Hey #medtwitter! Today #Scientissimum would like to show you an incredible case of #cardiothoracic #surgery of pulmonary embolism that was originated in the lower extremity. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). Diagnosis is based on signs and symptoms in combination with test results. If the risk is low, a blood test known as a D-dimer may rule out the condition. Otherwise, a CT pulmonary angiography, lung ventilation/perfusion scan, or ultrasound of the legs may confirm the diagnosis. Did you know Pulmonary emboli affect about 430,000 people each year in Europe. In the United States, between 300,000 and 600,000 cases occur each year, which contribute to at least 40,000 deaths.🫀🫁 . #publichealth #saludpublica #cirurgia Video credit Dr.Erik Beyer text ref Wikipedia.

🫀 Detecting Diffuse Non-Calcified Coronary Atherosclerosis with Photon Counting CT: Seeing What Conventional CT Often Misses In coronary CTA, the hardest disease to detect is not focal stenosis. It’s diffuse, non-calcified atherosclerosis. No obvious narrowing. No calcium. Just subtle, continuous vessel wall involvement. This is where Photon-Counting CT (PCCT) changes the rules. 🧠 Why it’s difficult Diffuse non-calcified disease presents as: ✔️ Mild, long-segment wall thickening ✔️ Subtle attenuation differences vs lumen ✔️ Positive remodeling without clear stenosis With conventional CT: ✔️ Limited spatial resolution blurs the wall ✔️ Low contrast resolution hides soft plaque ✔️ Motion and noise mask continuity 👉 Result: disease is underestimated or missed ⚡ What PCCT enables ✔️ Ultra-high spatial resolution Clear visualization of the vessel wall along its entire course Detection of subtle, diffuse thickening ✔️ High iodine concentration (400 mg I/mL) Strong intraluminal signal Higher contrast between lumen and vessel wall Diffuse disease becomes visible as a pattern, not noise ✔️ High temporal resolution Reduced motion blur Stable assessment of long coronary segments ✔️ Spectral capability Cleaner iodine–tissue separation Additional confidence in identifying non-calcified plaque 🎯 The shift We move from: Detecting focal stenosis To: Recognizing diffuse atherosclerotic burden From: “Is there a blockage?” To: “How diseased is the artery overall?” Diffuse coronary disease is real. It has always been there. Now we can see it. That’s the power of Photon-Counting CT in coronary atherosclerosis. ⚡🫀 #PhotonCountingCT #PCCT #CoronaryCTA #Atherosclerosis #NonCalcifiedPlaque #PreventiveCardiology #CardiacCT #RadiologyInnovation #yesCCT

There’s been a lot of buzz—and confusion—about the new Keto-CTA study, examining plaque progression in Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs). Much of the social media debate has centered on whether high LDL on keto is safe or dangerous, driven largely by how to interpret the supplemental table comparing this study to others on LDL and plaque progression. In this episode of the Metabolic Mind Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Matthew Budoff, a world-renowned cardiologist, cardiac CT researcher, and the study's lead investigator, to discuss the the supplemental table, what the plaque markers mean, and how this fits into the discussion of high- vs -low-risk plaque progression. In this episode, we cover: ✅ What PAV (Percent Atheroma Volume) is, what it actually measures, and why it matters ✅ Why a 50% increase in plaque may sound scary, but can be deceiving ✅ The difference between “treatment-naive” and “treated” participants ✅ What the Miami Heart Study comparison reveals about keto, LDL, and plaque ✅ Why LDL alone may not tell the whole story about heart disease risk ✅ How some high-risk individuals may still benefit from statins and other therapies This study doesn’t answer whether keto causes heart disease or not. Instead, it shows that high LDL on a ketogenic diet is not a reliable predictor of plaque progression across all individuals. What is predictive? The presence of existing plaque. 💡 Key takeaway: Relying on surrogate markers of heart disease, like LDL and ApoB, is not the best way to assess heart disease risk in all populations. If you're concerned about how elevated LDL may be affecting your heart health, the best next step is to speak with your doctor about cardiac imaging to directly assess plaque and gain a clearer picture of your individual risk.

Humacyte is proud to announce that the FDA has granted full approval for Symvess™, a first-in-class, universally implantable, bioengineered human vessel for extremity vascular trauma replacement and repair. This approval is a significant milestone in regenerative medicine, offering a new treatment option for patients with severe arterial injuries. Congratulations to our incredible team and partners who made this possible! Learn more at See the Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning: INDICATION SYMVESS is an acellular tissue engineered vessel indicated for use in adults as a vascular conduit for extremity arterial injury when urgent revascularization is needed to avoid imminent limb loss, and autologous vein graft is not feasible. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BOXED WARNING: GRAFT FAILURE -Loss of SYMVESS integrity due to mid-graft rupture or anastomotic failure can result in life threatening hemorrhage. CONTRAINDICATIONS DO NOT use SYMVESS in patients who have a medical condition that would preclude long-term antiplatelet therapy (such as aspirin or clopidogrel) after resolution of acute injuries. WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS -Graft Rupture: Vascular graft rupture has occurred in patients treated with SYMVESS. Advise patients that arterial bleeding can be life-threatening and to seek emergent medical evaluation for any signs or symptoms of graft rupture such as bleeding, pain and swelling in the extremity, or signs of extremity ischemia. Follow appropriate procedures for handling and administering SYMVESS. -Anastomotic Failure: Anastomotic failure has occurred in patients treated with SYMVESS. In clinical studies of SYMVESS, anastomotic failure occurred within the first 36 days post-implantation. Monitor patients for signs of anastomotic failure such as pain and swelling at the surgical site, decreasing hemoglobin or other signs and symptoms of bleeding. Advise patients to seek urgent medical evaluation if they have any signs or symptoms that may be indicative of anastomotic failure such as bleeding, swelling or worsening pain at the surgical site or changes in color of overlying skin. Follow appropriate procedures for handling and administering SYMVESS. -Thrombosis: Thrombosis has occurred in patients treated with SYMVESS. In clinical trials of SYMVESS, patients received antiplatelet therapy following implantation of SYMVESS to reduce the risk of thrombosis. The risk of thrombosis may increase in patients who discontinue antiplatelet therapy. Anti-platelet therapy is recommended following treatment with SYMVESS. -Transmission of Infectious Diseases: SYMVESS is manufactured using cells and reagents that may transmit infectious diseases or infectious agents. The cells used in the manufacture of SYMVESS are derived from a donor who met the donor eligibility requirements for transmissible infectious diseases. Animal-derived reagents are tested for animal viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma before use, but this does not eliminate the risk of transmitting these or other transmissible infectious diseases and disease agents. No transmissible agent infections have been reported during clinical testing. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (≥3%) were thrombosis, fever, pain, anastomotic stenosis, rupture or anastomotic failure, and infection. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of SYMVESS in pediatric patients (0 to 17 years old) have not been established. Geriatric Use: Two patients out of the 54 Extremity Group implanted with SYMVESS as a conduit in Study 1 were aged ≥65 years. The number of patients aged ≥65 years was not sufficient to determine whether they responded differently than younger patients to SYMVESS. #Humacyte #FDAApproval #RegenerativeMedicine #Innovation #Biotech #Firstinclass $HUMA

This is Dr. Dimple Jangda. She makes us believe that she is an Ayurvedic practitioner. But the fact is that she is not a doctor. She is not even an Ayurvedic practitioner. She has no formal training in real medicine or pseudomedicine of Ayurveda. She was a television producer. Then an investment banker. Then a podcast host. And thereafter, a talk show host. She has a masters degree in business administration. She has a virtual online degree from National American University in (?)management which she claims is "honorary." She has a diploma in Yoga from Yoga Mumbai Institute. She has a virtual and unidentifiable degree in (?) business management from Thames International University, Paris. She has no formal training in any aspect of healthcare. She is a quack of quacks. A top of the line fearmongering "wellness fraud" - a bottom feeder in the ecosystem of healthcare business. She is a female version of Sadhguru. Lots of confidently sounding English words that takes shape of a word salad containing some of the biggest health-related misinformation and disinformation in Indian social media today. See this video for instance. She tells gullible people (who are already fearmongered about modern medicine and have distrust in doctors and medical science) not to opt for gall bladder removal surgery even if it gets complicated with stones disease or inflammation (called acute cholecystitis). A dangerous misinformation that can lead to loss of life. The physiology of gall bladder function and the change in function after gall bladder surgery that she provides is top-class garbage. Complicated gall stone disease require surgery for cure and to prevent further complications. If you remove the gall bladder, you do not develop more diseases like diabetes or obesity. The bile gets stored in the upper part of the small intestine in the absence of gall bladder and keeps helping in digestion. There is no food or diet shortcut that can dissolve gall stones. The story that this lady speaks about - from her own father's experience of using Ayurveda to remove gall stones is complete fabrication. It is an unverifiable, anecdotal bluff. There is no way, gall stones can just disappear in a month. There is only ONE method to diagnose and treat gall stones disease and it is the scientific method based consensus guidelines. See this from the European Association for Study of Liver - Clinical Practice Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gallstones. It provides all information on 1. Prevention of gall stones 2. Diagnosis of gall bladder stones 3. Medical therapy of gall bladder stones 4. Surgical therapy of gall bladder stones 5. Diagnosis of bile duct stones 6. Endoscopic and surgical therapy of bile duct stones 7. Diagnosis and therapy of stones inside liver 8. Therapy of gall stones during pregnancy Peppermint tea, hibiscus tea, lemon water and such easy sounding kitchen-hacks are not the treatment for gall bladder disease or complicated gall stones. Gall bladder stones that are uncomplicated or incidentally detected do not require treatment. Do not worry about them unnecessarily. Gall stones that get stuck in the neck of the gall bladder or come down into the bile duct, causing bile duct obstruction, bile block and infection requires antibiotic therapy and after an interval, removal of gall bladder. Otherwise it could happen again and the second hit of infection could kill the person. It can also lead to gall stone pancreatitis that can lead to multiple organ failure. No amount of hibiscus tea and lemon water will save you when you are in septic shock due to cholangitis and a ruptured gall bladder, on the ventilator inside an ICU. High cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and fatty liver are not caused by removal of gall bladder, but are risk factors for development of the stones themselves - that is, metabolic diseases are associated with higher risk of developing gall stone disease and not the other way around. The lady had gotten it all topsy-turvy - why? Because she has no formal education in medicine and would probably have no clue on which side of the body the liver is. Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in women aged 48-60 years prevented (a correlation) risk of complicated gall stone disease, and subsequent surgery, but is not in anyway same as not doing surgery for complicated gall stone disease. Once complicated, surgery is the best bet to prevent further complications. There is no evidence that drinking carrot and beetroot juice helps reduce complicated gall stone disease or dissolves gall stones. This is utter nonsense. You may be wondering why my post is so long and I had to keep going on and on to debunk small points made by Dimple Jangda. It is not so simple. Its because of this: The Bullshit Asymmetry Principle, also known as Brandolini’s Law, states that the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. PS: Please dont share any more of this quack's videos for me to debunk. I am getting too old for this.

Positioning of drugs in Crohn's disease ___ 1. Start effective therapy early This means at diagnosis in the vast majority of patients. Don’t make patients earn their way onto an effective drug. And use your best drug first. Please do not “save it in case you need it later”. ___ 2. Which of our effective therapies should you start? This matters less that just starting. Think holistically with a patient-centered approach. Age, co-morbidities, extra-intestinal manifestations, pregnancy, etc all important. Consider efficacy - speed of onset, mucosal healing, durability of remission - and safety. Mode of delivery - intravenous, subcutaneous, oral - is important. But comes after patient factors, efficacy and safety. Access issues will predominate for many. Use what you have. Use what you know. Just use an effective drug. ___ 3. Use a treat-to-target approach Without labouring the points around STRIDE-2, I’ll put it very simply: - monitor, monitor, monitor act on the results of the monitoring. Don’t keep going with a therapy that isn’t working. ___ 4. Know when to dose optimise versus switch Optimising anti-TNF is often a good ploy. But do it properly and don’t wait too long. Double the dose, shorten the frequency and wait 2-3 cycles. If it isn’t working then (objectively), switch out of class. With ustekinumab, I would no longer dose optimise, but rather switch a partial responder to risankizumab. ___ 5. Active disease is more dangerous than any drugs Two bits of data this year show this: i) In Profile, patients in the step-up group had twice as many adverse events as those in the top-down group. Most of this was because of flaring Crohn’s disease - including hospitalisations for severe disease - but there were also fewer serious infections in the top down group. And that was with combination infliximab and azathioprine. ii) Two meta-analyses of the harms from placebo in RCT’s show a very clear signal. Active Crohn’s disease and UC, when left untreated for even a number of week, is associated with increased toxicity. More on this later. ___ 6. Avoid steroids The majority of patients with Crohn’s disease can be managed effectively now without steroids. They will still have a role in sick patients, to bridge to some therapies, and a course of budesonide in mild to moderate ileal Crohn’s disease is often useful. However we have better strategies now, including using JAK inhibitors in place of steroids. We are increasingly using a short course to (re)capture response to a biologic or keeping the JAKi going in combination at a low dose. ___ 7. Other treatment modalities Surgery and nutritional therapy are particularly important. ___ 8. Changing the natural history of Crohn’s disease Disease modification is the end result when following these principles. We see it in the Edinburgh IBD clinic. A decade since we switched to a top-down strategy for Crohn’s disease and our patients have better disease control, less surgery and fewer hospitalisations. Clearly we still have work to do, but this is major progress.

PHOTON COUNTING CT is NOT a better CT It is a NEW imaging modality Photon Counting CT (PCCT) represents a transformative leap in medical imaging, not only as a molecular imaging modality but also as a technology offering ultra-high resolution and functional imaging capabilities. It is fundamentally more than just an enhanced version of traditional CT—PCCT introduces new ways of seeing and understanding the human body, providing critical insights at the molecular, structural, and functional levels. This positions PCCT as a unique imaging modality that requires a fresh approach to technical implementation, operational workflows, and financial planning. Despite the larger upfront investment, PCCT’s ability to drastically reduce downstream healthcare costs makes it a highly valuable investment in the long run. 1. Technical Innovations • Molecular Imaging and Energy Discrimination: Unlike traditional CT, which simply measures the total absorbed energy, PCCT counts individual X-ray photons and differentiates their energy levels. This allows for precise molecular imaging, revealing the composition of tissues and materials at a biochemical level. By distinguishing between different tissue types and contrast agents, PCCT opens up new diagnostic possibilities, such as identifying molecular biomarkers in tumors or distinguishing between stable and unstable plaque in coronary arteries. This capability shifts the focus of imaging from purely anatomical to both anatomical and molecular, offering more comprehensive diagnostic information. • Ultra-High Spatial Resolution: PCCT features significantly smaller detector elements compared to conventional CT scanners, allowing for ultra-high resolution imaging. This means clinicians can visualize fine structures such as microcalcifications in arteries, small lesions in soft tissues, or the intricate architecture of bones. This level of detail was previously unattainable with traditional CT. When combined with molecular imaging, this ultra-high resolution allows for the precise localization and characterization of disease at very early stages, which is essential for early diagnosis and intervention. • Functional Imaging Capabilities: PCCT also excels as a functional imaging modality. By capturing energy-resolved information, PCCT can provide insights into tissue functionality and dynamic physiological processes. For instance, it can detect changes in blood flow, tissue perfusion, and oxygenation without the need for additional contrast agents or scans. This functionality allows for real-time assessment of physiological processes, making it particularly valuable in cardiology, oncology, and neurology for evaluating organ function and monitoring disease progression. • Reduced Noise and Artifact Reduction: Photon-counting technology dramatically reduces electronic noise and imaging artifacts, such as beam hardening, resulting in clearer and more accurate images. The ability to deliver ultra-high resolution images with minimal artifacts improves diagnostic accuracy, reducing the need for repeat scans and ensuring that even subtle abnormalities are detected. 2. Operational Considerations • New Workflow for Molecular, High-Resolution, and Functional Imaging: The integration of molecular, ultra-high resolution, and functional imaging into routine clinical workflows introduces complexity that requires adaptation. Radiologists and technicians need specialized training to interpret and analyze multi-energy datasets that include molecular and functional information. PCCT produces a vast amount of detailed data, requiring clinicians to adopt new imaging protocols and refine their diagnostic approaches to fully leverage its capabilities. • Post-Processing and Data Management: PCCT generates richer, more complex datasets, which necessitates advanced post-processing tools and data management systems. Existing PACS and imaging software may not be equipped to handle such large volumes of data or to process functional and molecular information effectively. This means healthcare institutions must invest in robust IT infrastructure, including upgraded software and storage solutions, as well as provide additional training for staff on new imaging analysis techniques. • Revised Clinical Protocols: The molecular, functional, and ultra-high resolution imaging capabilities of PCCT will likely prompt changes in clinical protocols. For instance, the need for contrast agents may be reduced, simplifying patient preparation and decreasing the risk of adverse reactions. Additionally, the ability to monitor physiological functions in real-time through functional imaging could lead to more dynamic diagnostic procedures, such as assessing the effectiveness of interventions or treatments in real-time. 3. Financial Impact • Higher Initial Investment: PCCT systems are more expensive than traditional CT scanners due to their advanced technology, which includes photon-counting detectors and the computational power required for high-resolution, molecular, and functional imaging. While this upfront cost is significant, it is crucial to view it in the broader context of the downstream benefits and cost reductions that PCCT offers. • Downstream Cost Reductions: Although the initial capital investment is higher, PCCT’s ability to combine molecular, functional, and ultra-high resolution imaging leads to substantial reductions in downstream healthcare costs. Its superior diagnostic accuracy minimizes the need for follow-up tests, repeat scans, or invasive diagnostic procedures, such as diagnostic coronary angiographies. For example, in cardiology, PCCT can precisely differentiate between types of coronary plaque, reducing the need for invasive procedures to assess risk. • Lower Overall Healthcare Expenditures: By enabling earlier, more accurate diagnoses, PCCT can reduce the overall cost of patient care. Early detection of disease, particularly through its molecular and functional imaging capabilities, allows for more targeted treatments, potentially preventing the need for more aggressive and expensive interventions down the line. For instance, early-stage tumor detection via molecular imaging could lead to less invasive treatments, reducing hospital stays and improving patient outcomes, ultimately driving down healthcare costs. • Increased ROI Through Enhanced Patient Outcomes: Over time, the combination of molecular, functional, and ultra-high resolution imaging enhances diagnostic precision, which translates into better patient outcomes. Improved diagnostic accuracy reduces the incidence of unnecessary procedures, minimizes treatment delays, and results in more personalized and effective care. This leads to increased patient satisfaction, better healthcare outcomes, and greater patient throughput—all factors that improve the institution’s return on investment (ROI). • Competitive Advantage and New Revenue Streams: By adopting PCCT, healthcare institutions position themselves at the forefront of advanced imaging technologies. The ability to offer molecular, functional, and ultra-high resolution imaging creates a competitive advantage, attracting more complex and high-value cases. This can boost the institution’s reputation for excellence in diagnostics, leading to increased referrals, new patient populations, and expanded revenue opportunities. Summary Photon Counting CT (PCCT) is not just an evolution of existing CT technology—it is a molecular, ultra-high resolution, and functional imaging modality that fundamentally transforms the diagnostic landscape. Its ability to capture detailed molecular data, visualize minute anatomical structures with ultra-high resolution, and provide real-time functional imaging opens new possibilities for earlier and more precise diagnoses. While the financial investment in PCCT is larger, the reduction in downstream healthcare costs through improved diagnostic accuracy, fewer unnecessary interventions, and earlier disease detection far outweighs the initial expense. For institutions committed to advancing patient care and improving long-term financial outcomes, PCCT is an essential investment in the future of medical imaging. The video attached shows a patient accessing the Hospital for ACS.

PHOTON COUNTING CT is NOT a better CT It is a NEW imaging modality Photon Counting CT (PCCT) represents a transformative leap in medical imaging, not only as a molecular imaging modality but also as a technology offering ultra-high resolution and functional imaging capabilities. It is fundamentally more than just an enhanced version of traditional CT—PCCT introduces new ways of seeing and understanding the human body, providing critical insights at the molecular, structural, and functional levels. This positions PCCT as a unique imaging modality that requires a fresh approach to technical implementation, operational workflows, and financial planning. Despite the larger upfront investment, PCCT’s ability to drastically reduce downstream healthcare costs makes it a highly valuable investment in the long run. 1. Technical Innovations • Molecular Imaging and Energy Discrimination: Unlike traditional CT, which simply measures the total absorbed energy, PCCT counts individual X-ray photons and differentiates their energy levels. This allows for precise molecular imaging, revealing the composition of tissues and materials at a biochemical level. By distinguishing between different tissue types and contrast agents, PCCT opens up new diagnostic possibilities, such as identifying molecular biomarkers in tumors or distinguishing between stable and unstable plaque in coronary arteries. This capability shifts the focus of imaging from purely anatomical to both anatomical and molecular, offering more comprehensive diagnostic information. • Ultra-High Spatial Resolution: PCCT features significantly smaller detector elements compared to conventional CT scanners, allowing for ultra-high resolution imaging. This means clinicians can visualize fine structures such as microcalcifications in arteries, small lesions in soft tissues, or the intricate architecture of bones. This level of detail was previously unattainable with traditional CT. When combined with molecular imaging, this ultra-high resolution allows for the precise localization and characterization of disease at very early stages, which is essential for early diagnosis and intervention. • Functional Imaging Capabilities: PCCT also excels as a functional imaging modality. By capturing energy-resolved information, PCCT can provide insights into tissue functionality and dynamic physiological processes. For instance, it can detect changes in blood flow, tissue perfusion, and oxygenation without the need for additional contrast agents or scans. This functionality allows for real-time assessment of physiological processes, making it particularly valuable in cardiology, oncology, and neurology for evaluating organ function and monitoring disease progression. • Reduced Noise and Artifact Reduction: Photon-counting technology dramatically reduces electronic noise and imaging artifacts, such as beam hardening, resulting in clearer and more accurate images. The ability to deliver ultra-high resolution images with minimal artifacts improves diagnostic accuracy, reducing the need for repeat scans and ensuring that even subtle abnormalities are detected. 2.

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

"Medical Facts, Not Political Agendas: The Reality of Parathyroid Disease Treatment in Pakistan" Every patient has the right to seek treatment in any country they choose in order to access the best possible care. However, they should not resort to blatant misinformation to justify their decision. It is misleading and inaccurate to claim by Maryam Nawaz Sharif that parathyroid diseases are only treated in the USA and Switzerland. Parathyroid conditions such as hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism have treatment options available in many countries around the world, including UK, Pakistan, France, Germany, Australia, India, the UAE, Qatar and many others. Hyperparathyroidism, often caused by a parathyroid adenoma, is primarily treated with surgical removal. The associated bone diseases due to high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are managed with medications like Cinacalcet (Mimcipar) , Bisphosphonates, and Denosumab—all of which are available in Pakistan. Many tertiary and private hospitals in Pakistan perform parathyroidectomy, including Aga Khan University Hospital, Shifa International, Doctors Hospital, and Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre. Endocrine surgery is a common procedure in almost every major city in Pakistan. In the case of hypoparathyroidism, treatment typically involves calcium and vitamin D supplements, and for severe chronic cases, Teriparatide (a PTH analogue) is available in Pakistan for replacement therapy with the name "Forteo". The prevalence of parathyroid disease is around 1%. I am writing this fact check to correct the medical inaccuracies, as such disinformation can have serious consequences: 1. It can create hopelessness and despair among tens of thousands of patients with hyperparathyroidism in Pakistan, who are currently being successfully treated through endocrine surgery and medical management within the country. 2. It is a disrespect to the Pakistani medical community, which includes many renowned specialists in endocrine surgery and disease management. One such name is Professor Dr. Khawaja Azim, who served as the head of surgery at Mayo Hospital in 2009 during our times, and is now working at Shalimar Hospital in Lahore as "consultant endocrine surgeon". I am surprised that none of the UK-based journalists present there have rebutted this false statement. Pakistani political figures must verify the facts and be aware of the impact such statements can have on the healthcare system. Not every Pakistani has the means to travel to the USA or Switzerland for parathyroid treatment—and, more importantly, they do not need to, as the same high-quality treatments are available in Pakistan. I am surprised they included UK in this list of countries without parathyroid treatment. I am tagging UK parathyroid foundation Parathyroid UK and UK medical license body GMC for the correction. I hope Maryam Nawaz Sharif will recognize this error and take the necessary steps to correct it because the parathyroid disease affecting thousands of Pakistani patients is equally important, and medical facts are not the political ballot boxes that could be manipulated for personal agendas. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------- Moeed Pirzada @drfaranahmad

TOPIC #19: CORRECTION OF MISCONCEPTIONS IN SOME PIONEERS Happy Sunday, Global Pioneers.🌹🌹🌹 I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to address some misconceptions that I've noticed among our community of Pi Network pioneers. ✅Firstly, Pi is a cryptocurrency that is intended to become a real currency, but it won't replace FIAT currency. Traditional cryptocurrencies have failed as currencies but have instead become assets. Therefore, Pi Network needs a consensus price to OM instead of relying on the exchange market. Please don't use traditional cryptocurrency concepts to limit Pi Network, as regulations will be different from current cryptocurrencies. The regulation for Pi Network as a currency has not yet been released because Pi has not yet been introduced to the world. All activities are currently happening within the community. ✅Secondly, many pioneers have requested the Core Team (CT) to give a price so that we can OM, but this is not possible. CT cannot give a price or guide or indicate a price because it would pose a risk to the project. CT can only work on infrastructure and technology. The government will not be involved in Pi Network, especially during the enclosed mainnet period. This period is for CT, ecosystem developers, and pioneers to work together for the ecosystem. They provide applications and utilities, and pioneers provide the consensus price to help the ecosystem prosper and become robust and mature so that the price won't be affected by the exchange market when OM. Therefore, the current emergency for pioneers is to achieve a safe and high enough consensus price. If we can reach this price and prove it on the blockchain record, the sooner pioneers can pass KYC and migrate to reach OM. ✅Thirdly, some pioneers think of themselves as customers and imagine that they don't have to do anything but require CT or big companies to stand in front and do everything so that they can get wealth. This is impossible. Pioneers have a responsibility to reach a consensus price that aligns with Pi Network's long-term goal, which is to become a world currency. 👉The sooner we can achieve this, the faster KYC and migration will be. Please don't complain to CT because they've completed their task. It's up to pioneers to do our work. 👉Fighting over the price has delayed the process. How can we help? Study the white paper yourself, educate your community, and generate good data. This will help your region's KYC and migration speed. 👉Please remember that Pi Network is contributing a lot and is eager to OM more than us because they spend a lot of money every day. If they didn't insist on their mission, they could have gone to the exchange market two years ago and made a profit. But they have a mission and can withstand high pressure to achieve their goal. 👉They called pioneers one year before to complete our task, which is to reach a price consensus. It's not just about completing your checklist. The checklist can be done in a few minutes. It's not because there aren't enough validators, but rather that many validators have no applications to validate because CT hasn't released them. 👉Why? Because too many pioneers are involved in the black market, and too many low prices are recorded. If they do, Pi's mission cannot be realized. 👉The point is not just to pass KYC and migration. The critical point is united price to GCV! And total leave blackmarket! 👉If CT lets everyone pass when the price is too low, Pi will fail as a currency, and there will be no chance to change it. I was involved in a German cryptocurrency that was in the same situation five years ago. Yes, it was OM on time, and everyone passed KYC. But what happened? Since the holders received the coin at a very low price, around 0.2 Euro by ICO, and some got it for 0.05 Euro, many holders sold it when OM, causing the price to drop to 0.004 USD in 2 months for four years, and now it's still 0.002 USD. Even though the boss invested a huge amount of money to create a need and develop many ecosystems, it still cannot change the reality. ✅So our goal is not just KYC, which cannot make you earn money or at least cannot make you financially free. Our goal is for Pi to successfully OM, satisfying its long-term mission and goal! When Pi Network successfully launches Mainnet, you will definitely achieve financial freedom. This is not just a matter of earning a few hundred or thousand dollars ( Actully I heard a lot pioneers have been scammed which means they lost Pi but no FIAT transfer to them) as you may have experienced before. Those funds will eventually be spent and you may find yourself in the same financial situation as before. In fact your wallet Pi will be confiscated before OM which means you are totally lose change your life opportunity. Do you think it's worth the risk? If you really need hundreds dollars, I suggest to find a labor work such as a waiter who can earn at leas $3000 -$4000 monthly. 👉Therefore, I strongly suggest that pioneers spread education on GCV and study the white paper in your community. Our behavior should align with Pi Network's long-term vision. Only in this way can we push OM quickly, and maybe you will be lucky, and your region can get more KYC slots and migrate more because of your hard work.

This will help your region's KYC and migration speed. 👉Please remember that Pi Network is contributing a lot and is eager to OM more than us because they spend a lot of money every day. If they didn't insist on their mission, they could have gone to the exchange market two years ago and made a profit. But they have a mission and can withstand high pressure to achieve their goal. 👉They called pioneers one year before to complete our task, which is to reach a price consensus. It's not just about completing your checklist. The checklist can be done in a few minutes. It's not because there aren't enough validators, but rather that many validators have no applications to validate because CT hasn't released them. 👉Why? Because too many pioneers are involved in the black market, and too many low prices are recorded. If they do, Pi's mission cannot be realized. 👉The point is not just to pass KYC and migration. The critical point is united price to GCV! And total leave blackmarket! 👉If CT lets everyone pass when the price is too low, Pi will fail as a currency, and there will be no chance to change it. I was involved in a German cryptocurrency that was in the same situation five years ago. Yes, it was OM on time, and everyone passed KYC. But what happened? Since the holders received the coin at a very low price, around 0.2 Euro by ICO, and some got it for 0.05 Euro, many holders sold it when OM, causing the price to drop to 0.004 USD in 2 months for four years, and now it's still 0.002 USD. Even though the boss invested a huge amount of money to create a need and develop many ecosystems, it still cannot change the reality. ✅So our goal is not just KYC, which cannot make you earn money or at least cannot make you financially free. Our goal is for Pi to successfully OM, satisfying its long-term mission and goal! When Pi Network successfully launches Mainnet, you will definitely achieve financial freedom. This is not just a matter of earning a few hundred or thousand dollars ( Actully I heard a lot pioneers have been scammed which means they lost Pi but no FIAT transfer to them) as you may have experienced before. Those funds will eventually be spent and you may find yourself in the same financial situation as before. In fact your wallet Pi will be confiscated before OM which means you are totally lose change your life opportunity. Do you think it's worth the risk? If you really need hundreds dollars, I suggest to find a labor work such as a waiter who can earn at leas $3000 -$4000 monthly. 👉Therefore, I strongly suggest that pioneers spread education on GCV and study the white paper in your community. Our behavior should align with Pi Network's long-term vision. Only in this way can we push OM quickly, and maybe you will be lucky, and your region can get more KYC slots and migrate more because of your hard work.

Awakening "inner fire" to completely make gall bladder polyps disappear is the new rubbish "medinfluencer" Ayurveda practitioners are bringing to town. Do not for a second believe this nonsense. "Before" and "After" reports based on anecdotal, single patient "stories" are a common tactic by alternative medicine practitioners to mislead people into believing that their voodoo treatments work. In fact, I know of a Homeopathy practitioner, who famously "cured" patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection by simply changing the positive report to a negative one using Adobe Photoshop. The same can be true here too. Please do not believe or opt for pseudoscientific alternative treatments for diseases that require realistic care based on "before and after" social media stories. The reports may be manipulated or it could be another patient's report - which is possible in this video too. Removal of gall bladder is a best option and curative treatment for certain gall bladder diseases. Removing the gall bladder does not increase pressure on the liver (trust me, I am a Liver Doctor) and does not make the liver "work hard!" Removing the gall bladder will anatomically change the storage of bile produced by the liver to the upper part of small intestine and nothing more. This does not affect the functioning of the liver in any way. All gall bladder polyps do not require surgical management. Here is what the science has to say on it. To oversimplify: Polyps even in the absence of symptoms, smaller than 10 mm do have the capacity to become cancerous and surgery is recommended when patient has one of more risk factors such as: age more than 60 years, history of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), Asian ethnicity, sessile polypoid lesion (including focal gallbladder wall thickening > 4 mm). For polyps smaller than 10 mm without risk factors, a follow-up at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years with abdominal ultrasound seems to be appropriate. The indication for gall bladder removal should be discussed with the patient in the case of dynamic or unexpected polyp growth. Here is a very detailed and simple guideline on when to surgically manage gall bladder polyps (and no, it does not mention "inner fire or AGNI awakening.") Also please go and educate this Ayurvedic practitioner and reel poster on the real thing:

** Call to Action for Global Pioneers: Uniting Efforts to Stabilize the GCV Price in the Exchange Market** Dear Global Pioneers, We are currently at a critical juncture that may determine our ability to swiftly realize the GCV in the exchange market. As of now, we are in the Open Network phase, which serves as a preparatory stage for a fully decentralized network where all code can be activated. It is important to note that the Pi Network has not registered as a security because it aims to function as a digital currency rather than a digital asset. However, given recent list on the exchange market, compliance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is now necessary for Pi Network, which subsequently require CT not to guide Pi's price in the exchange market. To address this situation, we urge all pioneers to unite in a call auction to ensure the GCV is stabilized as soon as possible. We implore you not to sell below the GCV price. Conversely, you are encouraged to buy if you have the means, as the current prices are significantly low. It is essential to emphasize that we are now in the Open Network phase, permitting both buying and selling. We have observed that many pioneers may be hesitant to make purchases; however, it is imperative that you do not let this concern deter you. We have surpassed the enclosed mainnet phase, where buying and selling were prohibited. Increasing liquidity in the exchange market is crucial for attracting external investors. At this stage, the combined strength of all pioneers is required to enhance purchasing power and to capitalize on lower prices. Please clarify your understanding of our current pricing situation. The existing market prices do not reflect Pi's value of our source code, which is derived from our blockchain record. Our efforts have previously focused on establishing Pi as a digital currency, culminating in the creation of the GCV blockchain record, which has indeed achieved success. For instance, the GitHub record indicates a GCV of $314,159, and Mr. Kasasih's code fork has now been integrated into the CT’s main bran code of the signifying its official status. The rationale for the current low prices in the exchange market stems, in part, from a lack of awareness among many pioneers, some of whom may be in financially constrained positions and require immediate funds for necessities. Such individuals may be misled by those who do not support GCV's potential, thereby selling their holdings at depressed prices. This underscores the importance of CT's control over KYC processes and migration procedures. Allowing all pioneers pass KYC and migrating Pi could lead to detrimental outcomes for the project, as uninformed pioneers may sell at significantly low prices. Just we see right now there are a lot of pioneers sell at very low price. So, CT only allow 10 million wallets migrated. It is important to recognize that the current low pricing is not the fault of the PCT or GCV CT, it is a consequence of a collective lack of proactive engagement from the pioneers. By promoting education on the true value of Pi as GCV, we can mitigate the prevalence of low-price sellers. While complaints about pricing may arise, it is essential to understand that we cannot prevent pioneers from selling. What we can do is purchase the available low-priced offerings from the market and collectively urge all pioneers not to sell below the GCV price. This remains a top priority for all involved if we aim to achieve the OM status swiftly. Additionally, it is vital to understand that the CT cannot announce the price of Pi in the exchange market, nor can they buy all the Pi in the exchange market. The price must ultimately be determined by the actions of our pioneering community and outside investors. Therefore, it is everyone's responsibility to refrain from complaints and instead focus on advancing the project collectively. We recommend all pioneers take the following actions: - Do not sell below $314,159. Please list selling price at $314,159. You should have confidence on GCV when it has been in the code already. Once the OM completed; all ecosystems will implement GCV. And you don’t need to wait long time and I estimate in one month or less. - Consider purchasing if you have extra funds available but ensure that you are not borrowing money or using essential living funds for these investments. Any amount such as $10 or $20 or $100 you choose to invest can contribute to increasing the visibility of Pi in the exchange market, potentially attracting outside investors. Also, many pioneers have locked three years with 100%, it is a good chance. You can acquire 6 Pi for just $10 right now. Once our pioneers warm up the market, you'll see outside investors becoming active, so there's no need to worry about how long or how much funding it will take to reach GCV. As soon as the low-priced Pi are being purchased, the price is poised to surge from just a few dollars to GCV in no time. We won't follow the traditional cryptocurrency path for growth because we have a strong community backing GCV.` It is crucial for all global pioneers to recognize that we are all collectively striving towards the successful realization of the OM. The CT shares this goal as well. However, if the exchange market price remains as low as $1 or $2, the likelihood of merchants joining the Pi Network diminishes. It is imperative that the gap between the ecosystem's Pi value and its exchange market price remain minimal. If the exchange price is low, it inhibits the CT's ability to fulfill ecosystem objectives. You need not worry about protracted timelines. With collective action, the path to achieving GCV can be expedited. While it would indeed be beneficial for the CT to manage arrangements efficiently, it is vital that we do not adopt a passive stance, awaiting resolutions. Delays could adversely affect both the reputation of PCT and the GCV CT. Lastly, I would like to address recent rumors suggesting that pioneers are unable to transfer Pi to or from the exchange market; this information is misleading. Pi Network is indeed open already, and the CT has verified five exchange markets for transactions. I have personally encountered challenges while attempting to purchase 1,000 Pi on the exchange market, with multiple platforms rejecting my credit and debit card payments. Nonetheless, I firmly believe that this represents a valuable investment opportunity critical for advancing our collective mission toward GCV unification in the exchange market. Your understanding of this message and prompt actions will be appreciated as we move forward together. Best regards, Doris Yin🪷🪷🪷 Founder, Global GCV Movement Feb.23rd, 2025

A scientific rebuttal to a dangerous pseudoscience. [1/2] The "leech therapy" promoted on social media and in alternative medicine clinics is a dangerous pseudoscience that bears no resemblance to the legitimate, highly specialized medical use of leeches in micro-surgery. One is a last-resort surgical tool, applied under the strictest safety protocols to manage its inherent dangers. The other is an unproven, unregulated ritual based on archaic beliefs, performed without any regard for patient safety. There is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the use of leech therapy for the treatment of cancer. The claims are based on a deliberate misrepresentation of preliminary lab research. Patients who are lured by these false promises risk abandoning effective, life-saving treatments, a decision that can have fatal consequences. The risks of severe, drug-resistant bacterial infections, uncontrolled bleeding, and the transmission of blood-borne diseases like HIV and hepatitis are not theoretical; they are real and life-threatening. Even in modern hospitals that use prophylactic antibiotics, infection rates following leech therapy are reported to be as high as 20%. Aeromonas species in leeches are naturally resistant to many first-line antibiotics making these infections incredibly difficult to treat. In an unregulated setting (like an Ayurveda clinic) where no antibiotics are given, the risk of a severe, potentially untreatable infection is unacceptably high. This is the strongest possible warning to the public: Never seek leech therapy for cancer or any other systemic disease. It is not an effective treatment and will cause you harm by delaying proper medical care. Avoid any practitioner promoting leech therapy for conditions beyond its narrow, FDA-approved surgical use. Such individuals are not offering a valid "alternative" therapy; they are marketing a dangerous and discredited practice. Trust evidence-based medicine. Decisions about your health, especially when facing a serious diagnosis like cancer, should be made in consultation with qualified medical doctors and based on rigorous scientific evidence, not on viral videos or promises of ancient cures. Choosing unregulated leech therapy is not an informed choice; it is a disastrous and potentially deadly mistake.

TOPIC # 46 DEVELOP REAL ECOSYSTEM DURING 2ND STAGE Dear Global Pioneers, Happy Saturday! Today, I recorded a ten-minute video for you. However, I understand that many of the pioneers may not understand English. So, I am writing this article to help you understand my message. ✅Summary of the 1st Currency stage work from the pioneers' community: According to the white paper, Pi will be a global currency, designed not as an asset or a traditional investment, but as a currency. Therefore, we, as the pioneers' community, need to help Pi complete its mission. The core team can only take care of the infrastructure work; the rest depends on us. This is why it's important for pioneers to understand that we have our task. Our task is not just to complete KYC and migration; it's to develop Pi as a currency. The characteristics of currency include durability, portability, divisibility, uniformity, limited supply, and acceptability. Currency has five major functions: scale of value, means of circulation, means of storage, means of payment, a world settlement currency. Over the past two and a half years, our focus has been on establishing the first currency function as " scale of value" and generating at least one million GCV $314,159 data. We have received support from pioneers representing at least 120 countries. We believe there is no alternative to GCV in terms of pricing. CT’s announcement on Pi2Day indicates that we are on right track and at the forefront of OM. As a result, GCV $314,159 is aligned with Pi Network's mission and vision. I’ve noticed that many pioneers are questioning CT about the delay in KYC and migration procedures over the past two and a half years. My response is that they were awaiting GCV from pioneers. Without this support, our goal of establishing a currency would not be achievable. However, despite the recent Global GCV movement, we have not seen significant involvement from merchants in the exchange of GCV. Most of the data has been generated by pioneers. This is crucial during the initial stages for "value scale." from our pioneers. We have submitted petitions to CT three times for OM on Pi2Day. This is because most community leaders and pioneers are facing resource shortages, and the first function of "value scale" has been successful. If CT can announce the GCV price and OM on Pi2Day , the entire ecosystem will operates on the same pricing system for development. We believe this strategy can also work well. However, CT has announced that OM will be at the earliest by the end of this year. From my perspective, the goal is to reach 15 million KYC and 10 migration Pi wallets, and more importantly, to ensure that the ecosystem has developed to meet the maturity level outlined in the 2019 white paper, or at least has a prototype of the ecosystem. This approach may eliminate the need to announce the Pi price once the entire ecosystem has been accepted. This conservative approach aims to prevent pioneers from converting Pi to FIAT after OM. Instead, the ecosystem will offer utilities for pioneers to use. This will result in a more stable and secure Pi currency. ✅Since CT has decided to OM until the year end or later, there will be at least five months for ecosystem development. Hence, the question now is what pioneers can do during Currency 2nd Stage? Pioneers always have the task of completing their KYC and migration on time, and they are encouraged to become validators if they wish. In addition to the above, pioneers have another important task, which CT cannot directly ask us to do, but it's something we need to do for ourselves. This task is to join the ecosystem with GCV price. As we have discussed, since we want Pi as a currency, it must circulate in our community. Therefore, we need merchants and service providers to offer products or services. However, we cannot force them to do so. If we enforce full Pi payments, they will avoid participating. Currently, we are seeing some full Pi payments in our online ecosystem at different prices, but almost all are very low, less than $1 or less than $0.1. We believe this price is not suitable for Pi's long-term vision and mission. That's why we choose to only support GCV. ✅So the next question is: How can we motivate merchants and service providers to join our ecosystem so that we can OM with GCV $314,159? My suggestion is to allow partial Pi and partial FIAT. They can use 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or even 90% FIAT. As long as the FIAT value is lower than the market price, it will benefit pioneers. When more merchants join, they will compete with each other to lower the FIAT ratio. This concept aims to create a real business environment, not a charity environment. We should not depend on leaders, pioneers, or merchants to donate. Instead, we need to create a mechanism to let them compete, which will benefit them and motivate more merchants to join. What about pioneers? If given two options, which one would you choose? a. Only small items worth $1 available for full Pi payment, with no higher value products available and still needing to spend FIAT from the outside market. b. Buy products inside our community at a 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% FIAT ratio, lower than the outside market price, and including larger items like cell phones, TVs, appliances, jewelry, furniture, clothing, shoes, etc. without limitation. You will save at least 20%-30% on your daily or luxury purchases. I believe you would want option b, as you would save a significant amount of money during the five months. Most importantly, you would be very happy because you understand that what you do will make GCV $314,159 a reality without any doubt. Do you want to live with uncertainty or certainty? Joining this kind of barter system will bring you happiness with certainty. This is what I call the creation of Pi circulation, which is our second stage. After OM, we will enter the third, fourth, and fifth stages, which are the storage, payment, and international settlement currency stages. Since GCV $314,159 on the right track to OM, we need to make GCV more widely accepted and widely used to create circulation. In this way, we will make GCV OM foundation very strong and this will help the ecosystem after OM to reduce any risk that pioneers all go to exchange market to dump. Pi represents not only the future of our pioneers but also the future of the world. Let us come together as a strong, unified family and community. However, beyond this unity, it is imperative to establish a robust business ecosystem and a supportive development environment to encourage and incentivize the participation of more ecosystem members towards our long-term objectives. This will have a positive impact on our local economy and facilitate garnering support from various national governments for the Pi Network. It is crucial for the ecosystem to adhere to FIAT tax obligations to respective country governments, even during the mainnet enclosure. Therefore, partial FIAT payments are essential to enable compliance. Without such a practice, merchants would struggle to sustain themselves and would not have the necessary FIAT currency for tax payments.

Any merchants or pioneers should use their own evaluation to see if it is suitable for them.

This task is to join the ecosystem with GCV price. As we have discussed, since we want Pi as a currency, it must circulate in our community. Therefore, we need merchants and service providers to offer products or services. However, we cannot force them to do so. If we enforce full Pi payments, they will avoid participating. Currently, we are seeing some full Pi payments in our online ecosystem at different prices, but almost all are very low, less than $1 or less than $0.1. We believe this price is not suitable for Pi's long-term vision and mission. That's why we choose to only support GCV. ✅So the next question is: How can we motivate merchants and service providers to join our ecosystem so that we can OM with GCV $314,159? My suggestion is to allow partial Pi and partial FIAT. They can use 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or even 90% FIAT. As long as the FIAT value is lower than the market price, it will benefit pioneers. When more merchants join, they will compete with each other to lower the FIAT ratio. This concept aims to create a real business environment, not a charity environment. We should not depend on leaders, pioneers, or merchants to donate. Instead, we need to create a mechanism to let them compete, which will benefit them and motivate more merchants to join. What about pioneers? If given two options, which one would you choose? a. Only small items worth $1 available for full Pi payment, with no higher value products available and still needing to spend FIAT from the outside market. b. Buy products inside our community at a 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% FIAT ratio, lower than the outside market price, and including larger items like cell phones, TVs, appliances, jewelry, furniture, clothing, shoes, etc. without limitation. You will save at least 20%-30% on your daily or luxury purchases. I believe you would want option b, as you would save a significant amount of money during the five months. Most importantly, you would be very happy because you understand that what you do will make GCV $314,159 a reality without any doubt. Do you want to live with uncertainty or certainty? Joining this kind of barter system will bring you happiness with certainty. This is what I call the creation of Pi circulation, which is our second stage. After OM, we will enter the third, fourth, and fifth stages, which are the storage, payment, and international settlement currency stages. Since GCV $314,159 on the right track to OM, we need to make GCV more widely accepted and widely used to create circulation. In this way, we will make GCV OM foundation very strong and this will help the ecosystem after OM to reduce any risk that pioneers all go to exchange market to dump. Pi represents not only the future of our pioneers but also the future of the world. Let us come together as a strong, unified family and community. However, beyond this unity, it is imperative to establish a robust business ecosystem and a supportive development environment to encourage and incentivize the participation of more ecosystem members towards our long-term objectives. This will have a positive impact on our local economy and facilitate garnering support from various national governments for the Pi Network. It is crucial for the ecosystem to adhere to FIAT tax obligations to respective country governments, even during the mainnet enclosure. Therefore, partial FIAT payments are essential to enable compliance. Without such a practice, merchants would struggle to sustain themselves and would not have the necessary FIAT currency for tax payments.

Yoga and improved skin health and hair growth? India’s pseudoscience poster boy, Ranveer, aka Beerbiceps gets it embarrassingly wrong. Let us break it down. I am sorry this is lengthy, because – as per Brandolini's Law (aka the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle): It takes a lot more energy to refute bullshit than to produce it. Check out this video. In it, Ranveer “pseudoscience peddler” Allahbadia with over 8 million followers on YouTube and Instagram bullshits everyone in just 35 seconds. He showcases some major female movie celebrities and tells the viewers that the secret to their skin and hair is that they perform Yoga every day, especially a Yoga pose called the “Sarvangasana” or shoulder-stand or candle pose. His “scientific” explanation? The stance increases blood flow the scalp and head, and improves skin health and hair growth. This is utter nonsense. What happens to the blood flow, heart, head, and brain region when someone takes an upside-down stance? For that, you must know the meaning of one word – Homeostasis. Homeostasis is a self-regulating process by which human body maintains internal stability in its organ functions while adjusting to changing external conditions. This is also consists of “autoregulation,” the method by which an organ or tissue maintains blood flow despite a change in perfusion due to external (eg: body position changes) or internal (block in blood vessels) conditions. For example, we are normally supposed to walk on two legs or rest by sitting down or lying down. The heart rate, blood flow to all organs including scalp and brain is all maintained depending on the importance and metabolic activity of that organ. For example, at rest, highest proportion of blood flow is received by the liver (nearly 25% of cardiac output) which is 100ml/min per 100g liver weight. The brain receives 50ml/min per 100g weight, while the skin receives 1 to 3ml per 100g per minute. Organ tissues are usually considered as blood supply-dependent (e.g., heart and brain) and blood supply-independent (e.g., abdominal organs, kidneys, skin, and resting muscle) for oxygen delivery – meaning the latter WILL receive fixed amounts to maintain its functioning while the former requires changes to blood flow depending on various unusual situations. For example, in massive blood loss, the body will try to maintain blood flow into heart and brain rather than skin and muscle to maintain life. The blood flow is set in the body for proper functioning of organs and every time we try to change that flow, a healthy body will re-align that flow depending on the importance of the organ systems functions. So, when you do a shoulder stand or candle pose, the initial sudden change to the body position will be caught by the receptors in the blood vessels and heart which will re-align the flow to organs of importance, thereby maintaining critical functions that are required for health. Which means, the blood flow to the skin including the scalp, will be re-aligned to its required flow and DOES NOT increase to face and scalp or brain as India’s pseudoscience peddler mentions. In heavy aerobic exercise and changes to temperature related sweating or certain disease conditions, the skin blood can increase. Yoga is not a proper exercise as it is not an aerobic activity. Now Sarvangasana and blood flow – a study showed that heart and blood flow responses were NOT AFFECTED with this pose in healthy people. Even a complete head stand, called Sirsasana does not increase blood flow to the brain, forget the scalp skin, because of blood delivery homeostasis due to autoregulatory mechanisms. The claims for effects of Yoga on specific organs are complete bluff – a public duping started by B K S Iyengar who took Yoga to the international stage. Even in his authoritative books, he does not mention shoulder stand or candle pose to be useful for hair growth. In fact, he [nonsensically] mentions that shoulder stand will improve “thyroid health” (it does not), controls asthma (it does not), reduces disease of the throat (it does not) and prevents common cold (it does not, because common cold is caused by a virus, and not dependent on whether you stand, sit, lie down, and hang yourself upside down). Also, note that Sarvangasana (shoulder stand), Sirsasana (head stand) and Padmasana (lotus position) are the most common Yoga poses reported to cause an injury. In those with high blood pressure or heart disease, these poses may become life threatening. You can see those here here and here Yoga, especially shoulder or head stands do not improve skin health or increase hair growth by increasing blood flow. In fact, Yoga does nothing specific for organ systems functions since such evidence does not exist. A lot of pseudoscience peddlers who sympathize with Yoga will mislead you with many such magical benefits. So then, what specific exercise or action improves hair growth? We do not really know. There is some evidence, even though weak, for standardized scalp massages: good evidence for scalp cooling (prevents hair loss, may promote regrowth especially in chemotherapy patients) Speak with your Dermatologist on skin and hair health queries and not National-level baby-face poster boys of misinformation.

Long rant, but worth it, please read & share. A bunch of businessmen, some quite famous, sit around a table discussing the "business of alcohol." So far so good. Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life. It rakes in money for governments through taxation & monopoly; and fattens the bank accounts of those behind the industry (like this round table group) and makes barons out of those who sell well. But when these businessmen, start glorifying their business of alcohol by equating it to "good healthcare intervention," it goes definitely into the realm of health misinformation, which is why, I have to keep discussing this absolutely garbage myth that "alcohol in moderation is good for you" and the absolute nonsense disclaimer to support that myth, which they call "drink responsibly." You know, first of all, it is easy for these rich men and women to glorify their alcohol business and discuss their high flying life, because "God" forbid, if they ever land with diseases related to alcohol - from strokes, to cancers to liver disease to mental health disorder - they can afford the best care out there. I treat alcohol use disorder and related acute liver disease, chronic liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure (the most devastating of them all with highest death rate without a timely liver transplantation) on a daily basis. I am not even saying "almost on a daily basis" - it is daily. Every single day from Monday to Friday - both in-patients, as well as out-patients. Patients and families struggle to make ends meet for proper healthcare because alcohol use destroyed their life savings. And by the time they find the funds to get things going, the patient is already on the ventilator and in multiple organ failure. They use the money to bury the dead person - killed by alcohol (normalized by round-table discussions like these) and the rest of the money, go toward the fatherless childrens education. Nice going? To claim drinking alcohol in moderation is good, is actually a crime. It is a crime towards humanity, it is not in good-faith --> it is in good-faith to run the business yes, because the many people who use it occassionally, move on to frequently, and then get dependent or "routinize" it. These businessmen have nothing to lose - because they have already put up a stupid disclaimer to get away with it - "drink responsibly." So it becomes the drinkers fault. But then is it really? Drinking alcohol is a choice. But drinking more alcohol becomes "not" a choice anymore. The first drink takes your brain. It reduces brain volume, gives you a dopamine kick, makes you happy. And then onwards, you are alcohol's slave. The drinks increase. Or a routine sticks. The alcohol controls your life. You have to drink to stay happy. And then the serotonin (the actual happiness hormone, not the pleasuring one like dopamine) cease to work inside your brain and the mental health disorder that follows will swallow you whole. You die. Your family is brioken. There is no money left. If you are lucky and rich like these people sitting around this table doing this nonsense of a podcast, then you may be able to afford a lifesaving organ transplant or healthcare intervention. There is no safe level of alcohol that is good for human health and every person who claims drinking in moderation is good for you, is actually an idiot, intellectually depleted and without any regard for fellow humans and lack compassion. No amount of alcohol is safe because it is not just a liver poison, it is systemic poison. It gets to every part of your body. Even single to lowest exposure can wreck your DNA and promote cancer formation. There is scientific evidence to this. ✅️ ✅ Any amount of alcohol can increase your chances of getting at least 7 types of dreadful cancers. ➡️ & ➡️ It is not just disease causing, but alcohol use is also a societal poison. It drives people into becoming menace to society, takes lives, wrecks havoc in homes and is the real widow-maker. Have you forgotten these so quickly? 🔴The 17-year-old Pune boy, son of a renowned real-estate developer Vishal Agarwal, spent a whooping Rs 48,000 in just 90 minutes in one of the two pubs he visited on Saturday evening where he consumed alcohol with his friends before ramming his Porsche Taycan into a motorcycle, killing two young techies. and this one? India’s alcohol deaths are higher than China; per capita consumption is set to rise: WHO And please allow me refresh your memory about this patient of mine. Rich business people can sit around a table and discuss the business of alcohol and the "best alcohol" that they savor and falsely glorify and normalize alcohol use among youth, but end-of-the-line physicians like me have to bear the brunt of their intellectually deficient, a humanism lacking stupid conversations. "The 4th Laddu": Doctor Shares Emotional Post About A Patient Who Touched His Heart Also banning alcohol has NOT led to economies go into shambles. For example a recent study in the Lancet Regional Health showed that "strict alcohol regulation policies may yield significant population level health benefits for frequent drinkers and many victims of intimate partner violence." In fact, "economic savings and health benefits from reduced alcohol consumption may be substantial—particularly in the health sector with reduced alcohol-related disease and injury." So please chuck that idea that "banning/ limiting or reducing alcohol sales" actually desroys economies. In fact it improves it because you get a helathier population. See the Nordic Schema: “A comprehensive ban on alcohol marketing, enforced at the national and local level, is a best practice for reducing alcohol sales and consumption." - which means, podcasts like these, which glorify alcohol use and market it indirectly must also be burned to the ground and held accountable. There is no healthy or safe alcohol. There is no best alcohol. Alcohol is ethanol, which is a systemic and societal poison. Do not glorify it. And this why there is no "responsible drinking," because you cannot advice people to "drink poison responsibly." Podcast discussions like these are helping no one here. Please, do something that actually helps people out here. Do something good for the society, instead of goofing up like this. No one asked for this absolute bonkers of a podcast topic. Irresponsible. The whole team. For a realistic detailed discussion on alcohol and its effects on the body and why we must avoid it at all costs, please see my deep discussion with Ranveer Allahbadia here: And on that final note, I must confess that the title of podcast series (video below) was perfectly named: WTF.

🚨 SHE WAS SENT TO HOSPICE WITH CANCER EVERYWHERE… THEN HER PET SCAN WENT COMPLETELY NORMAL. An 83 year old woman had already beaten breast cancer once after her original diagnosis in 2009. But by late 2021, the disease had returned in its most aggressive form. Doctors confirmed metastatic breast cancer in the liver through biopsy. Fluid buildup in the abdomen also tested positive for malignant cancer cells. MRI scans showed tumors throughout the spine including T10, T12, L1 through L5, the sacrum, and pelvic bones. PET scans later revealed multiple hypermetabolic lesions in the lungs and destructive bone tumors spreading into the spinal canal. At this stage, most people understand what this means. This is usually considered terminal disease. The patient reportedly declined further chemotherapy and extensive radiation treatment and was instead placed into hospice care. In other words, end of life management. Then something unexpected happened. In November 2021, she reportedly began self-administering 222mg of Fenbendazole daily while also receiving limited supportive treatment for pain management and hormonal suppression. The radiation she later received only targeted two spinal lesions to help relieve unbearable nerve pain, but it would not have affected the cancer already spread throughout the lungs, liver, pelvis, and the rest of the spine. Yet over the next several months, her condition reportedly changed dramatically. Liver enzymes that had become abnormal returned to normal ranges. Her CA 27.29 tumor marker reportedly dropped from 316 down to 36.6, suggesting a massive reduction in total tumor burden throughout the body. Then came the scan that shocked many people following the case. An April 2022 PET scan reportedly showed NO abnormal metabolic activity associated with active cancer. No activity in the lungs. No activity in the liver. No activity throughout the spine and pelvis where widespread metastatic disease had previously been documented. A patient once placed into hospice care reportedly showed complete metabolic resolution on imaging after months of Fenbendazole use. 👇 Stories like this are exactly why thousands of people are now researching repurposed protocols involving Fenbendazole, Ivermectin, and Mebendazole through GENIX MEDS and following the growing body of research around these compounds. Interest in repurposed antiparasitic drugs continues increasing globally, especially after multiple institutions began publishing research on compounds like Mebendazole in glioblastoma, colon cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer models. Johns Hopkins researchers have also patented formulations involving Mebendazole for cancer related applications. ⚠️ This post is for informational and educational purposes only.

"100% Of Dead MS Patients Autopsied Had Parasites. Some Of Them Grossly Visible To The Naked Eye." Dr Lee Merritt, MD "Organized Medicine Stops At The Diagnosis, Never Acknowledging Or Treating The Root Cause." "Another Tactic To Keep Us Sick & Die Prematurely." "We make it sound in organized medicine, that if we can label something, we really understand it." A perfect example is Multiple Sclerosis. A diagnosis based on plaques found in the brain & the spinal cord. Upon diagnosis by organized medicine, that's as far as the root cause healing goes. No one is asking, "but what causes MS, what causes the plaques?" The next step is never taken to ascertain what causes Multiple Sclerosis. Groundbreaking research by pathologist Dr Alan Macdonald, MD FCAP, from Naples Florida has confirmed that the plaques in the brain & spinal cords of MS patients are parasites. 100% of the dead Multiple Sclerosis patients that he had autopsied had parasites in the brain & spine. Some of them grossly visible to the naked eye. "We have accepted that the 'smart people' of the universities were paying attention to this. We are learning that they weren't paying attention." "This can't be by accident. After decades of medicine & seeing them telling us things that are completely wrong over & over & over again, you finally wake up & realize this is not by accident. This is a long term calculated plan to keep us sick & to kill us prematurely." Dr. Alan MacDonald’s work revealed that every MS patient studied had parasites in their brain & in their spinal fluid — and inside those parasites, they found Borrelia bacteria (the bacteria linked to Lyme disease). This means that: *⃣ Parasites can invade the brain & nervous system *⃣ They trigger chronic inflammation & immune dysregulation *⃣ They can carry bacteria like Lyme deeper into tissues *⃣ Parasites + infections is the root cause in MS These plaques, clearly seen on MRI & CT scans, are actually parasitic infections, hiding in plain sight. We’ve been told MS is just the immune system attacking itself, but what if the immune system is actually responding to infections & parasites? It’s time to ask better questions about chronic illness — and start looking at the role of parasites in neurological disease. 👇Parasites Cause Demyelination In MS👇 👇Parasitic Worms In MS Cerebrospinal Fluid👇 👇MS Autopsies Reveal Parasitic Infections👇 Speaker: Dr Lee Merritt Video: @1_GODSOLDIER

Groundbreaking research by pathologist Dr Alan Macdonald, MD FCAP, from Naples Florida has confirmed that the plaques in the brain & spinal cords of MS patients are parasites. 100% of the dead Multiple Sclerosis patients that he had autopsied had parasites in the brain & spine. Some of them grossly visible to the naked eye. "We have accepted that the 'smart people' of the universities were paying attention to this. We are learning that they weren't paying attention." "This can't be by accident. After decades of medicine & seeing them telling us things that are completely wrong over & over & over again, you finally wake up & realize this is not by accident. This is a long term calculated plan to keep us sick & to kill us prematurely." Dr. Alan MacDonald’s work revealed that every MS patient studied had parasites in their brain & in their spinal fluid — and inside those parasites, they found Borrelia bacteria (the bacteria linked to Lyme disease). This means that: *⃣ Parasites can invade the brain & nervous system *⃣ They trigger chronic inflammation & immune dysregulation *⃣ They can carry bacteria like Lyme deeper into tissues *⃣ Parasites + infections is the root cause in MS These plaques, clearly seen on MRI & CT scans, are actually parasitic infections, hiding in plain sight. We’ve been told MS is just the immune system attacking itself, but what if the immune system is actually responding to infections & parasites? It’s time to ask better questions about chronic illness — and start looking at the role of parasites in neurological disease. 👇Parasites Cause Demyelination In MS👇 👇Parasitic Worms In MS Cerebrospinal Fluid👇 👇MS Autopsies Reveal Parasitic Infections👇 Speaker: Dr Lee Merritt Video: @1_GODSOLDIER
