Evidence-Based Information and Analysis
A visually normal stomach can hide significant damage—only systematic gastric mapping (updated Sydney protocol) reveals the true extent of atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and cancer risk. This article gives the information you need to get the correct testing.
Anemia has multiple causes. The cofactors that affect it are interactive, individual, and context-dependent. Anemia merely indicates that blood isn’t carrying enough oxygen; it is not a disease in itself. Treating it without first identifying the underlying cause is a common source of treatment failure and, sometimes, actual harm. Part 1: Types of Anemia Type … Read more
A practical guide for renting a room in your home, especially when children live there.
Inflammation elevates ferritin and hides true iron deficiency. This summary covers how clinicians diagnose ID in CKD, heart failure, liver disease, and rheumatologic conditions, and when oral iron gives way to IV.
Iron deficiency and pernicious anemia both result from destruction of parietal cells. Gastritis destroys parietal cells.
The role of proteolytic and fibrinolytic enzymes after trauma. This article summarizes the evidence for reducing pain, inflammation, and edema, supporting tissue repair, and managing specific injury-related risks.
Helminthic therapy and the immune systems
In 2008 I was bedridden. Rheumatoid arthritis was so severe that I could eat only if someone else cooked, and get to doctor’s appointments only with help. Standard treatment clawed back function slowly, over years. I was functioning — out of bed, working part time. Better; not well. This was my baseline for over a decade.
In 2020 I started using therapeutic hookworms. Within a year, the difference was total. My days were full, I had energy. Some inflammatory markers settled into normal ranges. The RA was under control for the first time since diagnosis. Three good years followed. I felt healthy.
Complex medical care often requires active management by the patient — catching a misdiagnosis, questioning a badly fitted splint, and coordinating specialists who never speak to each other.
This piece is a companion to Pain Control and Healing: Using Anti-inflammatory Medications. That article covers what a general reader needs to know about anti-inflammatories during recovery. This one is for anyone who wants to see why the underlying science is genuinely unsettled, not just simplified for the sake of a shorter article.
A close analysis of NSAID research reveals why the “avoid anti-inflammatories after surgery” advice is more contested than most people realize, and what the evidence quality gap actually shows.
