Severity of common cold symptoms fell 41% in the fittest and 31% in the most active. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/45/12/987.abstract Flu shots in children: 5× higher risk of noninfluenza respiratory infections (incl. coronaviruses). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22423139/ Glyphosate damages gut health. https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/15/4/1416 Adults sleeping ≤6 h/night were ~4× more likely to develop a cold after rhinovirus exposure; similar with ≤7 h + low sleep efficiency. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4531403/ Vitamin D deficiency was common in COVID patients—41.9% overall, 80% in severe cases. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33048028/ Sea lion study: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/marine-science/articles/10.3389/fmars.2020.602565/full NFL player’s story: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1859740-random-things-most-nfl-fans-never-knew-football-players-almost-never-get-sick Cowling 2012: Flu shots in children increased risk of noninfluenza infections 5×. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22423139/ Wolff study: Vaccinated servicemen had higher odds of coronavirus (+36%), metapneumovirus (+51%), and other noninfluenza viruses (+15%). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X19313647 Vaccinated kids ≤4 yrs: 4.8× higher hazard of noninfluenza infection (CI 2.88–7.99). Ages 5–17: 1.61× higher hazard (CI 0.98–2.66). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29525279/ Chris Kresser (2021): Vitamin D deficiency raised SARS-CoV-2 infection risk by 80%. Deficient patients had 1.77× higher infection risk, 2.57× more severe, 2.35× higher mortality. https://vimeo.com/530879066/e9b314a0be Tom Jefferson review of 259 BMJ studies: Flu vaccines had little effect on outcomes like absences, days lost, illness, or death. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1626345/ Pesticide research (http://ndl.ethernet.edu.et/bitstream/123456789/54884/1/Jonathan%20J.%20Li_2008.pdf#page=399): • Women with reproductive cancers had 4–6× higher pesticide levels (8.7–10.9 mg/L vs 1.9 mg/L). • Living ≤1 mile from a golf course → 126% higher Parkinson’s risk; risk drops 13% per mile after 3 mi. • Shared water with golf course → nearly 2× PD risk. • Vulnerable groundwater regions → 82% higher PD risk. “These chemicals can be carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and estrogenic (disrupting hormones).” If you need other studies, ask AI or email [email protected]
