Never heard of Novamin but doesn't look promising?

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7068624/

Conclusion Review shows that Novamin has significantly less clinical evidence to prove its effectiveness as a remineralization agent in treating both carious and non-carious lesion. Hence, better designed clinical trials should be carried out in the future before definitive recommendations can be made.

The physical body is what the mental state (ex, memories) "looks like" from a third person perspective.

Where does the energy stored in the 3D structure come from? How does it get infused with said energy?

How do you "enter a cell" without exerting energy?

Okay so following your analogy, viruses are like subcomponents of an engine.

How are subcomponents of an engine moving in space without ever exerting energy? I can imagine how this can happen infrequently but can't see how this propagation (movement without energy) is sustainable.

I really do not understand viruses.

Given that viruses do not have a metabolism and are not able to produce their own energy, how do these satellite viruses then survive off of other viruses?

I don't even understand how without energy producing mechanisms viruses can survive, propagate, etc.

Can anybody recommend any good books on the matter?

I also vouch for Bernardo. I have read all his books.

His approach, reasoning and explanations have been very appealing to my analytical Mind.

I go for a 3 to 4 mile walk every day before work. Start off sleepy, end up excited to get to work. Much of the same benefits without the sweat of running.

It is ironic that vitamins are okay to recommend. But when practicing physicians got together to recommend HCQ, that advice was labeled as misinformation and promptly removed from everywhere.

Clearly vitamins are better than a drug that has been in use for decades with a proven safety record AND while being recommended by physicians bound to the hippocratic oath.

Why can't there be validity to both vitamins and certain existing drugs? (AND vs OR)

It as though we actively do not want to admit that we may already have something out there that can help us.

PS: Vitamins is a friendly name for often synthetic or derived compounds, not necessarily in the exact same chemical structure as found naturally in organic matter. Not to mention there are also various chemistries that affect absorption etc.

TLDR;

- Guy wants faster internet but doesn't want to move because moving means paying sales commission

- Guy starts ISP and lays fiber, incurring +$126K expenses, now has fast internet

As a Canadian living and working in the US, I encourage all those that think Canada is somehow better than US, to go give living in Canada (and paying their taxes) a try.

US is a much more competitive and diverse market in every respect (even with it's shortcomings).

My parents (and other immediate family), would move to the US if they could.
