During the second half of January 2025, AVFCA brought awareness to specific observance days by sharing our original stories that matched these themes:

Celebration of Life Day : “Contagion Versus Terrain Theory: What if the Two Intermingled?”

Germ theory, traditional terrain theory, new terrain theory, and germ terrain duality theory. That’s a lot to unfold and make sense of.

The research findings may further influence your opinion. [link removed] [[link removed]]



Our team also reads hundreds of articles each week, and those of interest are shared on our social media platforms. However, once or twice a week, our team reads an article that is profound or shares a perspective that is new or from an expert that AVFCA feels should be highlighted. These articles are shared on our Substack.
