Jeff explains that recent research has shown that traditional CAR T-cells can activate endogenous CD8+ T-cells, enhancing the overall anti-cancer effect - a phenomenon called a "bystander effect".

However, traditional CAR T-cell therapy requires pre-infusion lymphodepletion, which reduces the patient's immune system, depletes the majority of endogenous T cells, and limits this bystander effect.

In contrast, in vivo CAR T-cell therapy doesn't require lymphodepletion…

This retention of the host’s immune system (and tumor-reactive T cells) may potentially result in a more robust bystander effect, and greater overall therapeutic efficacy.

This could be particularly beneficial for treating solid tumors, which have greater antigen heterogeneity, and would benefit greatly from the activation of endogenous, tumor-reactive T cell clones.

While the field of In Vivo CAR technology is still young, Jeff suggests that it could be a promising approach for treating solid tumors due to this potential hidden advantage of an enhanced bystander effect.

America’s Healthcare Hierarchy

Victor S Dorodny MD, NMD, PhD, MPH - Medical Degree from Odessa Medical University with over 20+ Years in Family Medicine

In October of 1996 i was fortunate to have been invited to testify at the US House Select Committee on Innovative Healthcare Delivery Systems" I was even more fortunate to be in the company of my esteemed partner late Prof.Roman L. Yanda, a distinguished medical thinker and a prolific author & inventor. When asked, Prof. Yanda suggested that instead of throwing more money into the Medicare abbys, they should offer free paragliding lessons and deep discounts on actual gliders, as a way to combat expenditures at the end of life. In turn, yours truly was asked "...if there were two different levels of health care based on socio-economic status?"

My honest answer simply shocked the Members and their staff, as well as the official stenographer, so here are the main "levels of care"-might be unpleasant, but are totally realistic.

1. President, VP, Congressmen and families, heads of CIA. NSA. FBI ect

2. CEOs, Board members, and celebrities.

3. Hospital Board members, Administrators and their families. Major Donors & their families

4. Physicians and their family members

5. Nurses, hospital employees, their families, and cops.

6. Patients with "good" commercial insurance, PPO and ca$h paying patients

7. Patients with HMO insurance

8. Patients with Medicare/Medical insurance

9. Patients with "Covered California" insurance

10. IIllegal aliens

11 Jail/prison inmates

12. Working patients with no insurance

13. Homeless & transient

The worst part of the story, is that not much changed in the ensuing 28 years, as healthcare inequality is alive and well, and shows no signs of easing up. Everyone who is not Level 1-3, or Level 13, please hold on to your socks

The Science Behind TMS & Ketamine

Nicolas Hubacz, M.S. - Business Development Manager at Magstim Founder of NH Sponsorships

Ketamine 💉

1️⃣ Mechanism of Action: Ketamine, initially an anesthetic, shows rapid antidepressant effects by acting on the glutamate system. It antagonizes NMDA receptors, increasing glutamate release, which stimulates AMPA receptors. This enhances synaptic plasticity, strengthens neural connections, and promotes new synapse growth.

2️⃣ Rapid Onset: Unlike traditional antidepressants that take weeks, ketamine alleviates depressive symptoms within hours to days, making it a promising option for treatment-resistant depression or acute suicidal crisis.

3️⃣ Neuroplasticity: Ketamine promotes neuroplasticity, repairing damaged neural circuits associated with depression, contributing to sustained mood and cognitive improvements.

4️⃣ Administration: Ketamine can be administered via intravenous (IV) infusions, intranasal sprays, or oral formulations, with IV infusions being the most common in clinical settings.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) 🧲

1️⃣ Mechanism of Action: TMS uses magnetic fields to modulate neural activity. An electromagnetic coil placed on the scalp generates magnetic pulses that induce electrical currents in specific brain regions, either exciting or inhibiting neural activity.

2️⃣ Targeting Specific Brain Regions: TMS targets the prefrontal cortex, crucial for mood regulation. It helps balance activity in the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), improving mood and cognitive function.

3️⃣ Neuroplasticity: TMS promotes neuroplasticity, strengthening synaptic connections and enhancing the brain's ability to reorganize itself, contributing to long-lasting benefits.

4️⃣ Treatment Protocols: A typical TMS course involves daily sessions for 4-6 weeks, with each session lasting 30-40 minutes. It has minimal side effects, primarily mild scalp discomfort or headaches.
