Figuring out why a medication made me want to kill people has been the fire lighting my ass. Something is very very wrong.https://t.co/GFrS1sgLdE
If you've been following me here since 2015, you may have noticed a lot of my early explorations were dopamine and opioid system. I was trying to figure out why Citalopram would trigger Akathisia, + what was unique in my biology.https://t.co/cF5ON3BW4phttps://t.co/vouwgZDYzp https://t.co/6oIynJgquL
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.https://t.co/MjUZvy8oM8https://t.co/Zid6KK3eaR
@MatthewBipolar @RyanMarino @0knaomi It only takes a few minutes to find FDA docs showcasing a large number of SSRI related drugs having homicidal ideation as possible complication.here Effexor XR (venlafaxine hydrochloride, an SNRI), which is often prescribed along with common SSRIs. https://t.co/iZvNdm32eJ https://t.co/C0Nn8DKyoH
Keep eating corn and antibiotics you dumb motherfuckers."Glyphosate targets a broad range of weeds and is important in the production of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and glyphosate-resistant field crops such as corn and soybean." https://t.co/9Lio6dQqdR🤪https://t.co/H2mTBeYmGM
I think this is akin to a westermarck effect, but for child eating (driven by pellagra's impact on sense of smell) that causes hamster to not smell children as 'disgusting and not food'.This improves corn's chances of survival.https://t.co/TkR9YlaO98https://t.co/tbLwk02h95 https://t.co/nr0CGHTgiX

Finally got a doctor who would listen.GF is off of Venlafaxine. Took ~3 months of tapering. https://t.co/NIxV9Onl9i
I was arguing with a DNP about weening my GF from a bad medication. They were using how they went to a conference in London; argumentum ad verecundiam. Found out after fact that, at the time, the person who did the keynote speech was following me on here.https://t.co/viDJNXEeCn
Now I have to tackle an antacid that is making her not fully get rid of the thrush infection even after two rounds of different antifungals.A problem that the doctors directly caused.https://t.co/bdQSjFSUhh
I just found out that my GF's primary prescribed a drug that interacts with her lung medication and impacts histamines. I wanna cry.The lung doctor who prescribed the inhaler said to GF that thrush cant make your throat close up.What the fuck is wrong with our medical system? https://t.co/cxl4K0SwL1
GF's mom is slowly dying and it makes me sad and angry.https://t.co/Y21M8EL9Ix
@zeynep My GF's 60+ mother got what appears to be autoimmune thrombocytopenia from vaccine. The doctors that were prescribing her medication for RA that neutralizes antibody response to the vaccines didn't modify her dose at all when asked. She eventually had a breakthrough infection.
Hopefully when GF's stomach isn't full of antibiotics, and antacid is removed, we'll be able to reboot her gut colony & actually fix her type II diabetes.Did you know Venlafaxine enhance antibiotics?https://t.co/Pz5VlgewEtliterally predictable. https://t.co/Cj8q8uOJ98 https://t.co/UiBrNrQTK4
Why I knew that bupropion was going to cause metabolism changes in my girlfriend. Med interaction with her other SSRIs thru gut microbial shifts. Because I knew a lot about Crohn's Disease and intestinal inflammation's impact on microbes.https://t.co/yXQDQ1UoxV
This entire journey I'm on started with research citalopram..."CITALOPRAM AND VENLAFAXINE DIFFERENTIALLY AUGMENTS ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF ANTIBIOTICS" [2015]https://t.co/sNOnDSZcu7
"More work is necessary to identify what further individual characteristics might give someone a higher risk of committing violent crimes during SSRI treatment" [2020] https://t.co/ul0sX5RpiO
They're going to look for genes or mental health predisposition instead of looking at diet and gut bacteria...Its always. the same. Ignorance. https://t.co/g7xXdoJz1h
A good example of this in action is exploring the way that genetically similar locust end up shifting their entire physiology in response to a serotonin related process.It was only January 2019 that we had a good study their gut! https://t.co/aDCA895UWMhttps://t.co/QXc9KVzZVO
Its always. The same. Ignorance.Scent is epigenetic.https://t.co/E6mFmO2mjr
"There are still many questions to be asked: how does the ant know it’s infected; will a similar behavior be observed in other ant species; does self-medication differ in colonial and non-colony dwelling insects?[...] “we don’t know… yet.”" https://t.co/uO5OrdHUlG
GF no longer has PCOSGF no longer has Type II diabetesGF no longer has chronic pain and inflammation that impairs her movement.She's getting strongerShe's starting to get feeling back in her fingers and heal her dry cracked skin.Fix. your. gut.https://t.co/kiTZceIMRF
What if I told you that all of this research is promulgated on a hypothesis that I can cure my girlfriend's type 2 diabetes thru diet by using various terpenes to bias her microbiome... and all this about dicks is proxy research to hormone-microbe ties.https://t.co/zZ9obc2BGY
