Just out of curiosity, was it your son or your daughter who was dismissed?

I thought this might be of interest in relation to the Pfizer vaccine : https://lesmoutonsenrages.fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/NIH-Clinical-Trials-Vaccine-Pfizer-BNT162b12-.pdf The link contains info from ClinicalTrials.gov that has been saved as a PDF file. Presumably this was because the...

NIH = National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the website is described as "An official website of the United States Government" Title : Functional Neurological Disorder Link : https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/functional-neurologic-disorder I'm only...

Vitamin E supplements are not all equal. According to wikipedia "Vitamin E is a group of eight fat soluble compounds that include four tocopherols and four tocotrienols." Many vitamin E supplements just contain alpha-tocopherol. Some people swear by supplements that contain just the...

Sounds like my kind of guy. :D

I'd be checking his cortisol levels. Being burgled is stressful. So is being deaf. His cortisol levels may have rocketed after the burglary, and already been high as a result of his deafness. And is tremor or effects on cortisol one of the side effects of his ADHD medication?

Helicobacter pylori is described as an infection. A gut infection of this type probably populates itself within an infected person from the mouth to the anus. It might be found in vomit, spit, faeces, plus possibly urine, snot and phlegm. So with people eating together, kissing each other...

Thank you, @NelliePledge

I lose track of all the names. Is the author a BPS adherent or not?

How will this research be used in future? I can imagine the following scenario: Someone who is known to have been exposed to violence or has been in the past or has been physically attacked themselves, will have doctors jumping to the conclusion that any physical symptoms are a result of...

(sarcasm) Clearly a doctor with lots of empathy and a winning personality who has a deep understanding of how people tick. :banghead:

I was first given a single injected dose of metoclopramide as an anti-emetic during a surgery in the 1990s. When I came round from the anaesthetic my hands and knees were flapping and jumping around even while I was lying down. The anaesthetist told me what she thought I was probably reacting to...

Metoclopramide The doctor who prescribed it described it as a Prokinetic Agent I had to be given an antidote to the metoclopramide. There are a few available, but I can't remember what it was I was given. I only took 5 tablets in total (of the metoclopramide), but it took about three months...

I would be wary of taking Ativan, which is addictive. It can also cause movement disorders such as ataxia, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia. Having (briefly) had akathisia as a result of a drug I was taking to improve gut motility, and had to give it up after three days, I would never agree to...

A few years ago I had a copious GI bleed. It went on for several years. Initially I was worried that I might have cancer. But due to the total incompetence and disbelief I met with I thought I might bleed to death or die of heart failure before diagnosis because the bleeding was getting worse...

As people age they produce less and less stomach acid. This is the cause of indigestion and heartburn in many people, despite them usually being told they have "high levels" of stomach acid. And yet, the older people are the more likely they are to be prescribed drugs (PPIs and antacids) to...

Don't many Americans work incredibly long hours? I thought 50/60/70 hours per week was common. If they struggle to cook due to lack of time then they must be eating lots of processed food which probably isn't full of the healthiest ingredients. Another point... High infant mortality and...

Wow, sounds like a recipe for an abusive relationship and a life of doing all the housework, all the cooking, all the child rearing, as well as having a full time job.

I've never heard of that. I grew up being fed meat and potatoes quite often, although there was never enough meat and there was far too much potato for my liking.

I read a worrying article about that today : https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/ghost-children-the-pupils-who-never-came-back-after-lockdown/ When the lockdowns were happening I couldn't help but think at the time about how I would have coped as a child/teenager living with my family while...
