Purslane is loaded with oxalate—increasing risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones. When grown on soil contaminated with lead or cadmium, purslane is loaded with lead or cadmium. Purslane is not a superfood.

Many patients undereat on a keto diet. They lose weight but feel ill. The solution may be to increase dietary fat: DOI 10.1370/afm.2968 Some patients on every–day food restriction also lose weight but feel ill. The solution may be 4:3 day fasting: DOI 10.7326/ANNALS-24-01631

The non-proteinogenic amino acids (NPAAs) have important health effects as well. The science on the importance of NPAAs in human health has been attacked by antihuman vegan ideologues who deny that humans evolved over millions of years to eat animal fat and meat.

Nutritional labels on foods are too hard to understand. I’m here to help by giving you a simple algorithm you can use to guide you on nutrition labels: If a food has a nutrition label then don’t eat it.

Almost all who try a vegan diet quit within 1 year. Of the few who claim to have followed a long-term vegan diet, most are lying. Many of the few true believer vegans have serious medical illness as a consequence of their long-term 100% plant-based diet. Plants are famine food.

Wise words. I favor long-term small clinical trials with extensive measurement of attributes, exposures & effects. Done properly, even N-of-1 trials generate testable hypotheses.

Just found this photo from my very first Healer Cup… can’t believe it’s been 25 years! I barely recognize myself… such a fresh face! Time flies when you’re changing lives.

Many vaccines have not been tested in RCTs. The optimal course varies according to vaccine & cohort. Real scientists are ready to do some real science on vaccine safety & efficacy. I expect taxpayers will get the research results needed to guide our spending on world health.

Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto Medical research in the US is failing. We need ruthless pruning of wokeness, cronyism, corruption & idiocracy across the entire research enterprise. At least 75% of all investigators need to be retired. Then, build back better.

A 2002 Institute of Medicine’s report concludes that, between 1955–1963, 30% of polio vaccines were contaminated with Simian Virus 40 (SV40). Induction of cancer by these contaminated vaccines is plausible, though quality of studies was poor & the risk was low. DOI 10.17226/10534

Ideological capture in psychology needs to be top of mind for ⁦Elon Musk⁩ before he employs Grok 4's "not a therapist." Hope this is a redundant message to him, but you never know.
