A friend of mine told me her doctor suggested she have a blood test to check her lipoprotein level because if it’s very high it may be genetic. Also, her children and grandchildren should be checked so they can get on the cholesterol meds sooner if needed. 🤦‍♀️

Sorry, I just can’t buy it.

Thanks Dr. Cruz. I’ve changed the name of this discussion so it can become a Spam Reporting Hub. Any spam reported here, (if I’ve missed it) will be set to spam and the spurious user suspended accordingly.

I might be able to answer your first question:

I was injected with technetium-99 or technetium-99m for a whole-body scan 36 years ago. As I lay on a cot, I was fascinated to be able to watch how it rapidly went to my heart, to my lungs, other organs, and finally to my bones (after about 45 minutes). The biological half-life of technetium-99m …

My husband recently went through some Nuclear Medicine testing for Myocardial Exercise and Cardiolite Stress Test. It involved injection of radio active isotope into his vein. They warned him that it would stay in the body enough to trigger an Airport scan for 5 days. Although we have no plans to fly out any time soon, we would like to know:

When chronic conditions such as Crohn’s disease are discussed, genetics can sometimes sound like the final answer, as though lifestyle and environmental factors have little influence.

Josh challenged that…

Hi @Dr. Rafael F. Cruz MD , the issue is someone will sign up under a spurious name, and they immediately have the ability to post a new discussion, so they do.

That Ukrainian spam was the first spam I had noticed. GregT is doing a fine job at catching 99.99% of them!

Hi @AaronAF , it’s like whack-a-mole. Some spam gets through. The vast majoroity of it doesn’t. So then I have to find the discussion or reply and set it to spam and suspend the account.

Please ignore these when you see them. I am watching for them all the time. And apologies that they get through.

I recently received an email notice from “steelheart7180” via the IMA Forum that was in English, about online gaming/betting. When I clicked on the Discussion link, there was no discussion present.

It did not take long this morning to see that Dr. Fauci was not there to try to explain or justify any of his despicable self-serving behavior as head of the NIAID! I hope none of us forget the arrogance of the tyrants who imposed their will, for no good reason on the rest of us!

It’s great that time and movement helped. I have seen so many people recover when they decline surgery and others, like my mother, suffer more and more with each operation.

Your question about whether your mom’s surgery contributed to her scoliosis is interesting, I have no idea, so will be interested to hear from others.

So interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I can definitely relate. I developed severe back pain and was diagnosed with a synovial cyst. Surgery was offered, but I decided to educate myself first. I kept going to the gym, focused on anti-inflammatory foods, and worked on improving my overall health. Within about six months, the worst of the pain…

I know it well! My wife and I started using it during Covid. I have emphysema, and it has helped me avoid respiratory infections, which are rather serious for me. It’s pretty pricey, though. Xylitol powder in bulk is quite reasonable, and lasts a long time.

Thanks @sfmedic for this note. I have asked our webteam if this is a setting that can be changed.

Surgery was offered for sciatica pain after I was diagnosed with 2 herniated lumbar discs after repeated throws to the mat in a jiu-jitsu/self-defense class my freshman year of college. I did try chiropractic treatment before I had a diagnosis. I don’t think he was a good one either. I chose the conservative approach to wait and I ended up…

I do wonder: Was the first one truly necessary, and did that first operation set her on the next step on a treatment conveyor belt?

Any chance of getting a link to Dr. Bikman’s interview?

There is a commercially available xylitol-containing nasal spray called “Xlear” that is formulated with or without red pepper. I prefer it with red pepper, which gives a very strong response. It helps, and does not have a rebound effect.

Where does sea salt fall in this?

Dr Yoho of Surviving Healthcare mentioned something I’ve been meaning to try: dissolving xylitol in either saline or distilled water, and using as a nasal rinse (with NetiPot or similar). I ordered the powder, but haven’t yet tried it. My GERD diminished greatly after several months on a ketogenic diet. I eliminated all bad oils,…
