I'm starting to think that CPAP for sleep apnea is very similar in concept to insulin for type 2 diabetes
If you are either actively working on, or dream of becoming part of a sovereign citadel community like this, I want to follow you. https://blossom.primal.net/6910e91dbd2d7ad357449f11d12c84e2e7db9a37f2...
I grew up in a setting with substantial resemblance to this. Colony in South America where the majority of the people were my cousins. Elements of Amish mixed in with a community setting. Hierarchy was largely determined by participation in the church. The intersection of religion and community governance were major factors in constantly changing tensions in the community. I know Amish here in the US who have some of these values. Sexual abuse is prevalent in these communities and is easily hidden so that's probably what I would fear the most in a community like this. I think shared values and a constitution for the community is more important than it being family. There needs to be a predetermined and well documented exit plan as people will at some point want to leave. Note that religion draws people together but often pushes them apart.
Overall my perspective is this would be fantastic if done well. Individual property rights still need to be protected. AI would be extremely helpful in thinking of scenarios that should be documented in the constitution.

You can’t read the label from inside the bottle.
In healthcare, we are "inside the bottle"—deep in the data and the science. But our patients are on the outside, reading the "label" (the messaging and the fears).
If we stay inside, we can't see the whole picture.
Vaccines, Amen by Aaron Siri is an absolutely fascinating read on the topic of vaccines. Written by an attorney, it provides the "outside perspective" that we in healthcare often miss.
It’s time to look at the label.

What are the best Bitcoin "piggybank" options for children? I have three children age 4-7 and I want something where they have the ability to save in Bitcoin, see their stack grow, and then spend it as appropriate. Or maybe even borrow against it at some point. Having interoperability with the fiat system <I think> is still important so they can realize some sense of converting fiat into Bitcoin, and see how the value of Bitcoin goes up in fiat terms. I'd prefer a subaccount on my account so that I don't need to use separate logins for each one. Maybe @strike has something in the works?
Aluminum along with other adjuvants and preservatives used in vaccines are likely a more substantial cause of autism than acetaminophen use during pregnancy. Note that vaccines given to children are also associated with acetaminophen use at the time of inflammation caused by these vaccines, so that could potentially increase the risk further.
When looking at populations that have lower rates of autism, I think of the Amish. And with the Amish you get less screen time, less exposure to artificial light spectrums, less exposure to nnEMF, less noise pollution less exposure to processed food (note that's been changing a lot over the prior several decades though). They are generally exposed to farming communities which creates a different microbiome. There have fewer medical intervention such as prenatal ultrasounds.
So I think trying to blame just acetaminophen or just vaccines is not sufficiently comprehensive.

I've come to realize that the belief that someone is going to get well is more important than any treatment, supplement, medication, or gizmo that I have ever encountered.
I’d be curious to hear your opinion in a month or two. This is the art of medicine.
The ivermectin didn't cure it. In the end he chose to use Accutane which helped tremendously.

We've long known statins worsen insulin resistance/increase risk of diabetes. This paper gives a mechanism and thus potential treatment for people taking statins. Not medical advice - but know that UDCA is readily available as TUDCA - just UDCA with a taurine molecule attached.

It can link to nonexistent pubmed articles and make up data. It is seriously too soon to use it for designing a decision path for a patient.
Yes, hallucinations are a weakness. Much improved from what it was 2 years ago though. Sometimes I'm not sure which to trust though since I don't trust everything published on pubmed either.
AI can make medicine more efficient.
It can expand differentials.
It can prevent mistakes.
It can propose diagnostics and treatments.
It can document the note and thought process behind the decisions.
It will continue to get better.
But it can’t teach wisdom.
If young doctors never learn to argue with the algorithm, the pipeline of learning wisdom dies.
In ten years, the thinkers will be the ones naming their price.
