I’d recently returned from a business trip to Singapore, where I had witnessed the building curiosity and panic concerning this virus being called SARS-COV-2 aka Covid-19. Splashed across the mainstream news were terrifying images of men in white suits walking the streets, people confined to their residences, bodybags on the ground and so (sooooo) many masks. Before I left Singapore in February 2020, there was clearly a consensus that Covid was heading that direction. Sure enough, a few days after my arrival back in the UK the country went into ‘Lockdown’..." Since his return from Singapore, the multi-talented Kerry has been archiving the freedom movement in several forms where he wears the hat of photographer and radio interviewer.

- HOW TOXIC IS GRAPHENE OXIDE?
Graphene oxide (GO) is a derivative of graphene, a two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterial. Research indicates that graphene oxide has the potential to cause toxicity in different cell types such as lung cells, brain cells, and blood cells. Specifically, when graphene oxide particles enter the bloodstream, they can interact with blood cells, resulting in cell membrane damage and the release of hemoglobin and other intracellular components. These effects may lead to an inflammatory reaction in the body, contributing to a range of health issues. Studies suggest that exposure to high levels of graphene oxide may cause the following symptoms: Respiratory problems: Graphene oxide nanoparticles can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause inflammation and damage to lung tissue, leading to shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. Skin irritation: Contact with graphene oxide nanoparticles may cause skin irritation, itching, and redness. Eye irritation: Exposure to graphene oxide nanoparticles can cause eye irritation, redness, and watering. Digestive problems: Ingestion of graphene oxide nanoparticles may cause gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Neurological effects: Graphene oxide nanoparticles may have negative effects on the nervous system, including memory impairment, anxiety, and depression. Symptoms of graphene oxide toxicity will vary depending on the dose and duration of exposure, as well as individual factors such as age, health status, and other environmental factors. As the official information says , "...if you suspect you have been exposed to graphene oxide, seek medical attention immediately..." Li, Y., Liu, J., Xiao, Y., Qu, Y., Xie, M., & Sun, Z. (2021).

- WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF GRAPHENE OXIDE BEING PRESENT IN THE C19 JABS?
WHAT DO WE KNOW FOR SURE? People injected with the C19 mRNA vaccine became magnetic at the injection site. Many also seemed to later become magnetic around upper lungs and the sinus region. As stated many times before, we know that no disclosed ingredient could cause this magnetism, which means illegal, undisclosed ingredients and the mass deception of the public. Dr Campra was the first to suggest Graphene Oxide as an explanation and we were lucky enough to be given the English-speaking world’s exclusivity to his findings. Does Dr Campra’s theory of Graphene Oxide explain the vaccine-induced magnetism we observed and proved? Dr Andrew Goldsworthy, retired Biological safety officer for University College London, was the first to put forward the key theory (via Not On The Beeb) that the one-atom thick graphene oxide sheets were so thin that they would act like razor blades, in the same way that innocent looking paper produces ‘paper cuts’. These GO sheets could slice into cells membranes that have a high voltage differential and cause a large magnetic field that would not only majority disrupt our cells activity, but spread like wildfire. Even though the recent claims that the Pfizer docs prove GO was in the vaccines were exaggerated, what are the chances that GO has been used? Recent research makes the chances of this very clear. Here are just three links proving the research and use of GO in other vaccines. Intranasal influenza vaccine enhances immune response and offers broad protection “…"This study gives new insights into developing high-performance intranasal vaccine systems with two-dimensional sheet-like nanoparticles," Dong said. "The graphene oxide nanoparticles have extraordinary attributes for drug delivery or vaccine development, such as the ultra-large surface area for high-density antigen loading, and the vaccine showed superior immunoenhancing properties in vitro and in vivo. The nanoplatform could be easily adapted for constructing mucosal vaccines for different respiratory pathogens…” The results are also promising because needle-free, intranasal influenza vaccines possess superior logistical advantages over traditional injectable vaccines, such as easy administration with high acceptance for recipients. (Editor's comment: plus since airborne, the high amount of ' accidental vaccination'?) https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/05/210503151306.htm Recent progress of graphene oxide as a potential vaccine carrier and adjuvant https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32531395/ Functionalized graphene oxide serves as a novel vaccine nano-adjuvant for robust stimulation of cellular immunity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26814441/ Ironically, it’s worth noting that widespread searches conclude “…that graphene oxide is not currently used in any FDA-approved medical applications, but is an area of active research for potential uses in drug delivery, cancer treatment, and other biomedical applications…” As mentioned above, in spring 2021, during our initial research on the possibility of Graphene Oxide being in the vaccine theory, we found countless studies with GO being used in vaccine development. SUMMARY By joining the dots with the evidence above, I think it's fair to conclude, that GO is more likely than less likely, to be unearthed as a true ingredient, even if it has not been conclusively proven, or admitted to as yet.

- THE EXPOSE FALSELY CLAIMS GRAPHENE OXIDE IN VACCINES
I wrote this post back in April 2023, yet delayed publishing at the time as didn't want to negate the great work of The Expose. However, the post is still doing the rounds and detracts from the very real concerns of Graphene being used in medical products. I have decided to publish it for the record. The expose headline RUMOURS THAT GRAPHENE OXIDE CONFIRMED IN VACCINES Over the last few months, I have had many messages pointing me towards the claim that the forced release of the ‘Pfizer documents’, which they had tried to stall for 75 years, confirm Graphene Oxide has been used in the vaccines. They don’t. As the Daily Expose article rightly explains “Graphene Oxide is required to manufacture the Pfizer Covid-19.” Using GO in the process of manufacturing is very different to GO being used as a direct ingredient. This might seem a pedanticism to many, but the difference is huge. If GO is used as an overlay in the manufacturing process very little if any at all would ever contaminate the end product. Using graphene as an ingredient is in another ball game. We know research is being done, with graphene is being used to make people more sensitive to certain frequencies. Using undeclared ingredients with such potential is not only unethical but illegal. Summary. This is NOT a declaration of graphene being used in vaccines. It is just a mention that graphene is used as a coating on mesh within the manufacturing processes. Graphene is dangerous and we should be on high alert for its use. This is the section The Expose refers to: Download the Pfizer papers here There have been many other what appear to be false leads and false claims that weaken the GO in vaccine research. Talk of self-assembling nano-bot robot arms, snake venom and misunderstanding the perpendicular construction of cholesterol crystals, diverts attention from what are facts. What is the likel i hood of Graphene Oxide being used in the C19 vaccines? More coming soon. Subscribe for updates: https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/join

- SHOULD WE TRUST HERBAL REMEDIES OR ARE THEY JUST MONKEY BUSINESS?
What does this Orangutan have in common with me? Apart from the strong cheekbones, stylish beard and devastating good looks, the shared characteristic between us, is our use of naturally growing local herbs for significant medicinal reasons. I am learning how to use Yarrow via the great tradition of Europe's finest witches and healers, knowledge kept alive via old wife's recipes and treasured books by the likes of Maria Treban (thank you Dr T) and more. See more about Yarrow here. Yet, it is orangutan Rakus that is causing a ruckus, due to his bare-faced success in herbal healing without an apparent lineage of healers to learn from. THE STORY OF THE ORANGATAN HERBAL HEALER Excitement has grown after what has been seen as to quote the BBC " the first time a creature in the wild has been recorded treating an injury with a medicinal plant." An orangutan in Sumatra after suffering a war wound has been seen using a plant called Akar Kuning. The orangutan's use of this plant has sparked great interest for three reasons. 1 - The plant is not part of the Orangutan's normal diet. 2 - The orangutan chewed the leaves and used the resulting paste as a poultice applying it to the wound. 3 - The plant Akar Kuning ( Fibraurea tinctoria ) has scientific studies to prove it has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties and is used locally to treat malaria and diabetes. However, I think the thing that has blown away the scientists is also the effectiveness of the remedy. A large open wound like this in the jungle could have been expected to become infected and be fatal. The images below detail the healing achieved over six weeks. BEFORE AND AFTER In a photograph taken on June 23, 2022, an adult male orangutan named Rakus was seen with a facial injury on the left side. Two days later, he applied chewed leaves from an akar kuning plant to treat the wound. Within a month the wound had closed. By August 8, 2022, when photographed again, the wound was barely visible. credits Armas ( left ); Safruddin ( right ) THE CHEWING OF THE LEAVES AND MAKING A POULTICE Step through images of the healing process The scientists have been amazed as it seems to mimic the ancient herbal practices of humans even suggesting the Orangatans might have learnt it from 'ancestors': Scientists say the behaviour could come from a common ancestor shared by humans and great apes."They are our closest relatives and this again points towards the similarities we share with them. We are more similar than we are different," said biologist Dr Isabella Laumer at the Max Planck institute in Germany and lead author of the research. This is quite an admission as it infers the wisdom of herbal medicine does not just belong to our wise ones, but could predate humanity itself. Could an intuition towards 'knowing healing plants' be embedded within our DNA? If so, any being with a finer intuition towards the correct plant medicine will have for sure outlived and outbred any competitor. You can see more of the medicinal herbs and spices used and perfected by man in the range at Mamma-Nature.co.uk These are the medicinal properties of the plant Rukus chose to use. THE MEDICINAL PLANT: Akar Kuning Fibraurea tinctoria , has other generic names such as Akar Kuning It is known for its analgesic, antipyretic, antidote, and diuretic effects, and is used in traditional medicine to treat conditions such as dysentery, diabetes, and malaria 51 , 54 , 55 . All plant parts have been reported to be used for these medical applications, including leaves, stems, roots and bark 54 . Pharmacological analysis of the plant's chemical compounds reveals the presence of furanoditerpenoids . These compounds are known for to be antibacterial anti-inflammatory anti-fungal antioxidant anticarcinogenic 55,56 . Fibraurea tinctoria is also rich in protoberberine alkaloids, which are known to be anti-inflammatory analgesic anticonvulsant antiamnesic narcotic antiarrhythmic antihemorrhagi hypotensive antioxidant antitumoral antidiuretic antiulcer muscle relaxant activities 57 . Additionally, it contains jatrorrhizine known to be antidiabetic antimicrobia antiprotozoal anticancer, hypolipidemi (as reviewed in 58 ) Additionally, it contains palmatine recognized to be anticancer antioxidation anti-inflammator antibacterial antiviral effect (as reviewed in 59,60 ). Malaria treatment Among 38 plants utilized in traditional medicine and cultivated in South Vietnam, Fibraurea tinctoria exhibited the most potent antimalarial properties 61 . Studies have demonstrated that the leaves and stems of Fibraurea tinctoria hinder the growth of various bacterial strains, including Bacillus cereus , Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli 53,62 . Moreover, Fibraurea tinctoria displayed a notable anti-inflammatory effect by reducing mouse paw edema 55 . How did the young orangutan know? How did this orangutan know about the medicinal effect that science has now confirmed of the plant? Luck? Ancient knowledge? Intuition? Copied behaviour? Much more on this in later articles!

THE STUDY TITLE: Active self-treatment of a facial wound with a biologically active plant by a male Sumatran orangutan Abstract Although self-medication in non-human animals is often difficult to document systematically due to the difficulty of predicting its occurrence, there is widespread evidence of such behaviors as whole leaf swallowing, bitter pith chewing, and fur rubbing in African great apes, orangutans, white handed gibbons, and several other species of monkeys in Africa, Central and South America and Madagascar. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one report of active wound treatment in non-human animals, namely in chimpanzees. We observed a male Sumatran orangutan ( Pongo abelii ) who sustained a facial wound. Three days after the injury he selectively ripped off leaves of a liana with the common name Akar Kuning ( Fibraurea tinctoria ), chewed on them, and then repeatedly applied the resulting juice onto the facial wound. As a last step, he fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. Found in tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this and related liana species are known for their analgesic, antipyretic, and diuretic effects and are used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases, such as dysentery, diabetes, and malaria. Previous analyses of plant chemical compounds show the presence of furanoditerpenoids and protoberberine alkaloids, which are known to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antioxidant, and other biological activities of relevance to wound healing. This possibly innovative behavior presents the first systematically documented case of active wound treatment with a plant species know to contain biologically active substances by a wild animal and provides new insights into the origins of human wound care. Introduction In the early 1960s Jane Goodall first described the presence of whole leaves in the feces of chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) at Gombe Stream, Tanzania 1 . By the late 1990s, this behavior, now called whole leaf swallowing, was documented at several African great ape study sites, along with bitter pith chewing, and demonstrated to have therapeutic, anti-parasitic functions 2 . Since then, various forms of self-medication have been observed in wild great apes (e.g., 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ). Some of the most detailed evidence for animal self-medication comes from research in primates (e.g., 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ). Animal self-medication is now divided into five categories 2 , 4 : (1) sick behaviors, such as anorexia; (2) avoidance behaviors, such as avoiding e.g. feces, contaminated food or water; (3) prophylactic behaviors, such as routine consumption of foods with preventive or health maintenance effects; (4) therapeutic behaviors, defined by the ingestion of a small amount of a biologically active or toxic substance with no or little nutritional value for the curative treatment of a disease or its symptoms, and; (5) therapeutic topical application of pharmacologically active plants onto the body for the treatment of external health conditions or placement of such species in the nest as a fumigant or insect repellent 13 . Several of these behaviors can be found in wild apes 2 . While sick and avoidance behavior (category 1 and 2) can be regularly observed in non-human animals (e.g. 14 ), self-medication in the form of ingestion of specific plant parts (prophylactic and therapeutic behavior, category 3 and 4) is widespread, albeit exhibited at low frequencies (e.g., 15 , but see 16 ). So far, leaf swallowing has been reported in chimpanzees ( Pan sp. ; e.g., 7 , 9 , 16 , 17 ), bonobos ( Pan paniscus 3 ), gorillas (e.g. Gorilla beringei graueri 18 ), and in only one Asian ape species, the white-handed gibbon ( Hylobates lar ) 19 . Another study reported the consumption of plant species directly related to the occurrence of parasite infections in individual orangutans ( Pongo sp. ), but not correlated with the plant’s distribution in the environment 20 . Another therapeutic self-medicative behavior seen in chimpanzees is bitter pith chewing of Vernonia amygdalina to treat worm infection 8 , 10 , 13 . Despite the plant’s year-round availability, the behavior is highly seasonal, peaking during the rainy season when worm infections also peak 8 , 13 . Interestingly, as Vernonia amygdalina is not evenly distributed in their home range, the apes often need to actively adapt their usual travel routes to gain access to the plant 13 . Among Bornean orangutans ( Pongo pygmaeus ) there are several reports proposing the intentional ingestion of specific plant species also used in ethnomedicine for their medicinally active properties. In Sabah, Malaysia, a 4- to 5-year-old severely wounded female Bornean orangutan was observed eating ginger leaves and stem (Zingiberaceae) 21 . Ginger is known as a traditional medical plant against inflammation with antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal properties 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 . In 7 years of observation, no other individual, except two flanged males was ever observed feeding on the same ginger species at that study site. The researchers concluded that the juvenile may have attempted to treat itself with these plants. Another study, which interviewed 13 traditional healers from Central Kalimantan, showed that Bornean orangutans feed on the same plant parts from two plant species ( Uncaria gambir Roxb and Pternandra galeata Ridl ), used by traditional healers for treating internal illness, tumors, and haemorrhage 26 . Additionally, they observed a female Bornean orangutan selectively choosing young leaves of Mezzetia sp. , the pulp of Dyera lowii and Ilex cymosa , and leaves of Belang Handipek ( Scolopia macrophylla) 27 . This plant combination is used in ethnomedicine as a prevention against fatigue 27 . Despite these reports, overall, evidence of plant consumption for self-medication in orangutans is still limited. Reports of the topical application of plants or insects to one’s own body (category 5) are found in a limited number of taxa, but the evidence for medicinal benefits remain mostly anecdotal (e.g. 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ). However, there is growing evidence for the application of biologically active plant compounds to the skin in orangutans. At Sabangau peat swamp forest in Central Kalimantan, two adult female and one adolescent female Bornean orangutans were observed chewing leaves of Dracaena cantleyi for three to five minutes and then rubbing the resulting green-white lather onto their arms and legs for up to 35 min 11 . Ten years later, a follow-up study confirmed the same behavior in six additional adult females and one flanged male of the same population (the lather was similarly applied and massaged into the skin for up to 45 min 6 ). The behavior appeared to be intentional as only specific body parts were treated, the behavior was repeated several times until the hair was fully wet and the entire process took a considerable amount of time 6 , 11 . Orangutans were never observed ingesting the leaves 6 . Dracaena cantleyi is a medicinal plant used by indigenous people for several medical treatments including sore muscles, joint or bone pain 6 , pain after a stroke 6 and swelling 11 . Indeed, pharmacological analyses revealed that Dracaena cantleyi inhibits TNFα-induced inflammatory cytokine production thereby acting as an anti-inflammatory agent 6 . There are some brief anecdotal mentions of chimpanzees using leaves (plant species unknown) to wipe blood from their wounds 39 , 40 . Active wound treatment with a substance has only recently been documented for the first time in a great ape species. Chimpanzees of the Rekambo community ( Pan troglodytes troglodytes ) in the Loango National Park, Gabon, were observed applying insects to their own wounds (n = 19) and to the wounds of conspecifics (n = 3) 5 . The five adult males, one adult female, and one juvenile female applied the insects in the same sequence: they caught a dark-colored, winged insect approximately 5 mm in size (unidentified at the time of publication), immobilized it by squeezing it between the lips, then applied the insect to the wound moving it with their mouth or finger, then removed it. The last two steps were usually repeated several times. Further research is needed to investigate the efficiency of this behavior. Active wound treatment has also been described in a captive capuchin monkey, that was observed grooming her vaginal area and four of her own wounds with a sugar-coated tool 41 . However, as the authors noted that the capuchin was used to having her wounds treated with an antibacterial salve topically applied by caregivers. We here report for the first time active wound treatment with a known biologically active plant substance by a male Sumatran orangutan in the wild, and discuss the hypothesis that this may be a form of self-medication to treat a wound and possibly prevent infection and accelerate wound healing. Introduction In the early 1960s Jane Goodall first described the presence of whole leaves in the feces of chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) at Gombe Stream, Tanzania 1 . By the late 1990s, this behavior, now called whole leaf swallowing, was documented at several African great ape study sites, along with bitter pith chewing, and demonstrated to have therapeutic, anti-parasitic functions 2 . Since then, various forms of self-medication have been observed in wild great apes (e.g., 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ). Some of the most detailed evidence for animal self-medication comes from research in primates (e.g., 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ). Animal self-medication is now divided into five categories 2 , 4 : (1) sick behaviors, such as anorexia; (2) avoidance behaviors, such as avoiding e.g. feces, contaminated food or water; (3) prophylactic behaviors, such as routine consumption of foods with preventive or health maintenance effects; (4) therapeutic behaviors, defined by the ingestion of a small amount of a biologically active or toxic substance with no or little nutritional value for the curative treatment of a disease or its symptoms, and; (5) therapeutic topical application of pharmacologically active plants onto the body for the treatment of external health conditions or placement of such species in the nest as a fumigant or insect repellent 13 . Several of these behaviors can be found in wild apes 2 . While sick and avoidance behavior (category 1 and 2) can be regularly observed in non-human animals (e.g. 14 ), self-medication in the form of ingestion of specific plant parts (prophylactic and therapeutic behavior, category 3 and 4) is widespread, albeit exhibited at low frequencies (e.g., 15 , but see 16 ). So far, leaf swallowing has been reported in chimpanzees ( Pan sp. ; e.g., 7 , 9 , 16 , 17 ), bonobos ( Pan paniscus 3 ), gorillas (e.g. Gorilla beringei graueri 18 ), and in only one Asian ape species, the white-handed gibbon ( Hylobates lar ) 19 . Another study reported the consumption of plant species directly related to the occurrence of parasite infections in individual orangutans ( Pongo sp. ), but not correlated with the plant’s distribution in the environment 20 . Another therapeutic self-medicative behavior seen in chimpanzees is bitter pith chewing of Vernonia amygdalina to treat worm infection 8 , 10 , 13 . Despite the plant’s year-round availability, the behavior is highly seasonal, peaking during the rainy season when worm infections also peak 8 , 13 . Interestingly, as Vernonia amygdalina is not evenly distributed in their home range, the apes often need to actively adapt their usual travel routes to gain access to the plant 13 . Among Bornean orangutans ( Pongo pygmaeus ) there are several reports proposing the intentional ingestion of specific plant species also used in ethnomedicine for their medicinally active properties.

We here report for the first time active wound treatment with a known biologically active plant substance by a male Sumatran orangutan in the wild, and discuss the hypothesis that this may be a form of self-medication to treat a wound and possibly prevent infection and accelerate wound healing. Conclusion Taken together, chemical analyzes of the properties of the Fibraurea tinctoria and the orangutan's particular goal-oriented behavior are consistent with the hypothesis that the process of preparing and applying herbal ointments may be a form of self-medication that reduces pain, prevents inflammation, and accelerates wound healing. The present study may thus present the first report of active wound management with a biological active substance in a great ape species and provides new insights into the existence of self-medication in our closest relatives and in the evolutionary origins of wound medication more broadly. As forms of active wound treatment are not just a human universal but can also be found in both African and Asian great apes, it is possible that there exists a common underlying mechanism for the recognition and application of substances with medical or functional properties to wounds and that our last common ancestor already showed similar forms of ointment behavior.

- SCURVY AND PINE TREES
The vitamin C in lemon and oranges (50 mg/100 g) are exceeded in the needles and bark of several conifers... It was believed that a number of conifer trees, known as "Annedda," were responsible for providing a remarkable remedy for scurvy to Jacques Cartier's severely ill crew in 1536. This cure was credited to Vitamin C, extracted from an Iroquois concoction made from the bark and leaves of the "tree of life," now commonly referred to as arborvitae. Examination of the amino acids in these potential "trees of life" indicates that the decoctions prepared in the challenging winter months probably contained significant levels of arginine, proline, and guanidino compounds. The semi-essential arginine, proline and all the essential amino acids, would have provided additional nutritional benefits for the rapid recovery from scurvy by vitamin C when food supply was limited. The value of arginine, especially in the recovery of the critically ill sailors, is postulated as a source of nitric oxide, and the arginine-derived guanidino compounds as controlling factors for the activities of different nitric oxide synthases. This review provides further insights into the use of the candidate "trees of life" by indigenous peoples in eastern Canada. It raises hypotheses on the nutritional and synergistic roles of arginine, its metabolites, and other biofactors complementing the role of vitamin C especially in treating Cartier's critically ill sailors. The recovery from scurvy in Jacques Cartier's crew in 1536 Scurvy is an acute chronic illness caused by a dietary deficiency of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Humans are not able to synthesize vitamin C from glucose because they lack a gluconolactone oxidase [10]. There are two active forms of vitamin C: L-ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is absorbed by the small intestine and requires an energy-dependent active transport system. It is stored in all tissues. Exposure to long periods of cold temperatures can lead to ascorbic-acid insufficiency. The first symptoms of scurvy occur when the total-body pool of vitamin C falls below five grams. The body requires vitamin C to efficiently use carbohydrates, fats, and protein. It binds and neutralizes the tissue-damaging effects of free radicals. It is an essential cofactor for the formation of collagen, the body's major building protein, and is essential to the proper functioning of all internal organs. Scurvy is characterized principally by anemia, hemorrhagic manifestations in the skin (ecchymoses and perifollicular haemorrhage), and in the musculoskeletal system (haemorrhage into periosteum and muscles). The gums start to bleed. Teeth are loosened [24]. With no vitamin C intake, the symptoms of scurvy would occur after one to three months. Unless treated, scurvy is fatal. At Stadaconna (46° 49' N, 71° 13' N) and in November1535, Canada's cold struck with its entire rigor, and ice thickened to two fathoms. In December, over 50 of the Iroquois died from an unknown sickness (scurvy). The sickness began to spread to Cartier's crews in all three of his ships. By mid-February 1536, of the 110 member crews, 8 were already dead and more than 50 past all hope of recovery. Excerpts from Burrage [1, p. 73] reveal that the unknown sickness in Cartier's crew "spread itselfe amongst us after the strangest sort that ever was eyther heard of or seene, insomuch as some did lose all their strength, and could not stand on their feete, then did their legges swel, their sinnowes shrinke as blacke as any cole. Others also had all their skins spotted with spots of blood of a purple colour: then did it ascend up to their ankels, knees, thighes, shoulders, armes and necke: their mouth became stincking, their gummes so rotten, that all the flesh did fall off, even to the rootes of teeth, which did also almost fall out". "Our Captaine seeing this our misery, and that the sicknesse was gone to farre, ordained and commanded, that every one should devoutly prepare himselfe to prayer, and in remembrance of Christ, caused his Image to be set upon a tree, about a flight shot from the fort amidst the yce and snow, giving all men to understand, that on the Sunday following, service should be said there, and that whosoever could goe, sicke or whole, should go thither in Procession, singing the seven Psalmes of David, with other Letanies, praying most heartily that it would please the said our Christ to have compassion upon us ... That day Philip Rougemont...being 22 yeeres olde, and because the sicknesse was to us unknown, our Captaine caused him to be ripped to see if by any meanes possible we might know what it was...he was found to have his heart white, but rotten, and more than a quart of red water about it: his liver was indifferent faire, but his lungs blacke and mortified, his blood was altogither shrunke about the heart, so that when he was opened great quantitie of rotten blood issued out from about his heart...Moreover, because one of his thighs was very blacke without, it was opened, but within it was whole and sound." Scurvy continued to spread until not more than three sound men remained in the ships. None were able to go under the hatches to "draw drink for himselfe, nor for his fellows." At Stadaconna, Cartier encountered the native Domagaia, who "not passing ten or twelve dayes afore, had bene very sike with that disease, and had his knees swolne as bigge as a childe of two yeres old, all his sinews shrunke together, his teeth spoyled, his gummes rotten, and stinking. Our Captaine seeing him whole and sound, was therat marvelous glad, hoping to understand and know of him how he had healed himselfe...He answered, that he had taken the juice and sappe of the leaves of a certain Tree, and therewith had healed himselfe: For it is a singular remedy against that disease." Domagaia "sent two women to fetch some of it, which brought ten or twelve branches of it, and therewithall shewed the way how to use it... to take the barke and leaves of the sayd tree, and boile them togither, then to drinke of the sayd decoction every other day, and to put the dregs of it upon his legs that is sicke: moreover, they told us, that the vertue of that tree was, to heale any other disease: the tree in their language called Ameda or Hanneda..." Other translations refer to the tree as "Annedda", "Anneda" or "Hanneda" [2]. This sickness was treated with a boiled decoction from the bark and leaves of "a tree as big as any oak in France". Cook [25] translates that "The Captain at once ordered a drink to be prepared for the sick men but none of them would taste it. At length one or two thought they would risk a trial. As soon as they had drunk it they felt better, which must clearly be ascribed to miraculous causes; for after drinking it two or three times they recovered health and strength and were cured of all the diseases they had ever had. And some of the sailors who had been suffering for five or six years from the French pox [syphilis] were by this medicine cured completely. When this became known, there was such a press for the medicine that they almost killed each other to have it first; so that in less than eight days a whole tree as large and as tall as any I ever saw was used up, and produced such a result that had all the doctors of Louvain and Montpellier been there, with all the drugs of Alexandria, they could not have done so much in a year as did this tree in eight days; for it benefitted us so much that all who were willing to use it recovered health and strength, thanks be to God." We do not know how much ascorbic acid was lost during the boiling of the decoction and in the recovery of the "dregs", but it is clear that sufficient vitamin C was available to initiate a cure. In today's healthy men, the body is estimated to store 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid. It is used at an average rate of 3% of the existing pool per day [26]. After three months of vitamin C deprivation, the stores become largely depleted. The earliest signs of depletion begin during the first month of deprivation. Bleeding gums are not the most characteristic feature of scurvy and are a late manifestation. Except in the most severe cases, vitamin C would stop spontaneous bleeding within 24 hours and bleeding of the gums would stop in two to three days. Muscle and bone pain would quickly fade [24]. In advanced scurvy another group of symptoms becomes identifiable [15, 24]. They include ocular haemorrhages, loss of secretion of salivary and lachrymal glands, swelling of the parotid and submaxillary glands, loss of hair, femoral neuropathy, oliguria with edema of the lower extremities, psychological disturbances, impaired vascular activity, poor responses to stimuli that normally activate vasomotor adaptive mechanisms, and scorbutic arthritis, which is clinically similar to rheumatoid arthritis with pain, swelling, joint effusions, and limited motion. All of the above would respond completely to therapy with ascorbic acid given the added nutritional benefits of the conditionally and essential amino acids and other biofactors in the decoction. Identities of Annedda and the trees of life Before 1547 and during the reign of François 1er, seeds of Annedda were delivered to the Royal Garden (Jardin du Roi) at Fontainbleau and presented to the King. Apparently seeds were collected from a tree or trees similar to Annedda [2]. In 1553, Belon wrote in the Bulletin Dendrologique that Annedda was growing in the Royal Gardens at Fontainbleau. Nearby was another small tree, a five-needled pine, referred to as the second tree of life. Wood from these trees were used as medicine. In Hickel's translation [27] of Belon's book, we read that "...à cette époque, les seules espèces exotiques introduites étaient l'Arborvitae (Thuya occidentalis) et Pinus strobus, et que, d'autre part l'auteur confond plus ou moins diverses espèces de pins." When Belon visited Turkey, he found a tree similar to the one at Fontainebleau, which was brought from Canada and called "Arbre de Vie". Moore [6] citing the works of Bolle [28] and Annon. [29], who both reexamined Belon's records, proposed that the identity of the Annedda was not eastern white cedar, but a five-needled white pine (Pinus strobus). It is now evident that two trees of life were introduced from North America as exotic species [2, 6]. In 1632, the botanical garden, established in Paris in 1632 by King Louis XIII of France, was intended for the cultivation of medicinal plants "The fate of the pine at Fontainbleau is not known" [6]. Bolle [28]"could not find any further record of eastern white pine growing in Europe until 150 years later when it was introduced into England". In 1632, the botanical garden, established in Paris in 1632 by King Louis XIII of France, was intended for the cultivation of medicinal plants [5]. Landowners and naturalists were engaged in testing the effects of climate upon growing new exotic species arriving in France. A Bridgeman Art Library archive shows a "burgeoning bower" resembling eastern white pine in the botanical garden (Nature 2001, 410, 303). The King's garden survived the French Revolution (1796–1798) and its nurseries were used to provide patriotic 'trees of liberty'. They were planted in front of public buildings. The first trees of liberty were actually maypoles planted by peasants as a symbol of revolt against local lords in the winter of 1790. Today, Annedda is commonly referred to as eastern white cedar or arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis L.). This appellation was based on botanical evaluations, historical documents, naval and folklore medicine, notes of Cartier's contemporaries, and on the estimates of biochemical content of vitamin C [2]. The anti-scorbutic benefits of the candidate trees of life are abundant in the records and reviews of indigenous Maritime medicine [2, 3, 30–33]. Conifers, native along the travel routes of Jacques Cartier, and with known high levels of vitamin C are Picea rubens, Pinus resinosa, Pinus nigra, and Pinus banksiana. In the "Native Trees of Canada", Canada Forest Service Bulletin 1919, No. 61 the botanical names of conifers had popular names. Thuja occidentalis was called cedar, and referred to as white cedar, and arborvitae. Pinus strobus was called white pine, and sometimes referred to as Weymouth pine, pattern pine, eastern white, yellow, and Quebec pine. Picea canadensis was called white spruce, and sometimes northern, skunk, cat spruce, and pine. Pinus banksiana was called jack pine and sometimes grey pine, cypress, juniper, and Banksian pine. Today, the eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) has the largest number of cultivars, and many do not resemble the species type [34]. Mature trees will reach 30 to 40 feet tall with a spread of 15 feet. The upright cultivars are much shorter. The latter would unlikely be "as big as any oak in France". In eastern Canada, white pine was reported to reach a height of 250 feet and a diameter of 6 to 15 feet [35]. Conifer decoctions for the treatment of scurvy Domagaia cured himself with the "the juice and sappe of the leaves of a certain tree". Adult scurvy is now treated with 300–1000 mg of ascorbic acid per day [15]. In clinical dermatology, ascorbic acid is recommended three times a day, 100 mg is given until 4 g is reached, and then 100 mg/d becomes curative in days to weeks [24]. Repletion studies demonstrated recovery from daily doses of only 6.5 [26]. Larger doses gave more rapid improvement and increased ascorbic acid storage in the body. The plasma levels of ascorbic acid attained depended on body weight (dose per kg of body weight) and on whether or not any prior depletion had been adequately repleted [16]. In early explorers, a deficiency of vitamin C repeatedly caused morbidity and death [36, 37]. Teas, brews, and beers, prepared from the needles of spruces and pines, were used to treat the symptoms of scurvy [38, 39]. Scurvy remedies were being made, sold and used under the name of "sapinette"[2]."According to the physician Gardane, in Des maladies des créoles (Paris 1784), this was a decoction of "sapin du Nord", or Picea abies . In Canada sapinette was made from the buds of the "Prussian fir", a name which was used indiscriminately for Abies alba , A. balsamea , and Picea abiesby Cartier. Sapinette was widely used in Canada, but the recipe seems to have come originally from the Baltic coast and sapinette was being used by the Russian navy long before the French took interest in it. The Russians in fact did use fermented pine buds with their fir decoction, though the species here is not specified. But it seems the French used fir, even in Canada" (Spary, personal communication [5]). Spary writes, "The French were experimenting with sapinette on their long-distance voyages during the 1780s, and it was stocked on board the Laperouse expedition vessels"..." sapinette was bought ready-made from London. All things considered, this does not suggest that there was a direct connection between Pinus strobusin particular and the antiscorbutic programme, though it is entirely possible that this species was brought to Paris to be investigated for its virtues in that regard". The British knew of the anti-scorbutic benefits of sapinette and of lemons and oranges in a cure for scurvy [37]. In 1753 scurvy was recognized by the British medical community as directly related to dietary deficiency. Spruce beer was used as an anti-scorbuticum by James Cook in his second Pacific voyages in Western Canada (1772–1775) [40]. Cook obtained this recipe for spruce beer from Joseph Banks who had visited Newfoundland before Cook [41]. The beer was prepared from fresh needles of a spruce tree, which in New Zealand was Dacrydium cupressinum [42]. On Cook's third voyage near Alaska, Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) was used but it was not as acceptable as the brew from Dacrydium. [43]. A similar drink called "Kallebogas" was used in Newfoundland. Variations involved the addition of rum and maple sugar [44]. Vitamin C was first isolated from paprika, chemically identified, and its metabolic role worked out by Albert Szent-Györgyi. He found that vitamin C also required cofactors to function properly. These cofactors are now known to be flavonoids. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937 for his discoveries in biological combustion with special reference to vitamin C and for the catalysis of fumaric acid, an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. These factors, taken together, were probably available in the decoction used to cure scurvy. Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and black spruce (Picea mariana) served as ascorbutica [32, 44]. The indigenous peoples of the Maritime Provinces of Canada used roots, twigs, leaves, and bark, but rarely strobili or seeds in decoctions taken as a cupful in the morning [3]. Teas, prepared by steeping or boiling leaves from conifers, served as refreshing drinks and a tonic of medicinal value [33]. Green tissues offer high moisture content, vitamin C, folic acid, minerals and other biofactors. Roots are a good source of minerals but provide only small amounts of vitamins in a 100-gram portion [32]. The bark was usually collected from the east side of the tree. The selected root or branch ran to the east [3]. The reason was that these collections benefited from having more potency obtained from sunlight. The vitamin C in lemon and oranges (50 mg/100 g) are exceeded in the needles and bark of several conifer spp. The vitamin C in lemon and oranges (50 mg/100 g) are exceeded in the needles and bark of several conifer spp. [33]. Reduced ascorbic acid in 100 g of fresh needles and shoots was reported in Abies balsamea (270 mg), Picea rubens (169 mg), Pinus strobus (32 mg, bark contained 200 mg), Thuja occidentalis (45 mg) [2]. R. B. Thomson at the University of Toronto found a content of 20–80 mg reduced ascorbate in 100 g of white spruce bark [2]. For the treatment of scurvy, spruce (white and black) was considered as a likely candidate for the tree of life based on the ethnobotanical literature. Spruce is frequently recorded as being antiscorbutric and common in Quebec City. White pine was also widely used. The extracts from Cartier's tree of life raised considerable interest as a cure for all diseases. In 1494 King Charles VIII of France had already invaded Italy. Within months, his army collapsed and was routed not by the Italian army but by a mysterious new disease [45]. The disease was spread through sex and killed many of Charles's solders. European physicians were already aware of the root of sarsaparilla (Smilax officinalis) as a tonic, blood purifier, diuretic, and sweat promoter. Cartier's claim for the Iroquois decoction as a cure of all diseases may have been overstated to impress King François 1er (1515–1547). It is unlikely that vitamin C and other components from the trees of life would have cured syphilis in Cartier's crew at Stadaconna. READ MORE & SOURCE
- POWDERED BABY MILK CONTAMINATED
The debate between breastfeeding and using formula has been a contentious issue among parents who prioritize providing the best nutrition for their child. While some parents opt for infant formula due to its convenience, others, particularly mothers who struggle with insufficient breast milk production, are compelled to turn to formula milk. Therefore, discovering that the majority of infant formulas available on the market contain not only one, but FIVE harmful metals is not only concerning but also sheds light on the unnatural and harmful nature of these heavily processed infant products. Research on Infant Formulas Reveals Presence of Heavy Metals in All Samples Conducted in May 2024, the research was a joint effort between two non-profit organizations, GMOScience and Moms Across America.1 Led by Michelle Perro, MD, Zen Honeycutt, and Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., the study sought to identify the existence of harmful metals in various infant formula brands. The researchers examined 40 samples derived from 20 formulas produced by reputable local and global brands like Enfamil, Gerber, and Similac, among others. Various samples were labelled with terms such as "Organic," "Non-GMO," "Grass-fed," and "Hypoallergenic." The majority of the formulas were dairy-based, with only a single soy-based variant. Each formula underwent testing on two separate occasions. The study findings were alarming. Not only did all samples test positive for aluminium and lead, but the researchers also found that:2 Six out of 20 formulas tested positive for all the heavy metals being tested 35% of the samples tested positive for cadmium, 55% were positive for mercury and 57% were positive for arsenic Four samples had mercury levels that were higher than the allowed limit in drinking water by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Cadmium levels in both samples of one formula are nearly twice higher than the allowed amount in drinking water The aluminium levels in a goat's milk baby formula were at 41,000 ppb — this means it was 4,000 to 40,000 times higher than other metals in the formulas tested. It also exceeds the limits set by the FDA for the maximum safety level of aluminium for a preemie Breast Is Best for Both Babies and Mothers The increasing understanding of the scientific basis for the "breast is best" campaign has resulted in a rise in breastfeeding rates in the United States. In 1971, only 24% of mothers started breastfeeding after giving birth; by 2016, this figure had increased to 81%. Despite this progress, a study indicates that 60% of mothers still discontinue breastfeeding earlier than intended. Discontinuing breastfeeding prematurely could mean that your child misses out on numerous health advantages, many of which persist well into adulthood. From a nutritional perspective, there is clear consensus that breast milk is the best source of nutrition for newborns and young infants. Furthermore, breastfeeding has been linked to a reduced risk of overweight and obesity. Exclusive breastfeeding not only delays the introduction of foods that could contribute to weight gain but also promotes a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for lifelong well-being. According to the Global Breastfeeding Collective, these benefits underscore the importance of continued breastfeeding. “Breastfeeding helps populate the child’s body with ‘good’ bacteria from his or her mother, which provide protection against excessive weight gain. Breastmilk contains hormones and other biological factors involved in the regulation of food intake that may help shape the long-term physiological processes responsible for maintaining energy balance. Feeding of infant formula by bottle may interfere with a child’s recognition of satiety and thus lead to overeating.” Adults who were breastfed during infancy were also found to have a 26% lower risk of becoming overweight or obese, as well as a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease Mothers who breastfed also experienced profound benefits, such as: Make Your Own Infant Formula at Home READ MORE https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2024/06/17/infant-formulas-contain-heavy-metals.aspx?
- IS YARROW THE ACHILLES' HEEL OF ASPIRIN?
I've been having fun. It's yarrow season. Since we have learnt of the undisclosed and most probably illegal ingredients in many pharmaceuticals. I have been looking for a replacement for the seemingly innocent aspirin. Aspirin has three main uses. Pain killing Blood thinning Anti-inflammatory in high doses Willow & The Natural Origin of Aspirin As many people know aspirin although now manmade follows in the footsteps of willow bark. For centuries, willow bark, derived from various types of willow trees, has been utilized as a pain reliever. Salicin is the active component found in the medication produced from willow bark. The salicin in willow bark converts to salicylic acid. Willow's effectiveness may also be due to the accompanying flavonoids and plant particles. Some individuals choose to chew on unprocessed willow bark because of this. Others make tea. Remedies derived from the willow tree have been used for pain management since the time of the Sumerians around 4000 years ago. Hippocrates also utilized it for pain and fever relief, including using tea made from it during childbirth. In 1763, Reverend Edward Stone conducted a groundbreaking clinical trial studying the effects of willow bark powder in treating fever. A century later, the effects of this powder were investigated for treating acute rheumatism. In 1828, Professor Johann Buchner identified salicin, the Latin term for willow, while Henri Leroux isolated it in a crystalline form in 1829 for treating rheumatism. Heyden Chemical Company was the first to mass-produce salicylic acid commercially in the 1800s. It was not until 1899 that Bayer registered and marketed a modified version called acetylsalicylic acid under the trade name aspirin. Yarrow This spring, I've been sitting in meadows looking at the natural fauna of the United Kingdom wondering at the beauty of nature. I had been told Yarrow was great for women but was curious and I've delved further. These are the known active compounds. Acetate Borneol Coumarin Caryophyllene Chamazulene Cineole Eugenol Farnesene Limonene Myrcene Sabinene Salicylic acid Thujone Tricyclene I had not managed to access natural wild willow bark so jumped when I saw Salicylic acid as this is the key precursor. I looked up the known benefits of Yarrow. diuretic diaphoretic menstrual support balance women's hormones anti-thrombotic fever reduction allergies anxiety Antiseptic IBS antibacterial sedative anti-depression hypotensive - High blood pressure Wounds hypoglycemic astringent anti-inflammatory anti-fungal emmenagogue tonic a bitter ...and pain-killing. HISTORY Yarrow AKA Soldiers woundwort Yarrow, also called Soldier’s Woundwort, has a long history of use spanning thousands of years. This herb holds significance on the battlefield, serving as a crucial plant for soldiers, warriors, healers, and medics alike. Yarrow was commonly grown in monastic gardens during the Middle Ages. Hildegard of Bingen, a well-known herbalist and nun, frequently suggested yarrow as a natural remedy. In Western folk medicine, yarrow has been widely employed for healing cuts, bruises, bleeding, and various other ailments, establishing its reputation as a versatile medicinal herb. Achilles Yarrow has a fascinating legend dating back to the era of gods and goddesses. According to the tale, Achilles (part mortal, part god) employed Yarrow during the battle of Troy to staunch his soldiers' wounds by using poultices made from this herb. It is believed that his success as a warrior was attributed to the rapid recovery of his soldiers from their battle wounds. This is why the Latin name for the herb is Achillia millefolium Where to find I'm picking this wild and have transplanted a few to now grow at home. Identify it by the leaves not the flowers. I've found it amongst the 'lawns' of many parks competing with the grass but maybe producing an even softer texture underfoot. In these parks at the side where there is no mowing, it's then easy to find the taller plants that are just coming to flower late June. The leaves are small soft and fern-like. WARNING - The flowers are easily confused and also look like Hemlock which is deadly, so don't pick or use unless you are 100% sure. Google lens works as a free way to identify plants but BE CAREFUL! . A gentle reminder that nothing here, or any of our other articles, constitutes as medical advice.

- WHAT STARTED IN DEC 2019?
You got it... C... C... C... Cor... Coro ... Corona... Yes, Coronal Mass Ejections. "...The Sun has entered the most active period of its solar cycle, with NASA explaining in a post on X: ‘The Sun’s activity waxes and wanes over a 11-year period known as the solar cycle. Solar cycle 25 began in December 2019 and is now approaching solar maximum – a period when eruptions like this one become more common.’ Scientists expect this cycle to reach its peak between late 2024 and early 2025...." What is a solar flare? Solar flares are powerful bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Affelia Wibisono, an astronomer at Royal Observatory Greenwich, told Metro: ‘Solar flares appear as localised bright flashes of light that can last for minutes and even hours. But solar flares don’t just emit visible light – they also release radiation from the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet light and X-rays. ‘These emissions of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light and so reach the Earth about eight minutes after they have left the Sun.’ Meanwhile, CMEs can take anywhere between 15 hours and several days to reach Earth. When intense enough, solar flares can disrupt radio communications, electric power grids and navigation signals, and can pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number refers to its strength. Last week’s solar flares wreaked havoc on farmers in the US by interfering with GPS systems. Nebraska-based farmer Kevin Kenney told 404 Media: ‘All the tractors are sitting at the ends of the field right now shut down because of the solar storm.’ ‘No GPS,’ he added. ‘We’re right in the middle of corn planting.’
- STUDY CONFIRMS FLOURIDE DANGERS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN
As the science continues to unfold, it's clear that a precautionary approach to prenatal fluoride exposure is warranted. Pregnant women should be informed about potential risks and empowered to reduce their exposures through filtered water, fluoride-free toothpastes, and avoiding high-fluoride foods like tea. Policymakers must also reevaluate current fluoridation practices in light of the evolving evidence, prioritizing the safety of our most vulnerable populations. Written By: GreenMedInfo Research Group A groundbreaking study published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has sent shockwaves through the public health community, providing damning evidence that prenatal exposure to fluoride - long added to public water supplies for dental health - may come at a previously unrecognized cost: harming fetal brain development and leading to neurobehavioral problems in children. In a cohort study of 229 mother-child pairs, researchers found that higher levels of fluoride exposure during pregnancy were significantly associated with increased neurobehavioral problems in children by age 3.1 For each 0.68 mg/L increase in maternal urinary fluoride levels, children had nearly double the odds of total neurobehavioral issues reaching the borderline clinical or clinical range.2 Specifically, higher prenatal fluoride levels were tied to a 2.29-point increase in internalizing problem scores, including emotional reactivity, anxiety, withdrawal, and somatic complaints, as well as a 2.14-point increase in total neurobehavioral problem scores.3 Children of mothers with greater fluoride exposure were also rated higher on symptoms related to Autism Spectrum Disorder. As the authors note, these effect sizes are concerning given the relatively low fluoride levels in the study sample, which are typical for fluoridated areas in the US.4 The JAMA findings add to a growing body of evidence from Canada, Mexico, and other countries linking higher prenatal fluoride exposure to adverse cognitive and behavioral outcomes, including lower IQ scores.5 While fluoride's developmental neurotoxicity is well-established at high levels, recent studies suggest risks may also exist at lower exposures from fluoridated water, underscoring the need for a precautionary approach during the vulnerable prenatal period. These latest neurodevelopmental concerns join an extensive body of research in the GreenMedInfo.com database revealing fluoride's little-recognized dark side. With over 300 studies, the database links fluoride to more than 100 adverse health effects, from hypothyroidism6 and immune dysfunction7 to skeletal fluorosis8 and, most troublingly, neurotoxicity.9 Animal and cellular studies provide clues to the mechanisms behind fluoride's harmful neurodevelopmental impacts, including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, disrupted neurotransmitter signaling, and altered thyroid function - all of which can derail healthy brain development.10 Coupled with the vulnerability of the developing brain, fluoride's ability to cross the placenta and accumulate in fetal tissue raises a red flag for prenatal exposures.11 In light of the evidence, the JAMA study authors conclude that "there may be a need to establish recommendations for limiting fluoride exposure during the prenatal period," echoing previous calls from researchers and health advocates. While fluoride's role in preventing tooth decay is well-established, a one-size-fits-all approach via community water fluoridation is increasingly seen as outdated given the availability of topical fluoride products and rising concerns about unintended impacts, especially for pregnant women and young children. As the science continues to unfold, it's clear that a precautionary approach to prenatal fluoride exposure is warranted. Pregnant women should be informed about potential risks and empowered to reduce their exposures through filtered water, fluoride-free toothpastes, and avoiding high-fluoride foods like tea. Policymakers must also reevaluate current fluoridation practices in light of the evolving evidence, prioritizing the safety of our most vulnerable populations. The JAMA study is a clarion call for greater research, oversight, and public education around the little-known risks of prenatal fluoride exposure. With the stakes for healthy fetal development so high, it's time to rethink our indiscriminate fluoridation practices and put the wellbeing of pregnant women and their children first. The science sounds a clear warning: in the delicate dance of fetal brain development, fluoride may do far more harm than good.

A simple technique that does not take more than a minute but is quite efficient, as we have been able to verify in our research through optical microscopy observation of the resulting material. After consulting with professionals in this sector, we publish a list that will go “in crescendo” throughout our country, as their level of CONSCIOUSNESS is acquired based on the communications we establish with them. In the attached image you can search for the clinic that best suits your place of residence. Said clinic would be willing to perform the MAGNETO-THERMAL CLEANING TECHNIQUE without any type of objection. The list shows all its identifying data (name, address and telephone number). Our advice is to call beforehand and clarify all kinds of doubts. In some specific cases (for now) they do not do the technique, but they allow you. can do it. Although the list is still short, it is a starting point in which we will quickly add clinics in different parts of the country.

- MAGNETISM, HEADPHONES, GRAPHENE & DR T'S 2021 HYPOTHESIS
The Children's Health Defence team have written an important article on why children should not wear ear pods which we have republished here. The article concentrates on the EMF and RF dangers of using AirPods due to Bluetooth connectivity. At number 5 on the CHD list of reasons, they mention the issue of magnetic fields being an issue. Airpods not only have small magnets in them for the mini-speakers, but many have additional powerful neodymium magnets designed for them to 'clip easily together'. In 2021, a boy 15 years old who had seen the vaccine-induced magnetism first-hand, alerted us to the strong magnets in his AirPods and asked what would happen to someone magnetised if they wore such airpods with these powerful magnets on either side of the brain.. Dr T formed a critical hypothesis that such agents would draw any magnetised nano-particles to the centre of the brain that is the critical spinal cortex. The importance of this theory and the possible ensuing damage were clearly detailed in her key statement to Not On The Beeb which went viral worldwide with over a million views and was even translated into Spanish. In 2024, Considering we now know graphene has been found in most pharmaceutical products, mostly notably in dental anaesthetics, watching this video and taking onboard the key message of Dr T's warning is as important now, as it was then.

- 10 REASONS YOUR KIDS SHOULDN’T USE AIRPODS
Wireless earbuds like AirPods use Bluetooth technology, which emits radiofrequency radiation near the head and body for prolonged periods. Experts caution that children and teenagers, due to their thinner skulls and more absorbent brain tissue, are especially vulnerable to health risks, including brain cancer, neurological damage and hearing loss. BY CHILDREN'S HEALTH DEFENSE TEAM 1. AirPods emit RF radiation near your head and body. AirPods utilize Bluetooth wireless technology, which means they emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation near your head and body for prolonged periods, increasing your risk for serious health issues, including cancer and neurological, reproductive and DNA damage. Experts say: “My concern for AirPods is that their placement in the ear canal exposes tissues in the head to relatively high levels of radio-frequency radiation.” 2. AirPods pose a greater health risk to young people. Children and teenagers absorb more RF radiation than adults because they have more absorbent brain tissue, thinner skulls and smaller heads, making them especially vulnerable to the health risks of AirPod use. 3. AirPods increase your risk of brain cancer. The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies RF radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” based on an increased risk of brain cancer associated with RF radiation exposure. 4. AirPods open your blood-brain barrier. Exposure to low-intensity RF radiation (like Bluetooth) has been shown to open the blood-brain barrier, a layer of brain cells designed to prevent toxins from reaching the brain, which may lead to brain cancer and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. 5. AirPods send magnetic fields right through your brain. The left and right AirPods communicate wirelessly via a magnetic induction field, continuously sending artificial electromagnetic energy back and forth right through your brain. 6. You’re conducting a health experiment on yourself. AirPods have not undergone safety testing on humans. AirPods were introduced in 2016, less than a decade ago, so the long-term effects of prolonged use remain unknown. Public health experts say that if you use AirPods or other wireless headphones, “You’re conducting a health experiment on yourself.” 7. AirPods increase your risk of hearing loss. One in five teens will experience some form of hearing loss, which experts believe is partly due to the increased use of headphones. 8. AirPods interfere with medical devices. AirPods and their charging cases contain magnets and radios that emit electromagnetic fields that can interfere with medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators. 9. AirPods could soon track your brainwave activity. Wearable devices such as headphones have sensors that can pick up your brainwave activity, including your emotional states, the faces of people around you and even the PIN for your bank account. Technology experts admit that if implemented poorly, wireless headphones (like AirPods) could become “the most oppressive technology” ever introduced on a wide scale. 10. Safer alternatives are readily available. Air Tube headphones are a safer alternative to AirPods and other wireless and wired headphones. Unlike traditional headphones that transmit audio signals directly through wires or Bluetooth connections, air tube headphones use hollow tubes to transmit sound from the audio source to the earpieces, reducing overall electromagnetic field exposure from the device. With Atmosure's Anti-Radiation Air Tube Earphones experience the following benefits: Up to 99% EMF protection for your brain Extra anti-EMF features such as no loudspeaker and magnets in the earbud, dual sonic concentrator, and shielded wire that other air tube earphones may not offer Adjustable earbuds Exceptional crystal-clear stereo sound - great for calls and music listening!

Have you seen this study where Solar flares are linked to Pandemics? Have you read the Invisible Rainbow? Here are quick read summaries in multiple languages c/o Claire. Could symptoms that were labelled as being due to the coronavirus have been due to Coronal Mass Ejections? Were the symptoms then amplified by the use of man-made EMFs mimicking the natural in influenza-creating frequencies? Was the clue lying right there in plain sight the whole time? It was never a secret that these last few years were a period of the solar maximum where these CMEs would be expected. Yep, I think the sun's rays have got to me... time for some after-solar-exposure cream, and some sensible evening reading...

Then tick all your symptoms on the list below. (these embedded polls are run by new software that are in beta test mode meaning not woking perfectly! Please click anyway as I can see the results even if you can't yet. I will publish them later) PLEASE SCROLL TO SEE ALL THE SYMPTOMS! Why am I asking? Astrologers and scientists have long noticed the effect of the celestial masses above us on the planet Earth, most notably, connecting the moon to our tides, where whole oceans shift in height, depending upon the position of the moon. The connection between solar flares and human health on Earth was also made many hundreds of years ago, when astrologers noticed that solar flares coincided with epidemics of illness on Earth. They were so sure of the connection, that the illness was named influenza, meaning 'Influence of the stars.' In 2001, Canadian astronomer Ken Tapping showed that the influenza pandemics over the previous three centuries correlated with peaks in solar magnetic activity, on an 11-year cycle. If any of you have missed it, The mighty door stopper of tome called The Invisible Rainbow is what I have called book of the century for a reason. The book is available on Amazon and leads us down a rabbit hole dispelling one of the greatest myths of the last 150 years. The book details how outbreaks of influenza spread over enormous areas in just a few days – a fact that is difficult to explain by contagion from one person to another. Also, how numerous experiments seeking to prove direct contagion through close contact, droplets of mucus or other processes have proved fruitless. From 1933 to the present day, virologists have been unable to present any experimental study proving that influenza spreads through normal contact between people. All attempts to do so have met with failure. The book is full of such stories. The information within the book would cause any rational person to dismiss the whole concept of viral contagion, which in turn would undermine the C19 lockdowns and make a mockery of the WHO's pumped-up Pandemic treaty, demasking it as a bare-faced attempt to gain control over the world's independent governments. Yes, it is Not On The Beeb's book of the century for a reason :) Influenza was called 'Influence of the stars' and not "Influe-da-block-next-door' or 'Influence of your ill neighbour" for a reason, that now seems forgotten. So why am I asking how are you feeling today on the 6th May 2024? This article was published this morning... Powerful Flares Just Erupted on The Sun, And Their Effects Are Lashing Earth SPACE 06 May 2024 By MICHELLE STARR FOR SCIENCE ALERT The X1.6 flare that took place on 3 May, just days before two more flares erupted. (NASA SDO) Some of the most powerful flares our Sun can muster have just erupted, each directed in such a way to have a noticeable effect here on Earth. On 5 May 2024, an X1.3 flare and an X1.2 flare erupted from active sunspot cluster AR 3663, at 0601 and 1154 UTC, respectively, according to the NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. Each flare produced a radio blackout here on Earth, and we may see ongoing effects, if there were accompanying coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that hurled charged particles in our direction. That's not a certainty; the UK Met Office notes that no obvious Earth-directed CMEs were observed. However, as the coronagraph technology used to see CMEs is currently either unavailable or limited, there may very well have been a CME that we didn't catch sight of. At time of writing, there are nine sunspot clusters, or regions, on the side of the Sun facing Earth, with more than 150 sunspots between them. AR 3663, however, appears to be the most active. It appeared on 30 April and has to date emitted 14 M-class flares and 3 X-class flares – the second most and most powerful flares the Sun can produce. Scientists predict that more M-class flares will emerge from the region, and maybe another X-class or two, before it rotates to the far side of the Sun, away from Earth. Active region 3663. (NASA SDO) Solar flares are spectacular eruptions of plasma on the surface of the Sun, powered by the snapping and reconnecting of magnetic field lines over sunspots – regions where the solar magnetic field is temporarily stronger. The flashes of X-ray and ultraviolet light associated with these explosions can lash Earth's ionosphere on the sunlit side, causing temporary radio blackouts. Sometimes, a solar flare is accompanied by a CME. This is a huge release of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun, spewed out into space. These eruptions sometimes hit Earth, although they take a bit longer to get here, since plasma travels somewhat slower than light. When they do arrive, however, the effects – known as a geomagnetic storm – are significantly more profound. When the CME reaches Earth, it smacks into the planet's magnetosphere; this produces electrical currents that can flow through the power grids, causing fluctuations and blackouts. Currents generated in low-Earth orbit can affect satellites, requiring course corrections, and radio and navigation signals can be affected. The best part, though, is the aurora. The interaction between solar particles, Earth's magnetosphere, and Earth's atmosphere creates an ethereal glow in the night sky around the poles (during the day, too; you just can't see it because sunlight is too bright). The auroras are caused by Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) Currently, there are no geomagnetic storms predicted for the two flares of 5 May, but there are geomagnetic storms just about to hit Earth from a previous solar flare. On May 3, AR 3663 spat out an X1.6 flare, and a CME is expected to generate a moderate geomagnetic storm on May 6, including power grid fluctuations, satellite drag, and fading radio signals at high latitudes. Aurora, the NOAA also notes, "may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state." Because AR 3663 is now rotating away from Earth, any more eruptions in the days to come are likely to have a much smaller effect, even for X-class flares. But not to worry – we're currently right in the swing of the peak of the Sun's 11-year activity cycle. No doubt more solar shenanigans loom for the months ahead.

- C19 - THE GREATEST ILLUSSION OF ALL TIME?
The question: Imagine you are a bank robber facing Christmas with no money to buy presents for your family. You gather together your favourite villains and low behold, they also don't have enough money for the great upcoming festive season. The solution is quickly agreed by the whole gang. It's time to do another bank job. The target is quickly decided, since an insider at a local London bank has leaked that there are a couple of deliveries of gold bars expected, secured in a super strong armoured van. Stealing the van is comparatively easy. The gang know they have the explosives and know-how to open the van, but the catch is, they have to get the gold out of the van within 30 minutes and must blow the doors off in central London. There are only two times on two dates in early November that the job can be done before Christmas The two dates are. 8pm on the 5th of November 11am on the 11th of November? Which date should the gang choose to 'blow the bloody doors off'? (Answer at the end of this article.) Watch Michael Caine in the original Italian job The art of illusion. Many tricks are used when creating an illusion, the most common of all is distraction. Magician waves a white handkerchief, so all eyes are focused on that hand, whilst his other hand, discreetly manoeuvres, whatever he needs to do. In Northern Ireland during the troubles, the British intelligence forces, when moving in to kidnap a suspect, they knew the locals were on the side of their freedom fighters. So to disarm the many watching eyes, they employed an apparent joyrider to circle the town at high-speed, so that all the locals will be focusing on the speeding car, not on the 'strangers; stealthily enclosing on their prey. The help of a seemingly innocent third party is a brilliant strategy, as few expect collaboration and collusion. i.e who would connect a joy rider to military intelligence? Watch this trick - collaboration and collusion The essence of creating a trick The real power of an illusionist is knowing or understanding something that the observer does not. Knowledge is the ultimate power. Ignorance is the ultimate handicap. How one bit of knowledge tuned me into a magician. Probably the greatest trick that I ever pulled off was when I was a child. Each day after school, us kids would sit down in front of the the children's TV hour before the main news for adults steered the television back into adult territory. With myself being the eldest, I wanted to watch something different to my younger brother and sister. As you can imagine, the fights ensued. The game became, 'who will get out their seat and run over to the TV set to switch over the channel' the most. Outnumbered 2-to-1, the majority gained control. Their perseverance won. I was soon frustrated and bored by the endless repetition that ground me down into submission. would give up trying to watch my porgamme, and go and do something different instead. This was until I overheard a conversation. A Friend of my mother's was explaining that his new TV was useless to him. The switches didn't work. After much investigation, it turned out that the TV was fine, ithe blame was pointed at the man;'s fingers. In the early 80s, some switches were used on electrical devices that were made of three stripes. 2 stripes of silver metal either side of a black line in the middle. The switches were designed to be sensitive to the moisture on the skin, creating a connection between the two pieces of metal activating the switch. Through this, the man discovered he suffered from 'dry fingers', so was completely unable to change the channels. I noticed our TV was the same and started to experiment. The next time we came back from school. I switched on my favourite channel and as usual within seconds my brother, my sister ran over to the TV and changed it back.. This time, as I wet to change my channel I chanted a made-up magic ritaul, placing my pre-licked finger om the button corresponding to my channel, leaving moisture between the two metal strips, To my utter delight, as my younger siblings ran over to switch to their favourite show, their channel would appear on the TV, but the very second they took their finger off, since my switch was still damp, the switch would. deactivated and my channel would come back on. In maddening frustartion they both stabbed at their channels, I sat back in the sofa, waving my hand at the TV saying 'abracadabra' with each dramatic swirl of my hand as the TV flicked back ro my programme. This time, my sister and brother got confused, fed up and bored and left me to watch in peace. I had tears streaming down my face then, as some friends know, even now as I retell the story, I can barely get the words out,. Tickled pink then, tickled pink now. How one bit of unknown knowledge tuned me into a magician and partly why I have come to realise that if I had the power, I'd make chemistry, biology, physics and economics mandatory at school until sixteen alongside maths and english. This is a copy of a post I made on the Not On The Beeb telegram channel earlier this week. Thought for the day 'Trust the experts'... We've been trained to accept dominance. I think we now have clear proof that as Plato said about politics, his truth applies to science... "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." His famous quote translates into science education as "the penalty for refusing to participate in, and understand science and specifically biology and medicine, is that you end up living under the mistakes of inferior less enquiring, less critical minds...". which in blunt terms means handing over important decisions to sheep-like follow-the majority thinking, can have dire (if not fatal) consequences. Trickery is of course also used by the government and in warfare. The CIA in the Philippines famously tricked their enemy into believing they were under attack by vampires. "The insurgents gathered around the body. On the ground lay one of their men, dead and ghostly white. They expected to find bullet wounds. Instead, closer inspection revealed he had two small puncture marks in his neck. In the night, something had taken him, sunk its pointed teeth in, and drained him of every ounce of his blood. Some sort of creature killed their comrade. Their thoughts turned to the aswang, a vampire-like entity that had persisted in folklore for centuries. And then another fear began brewing: It would likely return for others. "...The aswang became crucial during one key operation. Lansdale wanted a group of Philippine forces redirected from a small area, but there was fear a local Huk installation of up to 300 soldiers would lay siege to the spot once they left and potentially kill American sympathizers. In order to drive the Huks out, Lansdale had his men begin to spread rumors that the aswang was nearby. They could not, of course, have any direct contact with the Huks, so the story was seeded through villagers, who had an open line of communication with the fighters. A few days later, when Landsdale felt the rumor had reached the Huks, soldiers tracked a small squad on one of their known trails. The Americans grabbed the last man in the patrol, killed him, and punctured two holes in his neck. The man was then hung upside-down so his blood would drain. The body was left for the Huks to discover, at which point they had some cause to believe the man had been attacked by the aswang. They quickly fled the territory, just as Lansdale had anticipated..." read more here: https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/cia-philippines-vampire-attack The answer In the UK on November 5th at 8 pm fireworks fill the sky as the nation celebrates a failed attempt by Guy Fawkes to blow up the government. At 11 am on the 11th of November, the nation falls silent for a minute as the people remember their war dead. So, the best date and time to blow the doors off a van would be when fireworks fill the sky, right? So here is the real question. If you were a large organisation, WHO I'd never dare mention as it seems they want to be the one world government, WHO was funded and controlled by big business WHO would make eye-watering profits from selling a cure to a pandemic (fake or real), when would you 'blow the doors off'?

- GBH - 'GRAPHENE-BASED HYDROGELS' OR GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM?
Considering events over the last few years, the reason for re-posting the below article is clear. The main question remains simple. Have graphene-based hydrogels been used in the C19 vaccination programme? The secondary questions are less simple: Are the jabbed public now suffering high levels of graphene oxide making them more susceptible to EMFs and radiation? Are the hydrogels malfunctioning and causing blood clots? The below 'copy and pasted' taster-article is for a key study (hiding behind a copyright wall) from Science Direct. We are republishing the taster-article as the information is of importance for the public's information and well-being. Beyond traditional hydrogels: The emergence of graphene oxide-based hydrogels in drug delivery Abstract Hydrogel applications in various medical fields especially in drug delivery have been widely investigated in the last few years. Introduction of biopolymers in the production of hydrogels leads to develop biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-immunogenic drug carriers. However, possessing such remarkable properties the role of hydrogels is still limited in drug delivery because of the factors such as insufficient loading capacity particularly for hydrophobic drugs, poor mechanical strength, low homogeneity, and inadequate response to stimuli. Hence to address such shortcomings the two-dimensional (2-D) carbon-based nanomaterial, graphene holding various significant properties has been introduced to this three-dimensional (3-D) structure for their more prominent performance in drug delivery. This 2-D and 3-D combination made researchers to develop required features to the already existed traditional polymer hydrogels. Graphene and its derivatives exploited the practical applications of conventional hydrogels by acting as gelator to self-assembled graphene-based hydrogels (GBH) as well as a filler to blend with small and macromolecules to produce multifunctional GBH. Herein the progress with GBH in various field focusing their role in drug delivery as a nanocarrier has been empathetically revealed. Amid the limitations and factors affecting the performance of graphene and hydrogels along with their properties and methods of preparations have also summarized. Further, the development and challenges of GBH have correspondingly prospected. Introduction Nanomedicine is defined as a branch of medicines based on nanotechnology - that deals with the development and manipulation of materials at 1–100 nm for the diagnoses, prevention, monitoring, imaging, treatment of diseases and also to regenerate the biological system [1,2]. Nanomedicine proved a great potential for therapies of several disease states and presented many ground-breaking discoveries in past. Recent advances in nanomedicine brought an evolution in pharmaceutical and medicinal fields and became well esteemed at the commercial level around the world [3,4]. Over the last few decades, US FDA has approved about 100 nano-medicines which shows immense role of nanotechnology in medical field [5]. Several studies revealed that the strategies based on nanotechnology for drug delivery led to better absorption and biodistribution of drug in a controlled manner with fewer side effects along with precise targeting [6]. The basic properties of systems used for delivery of drugs which can be tailored at nanoscale level through monitoring controlling factor have been shown in Fig. 1. There are several traditional routes for delivery of drugs such as oral, trans-dermal, intra-nasal, intra--venous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, pulmonary, buccal & rectal [7]. After administering into the body the drug has to face various types of biological barriers such as immune system, biological hydrogels such as mucus, epithelial cell barrier and bloodstream to act at the site of action [8,9]. These conventional strategies for transporting the drug to site of action have several types of limitations such as instability, toxic, narrow range therapeutic range, and solubility problems [10]. To address the short comings of conventional approaches various nanomaterial incorporated drug delivery systems have been successfully designed. The current findings in this direction illustrate some promising ways in which nanomaterials as drug carriers can assist in navigating the biological barriers [11]. Their smaller size, greater area of surface and capability to interface to cells/tissues are remarkable features which are responsible for their demand in biomedical applications [[12], [13], [14]]. In general, nanoparticles are the structures having size range between 1 and 100 nm and over past few decayed they are playing marvelous roles at the frontiers of nanomedicine covering drug delivery, tissue engineering, microfluidics, biosensors, etc. [15,16]. Among these liposomes and micelles were 1st generation of systems having nanoparticles which got FDA approval. These systems are capable of holding NPs (inorganic nanoparticles) such as nano-particles of gold/magnetic and results in increasing utilization of inorganic nanomaterials for several therapeutic purposes [15,17]. Both organic and inorganic nanomaterials played a vital role in various fields and in case of medicinal application, organic NPs are considered suitable agents as they offer great biodegradability and biocompatibility characteristics, but in comparison to inorganic NPs they show lesser stability in the environment [6,18]. During recent decades, drug delivery formulations are designed by using natural biopolymers as raw materials due to their desirable and exclusive properties like non-toxicity, environmental sensitivity, renewability, bio-compatibility, and biodegradability. Chitosan, sodium alginate, starch, guar gum, and konjac glucomannan are examples of biopolymers but these biopolymers are associated with several shortcomings like delicate mechanical properties and free release of drugs. In this way, by using natural biopolymer as drug carriers, the adverse effects of drug therapy are rare to avoid. These drawbacks are basically due to the poor bonding between drugs and biopolymers or due to rapid breakdown of biopolymer carriers throughout the drug release process [19]. Additionally, sustained release profile of drugs can be achieved by using biodegradable polymers and encapsulating drug within polymer, but sometimes due to availability of the limited number of binding fictional sites, drugs are not capable to attach through the polymer. Thus, it is needed to improve further drug therapeutic action. Hence to evade such difficulty, the requirement of developing or discovering more efficient drug carriers is needed [20]. Various attempts have been made by numerous researchers to discover new carrier structure for targeting and for achieving expected control drug release profile including various organic and inorganic nanoparticles using proniosomes, silica nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, alginate beads, hydrophilic colloids, hydrogels, effervescent floating tablet, microspheres and lipid solid dispersion, transdermal patches etc. [[21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28]]. Several nanomaterials categorized as organic and inorganic used as drug carrier are shown in Fig. 2 and a brief description of the same is given in Table 1. Nowadays, the preparation of composite of novel nanomaterial/biopolymer as controlled drug delivery vehicles have become more popular due to their extraordinary structure and properties since it was known that the properties of biopolymer vehicles can be improved by using methods like mixing with other polymers and grafting with monomers [19,20]. Till to date various nanocomposites exploiting graphene & its derivatives have been designed by researchers having wide spectrum of uses. These nanocomposites of graphene are broadly categorized into two types i.e., first are those nanocomposites which are formed due encapsulation of nanoparticles (NPs) within graphene; and second, are those which creates nanoparticles (NPs) and are decorated over the graphene sheet. A variety of derivatives of graphene viz. graphene oxide (GO) along with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for growth of various sorts of NPs [29,30] have been used for formation of nano-composites. Hydrogel possessing tremendous advantages are still adhere with some major limitations, so to address such shortcomings this (graphene) carbon-based nanomaterial has been introduced by the researchers. Through this review we aimed to provide an up-to date overview of the research on graphene derivative based hydrogel, to cover a diverse range of perspective or emerging trends in this direction. The studies which could impart significantly impact on further research with robust outcomings have been taken into account. Section snippets Bio-medical applications of graphene-based nanomaterial The characteristic of a novel carrier includes biocompatibility, drug binding sites, nontoxic nature, safer elimination, excellent drug solubility and specificity for site [19]. The current innovation of GO has gained great consideration of the researchers in current years, owing to its potentiality of providing most of the above mentioned individuality as a carrier for delivery of drugs [49]. GO, possesses a honeycomb 2D crystal lattice having a solo coating of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms. Due Biocompatibility and toxicity of graphene oxide GO has been widely employed for many different biomedical purposes; however, there has been discussion over its toxicity and biocompatibility, and an exact conclusion has not yet been found. Moreover, the dosage, functionalization, synthesis process, and experimental design seem to have a significant impact on its toxicity and biocompatibility [67,68]. Lu et al. reported that the lipid bilayer of Escherichia coli is physically disrupted by GO nanosheets. In a similar manner depending on the Graphene oxide as a nanocarrier The properties required to become an ideal carrier for drug release were shown by GO, in comparison with them and thus it can be a possible option to the existing drug carriers for their organized release. The novel functional monohybrids can be designed by chemical modification of graphene that could play an essential purpose in delivery of drugs and may be valid in many other biomedical fields too, for example, tissue engineering and biosensing, cancer therapies, imaging, etc. [76]. Goenka et Hydrogels Treatment with traditional drugs involves repeated dosing of a drug that has been formulated in a manner to ensure its stability, bioavailability, and activity. The conventional methods for formulation of majority of therapeutic agents are relatively efficient but have some problems like instability, toxic, narrow therapeutic range, and show excessive solubility problems. Hence, need firm compliance or usage for a long time. In these cases, to retain predetermined plasma drug levels usually, a Graphene oxide-based hydrogels drug delivery system In recent years, graphene-based materials have been researched for use in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, wound healing, and stem cell engineering. Since it has superior mechanical qualities high elasticity, strength, and flexibility graphene can be tailored to perform a variety of functions on flat surfaces. As a result, it could be put to use as a reinforcing component in hydrogels, biodegradable films, electrospun fibres, and other tissue engineering scaffolds [353,354]. Many newer Properties that can be improved by incorporating GO hydrogels Integrating graphene oxide (GO) into hydrogels has great potential for improving certain essential characteristics. Significantly, the incorporation of GO may greatly enhance the mechanical robustness of hydrogels, thereby overcoming a key drawback observed in conventional hydrogel materials. The addition of this reinforcement enhances the overall strength and longevity of the hydrogel, broadening its potential uses in diverse areas such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. Moreover, the Methods of preparation of graphene-based hydrogels The basic approaches for the making of graphene-based hydrogels are self-assembly, mixed solution and in-situ polymerization methods which are discussed as follows in brief [364]. Applications of hydrogels based on graphene oxide for the administration of drugs It has been established that GO holding various oxygen-containing functional groups, make it a viable option as a vehicle for the desirable delivery of pharmaceuticals or DNA. In spite of the presence of functional groups, they exhibit remarkable loading capacity, great solubility, and outstanding biocompatibility as a result of their high surface area and basal planar structure with a sp2 domain. It is feasible to build multimodal GO with a range of functions through the process of conjugating Conclusion Since last few decayed, in the direction of drug delivery, researchers are focusing to generate novel drug carriers for control and targeted delivery by using amazing properties of nanomaterials. The review investigated the applications of graphene oxide, and due to its distinct physicochemical characteristics, it is able to couple with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules either covalently or non-covalently, has been declared as a significant nano-vector for drug deliver amid its Credit authorship contribution statement Renu Saharan: Conceptualization, Data curation.

- MASSIVE PUBLIC PUSHBACK TO UK'S CBDC AKA BRITCOIN
Whenever Not On The Beeb sends out an appeal or petition, we always get a few emails back from disillusioned members wondering if the effort of fighting back by paper/petition/survey is worth it. My take has always been that one of the foundational principles of a petition is letting the individual person signing, see how many other people believe and think the same thoughts. During lockdown, when they tried to stop us from meeting in groups and sharing our opinions that often were contrary to the media-reinforced government narrative, this was especially useful. The appeal in last week's email was to sign the government's consultation on the UK's CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency.) The push by many freedom groups in tandem (even though it was last minute) was effective enough to be written about in the Telegraph. 50,000 or more people made their voices heard. THANK YOU! Before reading the Telegraph's article on the public backlash, it is worth considering that when we watch 119 countries walking in hand-in-hand in tandem preparing for a CBCDs, just as we saw as countries adopting the same lockdown strategy under Covid, to question if we are witnessing something very far from a personal project of Sunak, as the Telegraph insinuates. The mass move in Lockstep seems to indicate an overreaching power higher than the leaders of individual nations. Sunak appears to be no more than a frontman to appease the British public on behalf of the masters of a larger more comprehensive global agenda. This map shows the uptake of CBCDs across the globe. MAP DATA HERE >>>> https://cbdctracker.org/ Adjusting the table, it is interesting to see which countries were the first to adopt the CBCD concept. And then interesting to see which countries have cancelled their CBCD projects The speech on CBDCs by the head of the Philipino central bank speech is entertaining. I love his references of organising a country's finances to married life. Echopomhg my previous email he states the basic result of CBDCs which many of us believe to be the actual agenda behind the CBDC attempted rollout. QUOTE: "...the government will actually know more about you than your wife..." He also points out that CBDCs would enable parking fines to b proportionate to earnings. I must admit I thought would be a good idea since I was student in the 80's and saw rich kids in Oxford using double yellows outside their favourite cafes as reserved private parking for the privileged who could afford the fines as a parking fee. QUOTE: "...My own personal experience is that cash is faster [for certain transactions] because you have to take your phone out [with e-wallets]. Then, your GMaya has logged you out. So, you have to log in. If you put out cash, that is it. So, it is hard to beat cash.... (however) in one economy I know, your traffic ticket fine is higher if your income is higher. That is how good the data system is. The theory there is, of course, very simple: A rich person will be discouraged less by a 50-dollar fine for violating traffic than a poor person. So, if you make the traffic fines proportional to income, it will be more effective. Can you imagine the data requirements to just issue the traffic tickets? In those countries, it is already happening..." SOURCE Many of us might momentarily have a knee-jerk reaction seeing this as a good use of data gathering, yet we must pause to think how else this data gathering would be used. If a parking fine could be related to your perceived ability to pay it, what else will power-hungry civil servants dream up? Medical care linked to our perceived diet or alcohol intake? Would we get the equivalent of digital ASBOS for attending protests that would disable us from accessing the internet or buying tickets to radical speakers? We have already seen moves to classify people such as myself for distributing the very information you are reading now as terrorists. Will we have our ability to purchase limited as a basic step to limit our work without trial? If researchers and filmmakers such as myself are successfully labelled terrorists, then the next step will be to label anyone reading or watching the material as terrorist sympathisers or a threat to national security. If this seems far-fetched Nigel Farage has had his accounts closed. Louise Cressfield from Save Our Rights has just had her Co Op close her bank accounts. I have been cut off professionally and personally from all of Paypal services and had had three online payment providers and one mass mail-out service cease their services. Why? Mailert lite banned my mass email newsletter enabling account for the email headline 'Why are the BBC ignoring vaccine-injury?' PayPal cited the closures were 'due to my activities with 'Not On The Beeb.' INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO CBDC Whilst many countries are pushing ahead. several have cancelled their projects,. This is the enlightening Press release issued by the Kenyan Central Bank cancelling their CBDC, (I've highlighted a key section in bold) PRESS RELEASE ISSUANCE OF DISCUSSION PAPER ON CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY: COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC In February 2022, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) issued a Discussion Paper on Central Bank Digital Currency and sought views from the public on the potential applicability of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in Kenya. The objective was to inform policy decisions and public acceptance regarding the innovation. CBK has now compiled the comments and announces the issuance of Discussion Paper on Central Bank Digital Currency: Comments from the Public. The paper summarizes the views that were received on the applicability of a CBDC in Kenya, in addition to providing an update on key CBDC developments since February 2022. An Annex in the paper also summarizes recent developments on crypto assets. The Discussion Paper elicited over 100 responses from a diverse range of individuals, public institutions, commercial banks, Payment Service Providers (PSPs), technology providers, academia, the legal fraternity, and international development partners. The responses were from across 9 countries: Kenya, South Africa, United States of America, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, and Japan. Respondents highlighted the following as the main potential benefits of CBDC: increased efficiency, transparency, and lower costs. Conversely, respondents identified the following key risks: disintermediation of banks, high implementation costs, technology and cyber risks, and financial exclusion. Respondents also highlighted the need to consider Kenya’s highly developed digital payments ecosystem and the high level of financial inclusion. Further, while a CBDC may be useful for cross-border transactions, its risks should be carefully considered. The understanding of CBDC issues is deepening with the ongoing work internationally. For instance, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other central banks continue to do research and/or implement CBDC projects. Nevertheless, on the global stage, the allure of CBDCs is fading. Further, central banks that were first to roll out CBDCs have recently faced challenges that have hampered implementation. Additionally, recent instability in the global crypto assets market has amplified concerns and the need for a careful review of the innovation and technology risks. Against this backdrop, implementation of a CBDC in Kenya may not be a compelling priority in the short to medium term. Significantly, Kenya’s pain points in payments could potentially continue to be addressed by other innovative solutions around the existing ecosystem. This would be consistent with CBK’s vision for a payments system that is secure, fast, efficient, accessible to and works for Kenyans. Nevertheless, CBK will continue to monitor developments in CBDCs to inform future assessments of the need for CBDC in Kenya. Major global central banks have deferred the decision on the adoption of CBDCs. This measured approach is consistent with the approach that CBK is taking. CBK has also been collaborating with other central banks that have developed proof of concepts for CBDCs, to benefit from their experience. Additionally, CBK is working with central banks who have implemented CBDCs to understand if the expected benefits have been realized. CENTRAL BANK OF KENYA June 2, 2023 SOURCE TELEGRAPH ARTICLE (UK) Sunak’s Britcoin ambitions hit by huge public backlash More than 50,000 responses sent to Bank of England after digital currency consultation. By Szu Ping Chan Rishi Sunak’s ambition to turn the UK into a digital currency hub has been dealt a blow following a public backlash over plans to introduce a virtual alternative to cash dubbed “Britcoin”. It is understood that Threadneedle Street has received more than 50,000 responses to a joint consultation with the Treasury on the introduction of a central bank digital currency by the end of the decade. The project, which was launched in 2021 by then-Chancellor Mr Sunak as part of efforts to digitise the economy, has been met with widespread public concern about privacy as well as anger over the possible consequences for cash. Civil liberties groups such as Big Brother Watch have encouraged the public to write to the Bank outlining their privacy concerns, while the response from the industry has also been mixed. Banking lobbyists have raised the alarm over plans to allow Britons to hold large amounts of digital pounds, in a move that the Bank has acknowledged raises the risk of faster bank runs as it would be easier for customers to move their money elsewhere. Andrew Bailey and Jeremy Hunt have thrown their weight behind the project, with the Bank Governor and Chancellor both suggesting it is likely a digital currency will be needed by the end of the decade as cash use wanes. The Prime Minister, who has stated his ambition to make the UK a global hub for crypto asset technology, was earlier this year forced to drop plans to make a non-fungible token (NFT) for sale through the Royal Mint, less than 12 months after the project was first announced. UK Finance, which represents more than 300 financial services businesses across the country, warned in a submission that Britcoin was “likely to trigger concerns about privacy and state interference” if widely adopted, including for salary payments. It described initial limits by the Bank of between £10,000 to £20,000 as excessive, adding the proposed figures would “introduce significantly more risks to financial stability than benefits”, particularly in times of crisis. While digital currencies could pose a threat to the traditional funding sources of high street lenders, UK Finance argues that a lower limit of between £3,000 and £5,000 better reflects consumer spending habits, highlighting that the average person spent just £89 per month in cash in 2021 and £1,053 on debit cards. A lower limit would comfortably cover average monthly expenditure while reducing financial stability risks, UK Finance said. However, others believe that a digital pound should be as flexible and usable as cash. The Payments Services Regulator (PSR), which oversees all the main systems in the UK including those used for salaries payments, cheques, Mastercard and Visa, said Britcoin should act as an asset of last resort enabling people to shift money into digital pounds quickly in the event of a financial crisis. Lord Bridges, chairman of the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee, said that while the Bank and Treasury were “absolutely right” to look into the impact of introducing a digital pound, risks such as the threat to financial stability, privacy and hacking should all be properly scrutinised. He also questioned how much the project would cost the taxpayer, regardless of whether any digital currency is introduced. The Bank’s latest annual report shows millions of pounds have already been spent researching the economic benefits of a CBDC, although this was primarily funded by withholding interest paid on commercial bank money deposited with the Bank. Privacy concerns were widely raised in responses, with any digital pound unlikely to offer total anonymity to its user in order to prevent fraud and crime. UK Finance also questioned whether the public would be satisfied with Bank reassurances that it would not know the identity of users, even as it controls the total amount of currency in circulation. This is a “key point to overcome doubts and fears in civil society about the central surveillance capabilities of the digital pound infrastructure,” the lobby group said. The Bank has entered the second phase of the design process for Britcoin before officials make a decision on whether to proceed with the currency by the middle of this decade. Mr Hunt said in May that any launch of a digital pound will need to be approved by Parliament. Mr Hunt has also insisted that “cash is here to stay”, with the Government legislating last week to protect its use as long as the demand for physical banknotes remains. Central bank digital currencies (CBDC) have also drawn the ire of a former Bank governor. Lord King has branded them a “solution without a problem” that have “risks but no obvious benefits”. He cautioned against creating something the public didn’t need just because it had the “sexy name of a digital currency”. A Bank spokesman said it was considering responses and will respond in due course.
