By Erik Peper, PhD, BCB, and Richard Harvey, PhD – SMT framework has guided the “War on Cancer” and has led to remarkable advances in targeted therapies, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation treatments. These strategies have saved countless lives, yet they primarily focus on eliminating malignant cells rather than understanding why normal cells become malignant in the first place.
By Geo Espinosa – A negative MRI is a probability, not a verdict, and a new review asks whether PSMA PET can close that gap or whether it is just another mirage.
By Bismah Irfan, MD – Older adults with the highest ultra-processed food intake had 26% higher incident-CKD risk — 37% when animal-sourced — and its phosphate additives are almost fully absorbed, versus roughly half from plants.
Book review by Rudy Shur – My hope is that this book will be a guide and an explanation of what breast cryoablation is all about and if you are a candidate. The goal is to educate women who are struggling with a breast mass and work-up for breast cancer and who need another potential option for dealing with their diagnosis and to help reduce recurrence.
By Nicolo Montecalvo, DC, MS, ND, and Laurence V. Hicks, ND, DC, DO – This paper outlines an advanced, actionable diagnostic framework to guide clinicians past superficial phenotypes and accurately identify hidden cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
By Geo Espinosa – A PSA that climbs fivefold in eight months usually means you missed something. Sometimes it means the patient forgot to mention his testosterone injections.
By Donnie Yance – Herbs and phytochemicals can alter drug metabolism, affect blood counts, liver function, coagulation, blood pressure, glucose control, and immune activity. Some may increase the risk of side effects; others may reduce drug levels and efficacy.
By Erik Peper, PhD, BCB, Stoyan Vezenkov, PhD, Violeta Manolovab, Lauren Mason, PhD and Richard Harvey, PhD – The empirical record on educational technology in early and primary education has not delivered on its promises—math and reading scores have declined while screen use in classrooms has risen, as the US NAEP data and Sweden’s recent reversal of its “digital-first” education policy make plain.
By Rob Lamberton, BSc, FNTP, FDN-P © – The tumor microenvironment — the immediate milieu of stromal cells, vasculature, immune infiltrate, and signaling molecules surrounding a tumor — is well established as a determinant of tumor behavior and treatment response. It is, in effect, a local terrain.
by Volodymyr Zhnakin – Improving family well-being does not require a complete lifestyle overhaul. It simply requires intentional organization. By treating the home as a system that needs clear routines and simple structure, families can lower stress and daily friction, and build stronger relationships.
Review by Patricia S. Lemer, MEd. LPC – Plant, animal, and human biology use electromagnetic radiation as light to survive, through photosynthesis, circadian rhythms, and the production of life-sustaining substances such as melatonin and Vitamin D. An over-abundance of ionizing radiation from higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum causes well-known changes to skin.
By Matthew Melnick, Founder, Thinnr Weight Loss – I want to walk through what we actually observed, be honest about what the data is and is not, make the case for why the delivery mechanism matters as much as the intervention itself, and argue that the practices best positioned for the next decade of metabolic care are the ones leaning into this kind of technology rather than treating it as a threat.
By Cheryl Burdette, ND – Nausea, reflux, abdominal pain, palpitations, and anxiety may be connected through the gut-brain axis. Testing pointing to a broader digestive pattern affecting both gut function and nervous system balance.
By Donnie Yance – The future of selenium supplementation lies in moving from one-size-fits-all recommendations to individualized protocols based on genotype, existing health status, baseline selenium levels, and specific disease conditions. With continued research and clinical application, selenium supplementation may become a cornerstone of comprehensive cancer prevention and chronic disease management strategies.
By David Tiger – When a muscle remains contracted for a prolonged period, it gradually shortens over time. This can result from poor working posture, prolonged sitting, or even injuries at birth. The result is poorer posture and the development of pain and discomfort.
By Sylvie Beljanski – The recognition of cancer stem cells as central drivers of recurrence and metastasis has introduced a new paradigm in cancer research, and though further clinical validation is required, the prospect of safely suppressing the biologic roots of recurrence represents an important and potentially transformative frontier in breast cancer care.
Book Review by Julia Schopick – Total Load Theory is a paradigm shifting book in several ways, and highly recommended to anyone who is interested in out-of-the-box treatments, as well as prevention.
By Christos Chinopoulos, MD, PhD, DSc – Cancer cells integrate carbohydrate, protein, and lipid catabolic routes in a highly coordinated fashion, allowing them to switch fuel sources and maintain growth and survival in the nutrient variable tumor microenvironment. Low-toxicity interventions do not replace surgery, cytotoxics or targeted drugs, but when matched to tumor genotype and patient metabolic state they can widen the therapeutic window of virtually every modern anti-cancer modality.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...

Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
