Pathologist here, I use FDA-approved antibodies in my daily practice. I'm going to assume you're a hacker and you're looking for what I'll call "Haynes Manual" understanding. Any textbook on molecular biology or immunology would be a good start. Conversely, I would strongly advise avoiding anything from any internet personality with an opinion on this stuff.
The medical part of the internet is extremely skewed because the subject matter is rather complicated. There are experts trying desperately to stay in their lanes and keep up high walls by only publishing in serious scientific journals, and there's the YouTubers and bloggers inviting you into their pits of crazy. Even if you're trying to understand a fairly simple system, like a modern drive-by-wire Honda Accord, YouTube is likely to lead you astray before you find the right answer. When it comes to biomedical systems, most social media types are telling you to pour sugar in your gas tank, and the right answer has never, and may never, be posted in that forum.
The compromise is to read a textbook. Sort of like a Haynes manual isn't actually going to teach you the finer points of adiabatic expansion, but you can get reliable information about how your car is put together.
- pokemongoaway 8y agoMost "health professionals" seem to have myriad health problems - most of which are even visible on an obvious level. I always find it funny when people recommend "don't read this or that because it is dangerous information." Either you're talking to someone who can think for themselves or you are not. So in this case, if he cannot think for himself - but he reads the leading biology textbooks - then he will get the God's honest truth? I don't blame you for being partial to your own field, but that's really all your comment amounts to. When the leading FDA approved scientists are recommending vaccines that include proteins from food to this day - then there is no wonder why many communities of outcast "pseudoscientists" think just as lowly of the mainstream health professionals who accuse them of pseudoscience. There are many warning comments about "quacks" in this thread, but either a therapeutic process decreases the OP's symptoms - or it does not - right? Again, it is characteristic of HN elitism to warn against all of these "quacks" when they already have to tell their patients -- It was the "quacks" who lead the awareness of relationship between "autoimmune problems" & grains -- It was the "quacks" who came out against the FDAs food pyramid -- It was the "quacks" who started recommend stuff like HIIT instead of just "cardio" -- It was the "quacks" who came out against the mainstream pseudoscience of "eating saturated fat put fats into your arteries" -- It was the "quacks" who came out against the industrial agricultural practices that produce food with a worse nutrient-to-$ profile than the previous farming practices -- It was a "quack" who simply noted that his autistic patients had mucus in their stool and other gut issues (and got fired & ridiculed for it)... Thereby starting a larger investigation into how injecting adjuvants, heavy metals, food proteins, and molecular signatures of pathogens into infants might actually cause adverse effects...
