Understanding the core mechanisms of health
A closer look at what the research says about how the body works, and what might actually help fix the underlying problem.
I focus on the mechanisms, weigh the evidence, and update things when better research comes along. No miracle cures, no pretending the evidence is stronger than it is.
Investigations ยท all topics
Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder
Can a delayed body clock actually be fixed? What the research shows about timed light and melatonin, the role of genetics, and whether the shift holds once you stop.
CIRS & Sick Building Syndrome
CIRS and sick building syndrome are real. The harder question is which immune and inflammatory pathways actually explain the symptoms, and which of the popular explanations hold up.

-
Some do. The implanted devices have real sham-controlled evidence. The ear clips sold to consumers failed their best trial, and sham response rates run around 25%.
-
The vagus nerve genuinely regulates inflammation, but nobody has measured it in CIRS. Implanted stimulation works in rheumatoid arthritis. The ear-clip devices failed their best trial.
-
Yes, mostly through the respiratory infections that damp buildings bring. The direct immune routes affect chest lymph nodes you can't feel, and the mycotoxin explanation fails.
-
Yes, but not the way most mold sites claim. The routes with real evidence run through the airways and the immune system, not through mycotoxins or histamine.
-
New synthesis on the biology of a delayed body clock, the evidence for timed light and melatonin, the role of genetics, and whether DSPD can actually be cured.
