Fun fact: Doctor Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, close friend of Trump and RFK Jr., and self-admitted fraudulent supplement huckster, sells multiple forms of leucovorin through his supplement company, iHerb, which he didn’t divest when taking his federal gov role.

Anyway watch the stocks of whoever has the patent of leucovorin go up after the announcement. That’s all this is. Promoting Leucovorin so adults force their kids to ingest it to “cure their autism”.

But what is Leucovorin and why are they claiming it cures autism? 👇

Honey and analgesia

2 - 3 doses daily of oral honey/placebo in children post-tonsillectomy for 7 days, in addition to regular paracetamol, ibuprofen & as required oxycodone did not result in a clinical improvement in pain or recovery over a 14-day follow-up period.

I'm begging everyone who hasn't yet to read this book. The premise, about a man living in an infinite house, is terrifically inventive, and it goes in a direction you don't expect. No other living author writes with such a keen sense of horror & beauty. The book of the decade.

As I tell trainees “Propofol fixes everything in paediatric anaesthesia, apart from hypotension” so an ‘emergency Propofol’ for all lists. Dilute adrenaline (10mcg/ml) for high-risk emergency cases (sick neonates, significant URTI, likely to brady..)

"Microsoft, for example, cancelled the Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider" - they're making Proton sound bad :(
Flippancy aside, the general US trend is to dissolve the world's legal framework.

The ICC’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email, and his bank accounts have been frozen.

American staffers at the court have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest.

NGOs have stopped working with the ICC, the leader of one won’t even reply to ICC emails.
