@MaryBowdenMD Wrote a case study on using nicotine patches to treat an acute covid associated cholinergic crisis with rapid resolution of symptoms. Likely saved the patient. My current place of employment doesn’t seem interested

Are you using nicotine to treat long haul covid or vaccine injury? One of my toughest vaccine-injured patients told me yesterday that nicotine is the only thing she’s found helpful. She has recurrent electrical sensations that course through her body multiple times a day, even during sleep,

I’m glad. That’s great for your n=2 but that’s what you can call anecdotal. Evidence and real world translation states otherwise. Even mild infection can cause chronic issues hence why we saw elevated TMA levels in children, who seem to be hit the least initially. Now long COVID has hit that group despite them not having the same vaccination rate as adults. Even with it being underdiagnosed or excused away. Seroprevalence also doesn’t make a ton of room for zero infection individuals. Not saying there aren’t hence my reference to hla/mhc1 aggressive expressors. But chances are there wasn’t a ton of testing going on on an individual level like that.

@HedgePayCEO @EthicalSkeptic Point is you can't make claims on your anecdotal evidence because your patients are vaccinated - can't isolate out if they get cancer because of CV or the vax. I had CV once only - my husband got in 0 times. Unvaxxed. Only people I know who got it more than once are vaxxed.🤷‍♂️

If your family was Covid Vaccinated... Quietly (if you must) encourage change in your diet, health, and cancer screening practices inside your family. This is vital... You do not have to agree with this or change your angry politics. At least have compassion for your family - warn them...

@EthicalSkeptic This idea is fascinating. Looking forward to reading more about it

@HedgePayCEO Correct. Covid mutates slowly - on par with all HCoV's. So, these viruses were already around - and explained the 1 to 47 lower death rate in the PacRim/SW Asia.

@EthicalSkeptic @Cryptogal3 lol yeah I can say this. People get reinfected whether they took the shot or not. And each subsequent reinfections is not benign. That being said there is some evidence of people who have aggressive hla/mhc1 responses that may not get reinfected as easily.

@Cryptogal3 @HedgePayCEO This is a good point, the vaccinated had a 2.6 x more likely rate of re-infection as of 2022, and even greater risk of multiple/reinfections than this over time.

@EthicalSkeptic Hadn’t heard this hypothesis. Would make more sense than delta -> omicron I suppose. Especially with the whole “it was just immune pressure” excuse, that being said, genomic sequencing and surveillance isn’t really my specialty. Will have to look into what you said

@HedgePayCEO Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 were already 5 years distant from each other in Nov 2021 when they were discovered. They had already been around since 2017 and were likely released as two distinct variants in the initial mass virus release in China in 2017 (many viruses escaped).

Could be. I think QC was trash because there was a lack of incentive associated with legal indemnity. However I am seeing a lot of increase in ANA positivity and chronic inflammation with recent symptom onset. Some without getting a shot at all. Post infection, maybe lingering low grade infection like a flame that doesn’t go out. Maybe there’s the issue with original antigenic sin too. Could make a case for exosomal shed I suppose. Why antibodies instead of tcells was the focus doesn’t make sense to me with a virus that mutates so quickly. Also the mutations we’ve seen make me suspect a bit of fuckery. Most of them made sense. Omicron straight up fucking did not.

@HedgePayCEO I think there is plausibility to that inference, however, the asymmetry timing and match to VAERS reports suggests that the vaccine is 90% of this, easily.

@FrenchTallow @aestheticprimal Elemental diet is more effective for sibo imo

@aestheticprimal My mom took this probiotics and it caused permanent bloatings and distended belly , which looks like SIBO, conventional antibiotics are not working

Of all the probiotics out there, one obscure Japanese probiotic gets the least attention eliminate this probiotic from the gut-microbiome of rats and they quite literally become losers at an instant. essential for gene expression in the prefrontal cortex (through Butyrate)

@TakeWeightOffMD @TheDrMAWZ A lot of those are labs…

@TheDrMAWZ I don’t care about labs as much as I care about CIMT and plaque regression. Then HsCRP, MPO, LpPLA2, ADMA, SDMA, ceramides, TMAO and ApoA/B ratio.

Statins vs nattokinase is a boring debate The real question is which one moves your labs with fewer side effects

@MichaelAlbertMD The COI here is not negligible

The cholesterol wars are over. LDL won. New guidelines. Four landmark trials. An oral PCSK9 inhibitor that matches injectables. And data proving we should be treating patients we currently aren't. Here's everything clinicians need to know. 🧵

@reality19713 weird way to say you can't read

@HedgePayCEO I am. OP is lying.

Every single person around us is sicker than they were 5 years ago. Every. Single. Soul.

@Catheri49917567 @DrJackKruse hahahahhahahahahah

@HedgePayCEO @DrJackKruse Well it’s spraying fluoride up next to your penal gland so it probably doesn’t help.

Explanation for Rockefeller-trained MDs (the ones still teaching the membrane-pump model while your own textbooks’ own history proves it was falsified decades ago): The post you just read is not hyperbole. It is the precise diagnosis of why cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disease remain “unsolved” after 70+ years of “more data, more pathways, more drugs.” The living cell is not a bag of salty water surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane with Na/K-ATPase pumps burning ATP to keep sodium out and potassium in. That model was experimentally falsified by 1962 using three independent lines of evidence, yet it remains in every textbook because the Flexner-era curriculum cannot survive without it. Now what nomind did not do.....is go beyond Ling. Ling was right but the science was not precise. This paper in 2025 explains why his post is accurate. The 2025 Nature Physics paper I'm linking here (nature.com/articles/s4156…) is the Rosetta Stone that translates the historical experiments into modern information thermodynamics. What Ling never realized is that biology is not fundamental, but physics is. It proves experimentally, in a real quantum many-body system, that adding information where it does not belong raises the Landauer cost and explodes entropy production. That is exactly what centralized Rockefeller medicine circus maximus plan has been doing for decades: piling more molecular detail, more genomics, more pathways onto a foundationally wrong first-principles model. The result is not progress, it is magnified entropy, more disease, and more Rockefeller fiat profit from the downstream patching. Some of us used Ling's idea to build the new system. Those people need to read that system to understand all the problems have been solved by decentralized science by Nature.

NEW: Tennessee grandmother spends five months in jail after facial recognition links her to crimes in North Dakota, a state she says she never visited Angela Lipps, 50, was arrested at gunpoint by U.S. Marshals at her home in Elizabethton while babysitting four children She was held in jail for 108 days without bail and later flown to North Dakota on felony fraud charges The case stemmed from a Fargo investigation into someone using a fake U.S. Army ID to withdraw money Her attorneys provided records showing she was in Tennessee at the time of the alleged crimes. Lipps said it took five minutes of questioning for the case to fall apart She was released on Christmas Eve after charges were dismissed without prejudice. Fargo’s police chief later admitted investigators made multiple errors but did not apologize

@reality19713 I wish you were right medrxiv.org/content/10.110… thelancet.com/callback?red_u… nature.com/articles/s4159…

@HedgePayCEO That’s not true

@CoffeeBlackMD Timelines mitopure is a worthwhile addition, personal experience. Had long covid in 2023. Couldn’t workout for a year but never felt normal and felt sick everytime I lifted until 3 months into its use. $$$ tho

@MetabolicHell No wonder thiamega is never in stock. He’s eating it all himself

Incredible

@aestheticprimal Not worried about prions?

There are not many things better for your brain than injecting centrifuged pig brains (Cerebrolysin) into your quadriceps.

@ArtemisConsort Weird how it started in 2020. Such an uneventful year

If you incentivize something, you get more of it. *Having* a disability, in and of itself, is obviously bad. *Saying* you have one is beneficial. Same with the SF homelessness problem. Gee, why does the city that’s most accommodating to the homeless have so many homeless?
