Martin Couney never held a medical license, but he saved more than 7,000 premature babies over the course of his lifetime — by exhibiting them in incubators at his Coney Island sideshow.

Back in the early 1900s, many eugenicists had popularized the belief that premature babies were destined for death and not worth saving. But Couney challenged that idea with his exhibition, which he created after he saw chicken incubators being used as "child hatcheries" at the Chicago World's Fair. He saw firsthand how incubators could bring vulnerable infants back from the brink of death and was eager to replicate that success. And by the time his Coney Island sideshow closed in 1943, nearly every hospital in America had adopted his machines.

🚨 Alarming findings from a major Japanese autopsy study: Researchers Dr. Tomomi Koizumi (cardiologist) and Dr. Masao Ono (pathologist) discovered multiple micro-scars in the hearts of people who died from sudden cardiac arrest after receiving Covid mRNA shots.

Published in JACC: Case Reports, their study examined three cases—two elderly women and a middle-aged man—who had no significant coronary artery blockages or other obvious heart issues. Yet, autopsies revealed tiny scars (avg. 211 μm wide) scattered across their hearts, spaced about 383 μm apart, suggesting vaccine-induced damage to the microvasculature. The researchers propose this "multifocal microvascular scarring" (MMS) could be a unique marker of mRNA vaccine harm, possibly linked to inflammation and micro-clots.

With heart failure and sudden deaths surging globally, this study exposes the truth AGAIN: they’re pushing these shots for profit, not public health. 💰

Scientists in Japan Develop Drug to Regrow Human Teeth

The idea of regrowing teeth may seem like science fiction, but in Japan, it’s edging closer to reality. Leading this groundbreaking effort is Dr. Katsu Takahashi, an oral surgeon based at Kitano Hospital in Osaka. His team has discovered that humans possess dormant tooth buds—a third set of teeth that typically remain undeveloped.

Their research pinpointed a protein, USAG-1, which inhibits these buds from forming. By creating an antibody drug to neutralize this protein, the scientists have triggered tooth regrowth, achieving success first in mice and ferrets, and now advancing to human trials.

The journey began in the 1990s at Kyoto University, with a pivotal moment in 2005 when mice deficient in USAG-1 sprouted additional teeth.

Fast forward to 2024, and clinical trials in Kyoto are underway, targeting adults who have lost molars. Looking ahead, the team plans to test the drug in 2025 on children born with missing teeth. If successful, this cutting-edge treatment could render dentures obsolete, with a projected availability by 2030 and an estimated price tag of $9,800 per procedure.

Significant hurdles remain, including ensuring the teeth grow correctly and confirming the therapy’s durability in humans. Yet, with Japan’s aging demographic in focus, this advancement holds the potential to redefine dental care entirely.
