@ChrisPalmerMD As a mom attempting to assist her then-college-aged son navigate the onset of a psychotic illness, this analysis resonates. In time I understood the diagnosis didn't matter (3 different diagnoses), but finding the medication that helped him back to himself did.

@Neuroscope_mp My first thought is: keto diets increase betahydroxybuturate with similar signaling to butyrate. Might keto be a dietary intervention here?

@tracybeanz Ph.D. in organic chemistry, recently retired teacher, I can read and analyze science, design experiments, and write about it all. Not sure what your needs are! I've been studying and applying to my life nutrition vs. pharma for many years.

Dear @WhiteHouse, I Know this is a kind shot, but My name is Rodney Smith Jr. I live in Huntsville, AL. I’m currently traveling to all 50 states mowing lawns for veterans, active duty service members, Gold Star families & widows. I’m also sharing their stories . This is my way of honoring them.

As founder of a nonprofit with 6,000+ kids mowing FREE lawns for the elderly, disabled, single parents & veterans nationwide, I’d be honored to bring my USA Flag Mower to mow at the Arlington National Cemetery where veterans rest.

I’m currently in the New England area heading down the East Coast before Florida, then Alaska. Thank you for your consideration.

@ChrisPalmerMD @nicknorwitz posted comments on a study linking chronic stress to decreased autophagy in the brain, a possible cause for depression (in mice). People utilizing public insurance are often subject to chronic stress.

[Lisa Autry @Doc_Aut]

@nicknorwitz Perhaps this is why a keto diet can improve depression, by increasing autophagy?

@nicknorwitz Nick, everything you say re the ivory towers is spot on, and is not new. Rosalind Franklin comes to mind, for example. As a woman earning a PhD in organic chemistry in the 90s, I experienced it too. Keep doing your thing!! You are appreciated.

@nicknorwitz And would you hypothesize that the process is reversible? Can shifting to a lower-inflammatory / higher HDL environment "pull" LDL out of arteries?

[Lisa Autry @Doc_Aut]

@DrEricRodgers @nicknorwitz @Oreo Right! And now they're telling me I need statins. Good to have data like these!!!

[Lisa Autry @Doc_Aut]

@nicknorwitz @Oreo My data would fit nicely into your study... Thank you.

[Lisa Autry @Doc_Aut]

@nicknorwitz @Oreo Nick, would you say that the reverse is true: a person using VLCD to go from obese to not, then maintaining a LCD, would see an increase in LDL if they are metabolically healthy, ie low heart disease risk?

Where is Ozzie? What a joke.

@justaweehaver @EthicalSkeptic Temp increase causes CO2 increase, not the reverse.

@Straight_4ward @Travelers I had a bad experience as well with "claims professionals." Disappointing.

Some students need you to believe in them until they believe in themselves. Some adults do, too!

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Students love coming to school for different reasons. Make sure you’re one of the reasons. Be patient, caring, & understanding. Someone they know has their back, but also high expectations because you want the best for them, so they reach their full potential.

Trying to explain who John Ulett is to my 22 year old daughter during rain delay... she said "as long as he keeps the music bumpin!"

Lou WAS one the nicest human beings ever! Our wedding at old Busch in 1995. He was humble and kind to all. ❤
