Love is the answer
And what’s to keep them from “cleaning the files up” before release?

Interesting to consider their utility for CVD and other inflammation-mediated conditions in patients with healthy BMIs

It’s a really great one this week (not that they all aren’t great but this one’s extra)!

Charlie Kirk, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones and their ilk are in it for the big BIG money. According to the NYT, Turning Point grossed 93 million dollars last year. Of course Erika will “keep his message alive.” All the way to the bank! I don’t even think they truly believe half of what they’re saying.

I just happily cancelled our Hulu subscription (it’s under the Disney umbrella). When you cancel online they ask you why and I let them have it!

A great many of us will miss your ever-smart-and-funny How to Read this Chart but I have full confidence that you will land squarely on your feet and do much more good in this world sharing your wit, insight, and reliable sense of justice.

I bet there will be studies looking at post-65 initiators of HRT now that the opinion tide has turned on HRT in clinical medicine. I predict that in fit and healthy women, the benefits of low-dose transdermal estradiol (with or without progesterone) will be found to outweigh the risks.

Combination hrt is necessary for women with an intact uterus bc estrogen alone causes uterine hyperplasia and increased endometrial cancer risk. Progestogens protect the endometrium but also reduce (but do not eliminate!) the benefits conferred by estrogen.

Evidence from this elegant and ground-breaking paper supports unopposed transdermal estrogen as conferring far greater health outcomes than estrogen and progesterone in combination. The hitch is one would need to have had a hysterectomy…

I love ‘em all, but this 1946 “edition” was especially interesting. Clever!

I actually think he set out to make those “in the know” a TON of money. The grift never stops with this con-man-der in chief!

I’m hoping the report can be “leaked” if need be.

Nor should utility companies or pharmaceutical companies. Sure, pay the employees well for their work, but eliminate the shareholders!
