My review of Bruce Ratner's book "Early Detection", it details the profound impact of #cancer screening tests, like the PAP smear, which almost eliminated mortality from cervical cancer - what if we can do that for more cancers ?

Ovarian cancer has no screening test.

Bloating every day for 2 weeks isn't 'just your period it can be dangerous to kill you

Ovarian cancer is often found late because the symptoms look like everyday problems

Impact of sleep on health from a large @uk_biobank study confirms reduced risk of disease from getting 6-8 hrs sleep per night- thank you @EricTopol for sharing @PLOSMedicine

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Real world sleep patterns and disease risk from >95,000 @uk_biobank participants @PLOSMedicine
6-8 hours of sleep duration is good and "can effectively reduce the risk of multiple diseases" (but that implies cause and effect, not established )
More REM linked to lower risk of 83 diseases, including dementia, Parkinson's and heart failure
More Deep sleep associated with lower risk of 7 diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes and major depressive disorder

Healing back pain by addressing anger - body mind control

[Carnivore Aurelius ©🥩 ☀️🦙 @AlpacaAurelius]

john sarno is f**king genius

this man cured over 100,000 people of back pain, not through stretching, surgery or physical therapy.

he cured people through getting them to release their anger.

sarno predicted that modern man was going through an epidemic of pain because we have an epidemic of repressed anger.

we were all taught that we couldnt feel our anger, because it was dangerous, and this manifests as bodily tension, headaches, IBS and back pain.

he is the OG mind-body medicine guy.

your emotions control your physical body far more than you realize

[Gitte Pedersen @DNABARCODE]

Interesting

[Dalton (Analyze & Optimize) @Outdoctrination]

Glycine almost completely prevents kidney stones in experiment.

People with kidney stones have LOW glycine,

& glycine prevents kidney stones in animals by:

• Promoting citrate excretion, which binds excess calcium, preventing crystallization
• Decreasing oxalate excretion

Do not eat - thank you @drmarkhyman for sharing #food #longevity

[Mark Hyman, M.D. @drmarkhyman]

Do not eat these. Discard immediately if you recognize any of these in yours or a loved one’s kitchen, it’s the easiest act of love you can do for them today.

A French study in PLOS Medicine examined the impact of emulsifiers (food additives used to improve texture and extend shelf life) on cancer risk.

Researchers analyzed data from 92,000 adults over nearly 7 years and found that certain emulsifiers significantly increased cancer risk:

Mono & diglycerides of fatty acids (E471)—found in processed baked goods, margarine, and ice cream—were linked to:
15% higher risk of overall cancer
24% higher risk of breast cancer
46% higher risk of prostate cancer

Carrageenan (E407 & E407a)—a thickening agent in dairy alternatives, deli meats, and plant-based products—was linked to:
32% higher risk of breast cancer.

Cancer is complex and multifactorial, but one thing is certain: the food we eat plays a massive role in shaping our long-term health. Cutting out ultra-processed foods and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods is one of the most powerful steps you can take to reduce disease risk.

Thank you to my friend Vani Hari for this image + bringing awareness to this critical issue.

Sun is important for #vitamin D production but how much and when - thank you @MattZirwas for sharing #Skincancer

[Matthew Zirwas, MD @MattZirwas]

I’m a dermatologist. I’m supposed to say there is no amount of safe sun exposure.

But I won’t, because that’s a lie.

The attached shows how much sun is safe in different cities at different times of year.

What do I mean by ‘safe’?

I mean this: UV causes DNA damage and skin cancer.

But, shockingly, your body repairs that damage. As long as the damage doesn’t outpace repair and start accumulating it shouldn't increase your risk of skin cancer.

Data just came out that tells us how much UV you can get without damage accumulating.

They took the people most susceptible to DNA damage from UV and exposed them to UV, then did skin biopsies to measure the damage, then more skin biopsies to measure the repair, and repeated it daily for 4 days.

At 1.6 ‘Standard Erythemal Dose’ (SED) there was no accumulation of damage.

So, the attached charts show how much sun it takes to get 1 SED in different cities at different times of the year at different times of day.

And there are extra safety margins built in. It assumes a perfectly clear day with zero air pollution and that the sun is hitting your skin perpendicularly. Unless you’re laying flat, most sun is hitting you at an angle, which isn’t nearly as intense.

But a bigger question you might be asking is ‘Why would a dermatologist be telling you to get sun in the first place?’

Because getting sun reduces your risk of death.

Mostly by reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes. That is very well proven.

But it’s also very likely that sun exposure reduces your risk of autoimmune disease, dementia, cancer and depression. It’s just not as well proven as the protection against heart attacks and strokes.

And before you reply and say ‘just take vitamin D!’, know that it has been ROBUSTLY proven that vitamin D has little (if any) benefit for preventing any of the above. Vitamin D is mostly useful as a marker of if you’re getting enough sun.

What do I do myself and what do I tell my patients?

Get as much unprotected sun exposure as you can without getting a burn.

That’s my GUESS as to what has the best risk/benefit ratio. Dying of skin cancer is actually really rare, especially when compared to the risk of heart attacks, strokes, autoimmune disease, dementia and other cancers.

But I’ll admit it’s not for sure best to get as much sun as possible, since sun does increase the risk of skin cancer and it might be the case the benefits plateau at a low level.

So, if you’re really worried about skin cancer stick to the charts.

The best science I can find says that amount won’t cause skin cancer.

The takeaway?

Sun is good for you, just don’t get a burn.

I had no idea thank you for sharing @bryan_johnson. I was in New York how bad was our numbers @Macys fireworks #USA250

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

D.C. is giving itself a hazardous dose of toxins tonight

> largest fireworks in U.S. history
> dropping 9 metric tons of toxic chemicals on city
> air quality 2-8x higher than "hazardous"
> toxins 17-57x higher than acceptable levels
> chemicals settling into ground, water, food

Ave person will inhale:
> 81 ug Strontium: deposits in lung tissue
> 81 ug Barium: potent gastrointestinal, cardiac toxicant
> 27 ug Aluminum oxides: pulmonary inflammation
> 27 ug Titanium oxides: pulmonary inflammation
> 27 ug Copper: oxidative stress respiratory
> 27 ug Antimony, trace compounds: known carcinogen

It will be an acute exposure. Also, idk, is there another way to celebrate our 250th?

[Gitte Pedersen @DNABARCODE]

So important to keep research funding in place - here are some key examples @EricTopol @novonordisk

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Two of the most important biomedical breakthroughs came from science of the Gila lizard venom (GLP-1s) and yogurt (CRISPR genome editing).
"The system that turned that lizard into a medicine is now being dismantled."
"Less support for scientists means strange questions no one will get to chase."
