Luboslav Stárka was a globally acclaimed physician who dedicated his entire life to researching and therapeutically applying steroids, with a particular focus on vitamin D. He understood from personal experience and extensive knowledge that this vitamin, one of the earliest steroids discovered, likely has various effects beyond the indisputable benefits for bones. He assigned our team to tackle the challenges related to vitamin D, resulting in years of research with strong findings achieved through chromatography linked with mass spectrometry (LC-MS), considered a gold standard measurement vital to recent scientific investigations. This resulted in a complete range of scientific articles, intended to highlight the potential for utilizing the properties of vitamin D and, consequently, the blessing that nature has bestowed upon us View Less

Sir Karl Raimund Popper was an Austrian–British philosopher, academic and social commentator. One of the 20th century's most influential philosophers of science, Popper is known for his rejection of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method in favour of empirical falsification made possible by his falsifiability criterion, and for founding the Department of Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. According to Popper, a theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can (and should) be scrutinised with decisive experiments. Popper was opposed to the classical justificationist account of knowledge, which he replaced with "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy", namely critical rationalism.
