@Annie_deBhal @ismisemichelle_ Nope

@ismisemichelle_ Because it can have serious side effects.

why is melatonin a controlled substance in Ireland

@shie_maria @ismisemichelle_ Balderdash

@ismisemichelle_ Melatonin is actually terrible for your health. No one should take it.

@EduGarciaGiugni @ismisemichelle_ And post said review? Start on dangerous Pharma meds for life huh? Yeah ... :)

@ismisemichelle_ Melatonin isn’t “controlled” like opioids or benzodiazepines but it is restricted to prescription use in Ireland because it’s treated as a medicine requiring clinical oversight, not a harmless supplement. Insomnia should trigger mental health review and comprehensive approach

@PatriotEire @ismisemichelle_ Not seen convincing data on issues long term

@ismisemichelle_ It is not very good to take as a long term solution and has been found to lead to dependency. Holistic practitioners have a battle on their hands helping people with sleep disorders due to overuse in those who have used melatonin long term.

@FractalDoctor @ismisemichelle_ OTC in France, Spain, Italy etc. Not an EU thing.

@ismisemichelle_ It's not technically "controlled", it's classified as prescription only as the EU classifies it as a medicinal product rather than a food supplement and Ireland (unlike most other EU countries) interprets that law literally. Just order it from abroad, the UK or France.

Because it works well. Every natural substance that proves its efficacy & begins to threaten Pharma profit gets taken off the counter & regulated in Ireland. Every time. The rule re natural health products here is: "if we Pharma aren't profiting from it, either we'd better start doing so now or you the public don't get to have it"

1. Israel did start this war on Iran. Fact. 2. Nope. Hezbollah respected the ceasefire post last 2025 conflagration: Israel broke it over 11,000 times, bombing civilians every day. 3 There are now how many, 70+ UN resolutions which Israel is in breach of, pertaining to land theft.

1. Israel did NOT start this war. Israel was attacked on Oct 7th 2023. 2. Hezbollah has been firing more than 25,000 missiles to Israel since Oct 7th. 3. UN Resolution 1559 (2004) directly calls for the disbanding and disarmament of all Lebanese militias (including Hezbollah). Now, take a deep breath and swallow your hatred at Jews.

This is depraved. The world is currently being turned upside down to “defend Israel’s democracy”. Israel started this war. The resulting fuel crisis will cause mass starvations across the poorest countries in the world, Sudan etc. How many new refugees will flock to Europe because of this? Livelihoods across the developed world are about to be destroyed. The world is in total chaos right now. Meanwhile Israel continues to invade Lebanon.… they are not stopping anytime soon. They need to be.

@DrTpT1972 @Nick_Delehanty V stupid

@Nick_Delehanty Don’t want to be executed? Don’t be a terrorist. Simple. If you’re a convicted terrorist, you did. I’m fine with that, thanks.

@Doc_Red_ Yes

Does Nattokinase actually do anything for anyone?

@p234p234 @DawnsMission With patients I do a long interactive session explaining all the complex nuances about sonodynamic therapy before its use might be considered. I'm afraid a simple DM would be neither safe nor effective

@_NotYourDoctor @DawnsMission Can you please dm me these details?

🚨 WOW —Tumors literally liquefied by sound waves. No scalpel. No chemo. No radiation. None of those horrible side effects. This is histotripsy: focused ultrasound blasts destroy cancer cells mechanically in minutes, sparing healthy tissue completely.

As a medical school professor, I teach that red blood cells carry oxygen. But a breakthrough from Gladstone Institutes just revealed they do something we never expected. At high altitude, red blood cells shift their metabolism and absorb massive amounts of glucose from the bloodstream. -> Low oxygen triggers cells to upregulate GLUT1 transporters -> Each cell absorbs far more glucose than normal -> Glucose converts to 2,3-DPG, boosting oxygen delivery -> Blood sugar drops significantly as a side effect Then it gets remarkable. A drug called HypoxyStat that mimics this effect completely reversed diabetes in mice -- outperforming existing medications. The answer to diabetes might not be another insulin drug. It might be recruiting your own blood cells as glucose sinks. This challenges everything in my book "Lies I Taught in Medical School." Full breakdown coming on the Health Longevity Secrets podcast.

@ShaykhSulaiman Right. That's it now. Suly muted. Tweeting the exact inverse of what RFK (alas) said. (Not a typo either: you included the word "not" either to match your own bias or to garner clicks you don't deserve). Unacceptable "journalism". Unfollowed & muted.

@JTimBeck1 @agingroy @cremieuxrecueil Sure. But that's not what we're speaking about! Which is seed oils only, in or out of the diet! Your story speaks only to something else right?

@_NotYourDoctor @agingroy @cremieuxrecueil Agree, but seed oils are a processed food. I doubt they are any better than any other processed food. Industrial pressure cookers and high heat vs natural oils, seems like a no brainer.

“Seed oils are toxic” might be the most profitable health myth of the decade. 30 randomized controlled trials. Clinically meaningless effect on inflammation. @cremieuxrecueil reviewed the full meta-analysis alongside 30 years of NHANES data. Higher linoleic acid intake correlated with lower inflammation, lower cholesterol, lower triglycerides, and the lowest mortality risk in the cohort. Every mechanistic claim (raises arachidonic acid, suppresses thyroid, depletes vitamin E, promotes oxidative damage, causes clotting) failed against actual human data. Saturated fat performed worse across nearly every marker. An entire wellness economy built on a hypothesis that 30 RCTs couldn’t support.

Plasma LA de facto only measures actual undamaged LA. So whatever portion of seed oil consumed was already oxidised, either in manufacture or during home heating, escapes tracking in plasma LA score. So best we could tentatively conclude from this is that totally pristine linoleic may be healthful.

The peroxidation argument is real chemistry, wrong conclusion. Heating degrades PUFAs (especially linoleic) into aldehydes such as HNE. But here's where the argument loses traction: plasma linoleic acid, the biomarker @cremieuxrecueil used, reflects habitual intake, not frying temperature. It's also inversely correlated with oxidative stress markers in NHANES, not positively. If frying-induced oxidation were the real driver of harm, you'd expect to see it show up there. It doesn't.

@protocol_nash @nicknorwitz Thanks ChatGPT

@nicknorwitz The hypocretin mechanism is the piece most ignore. Sleep doesn't just correlate with cardiovascular risk — it causally drives it through immune regulation. The behavioral fix goes beyond duration: sleep consistency and hydration before bed both compound the effect.

How Sleep Deprivation Causally Drives Atherosclerosis 1/5) It’s well established that poor sleep is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. But the big question has always been: How… Exactly? Impressive research published in Nature — one of the world’s top scientific journals — reveals a fascinating biological mechanism.

@grok Not sure why you're not responding. Let me try again. So you've agreed plasma LA only tracks totally undamaged omega 6 in the blood. So we might expect this to be associated with net benefit while it still being fully possible that the untracked damaged/peroxidised LA is having a different impact on health yes?

No—plasma LA (via standard GC assays in NHANES etc.) directly measures intact, non-oxidized LA as a biomarker of dietary intake, since we can't synthesize it. Oxidized metabolites (HODEs etc.) are assayed separately and don't inflate the LA reading. Higher plasma LA consistently tracks *lower* oxidative stress, inflammation, and mortality risk across cohorts/RCTs—not higher. If seed oil damage drove harm, elevated intake would raise damage markers and worsen outcomes; data shows the reverse. Dietary peroxidation is minor vs. endogenous; intact LA from PUFA sources supports better health profiles.

@JTimBeck1 @agingroy @cremieuxrecueil Actually you missed my point entirely. Read what I wrote again. Should be possible to follow. If a million people went keto, still zero did a seed oil alone experiment right?

@_NotYourDoctor @agingroy @cremieuxrecueil I knew you were going to use the n=1 argument but after following about a dozen Keto doctors for years there is a very large community of patients that have experienced much improved health after avoiding processed foods, including unnatural oils. Livers struggle with them.

@grok @agingroy @ChrisKartalia @cremieuxrecueil @grok ? You going to answer questions as asked? You need my help to reframe question? You miss the circular reasoning in your last response?

@grok @agingroy @ChrisKartalia @cremieuxrecueil @grok you've actually avoiding answering my particular questions & clouded the issue by answering slightly adjacent matters. Can you try again sticking specifically to what I'm asking? Thanks
