New research in Nature just changed how I think about Parkinson’s disease. For years, we treated it as a problem in isolated motor areas that control the hand or foot. But brain imaging across 863 participants suggests something bigger. Parkinson’s may involve a whole body control system in the brain called the Somato-Cognitive Action Network (SCAN). Researchers found that deep brain regions like the substantia nigra become overconnected to this network. Treatments that work, like levodopa and deep-brain stimulation, seem to improve symptoms by normalizing this hyperconnectivity. In a small clinical trial, patients who received magnetic stimulation targeting the SCAN improved twice as much as those treated at traditional limb motor areas. This suggests Parkinson’s might not just be a movement disorder of isolated regions. It may be a network disorder of whole body control. Early results, but a fascinating shift in how we may treat the disease.

The head of the BBC, who’s resigning in disgrace, is admitting that his network is on a “knife edge.” That's the same BBC that misled its audience by splicing together two snippets of President Trump's speech that were 50 MINUTES apart. This is a crisis of its own making.

Low levels of active thyroid hormone cause depression. Depression is linked to low thyroid function, especially low T3, the active thyroid hormone. T4 (levothyroxine) primarily serves as a precursor and must be converted to T3. Poor conversion of T4 to T3 can leave thyroid hormone activity low in the brain, even when standard thyroid lab results look normal.  TSH is a pituitary signal, not a thyroid hormone. A higher TSH can indicate inadequate thyroid effect in tissues even when T4 is still within the reference range. A TSH above 2.5 mU/L is linked with more depressive symptoms in some people treated with T4.  TSH is decreased by cortisol, which may be elevated in depression. Standard thyroid blood tests that focus on TSH and T4 can miss low thyroid activity at the tissue and brain level. T3, reverse T3 (rT3), and the body’s ability to convert T4 into T3 are more relevant to whether thyroid hormone is actually available where it is needed.   Low thyroid hormone activity contributes to depression, including “treatment-resistant” depression.

Depression is a state of low brain energy and low thyroid hormone T3. “We found a decrease in T3 and an increase in TSH levels amongst mild, moderate and severe grade of depression patients.”

Dr. Ben Carson shares a funny story about kids trying whole milk for the first time. “But a couple of months ago, Secretary Rollins and myself were at a school in Pennsylvania” “We were serving the kids lunch.” “And so many of them wanted broccoli.” “But the thing that really was surprising is we, through the Dairy Association, provided each child with whole milk.” “Some of them had never had whole milk before.” “Enthusiasticly they said, ‘This is the best milk I’ve ever had.’” “They’ve been deprived from these things that give you strong bones, strong teeth, and strong membranes for neurotransmission.”

Your brain peaked musically somewhere around age 16. Everything since then has been a dopamine echo. Between the ages of 12 and 22, the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, the same circuit that processes cocaine and sex, fires at levels in response to sound that it will never reach again for the rest of your life. A 2011 McGill study used PET scans and fMRI simultaneously and found that music triggers dopamine release in the striatum at peak emotional arousal. The caudate nucleus lights up during anticipation of the good part. The nucleus accumbens lights up when it hits. Your brain is treating a guitar riff with the same reward architecture it uses for food-seeking and pair bonding. During adolescence, that response is dramatically amplified. Pubertal hormones are flooding the system. The prefrontal cortex is still wiring itself. Memories formed during this window get encoded with a density of emotional tagging that nothing in your 30s or 40s can replicate. Researchers at the University of Leeds identified this as the “reminiscence bump”: the period when your sense of self is forming, and the music playing during that formation becomes structurally integrated into your identity. A 2025 longitudinal study from the University of Gothenburg analyzed 40,000 users’ streaming data across 15 years. Younger listeners explored broadly across genres. Older listeners collapsed into increasingly narrow loops, almost entirely anchored to music from their teens and early twenties. Your brain stopped losing interest in new music years ago. It’s running a cost-benefit analysis. Familiar songs deliver guaranteed dopamine with zero processing cost. New songs require pattern recognition, expectation-building, and repeated exposure before the reward circuit kicks in. Past 25, most people stop paying that tax. The one variable that predicts whether someone keeps exploring: the personality trait “openness to experience.” Score high, you keep seeking. Score average, you default to the familiar forever. The fix, if you want one: deliberate exposure. Three listens minimum before your auditory cortex builds enough predictive models to generate a reward response. One passive listen on a playlist will never get there. Your brain needs repetition to find the pattern, and it needs the pattern to release dopamine.

Unfortunately, as you get older, you gradually become less interested in new music and keep going back to the old favorite songs you once loved.

Please please please let us doctors run healthcare (again). We tried it your way and patients are dying. All you care about is money. It’s time to tear this system down. Patients and doctors are PISSED. We need EVERYONE’s help. Please help us. Please go independent.

Private equity firms bought 500 hospitals. Death rates in their emergency rooms went up 13%. They fired 12% of the staff. Then they paid themselves billions in dividends. A Harvard study just confirmed what doctors already knew: people are dying so investors can hit quarterly targets. Exactly what happens. A PE firm buys a hospital using debt. The debt gets placed on the hospital's balance sheet, not the firm's. Now the hospital owes hundreds of millions it never borrowed. To service that debt, the hospital cuts costs. Costs mean nurses. The numbers from the Harvard/University of Chicago study are horrifying. After PE acquisition, emergency department salary spending dropped 18.2%. ICU salary spending dropped 15.9%. Hospital-wide employees were cut 11.6%. Emergency department deaths rose 13%, seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits. A separate study found patients undergoing surgery at PE-acquired hospitals had 17% higher odds of dying within 90 days. Steward Health Care, owned by Cerberus Capital, filed bankruptcy with $9 billion in debt after closing hospitals across Massachusetts. The CEO lived on a $40 million yacht while emergency rooms went dark. Eight hospitals serving 2 million people nearly disappeared because a PE fund extracted more cash than the system could survive. The private equity industry has poured over $1 trillion into healthcare. They operate a quarter of ERs nationwide. This isn't going away. The investing angle nobody talks about. Non-PE hospital operators like HCA Healthcare (HCA) and Tenet (THC) are the direct beneficiaries. Every time a PE hospital closes or deteriorates, patients flow to the nearest competitor. HCA has returned 1,200% since 2011. Patient volume from PE closures is a structural tailwind nobody's pricing in. Medical staffing firms (AMN Healthcare, Cross Country) charge premium rates specifically because PE hospitals cut staff. The staffing shortage IS the business model for these companies. The disruption play: outpatient surgical centers (SCA Health, now part of UnitedHealth) are pulling profitable procedures out of hospitals entirely. PE-owned hospitals lose their highest-margin surgeries to outpatient, and the death spiral accelerates. Pull up tradevision and monitor healthcare M&A alerts, hospital closure filings, and patient volume migration data. When a PE-owned hospital announces "restructuring," the patient volume shift to competitors like HCA starts within 30 days. That 30-day window is when the competitor's earnings revisions haven't updated yet. Free to try. (a private equity firm bought your local hospital. borrowed $500 million in the hospital's name. fired 12% of the nurses. emergency room deaths rose 13%. then they paid themselves dividends. nobody went to prison. they're currently buying another hospital.)

Dr. Lee Merritt: "Nazi Germany... hid their bioweapons under cancer research and so have we... [and] a guy won the Nobel Prize... [for producing] stomach cancer in rats by giving them a certain type of parasite... [and] I think [parasites have] been weaponized." "It only [works] if...[the] animals... [eat] a high-sugar diet or [are] vaccinated." This clip of Merritt, an orthopedic surgeon who did her residency in the United States Navy and served for over 10 years as a Navy physician and surgeon, is taken from an interview posted to the His Glory TV (@HISGLORYME) Rumble channel on November 4, 2025. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "Why weren't these parasites a problem back then? And I will tell you, there's multiple factors to look at, but I think this has been weaponized. And it turns out that you, that in fact a guy won the Nobel Prize for this that you, to get— They showed that they could produce stomach cancer in rats by giving them a certain type of parasite. And this was also done in Japan with a different parasite. So two different groups of researchers, they showed you could do this. But it only worked if it didn't work in healthy, normal animals. It only worked in animals that either ate a high-sugar diet or were vaccinated. "So let's just think about this. What is the 20th century done in America? We started vaccinating. We started vaccinating the guys going down to World War I. That was when we first vaccinated our troops. And we've been doing it to the military ever since then, at about after World War II, then we took on vaccinating our school children. And then, as I predicted years ago, I said that you people think that these vaccines and school children, you're not standing up against them because you don't think it's gonna bother you. But they're coming after everybody. And that's what they are now, right? "They got the flu shot, the shingle shot. So vaccination does something to make you susceptible to these parasites. Not just this toxoplasmosis one, but the ones that cause cancer and all sorts of things. And what have they done about the food pyramid in the 20th century? We had the food pyramid and the bottom was all carbohydrates. So that's where we [are]. "And one last thing... I'll just say that in 1971, Nixon declared that we were going to stop the bioweapons offensive program in America. And we signed the treaty with I think 178 nations or something like that. We figured, we thought the Soviets turned around and violated it. And all sorts of people violated it. Well, probably everybody violated it, including us. "But, in any case, the same time that we signed that treaty, he converted Fort Detrick [into a] bioweapons lab. He took it to HNHS to be part of the National Cancer Institute. And that happened in Nazi Germany. They hid their bioweapons under cancer research, and so have we."
