Please do not fall for this scam - IV Vitamin therapy. It is more of an "elitist" thing to do, rather than actual scientific recommendation. IV Vitamin therapy is not only useless, but expensive and potentially dangerous. There is no scientific evidence to back the claims of IV Vitamin therapy - if you are lucky, it results in only making expensive urine. The claims in this video are pure unadulterated bullshit. IV Vitamin therapy hydrates - consuming water also hydrates. A person requires IV hydration if oral hydration is not possible in the event of severe illness that incapacitates them from oral intake - such as severe vomiting and diarrhea, hypovolemic shock, a brain disease or other serious acute or chronic disabling illness. IV Vitamin therapy does not boost immunity - in fact, all the vitamins that are pumped into your body feels like they've visited a water theme park and came out in the urine as they entered. It is just a ticketed roller-coaster ride for the vitamins. The whole aspect of "boosting immunity" is a wellness marketing fraud aimed at making peoples wallets lighter and bank balance redundant. IV Vitamin therapy flushes out toxins - no they don't. Your skin, lung, liver and kidneys are working 24x7 doing just that. Putting additional vitamins and fluids into your body through an IV drip only makes them overwork for nothing. IV Vitamin therapy does not guarantee vitamin absorption. In fact, there is a limit for the body to absorb vitamins and minerals which is already going in as part of the daily diet. Anything additional given, just makes the body throw it out in the urine - which means IV drip therapies only makes your body work additionally to make expensive pee. IV Vitamin therapy does not improve skin health. It causes transient hydration which you pee out later on and "skin health" is dependent on multiple factors, all of which is not covered by a useless IV drip. The most common "cocktail" used is the Myer's Drip discovered in the 1970s (!!!) which was proven to be useless in decades old study - and not further studies on safety or effectiveness have been conducted. People who experience "benefits or improvement" from IV Vitamin therapy feel so because of a psychological reinforcement and confirmation bias and a self consolation prize because they spend huge sums of money to make expensive pee. Not to forget, supermodel Kendall Jenner had to be admitted to the hospital after she developed a severe reaction to IV drip therapy - Read: Kendall Jenner Was Hospitalized After a Bad Reaction to a Vitamin IV Drip — What are the Risks? - Isn't IV Vitamin therapy so cool? No it is not. It only makes the person taking it look like an apparently rich dunce. dunce /dʌns/ noun a person who is slow at learning; a stupid person.

Do you remember the case of the 'frozen addict' from recreational drug use (MPTP). Is there a 'new frozen addict syndrome' caused by methcathione (ephedrone). YES. This psychostimulant leads to release of brain catecholamines. Check out this case and video by Thayler and Gurevitch which responded to amantadine and check out the link to manganese. Key points: - Methcathione (ephedrone) can be used as a recreational drug and use has been documented in Eastern Europe and other world locations. - This chemical is synthesized by oxidation of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine w/potassium permanganate. - It is usually given IV and the 'parkinsonism' is thought to be caused by manganese. - It is unlike the MPTP frozen addict as in this case levodopa does not work to treat. - The authors point out that the syndrome tends to be more symmetrical than in idiopathic PD; the clinician should look for bradykinesia, dystonia, and gait impairment. - Check out this 41 year old case w/ a normal flurodopa PET and an abnormal MRI. - He was treated with a 5-day course of IV amantadine followed by oral amantadine. My take: It is humbling to think about the history of a recreational drug which provided one of our best overall animal models of PD (the MPTP model). Now we are observing another form of recreational drug induced parkinsonism, and this one seems to be related to manganese. It is interesting in this case to observe the response to IV and oral amantadine; which as a therapy has multiple mechanisms of action including on dopamine, acetlycholine and glutamate pathways. In the USA, we have not used IV amantadine so this will be a new trick for us. One important aspect of this case was that the clinicians resisted the urge to 'dismiss the person' as an addict or as functional case. Similar to Bill Langston's experience with the MPTP frozen addict, these authors persisted, made the diagnosis and designed and implemented a treatment. BRAVO. Remember, we will all (one day) come down with a disease or diseases and Fortuna est caeca; Fortune is blind. #Parkinsons #manganese #methcathione #ephedrone

implied volatility is a price. realized volatility is what actually happens. the gap between them is one of the most durable edges in markets the chart in that clip is the whole story each dot is a day: what options priced in (IV) versus what the market actually delivered over the next 30 days (RV) the regression line has a negative slope and sits below the diagonal that isn't noise. it's the variance risk premium VRP = IV − RV on average, across decades, implied vol prints higher than the volatility that follows options are, structurally, priced for more movement than actually shows up the reason isn't a mistake. it's insurance whoever sells an option is underwriting risk, the same way an insurer underwrites a house fire they demand a premium above fair value to carry that risk, and buyers pay it because they want protection so the seller of volatility is the insurance company and insurance companies, on average, win. not every policy. on average, over a large book that's the edge retail never sees because retail is almost always the buyer buying calls, buying puts, paying the premium, standing on the losing side of a spread that is baked into the price before the trade even opens on the clip's data: IV was 10.95%, the realized vol that followed was higher on that specific day that's the risk. VRP is positive on average, not always. sometimes RV blows past IV and the seller takes the loss which is exactly why it's a premium and not free money you get paid to hold a risk that occasionally hurts. the edge is that the payment, over enough independent bets, exceeds the damage a desk harvests this systematically: sell the overpriced vol, hedge the direction, collect the spread, size so no single blowup ends the book retail buys the lottery ticket on the other side and wonders why theta bleeds it dry the data is public. IV comes off the options chain, RV is just the standard deviation of returns compute both, subtract, and the premium is right there on a chart you can build in an afternoon the number was never hidden retail was just standing on the paying side of it the whole time full breakdown in the article below
