We need more data but from my write up "...As creatine is an essential molecule in energy production for all cells, it also acts as “molecular battery,” wherein stored energy helps these essential immune cells from simply running out of steam to fight on." The “molecular battery" aspect no...

As always, risk/benefits exist. There's data to suggest creatine made cancar therapy more effective for example: https://brinkzone.com/creatine-as-cancer-fighter/ This is from a recent review also: Does creatine cause kidney damage/renal dysfunction? Questions and concerns involving creatine...

I do have a contraindication write up on creatine below. Elevated creatinine is not in itself an issue, and we know creatine is not "stressful" to the kidneys, but should not be ignored either. If it's elevated while on creatine, take a few weeks off, make sure to be well hydrated, and re test...

Hence the creatine graveyard, where various forms of creatine not CM go to die: https://brinkzone.com/the-creatine-grave-yard/

You won't give her thrush but you might cure it. I kid.

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling us you didn't read the article...

As COVID-19 is the current topic, I have condensed and updated my lactoferrin discussion specific to anti-viral effects of lactoferrin: 20 years ago (how time flies!) I wrote about the impressive anti-viral, anti microbial, anti caner, immune supporting effects of lactoferrin via Life...

Bump, In celebration of my up coming novella "Old And Angry" I have made part I of my highly rated Vacation Gone South series FREE today if interested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VPC7PPK/

A great example of why MDs should avoid giving nutritional advice as if the estrogen source from BC was the same as what's in soy. The bottom line is really the same: While I'm no fan of the Impossible Burger. It's complete nonsense. Same rules apply for all fast foods: occasionally is fine...

It's a good vid, but one really has to read between the lines of what she's saying, and she's not actually saying no one should take statins. Over prescribed, yes, possibly not as effective as some studies suggest, yes, and side effect profiles may be higher than reported, yes. She's not...

Good to hear! That's more as it should be in terms of which speciality should be up on the topic of TRT/HRT.

I'd harden a bit and say most endos truly suck at TRT/HRT. For what ever reason, Urologists tend to be much better, and even most internests, GP, etc are better at it. Knowledge of hormones is supposed to be their damn speciality, and to date, not met an endo who didn't outright suck at it. No...

Correlations are almost always what leads to understanding/discovery of mechanistisc pathaways and causation factors. All of the risk factors you're aware of were discovered via epi/correlational data. It's very difficult to do meaningful tghtly controlled RCTs in free living humans and CVD for...

In short, lipid levels still correlate to CVD. The moving target is which lipids, trg/LDL ratios, particle sizes and ratios, various confounders, etc. There's obviously other risk factors unrelated to lipid levels that dictate CVD or not, some of which we have control over, some of which we...

1, maybe, and worth trying, but genetic component rules all 2, try it and see what it does for your lipids, and proceed from there. Obviously, make sure to supplement CoQ10.
