"A headset-based device that can be used to noninvasively assess a patient's stroke risk by monitoring changes in blood flow and volume while a participant holds their breath" has been developed.

The innovation here is (believe it or not) not AI -- it's a laser and camera setup.

"Stroke is caused by the blockage or rupture of an artery in the brain, which results in a reduction in blood flow. Starved of oxygen, the brain's cells die rapidly -- about 2 million every minute during a stroke."

"The Caltech team developed a compact device that shines infrared laser light through the skull and into the brain in one location and then uses a special camera nearby to collect the light that bounces back after it is scattered by blood flowing within the blood vessels. The approach, called speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS), measures the decrease in the light's intensity from the spot where it enters the skull to the place where the bounced-back light is collected to determine the volume of blood in the brain's blood vessels; it also looks at the way light scatters and creates speckles in the camera's field of view. The speckles fluctuate in images depending on the rate of blood flow in the blood vessels. The faster the blood is flowing, the more rapidly the speckle field changes."

"The researchers can use those measurements to calculate a ratio of the flow over the volume of blood streaming through the vessel to get an idea of that patient's stroke risk."

"Holding your breath stresses your brain as it begins to notice that it is taking in too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen. It goes into what Mahler refers to as 'panic mode,' and starts to pump oxygen from the rest of the body to itself. This greatly increases blood flow in the brain. Once you stop holding your breath, oxygen levels return to baseline. While this happens in both people at low and high risk of stroke, the researchers found that there were differences between the groups in terms of how the blood moved through the vessels."

"The SCOS technique allows the researchers to measure how much the blood vessels expand while the subject holds their breath and how much faster blood flows through the vessels in response. 'These reactive measurements are indicative of vessel stiffness,' Yang says. 'Our technology makes it possible to make these type of measurements noninvasively for the first time.'"

New Laser-based Headset Can Measure Blood Flow, Assess Risk of Stroke

Researchers in the lab of Caltech’s Changhuei Yang, along with colleagues from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, have developed a laser-based device that can measure blood flow noninvasively and differentiate stroke risk based on current...

Not-Vaxx Never Mandatory

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that #California’s attempt to #mandate the #Covid-19 shots was #illegal and that Jacobson v. Massachusetts did not apply because the #not-vaxx is not a #vaccine and the state could not claim a legitimate state interest in #forcing #medical #treatments that do not provide immunity.

#HealthFreedomDefenseFund et. al have won a significant #victory in the #NinthCircuit, which reversed dismissal of their lawsuit challenging the Los Angeles Unified School District’s (“LAUSD”) #mandatory #vaccination policy for all employees.

Reversing the decision of the Central District of California in #LosAngeles, the Ninth Circuit majority held that, first, the case was not mooted by #LAUSD’s rescission of the mandate after oral argument last September, 2023. The majority called out LAUSD’s gamesmanship for what it was – a bald-faced attempt at avoiding an adverse ruling by trying to create an issue of mootness. On the merits, the majority ruled that the district court had misapplied the #SupremeCourt’s 1905 decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts when it dismissed LAUSD’s lawsuit on grounds that the mandate was rationally related to a legitimate state interest. In Jacobson, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a smallpox vaccination mandate because it related to “preventing the spread” of smallpox.

The majority, however, noted that #HFDF had alleged in the lawsuit that the #COVID #jabs are not “traditional” vaccines because they do not prevent the spread of COVID-19 but only purport to mitigate COVID symptoms in the recipient. This, HFDF had alleged in its complaint, makes the COVID jab a medical treatment, not a vaccine.

The court recognized that mitigating symptoms rather than preventing the spread of disease “distinguishes Jacobson, thus presenting a different government interest.” Based on this reasoning, the majority disapproved the trial court’s contention that, even if the jabs do not prevent the spread, “Jacobson still dictates that the vaccine mandate is subject to, and survives, the rational basis test.”

The court held that “[t]his misapplies Jacobson,” which “did not involve a claim in which the compelled vaccine was ‘designed to reduce symptoms in the infected vaccine recipient rather than to prevent transmission and infection.”’ Jacobson does not, the majority concluded, extend to “forced medical treatment” for the benefit of the recipient.

The court declined to give any deference to pronouncements by the #CDC that the “COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.” As the court asked rhetorically, “safe and effective” for what? The majority pointed to HFDF’s allegation that CDC had changed the definition of “vaccine” in September 2021, striking the word “immunity” from that definition. The court also noted HFDF’s citations to CDC statements that the vaccines do not prevent transmission, and that natural immunity is superior to the vaccines.

In a separate concurrence, Judge Collins wrote that the district court “further erred by failing to realize that [HFDF’s] allegations directly implicate a distinct and more recent line of Supreme Court authority” for the proposition that “a competent person has a constitutionally protected liberty interest in refusing unwanted medical treatment[.]” Citing the Supreme Court’s decision in Washington v. Glucksberg, Judge Collins noted that the right to refuse unwanted medical treatment is “entirely consistent with this Nation’s history and constitutional traditions,” and that HFDF’s allegations in this case “are sufficient to invoke that fundamental right.”

It’s important to note, since this will not be the last attempt to at #global #depopulation, that most of the pragmatic appeals to getting #vaxxed have turned out to have been based on #false assumptions and #illegal actions by #corporations and various levels of #government.

Sigh, another rant, sort off.

My diagnosis followed by the conclusion not much can be done other than palliative care, in the shape of anti-testosterone treatment (and boy did I hit the jackpot for all side effects..) and 3 monthly checkups to see how far to the edge i have moved this time, has started to hit the ground, yeah the other shoe dropped, finally.
Somehow it is a relief, but also not what i wanne rant about.
Those that have read my previous post, know about the asshole dokter and his arrogant treatment in my local hospital, and I was so relieved to find a great one elsewhere.
But ---
(Yeah there always seems to be one)
He asked if we wanted to stay under his wing during my final run, and we agreed, in stead we are being tossed off from one or another dokter to again another.
And that happend, again, we had an appointment for a checkup, with MY dokter, but when i checked the app of the hospital, a strange name popped up.
WTF
Why?? Well, he is a specialist in anti-hormonal treatments, so yeah i see the need, but G.ddamn, how hard would it be to inform me about that?
To explain why? Tell me where I am heading, I am more than filled up with way way way to much fear and uncertainties to need a new load without any heads up.

Really, I get the switch, but FFS I do not wish to bear my soul again, I already feel like a nude slave on an auction block, in view of anyone and everyone, ready to be sold to the next interested 'buyer' :-(

I yeah, you are probably right that i am overreacting, but dammit my cup of emotional turmoil is a damn Olympic swimming-pool already and threatening to overflow, I just can not deal with this shit in a saner way at the moment :´-(

So, I write about it, almost sure no one will read it, but what the heck, who cares..

Cheers

- Fortunately, I saw this movie before Covid hit in 2020. It is astounding! I also read the South China Morning Post. There were early reports of a contagious respiratory disease. A small, red light, the size of a Christmas tree ornament was flashing.
When Covid was in full force, US officials, especially the Center for Disease Control (CDC) totally fucked up. I knew the history of major respiratory diseases in America, and the idiotic anti-masks groups. I refreshed my memory and read about those historical events again. History was repeating itself.
- To the best of my knowledge, I knew what to do, and avoid. I never contracted Covid. The ignorance I experienced during the worst of Covid was everywhere. It was high and wide, even in medical environments, no masks, crowded areas, little to no ventilation. I realized I was in ‘The Land of You’re On Your Own’.
History is going to repeat itself.

No one’s being honest about it - how Tory #NHS crisis forces patients to go private

You’ve got a trend there, which is the state government moving responsibility for paying for healthcare away from collective resources, taxpayer income, back on to the individual.

  • Nobody’s being honest about the extent to which this is happening.
  • No politician has stood up and advocated for it.

It’s a trend which has been happening increasingly over the past 30 years with Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem parties in charge.

By 1919 the Rockefeller General Education Board and the #Rockefeller Foundation had paid out
more than $5,000,000 to Johns Hopkins, Yale and Washington University in St. Louis medical
schools. In 1919 John D. Rockefeller granted another $20,000,000 in securities, “for the
advancement of medical education in the United States.” That would be comparable to about
$340 million today, a huge sum. In short the Rockefeller #money interests had #hijacked American

This #book details out the #esoteric #history of #biological #warfare in a way that no other book has done, based on only #official #records, #documents, #science and #medical journals, former intelligence officers, and more. The history of this #war goes much deeper than any other book on the subject has presented, based on understandings and studies of science that have been purposefully buried and obscured. The author collected and studied the work of one of history's most exceptional yet infamous pioneers in virology and immunology, a German scientist by the name of Dr. Erich Traub, for several years, in the process of writing this book, a process which perhaps no one else has managed to undertake, until now.

New Oxford University analysis has debunked #NHS privatisation

Oxford researchers looked at studies of healthcare #privatisation and found they agreed on one thing: privatisation leads to poorer quality care for patients.

Every month, private hospitals send 550 of their patients to the NHS because of an emergency they had while in the private hospital?

What’s more, in the last four years, 791 NHS patients who were transferred to be treated in private hospitals have sued for #medical #negligence - AND WON.

The evidence is crystal clear. Privatisation works for shareholders, not patients.
