New Documentary: The Two Men Destroying America
Dear Reader,

This is causing a lot of controversy… 
 
It’s a new documentary called The Two Men Destroying America. 
 
And a lot of powerful people would rather this exposé never saw the light of day. Chances are, they’ll attempt to have it scrubbed from existence.  
 
That’s because it tells the true (and terrifying) story of how two men from New York have engineered a reset of not just your personal wealth, but the entire US economic system.

Good News Israel, Michael Ordman

It's all go in Israel. As if to answer the Biblical demand to "Let My People Go", Israelis have certainly been "on the go" since my last newsletter. In fact I had to go over my self-imposed limit of 50 positive news items, otherwise I would never have caught up.

Israeli scientists are going all out, to make debilitating medical conditions go away. Cancer, diabetes, reflux, muscle pain, heart arrhythmia, cerebral hemorrhage, and respiratory diseases will one day be gone, thanks to Israeli medical breakthroughs. So will religious intolerance, landmines, glass ceilings, water scarcity, pollution, and infant death from heart deformities - all being targeted by Israelis going beyond the call of duty to make a better world.

Israeli technology has gone into orbit again with the launch of another satellite; it has made robots go so small that they can control where individual cells go; it can analyze where tiny fragments of broken objects should go; it can find where lost children or missing luggage has gone. Israeli unemployment has gone down again, supermarket prices should also begin to go down soon; Israeli startups are working to make the cost of health care go down; and during Passover visitors can go for free to many Israeli sites and museums.

The photo (TY Sharon) was taken at the recent Jerusalem marathon.  Just see our people go!


Because of the upcoming Passover festival, I plan to publish my next newsletter in two weeks' time on Sun 16th Apr.  I wish all my readers celebrating Pesach, Easter or Ramadan, a very happy holiday.

ISRAEL’S MEDICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
 
Breakthrough discovery about pancreatic cancer. (TY Nevet & I24) An international study let by Hebrew University researchers has discovered that pancreatic cancer spreads (metastasis) due to reduced levels of the RNA controlling protein RBFOX2. The finding provides a new target for pancreatic cancer treatments.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05820-3
 
How the gut impacts cancer treatment. A Weizmann Institute-led international team of researchers has found how bacteria in the gut microbiome affects the body’s response to cancer immunotherapy (see also here previously). Also, patients treated with specific antibiotics had a poor response to CAR-T cancer treatment.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/368694
 
Diagnosing pre-diabetes from gut microbes. Bar-Ilan University scientists have been able to early diagnose gestational diabetes – glucose intolerance that 10% of women suffer during pregnancy. Analysis of gut bacteria highlights inflammation even in the first trimester, giving vital time for treatment and lifestyle changes.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/369075
 
No-pill treatment for acid reflux. (TY Hazel & Sidney) Specialists at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Centre have performed a simple endoscopic procedure, for the first time in Israel, that successfully treats patients suffering from heartburn acid reflux. It reconstructs a valve, avoiding more complex surgery or pills.
https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/article-734163
 
Hereditary disease treatment may cure statin pain. Researchers from Ben Gurion University and Soroka Medical Center developed Methylmevalonolactone to save sufferers of a rare deadly hereditary muscle disease. They are now testing it as a treatment for tens of thousands of sufferers of chronic muscle pain due to statins.

Pioneering brain cooling saves Philippine woman. (TY UWI) Doctors at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek hospital saved Philippine caregiver Nurila, who suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Medication, catheter, and surgery didn’t stop blood flow, so her brain was cooled to 33 deg C for 8 days. The bleeding stopped and Nurila is now well.
