…with stem cells.
Faster, please. Interesting to read this in the context of going to get an echo cardiogram this afternoon.
[Update Thursday afternoon]
For those curious, I got a clean bill of health. One slightly leaky valve, which the cardiologist said was no big deal.
This isn’t news to me. I’ve always been concerned (to the degree that I am concerned) about both, and in fact, I worry more about diastolic than systolic. I’m trying to get it down with 20 mg of Lisinopril, but it’s still 150/100 on waking. Fortunately, I’ve never had a cardiovascular event, despite having lost both parents relatively young to heart attacks. I think I have a much healthier lifestyle, though. They were both life-long smokers, and overweight (partly as a result of horrible nutrition advice from the government).
Genetic factors are the primary ones. Yes, it’s not vaccines.
I also subscribe to the theory that tech hubs have brought people together who might not have met in previous times, and their kids are getting a double dose.
…are turning their kids into cyborgs.
This will be a big breakthrough for a lot of people, though (as with all tech advances) it will have its downsides.
Why everything you know about it is wrong.

No, they’re not healthier for you. They’re probably worse. And the myth of red meat and cancer, and saturated fat and heart disease, persists.
Curing patients by editing away the virus.
This is the 21st century I was hoping for. Now do herpes.
For those wondering why posting has been light, I woke up with a summer head cold on Monday. I spent a lot of yesterday taking it easy and napping, but last night I slept pretty well, and I’m mostly dried up today.
Anyway, feeling much better today. Just sore left arm, like I’d been overdoing something with it yesterday. Which in a sense, I had been.
Not news to regular readers here, but BMI is BS.
Things like this are what gives me such low confidence in the health profession.
