Dr. Malcolm Kendrick author of Doctoring Data claims that cardiovascular risk increases more steeply after systolic BP reaches around 160-170 mmHg—well beyond the 140/90 threshold often used to diagnose and treat hypertension. A rule of thumb in medicine is that for older individuals, a systolic BP of around 100 + age is a reasonable upper limit beyond which cardiovascular risks increase significantly. Is hypertension over-treated, given that aggressively lowering blood pressure—especially in older individuals—can be harmful?”ClosedNicola asked 2 days ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions24 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “A 2018 book, Medical Nihilism, by Jacob Stegenga claims the healthcare system over-adopts treatments and under-recognizes risks. He states confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions should be low because empirical evidence for the efficacy of many treatments is weak due to methodological flaws, publication bias, the influence of commercial interests. He claims positive studies are more likely to be published, screening programs tend to detect and treat cancers that would never cause harm, common treatments can cause long-term complications, short trial durations miss long-term harms etc. How accurate is his view that evidence is systematically skewed and harms are undercounted?”ClosedNicola asked 2 days ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions23 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Dr. Bernard Lown, a Harvard cardiologist in the 1980s, criticized the rapid rise of surgical Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CABG), noting 20–40% were potentially avoidable, especially in stable angina, and many patients had uncertain survival benefit. He advocated medical therapy—nitrates, beta-blockers, lifestyle changes—for symptom control. How accurate is it to say that in 2026, evidence-based guidelines and trials have reduced avoidable CABG to <10% for high-risk, guideline-selected patients, and that for low-risk, stable patients, surgery rarely improves survival, and that beta-blockers, nitrates, ACE inhibitors, lifestyle changes are to be preferred?”ClosedNicola asked 2 days ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions20 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “A 2012 paper in the British Medical Journal “Use of relative and absolute effect measures in reporting health inequalities” concluded that “75% (258/344) [of 2009 papers] reported only relative effect measures.” Absolute risk reduction is often far less impressive and less often stated. This suggests that physicians will overestimate the efficacy of treatments and patients may have a misplaced belief in both effectiveness and risks. To what extent does this practice mislead patients and clinicians and benefit pharmaceutical manufacturers?”ClosedNicola asked 2 days ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions16 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Dr. Malcolm Kendrick in his book, Doctoring Data, suggests more patients are harmed by over-treatment than helped. He claims published treatment benefits are often exaggerated by hiding behind relative risk (to mask how tiny most benefits are), selective reporting (such as statistical significance without meaningful benefit), or clever framing (such as natural variation in cholesterol or blood pressure) is medicalized as a treatable condition. To what extent is published medical research actually the fabricated appearance of scientific rigor to sell a product?”ClosedNicola asked 2 days ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions16 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “What percentage of patients take drugs for almost no real benefit, even while risking side effects and penalized by the cost?”ClosedNicola asked 2 days ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions18 views0 answers0 votesWas my client’s channeling accurate that the insiders will be using the outages when the power and markets are down as their green-light to position themselves and get ready on their back channels to trade? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions139 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “The Lancet medical journal, renowned for publishing cutting-edge, peer-reviewed research, published an article in February 2026 “Assessment of adverse effects attributed to statin therapy …” citing “Widespread confusion about statin safety”. The researchers used data from 19 large, double-blind, randomized controlled trials. The paper concludes that while statins can cause a few side effects, such as slight liver issues, changes in urine, and swelling, these are rare and not very serious. They claim other side effects people worry about were not linked to statins at all. I seem to recall Creator saying the use of statins should be discontinued, however. Has this research been manipulated?”ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions92 views0 answers0 votesThe CDC reported on Thursday, that the U.S. life expectancy increased in 2024 to a record high of 79 years. The top 10 leading causes of death in the U.S. all declined by varying small degrees. Heart disease deaths, the top killer, were down by 3%. Deaths from unintentional injuries declined 14.4% from the previous year. This seems surprising given the fact serious chronic illnesses have been steadily increasing in case numbers for years. Were these statistics manipulated to make the healthcare system look good?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions103 views0 answers0 votesIn recent protests across Iran, official sources report at least 5,000 fatalities, including around 500 security personnel. This figure marks a significant escalation in the violence that has unfolded since demonstrations began on December 28, triggered by a sharp decline in the value of the rial. Initially sparked by economic discontent, the protests swiftly evolved into a widespread Anti-Government Movement, demanding the resignation of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. An Iranian official attributed the high death toll to external influences, specifically pointing to “Israel and armed groups abroad.” The government has indicated that the current death toll is unlikely to increase significantly. However, human rights organizations have reported that security forces have killed many protesters, with over 20,000 arrests linked to the unrest. The Iranian government imposed an internet blackout on January 8, complicating efforts to ascertain the true extent of the casualties and limiting humanitarian organizations’ ability to respond. Estimates from independent sources suggest that protester deaths could have reached 6,000 in a matter of days during the blackout.ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions106 views0 answers0 votesIn the news is “…a scheme that involved exchanging government SNAP benefits for cash at a discount, selling ineligible items like liquor and beer, and even profiting from “MannaPacks”—humanitarian rice meal packs intended for global aid, which were sold for $8 each. Undercover operations confirmed the fraud, with agents witnessing cash trafficking and noting that the stores generated minimal legitimate revenue. That wasn’t some petty scam; it was part of a massive fraud ring run by Haitian nationals in Boston. At the same time, another scheme operated by Yemeni nationals in New York was busy pulling off a similar heist. Combined, these criminal enterprises are charged with stealing a staggering $27 million in taxpayer-funded food stamps. And that’s just what we know about so far. This isn’t a story about a few bad apples. This is organized crime, plain and simple. Federal authorities say the Boston ring allegedly used comically small convenience stores—we’re talking glorified closets—to launder an incredible $500,000 in SNAP benefits every single month. That’s more than six times what a typical large supermarket processes. Over in Brooklyn, it was the same story, different cast. Yemeni nationals were indicted for a racket that vacuumed up $20 million, using fake and stolen EBT cards from at least ten different states. If this sounds familiar, it should. It’s the same playbook we saw with the massive welfare fraud indictments of Somali nationals in Minnesota. This is a systemic attack on America’s welfare system.” Is this more than ordinary criminality?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions79 views0 answers0 votesThe US military conducted a surprise strike at a military base in Venezuela where President Maduro was housed. He and his wife were taken prisoner and transported to New York where Maduro appeared in court, charged with narco-trafficking. There has been much international consternation about the legality of this intrusion. In addition, it is shaking up geopolitical forces as the US now controls the Venezuelan oil supply and is denying sales to Russia and China. Was this move just a law enforcement operation to stop drug smuggling harmful to US citizens, as the US maintains, or is it serving deeper, more sinister motives of the interlopers?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions85 views0 answers0 votesA financial newsletter recently focused on the vulnerability of the stock market to a correction in AI stocks. They noted that the top 10 most valuable stocks in the S&P 500 were all AI companies. They have had a huge runup in share prices, yet market expectations are that there will continue to be explosive growth in the sector. The editorial questioned the likelihood of actual revenue being sufficient to reward investor expectations due to a hidden limitation. The scramble to build huge data centers to provide support for the fastest chips needed for the mammoth build-out of computer power to meet demand looks like it will face increasing short-falls in energy supply. The demand for electricity for such energy-intensive endeavors is hitting a wall, a basic upper limit in availability of electric grids to accommodate further growth. Will there be a day of reckoning coming to cause a severe market correction? Could that be hastened by onset of the tidal power outages raising questions about reliability of the US electric power infrastructure?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions111 views0 answers0 votesA news story reports that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) joined The Epoch Times Senior Editor Jan Jekielek on his show American Thought Leaders to discuss what he considers one of the gravest crimes of our time: the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting. “I’m one of the few members of Congress who’ve ever actually done transplant surgery,” Dunn said. “I understand a lot of it is coming near and dear to my heart, and the idea of actually murdering someone—to take their organs and give them to somebody else—that is as appalling as anything that anybody’s ever done in the history of the world. That’s right up there with the Nazis and the Holocaust.” A surgeon by training and a member of the House Select Committee on the CCP, Dunn has made combating China’s forced organ harvesting one of his top priorities… For over two decades, mounting evidence has indicated that prisoners of conscience in China, particularly adherents of Falun Gong—a spiritual practice persecuted in China since 1999—have been killed on demand for their organs. Independent tribunals, human rights investigators, and medical experts have documented thousands of cases, estimating that tens of thousands of transplants occur each year without identifiable voluntary donors. “Now they advertise that you can actually make an appointment sitting in America for a heart/lung transplant in China right now, but I want to make that illegal,” Dunn said.

Gatt, A. Grech, and H. Arshad. The effect of Vitamin D supplementation for bone healing in fracture patients: a systematic review. Adv. Orthopedics Volume 2023, Article ID 6236045). However, the supplement doses of vitamin D3 were either low, 800-2000 IU daily, or quite high loading doses orally or systemically of 100,000 to 300,000 IU. Was their negative assessment justified or were the studies flawed? Would taking a 5000 to 10,000 IU dose of vitamin D3 daily, give significant benefit for healing bone fractures?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions207 views0 answers0 votes
