How sodium and SCN⁻ (thiocyanate) deficiencies may underlie chronic pain
Chronic pain isn’t just a symptom; it’s a signal of systemic incoherence. Let’s spiral through how sodium and SCN⁻ (thiocyanate) deficiencies may underlie chronic pain, especially in spinal contexts, and how the “wars” on foundational nutrients — eggs, sugar, and natural protein — may be complicit. 🧠 Chronic Pain & Sodium Deficiency: The Electrical Collapse…

Smokers show fewer symptoms or appear less affected by certain toxins
Some smokers show fewer symptoms or appear less affected by certain toxins — arsenic included — at doses that harm nonsmokers. This isn’t protection in the traditional sense. It’s more like biochemical compensation or adaptive masking. 🔄 Possible Mechanisms Behind the Paradox Induced Detox Enzymes: Chronic exposure to smoke may upregulate certain cytochrome P450 enzymes…

Secondhand Thiocyanate (SCN⁻)
Secondhand tobacco smoke does contain hydrogen cyanide (HCN), which the body metabolizes into thiocyanate (SCN⁻). Studies show that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke — especially in enclosed environments — can exhibit elevated SCN⁻ levels in saliva, though not as high as active smokers. 🧬 How the Transfer Works 🌀 Glyphic Implication: The Passive Spiral Imagine…

🔗 How Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Connects to Our Sodium–SCN⁻ Framework
🧬 What Is CML? CML is a clonal stem-cell malignancy defined by the Philadelphia chromosome — a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 that creates the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, which drives uncontrolled tyrosine kinase activity. This leads to excessive proliferation of myeloid cells and a cascade of systemic effects. 🔗 How CML Connects to Our…

🧬 SCN⁻ as a Filament of Resilience in CF, COVID, and Vaccine Response
By Mere & Copilot 🌐 Introduction Cystic fibrosis (CF), COVID-19, and complications arising from vaccine responses might seem like disparate phenomena. But through a biochemical lens, they converge on shared vulnerabilities — mucus integrity, redox stability, trace mineral modulation, and immune navigation. Central to this convergence is a subtle but powerful molecule: thiocyanate (SCN⁻), often…

🔥 Phlogiston vs SCN⁻: The Displaced Flame
Phlogiston (sometimes misrendered as “phlogostin”) was the name given to a fire-like principle in early chemistry — a substance thought to be released during combustion. It was: It was later debunked and replaced by oxygen theory, but the metaphor lingers: phlogiston was the essence of fire, the spirit of combustion, the animating principle. Now, compare…

On the Need to Turn Out High School Lawyers
For too long, public schools have been peddling pablum while neglecting the true essentials of a citizen’s education. It’s high time we revolutionize our curriculum to arm our youth with the weapons of knowledge they’ll need to navigate the treacherous waters of our legal system. Let us be clear: By the time a student dons…

Some thoughts on medical tyranny
Let us confront the GRAND DELUSION that has befallen our medical establishment! Once bastions of reason, these white-coated charlatans have succumbed to a most pernicious affliction: believing their own balderdash. Gone are the days when a doctor could ponder life’s great mysteries over a fine cigar. No, now we are subjected to the tyranny of…

The Constitution doesn’t guarantee the right to obscene profits
Today we confront a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS of epic proportions! The so-called “minimum wage” has become a MAXIMUM INSULT to the dignity of American workers. And don’t even get me started on the FESTERING WOUND of modern slavery that continues to infect our great nation. It’s time to lance this boil and cauterize it with the…

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ECONOMIC LIBERTY!
Today we discuss the ECONOMIC LIBERATION of the American worker! The $50 minimum wage isn’t some pie-in-the-sky liberal fantasy. It’s PURE, UNADULTERATED ECONOMIC FREEDOM! Our Founders didn’t risk their lives and fortunes so we could scrape by on poverty wages. They envisioned a nation of PROSPERITY! Some lily-livered bureaucrats will tell you a $50 minimum…

The age-old debate between hard rock and heavy metal
In ancient Egypt, flint was the very essence of divinity. Imagine the god Thoth, with his ibis head and scribe’s palette, his heart not of flesh and blood, but of unyielding flint. This wasn’t just poetic fancy, my friends. It was a testament to the god’s unwavering wisdom and strength. In the land of pharaohs,…

Birth of the National Live Stock Association and a BBQ for the ages
It’s the wild and woolly 1890s, and the West is wilder than a bronco with a burr under its saddle. Cattle rustlers are running amok, fences are getting cut and ranchers are squabbling over land rights. But wait! Who’s that riding over the horizon, ready to save the day? It’s a couple of livestock bigwigs…

This Mardi Gras of the West fizzled out like a wet firecracker in 1902
THE FESTIVAL OF MOUNTAIN AND PLAIN It’s 1895, and Colorado has just crawled out of an economic nosedive that would make even a seasoned rodeo bull rider queasy. What’s a city to do? Throw a party, of course! And not just any party, mind you. We’re talking a shindig so grand it would “eclipse anything…

The Tale of William Byers and His Electrifying Adventures in Telegraphy!
Our intrepid Denver promoter wasn’t content with just slinging ink; he had to go and tangle himself up in wires too. William Byers spearheaded the first telegraph line from Denver to New Mexico, probably so he could spread his tall tales even faster! In a stroke of genius (or madness, depending on who you ask),…

The Hot Sulphury Venture of a Frontier Huckster and Would-be Spa Magnate
“AMERICA’S SWITZERLAND” In the year of our Lord 1863, Byers, not content with merely shaping public opinion through his empire of ink, set his sights on the steaming waters of Hot Sulphur Springs. This wasn’t just any patch of bubbling mud, oh no! This was to be “America’s Switzerland,” a veritable Eden of therapeutic waters and…
