Covid-19 Update: Stay Vigilant
RVAchironeuro • November 23, 2020
Hello everyone:
Some good news this week about the potential for vaccines becoming available soon. While there are still a lot of unanswered questions about these vaccines and possible caveats, it often happens that when people hear of the positive vaccine news, many may let their guard down. This type of reaction seems normal, that is, it has been reported in the medical and psychologic literature before as it relates to situations like we are currently in.
In reality, this is absolutely NOT the time to let your guard down. We will continue to need to focus on preventive and protective measures even if the vaccine arrived tomorrow. This is due to the nature of multiple factors:
- It may take more than a year to get enough vaccine
- It can take months to know how well the vaccine works.
- Current studies are on healthy volunteers, we do not know how this will work on those with comorbidities, chronic health conditions, children or the elderly.
- The full data has not been published yet, just several press releases.
- The logistics of mass vaccinations with vaccines that need to be shipped and stored at below zero temperatures will be challenging and may take extra time.
- The pandemic is surging NOW, which means, we all need to take preventive and protective measures this very moment and not wait.
Bottom Line:
- Keep masking and socially distancing.
- Avoid gatherings of more than 10 and keep your distance and mask on.
- Keep up with the preventive measures that I have recently outlined and summarized in a previous blog.
- Do whatever you can to improve your health and reduce the possible effect of any comorbid health condition(s) you may have.
- Review these previous blogs for more vital information.

Health News Update: Pesticides, Cancer & Why Go Organic 6.29.26 Hello everyone: Slowly but surely, despite the health and food industries downplaying the risks, evidence is emerging that the long-term consumption of trace amounts of toxic chemicals can add up to some serious health consequences. “Our process-based model, encompassing 31 key pesticide active ingredients, together with an innovative stratification of cancer cases by developmental lineage, reveals a robust spatial association between environmental pesticide exposure risk and cancer incidence. In pesticide-associated cancer hotspots, exposomic profiling of liver tissue—a primary target of chemical carcinogens—uncovers a distinct transcriptomic signature of pesticide exposure, implicating a non-genotoxic mode of action that disrupts core regulatory circuitries sustaining cell identity. Collectively, these findings strongly support a mechanistic link between pesticide exposure and cancer, challenging assumptions of human non-carcinogenicity derived from reductionist experimental models. This study redefines the exposome as a lineage-conditioned, mechanistically tractable framework and shows how complex pesticide mixtures can contribute to carcinogenic trajectories, with profound and far-reaching implications for global health policy and socio-ecological equity.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s44360-026-00087-0 pesticide exposure & cancer risks Bottom Line: Whenever possible, purchase your food from organic sources including local farmers that use regenerative and organic practices. Not all foods need to be organic, and to decide which ones absolutely need to be, you can access the Environmental Working Group’s yearly list of the Dirty Dozen foods that are the highest in pesticide residues. This will also include the Clean 15 foods that do not need to be organic as they are usually grown without or with very low pesticide levels. https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php dirty dozen food guide Additionally, high quality nutrients support the natural detox processes our bodies use to get rid of any and all toxins. When we consume the Standard American Diet or Westernized Diet, we are low in the nutrients and co-factors needed to support optimal detox cleansing. So always start with food upgrades as they will carry your upgrade the farthest. Remember that most chronic health conditions start 20 years before you even notice them creeping up or becoming diagnosed. What you do now is creating your future. It used to be said that you are what you eat. Another way to say that is we become what we eat…so please take good care and make sure you always put high grade fuel into your Temple.
