Laminaria japonica is a large marine brown alga that is annually highly productive. However, due to its underutilization, its potential value is substantially wasted. For example, a lot of Laminaria japonica cellulose remains unused during production of algin. The soluble dietary fiber (SDF) was prepared from the byproducts of Laminaria japonica, and its physicochemical properties were explored. SDF exhibits good water-holding, oil-holding, water-absorbing swelling, glucose and cholesterol absorption capacity, and inhibitory activity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. In addition, the beneficial effects of SDF in diabetic mice include reduced body weight, lower blood glucose, and relieved insulin resistance. Finally, the intestinal flora and metabolomic products were analyzed from feces using 16S amplicon and LC-MS/MS, respectively. SDF not only significantly changed the composition and structure of intestinal flora and intestinal metabolites, but also significantly increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria Akkermansia, Odoribacter and Bacteroides, decreased the abundance of harmful bacteria Staphylococcus, and increased the content of bioactive substances in intestinal tract, such as harmine, magnolol, arachidonic acid, prostaglandin E2, urimorelin and azelaic acid. Taken together, these findings suggest that dietary intake of SDF alleviates type 2 diabetes mellitus disease, and provides an important theoretical basis for SDF to be used as a functional food.

In this brief communication we are showing original research results with early estimates from Danish nationwide databases of vaccine effectiveness (VE) against the novel SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) up to five months after a primary vaccination series with the BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 vaccines. Our study provides evidence of protection against infection with the Omicron variant after completion of a primary vaccination series with the BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 vaccines; in particular, we found a VE against the Omicron variant of 55.2% (95% confidence interval (CI): 23.5 to 73.7%) and 36.7% (95% CI: 69.9 to 76.4%) for the BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines, respectively, in the first month after primary vaccination. However, the VE is significantly lower than that against Delta infection and declines rapidly over just a few months. The VE is re-established upon revaccination with the BNT162b2 vaccine (54.6%, 95% CI: 30.4 to 70.4%). ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest. ### Funding Statement This study did not receive any funding ### Author Declarations I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained. Yes The details of the IRB/oversight body that provided approval or exemption for the research described are given below: We used only administrative register data for the study. According to Danish law, ethics approval is exempt for such research, and the Danish Data Protection Agency, which is a dedicated ethics and legal oversight body, thus waives ethical approval for our study of administrative register data, when no individual contact of participants is necessary and only aggregate results are included as findings. The study is therefore fully compliant with all legal and ethical requirements and there are no further processes available regarding such studies. I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived, and that any patient/participant/sample identifiers included were not known to anyone (e.g., hospital staff, patients or participants themselves) outside the research group so cannot be used to identify individuals. Yes I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance). Yes I have followed all appropriate research reporting guidelines and uploaded the relevant EQUATOR Network research reporting checklist(s) and other pertinent material as supplementary files, if applicable.

Background The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including among those who have received 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines, has increased substantially since Omicron was first identified in the province of Ontario, Canada. Methods Applying the test-negative design to linked provincial data, we estimated vaccine effectiveness against infection (irrespective of symptoms or severity) caused by Omicron or Delta between November 22 and December 19, 2021. We included individuals who had received at least 2 COVID-19 vaccine doses (with at least 1 mRNA vaccine dose for the primary series) and used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the effectiveness of two or three doses by time since the latest dose. Results We included 3,442 Omicron-positive cases, 9,201 Delta-positive cases, and 471,545 test-negative controls. After 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine, vaccine effectiveness against Delta infection declined steadily over time but recovered to 93% (95%CI, 92-94%) ≥7 days after receiving an mRNA vaccine for the third dose. In contrast, receipt of 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines was not protective against Omicron. Vaccine effectiveness against Omicron was 37% (95%CI, 19-50%) ≥7 days after receiving an mRNA vaccine for the third dose. Conclusions Two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect against infection by Omicron. A third dose provides some protection in the immediate term, but substantially less than against Delta. Our results may be confounded by behaviours that we were unable to account for in our analyses. Further research is needed to examine protection against severe outcomes. ### Competing Interest Statement K.W. is CEO of CANImmunize and serves on the data safety board for the Medicago COVID-19 vaccine trial.

While nutrient deficiencies increase loss of smell and taste, there are other reasons as well. Infections increase the utilization of zinc and vitamin A heavily which contributes to loss of smell and taste. However, if you've tried using quality zinc and vitamin A supplements to no avail, perhaps your sense of smell and taste is associated with higher levels of oxidative stress and deficiencies in various antioxidants. Infections increase the responsiveness by your immune system. An enhanced immune system increases oxidative stress. Why? To kill the pathogen. Oxidative stress kills bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Issue is oxidative stress also hurts us - our own organs - such as our heart and brain. If our immune system works hard for quite some time, we increase the risk of organ dysfunction. Increased oxidative stress in our brain may predispose us to loss of smell and taste. Thus, overcome the infection by supporting your immune system. Then clean up the damage caused by your immune system by using antioxidants. Antioxidants which are very effective for your brain and other areas: - PQQ - Glutathione - SOD - Alpha-R-Lipoic Acid - NAC Where to buy antioxidants: https://www.seekinghealth.com/collections/antioxidant-supplements Research: https://www.aarp.org/health/brain-health/info-2017/sense-of-smell-loss-dementia-fd.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5309413/pdf/OMCL2017-3496043.pdf https://elifesciences.org/articles/32018 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6625946/pdf/nihms-1013286.pdf https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1097/00005537-200211000-00031 https://dta0yqvfnusiq.cloudfront.net/nascent-health/2017/09/PQQ-Short-Version-59bd304fa70bf.pdf

Experienced hair loss after a viral infection? There are many types of hair loss. Specifically, I am discussing Telogen effluvium. It is the most common cause of diffuse hair shedding. There are many reasons why this can happen. I am focusing on one reason. 1. Folate deficiency Your immune system requires a lot of folate - especially Folinic Acid (NOT folic acid). Growth of hair requires a lot of folate as well - especially Folinic Acid. If your immune system uses the majority of your Folinic Acid, your hair is left with very little. The result? Your hair becomes undernourished and falls out. Folate and B12 work well together so it's best to support with a combination of both. Consider Hydroxo B12 with Folinic Acid Lozenges by Seeking Health to support healthy hair growth.* https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/hydroxo-b12-with-folinic-acid-60-lozenges research: https://jag.journalagent.com/ijmb/pdfs/IJMB-75047-ORIGINAL_INVESTIGATION-YORULMAZ_ERTUG.pdf 2. Stress / Anxiousness There is a lot of stress going on right now and this, too, is associated with hair loss. A woman mentioned to me on Instagram that she has been successfully using Optimal Adrenal to support her stress response. A noted 'side effect' was that her hair also came in thicker and fully. It was an unexpected benefit that she shared with me. It makes sense. There's a lot of research looking at stress and hair loss https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/expert-answers/stress-and-hair-loss/faq-20057820 If you're struggling with anxiousness or stressful situations, consider Optimal Adrenal by Seeking Health to support a healthy stress response.* https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/optimal-adrenal-90-capsules *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Watch Episode 1: Vaccine Truth: Dispelling the Myths This first episode is packed with the TRUTH about the vaccine. We’ve gathered a group of top vaccine experts who have tried to get the information to you but, instead, have been censored and suppressed. PLUS, we have a special BRAND NEW BONUS EPISODE tonight, featuring Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Bryan Ardis. You’ll discover the alarming answers to questions about the vaccine that the “experts” don’t want you to know. What Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist and cardiologist in Dallas, Texas, had to say about the deadly spike protein will leave you speechless. Even U.S. federal agencies are trying to cover up the research coming out about the harmful vaxx (unsuccessfully, as Dr. McCullough reveals). He goes into detail about the hundreds and hundreds of cases all around the world of top athletes dropping dead on the playing field. This is extremely alarming to hear. And the rest of what he covers includes even more disturbing studies, revealing data about vaxxed victim’s autopsies and shocking news you won't hear anywhere else. Dr. Bryan Ardis dives into numerous disturbing facts that will leave your brain spinning. For example, why are male teenagers showing 20x the heart problems after the jab than the CDC expected (surely they told the FDA about this, right?) And you have to hear what he had to say about the shocking statement he found in the American Heart Association’s Circulation Journal regarding what they’ve seen happening to patients’ hearts after receiving the jab… Turns out it has been a MASSIVE coverup. Who would have guessed that? Dr. Ardis also discusses the one disease happening after the jab that’s worrying doctors all over the world (once diagnosed, 20% will die in 2 years, 50% will die in 5 years). You need to hear this directly from Dr. Ardis himself, for your own safety.
