Damn, we should have told my wife's great aunt who died at 103 to get off her ass, do a cardio workout and stop skipping leg day. Maybe the Parkinson's it was related to and she lived with for decades would have been cured too.

Oh sure. Mayo Clinic. Like those assholes know anythingIgnorance is a personality trait of his.

Whoa. How dare you introduce facts in a fact free zone. 5 demerits for you.
You declaring that you’re a simple man is the only thing you got right.
Hey you forgot that better water cured cancer. Oops. I should have left yhat for the Googly guy I guess.
And Lyme disease was a bioweapon cooked up by the military. So says our brilliant HHS Sec.

Many of you don’t care what anyone says, only who says it, whether that be on here or at a national level.
Well if you get cancer then you’ve opened the door for folks to say F your feelings and the doctors who treat cancer have the green light to leave you alone.
I personally could care less how people identify themselves as it makes zero impact on my or 99% of everyone else’s lives. And because they’ve made the decision to do so knowing that the ridicule and hatred will come their way, they have more courage than most Americans. This is their right to live as they so chose as a right God gives to each and every person. Same kind of crap was spewed about people who came out of the closet as being gay. And for clarity I don’t support transgender competition in women’s sports. Totally unfair on a competitive level. These cultural issues do nothing but divide people and encourage our lesser angels.
I have not idea what cause it but I’ve had it in the past. And this was before I’d ever even heard of it. It was not a fun affliction. Going to sleep many nights was difficult at best. Thankfully, it no longer afflicts me.
On another note. I’m curious as to why I was afflicted as, if it’s a dopamine transmission to the brain, I’ve been told to me many times that I’m brainless. And recently I had a CT Scan with contrast of my head as it was thought I was experiencing mini strokes. To the amazement of my wife and all who know me, they discovered I actually had said brain. Now to those on here that don’t believe in medical science, you are free to doubt the results.
Correct. But don’t pretend like it doesn’t exist. You are the king of moving goalposts to suit your agenda
Ok doctor googly. I worked out 7 days a week and ran 2 miles a day. Got another internet cure? Please let us know which med school you attended. I actually trust doctors and science. You on the other hand trust RFK a whack job who promotes conspiracy theories and has never run anything larger than his mouth. His own family even says he’s whacked.
Vitamin A and measles, just the facts.
RFK Jr. has linked the recent measles outbreak to poor nutrition and health and emphasized the role of vitamin A in preventing measles-related deaths. Did he pull this out of thin air? Not entirely—there are kernels of truth in his claims. However, as he often does, he left out critical context that negates his claim.
Worldwide, Vitamin A deficiency is common, especially in low- and middle-income nations. In vitamin A-deficient children, T cell responses and antibody production after measles infection are both dampened and so they experience more severe disease symptoms. Vitamin A supplementation specifically in Vitamin A deficient children helps them: a 12% reduction in mortality in a large meta analysis study.
But…
Non-vitamin A deficient children in the large Samoan outbreak and given extra Vitamin A showed no benefit from the extra vitamin A. This has been repeated in other studies. It was also studied as a PREVENTATIVE, but also didn’t work in that context.
There is mixed data about what happens to Vitamin A levels DURING a SEVERE measles infection, one requiring hospitalization. Some studies show that it drops, and physicians in the U.S. often give vitamin A to children with severe measles requiring hospitalization. When administered in controlled doses under the supervision of a doctor, it is a low-risk intervention, which is why many physicians in Texas are likely giving it to hospitalized measles patients right now and why WHO has a sweeping recommendation. But in the U.S., it’s unclear how much it’s really helping.
Why? Less than 0.3% of the U.S. population has a vitamin A deficiency.
What is the risk of a blanket recommendation to take extra Vitamin A at home? Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin so it accumulates in tissue. You can overdose on it and have side effects such as liver damage. It is fundamentally different than water soluble vitamins like Vitamin C, which if you take more than you need, you simply pee out the excess.
Bottom line: Vitamin A can help lessen severity of a measles infection in children who are deficient in vitamin A. It MAY also lower the rate of transmission in children who are deficient in vitamin A. In children who are NOT deficient in vitamin A, there is no evidence that it is helpful to take extra, outside of a hospital setting (and data on that is not completely clear). Outside of a hospital setting the risk of an overdose is elevated, especially in children with low body weight and in a situation where there is a lot of fear and misinformation.
I am not a doctor, but I am passing this info on, reported in the blog "Your Local Epidemiologist" by a two prominent epidemiologists from Yale, Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, MPH PhD and Kristen Panthagani, MD, PhD.

You nailed it. This is also why supplementing massive doses of Vitamin D and / or E is a bad idea
What I should have added to the bottom line section is that
-to get extra protection from the measles, if you aren't vaccinated, get vaccinated.
-If you are vaccinated, tell the unvaccinated to get vaccinated.
-we all need to educate the RFK Jr. fanboys about science
