This interview sprawls and loses focus. Beaudoin talks about himself too much. He has done good work and has very good info on kidney failure and other perverse hospital incentives, but you have to jump around to find it. He would do well to greatly reduce material about himself and stick to his research findings in a brief and well-organized way. I mean this as friendly constructive criticism and definitely do not want to discourage him from the excellent work he has been doing. Most of us are not watching videos like this for the speakers personalities but for the information they have uncovered. ABN
Let’s drop the Jr. Good short message from Jillian Michaels. RFK takes testosterone, not sure how healthy that is. Still like him and support his plans. ABN
I personally am not an absolutist on abortion. Ultimately it is the woman’s decision and we must have compassion for anyone making this decision. I do not believe abortion should be taken lightly or celebrated. Fathers should have a say, but, again, ultimately it is the woman who bears the child. As of today, I support IVF with full realization that many small embryos are killed with this procedure. I can also see a day when selective IVF coupled with gene manipulations and stem cell derived gametes will lead to a much healthier and more intelligent human race. When the many choices involved in IVF today and in future are left entirely in the hands of would-be parents, I see more benefit than harm. That said, I remain open on all facets of these questions and am willing to change my views if convinced otherwise. ABN
In a previous article I showed why, when used alone, thyroid hormone replacement often fails. In this post I’ll explain why optimizing your iodine intake is so crucial, and why both too little and too much iodine can be harmful.
Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide. Once researchers realized this, health authorities around the world began adding iodine to table salt.
This strategy was effective in correcting iodine deficiency. But it had an unanticipated—and undesired—effect. In countries where iodine has been added to table salt, the rates of autoimmune thyroid disease have risen. The following is just a sample of studies around the world demonstrating this effect:
Why does this happen? Because increased iodine intake, especially in supplement form, can increase the autoimmune attack on the thyroid. Iodine reduces the activity of an enzyme called thyroid peroxidase (TPO). TPO is required for proper thyroid hormone production.
On the other hand, restricting intake of iodine can reverse hypothyroidism. In one study, 78% of patients with Hashimoto’s regained normal thyroid function with iodine restriction alone.
I’m a 31F mental health therapist specializing in asian american suicide. I’m about to present to my state’s suicide council to advocate for more awareness into the tiger parenting dynamic that causes suicide as someone who attempted when I was 16. I’m currently trying to gather research from the heads of my field (the American Psychological Association) and i. am. pissed. Every research article published by Asian American psychologists says the root cause of AA mental health is… racism by white people. They talk about white people causing the model minority pressure. WTF?! That pressure doesn’t come from THEM! It comes from our parents!
Yes we experience racism. But that is not the core of our issues as Asian American kids. Also mind you, when I was in school for my BA degree in psych (2011-2015) the research papers and articles I had to study in school NEVER used the asian demographic in their studies! it was always blacks and latinos! and now that we have representation its fucking skewed and not representative of what we actually go through. it was so invalidating and infuriating to read.
This is ripple effect of what happened in 2011 when Amy Chua came out with her book and outted the concept of tiger parenting. For the first time someone named what we were all going through. And we had something out there we can grab hold of and DO something about it.
But what did the Asian American community do instead?
They. rejected. it. They did the whole NoT eVeRy AsIAn. They made it a SIN to talk about the very real shit that is posted on here every single day. They hid our struggles because the optics looked so bad. They did the exact problem that’s causing problems in our community: shut up and keep quiet. I couldn’t fucking believe the backlash. I and so many other Asian American kids tried killing ourselves because of this tiger parenting shit. I’m a fucking therapist specializing in suicide for Asian Americans because no therapist in my 20 years of trying to get help for this problem know what the fuck to do.
I’m so livid. I’m out here specializing in AA suicide, about to talk to my state council and trying to find facts and research to justify more money into the nuances of asian american mental health and our own people are hurting us.
Just had to rant and get it off my chest. Now off work on my presentation and do better than these wimps.
Yesterday, someone shared your Twitter post with me. I have also read some of the responses to it. I imagine yesterday was a very difficult day for you, especially given the concerns for your mother.
I find it hard to imagine what it must be like to spend four years deep in one belief system and then suddenly, and horribly, have your eyes open to the fact that you may have been deceived.
I will take you through the scientific evidence for why what happened to your mother was related to her covid vaccines and not to “asymptomatic covid”. You said you only want peer reviewed evidence so you can check funding sources etc. Let me reassure you that funding concerns are all in one direction through pharma sponsorship (see editors of NEJM and Lancet) and no money comes to those who are raising concerns.
I am not sure how accurate this chart is but it is probably decent ballpark. I also do not know what kind of fast it refers to. I typically drink some juice, organic beet seems best, but many people do only water. If you do fast, be sure to break it slowly and carefully with mild healthy foods you are well used to. ABN
