Comment: Although this article is purported to be about creatine, it’s really about animal protein, as that is the sole contributor to creatine in the diet. It’s important to recognize that data on dietary creatine derived from animal protein is not equivalent to creatine supplementation, which may drive cancer metastasis.The researchers found that animal protein […]
Comment: I’ve always looked at the sun as a natural physiological signal rather than something we should instinctively fear. Our bodies evolved under it, and it makes clinical sense that gradual, low-dose exposure acts as an adaptive tonic for our health. I advocate going out in the early Spring, and building up a base tan, […]
Comment: I always prioritize all-cause mortality data over mechanism, and the hypothesis that sun exposure is negative is at this point dogmatic. This 2018 review is another showing the prevailing clinical mandate for UV avoidance conflicts with the documented reality that sun avoidance is a negative factor for human longevity. The Melanoma in Southern Sweden […]
Regulatory Transition and Clinical Continuity of Desiccated Thyroid Extract: A Strategic Analysis of FDA Policy Evolutions 2025–2026 Regulatory History: The Distinction Between Grandfathered and GRASE Status Desiccated Thyroid Extract (DTE) has been utilized for thyroid hormone replacement since the late 19th century, pre-dating the formal regulatory framework of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). […]
Comment: I use Aged Garlic Extract in my practice for plaques and calcifications as there are no risks to offset the potential benefit. But I do need to apply the same standards to the study as I do to a statin trial. This data reveals presents a conflicting baseline that muddies any clear clinical conclusion. […]
Comment: The findings in this randomized controlled trial of 5,804 elderly participants are unequivocal: after a mean follow-up of 42 months, pravastatin demonstrated absolutely no difference in cognitive decline across any domain—including executive function, processing speed, or memory. It also celebrates a 24% RRR in cardiovascular mortality while the Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) was a […]
Comment: This is another in a long line of studies where a randomized trial fails to show the benefit seen in observational cohorts. It is crucial to prioritize hard, randomized data because it is the only way to strip away the Healthy User Bias that plagues nutritional and pharmaceutical research. In observational studies, people who […]
Comment: Although meta-analyses are considered to be a higher level method, there are significant issues with them. I am always suspicious of pooled averages that ignore massive internal contradictions. This study reports high I2 for all-cause dementia ranging from 81.5% to 93%, which is a red flag. This number indicates that the studies being combined […]
Comment: This UK Biobank cohort study highlights a conflict between the narrative of statins as a vascular panacea and the documented reality that their use is associated with a 19% increased risk of incident Alzheimer’s disease (HR = 1.19). Looking carefully at the “protective” finding in APOE ε 4 homozygotes (HR = 0.72), there are […]
Comment: Although this study uses perception of sleep versus measured metrics and could suffer from recall bias, I tend to trust people’s perception of how well they sleep, and this one shows significant improvements with sexual activity. Gender differences in sleep perception exist for partnered sex alone, however these disparities effectively vanish if an orgasm […]
