2. How much water is needed on daily basis?
The normal daily requirement of water is 2.5 to 3 liters.
The requirement may be higher in summer months. Requirement also increases during #exercise (due to sweating), during fever, diarrhea or vomiting.

3. Why do some people drink excess amounts of water?
There is a misconception that drinking more water is good for #health.
Some people can drink more water due to #psychiatric illnesses.
#athletes can overestimate fluid loss and drink an excess amount of water.

@Mktweets0 Going to start a thread on #melatonin & its effects on CKD validated by scientific research. Please correct if you find any medical faults.

@Mktweets0 1/ Melatonin was first purified and characterised from the bovine pineal gland extract by Aron Lerner and co-workers in 1958.
However it has systemic effects. #Kidney cells (proximal tubule) express a melatonin receptor of type MTNR1. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9034171/

@Mktweets0 2/ Looking at mRNA expression across several human tissues, surprisingly it's rather strongly expressed in colon and #kidney.

Hey Twitter! It's been a while. I used to write here all the time hanging out with #scifichat, #comicschat, #litchat, talking about #science, #tech, #autism and a dozen other topics which broadened my horizons and let me share my diverse interests in almost everything.
Then my life got incredibly busy. My son went to high school and coupled with his #autism, our lives became super-complex. I lost my job and my car gave up the ghost after four years of @Uber. Then the unthinkable, my wife experienced #renalfailure.
4 years ago, she underwent an operation for #peritoneal #dialysis. This form of at-home dialysis would let her take care of her renal needs at home avoiding the need for external #hemodialysis centers. In hindsight, this may have saved her life.

ICYMI, a reminder that this pandemic will have a lasting legacy beyond the tragedy of the countless lost lives and grieving families. Results from the #COVERSCAN study on #longcovid reports that organ impairment was detected in post COVID patients as shown in the figure below
This included damage to the #heart, #lungs, #kidneys, #liver, #pancreas and #spleen In almost a third of patients, damage in 2 or more organs was identified. In particular, damage to the liver, heart or lungs was associated with further organ impairment.
The participants in this study were all considered to be previously at low risk of #mortality and had no #comorbidities. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/3/eโฆ

1) Mercury
Many types of mercury exist in nature.
METHYLmercury builds up in the nervous system and can cause damage (Mad Hatter).
ETHYLmercury is broken down much more quickly in the body and is rapidly excreted. It is sometimes used as a preservative in specific #vaccines

2) Aluminum
Commonly occurring in vegetables (especially spinach!) and... wait for it... breast milk.
Average pre-vaccine aluminum blood level in a baby: 5 ng.
Avg post-vaccine Al level: 5ng.
Cumulative dose of Al in 1st 6 mo vaccines: half the dose in 6mo of breast milk.
