Scientific advances in understanding of mitochondria could change how we approach human health

Many years ago, we published this highly amusing sketch about German COMINTERN leader, Angela Merkel, destroyer of nations…

It may actually have been fully accidentally closer to truth than the writers imagined.

And then there is the venerable South Park that did a whole episode on the microbiome, which was both funny, and again, probably much closer to biological reality than most of us thought, although the writers were clearly aware of the subject material, even if they did represent it in a vulgar and humorous way…

On to the main course. This guy is rapidly becoming my favorite science popularizer. The East Euro accent of course, adds some of the needed gravitas for material like this. Either way, this is fascinating and may offer ways of understanding ourselves, and improving our health, psychological well being and mood in safe and effective (I wish that phrase had not been destroyed by dialectics but using it in the old fashioned way) treatments, probably mostly involving nutrients.

This post was off topic for this site. But understanding and protecting human health, mental and physical, is a critical line of defence for the various forces aligned against us. So perhaps it isn’t.

There are genuine scientific experts who read this site. I hope they comment on this post to add clarity prescicion and even contradiction if there are errors in the approach taken by Anton Petrov. Who by the way, also has fascinating videos on various sciences.
