After just 14 weeks. Results like this are unheard of for #anorexia with standard of care treatments. Bring on the #RCT and so appreciate @GuidoFrank's ground breaking study accumulating evidence to support his existing theory.

"By the end of the study, 72% of the participants had EDE-Q and depression scores within the normal range, indicating significant improvements in eating disorder symptoms, including reduced dietary restraint, less concern about food and body shape, and improved mood."

Thiamine (vitamin B1) megadosing improved survival by over 8X in sepsis, a condition that kills ~20% of all people, in a recent study.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

PUBLIC "IN THE DARK" about new 2024 UK law mandating the addition of synthetic folic acid to all white flour, including organic. Mass medication of the public with uncontrolled dose of chemical that can cause serious side-effects.

Have you ever heard such nonsense.

Sainsbury’s are no longer going to stock brown eggs & is transitioning to white eggs only to reach net zero targets.

I feel like we are living in a twilight zone.

Help 🙀 the worlds gone mad 😠

[Matthew Baszucki @matthewbaszucki]

Nobody told me that olanzapine would make me gain 40 pounds.

Nobody told me the anticonvulsant I was on could cause a protracted withdrawal injury if I came off it too fast.

Nobody told me that the discontinuation studies used to approve these medications were ABSOLUTELY FLAWED in their methodology.

I had to learn all of this myself, years later, after the damage was done. This is what happens when you trust a system designed for PROFIT.

[Erin Louise Bellamy PhD @erinlbellamy]

This case shows what happens when you target the biology beneath the diagnosis.
Not the label. Not just the symptoms.
Ketones changed her brain.

GROUNDBREAKING: Study on ketogenic diet for anorexia, from @GuidoFrank & team:

W/ ketogenic diet - 72% of patients didn't meet criteria for anorexia after 14 weeks. Let that sink in.

Standard of care gets 0-25% remission. Partial hospital programs move EDE-Q scores from 4.08 to 3.09. This UCSD trial moved them from 4.11 to 1.72, below the clinical cutoff for anorexia nervosa.

The mechanism: anorexia may be a metabolic disorder. Brain glucose metabolism is dysregulated. The drive to restrict isn't purely psychological, it's a fuel problem, and ketones bypass that entirely.

Also, no weight loss. Everyone in the eating disorder field was afraid of that. Average BMI actually increased slightly.

"I wish I had known about this treatment years ago." "I did not think I could change." These are people with chronic anorexia who had been through multiple treatment centers.

Anorexia has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric disorder and no approved biological treatment. This is the most promising data the field has seen in a long time.

Metabolic psychiatry is coming for every diagnosis conventional psychiatry couldn't crack.

I eat 1.3 pounds of ribeye, eight eggs, and beef tallow most days. Same meal, same time (2pm). Some variation but not much, strict carnivore.

My ketone levels run between 1.5 and 4 millimolar around the clock. My mood (formerly bipolar swings) was 100% stable through a breakup in December, a cross-country move earlier this year, a job change, and a medication taper, all within a few months.

Before keto, any one of those things would have sent me into a manic episode. All four of them at once would have put me in a hospital.

Ketosis is truly remarkable.

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.

Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.

I don't want Bovaer in my milk.
I don't want folic acid in my flour.
I don't want fluorine in my drinking water.
I don't want palm oil in my chocolate.
I don't want margarine in my cakes.
I don't want my fruit and veg sprayed with glyphosate.
I don't want my apples coated with Apeel.
I don't want my fish and chips cooked in veg oil.
I don't want crappy processed mayo on my burger.
I don't want roast spuds out of a freezer.
I don't want non-grass-fed beef.
I don't want farmed salmon.
I don't want GMO garbage.

... so I don't consume any of these products.

How sad we allow clowns to fcuk around with our food and drink in this way though. 🤦‍♂️

@seizuresalad This is the way - your colour matching is on point 👌

[Cheryl Coombs @bantingbrainiac]

@seizuresalad Definitely the best one yet.

[Mimi @mimikmorgan]

People get so attached to what they cannot do that they stop looking at what they can.

I see it every day.

Cannot go barefoot. Cannot walk a block. Cannot lift weights. Cannot do what they used to do.

And in that cannot, everything stops.

Here is what I know from my own experience and after working with people living with Parkinson's, RA, MS and chronic illness.

The cannot is rarely the whole truth. It is usually the loudest voice in the room.

What can you do today? Not yesterday. Not before the diagnosis.

Today.

Can you take one step? Take it.
Can you wiggle your toes? Do it.
Can you stand for 30 seconds? Stand.

The brain responds to what you give it. Not to what you withhold from it.

Stop negotiating with cannot. Start building with can.

Just 10 more steps. Always. 🤍

I really do not understand the position @marksandspencer have taken regarding their female customers. Women are telling them repeatedly they want single sex changing rooms, they want spaces where there are no men and yet M&S refuse to listen.

A strange form of marketing.

I've been doing a strict ketogenic diet for over 5 years for bipolar disorder. I've made almost every mistake possible.

Here are the things I wish someone had told me before I started. 🧵

[Lord Glencoe ⚒ 🫧〓〓🇬🇧 @andyrayner9]

The 1p loophole that wrecks Reeves’ ISA reforms. The Telegraph says the new rules only penalise you if 100% of your ISA is “cash‑like”. So hold £19,999.99 in money‑market‑style assets and 1p in equities and you’re exempt from the 22% charge. A flagship reform undone by a penny

[Jamie Scott @JamiescottUV]

Taxing people who get 4% on their uninvested cash while inflation erodes the same cash at 5% a year, all while considering this cash has already been at taxed between 20-45% before it was even eligible to be put in an ISA, is crazy.
