Alright /med/fags we haven't had a thread in a few weeks, but something has caught my attention and I want to discuss it with you. The following study:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945755/

says the increase of celiac desease in recent years is due to the use of Roundup in crops. I actually took time to read the whole thing and they make some good points, but there are some red flags I encountered as well which are as follows:

1.Most of their claims are based on animal models
2.Most claims are on level of hypothesis without experiments to back up said hypothesis
3.One of the researchers has mostly ophtalmology papers and all of a sudden two glyphosphate papers
4.The other researcher is a computer science expert
5.They are so certain of their claims in the conclusion they state that this is sufficient evidence while other papers I've read always say "more research is needed"
7. Celiac desease existed before monsanto and roundup.

Are they legit or they actually let conspiracy theorists publish this? And if this is real isn't it supposed to be a whole different desease?

For newcomers the /med/ thread is a thread about the medical profession and all those involved in it. Pseudoscience and antimedicine shilling is forbidden. Cases, scientific studies and novlety discussions are encouraged. Exam complaining and sharing of health problems is frowned upon, but not forbidden.

Depends. Are you anxious? Drinking (alcohol), eating, and watching a comedy is a pretty reliable way of shifting from sympathetic to parasympathetic. Feed and breed not fight or flight. Some allegedly "psychological" issues can be solved by purely physical means.

If you're calm, and you can get decent erections in private, then it's not a health issue. More likely you need to go on nofap. You may have raised your standards for sexual stimulation too high.

In the meantime, zinc with dinner and a discrete packet of cialis in your back pocket should make life easier.

Unless you have delayed ejaculation, in which case you have the same problem as me. I haven't solved it.

I'm taking citicoline to promote growth of dopamine receptors (so far it's just caused me to read books more efficiently and persistently), vitamin B6 to reduce prolactin, and yohimbe (because I don't know where to get bupropion or even yohimbine,) nofapping, and generally trying to keep it together. It's frustrating, because not ejaculating makes the girl feel guilty.

I can get full mast in the most random of places and it holds itself for a good 10 minutes. But since that failure happened he won't get up at all.
About the porn, I'm not even addicted to it, I would watch it like 2 or 3 times a month. I would fap more frequently, though, like once or twice a week. I already decided to stop it to clear up my mind, she also agreed to wait while I recover, which is nice.
>In the meantime, zinc with dinner and a discrete packet of cialis in your back pocket should make life easier.
My diet is already zinc rich, so I guess I don't need any supplements, right? Now cialis... I'm 22, I don't think I should be taking this kind of medication right now.

That's good for social situations, but physically speaking, anxiety and erections don't mix.

The feeling of discouragement may be the same thing as a fall in testosterone, with attendant lowering of sexual desire.

>My diet is already zinc rich, so I guess I don't need any supplements, right?
I suppose you should be fine if you don't have white spots on your fingernails. That would indicate a deficiency. But zinc is good for your health, libido, testosterone, etc, /fit/ is all over it.

It's not very good for your heart, anyway. And if you're uncertain about using it due to the stigma, then it wouldn't improve your mood.

Yes. Well, give it time to digest.

It results in a state of introspection and calm focus. Not so good if you want to haggle in marketplace, but perfect for private study.

I'm around 65kg and 250mg is my sweet spot. Take in in the morning, or else you'll just quietly and calmly introspect with your eyes shut instead of sleeping. I know this because I once took it at midnight to see if it would effect my dreams.

It's worth pointing out that the key component of citicoline may be cytidine, which is closely related to uridine. Choline, the other component, is pretty common, in large quantities, in things like eggs or fish. Longecity.org is where I get most of my nootropic anecdotes and information.

I'd also say that it's good for nofap, but it doesn't work miracles. You need to keep a certain distance from your fap folder. If you don't fall down the slippery slope, then you often forget to fap at all.

>do pharmanons get good pay?
Typically, but lucrative pharm positions are few and far between unless you're in a big metro area. You'll probably never find a comfy, easy retail pharm job because so many old hats stay there until they're 75 since it's easy on the joints and makes ungodly amounts of money. You might find hospital positions or spots in clinical research if you're leaning in that direction but I think by moving from BPharms to PharmDs as a requirement they probably want more people going into academia afterwards in some way or another.

It depends on the setting. I work with an NP in a large clinic, and the NPs are great because they do a lot of the grunt work which makes me feel a bit guilty at times. But I am a bit envious of them because they are union-protected and their pay is really good for their workload.

The NPs in hospitals who have BS roles like "diabetes educator" or "Care Coordinator" are totally useless. They try to make their jobs seem like they are more important than they really are - yet nothing gets done by them.

I'm not an expert, but I've done some reading on anti-depressants.

SSRIs like sertraline mainly act on serotonin. If you're not responding well to it, then maybe switch to something that doesn't deal with serotonin directly.
Bupropion (Wellbutrin) doesn't raise serotonin, so maybe in your case it wouldn't cause a depressive side-effect. Instead it raises dopamine and adrenaline, acting more as a stimulant-type anti-depressant.

I know this because I'm delayed ejaculation anon from a few posts back, and I was looking into something to make me more interested in sex. Because I am a massive degenerate, I've experimented with some serotonergic drugs, and interestingly, they cause extremely delayed ejaculation for the duration of the trip, and sometimes prevent it entirely. So naturally when I started looking for an anti-depressant, I wanted to avoid anything that raises serotonin. This led me to read up on yohimbe, yohimbine, and bupropion/wellbutrin.

I was also the one asking about a pounding pulse even further back, because I'm currently on yohimbe. 500mg yohimbe is probably enough to make jogging dangerous, let alone sex. I think the dose is too high, so I have ordered 2.5mg capsules of yohimbe extract (yohimbine). Also P-5-P to take the place of the plain B6 I've been taking. If anyone wants to offer advice or recommend anything, I'd be glad to hear it.

You do switch, but you actually try 2-3 different SSRIs first. For some reason, the way we metabolize them and react to them is different for everyone.

Hi guys. I plan on pursuing a degree in clinical psychology and a neuroscience professor I’m doing undergraduate research with has told me to look into schools with prescription privileges.

Since psychiatry seldom utilizes psychotherapy anymore, there is a push for clinical psychologists to be able to attain a license to prescribe certain medications in like five or six states. It makes some sense that the therapist who sees a client more frequently than the psychiatrist should be able to prescribe, and there seems to be a lack of psychiatrists nowadays. However, I’ve heard good opinions against allowing clinical psychologists to prescribe.

What do some actual medical doctors think about this? Any psychiatrists want to weigh in?

The lack of psychiatrists is real, most of the patient work is done by psychiatric nurses and clinical psychologists, my work mainly consists of figuring out the suitable medication and signing off everybody's work.

I personally don't think prescribing therapists are a very good thing, it makes a holistic approach very difficult. The therapist has very little understanding of medical conditions outside of psychiatry, fairly weak knowledge about pharmacology, again outside of the medications they are allowed to prescribe. I deal with a lot of patients with many somatic conditions in addition to the psychiatric ones, so a working knowledge of medicine is essential.

Clinical psychologists are good for therapy and assisting in diagnosis. The ideal solution would be more psychiatrists, but the field doesn't seem very attractive to many for some reason, even though the money and hours are good.

Glyphosate has been well studied for a very long time and has repeatedly been found to be quite toxic at doses you'd encounter with chronic consumption. There is no "conspiracy", it's plain fact and has been for years. There's also the matter of endogenous toxin synthesis genetically upregulated in the plant.

Celiac disease is probably caused by certain processes which can be triggered and sustained by many agents. A low fiber diet will predispose for celiac, as will repeated antibiotic use or inflammation of the gut.

Okay follow up question: Is med school worth it to be a psychiatrist?

I am graduating this December and I will be applying next fall to graduate school for clinical psychology, or medical school. I had a rocky start as an undergrad (Mainly B's, some A's, nothing under that however). Over my final 2 years in advanced statistics/psychology/neuroscience classes I've maintained straight A's. I've helped with undergraduate research for over a year, and have presented at some undergraduate neuroscience and psychological conventions in the midwest. I have a lot of interest in conducting and presenting research and being a psychotherapist.

However, I have an insatiable desire to push myself in academia. I want to go to the next level. Being a psychiatrist is becoming more attractive than a clinical psychologist. I am an obsessive guy when I get passionate about something, and a few years ago I realized that my passion is school.

On top of that, way back in the beginning as an undergrad I dropped a chemistry class that had a horrible professor (ended up getting fired), and I only got a B in anatomy and physiology 1. However this was before I really start applying myself in school, and I could always go back and re take those classes. Would this be an issue if I wanted to go to med school? I also have a GF I am making long term plans with, and I have some friends going to med school who have been told that relationships should be put off if you consider going down this route.

I am sorry for the blog post, I've been really confused as to what I want as of late. I always find some comfort talking about these issues on 4chan of all fucking places.

The reason is that EMFs can yield pathological effects, but often are not, and in many ways cannot, be studied like a exogenous toxin.

An example. Sleep disturbance has been reported from many angles over decades, and from many countries. Henry Lai et al of University of Washington researched how pulsed 2.45GHz fields altered central cholinergic activity. It was found that the changes were blocked upstream via pharmacological inhibition of u-opioid receptors, which prompted connections with the 1950's Russian idea that most central effects were redox reactions secondary to field transduction by the skin. And this was evaluated for a while. Later it was found the the opioid system activity was triggered by activation of corticotropin releasing factor. This was a decade later. Lai published a review of this process, and the research on classical conditionability of microwave response, and microwave effects on drug actions (ethanol, dextroamphetamine, pentobarbital, etc). This was after his and Singh's (developer of the more sensitive version of the "comet assay") highly controversial report on double and single strand DNA breaks in the brains of mice, and subsequent study on working memory deficits. Industry (mostly telecom) and military (via Brooks airforce base) came down on quickly. The field was mired with manufactured controversy again. The review by Martin Pall goes into why in EMF study it's uniquely easy to make it look like you're studying something you're not just based on your exposure setup.

Anyway. A lot of effects are often lumped together in papers, there were many important symposiums over the last 60 years. There are reviews of the eastern European and Russian literature. You could and should write a whole paper on any individual type of effect.

The title alone often doesn't indicate the scope of the paper. A paper with a loosely related title may include one of the most comprehensive summaries of an area and history.

Refer to the WHO's Environmental Health Criteria 16, 1984. Their disposition was pretty clear at the time, and they tacked on some fairly unsubstantiated and inappropriate comments at various points insisting that certain observations "must be thermal", when fields of that intensity both at that time, and modern day, clearly cannot heat tissue enough to trigger any response, non-uniform heating or otherwise. In vivo, ex vivo, in vitro. Whatever, the result is the same. Overall it was a solid and legitimate review, but that stubborn slant correctly indicated where they would head. And modern day, they did. You must remember that the WHO is a political organization. Several countries and powerful interests, including the EU, have invested millions into 5G R&D, and the 5G market is estimated to be worth over 10 trillion over the next 5 years of growth. You really think they're going to let that go? Yeah, right.

Further, if you look at the 6 person panel of engineers that control the WHO's EMF stance, 4 of them are active ICNIRP members, 1 is a former member, the other is affiliated with industry in other ways. ICNIRP is an industry affiliated NGO.

On a recent expedition by many scientists to appeal to this panel and highlight conflicts of interest, one of them wore an exposure meter calibrated to common field / modulation characteristics. The readings in that part of the WHO revealed no signals of any kind, aside from the faint signal of a cell tower at the periphery of the building. No active cell phones. No wifi. They know it's bad and exert control over their environment accordingly. They're Judas goats.
That review is here:

I will upload that WHO document for you, and include some other reviews by NASA etc of that time.

Oh. Stated explicitly, I don't know where you've been digging, but you've come to an inaccurate conclusion. The bulk of the available data contradicts the WHO, ICNIRP, etc's stances, which are not scientific but political. A small number of those are genuine negative results, the rest are "it don't do nothin', no effect" literature pollution by industry or military affiliated labs. The corruption process has actually been documented by researchers who were approached this way, like Adey and Phillips of UCLA's brain research institute. All industry cares about is muddying the water so they can buy time to get people irreversibly hooked.

Invalidate components of his papers then. Publish a critique, a counter. Wait, nobody did that. In fact, his original EMF paper has been cited 100+ times, without anyone finding cause or means to criticize it. Not a common affair in this field.

>MSG
Source?

I've read everything I could find his name on. If he's talked about MSG I haven't seen it. If he's published on it, it's not indexed properly. You might be thinking of Blaylock. There's no real fault in his papers either.

Its not a crazy idea.

We live in a bat shit crazy world to be dumping this shit on our food supply. But then again do you know how much food would cost if they had to hand weed those fields?

But consider: the active ingredient is a plant hormone similar in structure and function to hormones that exist in all plants that do things like regulate growth.

>Things that hardly bothered my parents' generation are now commonplace.

Lets bring Ag into the discussion. It was around world war II that industrial Ag really took off. 100 years ago there was little use of anything created in a laboratory.

Today you might put pesticides in the soil before you plant. On the seeds. After you plant. After they emerge. Before they flower. During the fruiting. After the harvest. Fungicides, Bactericides, Insecticides. Some of these chemicals are very toxic. Glyphosate by contrast is fairly innocuous vs some of this other stuff. This shit is so nasty you have to wear a hazmat suit.

> increased risk to kidney failure in agricultural workers exposed to excess glyphosate occupationally

And what the fuck were all those chemicals? Those pesticides? What happens? They go into the environment. How many novel, unstudied chemicals have entered the living environment, let alone, the food. We know its in the food chain.

What I see here is a pre-existing condition that can become active and produce symptoms in a delayed fashion in patients that have a leaky gut lining. Cause and effect are hard to observe here.

tl;dr Epidemiology is hard. Celiac is complicated. Chemicals everywhere in the food chain. Eat organic.

>Not strong enough
You mean the field? Transduction of signals well below the threshold of thermal noise has been repeatedly demonstrated experimentally as far back as the 1920's. More modern research has revealed calcium influx, and chronically elevated intracellular calcium. Refer the studies I've linked and following their citations. A number of models have been proposed to explain this, despite knowing the reasons changing very little in terms of the biological endpoints.

>Exercise does same thing
Within physiological bounds. Calcium pumps / sarcoplasmic reticulum are able to maintain proper calcium flux, and NO generation goes down the correct cGMP generation pathway, rather the generating peroxynitrite, H2O2, and so on, which rapidly depletes glutathione, SOD, etc.

Exercise does not do the same thing or take a comparable course. It is very different.

>Sneezing
No, elevated circulating histamine. Mast cells in the skind o release it, and opioids to a degree, but there are other processes at work. Histamine is a very broad signalling molecule.

>Coincidental
Not when you consider clear mechanistic links and the ability to induce behavioral changes in children by exposing them to unshielded / non-grounded fluorescent lights. The latency is reliably ~40 minutes. Histological analysis of mice exposed to standard fluorescent lights revealed cell death and clear neurodegeneration in a number of regions, but particularly the dentate gyrus. A commonality with mobile phones.

>Not strong enough
For what. Induction and heating? NO synthesis, calcium flux, and binding of various hormones is altered in ELF / VLF fields as weak as 5.6uT.

Statistical significance. Generally p < 0.05 is a standard cutoff for many assays, but varies depending on the field and type of correction.

In lay, p = 0.05 means there's a 95% chance it's significant result (i.e. two groups are different for some measurement)

In reality, it's the probability that you would observe this difference between two groups of patients if they were from one population, i.e. if they were not different.

It takes a bit to wrestle with this stuff, but proper statistical interpretation and experimental design is critical for all types of hypothesis treating and research.

Ancient societies always saw disease as something wrong. But modern societies are treating disease as normal, because there is a whole industry that thrives on it.

One of the largest industries on the planet is pharmaceuticals, which means there is too much lousy soup. Every day, you have to add something to it to make it nice. If you are willing, we can make this into a wonderful soup, without external chemicals. Once your chemistry is in a fantastic state, to be blissful will be natural. That way, 70% of the ailments could vanish from the planet. For the remaining 30%, there are many external influences, which are not always in your control. But what you are doing from within can be 100% in your control.

If you are constantly creating a nasty chemistry within you, how is life within you supposed to understand you are seeking wellbeing? It will assume you like ailments and will give them to you. Some people may have a robust system that will take a lot of beating – some people will fall at the very first assault. But if you are poisoning your system from within through the thoughts and emotions that you generate, sooner or later, it will get you.

No, but that is one of it's applications. CRISPR/Cas9 is a molecular technique that can create cuts in a specific sequence of DNA . If you target the Cas9 nuclease to a sequence of a gene that has a defect and then provide a template of DNA with the correct sequence, the cells DNA repair machinery will use the template DNA provided to repair the site of the cut. This will remove the mutation that was associated with the defective gene.

Do doctors get paid for how often they refer patients to diagnostic imaging, blood testing, specialists, etc.? Or do they lose money overall?
There's a doc in my area who may be sacked after 4 patients of his either died or became seriously ill due to his refusal to have patients go for MRI, C-scope, ultrasound, etc. testing.
If this was all over money, I don't see why this guy decided to become a doctor in the first place.

The doctor ignored 2 patients with bowel changes, black stool, abdominal pain, and weight loss among other symptoms. Both are now dead after they eventually sought out a second opinion that revealed they had stage 3-4 colon cancer. He also ignored a patient with a lump in the breast, where the patient has since undergone a total mastectomy after another doc ordered a mammogram and ultrasound that revealed breast cancer.
Doesn't the doc have more to loose by not referring the patient who obviously may have something serious going on?

If you want to be a doctor they should make you hang out in an ER where people are getting really fucked up and almost dieing and watching the other doctors either handle it or freak out and fuck up before you even get to do a rotation
I've been to the hospital a SHITLOAD because I get seizures and I've almost died a ton of times and seeing the doctors get scared is some bad shit
honestly the dudes I think have the biggest nuts are the EMTs that have a shitload of experience and are not retards and know what to do or somehow must be prior military w/ combat experience or something
the other retard EMTs are scary as fuck as well you think they or the shitty docs might fuck up and kill you

also hearing/seeing say someone getting rolled in that got shot in the stomach and is screaming death is probably a pretty good indication of if you want to be a doc or not.

I think most people here are just in it for the $$$ and probably should have no fucking place practicing medicine or being a "lowly" EMT or nurse or any part in the hospital. Someone with true grit and balls of steel is what you need.

Not a bunch of reddit/4chan fags who will probably fuck up and kill you.

I'm pretty doubtful that it will ever be used clinically in adults. There are just too many cells in a developed organism to try and edit them all. The most interesting potential application is in editing sex cells (sperm/eggs) to try and correct mutations before they are propagated throughout the entire body of an organism.
