It’s not just @Cigna, it’s all the big insurers — @UHC @AnthemBCBS @Aetna - multiple lawsuits filed for the amount of denials they have, but it’s more profitable for them to rampantly deny claims and settle the class action lawsuits later than it is to just do the service they… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Today’s #JobsReport was very solid, but like is often the case in the movies, it’s very hard for the sequel (today’s report) to match such an unexpected hit (January’s revised 504,000 jobs gained).
Still, a nonfarm #payroll gain of 311,000 jobs is quite good and having 815,000 jobs created so far this year after the #economy has already created 12 million #jobs over the past two years is pretty amazing in its own right.
Further, the 3-month moving average of 351,000 jobs, after a 12-month moving average of 362,000 jobs gained per month is also pretty remarkable, particularly after the market-implied pricing of the terminal #FedFunds rate has move up 500 basis points (bps) in a year.
The establishment creates this problem by first denying the disease, creating a vacuum that quickly fills up with untested treatments & questionable cures. Then they go about trashing their victims who desperately need relief, and the doctors who are willing to treat.

It is both infuriating & heart wrenching to watch this scene play out again, with some of the same establishment players engaging in narrative control. Go to ~48:00 for IDSA creep Paul Auwaerter’s word salad tossed at Congress, thx to my friend @PowerOfNeo oversight.house.gov/hearing/invest…
That they have denied, conflated & confused for DECADES #LymeDisease #ME #mecfs #cfs #fibromyalgia and passed them off as psychiatric, and now are doing the same with #LongCovid, should tell you all you need to know about #PublicHealth’s intentions.

Insufficient levels of folate can negatively impact the synthesis and stability of both DNA and mtDNA, leading to oxidative stress in the form of reactive oxygen species. Why is this a problem? (1/8)
This type of stress is linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neuronal damage and an increase in cell death are observed in individuals with AD. (2/8)
Lack of folate can result in decreased methylation of enzymes and promoter regions of genes that may also be associated with the development of Alzheimer's Disease. (3/8) #AD

I educate on ketogenic diets for mental illness & neurological disorders because I want you to know all the ways you (or a loved one) can feel better. 🧵(1/4)
Learning all the ways you can feel better helps you understand that you deserve better treatment options than you are currently being offered. (2/4)
Learning all the ways you can feel better means that you no longer feel like you have to suffer in silence because you are already receiving a standard of care that is not working well for you. (3/4)
Attention healthcare professionals, if you haven't yet explored training in ketogenic dietary therapy for mental illness and neurological disorders, you may be missing out on a groundbreaking approach that is transforming lives. (1/10)
The online training program designed by @KetoPotterRDN @KaniaZupec has seen tremendous success, with several hundred professionals completing the training within the first year. (2/10) advancedketogenictherapies.com
@KetoPotterRDN @KaniaZupec In addition to benefiting those with epilepsy, advanced ketogenic dietary therapy has shown promise in improving the symptoms of a variety of neurological disorders, including migraine headaches, autism, and dementia. (3/10)
