🧵PRE-ORDER! Out May 20! GOING MENOPOSTAL: What you (and your doctor) need to know about the real science of menopause and perimenopause We women in menopause and perimenopause are getting healthcare based on medical myth, not evidence. GOING MENOPOSTAL is my mission to change that. (🧵 1 of 5)

“Among those who commented was @JoyceCarolOates,” writes @Michaeljos92972 below. “She wrote: ‘…though it is not a solace to be told that you are not alone, in fact you are NOT alone; grief is a vast tide.’ Those words stayed with me. Not because they made me feel better. They didn't. But because I knew they came from someone who understood.” Below is Michael’s review of book I must get—not because I can read it now (too sick from malpractice)—but because I desperately WANT to read it. Joyce Carol Oates’ “A Widow’s Story: A Memoir” I am fighting so hard every day to survive this and LIVE. And being desperate to read this (truly) and SEEING Joyce’s physical book out in my living room waiting for me, will move me to keep fighting with everything I have.

Two icons of freedom and free speech. Two survivors of Islamist terrorism. Two nightmares for the ayatollahs. Two heroes. @AlinejadMasih @SalmanRushdie

What a sicko you are, @sundarpichai, presiding over AI that harms users for profit through lies and provoking anger for repeat engagment. I'm at risk of death from medical malpractice and I worked really hard today to crawl out of my crushing fatigue to see if I needed to look at the update and send in the facts TODAY to dispute @MHEducation's truly sick attempts to get @AnthropicAI settlement money I am entitled to with the false claim that my consumer fiction book, I SEE RUDE PEOPLE, was an education book. They know it is not; they had closed their trade consumer fiction division just before my book came out and only released it through Education division because it still existed. Nobody used a book with profanity and cheeky acts and me as 50 ft woman on cover as a textbook! Nobody. Consumer bookstores, consumer reviews on @goodreads etc., consumer, consumer, consumer. I can't stop lying Google AI from coming up at the top of my browser and I saw Google AI posted a bunch of rotten lies (I thought), so I (ugh) engaged with it because it made me panic even with that I thought seemed to be lies. How rich do you need to be you monster? Harming users for profit by keeping us repeatedly engaged -- with lies and by provoking fear and anger. How many children died today because Google's lies about medical questions were believed by their parents? You are rich and famous and a malignant psychopathic worm.

My god, this is horrific.

Just before stepping onto the stage, Farideh asked me a simple question: “Should I leave my hair down, or tie it back?” I said let it go.. but my heart broke. She can no longer see her own reflection in the mirror. She still wants to look beautiful, to stand tall, and to be seen. Farideh was blinded in both her eyes by the Islamic Republic during the uprising in 2022, in Sanandaj. She’s a hero and that is why I invited her to join our delegation in Poland while I receive an award. With Farideh joining us, our delegation now carries three women blinded under Islamic regimes. Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband blinded her, just for women’s rights activities. And Kosar was only 22 years old when she took to the street after the murder of Mahsa Jina Amini in the hand of morality Police, shouting for freedom. The Islamic Republic shot her in the face and took one of her eyes. Yesterday we visited Auschwitz. I walked where millions of innocent people were murdered. We could not hold back our tears. And you know what broke my heart even more? The dictators and oppressors who commit crimes against humanity are the same ones who deny the Holocaust in our country. The Islamic Republic denies the Holocaust, they even hold cartoon contests mocking it, while they are committing their own crimes against our people in the streets of Iran. This is what evil does. It denies the crimes of others while committing its own. That is why we must never be silent. We must speak, we must document, we must bear witness, so the world cannot say we did not know. And at the end, I want to thank Poland for opening your doors to these brave women, for standing with us, for giving us this platform so the voices of the blinded women of Iran and Afghanistan can be heard. Poland knows the price of freedom, and that is why freedom echoes here. My dream is to take these bra women to university campuses in Europe in America to tell the truth what it means living under Islamic Stats. Hear Our Stories! @FahimaSarfaraz @kosareftekharii

I am not Jewish. But I am a proud Israeli citizen. I live in Tel Aviv. Despite the world having extremely opinionated views about the country I live in, few people I have come across on X (that don’t live here) know little of substance about Israel apart from their warped sense of history and reality. This is the first post of a series I will write entitled Everything You Think You Know About Israel is (Probably) Wrong. The points are not in any particular order. Spread the word. Most Israelis (just over 50%) are not white. The devastating impact on European Jews of the Holocaust meant that the newly formed Israel in 1948 was largely populated by Jews fleeing persecution in Muslim-ruled countries predominantly in the Middle East and North Africa. These are known as Mizrahi Jews and when the State of Israel was formed they made up 80% of the Jewish population living here. Jews have had a continuous presence in the land of Israel since around 1208 BCE, that’s 3,200 years — long before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The Muslim faith, in contrast, dates back 1,400 years (610 CE). Yes, when they lost majority rule in the 7th-century Muslim conquest they were not in the majority for centuries, but still lived in their ancestral homeland. Arab terrorism against Jews existed before 1948. In 1929, for example, 67 Jews were killed in the Hebron massacre, attacked and slaughtered by the Arabs they lived and worked beside. My wife’s great-grandfather Ben-Zion Gershon (who was a local doctor that often treated the Arab community without accepting payment) was tortured, had both his eyes gouged out and was then murdered. This was after his daughter Esther was raped in front of him, and his wife Zahava had both arms chopped off and was left to die. This was just one of many similar massacres inflicted on Jews that day. I will continue this series over the coming days.

Amazing—“bullets” that do not lead to bleeding!

Pastor Solomon did this interview with a Nigerian Christian child after one of the worst attacks by Islamic terrorist groups there. He wants to world to see this. "My name is Unity Moses, I come from Borneo Tribe." "Where are your parents?" "My father, when Boko Haram invaded our village, my father went to defend but they killed him." (Her mother, Pastor Moses said, survived but is now paralyzed on one side and using crutches). "Is Boko Haram attacking your village?" "All the time" Please pray for Unity Moses 🙏 Boko Haram is an Islamist militant and terrorist group founded in Maiduguri, Nigeria, in 2002. The group aims to overthrow the Nigerian government, reject Western influence and education, and establish a strict Sharia-based Islamic state across the Lake Chad Basin💔💔

Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates. She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range. The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France.

Hayim Katsman was an American citizen, a PhD, and a peace activist who made his home on Kibbutz Holit and stood guard for Palestinian families in the South Hebron Hills. He was a 32-year-old with his entire life ahead of him. Yet on October 7 Hamas murdered him in his own home as he shielded his neighbor — because Hamas does not care who you are or what you believe — only that you are a Jew.

Tonight, as I was leaving a restaurant on 14th Street in New York around 10 p.m., this Muslim woman took a prayer rug and a niqab out of the trunk of her car, put the niqab on, laid the prayer rug down, and started praying on the street. I grew up as a Muslim in the Islamic world, and let me tell you: this is absolutely part of an organized effort to flood the public square in the West with Islamic symbolism. First of all, there is no Islamic prayer at 10 p.m. Even if she missed the Isha prayer, which takes place earlier in the evening, she has until dawn to make it up. So why choose to pray on the street at 10 p.m.? Second, a Muslim woman who does not wear a niqab or hijab in her daily life would never normally have a niqab sitting in the trunk of her car. She is clearly not strict enough to wear it every day, so why would she suddenly be so strict about missing a prayer that she carries a niqab in her trunk specifically for this purpose? Third, in almost any Islamic country, you would never see a woman praying on the street at 10 p.m. This would be completely unacceptable. If she were genuinely worried about praying, she could simply wait until she got home, especially since a missed Isha prayer can be made up before dawn. I can tell you with full confidence that these scenes we keep seeing of Muslims praying in the streets of the West are intentional. They serve to assert dominance, normalize Islam in the public square, seize ground, and demand exceptional treatment that immediately turns into claimed rights. Bad-faith acts like this are signals of the same project that turned many cities in Europe into shitholes. Exceptional threats demand exceptional measures. Islam must be banned in the West because it is not a religion; it is a hostile political ideology. Until that happens, the West will continue losing ground to this ideology every single day.

Did you know that one of the most effective treatments for Parkinson's disease, levodopa, may also be obtained from a plant? In this video, I discuss an important challenge facing the Parkinson's community: millions of people around the world lack reliable access to this essential medication. We explore the potential of plant-based sources of levodopa, including Mucuna pruriens, and how researchers are investigating ways to make treatment more accessible and affordable. The challenge is not simply growing a plant. It is finding safe, reliable ways to deliver consistent doses of levodopa to people who need it. Plant-based preparations are not yet a standardized replacement for prescription levodopa. I believe that where you live or how much money you have should never determine whether you can receive effective Parkinson's treatment. Levodopa for all should be a global priority. piped.video/shorts/9N_La16hj…

Awareness Day Oct 22: NEWS! FQAD – EU Parliament hearing to take place in November! Our floxed friends in Germany, FQAD Working Group, recently shared news of a promising development in their efforts to have FQAD* recognized through a dedicated ICD diagnosis code for the entire EU. They are asking for support from the global community. Please see below on how to help. Their November 5th hearing at the European Parliament could help build momentum for recognition elsewhere, including here in the United States. Although the United States now has codes for adverse effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, FQAD was not a condition the CDC would recognize. We wish the FQAD Working Group a victory and encourage support of their efforts. 🌍Petition Summary: The petitioner wishes to raise awareness of the severe, multisystemic condition known as Fluoroquinolone Associated Disability (FQAD), caused by the use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. The petitioner argues that the disease is far from “rare” and that thousands of patients across Europe suffer irreversible damage, some even resorting to suicide. A public hearing on quinolones was held by the EMA on 13 June 2018, after which the agency issued warnings about long-term, potentially permanent side effects. Since then, further studies have confirmed the toxicity, yet the EU still lacks a dedicated primary ICD code for FQAD, preventing proper medical treatment and social security recognition. In Germany, Dr Stefan Pieper’s 2020 book and his unsuccessful proposal for an ICD code, the petitioner argues, illustrate the systemic neglect; only a secondary “callout” code (Y57.90!) was introduced in 2026, which does not enable targeted care. The petitioner cites divergent estimates of affected individuals: the German health insurance institute AOK’s WIdO counted at least 40 000 harmed patients in 2018, while the EMA’s PRAC estimated only 3 000 EU cases per year. Independent analyses suggest up to 400 000 Europeans could be impacted annually. The petitioner requests answers from the EMA and the European Parliament on whether recent data are being monitored, what research has been commissioned, and whether the 20202024 study on label changes constitutes a final solution. The petitioner demands a reevaluation of fluoroquinolone safety, the creation of a specific primary ICD code for FQAD, and concrete measures to protect patients and prevent further harm.

How would you treat type 2 diabetes if diabetes medications and insulin had never been invented? 🤔 You guessed it. You’d stop eating the foods that send your blood sugar through the roof. So why aren’t we starting there? Modern medicine has convinced millions of people that they have a medication deficiency instead of a metabolic problem driven largely by what’s on their plate.

I was walking through Boston when I found myself cheering out loud for Yale. Yes, Yale. Its new report did something almost unthinkable for an elite university: honestly confronted some of academia’s biggest problems. I was thrilled. And then I made a terrible mistake.

Gross. Awful.
