This App Fights Acne!

By
Ray Bradford is convinced technology will change the way we interact with our doctors. And it starts with an iPhone app that lets you get prescription drugs for your acne.

 With Spruce, out today, Bradford’s taking a fresh approach to the strange emerging phenomenon known as telemedicine. The app doesn’t try to pipe appointments over video calls. It doesn’t attempt to put a doctor in your pocket. Instead of doing a bunch of things awkwardly, it aims to treat just one condition–acne–very well.

Best Whey Protein Powders in Malaysia for 2023: Which One Should You Buy?

By
Image
If you're looking to build muscle, boost your performance, and make the most out of all your hard work in the gym, whey protein is the way to go. Research suggests that using whey protein powder along with resistance training can help maintain lean body mass and increase upper and lower-body strength. But walk through the aisles of any supplement store, and you'll see a wide variety of different protein types. So why whey? One of the major benefits of using whey protein is that it contains a wide range amino acids not seen in plant-based protein products, like pea or hemp proteins, says Marie Spano, M.S., sports nutritionist for the Atlanta Hawks, Braves, and Falcons. There is also an abundance of essential amino acids in whey protein, one of which is leucine. Leucine is needed to 'turn on' muscle building at a cellular level, according to Mike Roussell, Ph.D., author of The Meta Shred Diet. But keep in mind — you need to put in the work in the gym for your w...

Is Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint Longevity Mix a breakthrough? - New York Post

By
Image
Who doesn’t want to shed a few years? I’m still in my twenties and feel healthy enough to survive the hustle and bustle of New York City. But, this idea of reversing the clock has been scratching my mind lately. Ever since I watched “Don’t Die” on Netflix, I’ve wondered, Can you really turn back the hands of time? Anti-aging biohacker  Bryan Johnson  seems to think the answer to my question is  yes , and claims that his  Blueprint Protocol  could be key to unlocking more years. So I did what I had to do. I drank the Kool-Aid, in the form of his almost-$50, hot pink  Longevity Mix  sold on Amazon. Will it add years to my life? I’m not sure yet. But, I do have some other reflections to share. I know I’m not alone in my fear of aging. For centuries, our culture has been oriented around preserving youth, both mentally and physically — especially for women subject to severe beauty trends portrayed on social media. But, the idea of ...

Biological Age & Epigenetic Clock Test Comparison: The 2026 US Consumer & HSA/FSA Guide

By
Image
Quick Answer: In 2026, US consumers can access premium biological age kits directly online without a primary doctor's prescription. GlycanAge measures chronic systemic inflammation via IgG immune structures and is fully HSA/FSA eligible. TruDiagnostic's TruAge Complete utilizes advanced DNA methylation algorithms (like DunedinPACE) to track cellular aging speeds. While both offer seamless domestic shipping, TruAge may require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) for tax-account reimbursement depending on your specific benefits administrator. Your birth certificate tells you your chronological age, but it says nothing about your cellular reality. If you are actively practicing metabolic therapies, cycling longevity supplements (like NAD+ precursors or senolytics), or maintaining a strict lifestyle intervention, tracking your biological age is the only objective way to verify if your daily habits are working or if you are accelerating systemic decline. In ...

Ivermectin for Parkinson’s and Dementia: Analyzing the Neuroprotective Molecular Evidence and Clinical Case Reports (2026)

By
Image
Scientific Review & Regulatory Audit by the Clinical Editorial Team The therapeutic paradigm for progressive neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease (PD) and various forms of dementia faces a critical bottleneck. Standard pharmacology, primarily anchored by levodopa (L-DOPA) for Parkinson’s and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for dementia, remains strictly symptomatic. These options frequently suffer from diminishing efficacy and significant side-effect profiles like L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia over long-term use. Consequently, the pharmaceutical community has focused heavily on drug repurposing—identifying established, safety-vetted compounds capable of crossing pathways to modify disease progression. An unexpected frontline candidate emerging in this space is ivermectin. Traditionally classified as a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent, a surge of preclinical studies between 2020 and 2024 has unveiled its complex, multi-targeted pharmacodynamics within the mam...

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide

By
Image
As of May 2024, there are more than 4,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to ex...

Stem Cell Therapy for Knees in Malaysia: Singaporeans heading to Malaysia for Knee Stem Cell Therapy | CNA

By
Image
When scans last year showed significant damage to his knee cartilage, Mr Johnny Lam started looking for solutions. For years, the 58-year-old had endured pain and swelling in both knees but this condition had become unbearable, making it excruciating to walk and affecting his active lifestyle. Cartilage acts as a shock-absorbing cushion between bones at the joints. When the cartilage is damaged, bones can rub against each other, resulting in pain and inflammation. Recalling his consultation with a doctor at Sengkang General Hospital, Mr Lam said he was told that his only option was a total replacement of both knees. However, with replacements typically lasting 15 to 20 years, and given his relatively young age, the doctor advised him to do it later to avoid having to get a possible second replacement. “I couldn’t accept that and didn’t want to just wait for the surgery because it was already very painful to the point where it hurt even to walk or stand,” he told CNA. “I was worried tha...
