The future of Knowledge or a dictator’s dream

A simple explanation of Echo Chambers (Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, WeChat, Messenger), all having between 1bn and 3bn users is de rigueur (strictly required) for the education of the younger generation, who have suffered over covid lockdowns at the mercy of hate peddlers and dissemblers in the virtual world of social media and destructive surrealism.

That understanding is essential so that they do not become victims of propaganda and the forked tongue of mountebank masquerading as ‘Mr Know-alls’ on social media platforms.

The remuneration policy of Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, WeChat, and Messenger, linked with number of viewers and slotting people into boxes ready for keyboard predators who ply their wares to different boxes. WhatsApp is now introducing secretive ticks so no one will know who what or why unless they have the right tick or ticks against their name.

The social isolation of families has been exacerbated by WhatsApp. Rather than speaking to people in person, they would rather WhatsApp. Self-esteem is impacted, and self-doubt develops as a result. Asking for something, mainly money, is easier by text than face to face.

Let us get back to meetings, phone calls and letters (emails).

WELL I NEVER” WHAT A LUCKY 79YR OLD MAN I AM

A Bug eat bug world

ANTIBIOTICS ARE vital to modern medicine. Their ability to kill bacteria without harming the patient has saved billions of lives directly and made everything from caesarean sections to chemotherapy much safer. Life expectancy would drop by a third if they did not exist. But after decades of overuse their powers are fading. Some bacteria have evolved resistance, creating a growing army of “superbugs” against which there is no effective treatment. Antimicrobial resistance is expected to kill 10m people a year by 2050, up from around 1m in 2019.

Microbiologists have known for decades that disease-causing bacteria can suffer from illnesses of their own. They are susceptible to attack by bacteriophages (“phages” for short): specialised viruses that infect bacteria, and often kill them.

The trouble with phages is that comparatively little is known about them. After the discovery of penicillin, the first antibiotic, in 1928, they were largely ignored in the West. Only the Soviet Union, powered by research and production facilities in Georgia, continued to use them. Given the gravity of the antibiotic-resistance problem, it would be a good idea to find out more.

A century ago, phages were the most promising tool in the antibacterial arsenal. Felix d’Herelle, a microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, used them to treat the first patient in 1919, after downing a dose himself to ensure they had no harmful effects. One of his colleagues was a young Georgian scientist named George Eliava, who returned home to found the institute that now bears his name.

But with the discovery of penicillin, the first antibiotic, in 1928, phages fell from favour. Production of penicillin surged during the second world war, crowding the phages out.

The first and so far only clinical trial on phages in Britain ended in 2009, concluding they were both safe and effective against an ear infection.

Although Dendritic cells were discovered in the 19th century, it was only at the beginning of the 21st century that their role in adaptive immunity was discovered. Ralph M. Steinman understood that the primed dendritic cells were capable of detecting and destroying malignant cancer cells in the body and for his work he was awarded the Nobel prize in Medicine in 2011.

Like macrophages and neutrophils, dendritic cells (DCs) are considered professional phagocytes. Even if the three cell types phagocytose parasites, bacteria, cell debris, or even intact cells very efficiently, the functional outcomes of the phagocytic event are quite different.

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, and it is the form of energy our body uses to fuel all the biological processes that keep us alive.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically target bacteria. Phage therapy involves using phages to treat bacterial infections. Phages are everywhere. From the soil to our guts, there are thousands of different types.31 Aug 2022

Probiophage Dairy Free is a specialised bacteriophage formulation combining four types of phages,  Proprietary Blend (Lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium longum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, bifidobacterium breve, lactobacillus casei, streptococcus thermophilus), PrePhage Bacteriophage Prebiotic Blend (LH01-Myoviridae, LL5-Siphoviridae, T4D-Myoviridae, LL12-Myoviridae).

Those of us 79yr olds need reminding of Christopher Lee in the ‘AVENGERS ‘ 1967 Never Never Say Die. Same hype just another day.
