Athletes, AF, Anticoagulants, Statins, Peanuts, and Dishwashers
Here is an update on my recent writing. Athletes and AF: I was honored to be invited back to the Western AF symposium in Park City, Utah. Last year, I presented on social media. This year, Dr. Nassir Marrouche (University of Utah) asked me to tackle the topic of atrial fibrillation in athletes. This is no small matter.

This is How Doctors are Puppets for Vaccine Manufacturers
Conclusion Relevant information is intentionally hidden from doctors so that they may feel more comfortable about recommending vaccines.

The Trouble with Peanuts in Managing Diabetes
If you have diabetes, beware of peanuts, peanut butter, and peanut oil. Some people think that because most tree nuts, like almonds, are so healthy, that peanuts should also be good for us. But peanuts aren’t nuts at all. They are a legume, and unlike most nuts we can’t eat them raw. Actually, we can’t eat them at all if we want to avoid some of the side effects that we can get from them. Some of these side effects can be... (Source: David Mendosa's SharePosts)

Dear Doctor, Do You Really Know What Vaccines Contain?
Conclusion Please note, Doctor: The committee suggested that to avoid public anxiety, the information about vaccine production from human cancer tumors be omitted from package inserts. It was also decided that a special committee meeting be held to discuss how to present the information to doctors concerning vaccine production from human cancer tumors, so that they may feel comfortable about the issue. Doctor, you have confirmed that you do not know what vaccines contain when you administer them to your patients. The truth is that nobody knows, not even the manufacturers. Consequently, you will no doubt agree that you are ...
