    Lakanto, Monkfruit Sweetener, Cake Mix: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CC1FMJQ

    Imagine cake, brownies, muffins, pastries without the SUGAR you know and love πŸ₯°, but instead sweetened with a sugar free alternative that tastes JUST LIKE sugar. Well, I've found just that with Lakanto Cake Mix among their Brownie Mix, Muffin Mix. I'm shocked that you can get a sugar taste without SUGAR!

    Enjoy all the hot chocolate, cake and sweets you want without getting diab...

  • No, We Do Not Have Measles Outbreak Every Year. RFK Jr. is dumb and a Purposeful Idiot.

    Measles was eliminated in the US in 2000.
    We didn't have endemic spread again until 2017/2018
    Which is a very coincidental year

    Ugh.... RFK Jr's brain worms are working overtime

  • Immune System Spares Some Cells That Produce Spike Protein after taking MRNA Vaccine

    Well, it's thought that long post vaccination symptoms are due to this.

    β€œIt’s clear that some individuals are experiencing significant challenges after vaccination. Our responsibility as scientists and clinicians is to listen to their experiences, rigorously investigate the underlying causes, and seek ways to help,” said Harlan Krumholz, the Harold H. Hines, Jr. Professor of Medicine (Cardio...

  • The Line Between a C Doctor and F Doctor is Startling Small

    Updated at

    Given my previous over interactions with doctors in the past related to the Pilonidal disease, I feel very much qualified to say this.

    I think it is undeniable that if a primary care doctor asks "What can I do for you?" after you've explained you issues that they are an "F" doctor. Some might say too harsh, "C". No, We should expect better from any doctor not give an ounce of legitimacy to those that play pretend listen.

    The job of primary care is to LISTEN CLOSELY, EDUCATE, RECOMMEND, ADVISE. These four tene...

  • Low Testosterone is a Pain

    Updated at

    My Testosterone levels have been lowww, out of range for a few years now at least when I started tracking it. The Pilonidal disease from before obviously didn't help considering I felt like an old man with odd joint, muscle pain periodically. I wondered why I didn't have the same strong urges as other men, so I kind of think maybe I was born with it or at least maybe environmental factors as I was growing up contributed to it.

    Not the best childhood, not the best living area for that matter. Chronic stress a...

  • Turns out the Total Length of Capillaries in a Human is 9,000-19,000km. Not 60,000mi or 100,000km.

    Updated at

    The usual parroting of "60,000 miles of Blood Vessels" and "100,000km of Blood Vessels" is incorrect. Medical "knowledge" or "fun facts" is flawed like any other.

    These guys went through the trouble to verify the source and found it was only a fun calculation by an expert at the time in 1929. Yes, a fun calculation just like the BMI number.

    You have to appreciate people who dig down to find out how people don't cite sources for what they quote = plagiarism + bad information. You'd think if someone quotes even...

  • Narrated Short Stories are Interesting. Calming at times.

    Updated at

    You could learn something from narrated short stories. Even if those stories come from Reddit. Obviously, not a book story, but someone's experience with a situation.

    Like what? They left you at your home alone going on a vacation without saying anything as they desired to live in your home, your father's new wife told you to clean your own home, you call them and they act like complete and total utter sh*t, but still desire to live with you? It screams bloody red flags. The lack of even saying anything abou...

  • A Sleep Study Could Save You Grief

    Updated at

    Sleep Apnea is a killer. Slowly but surely as you age. Isn't it crazy for your body to be set to kill itself by hypoxia. Your brain is deprived of oxygen while you are sleeping and this affects brain chemistry as well as how your body regulates itself over time.

    A sleep study doesn't take much effort. If you've been groggy, not well rested, irritated, stressed out for no good reason, waking up in the middle of the night, I'd reckon on Sleep Apnea. Typically go to a Neurololgist, ENT or Dentist to do it.

  • It's a Travesty The State of Health Care When There's Tons of Data Out There

    |
    Updated at

    The fact that little to no doctors look at smart watch data when these things are active sensors with people day in and day out. There's a treasure trove of data that would help diagnose and prevent issues.

    I have to question the credentials of every single doctor when they don't look at this data. Primary Care doctors should be the first ones to seek this kind of data when they cannot figure out whats going on. It's a real travesty, the idea that one can look at watches on people's wrists and not have any s...

  • Man Passed Out in His Car Mysteriously and Car Goes Off Road

    Imagine that, man drives car like normal day and all of a sudden loses consciousness. Was not doing too well driving his car. Dizziness, nausea, etc.

    Given American's medical system, what do you think they did? πŸ˜… Surprisingly, his doctor in the ER found that he has Orthostatic Hypotension from a hereditary condition. MRI, Tilt table, etc. Apparently, you need to crash your car to actually get good treatment. His health insurance though, ha, didn't pay much not surprising.

    Surprisingly didn't just call it "anx...
