If you're testing for microplastics in blood, use a metal lancet. Plastic tools compromise the data and make it nearly impossible to measure baseline exposure. My team compared two samples taken via different tools. Here’s what we found: Blood via plastic lancet: 42 particles,

More than 100,000 Americans are killed every year by properly prescribed prescription drugs, making them the 4th leading cause of death.

#woman respond differently to aortic stenosis. Expect less calcium and more fibrosis in their valves, lower trans aortic gradients, more LVH and higher LVEF. This difference might lead to delay in therapy and irreversible myocardial damage RTHahnMD Cardiovascular Research Foundation #NYValves2025

📢New Algorithm for Estimating LV Filling Pressure by Echo: 🔴increase in the number of patients in whom LV filling pressure can be estimated 🟢only 2 cases of indeterminate LV filling pressure and the majority had a definitive LV filling pattern ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. 🧬 Beautiful to see the tide shifting. The “Sunshine Cure” isn’t new—but it is newly measurable. Sunlight doesn’t just trigger vitamin D. It entrains charge, structure, and coherence. • NIR light thickens EZ water. • UV light activates aromatic amino acids. • Circadian light
