Looking at DNA Testing, Measles, Science News + Q&A - 3/4/26

Tom opens this week’s livestream with two announcements:
 -The Wednesday webinar for March 4th, 2026, begins with Tom thanking the community and sharing that the page has reached 100,000 followers on Facebook.
 -Tom also shares news about the New Biology Experience in Virginia: musicians Brendan, Mike, and Jude plan to attend, performing two short concerts and possibly leading a singing workshop. Registration is still open.

Highlights from this session include:
 -A brief comment on Tourette’s, referencing a Saturday Night Live clip and noting that he may return to discuss Tourette’s and other neurological diseases in the future.
 -A discussion about DNA testing and heredity, where Tom shares examples meant to question the reliability of consumer DNA testing companies.
 -A continuation of his critique of the measles narrative, focusing on how doctors historically diagnosed measles before molecular testing and quoting clinicians who say measles can resemble many other respiratory or rash illnesses.
 -A segment of science news, including commentary on a reported “image of atoms,” and discussion of research on giant viruses such as mimivirus.
 -A discussion about apricot seeds (laetrile / vitamin B17), where Tom shares personal experience eating small amounts daily and discusses the difference between whole foods and isolated compounds.
 -Tom also mentions investigating Essiac, a traditional herbal formula, and shares that he and his wife have begun trying it themselves.
 -A discussion about the historical question of why Native Americans died during colonization, referencing the work of Dawn Lester and emphasizing factors such as displacement, starvation, and violence rather than infectious disease narratives.
 -A long discussion about osteoporosis and DEXA scans, including clinical stories from early in Tom’s career that shaped his thinking about bone density, arterial calcification, and the role of bone matrix, diet, and movement.

A thoughtful Q&A on:
 -What do I think about apricot seeds?
 -What really caused the massive deaths among native peoples—was it disease alone?
 -What about osteoporosis?
 -Do I have any suggestions for somebody, unfortunately living in a war zone and the stress and the fear?

Tom closes the session by thanking the audience again for their continued support and inviting viewers to check out the New Biology Experience.
