A very small shark bit my arm – Part 3
Continued from Part 2 This is typed up stuff from my journal. It took a week of voice dictation bumblings before I remembered… hey, you have one good hand and a selection of PENS! Waiting – Week 2 If you tell people you’re sensitive to the sun they kind of roll their eyes as though you said, my cat can only eat filet mignon. But I promise it’s no exaggeration to say that I burn extremely easily. The sun glares down over Australia with special kind of harshness. That is no country for Fitzpatrick Type 1′s. During the Oz visit last April, each time I stepped outside it felt like my skin had c...

Nina Teicholz’s Surprise: Fat is good for you
Investigative journalist Nina Teicholz’s new book, The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, is now available. Nina’s eat-the-fat message fits like hand-in-glove with the Wheat Belly lifestyle. You will especially find her chronology of the historical blunders made along the way to the “low saturated fat for heart health” advice enlightening and liberating. It was, as she discusses, the low total fat and saturated fat mistakes that led us down this more “healthy whole grain” detour, the worst nutritional misjudgements ever made on a worldwide scale. I a...

Fat people and feeding tubes.
This isn’t a post I like to write.  The idea to write it always comes after someone, who is not communicating with me in good faith, approaches me and makes snide remarks about how I can possibly need a feeding tube if I’m fat.  Except they usually go beyond calling me fat.  They usually make some reference to my weight that makes it sound like I’m unusually fat, just to make things worse.  In one case, a known repeat cyber-bully (he has made threatening phone calls to a friend of mine — if I’d recognized him on sight I’d have deleted his comment unread) even told me he’d lost...

On the hazards of significance testing. Part 2: the false discovery rate, or how not to make a fool of yourself with P values
What follows is a simplified version of part of a paper that will shortly be submitted. If you find anything wrong, or obscure, please email me. Be vicious: it will improve the eventual paper. It’s a follow-up to my very first paper, which was written in 1959 – 60, while I was a fourth year undergraduate.(the history is in a recent blog). I hope this one is better. ‘". . . before anything was known of Lydgate’s skill, the judgements on it had naturally been divided, depending on a sense of likelihood, situated perhaps in the pit of the stomach, or in the pineal gland, and differing in its ver...

Residual fear after a cancer diagnosis
I went to see my oncologist for my six-month checkup yesterday. All was routine, other than my blood pressure being 131 over something when it’s usually in the 115 range, even when I see my family doctor. No anxiety there. When he asked what had changed in the last six months, I told him about the endoscopy I had in December, which turned out to be normal. But what prompted it is something anyone who’s had cancer faces whether you want to admit it or not (and I usually don’t) — fear. I was having stomach discomfort that went beyond what over-the-counter drugs could handle. I finally got worried eno...

Blaming Obamacare is the wrong diagnosis
The Wall Street Journal began the week by publishing a provocative essay in which a young man suggested Obamacare kept his mother from getting appropriate medicine for her cancer. The writer crafted a poignant story about his mother, who sounds like a good person with a bad disease. Mainstream media buzzes with these types of stories. The Obamacare-is-the-problem narrative fits quite well on conservative news outlets. The problem, as it so often is, is in the details. The story here begins with a familiar first chapter: the writer’s mother had good insurance coverage but then it was cancelled. Next came her struggle...

Pain | VQR Online
My father was never one to complain. On the morning of the day he died, an ulcer he'd suffered from for years, and left untreated, ruptured and began to bleed. Two days later I met with the town coroner. He told me the end had been painless, that, as his life leached away, my father would only have felt increasingly weak and light-​headed. The coroner, trying to make me feel better, was lying. By any other account, when an ulcer perforates and blood, bile, bacteria, and partially digested food begin to spill into the abdominal cavity, you feel as if a knife has just been buried in your guts. You might faint. You migh...

Kelly’s Cervical Cancer Journey
Below are experts from Kelly, author and creator of the blog My Cervical Cancer Journey. In her blog, she details her fight with cervical cancer from 2010 to the present.   My name is Kelly and I was diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 2 in May 2010.  I had no idea what I was in for!  You hear the word cancer and you have two choices:  curl up in a ball or you fight.  I am not a doctor but want to share my story from the patient point of view to help others. I was 41 years old at the time of the diagnoses.  I am a single mother of triplets.  I was scared.  My symptoms were constant bleeding.  During the same tim...

Korea Develops First Cancer-treating Nanorobot
I mentioned in my recent white paper, The Guide to the Future of Medicine, how nanotechnology could be used in medicine. Medicine today is based on interventions after the diagnosis is given. What if nanorobots in the bloodstream could intervene even before the disease appears? Nanorobots called respirocytes could be used to keep a patient’s tissues safely oxygenated for up to about four hours after the patient had a heart attack; or serve as white blood cells; remove platelets or repair damaged cells. The opportunities are almost limitless. Moving it to the next level, modules that self-assemble inside the stomach could...

Anabolic Steroids like Trenbolone
In the last few decades, the focus of a big majority of athletes has shifted towards performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids. The fact that these bodybuilding steroids or anabolic androgenic steroids can dramatically improve the level of on-field performance, strength, muscle mass, and endurance means that there is every reason that athletes admire these drugs. Different athletes make use of different anabolic steroids for a wide range of purposes. While some use steroids to run faster and become more agile than ever, some use these potent drugs to hit harder and stay ahead of the competition, while others us...

Climb or DIE
9:51 a.m.: I don’t feel like rock-climbing, but I had spent hours planning the event under the email subject “Climb or DIE” so I have no choice. After waking, I sip my protein shake and as much water as my wretched stomach allows. Our noon climb 30 minutes away in Golden, Colorado, isn’t nearly accommodating to recover from the Great American Beer Festival. I still must: Wake Pumba next door Get Pumba ready to climb Get Pumba ready to drive Get Pumba to pick up the rope Get Pumba to pick up quick draws from McScuses Get Pumba to pick up our other friend, Princess 10:26 a.m.: I email Princess, “Do you know McSte...
