Again, plenty more to add here such as snake venom being used as a therapeutic agent which actually would counter the rampant fear mongering that we're all being poisoned.
If anyone has any more of Ardis' articles please feel free to comment with a link. I'm rather interested in seeing how much analysis he has actually done with respect to the studies he cites. Something tells me he may be one of those "didn't get past the abstract" type of people...
It's also interesting seeing a possible schism forming within the FLCCC, which may not be a good thing in the long run, but I suppose this is one of those things to watch out for in the near future.

Another very informative article and thanks for the links.
I was sad to see Dr Jane Ruby be more divisive against the flccc at Dr Kory. Instead of just relaying that these doctors have different opinions, they dismiss them "because of their arrogance". They may also dismiss them on some scientific grounds, I don't know enough to deeply understand the science like you do, but they're bringing in a divisive tone which is a shame. We need to be able to disagree without being divisive, and we should know that from experience over the past 2 years. I know we all slip up in this area from time to time, it does take maturity.
And I agree that doctor Ardis seems to have some grandiosity, although I feel a little different flavor. He's done all this research alone, and he said he's been very emotional in the process. I think the emotionality makes it harder to take in information that would prove the theory wrong. It's like the emotionality is a tenuous glue holding the parts of the theory together. To take in other information makes the glue even more tenuous, bringing anxiety and insecurity. The grandiosity covers for the tenuous, anxious, insecure nature involved in the theory.
I love your humor, "I mean, just look at the little guys. Of course the would be perfect for producing antibodies". 😅 It's peptides all the way down baby! 😍
Excellent analysis. First, when I ask the pro-Ardis people what a peptide is, they will usually deflect or scatter. In short, a peptide is a short protein. An enzyme is a protein that acts like a catalyst in the body. Enzymes are typically proteins, not short peptides. Not all proteins are enzymes. Science has only recently discovered how to make a peptide act as an enzyme.
I need to do more research but based on those definitions alone, the "toxin-like peptides" may not even be full-blown enzymes.
Fun times. In a sense, the FLCCC backlash is predictable, because there's a lot of unresolved tension in the anti-Covid-vaccine crowd's blind embrace of any authority that offers the "different easy answer" in contrast to the "mainstream easy answer" of the vax, whether it's wonder-drugs, or the flawed "leaky vaccine = bad" rubric, etc. On the way, suddenly ("repurposed") drugs and ("non-leaky") vaccines (not really a thing) are again elevated to magic secular saviors that deliver humanity from death, setting the mainstream-medicine-doubters up for fresh disillusionment. The backlash is natural, because the process of learning to think critically and get back in touch with nature wasn't finished the first time. And the FLCCC put too much bank on studies to begin with.
Some vax opponents routinely list the excipients of jabs, and deem them as harmful because they can be also be found in higher concentration or quantity in industrial mixtures which are toxic when taken internally. This reveals complete ignorance of dose dependent therapeutic value vs toxicity. Part of the snake venom word salad displays the same problem.

Amino acids = molecules that have NH2 and COOH functional groups (allowing chains of them to form). Each kind of amino acid a variable side chain. Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Proteins are long, folded chains of amino acids. Enzymes are an example of proteins. Endorphins are an example of peptides.
Dr Ardis’s snake venom stuff pegged my BS meter instantaneously. It’s freeking word salad. Stew is really killing his Art Bell-like entertainment value with this mess.
I also want to add that your analysis of Dr. Ardis' mental state is spot on. When I watched the first part of that one video you shared on my comments - where Ardis writes off all criticism as "egos" - I was really repulsed by his obvious projection. I have more to say on the potential spiritual issues the man has, but his claiming that he spent 16 hours a day on this, which is obsessive, is a huge red flag.
On today’s Dr. Jane Ruby Show, while some of the frontline experts are breathlessly trying to dismiss the snake venom warnings of Dr. Bryan Ardis before they have seen all the evidence, other experts from around the world are now stepping up to tie the pieces together and Dr. Jane shows you their incredible photos and videos and Dr. Eli English, Homeopathic doctor, is back to show everyone how to counteract the effects of envenomation with natural antidote approaches.
I am totally in agreement with your analysis of Dr. Ardis' snake oil sales pitch. The only thing that mildly intrigued me was the text from the "would you take anti-venom if you got bit by a snake" (talk about adding suspense and drama kind of like the "to be continued" at the end of tv show). It turns out that was Dr. Tau Braun (who is a psychologist specializing in counter terrorism). So I'll admit, not what I was expecting, and not an area of much knowledge for me, so I thought I'd give it a go. Well again I was met with word salad. I should have taken notes, but there was definitely some major scientific faux-pas committed in his explanation. One thing I remember is he said "kinases are like knives - they chop things up." Hmm, even just a google search of kinase will let you know that is wrong. In general anything ending in the suffix -ase denotes it's an enzyme (a protein with a job). So there are many things in our cells that chop up stuff (DNase chops up DNA, RNase chops us RNA, protease chops up protein - it's their job, but you can imagine there are lots of jobs to be done in within our cellular framework, hey, maybe somethings put things together). The video is on Dr. Ardis' website: https://vokalnow.com/video/4850
One final note on "peptides" which Dr. Ardis used extensively in his presentation: I can only think of peptide binding groove of MHC Class I and Class II molecules. They select peptides from inside our cells and display them on the outside to let surveillance cells know what's going on inside the cell (it's a super complex system). But check out the cartoons from this paper, they are fabulous: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5159193/
Overall it does seem like they are preying on the ignorance of people concerning scientific things. His theory is sensational, but not for the reasons he espouses.

I also speculated that the Italy authors were a bit out of their depth as far as ruling out normal artifacts of cellular destruction, in a reply to Stephanie (https://unglossed.substack.com/p/jumping-the-snake/comment/6052187?s=w)

Any comments to these latest disclosures April 18?
