Tom opens this week’s livestream with an announcement about a new community platform launching in early May 2026 through New Biology Clinic and DrTomCowan.com.
-New Biology Clinic members at any level will be included at no extra charge.
-Graduates of the New Biology curriculum will receive a trial membership.
-Tom shares that the goal is to help like-minded people connect online first, then build real in-person friendships, local relationships, and practitioner support.
-He also ties this initiative to the upcoming New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm in June, describing it as part of a broader effort to bring people together in community.
New Biology Experience link here.

Highlights from this session include:
-Tom shares several pieces of “science news,” including a story about a python blood molecule being studied as a possible appetite suppressant, which he uses to mock the logic behind new obesity drug development.
-He comments on a report claiming that a third of Americans believe in an impending apocalypse, pointing to what he sees as a contradiction between welcoming doomsday and wanting institutions to prevent it.
-Tom reads and analyzes a comment from Australian microbiologist Christopher Peacock, focusing on Peacock’s claim that the “only difference” in viral plaque assays is the presence or absence of the virus. Tom argues that such a statement would require prior purification of the virus from the sample, which he says virologists themselves claim is not possible.
-The main topic of the session is meningitis, especially the claim that Neisseria meningitidis causes meningitis and septicemia. Tom reviews a scientific paper on meningococcal pathogenesis and argues that the theory fails because the bacteria are commonly found in healthy people, while actual illness is rare.
-He highlights what he sees as a major weakness in the mainstream explanation: the researchers themselves admit that the mechanisms by which the bacteria move from harmless colonization in the nose to life-threatening disease remain largely unexplained.
-Tom argues that the theory becomes increasingly speculative, shifting from bacteria, to subtypes, to genetic differences, to signaling pathways, instead of proving direct causation.
-He also notes that there is no convincing animal model for meningococcal sepsis or meningitis and says this undermines the claim that the bacteria are the true cause.
-In discussing a recent teen meningitis case, Tom speculates that vaping-related toxins such as nicotine, propylene glycol, heavy metals, and carcinogens may be a more plausible contributor to brain and tissue damage than the bacteria themselves.
-He closes by arguing that meningitis vaccine campaigns are built on flawed reasoning and by reaffirming his challenge to Christopher Peacock to produce proof that a virus was isolated before cell culture.

Tom opens this week’s livestream with an update on the upcoming New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm (June 2026)
-Registration is still open, and Tom shares that the event will bring together speakers, musicians, good food, and community for a meaningful in-person gathering.
New Biology Experience link here.

Highlights from this session include:
-Tom introduces the central question of the talk: whether mitochondria actually exist, and if so, what we truly know about what they do.
-He challenges the idea that many core concepts in modern biology—such as hormones, vitamins, genes, and biochemical markers—are “discovered”, suggesting instead that they are constructed through laboratory processes.
-A critique of modern pharmaceuticals and testing, including examples like testosterone treatments and evolving cholesterol markers, illustrating how shifting frameworks often replace rather than resolve flawed assumptions.
-Tom explores how scientific claims are built through indirect methods like subcellular fractionation and antibody tagging, arguing these rely on circular reasoning and unprovable assumptions.
-A detailed examination of microscopy evidence, emphasizing that while small “squiggly” structures can be seen in cells, there is no clear proof of their structure, contents, or function.
-He critiques widely accepted mitochondrial functions (energy production, disease causation, etc.), stating there is no direct evidence linking observed benefits (like red light therapy or diet) to mitochondria.
-Tom emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between observable effects (feeling better, improved function) and unverified explanations (mechanisms attributed to mitochondria).
-He concludes that focusing on abstract biological explanations can disconnect people from direct experience, observation, and practical healing.

Tom closes the session by encouraging viewers to return to **real-world observations—food, light, environment, and personal experience—rather than abstract scientific constructs when thinking about health and healing.

Tom opens this week’s livestream with a reminder about the New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm (June 2026).
-Registration is still open, and Tom invites viewers to join for a weekend of talks, music, good food, and reconnecting with friends and community.
New Biology Experience link here.

Highlights from this session include:
-Tom revisits a widely shared “photograph of an atom” and presents it as an audience intelligence test, pointing out a contradiction: if the nucleus were the size of a pinhead, electrons should be about a mile away, not the inch-scale distance depicted in the image.
-A discussion on how mathematics is often used to imply the existence of things that have never been directly demonstrated, illustrated with his analogy of a hypothetical “bucket made of fairy dust.”
-Tom examines a case where DNA testing suggested a woman was not the mother of children she had given birth to, using the example to question the idea that DNA testing is “100% foolproof” and to discuss how scientific claims can become unfalsifiable.
-A deep dive into the claim that cystic fibrosis is a proven genetic disease, including a review of foundational literature and the assumptions behind the idea that genes code for specific proteins.
-A critique of research on human metapneumovirus (HMPV), focusing on how viruses are said to be “isolated” in cell culture and highlighting logical contradictions when cytopathic effects are rarely observed.
-Tom reflects on a recent interview discussing HPV vaccination campaigns, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing intentions from strategies when debating health policies. He argues that discussions should focus on evidence and factual claims, rather than accusations about motives.

Tom closes the session by encouraging viewers to stay focused on clear reasoning, evidence, and careful questioning of scientific claims.

Tom opens this week’s livestream with two announcements:
-The Wednesday webinar for March 4th, 2026, begins with Tom thanking the community and sharing that the page has reached 100,000 followers on Facebook.
-Tom also shares news about the New Biology Experience in Virginia: musicians Brendan, Mike, and Jude plan to attend, performing two short concerts and possibly leading a singing workshop. Registration is still open.
New Biology Experience link here.

Highlights from this session include:
-A brief comment on Tourette’s, referencing a Saturday Night Live clip and noting that he may return to discuss Tourette’s and other neurological diseases in the future.
-A discussion about DNA testing and heredity, where Tom shares examples meant to question the reliability of consumer DNA testing companies.
-A continuation of his critique of the measles narrative, focusing on how doctors historically diagnosed measles before molecular testing and quoting clinicians who say measles can resemble many other respiratory or rash illnesses.
-A segment of science news, including commentary on a reported “image of atoms,” and discussion of research on giant viruses such as mimivirus.
-A discussion about apricot seeds (laetrile / vitamin B17), where Tom shares personal experience eating small amounts daily and discusses the difference between whole foods and isolated compounds.
-Tom also mentions investigating Essiac, a traditional herbal formula, and shares that he and his wife have begun trying it themselves.
-A discussion about the historical question of why Native Americans died during colonization, referencing the work of Dawn Lester and emphasizing factors such as displacement, starvation, and violence rather than infectious disease narratives.
-A long discussion about osteoporosis and DEXA scans, including clinical stories from early in Tom’s career that shaped his thinking about bone density, arterial calcification, and the role of bone matrix, diet, and movement.

A thoughtful Q&A on:
-What do I think about apricot seeds?
-What really caused the massive deaths among native peoples—was it disease alone?
-What about osteoporosis?
-Do I have any suggestions for somebody, unfortunately living in a war zone and the stress and the fear?

Tom closes the session by thanking the audience again for their continued support and inviting viewers to check out the New Biology Experience.
