Japan, Part 2: inside the small Fukushima plant that still makes Themarox, the 86-year-old who saved it from auction, and my search for what became of Asao Shimanishi.
So glad you are finally taking on the EBM mafia, something I’ve been speaking, writing, and posting about for over 20 years.
Whether or not EBM was well-intentioned, it was flawed from the start, and is wholly unscientific—evidence isn’t science. Whoever controls the “evidence” controls the practice. Standard of care became standardized care.
EBM didn’t simply establish an arbitrary hierarchy of evidence, they denigrated traditional sources of knowledge such as clinical experience and basic science! The canonization of the randomized controlled trial was custom made to allow Pharma to take over medicine via practice guidelines.
By the way, in 2009 I published a critique of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign’s sepsis guidelines. The whole thing was a facade produced by Lilly to promote their new drug Xigris. I also presented this at Claudio Ronco’s course in Vicenza, where I met Prof. Vincent. By that time, Xigris had already been pulled from the guidelines due to failed RCTs, though it may well have been beneficial in selected cases.
This is another critique I published twenty years ago.
Wow, what a ride Dr. Kory! Can you believe what has happened in your life since the evils took so much away from you? Now we can better understand the phrase, "When one door closes, another opens " or in your case, many open as they should have. I had hoped you would have had the opportunity to connect with Mr. Asao Shimanishi. Something tells me he is still here and has not crossed over. We all wish you blessings every single day as the Covid years were more than awful to you. All has come back even better with new passions to pursue. God bless you and the family always.
My mother is Japanese. I love the way you capture the idiosyncrasies of Japanese culture and the conviction of the people. I feel Japan deeply respects people and nature. Perhaps this is why you fit in so well there Pierre!🫶
Aluminum is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, and a major part of clay, which has long been thought to be involved in the biochemical origin of life. Aluminum in clay is tightly bound, and not reactive. Aluminum mining and processing has released large amounts of Al(3+), which is highly reactive and very unnatural, thought to cause autism and many other problems. Same element, very different form.
No radiation, the plant is to the west, on the other side of a mountain range, and the wind blows east - also the aluminum is why it works, and I do not know why you claim fluoride
sorry, should have said that F element from periodic table..
That biotite formula comes from wiki, which claims that type of mica has fluorine in it...
In regard to the 2011 'accident' apparently the local ground water was also contaminated, lot of Cs-137 with HL of 30 years.. Thus it would be interesting to see if that miracle powder removes equally that type of poisons, geiger counter will measure it before and after the purification...
Japanese must have applied lot of 'rescuing things' in that time, I can imagine.
The Chernobyl accident in 80-ies made the s.c structured water very popular, which was investigated by one very involved russian physicist, forgot his name..., but his book is somewhere around here;)) It goes into 'nested' water structure which flows along rocks and ends with similar properties discovered in Victor Schaubergers experiments. The most impressive was his free energy, quote (https://naturalactionwater.ca/research/viktor-schauberger/):
"1938 Constructs with his son Walter a replica of Lord Kelvin’s Falling Water Experiment of capillary research, generating a voltage of 20,000 volts."
Oh, forgot to mention, the great Prof. Gerald Pollack got into that special water research only thanks to a japanese researcher!
It’s kind of crazy to think it’s basically just granite rock, removing the feldspar and quartz and everything else until only Biotite (Black Mica) remains and then letting it sit in sulfuric acid and passing it through a bunch of filters
I mean it’s pretty magical… and the results are awesome, but it’s just kind of incredible how simple it is.
YOU ARE NOT!!! But, and my sense is that you realize this; it only becomes simple once it has been seen or been completed.. Remember, it took him 15 years to figure out a method - the starting rock was a key step, the form the starting rock was in, and especially its iron content - it needed to have high iron content and not all do
Reviewing the slides you displayed of the industrial process used and the combination of Sulfuric acid, water, and minerals reminds me of DMSO. I can't help but think there could be a connection, somehow, between Di-methyl sulfoxide and the process for refining the amber liquid. . . aurmina. Wondering if there is any way to utilize DMSO in their or your process?
Secondly: Still I don't believe your process will get a response from the masses until you provide an automated way to apply aurmina in a pressurized and automatic system. Getting rid of the gravity feed, manual batch addition, and countertop system will do that. This will not be cheap but will bring it to the masses. Such a system is typically applied by both chemical engineers (unit operations) and environmental engineers. Water softening(ion exchange of sodium with hard elements) is an example of a home, automated water treatment process which performs some of the process steps you require. Please consider go this step further, if for no other reason, to learn what is necessary in a lab environment. Synthesis of the process later on can make it all possible. . . best of luck.
I completely agree and we are working on it for sure... The much less frictionless and easily provable applications is Primora Bio for plants, crops, and animals, where binding and settling are not required, but I know humans want good water, and they want it without a hassle... again, working on it, not everyone likes the 'Aurmina ritual" like i do..
Ditto indeed liking the ritual, 18 liters for my pup and her pal...-) All cooking is with it. Thanks for your pictures of your setup, made it far easier, more doable. Takes very little time once setup.
Oh my. This is music to my ears.. Seriously, I pretty much detest chores in the past decade (didn't used to), but "preparing my water" is somewhat of a pleasure... Thanks David
(My comment went elsewhere so moving it here where it was intended)
You make it sound like a tea ceremony. Japan is an interesting country with some very profound niches.
This mica extract is very interesting, the product and process. Using it as a plant nutrient is very interesting to me.
If you ever need to investigate the Finnish market I am curious enough to consider getting involved. I also believe DMSO ClO2, H2O2, NH4OH, CH₃COOH and other simple chemicals should be freely available in 'food grade' for adults to use for whatever purpose they desire.
A question I have relating to water. Various mineral water advocates run down distilled water a lot. I find this a bit strange as humans are able to consume rain water (naturally distilled) without harm. I am also ok with the idea that we need various minerals and mineral water may be a good source but have a suspicion that plants absorb and incorporate most minerals that then move up the food chain. I suppose some animals might need some essential minerals that are not available from food and have to be sourced from water but it does seem a little contrived.
So given that people can consume distilled, rain, tap, river, mineral, brackish water is it not safe to assume that we take the needed minerals from where we can and the solvent from any available source?
Looking at my bottles of Aurmina and Primora-bio with even more respect for Mr Shimanishi's discovery....what an amazing process it takes from start to the finished product. Again, thank you for your dedication to bringing forth the history and delving so deeply into understanding the Rock-Water. Love the photos, too!
...but before we move on. During the height of the vocid* hysteria, many of us were eagerly listenting to Dr. Tenpenny, Mike Rogers, that dude now selling overpriced kits (Shwellness Co.), and YOU.
not a single solitary "expert" even ever ever mentioned Famotidine. Curious, given that it was THE #1 DIY tool used by those poor folks in China.
Ivars Kalvinsh created Meldonium (angina, ischemia) and its generated millions of scripts (all in Eastern countries). Over here, but for Maria Sharapova and the WADA banning it as a prohibited ergogenic aid, the rest of the western world yawned. Why did it take 8+ years for some of us to make the connection? What is the bio-chemical similarity with Famotidine (none)...yet both have the extraordinary super-powers of hi-dose B1 (viz Dr. Derrick Lonsdale- Cleveland Clinic who proved it can quell addictions of all kinds-gambling, kleptomania, shopping, sex, you name it).
So back to the lone brave doctors who "helped" us rabble 2020-2025. Ivermectin & ClD were already known- famotidine was not. Why not? Were cytokine storms & clotting not deadly? Were hospitals not getting $43K per vocid diagnosis?
Looking back, making by sonicated pine-needle tea for family & friends is now laughable.
When autistic adults (newly diagnosed) somehow discover an underground of similars all scarfing pepcid pills, when Japanese ortho surgeons are posting TOTAL decalcification of 76 yr old hip joints,
You are overlooking the work of Robert Malone - he was an early and tireless advocate for famotidine, worked hard with NIH to get trials going, blocked repeatedly etc etc.. Personally, there are 75 different compounds shown effective against Covid, famotidine is one but I found it underwhelming on a clinical level whereas, at least in the early days, ivermectin was a Covid killer
Actually, I haven't......I have his lengthy report. If not much happened I s'pose we can't blame him. But Dr. Kory (I'm the guy who pointed out you salicylic acid on plants gaffe)- I have friends with autistic kids & grandkids. Toby Rogers PhD thesis on the topic was & should have been the clarion call- our civilization is on a precipice- next generation is pooched.
As a lawyer (and medical auto-didact) I glom onto truthful smart voices, and learn. You were/are one of those- but nobody can know everything. Midwestern Doctor just completed a years long probe into DMSO....well, guess what? My arthritic friends already knew it could fix their eye problems (verified). I won't take up your time but believe me when I say....."normies" are catching on. With the advent of AI, properly employed, a whole lotta experts will start to feel abandoned.
Back to the DIY front- FAMO is self-administered by autistic adults. Why? Results.
I am almost completed a broadsheet citing the studies (mostly in Eastern Slavic nations; China, Japan) with logic defying results (hip calcification gone after 3 months); Serotonin Syndrome relief; metal (aluminum) chelation; prophylaxis in surgery & chemo treatments and on and on. How might that be? What is the basic biological/biochemical reason? (When I find out, will share)
But for me....the most exciting vista might well be Vagus Nerve affects-p as in quelling (100%) certain frequencies of ambient radiation. Hypersensitives take heart.
All of the above is not intended to show what a smarty-pants be I. Nope. For me, its all about DIY bcuz, heaven knows, the medicos sure aren't out for our best interest.
Thanks for this part two of your trip to Japan. It has given me more understanding of Japanese culture as well as the wonderful tour of the factory and the process of making Themarox and the struggle to keep the factory open. I am impressed that such a business for importing the product could be accomplished with an handshake and honored to this day. That is the way a lot of business used to be done here, but not so much anymore.
Your pictures on Maui brought back memories of my trips to Hawaii.

EBM paved the way for “misinformation and disinformation” that was used effectively to tyrannize and control the majority of doctors during covid. https://substack.com/@richardamerlingmd437332/p-160801763

Amazing. I am going to purchase all 3 books as a holiday gift for a doctor friend of mine. Is there a preferred/recommended order to read them?
Wow! Knowing all we need to regenerate the earth is in these mountains & volcanos is miraculous❣️I learned a lot!
Wow, what a ride Dr. Kory! Can you believe what has happened in your life since the evils took so much away from you?

100%. I have the same thoughts.. often
My mother is Japanese. I love the way you capture the idiosyncrasies of Japanese culture and the conviction of the people. I feel Japan deeply respects people and nature. Perhaps this is why you fit in so well there Pierre!🫶
Oh my, love this
that famous 2011 Fukushima..? No more higher radiation background..?
Apparently all the new mod mRNA injections which are killing the Japanese are also made in Fukushima!!
Lucky Pierre who didn't need to test the japanese 'capsule hotel' during this great trip!
It is funny that such a wonder powder works so great with all that aluminum and fluoride in it K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(OH,F)2 ...
Aluminum is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, and a major part of clay, which has long been thought to be involved in the biochemical origin of life. Aluminum in clay is tightly bound, and not reactive. Aluminum mining and processing has released large amounts of Al(3+), which is highly reactive and very unnatural, thought to cause autism and many other problems. Same element, very different form.
Either you read my book, or you know your aluminum, Esther. Spot on!
Both. I have been interested in biochemistry of health for 50 years. Your book Blueprint of Life deepened my understanding beautifully.
Hemp and sunflowers clean the soil of radiation. Both are renewable and as far as hemp goes it grows like a weed 😉.
No radiation, the plant is to the west, on the other side of a mountain range, and the wind blows east - also the aluminum is why it works, and I do not know why you claim fluoride

Maui, blue roofs and DEW. Would be another thing to look into.
It’s kind of crazy to think it’s basically just granite rock, removing the feldspar and quartz and everything else until only Biotite (Black Mica) remains and then letting it sit in sulfuric acid and passing it through a bunch of filters
I mean it’s pretty magical… and the results are awesome, but it’s just kind of incredible how simple it is.
All good things are simple though
If I’m wrong in any part of this, let me know
YOU ARE NOT!!! But, and my sense is that you realize this; it only becomes simple once it has been seen or been completed.. Remember, it took him 15 years to figure out a method - the starting rock was a key step, the form the starting rock was in, and especially its iron content - it needed to have high iron content and not all do
Now you know that it is actually fun and easy to be a "gaijin" if you put forth a bit of obvious effort, which shows respect.
The Japanese will find themselves at ease with you, even a little more at ease than they often are with each other, if you play it right. ;-)
Love that, John, and I agree, I think I kept them pretty "loose," we all had such a good time getting to know one another
