Dr Elizabeth Stewart, discusses the many #Fibroids myths.
They are Common, Benign, Not Cancerous
Many women have them & have healthy children. Up to 70% white women & 80% of Black Women have them
They don’t all have symptoms or need treatment if not causing issues
Drugs dont Cure
A critical psychiatrist told me that some of his colleagues prescribe Ritalin, which increases dopamine, and also a neuroleptic, which decreases dopamine, to the same patients. Do these psychiatrists also drive their car by pressing the speed and brake pedal at the same time?
Remembering, on the 10th anniversary of his passing, Andrés Carrasco, the brilliant and honest scientist whose research showed #glyphosate & Roundup cause malformations in embryos—and who dared to point out the terrible damage being done by the #GMO model. https://t.co/KLHSa9GI91
Yep, these too, not quite where you want it: 14% of total condom & lubricants tested had indications of #PFAS “forever chemicals / 25% of lubricants had indications of PFAS

Most surrogate markers used as primary end points in clinical trials to support @US_FDA approval of drugs treating nononcologic chronic diseases lacked high-strength evidence of associations with clinical outcomes from published meta-analyses. https://t.co/eVDkaga5Xt
This highlights a significant issue in clinical research. The use of surrogate markers without strong evidence linking them to actual clinical outcomes can lead to misleading conclusions about drug efficacy. It's crucial for regulatory bodies and researchers to rigorously validate these markers to ensure meaningful patient benefits.

Evidence suggests that people who have used chemical hair straighteners are at a higher risk of developing some cancers. If you’ve been harmed by a hair straightener or relaxer, you may be eligible to join a lawsuit. Here’s what you need to know. https://t.co/zTpsrfKhBK
How many times do NHS doctors need to speak out about the ways in which we’re quietly being replaced by non-doctors, with neither the knowledge nor consent of the UK public?
It’s a patient safety scandal - happening now, driven by @DHSCgovuk, aided & abetted by @gmcuk.
After nearly 28 hours of dumping raw sewage into the Thames from Mogden, @thameswater has now taken the monitoring system offline. It’s almost like they don’t care #tideway#thames#sewage@Feargal_Sharkey
More funding for mental health? Be careful. Our medicalised system has had over 40 years to prove itself. By most measures it has failed: mental health worsening, prescriptions vaulting, outcomes flatlining, morale tumbling. We need more funding, but not for more of the same.
We need to rebalance our provision away from its over-reliance on drugs/diagnoses, funding more community, therapeutic & non-pathologising interventions. So-called radical visions that at bottom will continue to shore up the status quo will never be the solution.
