100 years ago every "winter", people did caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and low carb. as your physical exertion declined because it was too cold, you ate less. unless you lived at the equator, and then you continued to work shirtless and eat your normal amount.
The Quiet Ban on Physician-Owned Hospitals "In most sectors of the American economy, we celebrate the moment when insiders break away to build something better. Engineers start their own firms. Chefs open their own restaurants. Innovators leave incumbents and test their mettle in the market. Only in US healthcare do we treat that entrepreneurial impulse as a threat worthy of prohibition. Section 6001 of the 2010 Affordable Care Act froze the growth of physician-owned hospitals (POHs) by barring new POHs from getting paid by Medicare and Medicaid, and by restricting the expansion of existing POHs. It did not ban POHs outright, but it had roughly the effect of a ban; after years of growth, the number of POHs in the US abruptly plateaued at around 230-250, and practically no new POHs have opened since 2010. Supporters of the ban on POHs say it is needed to prevent conflicts of interest, cream-skimming, and overuse."

spent the afternoon trying to verify the virology controls are incorrect and it does appear that universally throughout the literature cells are grown on a 10% fetal bovine serum medium, and then when it comes to the experimental phase, the medium is reduced to 2%. it seems like this justification is always for enhanced cytopathic effects to speed up experimentation. this is pretty classic in medicine where we see a protocol developed, and then it just becomes accepted in the literature that it's valid so people use it because they can publish results easily. a few really smart people know what's going on but they don't want to say anything because they need to keep collecting checks. then the medical literature becomes polluted with all the false experiments but refuting a bad idea is far harder that publishing something that supports the status quo.

people with type 2 diabetes are not just insulin resistant they are also insulin deficient. beta cells (in the pancreas) with dysfunctional mitochondria don't produce insulin in response to glucose because their mitochondria don't generate enough ATP to open the channels necessary for insulin release. their mitochondria don't work because their membranes are leaky due to PUFA (seed oil) incorporation. this causes the person's blood glucose to stays high, damaging cells. then at the skeletal muscle and liver level where the insulin is supposed to drive glucose inside, the insulin receptors are inhibited by diacylglycerol (present in all vegetable oils) which has accumulated due to mitochondrial impairment at using fatty acids. so in summary when the mitochondria are damaged the insulin isn't released as fast and then when it is released the muscle cells are inhibited from binding insulin by a pufa (diacylglycerol) that accumulates due to mitochondrial dysfunction
