Inspiring story shared by @SafiBahcall on #PatientExperience

Brian Druker was denied tenure because his work was felt to lack 'potential'. Drug he discovered: Gleevec (imatinib).

Life expectancy of pts with chronic myeloid leukemia today: normal.

#JPMHC20 #JPM20

A few years ago Safi attended a research meeting sponsored by a patient foundation group. One of the first people he met after I in hotel lobby started asking him detailed questions about the science behind the cancer drug they were working on at the time

(he was running a biotech co). After they were done speaking, he asked the other person "What university are you from?"

"I'm not with any university," he said. "I'm a patient. I was diagnosed seven years ago and given 6 months to live.

I was one of the first to get Gleevec. Since then, every day has been a gift. Every sunrise has been more glorious than the one before."

This story is an example of why I love the industry I’m in.

In 2022, Yale scientists brought a dead pig back to life, an hour after its heart stopped.

They restored blood flow and cell function without a heartbeat, brain activity, or life support.

If that sounds impossible… wait till you see how they did it: 🧵

First, let’s be clear:

This pig was clinically dead.

No heartbeat, circulation or breathing.

It stayed that way for a full hour. Long enough for massive tissue damage.

But then, they plugged it into a machine that did the unthinkable…

So what's this special machine?

It’s called OrganEx.

It’s a perfusion system that pushes a custom synthetic fluid through the veins of a dead body and those fluid contains:

Oxygen, Nutrients, Anti-inflammatories, and Drugs that block cell death

And it worked without needing the heart to beat.

This is Vadim Zeland.

• Author of Reality Transurfing
• A former quantum physicist from Russia
• Created a method to shift to your dream reality

But most people misunderstand his teachings, and stay trapped.

Here’s what Zeland really meant with his teachings:

Vadim Zeland wasn't your typical self-help guru.

He worked in quantum physics and computing during the Soviet era, until one day, he walked away from it all.

Why?

He believed reality was not fixed and that we could literally choose new versions of it.

In the early 2000s, he wrote Reality Transurfing—a 5-volume manifesto combining quantum mechanics, metaphysics, and philosophy.

It became a cult hit in Russia.

But only spread to the West years later, and even then, barely.

If you want to ruin your life and never reach your full potential just do any of these 13 things 👇

1. Foster Self-Doubt and Low Self-Worth

Make people believe they aren’t good enough or capable enough.

Encourage negative self-talk and a mindset of “I can’t” or “I’m not worthy.”

This internal dialogue can paralyze them, keeping them from even trying to pursue their goals or passions.

There are 3 topics I am actively thinking about a lot these days:

Topic #1: Persuasion
I am interested in persuasion because it's probably the most powerful skill you could have in the world.

Topic #2: Psychology
I first got interested in psychology over ten years ago when I dropped out of medical school and started as a sales rep at Mazor Robotics, a medtech company.

My late mentor Chris Sells introduced me to it—and since then, I have learned a lot about the importance of observing how people make decisions, what actions they take, and why they did it.

Kicking off the first Monday of #2022NewYear with a splash!

I've been doing weekly #wimhoff ice plunges for years along with daily cold showers. Here's why (THREAD)

Back in 2015 I went through a difficult time in life. I was depressed, stressed out, and overall carrying a negative attitude.

I heard about #wimhoff and decided to try it. I started with ice cold showers every morning (still doing it).

Then while in Charlevoix during December I decided to go swim in Lake Michigan. It was 8 degrees outside

It was so painful and uncomfortable, but something changed.
