Paraxanthine seems fantastic, you get the good affects of #Caffeine w/o the negatives. But the article doesn't touch on the DIURETIC properties. Does it inhibit ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) and make you run to the bathroom like caffeine? @SupplySideSJ https://t.co/1SBy2oPppn

Fascinating discovery helps the immune system attack cancer cells. #Cancer #MedicalResearch https://t.co/ViQGuz6JUh

Parkinson’s Patients will get Fecal (Gut Bacteria) Transplants! Incredibly exciting future study. #fecaltransplant #microbiota transplant #microbiome https://t.co/lNnGmeOWFp

🚨 Breaking: 🇨🇿 Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová calls to leave the UN 🇺🇳 for supporting terrorism: “Three weeks ago Hamas murdered over 1400 Israelis, more victims for their population than Al Qaeda murdered in the US on 9/11. And only 14 countries, including ours, have

These findings don’t equate to causation, so we are left with the proverbial question of which comes 1st: chicken v egg | | microbiome alterations v Alzheimer’s. I love that there is a good study that may come from this - can changing the microbiome ch… https://t.co/cReHNYUFDS

Outdoor time is about more than just Vitamin D.

The little talked about Post-Biotic and short chain fatty acid (SCFA), Butyrate.

This is a very exciting development. The earlier we catch something the better chance of survival. And there are a number of cancer types included in the panel tht can be screened any other way. This is a game changer.

Natural doesn’t automatically mean better. We still have to think.

Could the sensation of hunger itself be healthy? I think we are searching for a balance regarding our self-regulation of food abundance, or lack there of. Humans, as a species, have never enjoyed so much abundant access to food… https://t.co/U2zYUYYv4U

A thread worth reading.

This is a really interesting study of #microbiome - how specific gut bacteria might be correlated with Atrial Fibrillation (abnormal rhythm of the heart that increases risk for stroke). This is the beginning of a whole new field. @sungenomics https://t.co/Em2EvKAO0u

Fascinating results, but will be challenging to determine if applicable to humans, given that we can't biopsy participant brains. We certainly can look at brain function, markers of oxidative stress, and antioxidant activity. Curious what @buzzhollandermd thinks about the study?

Look at the overlap of Giftedness & ADHD. Here lies the celebrated “superpower.” #adhd #adhdbrain

2. We know fecal transplant is effective as well, but donor sourcing is an issue, so it makes sense to look at other potential treatments. Why don’t we focus on preventing the initial infection? Idea: Provide treatment with prophylactic oral probiotics upon hospital admission.

1. C. diff is a pathogenic gut bacteria - the most common hospital-associated infection, caused by broad-spectrum antibiotics that kill everything - good & bad. Taking a hi-dose of harmless non-dificile strains of clostridia prevented recurrent Infection. https://t.co/zYbTuchGmP

We can benefit from other organisms' stress. When certain plants are stressed they can produce chemicals that protect them and increase their resilience. When we consume them (or put them on our skin, as with this example) we can derive the same benefit. https://t.co/IItrlf66X9

Elegant study shows how the #microbiome may be linked to a specific anti-cancer (immune system) mechanism. Side note that #antibiotics had a negative impact on this mechanism.

Good article about testing for underlying causes of atypical neurodevelopment & neurological “symptoms” in kids. We have access to incredible genetic testing, so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t use it. A parent shouldn’t have to be a pediatrician.

Love this tech.
