I'm a big fan of Attia and familiar with his work. That's fair that excess calories is among the major contributors to Healthcare and addressing that would probably be among the largest impact items we ought to tackle. I wonder

Whenever I come across folk with hEDS-like symptoms, I always like to bring up fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics, as a "btw do you know about this?" I have a suspicion that some non-trivial amount of the non-genetic EDS folks may s

I don't think hypochondria is the problem as much as there is a degradation in the overall health of the population and they do feel unwell, but the system is unable to diagnose them because they aren't "bad" by any quan

I had a conversation with my friend. "Look at this new, incredible CPU cooler tech! It's sooo good at removing heat." "What if you didn't generate the heat in the first place?" Personally, I have a hypothesis

A big challenge is that most doctors can't operate outside of the most common conditions and differential diagnoses of their specialty and have to punt patients. Of course, to the doctor's defense, patients are not an easy populat

As someone also in a similar position to you, I think the challenge for the non-medical community is that medicine/health frames things in terms of some entity, instead of failures in a systemic set of interconnected processes. "I

100%. There is already some compelling anecdata that warrants studying. Rat park is one, and the doctor who prescribed heroin in the 60s is another. The jist of it was that addicts stopped abusing when there was something better to live for

Beyond meds and various coping skills that may be taught via therapy or advice on the internet, I have a nutritional approach that I found to be helpful as an adjuvant to meds. Meds like adderall or provigil tend to be demanding on the bra

Non-Allopathic in my case means we’re not dealing with the traditional US medical system. We’re not engaged in homeopathy (microdosing random molecules) at all. Perhaps what we are doing is still considered allopathic (most strategies are i

This is a random reply to a different comment Aerbil313 made for their benefit as their email in hackernews seems expired. ---- I have a family member suffering from multiple exposures to fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics. While the research

What's the best way to solve the engineering issue of high load on any given system? Reduce or eliminate the load. Of course insurance will reduce their load with tactics such as deny, deny. But systemically, there's a better, go

Just because his family is wealthy does not mean that his mother was financially supported for her healthcare. It's quite possible that the family patriarch held the purse strings and deemed that health insurance was the line for thei

The problem with tribal (political) identities is that to hold independent and opposing tribal ideologies (ie pro-choice but also pro-gun) is isolating from all groups. Thus, many people end up choosing to belong at the expense of the inco

The amount of conservative comments stating to the effect of, "today I learned that I'm a left winger." would say otherwise.

I'd imagine NYC to be worse than Miami. Miami seems to share enough similarity in warm weather to SF to be a similar enough use case to expand while providing slightly different driving conditions to be able to dip ones toes in to the

While insurance is absolutely a necessary component that needs fixing, I think we could do a far greater, aggregate good by addressing fundamental lifestyle issues. Having doctors in the family, and having been on my own personal health jou

The site might be up, but my twitter app, even though updated, has been busted for months. Though that could be that I’m on the iOS beta. I can’t even engage when I click on Twitter links cuz the whole link to app hijacking mechanism won’t

When the incentives aligned. Pretty sure during the 90+% tax rate era offered insane incentives to reinvest into the business and employees. I don't think we need to get rid of capitalism. The controls around capitalism like taxes, so

Just downloaded the new classic version with ads and wanted to pass along a suggestion that Thor makes. While I understand that you’ve gotta make a living, ads are far more palatable if the user can consent to them. And the way to make the

People want to be engaged with the work they believe in. Students or adults. Fundamentally, kids that are just trying to pass a class don't see the value in learning and it seems that the contributions towards the "pointless&quot

Basically, antibiotics are causal for leaky gut in mice. Pretty compelling findings and the ramifications are huge!

I buy them in packs of 3-5 on ebay for $5-10. (no need to buy the really expensive brands) They are quick to replace, have a nice oleophobic coating on them, and can be replaced as frequently as desired.

I can see where my mental heuristic is informed that most chargers are bunk, so I never buy chargers on Amazon unless they are Anker or straight from Apple. Cables I will gamble on though.

Same here, but presumably, I have a feeling that I have a pretty good ability for discernment. Thinking of all my non-technical and even technical coworkers that fall for the monthly corporate phishing exercises, there seems to be a non-tr

Honestly, the new, high quality Amazon is shopify. Makes for using independent store fronts a breeze because almost every checkout experience through shopify shares a common login and CC info.

A tax on owning too many properties would be subject to gaming. Many large companies already hold properties in tranches of 5-10m worth of properties per limited partnership, so the tax policy needs to be written carefully to disincentivize
