You can call me whatever names you want, but I believe the core disagreement is your approach is cure/treatment and I'm looking at the root cause/prevention. This is not to suggest zinc deficiency is the culprit, but various deficiencies in the American high calorie diet. From the NIH.gov website:

"Evolving and compelling evidence exists that proves that zinc is implicated as an important cytotoxic/tumor suppressor agent in several cancers. For example, that cellular zinc levels are markedly decreased in prostate cancer is well established" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3291177/

Zinc: A promising agent in dietary chemoprevention of cancer https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3102454/

"Many epidemiological studies have shown a relationship between the zinc content in the diet and the risk of cancer" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6835436/

" In addition, zinc contributes to the truncation of the Krebs cycle and inhibition of citrate oxidation, which further prevents cancer cell growth and proliferation, as well as inhibiting the invasion and migration of cancer cells" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7216164/

"The present meta-analysis suggested that serum zinc levels were significantly lower in lung cancer patients than that in controls." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6503426/

"In conclusion, we found that highest category of dietary zinc intake can significantly reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, especially among American populations." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5463257/

"Increased risk of cancer mortality associated with cadmium exposures in older Americans with low zinc intake" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23151207/

Isn't it too early to think about mRNA therapies?

VAERS data released today showed 118,902 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines, including 3,544 deaths and 12,619 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and April 23, 2021: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaers-significan...

The Orange County Coroner's office is investigating the death of a woman who died just days after she received her second dose of the Moderna vaccine: https://abc7.com/health/oc-womans-death-after-vaccination-sp...

Meanwhile: Using a protocol of zinc, hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin and one antibiotic in combination with inhaled budesonide and/or intramuscular dexamethasone... The early ambulatory treatment regimen was associated with estimated 87.6% reduction in hospitalization and 74.9% reduction in death (p<0.0001): https://trialsitenews.com/texas-physician-researchers-case-s...

da02··on Apple Reports Second Quarter Results

da02··on The culture war is killing us [video]
Isn't this normal for US politics? This clip could as well have applied to the 60s and 70s. For example:

> The late 1960s, early 1970s saw a dramatic shift in the American political matrix, a redefinition of competing political ideologies or belief systems. War, urban riots, campus protests and student alienation, assassinations, inter-generational mistrust, monetary inflation, the growth of the welfare-warfare state, and the “Sexual Revolution,” were the background sociopolitical issues driving this sea change.

From: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2009/04/charles-burris/from-radi...

So all the violence, riots, and corrupt politics (on both sides) seems to be we are going through another cycle of warring political parties and movements?

da02··on Simple Bank Is Closing
Imagine if a bunch of Apple employees decided to open an online bank. It felt like that: intuitive bank app, no fees for most services, checking accounts, a nicely designed debit card (VISA), US-based customer service reps, no brick-and-mortar branches. They lived up to their name in their app and service. Hopefully, the Simple employees move over to BBVA.

[I only used their checking and savings features. I never used eBills, paper checks, etc, which some people weren't happy about. Certain companies also could not transfer money from the Simple checking account, like Robin Hood. However, I still kept the account open because for my limited needs (debit card and savings), the app was great and so was service.]

https://fauna.com/ - FaunaDB: Evan Weaver and Chris Anderson were involved in created a distributed relational datastore. You can use it as an API and never have to think about provisioning or managing a server. It's proprietary, but the prices are insanely low for all the features and convenience you're getting.

Zinc Gluconate 15mg + Selenium + Quercetin 200mg (zinc ionosphere): For years I ignored the advice of knowledgeofhealth.com when it came to zinc and quercetin. I finally used it this year and it got rid of my cold in less than 48 hours with no side-effects. This has never happened to me before. Zinc-based supplements get rave reviews on Amazon and they seem legit. Google: selenium virus mutations. (I also took a new Vitamin C formula, Formula 216).

https://aureon.ca/ - Safire Project. Some claim it's a fraud, but I'm hoping something good will come out of it. They are using a different model of stars/suns to generate energy and other benefits. There's always molten salt reactors in case this one doesn't pan out.

They have a diversified set of revenue sources, including pharmaceuticals and makeup (https://www.fujifilm.com/products/skincare/). Their medium-format cameras are also doing very well from what I've heard on Youtube. I also heard the Angry Photographer (Ken Wheeler) say they are coming out with a theX-H2 next year.

It seems FujiFilm will be competing in the ASP-C market for a long while.
