🧪 Redox Collapse from Soil to Cell
A SCN⁻–Sodium Framework for Understanding Viral Trauma and Vaccine Injury Abstract We propose an integrative model linking COVID pathogenesis, vaccine-induced dysregulation, and soil degradation to suppression of thiocyanate (SCN⁻) and sodium. These two ions represent guardians of systemic coherence across biological domains. Their industrial displacement leaves human and ecological systems vulnerable to redox chaos, immune…

Laterite
Laterite is a soil type rich in iron and aluminium and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content. They develop by intensive and prolonged weathering of the underlying parent rock, usually when there are conditions of high temperatures and heavy rainfall with alternate wet and dry periods. The…

Saprolite
Saprolite is a chemically weathered rock. Saprolites form in the lower zones of soil profiles and represent deep weathering of the bedrock surface. In most outcrops, its color comes from ferric compounds. Deeply weathered profiles are widespread on the continental landmasses between latitudes 35°N and 35°S. Conditions for the formation of deeply weathered regolith include a topographically moderate relief flat enough to prevent erosion and to allow leaching of the products of chemical weathering. A second…

Zinc, maybe
No proof for the need of zinc in human cells was shown until the late 1930s. More than most ever wanted to know about zinc. A work in progress.
