BGI GenomicsMany young couples dream of starting a family, but often feel uncertain about when their bodies are most ready or how to give their baby the healthiest beginning. Fertility can feel unpredictable, shaped by lifestyle, age, stress, and environmental factors. Winter quietly offers part of the solution. As temperatures drop, our biology, behaviour, and even mood subtly shift into a rhythm that makes starting a family a little more likely. And while nature sets the stage, modern genetic screening advancements such as carrier screening help couples take the next step with confidence and clarity.

Singapore Management UniversityMMS – miracle cure or toxic illusion?
Wroclaw Medical UniversityThe article examines MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution), a product falsely promoted as a universal cure. Research from Wroclaw Medical University shows that while acidified sodium chlorite — the basis of MMS — does kill bacteria, it only works at concentrations that are also toxic to human cells. Tests demonstrated that the substance damages skin cells, harms animals in experimental models, and destroys beneficial probiotic bacteria along with harmful pathogens.
The authors highlight that MMS is unstable, unregulated, and often used in unpredictable doses, making it unsafe for human consumption. They conclude that MMS offers no proven health benefits and carries significant risks, emphasizing the need for evidence-based education to counter misinformation surrounding “miracle cures.”
