I'm looking for someone in New York who can go ASAP to St Anthony's Hospital in Warrick, Orange County, to advocate for a very severe, barely speaking patient and explain ME and MCAS. It's the worst situation I've witnessed in the US. Please help if you can.

When the dermatologist was just on Fox News debunking the idea that some chemicals in sunscreen aren't good for us, it sounded illogically dismissive of the studies and research.

I took a quick look.

I didn’t hear her disclose her paid relationships with big sunscreen makers. ☀️

This is part of a trend that I discovered decades ago. It permeates our news media landscape.

I learned that nearly every member of the national board of experts that lowered cholesterol guidelines and basically recommended that people should take more statins, worked for the statin makers.

I learned that many members of the board set up during Covid that restricted hydroxychloroquine... were paid by the companies that made other controversial treatments for Covid like remdesivir that were then prioritized over hydroxychloroquine.

It doesn’t stop there.

When the government and the cosmetics industry tried to falsely debunk the scientific studies linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, they referred me to the American Cancer Society for an interview. I learned that the expert at the American Cancer Society hadn’t even read the relevant studies, and yet was claiming the link was a myth. I asked and found out that the American Cancer Society takes money from the antiperspirant industry and other allegedly cancer, causing industries. However, they wouldn’t tell me how much.

When the nonprofit “every child by" was illogically denying the proven vaccine autism link, I dug in and found out the nonprofit was actually started by a vaccine maker in order to defend vaccine companies, and to controversialist those of us exposing the risks.

I was the first journalist to ask and report that the expert the government kept referring us to in order to debunk the vaccine autism link, Dr. Paul Offit, was not an independent expert at all, but was a vaccine inventor and vaccine industry insider… though that was never disclosed in the media at the time. He was always presented falsely as if he were an independent expert.

When I saw a lead dietary group giving questionable advice about nutrition, I learned that the group takes money from the sugar, cola, fast food, and preservative snack industry.

In short, whenever I’ve looked for a tie between experts defending a chemical or risk that could impact an industry's bottom line... I’ve always found one. Food for thought.

"Dr. Jody Levine has financial and professional relationships with several prominent consumer product companies that manufacture and market sunscreens.
Because sunscreen is legally regulated as an over-the-counter drug and is a core component of commercial skincare lines, her consulting roles inherently create potential conflicts of interest when she recommends sun protection or reviews skincare products in the media. 

Her specific ties to major corporate sunscreen manufacturers include:

1. Johnson & Johnson / Kenvue

Dr. Levine has served on the Medical Advisory Board for Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health spin-off, Kenvue, owns Neutrogena and Aveeno, two of the largest and most widely distributed sunscreen brands in the United States. In her media and print features, she has regularly recommended product categories or specific options overlapping with these brands, such as recommending Neutrogena Sport Face in broad consumer media interviews. 

2. Galderma (Cetaphil)

She has acted as a consultant and advisor for Cetaphil, a brand owned by Galderma. Cetaphil produces a substantial line of daily facial moisturizers with SPF, mineral sunscreens, and broad-spectrum sun protection lotions marketed heavily toward sensitive skin and pediatric care. 

3. Beiersdorf (Eucerin)

Dr. Levine has maintained consulting arrangements with Eucerin, a brand under the Beiersdorf corporate umbrella. Eucerin manufactures a wide range of daily anti-aging lotions with SPF, sensitive skin sunscreens, and body sun protection products. 

Impact on Media Appearances

When Dr. Levine appears on networks like Fox News or in print publications to deliver general public health messages—such as advising viewers to apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside or warning against the dangers of tanning beds—she is providing standard medical advice aligned with the American Academy of Dermatology. However, because she does not routinely issue on-screen financial disclosures listing her corporate partners during short news segments, viewers are generally unaware that she is paid by the parent companies of the very products sitting on drugstore shelves."

@plumandmustard Like people aren't in danger and pain in those hours more than any other time.

[Ramy2.0 @Ramyisback]

Well I need to ask twitter at this point. Very difficult medical case. Let me explain. My lumbar MRI presented with abnormalities yes. I have hyperreflexia. But the brain MRI, the thoracic MRI and the cervical one came back clear. I have attached my Lumbar MRI, Brain MRI and RMR (mecfs related) The doctor told me he cannot explain my inability to walk well based on the lumbar MRI results. But they have not decided on discharging me, not for now that is since I am the same despite the massive amount of steroids they gave me. I cannot walk normal. I don't know what they can do next? A spinal tab? Any suggestions?

I'm here now and got to see him asap. It's *definitely* a good thing I came. He's SO sick. My family don't like to scare me while I'm in TO, but it just makes it so much worse bc I just worry constantly.
Any help offered is massively appreciated. I'm stressed out of my mind.

Kohen's mother has requested that people stop sharing his pictures, and share the photos of the man who murdered her child so he and the police department that hired him, and Walmart and its racist management face the ridicule and judgment they deserve.

What I find to be the most disturbing part about medical professionals recommending CBT et al as treatment for #LongCovid:

Most of us are so psychologically traumatized from the experience of having a novel disease with no treatments & w/ barely any public acknowledgement that

@KarinExile @longjohnshirley Honestly, I've never been able to do a cartwheel.

Take me out back, I guess. Is that where we're going with all this?

@lukeross256 @am_anatiala Yeah, they are not acting right in there and we know it. They don't act right anywhere. And it keeps getting worse because nobody calls it out.
