lez··on mRNA cancer therapy now in human trials after shrinking mouse tumours
Taking one person's opinion and projecting it to millions is not part of the scientific method. It is like being angry to one jew and killing 6 million (see Hitler's life).
lez··on mRNA cancer therapy now in human trials after shrinking mouse tumours
I would argue that a critical view of vaccinations has always been widely present. We see this now as gaining traction only because they speak up as mandatory vaccines are becoming a real possibility. (otherwise: lose job, can't travel, etc) Maybe it's time to actually have a conversation with them, instead of labelling them and regard them as idiots.

lez··on Ask HN: Jobs in Software/Technology Activism?
According to one of Wikipedia's founders, it's no longer a free and open platform. There are politically strategic topics where no arguments/edits are tolerated other than what fits the mainstream viewpoint.

The owner of the question definitely wants to push things in a different direction than mainstream.

lez··on Link rot and content drift are endemic to the web
I see this as a more general pattern on HN: Opinions not-yet-adopted by academia are often downvoted instead of being argued with. This stifles innovation because alternative opinions do not even show up in the casual reader's screen.

What Boros said in an interview (won't link it since it's in Hungarian) is that there's an extra fee to be paid for the authors to be able to put the papers on their own homepage as open access articles.

I don't know more details about it, but surely he can answer your question or you can find the answer in sciencedirect or whatever. I'm not familiar with the science bureaucracy machine, sorry.

I'm happy to agree with all of your claims. (except the arbitrary label you applied: "junk")

Deuterium depleted water is produced by distilling water multiple times, which is extremely energy heavy operation. That's why a bottle of 1.5L 105ppm DDwater costs around $4. It is still extremely cheap if you compare to the cost of other oncology treatments.

There are minimal differences in the chemical behaviour. The very first scientific paper in the publication list shows the effects of that minimal difference. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/107327482199965... The results of deuterium depletion is what you see on Page 6: Decreased proliferation of cancer cells. In vitro studies were followed by animal experiments, which I mentioned above.

The human experiments were conducted on 22 persons. 2 of DDW consumers died, 9 in the placebo group died. This, as I see, doesn't rule out the possibility of an extremely efficient drug for cancer.

These are all backed by strong evidence, see here: https://hyd.hu/en/publications/

One deuterium ion isotope (proton+neutron) is twice as heavy as the hydrogen ion isotope (proton).

If you are claiming they are identical chemically, I think it's you who should come up with Strong Evidence.

The common sense dictates that if a particule is twice as heavy, it COULD have different properties, which can be empirically tested, in fact WAS tested. (see links above)

I'm not sure which website you refer to.

To put in context what "we have a cure for cancer" means:

In 1993 Prof. Dr. Somlyai has discovered that cancer cells cannot tolerate low-deuterium environments (as low as 100 ppm). There is solid science behind. He and his workmate, Prof. Dr. Boros even buy the publication fee for their own scientific papers to make them available to the general public because they are open to recieve scientific criticism. The idea of deuterium depletion manifested in a therapy using deuterium depleted water, which is drank regularly or injected directly into tumors. It has been approved for animals and being used in therapy since 15 years with great success. The human experiments have succeeded to demonstrate that mentioned water significantly improves acute survival rate, and survival rate is significantly better after 1 year of treatment.

The authorities have declined to approve its use in humans because there were no significant improvement in survival rate after 3 years of treatment. So "we dont have a cure for cancer".

Life, since eucaryotic cells have appeared, thrive to deplete deuterium levels inside mitochondria because deuterium kills atpase enzyme, which produces the energy for the whole body. One method of doing this is to keep procaryote cells and fungi in the gut, which in turn tend to concentrate deuterium, which is required for their genes to multiply. Feces is therefore richer in deuterium, getting the body levels lower.

Ocean deuterium level is 155. When the water evaporizes, the steam has 2.5% - 4% less deuterium as the water. The cloud then moves around, and rains the deuterium-richer water first, leaving the deuterium depleted rain for the end. When clouds form around the equator, and they quickly fall in the form of summer thunderstorms, they tend to be higher in deuterium. But if the clouds form, move around through the poles, then back to 45 degrees latitude, they can reach the 130 ppm, which is tremenduosly good for mitochondria. We know that cancer is less prevalent as we go closer to poles.

The consequence of mitochondria having low deuterium levels is that they produce citric acid with low deuterium content, which later turns into fat. That's why lard has 118 ppm deuterium in it, which generally means that eating a ketogenic diet of such fats (and drinking as little water as needed) is super efficient in depleting deuterium in the body. It takes 2-3 months to reach the equilibrium of deuterium levels after a change in diet/lifestyle. The Wartburg-effect might be a consequence of this.

ppm is parts per million, which labels how many deuterium isotopes are present for 1000000 hydrogen atoms. So oceans have roughly one deuterium-containing water molecule every 6600 water molecules.

The above is basically what I understood researching the topic, please google Somlyai and Boros for more.

It is perfectly logical if your thinking is conspiratory, but on HN only logical thinking is allowed, so it really makes no sense.

lez··on Cabal: A peer-to-peer, off-grid, community-first, hackable chat platform
I agree the problem is two-fold: One being the Big Tech overreaching in the name of "our safety". The other being the overly vocal minority who clap hands for them and come up with excuses defending them, as if they were propagandists.
lez··on Cabal: A peer-to-peer, off-grid, community-first, hackable chat platform
The problem that you mention was largely amplified by Big Tech, the same companies who are now offering their "solutions".

As an insider do you see the current level of censorship from Big Tech to make the situation worse, better, or do you feel it doesn't matter?
lez··on An automated pipeline for the discovery of conspiracy theories
That's exactly what I mean by challenge. But you have no other options. You can't force someone to honestly change opinion, that's impossible.
lez··on An automated pipeline for the discovery of conspiracy theories
I think trying to "help change their opinion" or "help correct misconceptions" is also counter-productive. Just accept that they have a different opinion and deal with that. It can be a challenge, but you can't avoid dealing with other ppl's different opinions. It's life.

Send them to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6EzSbI-zOk It is from the INSIDE of the Truth movement, and will convince them to stop talking to everyone about conspiracies - as that's useless and damages human relationships. Also helps them to find meaning in their life.
lez··on The Conspiracy Theory Handbook
I don't see why the standard procedure can't be applied here. E.g. we have no proof to either a conspiracy or to its opposite, so let us live peacefully, while having different opinions. Also, let's not force anything on each other - because there's no evidence on any of the sides.

lez··on Vitamin D improves survival in Covid-19 elderly patients
One more friendly reminder: If Vitamin D dosage is above 4000IU, same amount of Vitamin A should also be supplemented to avoid Vitamin A deficiency (e.g. eat liver). It's also antiviral, so it sounds like a good idea anyway.

lez··on Plausible Analytics Isn't GDPR Compliant
Aren't the biggest corporations doing the same on orders of magnitude larger datasets? They get away very well with merging data from quite a few acquired companies.

If small companies are called upon compliance with such vehemence, the big ones who know so much of us should be brought up, at least 100x times more.

lez··on Plausible Analytics Isn't GDPR Compliant
I have the feeling that GDPR and Cookie consent laws themselves, ironically, make harder for the services to provide privacy.
lez··on Chrome is deploying HTTP/3 and IETF QUIC
Using the same logic, https://facebook.com is also a danger, since we know they routinely sell out our personal data to advertisers and probably anyone who is willing to pay for them. Or an aquitance could be an insurance agent... Not to mention NSA as a source of danger in this sense.

The real danger I see is the disappearance of lots of quality, not-for-profit content that reminds me of the good old Internet, swapping it with new shiny https publishers, of which 90% belong to the same owners. That's the real danger to the society. The long tail is disappearing, while commercial interests, and the manipulation that comes with that sneaks in everywhere.
