Angiex Doses First Patient in Clinical Trial of AGX101!

I’m pleased to announce that Angiex has dosed the first patient in our Phase 1 clinical trial of AGX101, Angiex’s lead drug.

As some of you know, 9 years ago Shou-Ching and I suspended our blog and health retreat to create Angiex. It’s been a busy and exciting nine years, and I’m looking forward to telling you about the special biology Shou-Ching discovered and the drug we’ve made in the weeks ahead.

But for today, I’m happy to simply savor the accomplishment of finally having the opportunity to test what we’ve made in clinical cancer patients. This is the fruit of 20 years of biology research and 12 years of drug development. Please keep an eye out for upcoming posts, and say a prayer for the success of Angiex and the cancer patients we are treating.

Are We Overly Obsessed with Healthy Eating?

It’s impossible to generalize about this, but readers may be interested in an article in the Boston Globe Magazine by Jenai Engelhard, in which I was quoted:

Is our obsession with healthy eating out of control?

A blessed Advent and Christmas to all our readers

New Hope for Diagnosis of Chronic Infections; and Ancestral Health (Paleo) Survey

A few items have recently come to my attention that may be of interest to Perfect Health Diet readers.

First, my friend Chris Keller on Facebook reports that a new startup, Aperiomics, is offering tests that are capable of identifying 37,000 different infectious pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.

This is a game-changing diagnostic tool. Infections are one of the leading causes of disease (along with bad diet and lifestyle), yet standard medical practice is unable to diagnose most infections. Many infections are treatable, but it’s not easy to treat something you can’t diagnose. Getting a clear and accurate diagnosis of infections and treating them appropriately, along with healthy diet and lifestyle practices such as those recommended in Perfect Health Diet, holds the promise of curing most diseases.

The test is not cheap, Chris thinks it’s about $1000. But if you have a mysterious health problem, it may well be worth it.

Second, you may recall that five years ago, Dr. Hamilton Stapell of the Ancestral Health Society and Associate Professor of History at the State University of New York New Paltz organized a movement-wide survey. Results of that survey were published in the Journal of Evolution and Health.

Now Dr. Stapell has a follow-up survey. It aims to:
1) Describe how the size and composition of the ancestral health movement has changed over the past five years.
2) Identify common practices and the most important motivating factors for both starting and quitting a paleo lifestyle.
3) Predict the future trajectory of the ancestral health movement.

Please consider taking 3 to 5 minutes to help Dr. Stapell’s research by completing the Ancestral Health (Paleo) Survey 2018. All responses are anonymous and will be used for scholarly purposes only.
