@KatyMontgomerie @ElPolloDiabloX @AbigailShrier @chadfelixg Okay, so you haven't read the study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, you've read a Guardian story about it.

I have now read the study, and I teach critical appraisal as part of my job, so let's dive into it a bit.

New Cannabis Based Menu for Chao Phraya Hospital patients (service being rolled out to other hospitals too)
"This cannabis special menu is bringing different parts of the cannabis plant to use with leaves to cook as ingredients in food" #cannabis #Thailand

Whilst patients in the UK are still being denied with almost no progress with #NHS Amazing to see how much progress is being made with #cannabis as #medicine in #Thailand is the same 2 year period:

A Thread: 1/10 #Thailand allowed #cannabis #medicine in Jan 2019, 2 months after the UK.
NOW:
Is approved for 160+ conditions (everyone!)
Village doctors, clinics and hospitals can supply approved products or grow and produce their own, from nearly 100 approved formulas

2/10 - Average monthly prescription cost is £20-£30.
Educational programs started for the Medical Profession within 3 months, for many others at 6 months and school kids after a year. (Google Dr Ganja - see photo)

3/10 - Shortly they will launch a new policy for any individual or collectives to grow #cannabis for #medicine for themselves and any surplus material can be sold to the government for use in centralised production.

@73inlancs @janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 1/ The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 government decided pediatric gender care in England would be a monopoly contract (a Labour minister, in 2008), despite all other NHS patients officially being entitled to a choice of providers, & second opinions on diagnoses & treatment, & gave it to GIDS, which has…

@janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 2/…always advocated that trans minors & their families must have no alternative source of care, & subsequent Tory ministers have personally put their signature on renewals of it, and even personally rejected proposals for improvement that have been put forward by NHS England…

@janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 3/…as a result of wider & public consultation. They & their civil servants listen only to GIDS on trans minors - it was GIDS advised against <18s being allowed #GenderRecognition in 2004, & since, on the basis that no one under 18 can be certain of their gender identity, just…

@janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 4/…as many other staff at their trust wrote⬇️ to the press in 2002 (when the first instigator of this case, psychoanalyst Susan Evans was on staff too) that no trans people should be allowed that recognition but needed

@janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 5/…to "cure" us instead. Yet GIDS proved incapable of defending its super-conservative protocol in court - no doubt because GIDS has always expected challenges to be from patients seeking care more like that elsewhere, arrogantly ignoring that services in countries where the…

So many people don’t realize that they have OCD because actual obsessive compulsive disorder is rarely talked about openly. So here are the basics: 🧵(thread)

I think that a lot of people forget that OCD is a mental illness, emphasis on the MENTAL. When it’s portrayed on TV, it’s always shown as a very behavioral disorder. And while it’s true that overt behavioral compulsions are part of OCD, they don’t begin to tell the whole story

OCD stands for obsessive compulsive disorder. That’s obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. The OCD cycle is the cycle of obsessions that lead to compulsions that lead to more obsessions that lead to more compulsions etc etc etc.

People with OCD experience intrusive thoughts (which become obsessions.) Intrusive thoughts are unwanted and invasive, and they’re generally REALLY disturbing. It’s a common misconception that people with OCD are exclusively concerned with tidiness and cleanliness. This is false

TW/ OCD subtypes

Intrusive thoughts can be about anything, but there are a few common “subtypes” of obsessions. These include harm OCD, self harm OCD, sexual OCD, pedophelia OCD, relationship OCD, contamination OCD, religious OCD, moral OCD, health OCD and “just right”

My uncle passed away from cancer when I was 16 years old.

I’ve since spent 100’s of hours researching how to avoid and fight cancer naturally.

Here’s what I found:

1) Boost your stem cells

Your body slowly regenerates using stem cells.

Foods that promote stem cell growth:

• Seafood & fatty fish
• Berries (black, blue, raspberry)
• Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts

More stem cells = lower chance of cancer

Fasting is also a viable option for increasing your stem cells.

You could do a 24 hour fast once a week.

Or go extreme like my business partner @taylinsimmonds

And fast for 4-7 days at a time.

I’ll stick with 24 hours tops ;)

2) Hack DNA repair for longevity

To amplify DNA repair:

• Sleep 7+ hours
• Exercise regularly
• Try intermittent fasting

Natural DNA repair prevents your cells from mutating.

Eat foods that amplify DNA repair:

• Greens
• Mangoes
• Greek yogurt

The best cancer cure is prevention.

1. “Dr Tomas Ryan : Sociopath Or Psychopath : Or Both ?”

Answer = Both. Shortest Thread Ever. Only joking. Let’s jump in and try to see what makes Dr Tomas Ryan tick 🧵 1/21

2. Dr Tomas Ryan is a Neuroscientist at Trinity College Dublin. He has appeared on Claire Byrne Live, Prime Time & The Tonight Show in addition to radio appearances. He calls himself a Scholar on his Twitter bio.

3. He is part of the Zero Covid Cult Crew (ZCCC) out of that hallowed institute of learning, Trinity College Dublin. Other contemporaries of his in the merry little band are Luke O Neill, Kingston Mills & Aoife McLysaght.

4. Kingston Mills & Aoife McLysaght are staunch proponents of the Zero Covid strategy. Mills is an agenda contributor to the World Economic Forum and recently wrote an article for them entitled "Is reaching zero Covid-19

5. Did I forget to mention that TCD got funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation for Vaccine development to the tune of $230,000. Tomas was also sponsored by Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to complete his Phd in Cambridge. Let's just say he has connections to Big Pharma
