Foraged Sumac / Ottolenghi ’s Gigli with Chickpeas & Za ’atar
I first encountered wild sumac in 2015 in Pennsylvania’s Loyalsock Forest. I’ve foraged for it most summers since, both there
and along the Pine Creek Rail Trail.
This year’s sumac crop was a little disappointing. Despite how much I picked, most of the fruits had worm infestations that limited the amount of usable berries. (Note to self – pick sooner in the season next year…) Still, I got about a cup and a half of dried sumac for my efforts, more than enough for my needs. (If you want to know how to harvest and dry sumac to make the spice, read here.)
I used the fruits of...

We Should Channel People Into Medicare Advantage Plans Where They Won ’t Have Amputations or Go Blind (Part 2)
By GEORGE HALVORSON
Former Kaiser Permanente CEO George Halvorson has written on THCB on and off over the years, most notably with his proposal for Medicare Advantage for All post-COVID. He wrote a piece in Health Affairs last year arguing with the stance of Medicare Advantage of Don Berwick and Rick Gilfillan (Here’s their piece pt1, pt2). We also published his criticism (Part 1. Part 2. Part 3) of Medpac’s analysis of Medicare Advantage. Now Medpac is meeting again and George is wondering why they don’t seem to care about diabetic foot amputation...

Lilly Pulls the Plug on Mix-and-Inject Glugagon Rescue Kits
For those who didn ' t hear the news when it broke, diaTribe news reported (seehttps://diatribe.org/glucagon-options-expand-lilly-discontinues-emergency-kit for the news) that Lilly announced that the company intends to discontinue manufacturing its traditional Glucagon Emergency Kitshttps://www.lillyglucagon.com/ by the end of 2022. The kits are old-school, mix& inject kits that many patients (and caregivers alike) really despise because they are rather cumbersome and inconvenient to use when time is of the essence. Having an unpopular product works in the absence of competition, but when newer, more convenient produc...

However, a personalized diet comes with a need fo...

Digital Clothing, Biofashion And Smart Outfits – The Future Of Fashion
Fast fashion is not only unsustainable but also means an unbearable burden to the planet. The situation is ripe for change. Could lab-grown leather and other novel ways of synthetic garment production, biofashion or digital clothing show the way to an alternative future for the apparel industry? Is there a chance of improving our attitude towards clothing items by adding more value, new functionality?

Taking Back Medicine
I am currently trying to decide how this blog moves forward - and if continuing to publish here is the best way to move forward. A few long-standing posts (detailing my adventures with corporate medicine as a medical whistleblower abandoned by the Federal government) have been archived for now. Others remain.For instance, I like to remember how idealistic I once was. Last year, I lent a lot of support to my local County Commissioners ' plan to " save " my (bankrupt) hometown hospital (Randolph Hospital in Asheboro, N.C.) - never mind all their executives did to destroy me - a long time ago - after a ...

mRNA Vaccines: From Tackling Pandemic To Treating Cancer
The story of the multi-decade uphill battle Katalin Karikó and her fellow researchers fought to prove messenger RNA can viably be used in medicine is widely known today. In just as little as two years, the world has learned about mRNA technology and how fast it can react when the need arises holding almost unlimited promises in future applications. As always is the case with “instant hits” in science, the ride was actually very long and bumpy, but more on that later.
What is mRNA?
In very simple terms: messenger ribonucleic acids (or mRNAs in short) are the body’s natural way to transport messages from o...
