This is the second study showing vitamin C is depleted in covid patients: https://ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13054-02...

Obviously I am saying the standard explanation is the one with the causality backwards.

> Figure3 shows plasma levels following a 36g dose of liposomal vitamin C, for both subjects. This resulted in peak plasma levels, in the region of 400mML21. A 95% interfractile ra…

It's interesting that a side effect of pretty much every treatment for cancer is nausea, weight loss, etc. Almost like reduced nutrient absorption is the main mechanism by which th…

You could say that about every preclinical or clinical trial. If no one good at promotion had an interest in the treatment it would never get funded. Most treatments studied are pa…

Thanks, not what I was thinking it sounds like.

From my reading, they would say some particles are just much more energetic than usual (for some reason we are ignorant of). See the post above about flipping a coin. According to …

Sounds like the wave model describes the statistical properties of a population of photons. Eg, a coin flip is deterministic if you know all the forces involved (airflow, force of …

But who is going to go to a doctor/hospital for the flu when they are scared of catching sars2 there?

Makes some sense, but that got me wondering if medical guidelines are going to start getting updates every few weeks like web browsers do.

First, check the warburg hypothesis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_hypothesis Cancer cells rely much more on glycolysis than oxidative phosphorylation (respiration, basic…

I met someone who went for a checkup and they convinced him to get a screening colonoscopy. It was clear but a few months later he started having problems and went back. Then they …

> You keep attaching a lot of Pubmed links, but frankly, in this case at least, they aren't all that compelling and don't even begin to approach a scientific consensus. Which of th…

2017 is a bit dated?

You think there is no consensus that skin cancer rates are skyrocketing?

There was no confusion of correlation and causation in my post. It is a clearly stated correlation. Broad spectrum sunblock may be less than perfect, but until recently all sunbloc…

If I'm reading this right it looks like 3 yr survival was 30-50% in high risk melanoma patients in the late 1960s to early 1970s: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13443…

Thanks, do you have one for melanoma in mind for comparison to that study when you say "used to be lethal".

I see, it should have been written "screening-detected" to be as clear as possible. Yes, the latter is more likely to be comparable over time but it will still have issues with cha…

Please provide sources so we can see where these numbers are coming from.
