I started milking my eyelids. Here's the situation. My eyes have been dry/irritated/red for the past year or so. I started using eye drops to moisten and it didn't make a difference. So I went to see an eye doctor. The source of the problem is that my meibomian glands, the tiny oil glands lining the eyelids, were clogged up. Without the meibum they secrete, the tear film on my eye evaporates in seconds which is bad for eye health. We're not sure of the cause of the dysregulation. We have few theories that we're looking into. Taking a closer look with infrared meibography, the imagery showed that my meibomian glands were congested, distorted, and partially dropped out. This is bad news because atrophied glands don't regrow! It's situations like this that makes me wonder why we do not have a better operating manual for the human body. How could I have prevented this from happening and why didn't I catch this sooner!? I did additional tests to assess the damage and my situation now. The Schirmer test (paper strip measuring tear wetting over 5 minutes) came back at 6 and 6.5 mm. A borderline reading consistent with mild dry eye. A healthy reading is typically 15 mm or above. Here's what I'm doing now to try and nurture my remaining glands back to good health: 1) Forma RF, Radiofrequency (microwave) heat applied from outside the lid, melting the obstruction. 2) LipiFlow, a device that sandwiches each eyelid: heat from the inside, pulsed pressure from the outside, squeezing the obstruction out. 12 minutes, both eyes. 3) Both capped at 41°C, not the standard 42°C, to spare eyelid collagen and elastin. No thinning skin, no premature sagging. 4) IPL around the eyes that shut down the abnormal blood vessels feeding chronic lid inflammation, the engine of MGD. 5) Manual gland milking, the doctor squeezes the lid margin between two instruments, forcing the plugs out. Hard, pasty secretions came out initially. The second and third mechanical milking the glands are returning to a normal, expected oily state. 6) Daily upkeep includes warm compresses, lid hygiene, omega-3 to keep secretions thin and glands moving. My next check in is 3 weeks form now. My doctor mentioned that meibomian gland dysfunction in her patients has increased since Covid, likely driven by the rise in screen time. When staring at screens for long stretches, people blink less frequently and less completely. Normal blink rate is roughly 15-20 times per minute but drops significantly during screen use. Incomplete blinks mean the meibomian glands don't get fully expressed, which over time contributes to gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye. It's worth you getting checked for this and a good practice generally to make sure your eyes are in good health.

If saturated fat causes heart disease, why did heart disease barely exist before 1920, when saturated fat consumption was at its highest in recorded history? Why did it explode after 1950, when saturated fat consumption fell off a cliff and was replaced with industrial seed oils? Why is the country that consumes the most butter per capita (France) the one with the lowest cardiovascular mortality in Europe? Why did the Inuit, eating 80% fat by calories, have functionally zero coronary disease? These are not gotcha questions. These are the questions the entire foundation of the lipid hypothesis was supposed to answer, and never did. Sixty years on, we're still pretending it did.

I am a biologist. You are conflating two things. The only reason you have life itself is your genes. That does not make intelligence genetic. It’s epigenetic. IQ and intelligence are also not the same thing.

The cost of sequencing a human genome dropped from $100M to less than $100 in about 25 years. That's a million-fold decrease, which outpaces even Moore's Law. We're about to enter the era of personalized medicine.

$BTC update 18th April 2026 These video updates are for educational purposes only and should never ever be considered as investment or trading advice. Always do your own research and planning. $BTC and the crypto currency market have somewhat stabilised in recent weeks as these assets have based into the phase and for the very first time in several months $BTC flipped an SR which triggered long positions in coins such as $DOGE (which itself based in phase after an 85% washout). On the lower timeframes this market is making positive patterns for the very first time since late summer 2025 and that data cannot be ignored and there's potential for some relief in this sector, however there is a caveat to all of this and that is implied volatilities suggest there is potential for a hard sell setting up and that syncs with my higher tf outlook for the crypto market that any move higher is countertrend and there will likely be another wave down 66-68 k is now the SR below (but think about the sideways low and what that tells you about supply and demand and what can happen in the future). above that 70.8k is the local level of demand.

My primary focus in research has been finding the root cause and prevention using interventions ... started with the gut microbiome, diet, and exercise. I worked on the gut-brain axis and finding links ... especially looking into gut permeability and dopaminergic neurons. in most sporadic versions, starting with sleep, diet, and exercise can be utilized to prevent disease risk or predisposition, Right now, we do not have biomarkers that can be tested easily for Parkinson's. This was another angle I explored because PD starts 10-20 years prior to symptoms. If it can be detected prior to the death of dopaminergic neurons ... GREAT. That's when we can nip it in the bud. But currently, doctors/neurologists are still looking at clinical diagnosis when tremors start. This staging was first done in 1967, and they still look at that. At this point, the dopaminergic neurons have already been depleted due to various reasons. Studies have shown 80-90% neuronal death that produces dopamine. The issue is the lack of doctors willing to change to identify this disease earlier. This is why a new PD stage designation has been made by scientists based on biological changes, and this should help to target diseases better. And I call it diseases ... because PD is not one disease and depending on how it manifest there are many types, and I will talk about staging based on peer-reviewed sciences and the different types soon. It's easy to talk about ... good food, GI track, exercise, and preach ... which I did for a while. But then I visited many people and heard what they had to say. Life happens, and the disease (which is 97% sporadic in nature) develops. What about those people? I actively help people with symptoms together with their neurologist, looking at diet and exercise angles. But that only helps to maybe stop progression. That does not take away the fact that 80-90% of the dopaminergic neurons are dead. At that point ... we need clinical interventions. This is why I tend not to judge .... as I said earlier, I have visited PD patients and families and tried to fully understand the intellectual, socioeconomic, and environmental reasons that underlie this disease. For me, the focus is ... what can be done based on the current research at the exact PD stage a person is at.
