@justalexoki This isn’t quite that. Feel like the joke is that he’s hard to recognise because the beginning of his reels are so generic, and even if you’ve seen him do this bit 5 times, he tends to get you again before you can recognise him.

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@awgaffney @Etanarachel Strongly agree. Medicine enthusiasts love speculating about mechanisms and theory. Doctors know that this is mostly irrelevant next to what the trials show

Vitamin D injection -> more energy https://t.co/A6cgzdaFr6

[Sam Thorne @Strippin]

Doc gave me a vitamin D injection cos I had 'dangerously low Vitamin D levels' in my blood and I feel like I could fight godzilla you mother fuckers have had this much energy this whole time????

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

Main take away from becoming a doctor is that as disappointing as evidence-based medicine is, it’s still 100x better than personal anectode-based medicine.
People love “I did X and then Y” but it’s more often noise than useful information.

> fixed half-decade long shoulder injury
> didn’t even need to inject
> available literally everywhere

@HughGriffin2 These guys are cookers and probably doing tax evasion but they’re not admitting to tax evasion here, just to avoiding transaction fees.

@lymanstoneky That’s funny, the missing data I inferred actually shows that’s I’m right and you’re wrong

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@NobleRingleader @angryhacademic I don’t see why. If it is a metabolic thing it could be anywhere in here: (and maybe it’s not metabolic)

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@NobleRingleader @angryhacademic Mitochondrial issues being the root cause of ME/CFS is one of many theories, I wouldn’t state it as if it’s fact

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@NobleRingleader @angryhacademic It sounds like absolute torture. I’ve heard personal stories both ways. From people who say that being encouraged to push through/perservere/ignore made everything, worse, and also the opposite (e.g. any of the 1000 gushing reviews of John Sarno’s book on Amazon)

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@NoahRyanCo Would you recommend something to read about this that’s not just anectodes? Trying to understand this

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@maximumwelfare I used to think that poverty could be solved by giving money to everyone who’s poor and then I started working in the hospital with battlers every day and learned that JobSeeker gives diminishing returns on having a shit childhood and intergenerational trauma.

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

The biggest shift in my understanding about this issue was that health insurance companies have slim profit margins, approx 5%. Even if government ran it just as efficiently (big “if”), they’d have to be almost exactly as stingy. This is the case in Aus.

sorry but Mark Twain already made the perfect reply to this bullshit line of reasoning about 150 years ago

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@SalvMattera Shattering and valuable story. Thanks for sharing. Resonates with me as a doctor that struggles with medicine’s inability to help many people. Agree that false hope is often better than nothing when nothing the only other option on the menu

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@justalexoki This meta-analysis suggests strong effects of CBT, which implies some gut-brain axis component, but also the quality of RCTs is rated as poor: https://t.co/1SEEDD4bik

@daveclarkemd Neuroplastic/psychosomatic chronic pain is a diagnosis of exclusion is it not? When you say 88% of cases were neuroplastic do you really mean that in 88% of cases we couldn’t figure out what was going on?

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@Liv_Boeree Why do you think the Cochrane review was negative?

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@clairlemon The data might look different if it was measured in women who are specifically trying to get pregnant

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@ImmunoFever Eye tracking is interesting but is it just n=1? Is it seen consistently in others and if so why can’t it be used as a diagnostic marker?

[Henry Howard @HenryACHoward]

@danaparish If spirochetes can really be found in 8/10 patients with MS, it should be really easy to confirm this by PCR looking for spirochetes DNA. What’s your explanation for why no-one’s done this in the 20 years since?
