Mononucleosis virus is a nasty virus, implicated in Multiple Sclerosis ( MS ) and interstitial cystitis (IC). In […]
Bad and All Else Fails? Try a Super Sphenopalatine Glanglion Block (SPGB)
Post op case of open pancreaticoduodenectomy, portal lymphadenectomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for ca pancreas. Afterward had 10/10 severe shoulder tip pains that nothing would help.

Autoimmunity is taking a completely new twist: – Lupus has been linked dysregulation of immune response related to one gene which causes body to fight its own DNA rather than […]

Low Vitamin D Hard on Aging Brain For Males
Brain Size versus vitamin D levels is a linear relationship pointing out that only high vitamin D levels give full brain size. This confirms prior studies suggesting high doses are needed for health.

Activation of gut pain receptors activates goblet cells that secrete healthy mucus which helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Research in mice points to this contribution.
Nociceptor neurons direct goblet cells via a CGRP-RAMP1 axis to drive mucus production and gut barrier protection. Daping Yang et al; Cell Oct 2022
