Astrology & physics? Well, everyone did bemoan the over-saturation of hackneyed medical journals. & where else could I possibly publish my study on how exiting the home when the libran sun is in the 12th house modifies one’s natural synergies to feel both dead and alive due to interference in the electromagnetic field and may be negatively associated with meeting the love of your life?
Anyways, in regards to scioajournals.org, which is a sister site to scientificoajournals.org, I’m always a fan of creative synonym use, which they graciously provide in their privacy policy:
“The purpose of this policy is to correct the content and to vigilant its readers, not intended to rebuke the author(s).”
and their editor guidelines:
“any active reviewer who is always open towards contributing and the journal development would be felicitated by the journal accordingly”
As for remedypublications.com, when I searched for Remedy Publications LLC through CA business records (entity # 201602110584), I found that the business was registered to Llanell Vararaj. I’ve encountered instances where people use third parties to register a business or may use a fake business name, but I goggled the name nonetheless. There is a dentist of that very name nearby in CA. So, I decided to goole his name along with the U.S address of remedy publications, 820 EL, Camino Real, CA.94002, and discovered that a Llanell Vararaj has also registered Ivory Dental Services INC (entity # C3660633) at that same location. When I search for his name otherwise, his business address is typically given as 909 University Ave Berkeley, CA 94710, which belongs to Berkeley Dental. I was unable to determine if he still works at this location. However, given that Blossom Damania’s name is used by Remedy Publications, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that they used his name as well.
& actually— the Blossom Damania that he uses in his spam emails is referred to as “Blossom R. Damania,” whereas the virologist is Blossom A. Damania. I thought that was a nice technicality. Although, I only have the spam examples found in a presentation from ICEM 2016 to go off of (pg./slide 28):

Another associated site: jclinicalcasesandimaging.com — oddly enough, on the top of this site, the journal is also referred to as the annals of clinical case reports. I guess he ran out of names? (all manuscripts are directed to the same email, so it probably doesn’t even matter)
