I'm concerned there is a major error or flaw we haven't discovered yet, perhaps with data handling or analysis. There are red flags that suggest lack of rigor. If this preparation were available & cheap & devoid of side effects, I'd say "sure, why not" - but they aren't. Though I'd not be dogmatic.

Thanks, the point of this post was not the tests. It's the role of medical podcasters and influencers and how they affect medical relationships. Selective and misapplied evidence was but one paragraph. My substack covers the other topics in much more detail: substack.com/@jamesstein18

When you stop using X then open it back up after a while, you realize how obviously it’s designed to elevate vicious jerks who share Musk and Trump’s cruelest, dumbest beliefs. Harder to see when you’re addicted to it; blazingly apparent from the outside looking in.
