Albert Einstein and many other physicists have stated simply that everything in our universe is energy…in fact, electrical energy. Because of that, all aspects of this reality respond (in some way) to the frequencies and intensity of the electrical signals within our bodies and those surrounding us in our environment.

Early in the last century, the extraordinary inventor and researcher, Royal Raymond Rife established conclusively that human cells – of all kinds – had unique energetic signatures. He went further to demonstrate that if one introduced enough energy into the body at the signature frequency of specific cells, say, cancer cells, the target organisms resonate and vibrate so greatly that that they destroy themselves.

Expanding on those profound discoveries, Quantum Biofeedback devices are now available to scan and assess the body for the underlying issues related to different imbalances and diseases, and to then respond with customized signals that target the area that is influencing the observed problem at the cellular level. The positive results of thousands of individuals speak to the efficacy of this approach.

Perhaps the most effective use of these principles involves focusing on the gut. Since all life begins in the gut, whether it’s overall health, inflammation, aging, memory, or movement, the desirable performance of each function of our bodies depends upon one’s absorption and digestion capabilities. Debra Rose specializes in relieving the stress associated with chronic or degenerative disease, thereby freeing up the body to heal itself as it was designed to do.

Many people’s lives have been profoundly changed after being exposed to these therapies.

An Ant’s Sense of Smell Is So Acute, It Can Sniff Out Cancer – (Washington Post – January 24, 2023)

Ants have such a refined sense of smell, in fact, that researchers are now training them to detect the scent of human cancer cells. A study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences highlights a keen ant sense and underscores how someday we may use sharp-nosed animals — or, in the case of ants, sharp-antennaed insects — to detect tumors quickly and cheaply. “The results are very promising,” said Baptiste Piqueret, a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Germany who studies animal behavior and co-wrote the paper. He added, however: “It’s important to know that we are far from using them as a daily way to detect cancer.” For his study, Piqueret’s team grafted pieces of a human breast-cancer tumor onto mice and trained 35 ants to associate urine from the tumor-bearing rodents with sugar. Placed in a petri dish, the silky ants (Formica fusca) spent significantly more time near tubes with urine from the “sick” mice compared with urine from healthy ones. “The study was well conceived and conducted,” said Federica Pirrone, an associate professor at the University of Milan who was not involved in the ant research but has conducted similar investigations into the smelling ability of dogs. But ants, Piqueret suggested, may have the edge over dogs and other animals that are time-consuming to train (and more expensive to maintain). Researchers have to do a lot more work before ants or other animals help make an actual diagnosis. Piqueret’s team plans to test ants’ ability to sniff out the markers of cancer in urine from actual patients. If ants are ever used in cancer screening, Piqueret wants to make one thing clear: No, they will not need to crawl on you. “There will be no direct contact between ants and patients,” he said. “So even if people are afraid of insects, it’s fine.”

Cancer Vaccines Are Already a Reality—But Your Doctor Might Not Tell You about Them Unless You Ask – (Fortune – February 4, 2023)

Cancer vaccines exist today. Clinical trials have long been underway using traditional vaccine technologies—and participants are already receiving cancer vaccines, many personalized. A handful of vaccines have already received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. And cancer-preventing vaccines have been around since the 1980s. If this is news to you, you’re not alone. Doctors don’t always offer cancer-preventing or cancer-treating vaccines to patients—due to lack of knowledge, or bias against certain racial, gender, or age groups. Cancer vaccines are not much different from vaccines for infectious diseases like the flu, measles, mumps, and COVID, said Dr. Keith Knutson, a professor of immunology at the Mayo Clinic who researches and develops cancer vaccines. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to fight a target—usually a virus. In this case, however, the target is cancer. Right now, the bulk of cancer vaccines are therapeutic—used to treat patients who already have advanced cancer, often in concert with other interventions like chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. Two are currently approved by the FDA, according to the Cancer Research Institute: one for early-stage bladder cancer, and another for prostate cancer. But there are also vaccines for cancer survivors. They’re given to those in remission with a high risk of relapse, Knutson says. Knutson’s lab is working on a vaccine that targets six points of attack frequently found on breast cancer. Fortuitously, many are also found in lung, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. “We may be generating immunity that targets breast cancer specifically, but we think that immunity may also be protective against other cancers as well,” he says. Then there are the vaccines that can prevent cancer altogether. There are four that are FDA approved: three for HPV, or human papillomavirus, and one for Hepatitis B. Article goes on to discuss “personalized” cancer vaccines.

This Software Tries to Spot Lung Cancer Years Earlier – (Washington Post – February 1, 2023)

Researchers have created an artificial intelligence tool that could predict whether a person will get lung cancer up to six years in advance, paving the way for doctors to spot tumors that are notoriously hard to detect early. The finding, announced by a team of researchers at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is part of a growing medical trend of using algorithms to predict everything from breast cancer and prostate cancer to the likelihood of tumors regrowing. Though research is increasing, scientists say more testing needs to be done before fully unleashing these products into clinical settings. The software tool is called Sybil, named after the prophet in ancient Greek literature. It is a deep-learning model, meaning computers parse through huge data sets to identify and categorize patterns. Sybil was trained on six years of lung scans of patients in the United States and Taiwan, researchers said. The study results showed Sybil achieved scores scientifically considered “good” and “strong” in predicting lung cancer over six years. It was stronger with its one-year prediction rates, the researchers noted. Building Sybil was a challenge, study authors said. Most of the imaging data to train Sybil didn’t contain overt signs of cancer, since early-stage lung cancer is in small portions of the lung and can be hard for the naked eye to spot. To ensure the software could assess cancer risk, the study team “labeled hundreds of CT scans with visible cancerous tumors” and fed them into Sybil before unleashing the software on CT scans with limited signs of cancer, researchers said.

Radioligand Therapy, a Game-changer for Cancer Treatment, Forces Manufacturers to Race Against a Ticking Clock – (CNBC – February 10, 2023)

Radioligand therapy, also called radionuclide or radiopharmaceutical therapy, is a targeted form of cancer treatment that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells. While other forms of cancer treatment can target any rapidly dividing cells in the body, radioligand therapy’s precision helps limit damage to healthy, surrounding tissue. It’s an effective form of treatment that many experts and patients are excited about, but there’s a significant catch — the medication expires within days after it’s manufactured. A radioligand is made of a radioisotope, which emits radiation that damages cells, and a targeted ligand — a molecule that binds to specific markers on cancer cells. The radioactive component has a very short half-life, or the time it takes for the radioactivity to decrease by 50%. Once the radioactivity decays, it can no longer kill the cancer cells as effectively, which means radioligand therapy has a limited window of viability. By the time it is packaged and ready to ship, the treatment has to reach patients in a matter of days. Pharmaceutical company Novartis currently produces two radioligand therapy treatments called Lutathera, which treats neuroendocrine tumors, a rare form of cancer in the digestive tract, and Pluvicto, for patients with a specific type of prostate cancer. They were both approved by the Food and Drug Administration. As of October, Novartis had treated more than 16,000 neuroendocrine patients and 4,000 prostate cancer patients in the U.S. Pluvicto was approved only last March and demand is increasing. As many as 60,000 U.S. patients could ultimately benefit from the medicine, said Jeevan Virk, head of radioligand therapy at Novartis. But in order to realize that potential, Novartis has to move the medication through the supply chain (i.e. delivery issues, etc.) seamlessly. Producing radioligand therapy is expensive, and companies have to be willing to shoulder the costs and navigate a challenging supply chain in the hope that they can eventually make a profit. The list price (wholesale acquisition cost) of Pluvicto is around $42,500, while Lutathera is around $53,200, and most patients require between four to six doses. Novartis, which generated more than $50 billion in net sales last year, believes Pluvicto holds multibillion-dollar peak sales potential.

Northern Virginia Is the Heart of the Internet. Not Everyone Is Happy About That. – (Washington Post – February 10, 2023)

Northern Virginia is home to about 275 data centers, handling at least a third of the world’s online use, with dozens more of the massive structures either under construction or planned as local officials seek to tap into the hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue generated by an industry that requires few government services in return. But Amazon’s plans to invest $35 billion by 2040 to build multiple data centers across the state have sparked debates about local land use policies in neighborhoods where data center buildings — some the size of several football fields — sit less than 100 feet from the nearest home, creating serious noise pollution from cooling fans. The concrete and glass buildings just off Loudoun County Parkway in Ashburn, VA look like an ordinary collection of offices, save for the spiked metal fences and a security guard posted at the parking lot entrance. Inside is the beating heart of the internet in the eastern United States. Informally known as the MAE-East network access point, the Ashburn site owned and operated by the Equinix digital infrastructure company is one of several “primary nodes” for the internet in the world. From it springs a web of underground fiber-optic cables linking to the region’s growing number of data centers and to trans-Atlantic cables that connect Northern Virginia to other parts of the world. Ashburn became the center of the internet on the East Coast in the 1990s, after AOL and WorldCom Inc. moved their operations there, said Josh Levi, president of the Data Center Coalition trade group. Because the success of online computing is measured by the least amount of delay — or latency — in the movement of data, physical proximity to the MAE-East primary node is key, leading many of the earliest data centers to also set up their operations in Loudoun, Levi said. Each new data center built has meant more fiber-optic cable laid, increasing the network’s density while broadening it outward — “and it becomes this kind of snowballing of connectivity,” he said. “A lot of local governments in Northern Virginia, they look at data centers as local governments downstate look at casinos,” said state Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax City). “They’re like, ‘Oh, it’s free money.’ It’s not free,” Petersen said. “[If] you’re going to get paid a lot of revenue, millions of dollars, believe me, there’s going to be an impact on your community.” (Editor’s note: If you have time to read only one article from this issue of FE, chose this one.)

Researchers Successfully Turn Abandoned Oil Well into Giant Geothermal Battery – (Good News Network – February 13, 2023)

What if abandoned oil and gas wells across the country could solve the problem of renewable energy storage? 3,000 feet below ground in a geological structure of porous sandstone, researchers from the University of Illinois deposited excess energy as heated water which could be used to generate electricity in the same way that geothermal power plants function. The Illinois Basin is ideal for oil extraction, but has no subsurface source of heat to produce geothermal power. The same reasons however that make it ideal for extracting oil make it perfect for a potential new method of solving the problems with renewable energy storage. The Illinois Basin boasts the correct thermal conductivity for the deposition of water heated through excess renewable energy production from solar or wind. Minerals with high conductivity are sandwiched between insulative layers, creating the conditions for the water to retain its heat enough to generate electricity. “Many of the same properties that make a subsurface rock formation ideal for oil and gas extraction also make it ideal for geothermal storage,” said lead researcher Tugce Baser, an environmental engineering professor at the University of Illinois. “And because our test site is a former gas well, it already has most of the needed infrastructure in place.” To test the heat storage capacity of the site, the researchers injected water heated to 50 degrees Celsius into the well for three days of injection in April 2021. After shutting down the well, the team monitored changes in pressure, thermal conditions, and hydraulics for five days. “Our field results, combined with further numerical modeling, find that the process can sustain a thermal storage efficiency of 82%,” Baser said. The study further reports an average overall net cost of electricity generation of $0.138 per kilowatt-hour, making the proposed system economically viable and profitable.

Electric Vehicles Can Now Power Your Home for Three Days – (Washington Post – February 7, 2023)

Here’s what some automakers are now promising anyone with an EV: An enormous home battery on wheels that can reverse the flow of electricity to power the entire home through the main electric panel. Beyond serving as an emissions-free backup generator, the EV has the potential of revolutionizing the car’s role in American society, transforming it from an enabler of a carbon-intensive existence into a key step in the nation’s transition into renewable energy. Home solar panels had already been chipping away at the United States’ centralized power system, forcing utilities to make electricity transfer a two-way street. More recently, home batteries have allowed households with solar arrays to become energy traders, recharging when electricity prices are low, replacing grid power when prices are high, and then selling electricity for a profit during peak hours. But batteries are expensive. Using EVs makes this kind of home setup cheaper and a real possibility for more Americans. So there may be a time, perhaps soon, when your car not only gets you from point A to point B, but also serves as the hub of your personal power plant. Bidirectional charging, the ability for vehicle electricity to flow both ways, is now a commercial reality in the United States. By 2024, numerous makes and models will be in dealerships. You can even buy one today: The Ford F-150 Lightning, an all-electric version of America’s best-selling pickup truck. It’s scrambling the economics of home energy. Ford changed how customers saw their trucks when it rolled out a hybrid version of the F-150, says Ryan O’Gorman of Ford’s energy services program. The truck doubles as a generator sporting as many as 11 outlets spread around the vehicle, including a 240-volt outlet typically used for appliances like clothes dryers. During disasters like the 2021 ice storm that left millions of Texans without electricity, Ford dealers lent out their hybrid F-150s as home generators. The Lightning, the fully electric version of the F-150, takes the next step by offering home backup power. Under each Lightning sits a massive 98 kWh to 131 kWh battery pack. That’s enough energy, Ford estimates, to power a home for three days (10 days if rationing). “The vehicle has an immense amount of power to move that much metal down the road at 80 mph,” says O’Gorman.

Auto Insurers Drop Coverage of These 2 Vehicles Due to Ease of Theft – (The Street – January 30, 2023)

If you frequented TikTok anytime in the last couple of years there’s a good chance you caught a glimpse of the “Kia Challenge.” It’s a viral trend showing just how easy it is to steal certain Kia and Hyundai models. The “Kia Boyz” problem has gotten so bad that State Farm and Progressive, two of the largest insurers in the country, have confirmed that they no longer write policies for some Kia and Hyundai models manufactured between 2015 and 2019 in certain cities. The vehicles being stolen lack electronic mobilizers that can make it harder for a thief to steal a car by just bypassing the ignition, according to the Highway Loss Data Institute. Immobilizers became standard on all vehicles produced after November 1, 2021. The trend became so popular that police in St. Petersburg, FL., said during a period in July that half the 56 cars stolen in the city were Kia/Hyundai model years from 2021 and before that used key fobs to start. The trend reportedly started in Milwaukee, but thanks to the power of social media it is now national, the Tampa Bay Times reported. More than 1,800 Hyundais and Kias were stolen in the city of St. Louis as of August 2022. But to crystallize just how viral the problem is, about 2/3 (1,200) of those thefts came in the months of July and August alone. Cities and citizens that have not been able to stop the problem through law enforcement now are looking to the courts. The city of Seattle filed a complaint in federal court against Hyundai and Kia for failing to install adequate anti-theft technology, according to Car and Driver magazine. Lawyers representing claimants in the Hyundai lawsuits are looking for more people to join the class action. “Engine immobilizers have been widely available since 1992, and there seems to be no good reason for Hyundai not to add them to cars,” according to Select Justice. Meanwhile, St. Louis has said that if the companies don’t do something about the thefts by Sept. 19, the city will be filing a lawsuit against them. (Editor’s note: Some people are suggesting that TikTok should be sued for inadequate monitoring of its channel.)

Artificial Light Harms Our Bodies and Souls. It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way. – (Washington Post – February 1, 2023)

Why US Scientists Are Combining Catfish and Alligator DNA – (VBalTV – February 6, 2023)

Catfish is a heavily farmed fish: In 2021 alone, 307 million pounds of live catfish were produced in the U.S. — primarily in the southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas.  Rex Dunham, who’s on the team working on genetic improvement of catfish at Auburn, said about 40% of the fish worldwide die from diseases between the time they’re born to the time they’re harvested.  That’s largely because the farm ponds where they’re produced make the fish susceptible to infections. In order to reduce the chances of infection, researchers at Auburn University in Alabama are combining catfish and alligator DNA. The gene-edited fish were given an antimicrobial protein called cathelicidin that Dunham and other researchers believe make alligators more resistant to infections after being injured. The hybrid catfish are sterile because of the way the genes are swapped.

The Military Wants AI to Replace Human Decision-making in Battle – (Washington Post – March 29, 2023)

When a suicide bomber attacked Kabul International Airport in August last year, the death and destruction was overwhelming: The violence left 183 people dead, including 13 U.S. service members. This kind of mass casualty event can be particularly daunting for field workers. Hundreds of people need care, the hospitals nearby have limited room, and decisions on who gets care first and who can wait need to be made quickly. Often, the answer isn’t clear, and people disagree. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — the innovation arm of the U.S. military — is aiming to answer these thorny questions by outsourcing the decision-making process to artificial intelligence. Through a new program, called In the Moment, it wants to develop technology that would make quick decisions in stressful situations using algorithms and data, arguing that removing human biases may save lives, according to details from the program’s launch. Though the program is in its infancy, it comes as other countries try to update a centuries-old system of medical triage, and as the U.S. military increasingly leans on technology to limit human error in war. But the solution raises red flags among some experts and ethicists who wonder if AI should be involved when lives are at stake. DARPA’s In the Moment program will create and evaluate algorithms that aid military decision-makers in two situations: small unit injuries, such as those faced by Special Operations units under fire, and mass casualty events, like the Kabul airport bombing. Later, they may develop algorithms to aid disaster relief situations such as earthquakes, agency officials said. The program is expected to take roughly 3.5 years to complete. Similar to DARPA, a NATO team is working with Johns Hopkins University to create a digital triage assistant that can be used by NATO-member countries. Peter Asaro, an AI philosopher at the New School, said military officials will need to decide how much responsibility the algorithm is given in triage decision-making. Leaders, he added, will also need to figure out how ethical situations will be dealt with. For example, he said, if there was a large explosion and civilians were among the people harmed, would they get less priority, even if they are badly hurt? “That’s a values call,” he said. “That’s something you can tell the machine to prioritize in certain ways, but the machine isn’t gonna figure that out.” (Paywall waived.)

Enter the Hunter Satellites Preparing for Space War – (Ars Technica – February 2, 2023)

Former US Air Force major Even Rogers is worried about a space war. “Conflict exists on a continuum that begins with competition and ultimately leads into full-scale conflict like what you’re seeing in Ukraine,” he says. The US, he adds, is already “in active competition with Russia and China for freedom of action and dominance of the space domain. And it’s evolving very quickly.” So in 2022, the former US Air Force major incorporated True Anomaly, Inc to “solve the most challenging orbital warfare problems for the US Space Force,” he later tweeted. According to a recent filing with the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC), True Anomaly is now gearing up for its first orbital mission. In October, True Anomaly hopes to launch two Jackal “orbital pursuit” spacecraft aboard a SpaceX rocket to low earth orbit. The Jackals will not house guns, warheads, or laser blasters, but they will be capable of rendezvous proximity operations (RPO)—the ability to maneuver close to other satellites and train a battery of sensors upon them. This could reveal their rivals’ surveillance and weapons systems or help intercept communications. In their first mission, dubbed Demo-1, the Jackals will merely spy on each other, using thrusters, radar, and multi-spectral cameras to approach within a few hundred meters. If that goes well, Rogers envisages deploying thousands of autonomous spacecraft in service of the US military, controlled by a team of human operators and AI “to pursue adversaries wherever they fly, and to provide the tools of accountability.” Those tools start with understanding what technologies America’s adversaries are deploying in space. “But an active defense is going to be required,” says Rogers, now True Anomaly’s CEO. In a series of posts, Rogers tweeted: “Tactically disabling enemy spacecraft can be the difference between the loss of an entire Carrier Strike Group or its survival… And there are many ways to destroy spacecraft that don’t ruin the environment. After all, they are just floating computers.”

These Radically Simple Changes Helped Lawmakers Actually Get Things Done – (Washington Post – February 9, 2023)

We hear a lot about the shocking dysfunction in Congress. But what about stories of shocking function? For example, if any congressional committee were set up to fail, it was the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress. It was the only House committee in the last Congress required to get a supermajority vote of its members to get things done. But it was also evenly split: six Republicans and six Democrats, so you do the math. Oh, and its mission? To fix Congress. No biggie. The last select committee created to reform Congress, which focused on budgeting, passed exactly zero recommendations by the time it ended in 2018. So, how did this modernization committee become one of the most high-functioning bipartisan workplaces on Capitol Hill, creating what a Roll Call reporter called a “parallel congressional universe”? How did it manage to adopt, in just four years, 202 bipartisan recommendations, about two-thirds of which have already been executed or made significant progress in that direction? This article lays it out. (Editor’s note: This article proves that hope for a functional government is not complete folly.)

Canadian Province Tries Decriminalizing Drugs to Fight Overdose Crisis – (Reuters – February 1, 2023)

The western Canadian province of British Columbia on Tuesday has begun a three-year pilot program to stop prosecuting people for carrying small amounts of heroin, meth, ecstasy, or crack cocaine, as part of an effort to fight a drug overdose crisis. B.C. accounts for about a third of the 32,000 deaths due to overdose and trafficking nationally since 2016, according to official data. The province declared drug overdose a public health emergency that year. The problem worsened with the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted illicit drug supply chains as well support services, leaving people with more toxic drugs that they used alone. By not prosecuting people carrying small amounts of drugs, the B.C. government hopes to tackle the issue as a health problem rather than through the criminal justice system. The drugs on the exemption list, which also includes fentanyl and other opioids, remain illegal and the exemption from arrest is only for possession of up to 2.5 grams for personal use. The province says the exemption is intended to reduce the stigma associated with substance use and to make it easier for people to approach authorities for guidance. Other Canadian communities, also facing a rise in drug overdose deaths, are closely watching the pilot.

How Precision Scheduled Railroading at Norfolk Southern Caused a Toxic Vinyl Chloride Mushroom Cloud over East Palestine, Ohio – (Naked Capitalism – February 12, 2023)

This post will not cover what has been well-covered elsewhere: The derailment itself (50 cars, 20 of which carried toxic materials, 14 of those vinyl chloride), the subsequent fire, which burned for three days, the ultimate “controlled release” of the poisonous gas, the toxicity of vinyl chloride, the effects of the poison on locals, their pets, and their streams, or the arrest of the reporter who asked questions at Governor DeWine‘s presser. Rather, I shall begin from the very concrete (“for want of a nail…”) and move to the very abstract: From the wheel, to the truck, the cars, the firm (Norfolk Southern), and the owners. The crux of the matter is Precision railroading or precision scheduled railroading (PSR). It is a concept in freight railroad operations adopted by nearly every North American Class I railroad. It shifts the focus from older practices, such as unit trains, hub and spoke operations, and individual car switching at hump yards to emphasizing point-to-point freight car movements on simplified routing networks. The result is an often substantial improvement in railroad operating ratios and other financial and operating metrics at the cost of less-reliable service (particularly to smaller customers), long-term capacity issues, increased derailments, and other safety risks associated with longer trains and crew fatigue. This article details what went wrong and why. The short version is that equipment wasn’t properly monitored and maintained in the service of profit; the specifics shine a strong light on current rail transportation practices.
