The #hepatitis C #virus, which is spread through contact w/infected blood & can lead to #deadly liver #cancer, is notoriously hard to identify. But if anyone could understand what was #happening in FL, it would be the Division of #ViralHepatitis in the #CDC's HQ.
Using samples from the lab's collection of nearly 1M frozen specimens, scientists helped make the initial discovery of the #HepatitisC virus in the 1980s. In 2020, that #research was awarded the #NobelPrize in #Medicine.

It was never about and never will be about "waste and fraud".

"The treatment approach is still early in its development; the personalized immunotherapy regimen shrank tumors in only about a quarter of the patients with colon, rectal and other GI cancers enrolled in a clinical trial.
...
Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff and by purchasing slowdowns."

Beware of the #dangers of #Silicon #Dioxide!

- Silicon Dioxide is a side product of dehydration of #asbestos
- Inhaling Silicon Dioxide causes #silicosis which is a condition that can fatally damage the lungs
- Silicon Dioxide is commonly used to contain #DihydrogenMonoxide
- Silicon Dioxide is a substance frequently warned about on packages
- Silicon Dioxide is used to manufacture #5G endpoint devices
- Silicon Dioxide is used by the #military to direct the effect of #TerahertzRadiation at the intended target
- Silicon Dioxide is a chemical known to the State of #California to cause #cancer.
- Silicon Dioxide is an essential component of #Molotov Cocktails
- Substantial amounts of Silicon Dioxide are often among trash washed up by the sea
- Silicon Dioxide, even in form of medium sized crystals, is a known "chicken killer"
- Silicon Dioxide is, as known for a long time, where the #foolish man built his home
- Silicon Dioxide is a commonly used extinguishing agent for Class D fires
- Contact with Silicon Dioxide often causes bleeding and injuries up to and including death
- Silicon Dioxide is used to enhance the effect of abrasive blasting, and can even chip away at steel
- Silicon Dioxide is often shipped alongside other dangerous chemicals such as #SulfuricAcid
- Just small quantities of Silicon Dioxide in your bed can cause #insomnia

Despite all this, even today Silicon Dioxide is still used as a building material for homes! #SiliconDioxide #conspiracy

Study highlights cancer risk from millions of CT scans performed annually
CT scans diagnose afflictions from tumors to kidney stones to life-threatening diseases and injuries, such as aneurysms and blood clots leading to stroke.

But the radiation emitted by this essential diagnostic tool may cause more harm than previously known and could eventually be responsible for roughly 5% of all cancers diagnosed in the U.S. in a single year, a new study finds.

Medical errors kill, maim and traumatize. As a disability advocate, I hear stories of medical negligence almost every day. I’ve got more than a handful of my own stories.

Few are as egregious a this one.

A young woman seeks help for abdominal pain. At first she’s dismissed as having PCOS.

They later find a 25cm (!!!) cyst on her ovary and proceed to do a total hysterectomy and resect part of her bowel and appendix.

She barely survives, and when she regains consciousness in the ICU is told she’s lost her womb and has stage four cancer.

That alone would be difficult to deal with, but then she’s later told she doesn’t have cancer and the hysterectomy and surgical menopause were unnecessary.

She tries to focus on the positive (not dying of cancer), only to have the medical team change course again and confirm that she actually DOES have stage four cancer but in her appendix and lymph nodes and not her uterus or ovary. Pp

The gauntlet of emotions this woman must be dealing with is heartbreaking.

How a medical team can get something this wrong this many times on ONE patient I will never understand.

As always, try and have an advocate with you at all times. I’m unsure if it would have helped in this scenario, but we all need a second set of eyes and ears in the room.

Ask questions. Get a second opinion. Don’t be afraid to speak up if you feel you’re being mistreated. Reach out online for support from other patients and caregivers… we will help you.
