Thread 🚨

2 years ago I was in a car accident that caused near paralysis of my right arm
Prior to that I had loved to exercise.

Throughout my life actually I love to exercise even at 350lbs
After my surgery I faced a complication, I had a collection and a possible infection

I was unable to move my arm to my head level for about 4 months after my surgery, I was finally able to move hand above my head one year later (about 16 months ago)…
I had to pivot around my disability…

I bought an assault bike and basically cut my routine to 4 15 minute sessions per week
Luckily my diet has kept me from massive weight regain

Yes I’ve had ups and downs

And yes my body composition isn’t prime time but im proud of myself
I continue to workout at home and now my kids join me as I’ve slowly expanded our home gym from just that lonely assault bike 2 years ago!
And my lifelong battle with obesity continues … now with 3-4 littles ones cheering me on

I really don’t care if you follow me for nutrition, medicine, health, diet, my opinions, or my activism.

You will get 100% of me.

I’ve been an activist since age 8 when I held a picket sign outside of the White House to get acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide.
I knew at a young age that politics and virtue aren’t always aligned.

I also knew that masses of people could be manipulated to do horrible things. Hitler used the Armenian Genocide as justification for his actions & his lemming people went along with it
I will always be someone who entertains contrarian thoughts but will always do my best to remain skeptical about everything.

This isn’t going to ever change. So deal with it!

NEW STUDY 🚨

If CAC is zero, higher LDL doesn’t seem to substantially increase risk from cardiac events

This needs to be retweeted 1,000 times so every common cardiologists can begin to “understand this phenomenon”

Who would have thought the idea of actually measuring disease with CIMT/CAC/CCTA would produce better results than believing blowhards who profit off of surrogate marker testing ( like LDL )
Interestingly of those who had a zero CAC, those with a higher LDL were more likely to have positive CCTA Image

🚨 THREAD 🚨

Discussing how science and regulatory process has been hijacked …

People often asked me, “Doc, can you give us example of the regulatory system being messed up…”

1/
These questions are often hard to answer without a long story, but this morning’s email from the AMA makes it easy.

Backstory: Two section heads from the FDA resigned because the administration put political pressure to approve the Pfizer vaccine for adolescents.

2/
The administration disbanded the VRBPAC, which is the advisory committee where doctors discuss the data and make a recommendation for or against approval.

It’s hard to empathize

Imagine your tire is flat, & every mechanic & tow tells you to fill more air in your tire than you let out… then imagine your family, friends, society & mechanics have blamed you for your flat tire your whole life & you are so desperate you believe them
Imagine you have tried to fix it on your own, but the market is saturated with bogus “fix-a-flat” products barely work & are designed to fail… they that make lofty promises & provide allure with momentary success but no clear longterm solution…
Imagine the deepest despair, the most predatory industry and lack of insight and clarity into your tire problem…

Now you might understand why people don’t want to know and don’t want to get weighed

Yesterday, I had to come face to face with several COVID patients (yes I had an n95 & limited my contact as much as possible)
I admitted one patient with COVID… an older gentleman who had natural immunity from recovered COVID from a year prior, he had come in with mild viral symptoms… he was much less symptomatic compared to his 1st infection…
but now he was more short of breath. His D-dimer was high and he was COVID+, his CTA of the lungs showed bilateral pulmonary embolism…

This is the, it’s nothing new pandemic
