• Gender politics is getting way out of hand.

  Check webmd.com definition of gender affirming care for minors. It includes, among other things, top and bottom surgeries which puts those minors on a path of lifelong medication. Child marriages are wrong and even though that does not impact me, I think that all of 42 states in the USA should finally ban them. Adults can do whatever they want, but children are a different thing. Consent is important. And... Source: about 3 years ago

• Newly diagnosed - what to do while waiting to start treatment?

  Personally, I recommend avoid googling as much as you can. This disease is different than other cancers in regards to staging, and specific to each person, and the team treating you can interpret image studies, and the various tests, will be far more knowledgeable as to advise and treating you than healthline.com or webmd.com. There are some good resources out there, such as this and the cancer reddit. Source: about 3 years ago

• Has anyone gone off meds cold turkey?

  I'm no kind of doctor. That said, in my experience, going off cold turkey can be a very bad idea -- I felt physically ill for weeks after quitting one med. Couple years later, I quit another, and came close to harming myself. Best idea is to discuss ramping down safely with your doc. If you're not comfortable doing that, at least check reputable web sites like drugs.com, webmd.com, mayoclinic.com. Google quitting... Source: about 3 years ago

• Anyone know the life expectancy of someone with celiacs who eats gluten?

  Medscape.com is a really nice site with medical information (more physician-oriented compared to consumer-oriented sites such as webmd.com and the like; anyone can get a free membership). Here https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/171805-overview#a2, under Epidemiology, they note a four-fold increase in all-cause mortality among people with undiagnosed celiac disease. You might follow the links to the references... Source: over 3 years ago

• Does bupropion’s action on DAT and NAT cause DA and NA down-regulation in combination with amphetamine

  High norepinephrine levels can aid focus a bit but it's not as potent as increased dopamine. The norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor strattera isn't, on average, nearly as effective as stimulants for ADHD. High norepinephrinergic levels can lead to a bit of emotional blunting, anxiety, and irritability and user reviews on websites like drugs.com and webmd.com for SNRIs are usually worse than for SSRIs. In the link I... Source: almost 4 years ago

• Common side effect of switching antidepressants or something to be more wary of?

  Although there isn't an anxiety category, on drugs.com and webmd.com trintellix is rated significantly worse than SSRIs for depression. Might want to add low dose risperidone (0.25-5mg 2x/day) for selective serotonin 2A antagonism. Adding agomelatine--if available--may help (2C antagonism) as well. Source: almost 4 years ago

• How can I as an uneducated person learn to properly research things to get unbiased/correct information?

  Look for sources that appear in the top search engine pages, and use your judgement. So for example, webmd.com is good, jonasexposingthetruthofsocialistbabyeating.com is not. Look for peer-reviewed paper on topics. Look for YouTube videos from reputable sources. Always question the agenda of who is giving you information. Are they skewing it to get you emotionally manipulated? Look at the wording - listen to the... Source: about 4 years ago

• The Bitchy Catholic doesn’t know basic sex-Ed. Shocked, but not surprised. 🥴😫

  I took two seconds to google it and found an explanation on webmd.com. Plan B basically just stops the ovaries releasing an egg. It MAY stop sperm reaching an egg. It also MAY stop a fertilised egg implanting in the womb. It WILL NOT prevent pregnancy occurring after implantation has occurred. Source: over 4 years ago

• Accurate

  Well if the scientific white papers are written in latin and higher math then what do you expect? In the end non-medical people are at the mercy of the medical PR people, webmd.com, etc. like.. Are you really gonna sit there and tell me there isn't a political reality to science and medicine? Remember when like a dozen cigarette manufacturers testified under oath that tobacco is not addictive? like.. Nicotine... Source: over 4 years ago

• Could a woman survive off of cum? (r/shittyaskscience)

  In accordance with a "webmd.com" article, an average serving of cum contains "5 to 25" calories, on average 15. So this is not accurate as you only use the lowest amount. Which is usually reserved for people who have a medical condition that lowers the amount of semen. Source: over 4 years ago

• The more I flip through Gravitys Rainbow, the more insane I think the reading experience will be. Frankly I'm a little nervous to give this a shot,, This book seems intense

  If books are drugs (because they can take you to different realities), GR is the most powerful drug out there. If you've taken a powerful drug, you don't suddenly decide, gee, now that I'm in the throes of this experience, maybe I should see what Webmd has to say about it! Source: over 4 years ago

• Pilates and Yoga combined can help with both flexibility and strength

  According to webmd.com, Yoga poses stretch your muscles and increase your range of motion. With regular practice, they'll improve your flexibility. Aerobic: No. Yoga isn't considered aerobic exercise, but the more athletic varieties, like power yoga, will make you sweat. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

  Looks like webmd.com is another location where the individual creates their own profile so it's not really verified that much, it's quite possible I could even make a profile if I wanted. https://www.webmd.com/about-webmd-policies/profile . Source: about 5 years ago
