Wernicke's Encephalopathy Following Semaglutide Treatment for Obesity
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oby.70256
"Six cases were identified. All patients experienced prolonged gastrointestinal symptoms and substantial weight loss before neurological deterioration. Common manifestations included altered mental status and oculomotor abnormalities. Outcomes were poor in several cases, including progression to Korsakoff syndrome or death"
-->this condition is a malnourishment condition from
thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency most often seen chronic alcoholics
anyone on these meds needs nutritional guidance but unfortunately they are often given out as lifestyle meds.

i've helped a lot of people on GLP-1s transition off by micro dosing and choosing a real food animal based diet. with micro doses the appetite suppression is subtle so you have to create an environment for habit formation.
micro doses create less side effects but give some GLP related help. It's like using elastic bands to do your first pull up until you can successfully do it yourself against gravity.

the common rebuttals to this type of logic is "body fluids from ebola patients is obviously contagious so it must be a virus"
i agree it is a deadly disease... but we also know that a malnourished human secretes millions of malformed fragments of dna and rna in their secretions and these fragments when ingested cause disease.
this is why astronauts with no virus around get sick
this is why illness emerges when people in groups are quarantined
this is why cities have outbreaks but we don't see events in the country side
large groups of people shed malformed fragments of genetic material onto each other and that can cause disease.
but what caused the disease host in the first place.... my bet is on toxic environmental exposure

the ebola reservoir is often described as a consequence of latent virus in fruit bats crossing over to human infectivity
https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/advance-article/doi/10.1093/biosci/biaf050/8116758
Fruit bats live across Africa, Asia, and Oceania, meaning:
"The presence of these animals alone does not explain Ebola outbreaks"
the one thing that ebola outbreaks all have in common: heavy industry and mineral mining
DRC: Major global producer of cobalt, copper, diamonds, gold; outbreaks have occurred in/near mining areas (e.g., gold mining villages).
Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone: Significant iron ore, gold, diamonds, bauxite; mining was impacted but continued during the 2014–2016 outbreak.
Gabon, Republic of the Congo: Oil, manganese, gold, timber-related extraction; historical gold-mining camp outbreaks.
Uganda: Gold, copper mining.
South Sudan: Gold, copper, iron ore, limestone
Ivory Coast: Gold (major producer), diamonds, manganese, bauxite, nickel
Every single place that has experienced an “Ebola” outbreak is also an area of heavy mining and exploitation of raw earth materials
All of these metal extractive processes share arsenic use and release in common. The symptoms of arsenic poisoning include every sign and symptom present in "ebola"
I think it is very likely that if arsenic levels were routinely tested in ebola patients, a strong correlation would begin to emerge.

imagine if you could create particles that serve as the foundational visual evidence of ebola in a sterile starved culture medium that certainly doesn't contain Ebola.
without control samples, virologists can be easily trick themselves into thinking a virus is causing a disease rather than a diseased host producing malformed cytoplasmic vesicles that we think are viruses.

the elusive ebola virus probably originates within us and when in a severe malnutritional state the body excretes these very malformed genetic particles in bodily fluid and those particles can harm others

i think it is good during these outbreaks of scary "viral" diseases to ask the uncomfortable question, where does this ebola virus hide in between events?
https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/advance-article/doi/10.1093/biosci/biaf050/8116758
if it is always present in the environment as a viral particle, why are there not continuous ebola events?

people are getting sick... and when sick they produce fragments that overlap from their sick cells
how they got sick is the real question and was it exposure to poor sanitation or a self replicating viral genome? (that's what i am asking)

2026-05-11 17:33:53 UTC

for anyone concerned about hantavirus (andes variant) here is what is actually happening:
people are getting sick with similar symptoms and when we sequence a mixture of their their genes plus tissue that supposedly has the virus, we see similar genetic sequences.
we extrapolate that there is a full viral genome in that sample but it is all just guess work inference.
1. starting material is a mixture of viral fragments and host material
2. there is no well person sampled as a control just sick people
3. they are not reading one full virus molecule from start to finish they take fragments, without directly knowing their full molecular origin, broke those reads into even smaller overlapping substrings called k-mers, and used those k-mers to reconstruct a longer sequence.
4. none of it proves the existence of a full sample in the mixture taken from a patient.
5. reconstructed genome is not the same thing as a directly observed complete viral molecule.

The cohort was 81,714 postmenopausal women aged 50–79 from the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study, with a mean follow-up of 11.9 years
Compared with women drinking fewer than 1 such beverage per week, those consuming 2+ artificially sweetened drinks per day had a 23% higher risk of any stroke and a 31% higher risk of ischemic stroke from clotting in small brain blood vessels
They were also 29% more likely to develop coronary heart disease and had 16% all cause mortality
this is an observational study so it is very possible that people drinking diet soda have some other confounder in common causing these issue or it is the ingredients in the soda....

it's very easy to have open claw act as your real estate agent.
all housing listings are public and can be crawled from listing sites.
You give the bot your criteria for a house -- you give it a price range and you even give it some other information you want such as geography, close to parks, trails brick vs stone materials, school district etc etc.
I find the real utility of claw happens when you give your bot an email account (don't use Gmail. they are very aggressive at blocking bots)
Instruct your bot to also dig up historic pricing and comparable sales in the same zip so you get real market pricing. The bot should get the listing agent contact for each house and then send you an email weekly with its research.
Call the listing agent to schedule a walkthrough, then as you navigate the buying process use your bot so you can learn when you need to do each part of the buying process and make offers with market research backing your offer.
bye bye real estate agent fee of 3-6%

your colon cancer risk (and probabaly other cancer risks) are a product of your microbiome diversity https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/86/7_Supplement/3993/779640/Abstract-3993-Artificial-intelligence-integrated. sticking with my thesis that we create cancer not through our genetic risk but from the environmental impact on our genetics.
Colorectal cancer rates in adults under 50 have been rising about 3% per year
High-fructose corn syrup and pesticides disrupt the gut microbiome
When fructose (especially high high-fructose corn syrup intake) exceeds what the small intestine can absorb (roughly a daily soda’s worth), fructose spills into the colon
Glyphosate and related agricultural chemicals act like low-dose antibiotics on gut bacteria. They preferentially knock out protective species (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) while sparing pro-inflammatory ones, reducing production of butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids that normally protect the colon lining.
Human genetics haven’t changed in 30 years, but the microbiome of someone born in 1990 has been marinating in fructose and pesticide residue since infancy in a way someone born in 1950 never was. If the microbiome is the mediator between modern exposures and tumor biology (as this study suggests) it helps explain why a cancer that used to belong to grandparents is now showing up in their grandchildren.

"Insulin resistance" is one of the most used terms in medicine and also one of the least precise
When we say "insulin resistance," we're treating it like a single thing.
Insulin does dozens of things in your body. In any given tissue, some insulin-signaling pathways can be impaired while others remain intact.
In the liver: hyperinsulinemia drives lipogenesis (making fat) while simultaneously failing to suppress gluconeogenesis (making glucose).
The same hormone in the same organ creates two dysfunctional outcomes.
In skeletal muscle when fat builds up inside the muscle cells this then blocks the signal insulin uses to tell your muscles ", take in this sugar from the blood." This happens before liver dysfunction
In your fat tissue, the problem is basically chronic, low-grade inflammation. When fat cells get overloaded, your immune system treats them almost like an injury and prevents insulin from appropriately releasing fat. Fat cells keep storing sugars as fat but slowly leak the fatty acids back out into the blood even when insulin is high.
In the brain, when insulin reaches neurons, it helps tell your brain:
"You've eaten you can stop feeling hungry now". The hypothalamus controls this and still gets the signal but can't pass it along properly due to PI3K signaling impairment.
In all cases, insulin is the messenger molecule and still gets to its destination properly but all other mechanisms that originate from the insulin signal become dysfunctional.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10903330/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24281010/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22385956/
Modern medicine only treats insulin resistance as a way to control blood sugar and ignore all the other organs which are affected due to their chronically inflamed and dysfunctional state.

our genetics are very stable. we don't produce mutants and evolve into new species rapidly.
if you see a disease like cancer incidence increasing it isn't because of genetics. people frequently say they just got unlucky when they get cancer.
we give ourselves cancer.
cancer grows in metabolic dysfunction. we eat ourselves into cancer. we sit ourselves into cancer. we hide inside the caves of our house into cancer.
for most cancers, unfortunately we only have ourselves to blame and that is incredibly uncomfortable to think about and why we spend so much time and money finding molecular markers for malignancy that get turned on during our times of metabolic dysfunction.

you've probably had your HDL cholesterol measured. your doctor told you higher is better. 60, 70, 80 — good numbers.
here's the problem: HDL cholesterol concentration is a poor proxy for HDL function.
HDL's job is reverse cholesterol transport — pulling cholesterol out of peripheral tissues and delivering it to the liver for excretion. That's the cardioprotective mechanism. But a high HDL-C number doesn't tell you whether your HDL is actually functioning.
Oxidation to apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I), HDL's main protein, impairs its ability to interact with cholesterol transporters (ABCA1, ABCG1).
Dysfunctional HDL can actually promote atherosclerosis.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11432852/
the studies bear this out: raising HDL-C with drugs doesn't reduce cardiovascular events. torcetrapib raised HDL-C significantly and increased mortality. niacin raises HDL-C but adds no cardiovascular benefit. because the number went up but the function didn't.
the emerging measurement is cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) — how well does your HDL actually pull cholesterol out of cells? that predicts cardiovascular risk better than the raw number.
The same thing destroying the body: oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance are the same things impairing HDL function
if your HDL is 70 but you're metabolically inflamed, your HDL number is meaningless. more useful is you pCEC score (predicted cholesterol efflux capacity)

Your cells have an energy sensor called AMPK. When it's active, you burn fuel efficiently. When it's suppressed, you store fat and your liver pumps out glucose.
Uric acid suppresses AMPK. That means elevated uric acid isn't just a byproduct of metabolic disease — it may be driving it.
This is why high fructose corn syrup and fructose added into foods are uniquely damaging. Unlike glucose, which is metabolized in a tightly regulated way, fructose is processed by the liver roughly 10x faster, with no feedback controls slowing it down.
That rapid metabolism burns through ATP so quickly that the leftover byproducts get converted into uric acid. Worse, the uric acid then amplifies fructokinase — the very enzyme that processes fructose — creating a vicious cycle where each dose sensitizes your liver to the next one.
So the chain is: high fructose corn syrup → ATP depletion → uric acid → AMPK suppressed → insulin resistance, fat storage, and excess glucose production.
The problem was never the sugar per se. It's the uric acid it leaves behind.

there are countless reports of people not burning at all or very little when cutting seed oils out of their diet. how could this be?
my hypothesis:
Linoleic acid (the main fatty acid in seed oils) is bacteriostatic and bactericidal (deadly) to small intestinal lactobacillus
https://elifesciences.org/articles/32581
Lactobacillus johnsonii helps stabilize the skin’s resilience to UV damage
https://jddonline.com/articles/exploring-gut-microbiomes-role-in-drug-induced-photosensitivity-need-deeper-investigation-S1545961625P8844X/
so if disruption of gut flora by excessive pufa and linoleic acid causes a loss of the gut's protective effects on the skin, then seed oils could very well contribute to ease of sunburning

your body needs cholesterol for cellular health and there is an inverse relationship with cancer and low ldl.
more cancer incidence with low ldl

imagine there was an environmental thing where
intermittent exposure increased cancer risk but continuous exposure was not associated (and maybe inversely associated) with cancer risk.
what would you conclude? that you should avoid it or spend as much time around it as possible?
that thing is sun

if you have a ton of data, personal or business there is no reason you don't build your own RAG system. it is very very cheap and gives you universal personal search.

if you want to have the motivation to find truth there is no greater impetus than being frustrated with no knowing a video is true or false...sounds like great motivation for a creative solution

feynman on new ideas:
you may feel overwhelmed and just want some peace to sit and come up with something wonderful...but there's a better chance that the stress and chaos is what you need for your good idea to take shape
best way to get that chaos and questioning everyday is to just have some kids. soon you will have more ideas than you have time.

The only problem with peer review is the fact almost all studies keep their raw data private --the peer reviewers rarely see the data and when the study is published, the data remains private.
there's no need for peer review if every study just publishes raw data -- then anyone can evaluate whenever they want

looks like this. if each item within the block was the item headline would be nicer in an rss reader so i could just click on the news item directly as a feed entry

news articles need individual rss headlines for ease of scrolling through headlines in an rss reader so you can click on only those of interest. right now everything in a block headline.
