Science News + Mitochondria Webinar from 3/18/26

Tom opens this week’s livestream with an update on the upcoming New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm (June 2026) -Registration is still open, and Tom shares that the event will bring together speakers, musicians, good food, and community for a meaningful in-person gathering.New Biology Experience link here.Highlights from this session include: -Tom introduces the central question of the talk: whether mitochondria actually exist, and if so, what we truly know about what they do. -He challenges the idea that many core concepts in modern biology—such as hormones, vitamins, genes, and biochemical markers—are “discovered”, suggesting instead that they are constructed through laboratory processes. -A critique of modern pharmaceuticals and testing, including examples like testosterone treatments and evolving cholesterol markers, illustrating how shifting frameworks often replace rather than resolve flawed assumptions. -Tom explores how scientific claims are built through indirect methods like subcellular fractionation and antibody tagging, arguing these rely on circular reasoning and unprovable assumptions. -A detailed examination of microscopy evidence, emphasizing that while small “squiggly” structures can be seen in cells, there is no clear proof of their structure, contents, or function. -He critiques widely accepted mitochondrial functions (energy production, disease causation, etc.), stating there is no direct evidence linking observed benefits (like red light therapy or diet) to mitochondria. -Tom emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between observable effects (feeling better, improved function) and unverified explanations (mechanisms attributed to mitochondria). -He concludes that focusing on abstract biological explanations can disconnect people from direct experience, observation, and practical healing.Tom closes the session by encouraging viewers to return to **real-world observations—food, light, environment, and personal experience—rather than abstract scientific constructs when thinking about health and healing.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg
