A Kiss is but a Kiss

Kissing triggers a “cocktail” of brain chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin that cause feelings of pleasure, bonding, and attachment. It also involves neural messages from the lips, which are highly sensitive, and can lower stress hormones like cortisol. Beyond these effects, kissing can serve biological purposes like assessing a partner and strengthening the immune system by exposing the body to new germs.

Kissing activates an intense sensory experience. Human lips and tongues are densely packed with sensory neurons that send a flood of information to the brain’s somatosensory cortex, a region that is highly stimulated by the mouth compared to other body parts. This sensory input, combined with the activation of five of the twelve cranial nerves, creates a thrilling and emotionally charged sensation

 Dopamine: This “feel-good” chemical is released in the brain’s pleasure centers, potentially leading to cravings and addictive feelings associated with kissing.

Oxytocin: Known as the “love hormone,” oxytocin is released during kissing, fostering feelings of bonding, trust, and attachment.

Serotonin This neurotransmitter is also released, which can contribute to feelings of happiness and affection, and in some studies has been linked to obsessive thoughts about a partner.

Cortisol:  Levels of this stress hormone decrease during a kiss, helping to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.

Neural stimulation and sensory input The lips are packed with a high concentration of nerve endings, more so than many other parts of the body, which send a large amount of sensory information to the brain. This stimulation can lead to a more intense brain response than other physical sensations, contributing to the pleasure and emotional connection associated with kissing.

MATE SELECTION Kissing may have evolved as a way to “taste” a potential partner, gathering information about genetic compatibility and health through saliva. (proving the point you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince!)

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT By exchanging germs through kissing, partners can expose each other to new bacteria, which can help strengthen their immune systems over time.

BONDING Kissing reinforces social bonds, whether romantic, platonic, or familial. It can signal affection and create a sense of closeness.

Understanding Hypothyroidism

By Stephanie Walsh

Posted on June 9, 2025

Your thyroid gland is a tiny butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of your neck near the Adam’s apple. Despite its tiny size, the thyroid has a big job controlling energy production for every cell in the body.

The thyroid’s main role is regulating metabolism through two hormones – thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). T4 is an inactive form which gets converted into T3 in the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, brain and muscles. It is the active form of T3 that stimulates cells to produce energy.

The thyroid works in concert with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to regulate thyroid hormone production. But, the health of your thyroid is also intricately tied to the health of your gastrointestinal tract, gut microbiome, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands and even your immune system.

Problems with thyroid function arise when something throws off the delicate balance between any of these connections. Eventually thyroid hormone production gets out of whack, conversion of thyroid hormone into its active form falters, and/or thyroid tissue gets damaged. This is when your thyroid, and overall health, gets compromised.

The Causes

Hypothyroidism is described as an under-active thyroid gland or the inability to convert inactive thyroid hormone to its active form. Because of the complexity of what may influence thyroid function, there are many potential causes of hypothyroidism.

The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are constantly monitoring thyroid hormone levels, so any dysfunction in this network will compromise thyroid health. Here are some additional ways the thyroid may be effected.

• Serotonin and/or Dopamine Deficiency: Insufficient levels of serotonin or dopamine will hinder communication between the hypothalamus and thyroid, decreasing thyroid hormone production.

• Blood Sugar Imbalance: Hypoglycemia, insulin resistance and diabetes will decrease serotonin and dopamine production and suppress pituitary function which, in turn, reduces thyroid hormone production.

• Systemic Inflammation: Chronic infections, Lyme disease, food intolerances, insulin resistance, molds and toxins can damage the hypothalamus and affect its communication with the thyroid.

• Autoimmune Disease: Autoimmunity is when the immune system attacks healthy cells, which could include the thyroid.

• Gut Dysfunction: If stomach acid and digestive enzyme production are suboptimal, or the gut lining is compromised and “leaky,” absorption of nutrients vital for thyroid health is greatly reduced. Additionally, healthy gut flora converts 20% of the body’s T3, which means gut dysbiosis will reduce conversion of thyroid hormone to its active form.

• Liver Dysfunction: If the liver is not working optimally, the body cannot clear excess estrogen and environmental toxins, compromising thyroid health.

• Chronic Stress: Chronic stress will lead to adrenal fatigue, reduced stomach acid production, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut syndrome, compromised immunity, blood sugar imbalance, systemic inflammation, improper liver detoxification, and suppressed pituitary function. All of these are detrimental to thyroid hormone production.

The Symptoms

If you have one or more of the following symptoms, you may have hypothyroidism:

• Fatigue

• Depression

• Poor concentration

• Forgetfulness

• Weight gain or the inability to lose weight

• Constipation

• Food sensitivities, especially gluten

• Muscle soreness and pain

• Puffy face

• Dry and brittle hair and nails

• Dry, flaky skin

• Cold hands and feet

• Thinning outer third of eyebrows

• Heavy menstrual periods

• Infertility

• High cholesterol

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own healthy thyroid tissue. This condition arises from an overactive immune system, not from thyroid dysfunction. So understanding what’s putting your immunity into overdrive is key to treating and managing the disease.

The primary cause for an overcharged immune system is inflammation. If the inflammatory process never gets a rest, it stays in overdrive. This can occur because of:

• Infections

• Injuries

• Overload of toxins

• Diet lacking in antioxidants

• Intestinal permeability or “leaky gut”

Additionally, having another autoimmune disease, such as Type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis can increase your risk of Hashimoto’s.

Thyroid and Gut Health

A leaky gut is not just a source of inflammation, it is a cog in a vicious cycle that spirals out of control. It starts with a disruption in the gut lining – from food intolerances, alcohol, stress, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, candida overgrowth, or fatty acid deficiency.

This leads to improper absorption of food which creates an immune response. The immune response creates immune complexes that settle in the gut lining and create inflammation. This inflammation continues to damage the gut lining which leads to food intolerances, more disruption in the lining, more malabsorption, more inflammation and more leaky gut.

Gut health is very important for immune and thyroid health. Over 70% of your immune system is in the gut, and 20% of circulating T4 is converted to T3 by an enzyme in your gastrointestinal tract. If the gut lining is compromised your immunity weakens and your production of active thyroid hormone decreases.

Additionally, the protein structure of gluten is very similar to thyroid tissue which can create the perfect storm leading to Hashimoto’s. It is a trifecta of autoimmune risk – a compromised gut, an overactive immune system, and a diet high in gluten. When your immune system mounts an attack on gluten, it also mistakenly attacks healthy thyroid tissue. This is the very definition of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

Getting Back into Balance

Taking steps to enhance immunity, optimize gut health, reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar and support the liver are all important for thyroid health. Here are 6 tips to support your thyroid and overall health:

• Exercise. Choose a mix of short cardio sessions and strength training.

• Manage Stress. Find a work-life balance, discover activities you find relaxing and joyful.

• Eat every 2-4 hours. This is an easy way to balance blood sugar and support the thyroid.

• Eat a diet low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, protein and veggies.

• Choose Organic. Reducing pesticide and toxin exposure will support all aspects of health.

• Avoid soy, gluten, dairy and sugar. All of these foods compromise thyroid function.

• Cook Certain Foods. Kale, cabbage, turnips, sweet potatoes, kelp, broccoli and Brussel sprouts have goitrogen – a compound that inhibits iodine uptake by the thyroid. But, lightly cooking them will inhibit this negative effect.

Foods for Thyroid Health

In addition to the above, certain foods and supplements can help get thyroid function back into balance.

• Selenium. This mineral assists with conversion to T3, reduces inflammation and protects the thyroid. Food sources: Brazil nuts, salmon, free-range eggs, and mushrooms.

• Vitamin D. This vitamin is key for regulating the immune system. Food sources: Salmon, free-range eggs, and mushrooms.

• Magnesium. This mineral helps balance blood sugar, supports serotonin production, and assists the pituitary-thyroid connection. Food sources: Leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, almonds, bananas and avocados.

• Vitamin C. This vitamin enhances immunity, repairs the gut lining and reduces inflammation. Food sources: strawberries, cantaloupe, and sweet potato.

74% of ALL Deaths ‘Directly’ Linked to Covid Shots, Autopsy Data Shows

74% of ALL Deaths ‘Directly’ Linked to Covid Shots, Autopsy Data Shows

Frank Bergman

Posted on August 1, 2024

A damning new study has revealed that autopsy data shows Covid mRNA shots have overwhelmingly contributed to all-cause deaths around the world.

The bombshell study found that Covid shots are “directly” linked to a staggering 73.9% of all deaths.

The research team behind the study was made up of some of America’s leading oncologists, cardiologists, doctors, and scientists, including:

• Nicolas Hulscher
• Paul E. Alexander
• Richard Amerling
• Heather Gessling
• Roger Hodkinson
• William Makis
• Harvey A. Risch
• Mark Trozzi
• Peter A. McCullough

The study found that 73.9% of all deaths were “directly due to or significantly contributed to” by Covid mRNA injections.

The autopsy data exposes a direct link “between COVID-19 vaccination and death,” the researchers note in their study’s paper.

In the “Background” section of the study’s paper, the researchers explain:

“The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines, combined with a high number of adverse event reports, has led to concerns over possible mechanisms of injury including systemic lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and mRNA distribution, Spike protein-associated tissue damage, thrombogenicity, immune system dysfunction, and carcinogenicity.

“The aim of this systematic review is to investigate possible causal links between COVID-19 vaccine administration and death using autopsies and post-mortem analysis.”

In the “Methods” section, they note:

“We searched PubMed and ScienceDirect for all published autopsy and necropsy reports relating to COVID-19 vaccination up until May 18th, 2023.

“All autopsy and necropsy studies that included COVID-19 vaccination as an antecedent exposure were included.

“Because the state of knowledge has advanced since the time of the original publications, three physicians independently reviewed each case and adjudicated whether or not COVID-19 vaccination was the direct cause or contributed significantly to death.”

The research team initially identified 678 studies.

After screening for our inclusion criteria, the researchers included 44 papers for the study that contained 325 autopsy cases and one necropsy case.

The mean average age of death was 70.4 years.

The most implicated organ system among cases was the cardiovascular (49%), followed by hematological (17%), respiratory (11%), and multiple organ systems (7%).

Three or more organ systems were affected in 21 cases.

The mean time from vaccination to death was 14.3 days.

Most deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration.

A total of 240 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination.

Among those directly linked to Covid shots, the primary causes of death include:

• Sudden cardiac death (35%)
• Pulmonary embolism (12.5%)
• Myocardial infarction (12%)
• VITT (7.9%)
• Myocarditis (7.1%)
• Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (4.6%)
• Cerebral hemorrhage (3.8%).

In the “Conclusions” section of the paper, the authors write:

“The consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine mechanisms of injury and death, coupled with autopsy confirmation by physician adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death.

“Further urgent investigation is required for the purpose of clarifying our findings.”

The researchers warn that findings “indicate the urgent need to elucidate the pathophysiologic mechanisms of death with the goal of risk stratification and avoidance of death for the large numbers of individuals who have taken or will receive one or more COVID-19 vaccines in the future.”

The study comes amid a growing body of evidence linking the Covid mRNA injections to multiple deadly health conditions and related sudden deaths.

As Slay News recently reported, another bombshell new global study of 2.7 billion people has just determined that COVID-19 did not cause any excess deaths during or after the pandemic, despite widespread claims to the contrary from health agencies around the world.

However, the same explosive study has revealed that Covid mRNA shots, which were supposedly unleashed on the public to tackle the virus, have caused millions of excess deaths globally.

The study’s comprehensive 521-page report contains hundreds of figures and a detailed examination of excess all-cause mortality during the years 2020 to 2023 in 125 countries.

The dataset analysed by the researchers comprises approximately 2.7 billion people which is about 35% of the world’s population.

The researchers calculated that the global death toll associated with Covid mRNA shots, up to 30 December 2022, was 16.9 million people.

Actress Succumbs to Assisted Suicide Following Covid-19 Booster Injuries

Actress Succumbs to Assisted Suicide Following Covid-19 Booster Injuries

By Jim Hoft

Posted on July 7, 2023

Katarina Pavelek, a Slovakian actress known for her work on Fox Sports Live (2013), The Mindy Project (2012), and Marry Me (2014), died earlier this month in Liestal, Switzerland following an assisted suicide.

The model and actress had received her Covid-19 booster shot a year ago, which she believed would enhance her immune system.

Tragically, Pavelek experienced significant health deterioration thereafter, according to Evie Magazine.

The outlet reported:

Like most people, Pavelek thought the jab would improve her immune system – instead, it did the opposite, and she suffered heavily as a result.

Pavelek was diagnosed with an incurable chronic neurological illness known as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a long-term illness with a wide range of symptoms that affects daily activities. At times, this condition may confine people to their beds. ME/CFS can worsen if individuals with this illness overwork themselves. The model was also suspected to have respiratory ALS, a neurodegenerative disorder that weakens the muscles involved in breathing and swallowing.

According to CDC, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling and complex illness. People with ME/CFS are often not able to do their usual activities. At times, ME/CFS may confine them to bed. People with ME/CFS have overwhelming fatigue that is not improved by rest. ME/CFS may get worse after any activity, whether it’s physical or mental.

People with ME/CFS may not look ill. However,

• People with ME/CFS are not able to function the same way they did before they became ill.
• ME/CFS changes people’s ability to do daily tasks, like taking a shower or preparing a meal.
• ME/CFS often makes it hard to keep a job, go to school, and take part in family and social life.
• ME/CFS can last for years and sometimes leads to serious disability.
• At least one in four ME/CFS patients is bed- or house-bound for long periods during their illness.

Pavelek publicly addressed her thousands of followers on Instagram on June 1, 2023, announcing her heartbreaking decision to end her life due to the severity of her illness.

“Hi guys, over last 10 days I became severely ill again homebound unable to do much. My body is too weak to fight this illness and I have no more strength so I made decision to end my life at Pegasos association in Switzerland. I was diagnosed with untreatable chronic neurological illness,” Pavelek wrote.

“ME/CFS caused by booster jab on top of having suspected respiratory ALS. This illness made me disabled, unable to work or have social life and unable to enjoy life all together. Breathing have become more and more difficult and painful for me and my lung function has been declining. Thank you for all your friendship and support over last year,” she added.

Pavelek expressed her belief that the booster jab she had received had been the catalyst for her deteriorating health.

“The booster jab I received over year ago destroyed my health, my body and my life completely. There is no other way to end my suffering other than the decision I made,” she concluded.

Pavelek’s experience is not isolated. She is one of the millions who have reported adverse reactions following the administration of the experimental Covid-19 vaccine.

Rest in peace.
