Microplastics are everywhere. They are ubiquitous. In your water. In your food. In the air you breathe.

Until now, the narrative focused on environmental impacts. That's a mistake.

Microplastics are slowing killing us. Some faster than others.

In this Mega-Thread I'll explain. Microplastics are minuscule pieces of plastic, less than 5 mm in size by definition.

They are made of pretty much anything plastic:
- tires
- clothing
- rubber tubing
- cosmetic products
- anything plastic-based

They are ubiquitous in the environment. How'd they get there?

Here's what I would do if I were Aaron Rodgers:

The Jets QB Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear. At age 39, this may be a career-ender.

If he wants to play again, he needs to put in the work.

Here's what I would do. I am not your doctor and this isn't medical advice.

The Achilles tendon runs from the back of the calf to the heel. It's a dense band of connective tissue responsible for plantar flexion of the foot.

When it breaks, the ability to lift the foot is limited.

The Angel of Death

Josef Mengele is the most infamous of the Nazi doctors. He was a butcher. A monster.

And sadly, he was one of the most influential doctors in history.

Let's talk about the legacy of the Nazi doctors. The good, the bad (lots), and the ugly. Josef Mengele earned a cum laude MD from the University of Frankfurt. He was an anthropologist by training and published some unimportant papers on cleft palate.

He joined the SS and was transferred to Auschwitz in 1942, where he continued his research.

Galen of Pergamum: Roman Physician and Philosopher

Born circa 129 AD, Galen was a Greek physician whose works influenced medicine for centuries.

He was one of the most renowned thinkers and researchers in Roman history. His legacy exists to this day.

Let's find out why. Galen was a supporter of Hippocrates theory of the "humors"

But he expanded on this theory. He believed human illness was caused by an imbalance of the 4 humors and 4 temperaments:

- blood – sanguine
- black bile – melancholic
- yellow bile – choleric
- phlegm – phlegmatic

Here's what I would do if I was overweight:

Over half the American population is overweight. This ranges from a little chunky to a full-on land whale.

Regardless of where I fell on this spectrum, as a doctor, here are the steps I would take to lose weight. Let's get one thing straight, I am not your doctor. Ask them for medical advice because this isn't it.

We've all found ourselves on the heavier side at some point. How you respond to it is what matters. Follow these steps and you'll be back on track in no time.

The female body is perfectly designed for reproduction.

Synthetic hormones like birth control are leading us into a fertility apocalypse.

They suppress women's natural reproductive traits and are the primary cause of low fertility rates.

Let me explain.
🧵 About 14 days into a normal menstrual cycle, ovulation occurs.

The ovaries release an egg which begins to travel down the fallopian tubes.

When it comes in contact with sperm, conception may occur. This is the beginning of a new life.

"The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the Bastille of medical science."

This quote by Benjamin Rush rings true today.

Medicine is captured by special interests.
🧵 The Father of American Psychiatry was a controversial figure.

He used excessive bloodletting, mercury, and many other unusual (and dangerous) therapies. His views towards slaves were abhorrent by modern standards.

But his contributions to the field of medicine are undeniable.

High testosterone is a heavy burden.

Young men walk through the fire of adolescence and learn to control their testosterone-driven urges to fight and f**k.

Transgender people don't have that life experience. When you start taking exogenous testosterone in your 20s and beyond, you're a fully formed human.

Without guidance, these feelings and impulses can be difficult to control.

We see the same effect in young men who grow up without a father figure to guide them through this time.

Today we take the first step toward fixing the broken health information space.

Most of the weight loss from Ozempic and Wegovy comes from muscle loss and bone demineralization.

You end up in a worse place than when you started. Why is this the case?

People feel full on these drugs. They don't eat as much, and when they do eat it usually low quality food.

This leads to nutritional deficiencies.

The vaccine mandates will end up giving us better data than anyone imagined.

They may even be a net-positive, given enough time.

This is a controversial take, so make sure you read the whole thread and understand the argument.

Short 🧵 Over the last 40 years the number of recommended or required childhood vaccines has skyrocketed.

Kids get dozens of shots over their childhood.

Here's what I would do if myself or a loved one developed cancer.

This isn't a foolproof guide, but a good place to start.

This is my top 7
🧵 1) Vitamin D

I'd get plenty of time in the sun and supplement if necessary.

Vitamin D is necessary for immune health as well as various other functions in the body.

The goal would be 80-110 ng/mL.

Ventilators killed people with COVID.

This is a proven and well-understood fact at this point. But it's not as cut and dry as it seems. There are reasons it was a necessity.

Small thread on ventilators and COVID.🧵 Early in the pandemic, ventilators became the mainstay of therapy for severe, advanced covid.

People were being intubated, sedated, and sustained with ventilators at historic rates. Shortages were common.

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

We are going to see historic rates of cancer in the next 10 years.

There's two main reasons for that. 1) Lifestyle

Estrogen is carcinogenic. More body fat means more estrogen. We are fatter than ever with no end in sight.

Exercise also directly reduces estrogen levels. You know what people don't do anymore? Exercise.

Long COVID will be a pandemic.

It has to be. There are too many special interests and too much money at play.

Let's look at a few reasons why (short thread)🧵 1) Big Pharma

Developing treatments for long COVID will earn billions for Big Pharma.

Vaccines, pills, injections, you name it, they'll make it.

It's a win-win for them. The government will cover their losses. Only upside.

Follow the money.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is in the tank for Big Pharma.

Their newest clinical practice guidelines addressing childhood obesity is a billion dollar gift to their donors.

Let's break it down 🧵 Childhood obesity is huge problem in the pediatric population.

1 in 5 children are obese.

This has lifelong ramifications. Obese children become obese adults. Obese adults have obese children.

Obesity is not healthy, regardless of what anyone tells you.

Public Health has been exposed for the scam it is.

Over the last 3 years, Public Health officials like Dr. Fauci proved they suck at preserving public health.

Dirty little secret: they always have

Here's 5 things they got horribly wrong. And 1 they got right.
🧵 1) Vitamin and Mineral Recommendations

Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) is designed to tell the public how much of each nutrient they need to maintain health.

They are mostly made up.

These started during WWII with the National Academy of Sciences committee.

Damar Hamlin is alive and able to communicate for 2 reasons:

1) God's grace

2) The fast response and skill of his first responders

Let's break down how they kept him alive and preserved his brain as well as they did.
🧵 When Damar Hamlin tackled Dion Dawkins, he took a good hit.

I'm not going to post the video. You can search for it if interested.

After this hit Hamlin lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Andrew Tate is orchestrating the ultimate psyop.

The arrest of Top G and his brother is too suspicious. Something smells funny.

I have it figured out. Let's put it all together. 🧵

*DISCLAIMER: This is wild speculation and may be completely wrong. First of all, Tate is a master self-marketer. He has risen to prominence in a short amount of time.

He's on every show. He thrives on controversy. He's over the top. He thrives on controversy.

What I'm proposing seems sensational, but so does owning 33 cars.

Here we go.

When I posted how meta-analysis are misleading yesterday, I got 2 responses:

1) Argue they were never considered high standard of truth
2) Argue they are not currently considered high standard of truth by mainstream medicine

Both of these are objectively wrong. Cochrane review has been considered one of the gold standards in medicine. They can shift the entire field with one big study – a meta-analysis.

Meta-analysis has been taught as the highest standard of proof for decades.
