In Kaiser Permanente ER begging doctor to listen to me on how IV magnesium will stop the most intermittent tachycardia I experience all day.

I have a compressed cancaneal nerve in my heel, causing muscle death in my foot from the edema (swelling leading to the compression) caused by severe magnesium depletion. I can’t feel my fingers. I can’t feel my toes.

The tachycardia is a cardiac-mimicking symptom caused by the nerve damage and the severe depletion of magnesium intracellularly. This ER doctor, like the last man, is treating me dismissively and disrespectfully and not listening.

I tell him that Fluoroquinolones chelate (bind) magnesium and turn it into an insoluble complex too big in molecular weight to get to our cells and it is then excreted.

On the phone with Member Services today, I got clutching lungs and could barely breathe and at one point, I fainted. While seated on couch talking with her. It was a recorded line and I asked her to save and play the call.

Obscenely, a family medicine doctor at medical director level— ignoring or not even being told of my begging allowed to speak to the person making the decision about whether they will allow me around magnesium the science shows I need to stop tachycardia and walk normally, and save the muscle in my foot from death.

This doctor is failing medical ethics and medical law 101. Failure of duty of care and standard of care and failure to refer (to a doctor w actual expertise specifically in the condition I have, fluoroquinolone injury from the obscene negligence of a Kaiser Permanente cornea surgeon prescribing this drug that risks irreversible debilitation with zero informed consent).

ER doctor is sending me home untreated. He said I have normal magnesium levels. I don’t. They tested serum magnesium and it is less than one percent of what is in your body.

I am asserting myself. Now in the lobby where I had myself readmitted.

Horrible man bun guy— extremely disrespectful and cruel to the dad with a broken arm last time, acting toward him in ways that were dignity-eating—is literally trying to fight to see that I don’t get care.

It is 3 a.m. I’m very sick and I’m going to try to fight for the IV magnesium I need to save my muscle in my foot and walk and balance and also stop the tachycardia.

Check out what Dr. Dismissive diagnosed me with(!!!)—screenshot 3.Image

Prof. Klaus Wirth proposes that a substantial subset of Long COVID—the group that clinically resembles ME/CFS—is driven by a vicious cycle involving vascular dysfunction, impaired sodium handling, calcium overload, and ultimately mitochondrial injury.

In his model, exertion does more than temporarily deplete energy reserves. Instead, exercise may trigger abnormal sodium accumulation within muscle cells. Excess sodium then promotes calcium influx, including into mitochondria. Calcium overload is a well-established mechanism of mitochondrial injury in other diseases, and Wirth argues that repeated episodes may progressively impair cellular energy production.

This hypothesis attempts to unify several observations reported in Long COVID and ME/CFS research: orthostatic intolerance, impaired cerebral blood flow, elevated lactate during exercise, post-exertional malaise (PEM), cognitive dysfunction, autonomic abnormalities, and exercise intolerance.

Importantly, this remains a hypothesis—not a proven mechanism—but it offers a biologically plausible framework linking many seemingly disconnected findings.Image
2/ What evidence does Prof. Wirth point to in support of this model?

He highlights multiple objective findings reported across ME/CFS and Long COVID studies:

• Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) demonstrating early transition to anaerobic metabolism and reduced oxygen utilization during exertion.

• Elevated lactate responses suggesting impaired aerobic energy production.

• Skeletal muscle biopsies and electron microscopy studies showing structural abnormalities in mitochondria.

• Evidence of damage and regeneration occurring after exercise, consistent with the delayed worsening patients describe as post-exertional malaise (PEM).

• Cerebral blood flow studies demonstrating hypoperfusion and orthostatic abnormalities that may contribute to cognitive symptoms.

• Research suggesting autoantibodies against β2-adrenergic receptors and other signaling pathways that could impair vascular regulation and sodium pump function.

His interpretation is that PEM may reflect actual biological injury and recovery failure rather than simply “running out of energy.” That distinction is one reason this work has generated considerable interest among researchers studying Long COVID and ME/CFS.
3/ What comes next?

Prof. Wirth argues that the field needs more objective data from severely affected patients, including deeper investigation of mitochondrial structure and function. He believes these studies may help determine whether mitochondrial dysfunction is a primary driver of disease or a downstream consequence of other abnormalities.

His team is also developing an investigational compound, MDC002 (Mitodicure), designed to:

• Stimulate sodium pump activity
• Reduce mitochondrial calcium overload
• Improve cerebral blood flow
• Improve skeletal muscle perfusion

However, patients should understand that this remains an early-stage drug-development program. Even under optimistic circumstances, human trials and regulatory review would likely require many years.

Until better treatments arrive, Wirth’s practical recommendation is simple: avoid triggering PEM whenever possible. If repeated crashes contribute to cumulative mitochondrial injury, pacing may be one of the few currently available strategies capable of interrupting the cycle.

Whether this model ultimately proves correct remains to be seen—but it represents one of the most comprehensive mechanistic frameworks currently proposed for the biology of Long COVID and ME/CFS.

What just happened?

The S&P 500 just erased nearly -$2 TRILLION of market cap just hours after 3rd strongest US jobs report in 18 months.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is officially down over -50% from its record high in October 2025.

What's happening? Let us explain.

(a thread) Image
Just 3 days ago, the S&P 500 hit its highest level on record as AI stocks skyrocketed.

Today, the S&P 500 posted its largest drop since October 2025.

Meanwhile, the biggest news of the day was the 3rd strongest jobs report in 18 months.

This has left many investors confused. Image
In fact, even President Trump commented on the decline after the jobs report.

Trump said “stocks should go up, not down” after today’s jobs report.

However, when you look beneath the surface, it's fairly clear that stock do NOT want a strong labor market over the near-term. Image

Cardiology calls statins miracle drugs. Social media calls them poison.

Both sides cite published scientific papers. How can they be looking at the same evidence and reaching opposite conclusions?

As a cardiologist, I think both sides are are on to something. Let me explain. 🧵
The mainstream cardiology position: LDL and plaque cause heart disease/attacks, statins lower LDL and stabalize plaque, therefore statins prevent heart attacks and save lives. For preventing heart attacks, the trials are numerous and the guidelines are clear. (for saving lives, the data is weaker, but the guidelines remain clear.)

The social media position: statins are overprescribed, LDL is protective, and the side effect burden is being systematically underreported.

Here is the uncomfortable truth. Neither position is entirely wrong.

And as a caveat, yes, we have many other ways to lower LDL, but statins are often the “poster child” for this, so I will use them as the focus in this discussion.
Yes, statins reduce cardiovascular events. That evidence is real across multiple large randomized trials. For patients with established heart disease, the benefit can be meaningful, and in this situation, I prescribe them regularly.

But the question that might not get asked with sufficient rigor is: by how much, and for whom?

Your soul did not come back to repeat the past. It came back to finish it - RETROGRADE PLANETS

All You need to know about RETROGRADE PLANETS in your chart.

1/N 🧵
First, let us understand what retrograde actually means in the sky. Planets do not go backwards. They never do.

What happens is that Earth is also moving in its orbit around the Sun. And sometimes Earth moves faster than another planet. When that happens, from where we are standing on Earth, that other planet looks like it is going backwards. Like when you are sitting in a fast train and a slow train is next to you. The slow train appears to be going backwards even though it is moving forward. That is retrograde.

Now here is something almost nobody talks about. When a planet is retrograde, it is at its closest distance to Earth in the entire year. Closest distance means strongest impact. Think of it like a speaker. When a speaker is right next to your ear, the sound hits harder. When it is far away, you barely hear it. A retrograde planet is that speaker pressed right against your ear. This is exactly why ancient Sanskrit texts called retrograde planets bali, which simply means strong. Not cursed or broken. Strong.
So why does someone get born with a retrograde planet in their chart?

This is the question I kept asking for years. And after deep study of Jyotish, the answer became clear.

Every planet rules a certain area of life. Saturn rules hard work, patience, and responsibility. Jupiter rules wisdom, faith, and children.

Venus rules love and relationships. When your soul left its previous life, if it left something unfinished in any of these areas, the planet connected to that area comes into your new chart as retrograde.

It is the universe saying, you are not done with this yet.I want you to imagine a student who walked out of an exam halfway through. Maybe they got scared. Maybe they made the wrong choices in the paper.

Now in the next exam, that same student gets a second chance. But this time they sit with far more pressure, far more awareness, and far more urgency than any other student in that room. That is exactly what a retrograde planet in a birth chart is. A second attempt. And second attempts, when taken seriously, produce results that first attempts never could.

Rant.

Which I wasn't going to do because it will attract abuse, but such is life and I think it's important to point out.

There is an increasing number of activists/orgs that think taking action without consideration of consequences is ok. It's not.
Firstly, if I did what Paul is doing here the HSE would tear me a new one and rightly so.

Unsecured ropey looking ladder.
Needles but no sharps kit or seemingly someone qualified to deal with it.
Rats/dirty soil & water (risk of leptospirosis)
No PPE.
Will there be the an kind of RAMS to cover all this? Unlikely and if there is it's not being adhered to.

That's just what I can see at a glance. Not trying to be H&S man, but that is the world we live in.

Why do the rules we abide by not apply to activists?

Un certain Jean-Michel Trogneux dit Brigitte Macron est désormais visé par une instruction.

Opération Fin de Partie pour Jean-Michel
Épisode mai 2026

Suite à la plainte déposée en décembre 2024 par Christian Cotten, 56 personnes ont reçu le 12 mai 2026 une « ordonnance de consignation » qui confirme l’ouverture d’une instruction par Mme le Doyen des Juges d’Instruction du Tribunal Judiciaire de Paris Emmanuelle Robinson, aux motifs de :

faux par représentant de l’État, usage de faux, viol sur mineur par personne ayant autorité, atteinte aux intérêts fondamentaux de la nation.

Une première partie civile a versé sa consignation, une dizaine d’autres, dispensées de consignation, vont suivre.

La première partie civile a demandé le 3 juin 2026 l’audition comme témoin privilégié de Madame Alexandra Brazzainville.

Celle-ci, victime de pressions et menaces sur sa vie, vient de faire envoyer par ses avocats, Maître Philippe Fortabat-Labatut et Fabrizio Nucéra Gianpaolo, une requête en protection judiciaire et policière, adressée à Mme le Doyen, Emmanuelle Robinson et à Mme le Procureur Laure Beccuau.

L’on trouvera en 1er commentaire et en description sur Youtube tous les liens utiles : la plainte d’origine et celles des 56 parties civiles enregistrées par le Tribunal (plus 55 autres déjà engagées), un exemple de consignation et une réponse de l’IA Grok qui valide et confirme les informations ici présentes.
youtu.be/LcKP8wvuh3I

Deux reportages du jeudi 21 mai au Tribunal de Paris permettent de mieux comprendre ce dossier qu’un grand nombre de médias de propagande ignoreront aussi longtemps qu’ils se soumettront à la loi de l’omerta.

Tout journaliste soucieux du respect de la Charte de Munich peut vérifier ces informations auprès du secrétariat du Greffe du Doyen du Tribunal de Paris.

Les parties civiles savent combien une très large part des citoyens informés de cette procédure soutiennent par leurs engagements, leurs contributions, leurs énergies et leurs prières le bon déroulement de celle-ci et la sécurité des personnes qui se sont constituées parties civiles, en se mettant au service de la libération de la France des violences des menteurs, voleurs et tueurs, trop souvent pédocriminels, imposteurs, usurpateurs et squatteurs qui utilisent les institutions de la République et détruisent la nation, l’État et la population française.

Old fear doesn’t feel old when cortisol floods your nervous system.

Your brain loses the timestamp.

It thinks it’s happening again.

Here are 8 ways to teach your brain: “That was then. This is now.” 👇

1. Sit with your back against a tree for 5 minutes. Image
Image
Your hippocampus is the brain's context organ.

It's what tells your amygdala: that was then, this is now.

When cortisol stays chronically elevated, the hippocampus literally shrinks.

And without it working properly, your brain can't locate fear in time.

So a tone of voice, a look, a deadline — fires the same alarm as the original threat.

You're not overreacting.

Your context organ is compromised.
2. Write one true sentence about what you're actually afraid of (before coffee).

Cortisol peaks 30–45 minutes after waking.

Writing one honest sentence before caffeine hits engages your prefrontal cortex at exactly the moment your threat system is most active.

You're not processing the fear.

You're just teaching your brain that you can look at it without being destroyed by it.

That distinction is everything.

Conceito de precariado, desenvolvido por Guy Standing, não é apenas um conjunto de trabalhadores pobres ou informais. Trata-se de uma nova classe social em formação, marcada pela insegurança permanente e pela ausência das garantias que caracterizaram o emprego típico do século XX.
A tese central é de que o modelo fordista de trabalho - emprego estável, carreira previsível, direitos trabalhistas sólidos e identidade profissional definida -, foi progressivamente substituído por relações de trabalho flexíveis e instáveis. O resultado é o surgimento de milhões de pessoas que vivem sob constante incerteza econômica e social.
Standing diferencia o precariado do proletariado tradicional. O proletário industrial clássico possuía, ao menos em tese, emprego relativamente estável, proteção sindical e perspectiva de progressão econômica. Já o precariado vive em uma condição de transitoriedade permanente, alternando entre empregos temporários, trabalhos por demanda, desemprego, subemprego e atividades informais.

LGBT Youth Scotland has issued its full response to the EHRC (May 2026).
Their response is bewildering.

While we acknowledge they are campaigning for the rights of “trans” children, every proposal they make would undermine the rights of girls.

How can they believe the rights of a small minority should take precedence over those of the majority?

They offer no workable suggestions that avoid harming the rights and dignity of other children.

This pursuit of “inclusivity” is unachievable and unsustainable: it is impossible to deliver what they demand without destroying single-sex provisions that have worked successfully for decades.

What they want cannot be granted in full. Until they accept a genuine compromise, they are failing the very children they claim to support.

🧵1/9

Some of their most contradictory points:
2/9
•  “Stereotyping based on outward appearances”
How ironic. The entire basis of identifying as “trans” rests on adopting the stereotypes of the opposite sex.
3/9
•  “Interference with privacy”
Privacy rights apply to all children.
Girls have a legitimate right to privacy when changing or using facilities. A “trans” child’s privacy cannot come at the expense of girls’ privacy.

How does the RW win for real? The starting point is to accept the primacy of culture. The five cultures shown below are irrefutably the most resistant to radical Leftism / communism in the Western world. We've faced the same decades long blasts of political indoctrination,
1/ Image
the same takeover of the schools & colleges, the same electoral manipulations, the same mass propaganda in the media & over the internet - and yet, we resist and in mass numbers. Outside of the racially invaded major cities we vote RW - completely rejecting the propaganda -
2/
in numbers usually equaling 65%-70% of our populations. Europe & Canada have in practice been unable to resist, as has also been true of the US NE & West - their cultures were not as resilient, not as deeply rooted and RW.

There are numerous real world implications.

¿Cómo es posible que civilizaciones tan separadas en el tiempo y el espacio como los antiguos chinos, los aztecas y los caballeros medievales dibujaran al mismo monstruo escupefuego sin haberse visto en la vida? Este es el origen de los dragones. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
Culturas separadas por miles de kilómetros y océanos inmensos coinciden en describir reptiles gigantes voladores con escamas y garras, pero no es una casualidad. La respuesta combina nuestros miedos más primitivos con descubrimientos arqueológicos totalmente accidentales. Image

A biology professor said: "Your belly is a storage of cortisol waste.

Clear it with one routine before bed... And your life will change."

Here's the 9 minute fix:
(Must read till end )🪡 Image
Your belly fat is not random.

Your abdomen has a higher concentration of cortisol receptors than anywhere else in your body.

Every time your stress hormone spikes, your body sends a direct signal to your midsection: store fat here. Not your arms. Not your legs. Here. Image
This is why stressed people gain belly fat even when they barely eat. The calories are not the issue. The cortisol is.

it gets worse. Read below
