How will we understand the importance of not mowing down native forests? By understanding ecosystems. In us or around us: a healthy biome = a healthy system. A Developing #Symbiosis: Enabling Cross-Talk Between Ecologists and #Microbiome Scientists: https://t.co/Wm3Hwsx7Sx
Are you a clinician who sees patients with current or former cancer diagnoses? I'm hosting an all-inclusive conference in Italy! Just get there, and we'll take care of everything! More details in the video: Tuscany Retreat 2026 https://t.co/M4JdxGvcY0 via @YouTube
Is that a “pandemic loop” at the end of the plot? When no one goes in for non-essential procedures, costs go down ( along with lower longevity because, well, COVID killed people). Looks like we are now resuming the old curve, no?
We have come a very long way since the year 2000. Any immune discussion was met with blank stares back then. Thankfully, we now have immunotherapies. They are a game changer in perspective, not just treatment.
Why did this study show improvements? “Improvements can be partially explained by the intervention's impact on how people spent their time; when people did not have access to mobile internet, they spent more time socializing in person, exercising, and being in nature.
Some carbon dioxide absorbed by fig trees gets turned into calcium carbonate within the wood and the surrounding soil, ensuring that the carbon is kept out of the air for longer https://t.co/bWNUVUDet2
@EricTopol@S2thoughts Then, logic dictates that the “Blue Zones” did not actually lead healthier lifestyles. Is that what you are saying? It was false data on their lifestyle/behaviors?
Interesting. 🧐 If the components of Blue Zones - plant-friendly diets, movement/exercise, and family/community- each appear to be tied to longevity, then doesn’t debunking Blue Zones call into question the real world effects of these lifestyle measures?
@DrDominicNg I have been privy to far too many late and missed diagnoses. I welcome AI as a tool in conventional medicine. IMO, many times human bias about the patient clouds judgement, thus accuracy of diagnosis. Not to mention time constraints clinicians are under. AI doesn’t have them.
I'm a doctor and neuroscientist.
The development i'm most surprised by: strategically limiting oxygen may be therapeutic.
A new @ScienceTM review showed that low levels of oxygen may be able to treat mitochondrial diseases and enhance stroke recovery.
Let me explain why 👇
At @eaonc meeting today, I recollected one of the most consequential clinical trials in myeloma.
15 years ago we demonstrated that we can save a lot of lives by just reducing dexamethasone dose. @TheLancetOncol

We all know walking is good for us. But growing evidence reveals the right hike can lower stress, boost cognition, and even provide nutrients and vitamins. So, what is the perfect walk?

@bentleydboy@EricTopol@voxdotcom At some point you can tax the kidneys. It takes a lot, but I have seen this in patients. It shows up as high creatinine and BUN on labs. How much protein depends how healthy your kidneys are in the first place.
American surgeon records herself doing a “peer to peer” call with UnitedHealthcare trying to get a patients surgery approved
- UnitedHealthcare refuses to give any of their doctors names who makes decisions
- The doctor doesn’t specialize in surgery that’s being requested
- She asks for the determination paperwork of how UnitedHealthcare determined the patient shouldn’t get the surgery, UnitedHealthcare won’t provide that information
- UnitedHealthcare tells the surgeon to do an “internal appeal” but won’t provide any details on their determination
So to recap: UnitedHealthcare denies patients, their surgeon calls and can’t get a name, a specialty, or any details whatsoever regarding the denial
This is the state of American Healthcare
There is no way that any American can condone this. “Arresting” a person without any proof of government authority- no badges, no ID, no uniform- is ludicrous. Couple this with no due process = brown shirts. Plain and simple. This isn’t right v. left, this is right v. wrong.
Serious question: what happens if ICE agents do this and someone shoots them? No badges, no IDs, just grabbing someone? I mean, if anyone survives the shootout?
…dissed by EBM, because EBM is a construct of Big Pharma. Empirical evidence exists a given treatment is so reliable the clinician expects to observe benefit! Big Pharma paradigm of EBM needs revamping as we enter a new era of systems biology. No more “one drug, one effect.”
This is one of the fallacies of “Evidence Based Medicine.” Odd that @EricTopol would intentionally imply that unproven = disproven. I don’t care about AG1, but the fact that the PRODUCT has not been studied does not discount the fact that its ingredients each have data. Plus, EBM
Now the supplement AG1 is in airport vending machines.
At right is the complete list of peer-reviewed, independent research studies that show an improvement in health outcomes.
…patients, and you pay attention, when something works over 50% of the time, you will notice it! That is what Pharma wants us to ignore, in favor of nearly ridiculously low % “benefits” from some - not all - drugs. Empirical evidence (= clinician observations) has been unduly
