A sucupira é uma árvore nativa do cerrado brasileiro, pertencente ao gênero Pterodon.
As espécies mais conhecidas são a sucupira-branca (Pterodon pubescens) e a sucupira-preta (Bowdichia major). As sementes, cascas, folhas e frutos da sucupira são utilizados na medicina popular devido às suas propriedades medicinais.
Propriedades Medicinais da Sucupira:
- Anti-inflamatória:
A sucupira é frequentemente usada para tratar condições inflamatórias como artrite, artrose e reumatismo. Estudos indicam que compostos como beta-cariofileno e alfa-humuleno contribuem para sua ação anti-inflamatória.
- Analgésica:
Devido às suas propriedades anti-inflamatórias, a sucupira também é conhecida por aliviar dores, especialmente nas articulações e músculos.
- Antioxidante:
Contém substâncias antioxidantes que podem ajudar na redução do estresse oxidativo, potencialmente beneficiando a saúde geral e a prevenção de doenças.
- Antirreumática:
Utilizada tradicionalmente para tratar sintomas de doenças como a artrite reumatoide.
- Cicatrizante:
Algumas fontes sugerem que a sucupira pode acelerar a cicatrização de feridas e úlceras estomacais.
- Antimicrobiana:
Há evidências de que extratos da sucupira possuem atividade antimicrobiana, útil contra infecções bacterianas e fúngicas.
- Anticâncer:
Estudos iniciais apontam para possíveis efeitos antitumorais, especialmente em modelos experimentais de câncer de próstata.
Formas de Consumo:

Mistura de sementes de sucupira com vinho ou outra bebida alcoólica, tradicional na cultura popular brasileira.
Considerações Importantes:
- O uso de sucupira deve ser feito com moderação, pois em grandes quantidades pode ser tóxico.
- É recomendável consultar um profissional de saúde antes de iniciar qualquer tratamento com sucupira, especialmente para gestantes, lactantes, crianças ou indivíduos com problemas hepáticos ou renais.
Estudos científicos sobre a sucupira têm focado em várias propriedades medicinais da planta, especialmente em seus compostos ativos e seus efeitos biológicos.
- Anti-inflamatório e Analgésico:
Estudos têm demonstrado que a sucupira, principalmente Pterodon pubescens, possui propriedades anti-inflamatórias e analgésicas significativas.
Pesquisadores encontraram compostos como diterpenos, incluindo vouacapanos e geranilgeraniol, que são responsáveis por estas propriedades.
Por exemplo, um estudo disponível no PubMed discutiu os efeitos imunomodulatórios de infusões de sementes de sucupira em modelos de artrite induzida por colágeno.
- Anticâncer:
Há pesquisas que sugerem atividades antitumorais dos extratos de sucupira.
Um estudo no ResearchGate examinou o potencial de extratos de sucupira no tratamento de glioblastoma, indicando que o óleo das sementes poderia ter implicações terapêuticas em células de câncer cerebral.
- Microencapsulação:
Devido à instabilidade de alguns compostos ativos da sucupira, estudos recentes têm explorado a microencapsulação para melhorar a estabilidade e a biodisponibilidade dos extratos.
Um artigo no PMC discutiu técnicas de microencapsulação para preservar as propriedades dos compostos sucupira, especialmente diterpenos.
- Efeito Imunomodulatório:
Outra área de estudo é o efeito da sucupira no sistema imunológico.
Um estudo específico analisou como o extrato de sementes de sucupira pode modular a resposta imune em modelos de artrite, sugerindo seu potencial no tratamento de doenças autoimunes.
- Estudos Farmacológicos e Fitoquímicos:
Vários estudos também têm se dedicado à identificação e quantificação de compostos ativos na sucupira, bem como à avaliação de suas atividades farmacológicas.
A literatura descreve flavonoides, triterpenos e esteroides, com foco em como essas substâncias se relacionam com a atividade biológica.
A sucupira é frequentemente mencionada por seus potenciais benefícios para a artrite devido às suas propriedades anti-inflamatórias e analgésicas.
- Redução da Inflamação:
A sucupira contém compostos como diterpenos (vouacapanos, geranilgeraniol) e beta-cariofileno que têm demonstrado capacidade de inibir a inflamação.
Isso pode ajudar a reduzir o inchaço e a dor associados à artrite.
- Alívio da Dor:
Além de reduzir a inflamação, esses compostos também têm propriedades analgésicas, podendo amenizar a dor articular característica da artrite.
- Imunomodulação:
Estudos sugerem que extratos de sucupira podem modular a resposta imunológica, o que é útil em doenças autoimunes como a artrite reumatoide, onde o sistema imunológico ataca as articulações.
- Evidências Científicas:
- Pesquisas em modelos animais de artrite induzida por colágeno mostraram que o uso de sucupira pode diminuir a gravidade dos sintomas inflamatórios.
- Um estudo publicado no "Journal of Ethnopharmacology" discutiu os efeitos anti-inflamatórios e imunomoduladores de infusões de sementes de sucupira em modelos de artrite, indicando um alívio nos sinais de inflamação e dor.
- Uso Tradicional:
Na medicina popular brasileira, a sucupira é utilizada há gerações para tratar sintomas de artrite e outras condições inflamatórias das articulações.
Considerações:
- Dosagem e Segurança:
É importante usar a sucupira em doses adequadas, pois o consumo excessivo pode levar a efeitos tóxicos.
- Interação com Medicamentos:
A sucupira pode interagir com medicamentos usados para tratar artrite, como anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (AINEs) ou medicamentos imunossupressores, então a supervisão de um profissional de saúde é recomendável.

Looking at Israel-related measures now in play on the Hill, one would be hard-pressed to avoid concluding that Israel's govt & its allies in Congress & pro-Israel orgs want to ensure Israel's PM will be functionally (& permanently) granted a seat in the US situation room. 1/
Specifically, this means pursuing legislation — much of it built on an edifice of pro-Israel measures passed into law, with little or no debate, over many years — that will accomplish three inter-related and mutually-reinforcing goals:

Arsenal’s midfield recruitment should not be judged by names alone.
The real question is tactical: which midfielder adds the function Arsenal still need alongside Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino and Myles Lewis-Skelly?
In this thread, I break down five midfield profiles through data, role interpretation and Arsenal fit:
Adam Wharton
Sandro Tonali
Ayyoub Bouaddi
Elliot Anderson
Mateus Fernandes
The focus is not simply “who is better”, but what each player would actually change inside Arsenal’s midfield structure: build-up control, ball-winning, carrying, pressing, duel capacity, chance creation, rotation value and long-term squad balance.
A data-led tactical scouting thread.
The first layer of this comparison is profile clarity.
This is not a simple ranking of talent. It is a role-fit question: what midfield function does each player bring, and how does that function fit Arsenal’s current midfield?
Mateus Fernandes stands out as the most complete profile in the group: Overall 75.0, Passing 83.8, Tackling 80.6, Carrying 79.4. That balance matters because he is not only a passer, not only a tackler, and not only a carrier. He links several phases.
Adam Wharton is the clearest specialist. His Passing 88.0 separates him as the best deep build-up controller in the sample.
Elliot Anderson looks like the safest Premier League engine: high usage, strong rhythm, and a profile that translates well to physical, transitional games.
Ayyoub Bouaddi is the development bet: not the most immediate solution, but interesting because of his age, duel profile and mouldability.
Tonali is balanced and reliable, but the heatmap raises the key question: does he add enough difference to Arsenal’s current midfield?
The main takeaway: Arsenal do not just need another midfielder. They need the right midfield function.
The build-up vs defensive impact chart is where the profiles start separating tactically.
Wharton sits closest to the deep controller profile. With Passing 88.0, his value is clear: he can improve Arsenal’s first and second phases by receiving early, changing the angle, and finding the next midfielder before the opponent’s block fully resets.
But Wharton is not an all-action 6/8. He is not the player you sign to dominate duels, cover huge transition spaces or carry through pressure repeatedly. His value is more technical than physical.
Mateus Fernandes is different. He combines Passing 83.8, Tackling 80.6 and Carrying 79.4, which makes him the best multi-phase profile in the group. He does not just help Arsenal circulate the ball; he can also press, recover, tackle and progress.
The dumbbell chart against Arsenal’s midfield reference makes the contrast clearer.
Wharton gives Arsenal a passing upgrade.
Mateus gives Arsenal a broader midfield upgrade.
That is the tactical choice:
specialist control or multi-phase completeness.
Thank you to @louie_french, Shadow Minister for Shadow Minister for Culture, Media and Sport for coming to the launch of our report Getting Back on Track: using the Equality Act to enable and protect sport for women and girls at the House of Lords this week.
It was such a good event!
@sharrond62 hosted and @wsusportsunion @Womeninsport_uk @SportSEENuk and @WomensRightsNet were in attendance.
Everyone wanted to talk about how the Equality Act works in sport.
A guy sat at his laptop ready to permanently delete his 15-year-old Gmail account.
He was getting 400 spam emails a day. Fake Best Buy receipts. Phishing links from "Netflix." Cryptic extortion threats.
He hovered his mouse over "Delete Account" and sighed: "I just want peace."
His coworker, a former email deliverability engineer, looked over his shoulder.
"Before you nuke 15 years of contacts and data, let me show you something. Your email isn't broken. It's weaponized. There are 22 ways you've been leaving the door wide open. Google won't tell you this because the data collection feeds their entire ad engine. Give me 14 minutes."
Here's what she showed him:
1. The Newsletter Graveyard
The Situation: You signed up for a 15% discount code from a trendy mattress company back in 2019. You bought the bed, ignored the emails, and never clicked unsubscribe. What you didn't read in their privacy policy was the clause allowing them to "share data with trusted third-party partners." Fast forward to today, and that single company has legally sold your email to 47 different data brokers, who then sold it to hundreds of affiliate marketers.
The Mechanics: Every dormant newsletter in your inbox is a live wire. As long as you are on their list, your data is being refreshed in their CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software, marking your email as an active, deliverable address.
The Fix: You need to aggressively audit the graveyard. In your Gmail search bar, type "unsubscribe". You will likely find over 200 active subscriptions you forgot existed. Do not just delete the emails, open them and kill the subscriptions at the source. Each one you sever closes a pipeline that is actively feeding your digital identity to data aggregators.
2. The Malicious "Unsubscribe" Trap
The Situation: You check your phone and see a poorly formatted email warning you about "Your McAfee Anti-Virus Renewal" or a pitch for "Miracle Keto Gummies." Frustrated, you scroll to the very bottom and click the tiny Unsubscribe link, hoping to finally make it stop. You just made a fatal, irreversible error.
The Mechanics: True spammers and phishing syndicates don't actually honor opt-out requests. Instead, that "unsubscribe" link is a trap wired with a unique tracking token. The moment you click it, a ping is sent back to their server with a clear message: "A real, breathing human lives at this address, and they actively read their spam." Your email address just got upgraded to a "Premium Verified" list, and its value on the dark web just tripled.
The Fix: Never, ever hit unsubscribe on an email you didn't explicitly and intentionally sign up for. Instead, highlight the email and click the Report Spam button (the stop sign icon with an exclamation mark). This action trains Google's machine-learning algorithm to recognize the sender's IP address and domain, eventually penalizing them and protecting millions of other users.
BREAKING: This morning I, Anthony Andrews, received a “demand” letter from the lawyers of the President and First Lady via FedEx. I guess it is a cease and desist of sorts. It is 6 pages long and references numerous social media posts relating to Donald Trump and separately Melania. The scale of what the posts cover would allow for discovery to be sensational. The broad terms mentioned regarding my posts about Donald Trump would allow, if litigated, the world to see the extent to which the president is willing to go to evade accountability.
The posts referencing Melania have also been similarly referenced over the years by thousands of people publicly. As a messenger, I posted what was shared with me by a first person witness.
I have them on their toes and am obviously very much over the target.
More details to come. If they’re coming after me, they will eventually come after everyone.
Part of the first page regarding my posts about Donald Trump. Maybe someone can find the specific one listed. SCAVENGER HUNT! Share when you find it below. As I mentioned, Trump’s demands are extremely broad and litigation would allow for sensational discover. Also as extra credit, share things we all know that relate to my post. Like the documented tens of thousands of lies.
“PLEASE GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY.”
Yet the president cannot govern himself or our nation.
Todd had terminal ALS and just ordered a wheelchair—then DMSO gave him his life back
His brain fog vanished. Breathing crises stopped in 3 days. He dragged 340-lb beams across a road. His reflexes healed.
His recovery shocked his doctors—but ALS is far from the only thing DMSO helps.
James Miller MD found roughly 80% of neurological issues people see neurologists for simply go away once he gives them DMSO.
Approximately 2500 studies support its use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to strokes, MS, paralysis, chronic pain, spinal injuries, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome.
Here, I will show how DMSO can cure many "incurable" neurological disorders.🧵
