Other than soup being moderately warm, I prefer my beverage of choice water to be very cold. Plant milks and other fruit and vegetable juices moderately cold. Teas usually start out hot but my drinking range runs from warm to very cold. I usually burn my tongue on anything hot and regret drinking it too soon. So I’m thinking I am probably safe on this one.

Years ago didn’t the Federal Government purchase millions of doses of Tamiflu for a “just in case” pandemic? I’m thinking this was another windfall for the drug manufacturer at the taxpayer’s expense. Who among us is willing to take a defective product in the hopes that it will be more helpful than harmful?

I like that idea of a guide. Stones in the urinary tract are a fairly complicated issue with lots of factors involved. Diet is clearly a driving force and with careful monitoring it can have a positive outcome on keeping stone formation a non-issue.

Awe yes the famous kidney stone episode. I have been the unfortunate victim of stones for a long portion of my life. At 40 I had my first kidney stone challenge. Very painful but it passed with the help of the hospital. It was very small, maybe 1/16″. Next stone at 50 and pretty much the same thing but by this time I was already 9 years into…

We don’t need an EO from the President. All we have to do is poll the employees of HHS and see what percentage of them have volunteered for this latest human trial experiment. I would be surprised at anything over about 15%, which would tell me that even they do not believe it is either safe or effective. They need to set the example. If…

I do what I call “trickle dosing.” I do a 6mg dose every other day, alternating with quercetin. This has been my regimen since 2021. If I feel like something is off and I might be coming into a viral challenge, I will immediately start with a daily dose of 12mg IVM until whatever was the challenge goes away. However, I continue with the 12mg…

Not a chance in hell would I ever consider this a valid choice for myself. I’ll stick with proven IVM for my flu prophylaxis. A 92 page insert, that says it all. CYA disclosures I’m sure.

Interesting take @IMA-HelenT . I hadn’t thought of that perspective but it wouldn’t surprise me. Who knows what really motivates people to do things.

Too many variables to deal with when eating out. It isn’t worth it to risk something that can have an impact on my health. Eating at home I control everything. About the riskiest thing I do is attend vegan potlucks when I visit vegan communities. Never had any issues because we all share the same mindset. Knock on wood!

I watched it on YouTube. It was another disgusting display of CNN trying to embarrass another Trump administration official. If you are going to invite a guest on your program to provide information then it is incumbent upon you to let the person speak. This wasn’t happening. It was a confrontation with a diatribe of the host’s personal…

I sometimes question the content of videos from Dr. Berg. So I did an inquiry and found this RCT on PubMed that addressed this issue.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8876703/

Conclusion was that a drug that reduces aromatase was ineffective. I would be sceptical that lemonade would be any more effective against BPH.

The AI engine I use for anything medical is Perplexity. That model seems to have a deep dive capability for science based answers.

Here is a link to an article from a 10 month old piece in Vaccines.news which I read today that pretty much covers the issue.

https://www.vaccines.news/2025-09-13-661-studies-fail-to-prove-vaccine-safety.html

So what exactly is the issue. Is the Trump administration waffling on the matter of vaccine safety by simply saying that vaccines are…

I am convinced that nobody in the world really cares about your health, often times not even yourself. For me my health is my number one priority. Nothing else really matters if you are dealing with health issues. The one exception is mothers and fathers who truly love their children. You have to be your own health advocate because you have…

Ivermectin is readily available anywhere in the world without a prescription. I don’t see any connection with the current oil situation in the middle east. The US has plenty of oil. It is the oil companies taking advantage of the situation.

Personally I would substitute Allulose for the erythritol for a couple of reasons. It dissolves easier, it is less upsetting to the gut, and is less sweet tasting. Also erythritol is generally made with GMO corn which is contaminated with glysophate.

After reading about all the different MOA’s associated with IVM and watching a lot of Dr. Been videos way back in 2021 I decided that IVM was a better prophylactic measure than taking experimental mRNA vaccines. I secured a large supply of IVM from India in both 6mg and 12mg dosage for myself and friends and have been using it ever since. I…

For all of us vegans, B12 is pretty critical. Nobody really knows what the half life of B12 is in the tissues so it is hard to judge if one is deficient or not. But since B12 is primarily sourced from animals, vegans have to get it through supplements. B12 is part of several hundred different biochemical reactions that keep us healthy so it is…

I tried to watch it live on Wednesday but bailed after the zoom problems lasted for more than 10 minutes. Rumble feed didn’t work either. Figured I would just wait for the replay which I see has been posted.

My sister started dialysis the day after Christmas. She had about six treatments before she was hospitalized for a MSSA infection of her catheter. She almost died. With aggressive treatment she pulled through and after a month at the hospital she was discharged to a skilled nursing facility for ambulatory rehabbing.

She had dialysis in…

Sometimes my FaceBook feed displays a scientific discovery that tickles my thought process. Today’s discovery was about chromothripsis. So whenever I want to learn more about a subject I often start out with an inquiry to Grok. Below are the answers I received from my two questions.

What is the enzyme responsible for Chromothripsis?

An Update:
FDA has approved histotripsy for some liver cancers based on recent study results.
Here is the link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41255274/

We need to see more of these studies published where credible scientific works were suppressed or removed for political reasons. Obviously flawed studies should be removed, but if a study provides reliable reproducible peer reviewed results, it deserves to be published for public knowledge.

Well at least because of new HHS policy, you will now have access to nutritional information as part of your curriculum. Of course the quality of the nutrition classes may or may not be helpful in your medical education depending on the school.

Kind of highlights the importance of a quality peer review. Had they tried to submit it for inclusion in the IMA Journal, I’m willing to bet it would have been rejected for publication.

Personally I’m not a big fan of the revised food pyramid. It is obvious that the meat and dairy industries had a big influence in the revision. Too much emphasis on the Whole Foods part and not enough of the Plant Based part. I’m a big supporter of the small farmer and would like to see that segment grow. Not so much interested in the…

Thanks for your input @tommywalkshills . You answered my question about ticks. Wondered if it would be effective in relieving the week long itch from tick bites. I have also noticed that IVM has been effective in countering histamine type stuff; allergies and runny nose.

Although IVM is an amazing drug, I would recommend that you add a few more days of treatment past your “I’m feeling much better day,” whenever that is. I had a premonition of a flu like symptom one day last year and took a dose of IVM and felt much better on the following day. One day later the symptom returned so added a couple of days…

Choice of fonts is sometimes not controllable by the website creator. Fonts are just one factor contributing to the readability of a page. A more important factor is the length of the line being viewed. It is much easier to read a short line than a long line because the eyes can follow the beginning and end locations without having to…

I always start out with such questions by asking Perplexity or Grok to give me an answer. If I still have questions then I ask humans. But AI usually can give me a deep explanation that provide all the knowledge I need.

I trust Dr. Google a whole lot more than I ever would Dr. Gates.

Every new study using repurposed drugs must be scrupulously assessed for accuracy and honesty through objective peer review. I won’t trust any pronouncement that have not had a fair analysis by the professionals in the field who can ask the right questions. I remember all the fake IVM studies that used the wrong timing, the wrong dosing, and…

IMHO the biggest failure of the Trump 1.0 administration was Operation Warp Speed. It was a good idea in theory but the actual implementation was flawed. Safety check points were discounted and / or ignored and all those who participated are culpable.

I have anxiety just from thinking about the cost of saffron let alone using it.

I love raw milk. In fact I make my own. I have a dedicated milk maker for that purpose. Fresh soy, rice, oat, and almond are easy to make and very economical. The quality is excellent and the taste is superb. 20+ years now and no permit required.

Ten cents per pill and $30 shipping is about right from my experience. I used two different IndiaMart vendors in the past and was impressed with the service and quality of the products that I received. I used Wise as my payment venue in both cases. Will probably need to reorder again in about a year so a comprehensive vendor list from…

One of the three pillars of the vegan lifestyle is environmental stewardship. This degradation of the environment has been going on for a very long time and it is something that we as humans are totally responsible for. There is a sector of the population that believes that we can do a better job of managing our planet than God. There is…

Most vegans understand this and use their Vitamixes to make their own flour. Lots of different options for making flour from all sorts of seeds and some beans. Much healthier. You have it exactly right.

You must be doing something right. Write your book and share your wisdom. I’m 76 and counting so help me reach 100+.

UHHH. Is this even a question? Only lunatic liberals would take anything printed in the NYT as anywhere near the truth. All the news fit to print has long ago went out the window.

Another great selection by HHS supporting the credibility and the competency of the members of the IMA medical community.

Yes @IMA-GregT that would be my sister who was diagnosed with MSSA on Jan 7th from an infected dialysis catheter placed on Dec 26th. I specifically asked the attending physician for Infectious Disease if they were aware of Dr. Marik’s sepsis protocol after I read the clinical notes indicating sepsis. She immediately responded that she was in…

Using a therapeutic dose of .2mg/kg at my weight comes out to 12mg. I cut it in half because I have found over the years that my body response to medications and supplements at about 50% of the normal dosages. I alternate days with quercetin to avoid the conflict with IVM. The 333 mg dose is what I fit into a capsule that I fill. My plant…

Latest search was for my hospitalized sister who developed a…

If home schooling and private schooling is not an option then my response would be to simply force the state to take me to court to compel compliance then sue the state for any health related issues.

My daily routine supplementation includes 6mg IVM on one day and 333 mg Quercetin on the next day as a prophy for anything viral. It seems to work effectively since I haven’t had anything viral since the beginning of the “pandemic” when I started researching alternatives to the jab.

I am seeing a lot of medical professionals and patients in Oregon that are saying that they are ignoring the new guidelines and sticking with the old recommendations. I’m thinking this is going to follow political values.

@IMA-HelenT More reason to support mandatory labeling of all GMO and bioengineered products.

I’m your doctor and I’m here to help you manage your health. Add this one to the list.

My father had a thinning receding hairline when I saw him last in the 1950’s. So I figured that my thinning hair in my late 60’s was inherited. My solution was to embrace the inevitable and just start going bald. So now for the past 10 years I have been just shaving my little bit of hair off the head daily. My character has nothing to do with…
