@EFennellGolf Congratulations Elise. You are excellent golfer. A great student and person. Good luck!

Thank you ISU, forever grateful for the last two years. Excited for the next adventure!

@StevenBrust I'll back to you on this after I address a production outage/issue ;-)

Warm greetings to all on this day of international working class solidarity.

@Rainmaker1973 Sunlight, in moderation, is also good for health.

Vitamin D supplementation may dramatically improve breast cancer treatment outcomes. A new randomized clinical trial found that women with breast cancer who took vitamin D while undergoing chemotherapy were 79% more likely to experience complete disappearance of their tumors. The study, conducted at São Paulo State University in Brazil, followed 80 women over age 45 receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (treatment before surgery to shrink tumors). Half received 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily, while the other half received a placebo. After six months, 43% of the women in the vitamin D group achieved a pathological complete response (no detectable cancer at surgery), compared to just 24% in the placebo group. Many participants started the study with low vitamin D levels, which researchers believe may have amplified the benefit of supplementation. While vitamin D is well-known for supporting bone and immune health, emerging evidence suggests it may help make tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. [Omodei, M. S., et al. (2025). Vitamin D Supplementation Improves Pathological Complete Response in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Nutrition and Cancer, 77(6), 648–657.

@Grady_Booch BOOCH SMASH PUNY TOASTER?

When I was a child, I never expected that as an adult I'd get in arguments with my toaster.

@danaparish @julia_doubleday Chicago "health" highlights wastewater viruses according to marketing budget for "vaccines". The entero / rhino virus has the highest levels by far. Congestion, sore throat & some fatigue. Quest PCR respiratory panel is poor, use others. It was nasty last spring.

@julia_doubleday Huge uptick in resp illnesses now in NYC. Tons of coughing, urgent cares full. Idk what’s going around but don’t want it.

This is a nice lull and great news. As a reminder, in fall 2021 (post vaccine), Fauci said a reasonable level of covid circulating to remove precautions would be 10k cases/day. This is the first time we’ve fallen below 100k cases/day in the nearly 5 years since

@Grady_Booch Can we query you with Markdown?

@RepMikeQuigley @KenCalvert It would be worthwhile to check underlying chronic infections as part of this research.

This week I introduced my bill to reauthorize the ACT for ALS: my program to fund research into #ALS treatments. I was proud to pass the original ACT for ALS in 2021, which funded five years of research. I’m leading this bipartisan effort with Rep @KenCalvert, Senator @ChrisCoons, and Senator @LisaMurkowski. I am also thankful for the support of @iamalsorg, @alsassociation, @MDAorg, and @ALSUnitedIL. quigley.house.gov/media-center/p…

@michaelmina_lab @lindseyvonn @Invivyd Will that include HLA genetics evaluation in conjunction with bacteria, virus, mycotoxins, metals and injected ingredients?

Love that @lindseyvonn has partnered with us @Invivyd to raise awareness around the importance of the immune system to maintain health and wellness, and recovery #AntibodiesforAnyBody is a national campaign focused on antibodies and health See here: antibodiesforanybody.com

@danaparish @tallowqueen Failed with me and one other I know. The CDC would not acknowledge my polite feedback to them on this "treatment".

@tallowqueen OMG. Single dose doxy doesn’t prevent Lyme! It prevents Lyme RASH. Treat tick bites with a full course of Doxy or gamble with your future.

Good time to remind people that through telehealth, you can fake a bacterial sinus infection if you know what to say. You will get a doxy script. A SINGLE dose of doxy is 87% effective in preventing if you find a tick within 72 hours. Most doctors won’t prescribe it.

@RepMikeQuigley More efficiency across appliances, hvac, distribution grids, etc along with pricing by relative usage would help.

I recently joined the Rally Against Peoples Gas because utility companies are raising rates on Chicagoans—even though their executives are getting big bonuses. We need to stop this and bring down energy prices⚡️🔋

@JalenRose @Tubi That was great watching you guys. Well done. Almost brings me back to 1991 in South Quad.

We’re all smiles as all episodes of South West High are now streaming on @Tubi 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

@BayAreaLyme Coinciding with the areas that had above average temperatures this past winter?

⚠️ We are alarmed by the numerous reports we’re seeing on an explosion of ticks already! We agree with treating shoes with Permethrin (follow instructions on bottle) and doing lots of tick checks! Throw clothes into the dryer for 10-15 min as well after possible exposure.

@WilliamShatner Are you sure? I suspect Scotty could've used Malort to regenerate Dilithium Crystals... ;-)

Single malt would have been better. 😏

@CharlesWoodson You weren't watching Michigan hockey while following the Connecticut game? ;-)

To think I almost took a nap at halftime that was an unbelievable comeback #buildyourlegend

@chicagobars @GovPritzker @ChooseChicago @IllinoisDCEO Absolutely!

Your move here is quite obvious @GovPritzker @ChooseChicago @IllinoisDCEO…bring the National Blues Museum home…to sweet home Chicago!

@RepMikeQuigley Our healthcare is poor today. The entire system & incentives need to be reworked to: * incentivize patient research & education * improve diagnostic tests for chronic conditions * improve food supply (regenerative agriculture) * isolate pharma interventions (including vaccines)

They’re cutting your healthcare to pay for their war. Again.

Americans want affordable healthcare—not another war in the Middle East.

@chicagobars I don't remember them mentioning bribes ;-)

VERY IMPORTANT DAY TODAY IN LEGISLATIVE PROCESS EDUCATION!

@Rainmaker1973 Most/all scientists and engineers have underestimate/oversimplify complexity of biological interactions within a moderately sized biome. It seems like there is more downside risk than upside benefit.

In a major step forward for public health, genetically modified mosquitoes have officially been released in Florida to help fight the spread of dangerous diseases. The project focuses on the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the primary carrier of Zika, dengue, and yellow fever. Bioengineered male mosquitoes — which do not bite — are being introduced into the environment. These males carry a self-limiting gene that is passed to their offspring. When they mate with wild females, the female offspring inherit the gene and die before reaching adulthood, gradually reducing the population of disease-carrying mosquitoes. Although Aedes aegypti represents only a small fraction of the total mosquito population, it is responsible for transmitting the most serious illnesses. By specifically targeting this species, the initiative aims to suppress disease transmission without harming beneficial insects or relying heavily on chemical insecticides. This U.S. field trial builds on highly successful programs in countries such as Brazil and Panama, where similar techniques reduced local Aedes aegypti populations by more than 90%. Researchers hope the self-sustaining nature of the genetic modification will provide a more effective and sustainable alternative to traditional pest control methods, potentially transforming how the world manages invasive, disease-spreading mosquitoes.

@RepMikeQuigley I agree nobody should get sick from eating food...And yet the FDA allows garbage in food that greatly increased chronic disease & death. Start eliminating the artificial ingredients in all the food here so it is like the healthy food in Europe.

Companies like Raw Farm are taking advantage of raw milk conspiracy theories in order to push their unsafe products. At least seven people have caught E. coli from their cheese. My colleagues and I on the Food Safety Caucus are calling for the FDA to force a recall on Raw Farm cheese immediately. No one should get sick from their food. newsweek.com/raw-farms-chee…
