@tylerblack32 @tylerblack32 - I once asked a surgeon if he'd let a patient with hysterical blindness drive home from an appointment. He replied, "Probably not, but I could".

Shocking: high ranking scientologist believes in Xenu, doesn't believe in ADHD
dank@cptdankkk
Grant Cardone says ADHD is not real "There are no blood tests, chemistry tests, hair tests, or genetic tests. Zero. There is no proof that any of that exists" "You are simply talking to a person and their tribe of brainwashed professionals that have convinced themselves that you have a problem" "The doctors have a problem. They're not solving problems. They're creating more of them"

About CDC's overstatement of prescription opioid OD deaths? I believe that it came out in 2017: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC56… Glad to see that it's been cited so many times!

I do what I can as I can. Gratefully, I was mentored by many still here. I love watching new people pick up the banner and run with it. You too, played a part in that mentoring. Would you post the article about cdc again? Came out in 2018? I think.

Mentor them regarding the need to focus on the quality of and access to multidisciplinary care, in which you believe! Good mentorship rocks! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

Ive had to back away from full time advocating . Its exhausting on every level. Especially those of us who've been here doing this for almost a decade.I am excited to see new leaders emerging.

As I've been saying for years, "opioid access advocacy" is hardly "pain patient advocacy". The legitimate advocates push for overall better care, which often includes opioid analgesia.

@Sixxwitch1 You've gotta admit that JD is a master at weaving bullshit, as he sounds far less ridiculous than the POSPOTUS when he does so. In his own sick way, it makes him even more dangerous.

Prime example of why I can never take these dipshits seriously.

JD Vance argues that Democrats don't actually believe in "No Kings" because they didn't protest King Charles 🥴🥴🥴

"When you have religion you have less crime." How many of the white Christian nationalists that worship the POS have been convicted of sexual assaults, frequently pedophilia?

@sureuwanttoknow @LelenaPeacock What's a "demoncrat"? A typo?

@headdock @LelenaPeacock It's like what they did with SNAP. This demoncrat is nothing but a dictator.

Good luck to patients who have chronic illnesses of any description.
You are about to become a liability to your physician.
Prepare to be tapered off of any medications that improve your quality of life.
Valerie Anne Smith@ValerieAnne1970
RFK Jr: "GROUNDbreaking HISTORIC WIN for American Health!" "For the 1st time in history, doctors will finally get PAID to take patients OFF unnecessary medications...to DEPRESCRIBE harmful pharmaceuticals." No more rewarding over-medication. This is the beginning of putting patients first, reversing polypharmacy, and delivering true healing. Wellness over pills. Freedom over dependency.

@headdock @LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD Are you insulting my religion, so called doctor?
No, it definitely was not a compliment. You're a liar and a hack.
I'd like you to participate in phase I trials, like you put those poor animals thru. Not the safer phase III.
You know, the death sentence trials.
English
☭ People who want to ban red meat are communists.
That's not an insult.
Academics and medical journals (hi, @TheLancet) cite Karl Marx to justify dictating your dietary choices.
@DrLizaMD and I explain here. Full episode below.
Genetic Literacy Project@GeneticLiteracy
'Fossil fuels, pesticides and food processing have dramatically improved living standards around the globe. This may be a controversial claim, but it’s difficult to dispute,' writes @camjenglish. 'Yet this is not the message that comes through when certain academic voices talk about these innovations or the industries that produced them. Consider the curious New England Journal of Medicine (@NEJM) perspective from the @UCSF Center to End Corporate Harm. The article erroneously brands fossil fuels, processed foods, synthetic chemicals and prescription opioids—a diverse array of useful tools when reasonably used—as “corporate vectors” of disease, no different than cigarettes. The framing is overly simplistic and ideological, collapsing distinct tools and risks into a cartoonish conspiracy of corporate villainy.'

@LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD It was a panel on human engineering. Matt is highly respected, and I can promise you that he wouldn't ever advocate for putting people at unnecessary risk! He was giving an example of human engineering, not proposing exposure to tick bites!
English
@headdock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD I am not entirely sure it's all that hypothetical. I am hardly the only one reading it that way.
English
@LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD I just watched Matt's clip. He was talking about human engineering, not having people being bitten by ticks. He was speaking of HYPOTHETICALS. I believe in benefits of human engineering. However, any interventions would be studied in animals for years before trying on humans!
English
No. First of all, there is no way to determine if it would have that outcome.
Second of all, sickening and possibly killing people to achieve that goal is reprehensible. It's reminiscent of something a certain vegetarian tyrant with a tiny mustache might envision.
Just saying.
English
@mistresswitch @LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD Thank you. Being called wacko by a self-proclaimed witch is likely a compliment!!! Based on the European safety data (see the EMA trial results), I'd be happy to be a Phase 3 clinical trial subject....although that would threaten the validity of the trial through likely bias.
English
@headdock @LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD You're a whack a doodle so called doctor.
How about we use you as a lab rat instead.
Sounds ethical to me.
English
@LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD What if the "behavior" ends up making hundreds of millions healthier? 🤔🤔🤔
English
@headdock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD It is wrong to subject human beings to possible anaphylaxis as a means to change behavior.
I won't be weighing in on beagles right now.

English
@LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD I'm coordinating Phase 3 clinical trials for FDA approval of adezunap, a drug now available in a couple of European countries (read up on our amazing pain medication!). Is it wrong to determine how much of it is needed to overdose beagles?
English
@headdock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD It depends. It isn't my favorite.
However, I still maintain doing this to humans is a violation on every level.
English
@LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD Hardly. I love your intellect. And your passion. We test drugs on animals, correct? They are generally "temporarily in the world", right. Is it ethical to test drugs on animals and end up killing them?
English
This is basic. ^Oops, we might kill a few people with anaphylactic shock with Alpha Gal, but we will stop eating red meat!^
That's a problem. I don't need a book to explain that to me.
Also, I am neither unreasonable, nor am I uneducated. That always seems to be your implication. 🤣
English
@LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD Tom and Jim paved the way for approachable medical ethics. Have you ever read their book? Importantly, there is no panacea within any given principle, and in most situations, the 4 need to be weighed together and balanced. I certainly consider myself principle-based, by the way.
English
@LelenaPeacock @camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD I'll respect your right to voice your opinion. I hope that you can respect my right to defend my colleague. By the way - Ethics is not about "right and wrong", but rather about "balance". Perhaps you mean to refer to him as "immoral"?
