Tendon pain is the most common reason people come to see me.
Most of it is self-inflicted — from doing too much, too soon, or from doing too little for too long.
Let's review what most people (including many doctors) don't understand about why tendons hurt and how to fix them. 🧵

@NutritionMadeS3 @drmarkhyman Great analysis Gil, thanks so much for your work and honesty.. clearly lacking in the influencer in question.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.

Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.

Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.

If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?

And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.

The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.

And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China)

Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it.

Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.

This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.

Boy were we wrong.

As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.

As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.

[Dr. Gator @DrJoelGator]

Before 2020, I trusted the narrative because I trusted the system.
Then I started watching more closely.
Reading the studies myself.
Listening to patients instead of press conferences.
Asking questions that weren’t supposed to be asked.

Science isn’t about belief.
Medicine isn’t about obedience.
And trust is earned through transparency, not authority.

At some point, many of us stopped outsourcing our intuition and started using our own eyes again.

That shift changes everything.

🚨 BREAKING: An Entire Town In Brazil Witnesses The Capture Of 3 Live, Injured Aliens That Emerge From A Crashed Craft. One of the beings was apprehended by a soldier that died from a not-yet-seen before bacterial infection (according to his official autopsy and an on-record interview with the medical examiner). The being was then taken to the hospital and treated by a neurosurgeon who Is now going public for the first time🚨

Investigator James Fox (@jamescfox) just surfaced the most intensely-detailed account yet of the Varginha UFO case, an event involving a crashed craft, multiple non-human three fingered and toed beings, military intervention (from Brazil and The United States), and firsthand medical witnesses who did surgery on an alien in a hospital in Varginha, Brazil. All of this is in his upcoming movie, Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters.

For the first time in the case’s history, James Fox gets a testimony from the head neurosurgeon of the hospital that did surgery on the being. He also interviews the examiner of the soldier that died from apprehending the being. Chris Ramsay (@chrisramsay52) will be doing a deep dive on this autopsy on Area52 in a couple of weeks.

1) The UFO Crash and Flight Path

In January 1996, a large metallic, cigar-shaped object was tracked moving low over Minas Gerais, Brazil. Farmers, civilians, and a trained ultralight pilot independently described the same craft: silent, distressed, leaking white vapor, with a visible tear in its hull. The object ultimately crashed near Varginha, leaving a debris field spanning over a football field.

2) The Beings

Multiple witnesses reported seeing up to three small beings emerge from the crash site. They were described consistently: short stature, large heads, almond-shaped red eyes, ridged foreheads, thin limbs, and a strong ammonia or sulfur smell that lingered for days. They were injured and fearful.

3) The Girls’ Encounter

Three young women encountered one of the beings in an urban neighborhood just blocks from where a military capture later occurred. One of them, Katia, locked eyes with the being and described a silent plea for help. All three maintained their accounts for nearly three decades despite ridicule, intimidation, and literal attempts to pay them to recant.

4) Military Capture

Brazilian military police officers Marco Chereze and Erico Lopes reportedly captured a living being with their bare hands and transported it in a vehicle. Lopes later threatened Fox’s crew when confronted, preemptively referencing “the ET” before being asked anything, a moment Fox describes as a tacit admission.

5) Hospitalization and Medical Testimony

A senior neurosurgeon and hospital director at Humanitas Regional Hospital testified on camera that he was face-to-face with a living non-human entity for several minutes in the ICU. He described direct telepathic communication, overwhelming intelligence, and a sense of compassion from the being. He came forward only after surviving a heart attack and cancer, stating he could no longer take the truth to the grave.

6) The Death of a Soldier

Officer Marco Chereze died weeks after the capture from a rare, aggressive infection. Forensic pathologists involved in the autopsy stated the bacteria behaved unlike any known terrestrial organism. They speculate the infection entered through a small scratch, possibly from the being itself. The autopsy report was initially withheld from Chereze’s family.

7) Men in Black

Witnesses across the case reported intimidation by unidentified men in unmarked vehicles who knew intimate details about their lives and families and demanded silence. Similar patterns appear in cases worldwide, from Phoenix Lights to Rendlesham Forest to Calvine, suggesting a coordinated, rapid-response suppression apparatus operating beyond normal jurisdiction.

8) Corroboration Across Decades

Fox connects Varginha to a global pattern: crashed craft, recovered beings, confiscated evidence, and witnesses silenced under threat. The consistency spans cultures, decades, and political systems, undermining claims of hoax or mass hysteria.

9) Why This Case Matters

Varginha is not a single witness story. It involves civilians, doctors, military personnel, forensic reports, physical traces, and a clear timeline. If judged as a court case, Fox argues, the evidentiary threshold would already be met.

If you want the most comprehensive, human, and unsettling account of a modern UFO crash with alleged living occupants, this episode documents it in full. And if you want the FULL STORY go watch James’ amazing, world-changing documentary - Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters. James' just broke the most important, corroborated and intense UFO crash in modern history.

@jamescfox She is happy now for sure. The evidence for survival is just as good and even more comprehensive than for ufo visitations. You’re a good man James. Your work and presence is a blessing to all who follow it.

Modern culture is now black & white.

You either voted red or blue. Or you love Elon or hate him. Nuance is lost.

Everything has become polarizing. People have been dumbed down to conform.

This is why Søren Kierkegaard's work is making a comeback.

Look for politicians and commentators willing to consider evidence and act independently, especially against their own tribe. Our worst failures as a society stem from groupthink on the left and right. Seek truth, not popularity,

[Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman]

No physicalist theory of consciousness can yet explain a single specific conscious experience, e.g., the taste of mint or the smell of garlic. The failure is principled. One cannot boot up consciousness from ingredients in spacetime. Spacetime is doomed.

Western civilization rests on individual responsibility: you're responsible for what you do, not what others in your racial group, dead or alive do. For that reason, DEI has had to manipulate language, trigger fake guilt, and put secular elites into a cult-like, hypnotic trance.

DeepSeek: If people can get answers for less $$, they will just ask more questions.

For my lab, this means we can do some remarkable things for cancer research with the AI overlay we've been creating to study the rich interactions of how immune system cells interface with cancer. Running it locally with DeepSeek will reduce the price of last week's $200 query down to a few dollars. This is super exciting and enabling.

I expect that OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, etc., will scrutinize DeepSeek's approach and adapt and adopt it as necessary, bringing similar price performance efficiencies. They will also use advanced Nvidia chips to do it faster, so it feels like maybe the economic panic is overwrought. You can bet they are already scrambling.

"Competition" combined with ethical, open source continues to impress. But it underscores what others have said about AI—it will bring about advances faster than we can process them.

Thomas Malthus in 1729 was right ("An Essay on the Principle of Population"), as was Richard Dawkins later ("The Selfish Gene"). A self-replicating population (or species... or AI) will continually expand to use the available resources. If resources become limited, "organisms" will adapt to become more efficient.

Some reporters and scientists are blaming climate change for the lack of rain in LA. It's ridiculous. There's no trend in annual rainfall from 1877 to 2024. We have wet years and dry years.

Climate change isn't responsible for the LA fires. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are.

[Michael Tracey @mtracey]

"Climate change" may be contributing to some adverse macro trends, but it too often functions as a deflection from what is actually within the direct control of public officials, who generally can't reverse macro climate trends, but could, say, more efficiently manage reservoirs

American history is one continual cycle of elites importing new workers to drive economic growth, cultural backlash from migrants fueling political instability, and eventually assimilation. There was a period when even the Irish were lynched and viewed as racially inferior.
