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? 👇

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.

The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.

"On Wednesday, July 30, I stood trial in a German court for my opposition to genocide."

"A Jewish descendant of those murdered by Nazis, I am being labeled antisemitic for speaking out against the mass murder, the genocide of Palestinians."

Nazis murdered my family in the Holocaust. Now Germany is punishing me for protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
This week, I faced trial for opposing genocide, Zionism, and for challenging Germany’s unconditional support for Israel. The state prosecuting me may have legal authority, but its moral authority has…

Between agitation and nausea/vomiting, olanzapine has a wide range of use.

Olanzapine is generally not a front-line agent (e.g., haloperidol or ondansetron often are). But sometimes, it really comes in clutch....

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.

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.

Systematic reviews are just as flawed as any other body of research if not more so.

A gold-standard systematic review may be the best source of evidence on a topic matter, but a bad one can be INCREDIBLY misleading.
