19.01.2022 Patients with deficient vitamin D levels who had their vitamin D treatment increased did not appear to have increased risk for COVID-19. This suggests a "protective effect of treatment, but the confidence intervals on estimated rates for these groups are too wide to exclude the possibility of no treatment effect," Meltzer and colleagues note. "If vitamin D does reduce COVID-19 incidence, it is tempting to consider whether it might reduce COVID-19 transmission," they hypothesi...ze. Because vitamin D strengthens innate immunity it could be expected to decrease COVID-19 infection and transmission. Vitamin D also affects zinc metabolism, which decreases replication of coronaviruses. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/936928

13.01.2022 Courage and why it is essential for self-awareness and care of others. Please add your own thoughts in comments. They will be so welcome. I hope that these... prompts will be helpful to you, whatever your circumstances, in considering this most vital quality. It takes courage to face the facts of our shared, inevitable mortality. What would you do differently if you came to terms with how fleeting life is? It takes courage to keep the faith in the positive qualities in our human family when we see so much harm that’s rewarded. Can you check what you pay most attention to? And how warmly you are responding to courage when you witness it in small daily matters, especially? It takes courage to stand up for others. It often takes courage to stand up for ourselves. It takes courage to remain accountable...and to willingly address our mistakes, even years later. It takes courage to forgive...and be forgiven. Are there any hidden corners where you could shine a light, to benefit yourself as well as others? It takes courage to attend to what’s needed when there is NO external reward or acknowledgement. (There are intrinsic benefits always. Can you let yourself feel them?) It takes courage to be thoughtful, kind, considerate - particularly when you feel depleted. It takes courage to give other people the benefit of the doubt and to let resentments go. It takes courage to get out of bed when you are bereft of hope or grievingBUT THAT IS ALSO THE TIME WHEN YOU FIND COURAGE. It takes courage to change your behaviour. Or your mind (attitude, perspective). It takes enormous courage to give up a dependency or addiction one day at a time. It takes courage to look at what’s limiting your potential, where you are ruled by behaviours rather than freely choosing. It takes courage to stand back and look at the consequences of your choicesto own themand to do better when that’s needed. It takes courage to investigate your thoughts and to know where they are taking you. It takes courage and self-respect to look into conflict and figure out how to think about the issues differently. It takes magnificent courage some days to choose life; it is ALWAYS worth it. It takes courage to ask for help (we all need help) and to receive it. Peace and courage wherever it is needed today. And true openness of heart.

12.01.2022 DO DOCTORS HAVE A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE? The answer to this is complicated. Certainly individual doctors have a duty to ensure equity of access to their services and to avoid unjust discrimination. But addressing determinants like poverty, unemployment or education are beyond the reach of most doctors. The welfare and education systems or the job market reflect political decisions; these are aspects of our... socio-economic condition that are structured by the ideology and actions of governments. It’s not possible for individual doctors to alleviate local poverty or increase the educational standards through their own individual actions. Thus although the link between social determinants and health is strong, it is not clear that there is an equally strong responsibility for doctors to take action because there is a paucity of effective actions to take. The power to change the social determinants of health lies largely with governments. Let us turn now to climate change. Like social determinants, the changing climate increasingly impacts human health, putting it within scope as something for which the medical profession should take some responsibility. What about power to act? Do doctors have the power to exert meaningful action on climate change? Clearly at one level, it is the task of governments to set climate policies across various areas including energy, transport, agriculture and so on. But the government is not the only actor that can exert meaningful change. Industries, individual companies and citizens can and are taking action on the climate. Because there is a range of possible actions on climate change, there is greater scope for doctors to act. These actions might be on the individual level, just as taking a medical student is an individual response to the responsibility to educate. The actions might be as little as signalling concern about climate change. By signalling, I mean acts that communicate to others a concern about the issue in question. As a profession, doctors can draw urgent attention to the links between climate change and health, call for companies or industries to take action, lobby governments on behalf of patient cohorts who are increasingly affected by climate change and so on. Doctors have the knowledge and the power to act on a problem that threatens human health. We need to embrace this a central collective responsibility, on a par with education, and take action.

08.01.2022 RESEARCH is so very important for advancement of science . Our very own Woolcock Institute is trialing CBD/THC oil for insomnia What kind of medicine do you want to see in the world? Have you ever suffered from insomnia?... After a long struggle with insomnia last year, I saw a post on @drminyeo Facebook page about a sleep study to understand how the brain works using using CBD oil with THC to help with intractable insomnia. I had the first overnight stay this week and it was very interesting! My husband thought maybe I was having a bit of a break from the three children, but it was definitely not a break! Not only did it take over two hours to put the high density electroencephalography cap on, but wearing it for 24 hours and completing multiple cognitive tasks, a driving simulator, multiple blinded drug tests and three efforts of trying to stay awake while reclining in bed staring at the wall - for 40 mins at a time! Anastasia Suraev is running a clinical trial at The Woolcock Institute of Medical Research in association with The Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapies The study is titled ‘A Single-Dose, Double-Blinded, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Pilot Study of 20:1 Cannabidiol Tetrahydrocannabinol (CBD:THC) in Primary Insomnia Disorder I love the idea of supporting natural medicine efforts and am looking forward to the follow up stay in a fortnight to see whether I can discern which time was the drug and which time will be the placebo... What do you think I had this time?? Stay tuned for the final verdict in a fortnight! #naturalmedicine #sleepstudy #cbd #cbdwellness #drugtest #insomnia #medicalresearch #woolcockinstitute #sydneyuniversity #lampertinitiative #cannabinoidtherapies #thcforsleep #medicalcannabis #cbdoilbenefits #anastasiasuraev

08.01.2022 Thank you Sarah Wilson We will indeed need to do our own research and demand more truth. But we will also need to defer to and respect science to do so. We need to understand that research done via YouTube is not your own research. Its an algorithm at play that handcuffs us to our worst cognitive biases. We need to be sceptical but for the sake of understanding, not to create more tribalism. I would argue that we also need, at a broader level, to instigate fake news resilience training, like Finland has

06.01.2022 Exactly 12 months ago today, the huge Gospers Mountain Fire started from a lightning strike north-west of Sydney. The fire burned for almost 80 days, and became... the biggest forest fire in Australia's recorded history. One year on, the fire has left a heart-wrenching scar on both the landscape and the communities it tore through. This is what climate change looks like. In just a few days, the Royal Commission will hand down its findings into the 2019-20 bushfire season, and it's imperative that it clearly acknowledges the role of climate change in fuelling the 2019-20 bushfires. Share this video to spread the word, and to continue pushing for strong, meaningful and effective action on climate change in Australia. https://climc.nl/311P22u

05.01.2022 As always, the importance of TRUST, it is really sad that we actually have to state the obvious now Determining the safety and efficacy of the therapies clinicians use and patients receive is at the heart of the medical system. The FDA has been the envy of the world, setting standards for the studies it requires and then following the resulting science and data in its regulatory decisions. Today more than ever, as science is being manipulated and disregarded, it is critical... that the FDA uphold its standards and its objectivity. Truth may be difficult to know, but the scientific process is our best path to knowing it. Treatments for patients should evolve as new data accumulate. But physicians and patients must be confident that any approval from the FDA is based on a careful evaluation of all the available data and that the agency’s decisions are well reasoned and objective. There should be no political interference in the FDA process. The FDA and the executive branch should not squander the trust that the agency has carefully built over many decades of hard work." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2030687?query=TOC See more

03.01.2022 Its not a just a matter of death, it is a matter of Chronic Sickness, the COVID long haulers As functional medicine/ integrative medicine doctors , we see our share of Chronic Fatigue ( ME/ CFS ) patients Russell was in good condition before the virus hit, with his regular 5km runs timed at about 23 minutes. Now he struggles to climb stairs.... Research has only recently begun into the long-term effects of Covid-19, but Shepherd said the working theory was that the coronavirus had disrupted peoples immune systems, causing a cytokine storm, or an overreaction of the bodys protective system, which is thought to also be a factor in ME and chronic fatigue syndrome. Several studies in the last two or three years show that immune system dysfunction is probably involved in ME, he said. The immune system seems to continue to activate on a low level, trying to fight off a virus that is no longer there. That reaction may then affect the central nervous system and the hypothalamus https://www.theguardian.com//i-was-infected-with-coronavir

01.01.2022 What does this imply for the ability of masks to impede COVID-19 transmission? The virus itself is only about 0.1 m in diameter. But because viruses don’t leave the body on their own, a mask doesn’t need to block particles that small to be effective. More relevant are the pathogen-transporting droplets and aerosols, which range from about 0.2 m to hundreds of micrometres across. (An average human hair has a diameter of about 80 m.) The majority are 110 m in diameter and can linger in the air a long time, says Jose-Luis Jimenez, an environmental chemist at the University of Colorado Boulder. That is where the action is.
