on X for #GI news, #IBS, #PIIBS, #SIBO, #scientificmethod, #scientificrigor, #hardevidence, #hardscience, #nobullshitscience I work with computers.
Recently, I was at a fundraiser for a non-IBS GI condition and they said "We are trying to raise money for a real disease. This is not IBS." Wow was I upset! It's time to raise resources for #IBS (the most expensive, most common disease in GI). Let's turn up the volume on this.
🌟 Exciting News from MAST! 🌟 We are proud to announce the official launch of PREIMAGINE — the pediatric extension of our groundbreaking REIMAGINE study. Building on the success of REIMAGINE, PREIMAGINE aims to deepen our understanding of the developing microbiome and its…
The healthiest people I know are very skeptical of what doctors tell them. There’s a lesson in that somewhere
Academic publishing is perhaps the greatest scam perpetrated on intelligent people 1) Write grants (unpaid) 2) Do research 3) Write papers 4) Peer review (unpaid) 5) PAY up to $12K to publish 6) Need publications to get grants (back to step 1) Publishers: 38% profit margins
Walk through Harvard’s medical centers: hundreds of labs operate on fumes, surviving on soft money with no real support from a university sitting on a $50 billion endowment. Faculty and postdocs chase whatever fad might buy them a sliver of career security. It’s an…
Your argument is “give Harvard more money because David Liu exists.” Liu is a statistical anomaly in a system drowning in administrative expansion, public relations storytelling, soft-money desperation, and seniority-based funding. He could do his work anywhere. Harvard trots…
⭐️Thrilled to share our latest publication! We found that pelvic floor dysfunction is associated with microbial overgrowth, especially intestinal methanogen overgrowth! If #SIBO/#IMO is found, make sure to investigate the pelvic floor! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nm…
🚨 New data drop! Our latest study explores the link between pelvic floor dysfunction and microbial overgrowth, using both aspirate cultures and breath testing. 🌟Methanogen overgrowth was associated with pelvic floor dysfunction It’s time to connect the dots between #SIBO,…
I generally don’t like to do overt public shaming, but I feel like I’m being punked. ER Doctor “SJW” with a Taylor Swift profile pic/banner, arguing that because a patient has 10 MRIs or an EMG or PET that are clear, that FND is a legit diagnosis for patients with neurological…
Knowledge for its own sake seems so last century If we know that we have limited time and limited resources, doesn't it make more sense to selectively choose where we invest those resources? This is already done very primitively through grants
The purpose of academic science isn’t to change the world. That’s a by-product. The purpose of anything academic is knowledge for its own sake. It’s worthwhile to study birds, bats & pterosaurs, not so that we can engineer angels, but because they are cool to study of their own.
Defo. German medical researchers, politicians and patient groups should be very much alert that this pot of money should not be misused to the detriment of patients - by internal and external partners suddenly interested in this (psychosomatic or otherwide useless) collaboration.
The myth of hysteria never died, it just got rebranded as “stress”, anxiety”, “central sensitisation”, “conversion disorder”, and “FND”.
The ‘mind-body’ ‘biopsychosocial’ movement is a device to shut people out of an overburdened healthcare system. Of course, this is stupid, because most conditions do not spontaneously resolve. They snowball, exponentially increasing long-run pressure on healthcare resources.
Last week, MAST’s own Said Bogatyrev, PhD, represented us at the 10th International Conference on Clinical Metagenomics in Geneva, Switzerland 🇨🇭. He presented our new QUASAR software — a cutting-edge tool for quantitative sequencing developed right here at MAST. Read more…
When this sort of language gets mixed with so-called "functional disorders" like #IBS it gets <i>really</i> dangerous.
A generation ago, adults tended to rely on plain descriptors. A kid was shy. A kid was disruptive. Now we reach more quickly for clinical language. The shy child becomes a case of anxiety. The disruptive child becomes someone with ODD. The behavior hasn’t necessarily changed, but…
1. too much "bio" 2. not enough "psychosocial" 3. it's a threat to the gut-brain axis hypothesis of #IBS
From the same people who continue to deny that #SIBO explains a very large number of #IBS cases much better than any of their brain-gut woo. 😂😂😂😂😂
Bloating is almost always present in #IBS and functional dyspepsia and most common in IBS/dyspepsia overlap - as explained by @MagnusSimren during the @RomeFoundation session at @2024FnmThailand #FNM2024 @DrPalssonUNC
Novo Nordisk is a Danish company making a fortune selling Ozempic to Americans for obesity while the Danish gov't doesn't advise its use for obesity. They advise diet & exercise.
🚨 RFK JR. EXPOSES OZEMPIC CORRUPTION - THEN TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO MAKE IT EVEN CHEAPER “Over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare at $1,500 a month. Most of them have taken money from the manufacturer - a European company called Novo Nordisk.”…
There are many well-documented cases in pharma reporting serious reproducibility issues — with some analyses finding that over 75% of published studies can’t be replicated. It’s true that pharma has a responsibility not to take academic findings at face value but to question and…
OpenAI just posted a detailed story on LinkedIn about using GPT-5 Pro to repurpose a drug, which I shared here a few days ago. There is an exciting follow-up as well: “With GPT-5 Pro, immunologist Dr. Oral Alpan of McLean, Va., is discovering new applications that existing…
A survey of 2,000 US adults found 1 in 5 experience postprandial bloating, yet over half consider it “normal”! Even among those who see it as potentially serious, more than a quarter avoid seeking care. Clear need for better public education and symptom awareness. #ACG2025
