Ivermectin, the drug once labeled “horse de-wormer,” is now showing 15 anti-cancer mechanisms of action.

Mutations on the COL6A6 gene, which is responsible for the synthesis of collagen, correlate very strongly with eczema. Collagen helps to hydrate and provide relief for eczema

Collagen is good for hydrating the skin.  But Eczema has no cure.  The best you can hope for is to manage the flareups. 

From National Eczema,

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the human body that makes up around 75% of our skin. According to Dr. Shari Marchbein, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, “collagen is the main structural protein that forms the connective tissue throughout our body, from skin to bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.” Within our skin, collagen also helps maintain hydration – a critical concern for people with eczema, as prolonged dehydration of the skin can lead to cracks and fissures. Skin dehydration is one of the causes of skin barrier dysfunction in people with eczema and may increase the risk of Staph infection

from Dr. Harlan

Collagen synthesis is clearly an important part of the skin’s health. But can this “glue-producing” protein really help eczema?

In a word, yes. Collagen is an important part of your skin’s barrier function. Inadequate collagen synthesis can lead to problems ranging from dryness to poor healing. Mutations on the COL6A6 gene, which is responsible for the synthesis of collagen, correlate very strongly with eczema.  

Adding that, 

A 2017 study led by the Japanese Institute for Investigative Dermatology found that eczema patients taking collagen tripeptides had lower blood levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines than eczema patients who did not supplement. While the study didn’t definitively prove that collagen supplements help eczema flares, it suggests that they could, if given within the right parameters. 

Sounds good on paper,

In 2022, a Canadian study found that marine collagen, which is taken from fish, jellyfish, and sponges, contributed to improved skin barrier function and faster healing of the skin. The reason for this seems to be that this kind of collagen stimulates the migration of fibroblasts. We already know that fibroblasts play a key role in collagen synthesis; they also act as “flying squads,” migrating from their source to deal with damaged tissues. This migration is inhibited in eczema-prone skin. Marine collagen seems to enhance the dermal fibroblasts’ ability to migrate from the dermis to other layers of the skin as needed during eczema flares. 

This could be the difference, 

The study’s authors note that marine collagen peptides have a smaller molecular weight than most traditional bovine collagen supplements. This means that they are more easily absorbed by the body’s tissues.

2017 Encounter with the Devil Himself, Dr. Robert John Santella, Abortion Doctor of San Diego

This encounter with abortion doctor, Robert Santella, 74 at the time, was from 2017 in San Diego.

You can read more about him here.  When the God complex turns demonic.

A San Diego abortionist who was caught on video last year threatening a pro-life activist with scissors in the midst of a demonic rant, has agreed to surrender his medical license on December 31, 2017.

Robert John Santella, 74, was featured in a YouTube video as he hissed and threatened a pro-life activist with scissors while admitting he had a “darkened heart.”

The California Medical Board (CMB) sought disciplinary action against Santella for his unprofessional conduct in an amended accusation filed on July 17, 2017. The accusation expressed shock that Santella growled at the pro-life activist and admitted he loved killing babies in a guttural voice even while other patients — and at least one child — entered the abortion facility behind him.

After video of the incident went viral, Santella was fired by a hospital group where he was affiliated, and later, by the FPA Women’s Health abortion facility. Undeterred, Santella resumed his abortion business at his long-time College-area private practice office.

Santella was also charged by the CMB for wrongly prescribing controlled substances to six patients, while failing to perform a physical examination or document reasons for the prescriptions in medical records. He also ignored test results and symptoms of other serious conditions.

When asked why he prescribed opioids to one patient with a history of substance abuse, he callously replied, “[I]n desperation I would refill her medications somehow just to get rid of her.”

Robert Santella died in 2019.
