Seems like there is strong evidence that ADHD stimulants save lives. https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-symptoms-coronavirus-risk/ "The COVID-19 infection rate is nearly 50% higher among individuals with unmedicated ADHD compared to individuals without ADHD" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32629693/ "The white blood count rose by 1350 cells/μL (P < .033) due to neutrophilia, lymphocytosis and eosinophilia. The results indicate that methylphenidate may cause hypokalemia and elevated glucose, leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosinophil counts.

Here is the website for the Italian oncologist: http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/whois-simoncini.html Below are the you-tube videos. Part 1: Part 2: Tell me what you guys think. From his website: "His therapy based on the strongest antifungal substance, sodium bicarbonate, is harmless and very effective and should be adopted all over the world."

When i use Listerine my throat feel very itchy and make me want to cough. I need to drink a lot of fresh water to relieve cough.

I've noticed that if hypothetically I've smoked marijuana within one or two weeks of drinking I don't get hangovers. And I'm the stereotypical skinny guy who usually gets really bad hangovers. If you look at some of the things marijuana treats verses hangover symptoms it would make a lot of sense. Hangover symptoms: Dehydration (fixed with some water lol) Headache* Bodyache* Nausea* Loss of appetite* Fatigue Irritability (probably caused because of the other symptoms more than anything else) All the *'s are treated by marijuana. Makes sense to me at least. I cant find any studies which prove this though. A word of warning; from what I've heard yo…

I have several friends and family members who have diabetes. Because of this I end up getting tipped on meidcal news regarding disease quite frequently. Lately everyone is abuzz about this new medical procedure that is apparently curing diabetes in the majority of patients... as well as high blood preasure, and obesity. It soulnds too good to be true, and I am working my way through the journal articles, but I felt that it is intriguing enough that I would clue folks in here in case they suffer from diabetes and haven't heard of it yet. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080305113659.htm

Does anybody have any info on whether antibiotics are safe, long after the use-by date? I'm talking about tablets or capsules that are stored at room temperature in comfortable dry conditions. Last night I had a horrendous toothache, I was nearly hopping round the room, I was downing Ibuprofen but it hardly touched the pain. In desperation, I dug out some old drugs that never got used, and I found a bottle of antibiotics that looked brand new, and I had written " for toothache" on the label. I would have used them, I was that desperate, but I looked at the date, and it was 2002 !! Even so, I was in so much pain, I was hovering on the verge of taking them, but I r…

I have to start to learn medicine, and I had a question. How were blood groups determined ? is it by mixing some blood of several people on a plate and it could coagulate or not ?

(i originally posted this on a gun forum i go to alot but i figured some of you in the medican field might want to see it also....so some of the stuff might only make sense to people involved in shooting) but if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask also i think the mods might have to approve the pics first but if thats the case you can view them on the forum i originally posted them on. you do NOT have to sign up for anything to view http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/xdtalk-chatter-box/151482-well-crap-i-shot-myself-foot-not-too-graphic.html ok so i was shooting my walther p22 and i went to de-cock it by holding the hammer and pulling the trigger and then s…

The medical progress is coming to brick wall. The medical progress is slowing down and yes medical breakthroughs is slowing down .Yes the public does expects medical breakthroughs to occur all the time and medical progress but it is slowing down very fast.One can just look at cancer,autoimmune diseases and organ failure. The problem with medicine is there is two approaches to problem drugs or surgery.And for the past 100 years drugs ware flying out like flies but are slowing down now and there is nothing surgery can do for cancer,autoimmune diseases and organ failure. When it comes to electronics that stop working or going bad we pop out the bad part an…

BBC report which states the above and looks at possible reasons. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-50631220 Dows anyone have comparable figures for other places?

I was watchin a documentry on discovery once about bones. (like 6 years ago) and they were talkin about repairing broken bones with cells that deploy acid mealting a layer of bone and calcium things folowing them deploying calcium. i just need to know the name of the cells....anyone know???

Hello, I'm on a diet, trying to lose weight, and I'm wondering why some days I gain weight and some days I lose weight. I'm monitoring my calories and being sure I'm under 2000 every day. I also commute to work on my bike everyday, half an hour per leg. Two days ago, I weighed myself. I was at 175 lb. Then yesterday, I weighed myself. I was at 176 lb. This morning, I was at 177 lb. Here's what I ate yesterday: yogurt for breakfast: 35 calories soup for lunch: 200 crackers with the soup: 100 chicken salad for supper: romain lettuce: 10 roma tomato: 35 carrot: 25 1/3 yellow bell pepper: 20 4 or 5 broccoli spears: 10 mushrooms: 5 cucumber: 5 1 ch…

Hey guys , So some Muslim people say that the prayer is scientifically healthy and I wanted to check if that is true. I looked for some source in google scholar and I didn't find any. I looked in google and found this website " https://www.heighpubs.org/jnpr/jnpr-aid1020.php " and I wanna know if this source is reliable or not since it is not my speciality

I paid attention to 2 cases. 1. The main problem of diabetes mellitus is that the tissues do not absorb glucose, however, therapy is reduced to lowering blood sugar 2. Hypertension is a symptom of some kind of problem or genetically predetermined, depending on the characteristics of the organism, however, a general norm has been established and everyone is adjusted to fit it. Why is this approach not practiced, for example, for melanin content or the shape of the skull?

Hello. Im 17 and thinking about applying to study Medicine. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips about what to include in my personal statement, at the interview. and a list of the best british medical schools/ universities. I've got my work experience sorted out for the summer break! thank you for your help, Martyn.

If you ask the typical layperson, he or she will say that medicine is doing wonders today. But the FDA published a 'panic bulletin' in 2008 noting that the number of new drug approval requests had declined for the first time since the approval process was established, and the typical patent attorney will tell you that the drug patenting laws are now inappropriate because they were designed to protect major therapeutic breakthroughs which are no longer happening. The death rates for many forms of cancer have not improved significantly for decades, the unsolved problems in diabetes and renal failure remain what they were a half century ago, and the last disease removed as…

A while back on another forum I posted: Please help find an earlier discussion on the Title topic as I'd rather post in that thread! Can't recall my exact words ... but something along the lines of: ==== Cold/flu lab study for students (as in a Univ. campus). You sign up to get enrolled into a study where researchers DELIBERATELY swab you (in nose) with a common cold / flu virus. You spend a few days in a lab where your symptoms -- if any -- are monitored. Something like this -- https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/40/9/1263/370417 You are paid to participate but -- unlike above -- students were DELIBERATELY infected. I reca…

Here are two methods currently being used in the US http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/daily/graphics/sexselection_121404.html It costs a few thousand dollars, but many families think it is worth it for what they call "balance". Like for instance they already have 4 boys and the mother really wants a little girl. Or they do it because of some genetic problem that runs in the family and is only expressed in males, or passed down in the male line, so they choose to have daughters to avoid an inherited handicap. And maybe other families do it for what you might think were frivolous reasons. But anyway it is legal and clinics that do it advert…

William of Oakham, mispronounced as Occam, used to live not far from where I now stay....but around 700 years ago. His lasting legacy to philosophy, and indeed to problem solving, was the principle called "Occam's Razor", which essentially states that in trying to resolve to a problem, try and reach for the simplest solution that explains all parts of the problem. Occam's razor implies that in reaching a solution, try and make as few assumptions as possible. I have outlined this in bold, as this is the key to interpreting Occam's razor. This is also called the "Principle of Parsimony". Lest people use this blindly, let me quote something I read, "Occam's razor is …

We can put man on the moon but we can't treat the common cold. Why? And why is the medicine field the slowest progressing field in science apart from any socio-politics?

I'm doing a project in school on the medicine we have now and medicine in the past or years ago in the past.The only things I can think of ar. 1.liver, heart, kidney ,face transplant we have now not possible 50 yaers ago. 2.Working on a person brain or heart .No doctor would do that 50 years ago . 3.Microscope invented in 1800's allow us today to understand the microorganism and what causes diseases and illnesses. 4.The Microscope and computers / math allowed inventions in drugs. 5.People with HIV are living longer than 20 years ago. 6.People who have cancer is no longer a death sentence.( only some cancers are easier to treat and well others are harder to treat …

Homeopathic 'remedies' are comprised of WATER. At normal doses, there is literally no medicine in the medicine. The analogy of a pinch of salt in all of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans is a valid estimate. It is mostly administered in pill form, where a drop of water is placed onto a sugar pill, or pure form, where it is sprayed into the mouth or consumed like syrup. Either way, why does anyone buy into this at all? Further, why do I see it in pharmacies?! I mean, I understand why some people may believe in the stuff (the world would be an amazing place if homeopathy was the craziest thing anyone believed in), but how in the hell is it among normal medicine on the shelves…

Responses from physicians, scientists, or SFN members sought and welcomed.

so one of my employees suddenly decided to go vegan cause he read somewhere that meat is unhealthy. so im wondering if anyone knows of any unbiased studies to prove this? i tried to google is but i thought of a few problems with any results i found. lets say for example if you eat a t-bone 2-3 times a week, and some study shows this is unhealthy, have they taken the whole (meat and fat) steak into account? have they taken the cooking method (fry) into account.? so you could get what i think is a perfectly healthy piece of beef. trim off all fat and fry in olive oil. Or, you could leave all the fat on and overcook it till its half burnt in a che…
