I am not sure you can be more wrong about something than Allysia Finley in the @Wsj today about @VPrasadMDMPH I will show you tomorrow about why Vinay is correct regarding the HOPE-2 Capricor study on @Sensible__Med People with rare disease should want people like Vinay in…
Two crusading animal-rights "bioethicists" calling for the engineered spread of ticks in the population to create allergies against red meat, and thereby reduce meat consumption. Yes, you read that correctly. Universities sure have some psychopaths in their ranks these days.
Unfortunately @JAMACardio doubling down on inaccurate info Despite data, many continue to suggest "lower NPV" in young for CAC=0 ruling out disease interestingly, slightly better NPV for CAC=0 ruling out obstructive CAD on CTA? <40: 97% 40-49: 95% 50-59: 95% 60-69: 94% >=70: 92%
Incredibly misleading tweet here by the journal. Please read the full paper not the tweet. Obstructive coronary disease very rare in young patients. @MaBMortensen
“Total-, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol are included in the SCORE2 risk calculation because of their predictive ability and association with CVD found in previous research. We were unable to confirm this association.”
🥳10 year follow-up DanRisk substudy ☝🏻as far as risk prediction, CAC is 👑 🔥highest quartile of inflammation (as measured by CRP) also demonstrated increased risk 🧪the remaining biomarkers including lipid metrics missed the mark…🫤
“This study aims to determine and compare the additive value of CAC-score and 19 biomarkers in risk prediction.”
Slide from a great conference yesterday. Disturbing to see the brain covered in sugar and the crazy eyes. Kids livers are also looking crazy on ultrasound with fatty liver becoming almost normal. So obvious what’s happening. Weird we just keep giving these kids “treats”.

🧵Is the war on saturated fat finally going to end? They called us fringe. Dangerous. Irresponsible. But we were right about saturated fat. Is the medical establishment finally ready to admit it? @SecKennedy @DrMakaryFDA @SecRollins
I just spent an hour chatting with @drjasonfung about his upcoming book, The Hunger Code. Such great information. It is overwhelming to think of how many people he has impacted by asking next level questions. Please comment if he has impacted your life also.
GDF15 is the best biomarker of energetic stress and energy resistance (éR) New paper showing that GDF15 is on average elevated people with diagnoses of schizophrenia (+61%), bipolar disease (+56%), and major depressive disorder (+82%) Consistent with the notion that mental…

(9/9) Don't get me wrong. There are doctors and other health practitioners out there who will push you. Who are willing to fight for you. Try to find them. Don't give up. Fight every day. Because humans need to struggle. Finding a purpose is a health hack in itself. You might…
Nocebo obviously. You know how apprehensive newborns can be when they discontinue their drugs. Or it's relapse.
Here are the symptoms of "antidepressant discontinuation syndrome" in newborns, according to the FDA: "respiratory distress, cyanosis, apnea, seizures, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, vomiting, hypoglycemia, hyperreflexia..." Sound mild? pi.lilly.com/ca/prozac-ca-p…
The glory of low carb diets in reducing triglycerides is not understood by most docs. This patient has normal trigs for the first time in YEARS. Off insulin too, and lower blood pressure of course. Ho hum the life of a low carb gp. @gemtreee @lowcarbGP @thelowcarb_rd @weimbslab

🚨 LETS TALK GLP1 and safety 🚨 Let’s be clear. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are both strongly associated with cancer, far more than anything we’ve seen so far from short-term GLP-1 use. The greater risk is often not treating the root problem. If someone can reverse their…
Medication withdrawal is a critical issue in psychiatry and, for too long, has been overlooked by the medical community. A new paper published in JAMA continues this harmful trend. Be on the lookout for our interview with @markhoro next week breaking down this publication and…
