Dear Bryan, The article in question made me angry at inadvisable behavior. I have no care for any purported physiologic benefits. When you think "sodium =salt", there is only one consideration: blood pressure. Sodium, Na, regulates blood volume so increasing Na will increase your blood volume and your heart will…

Dr. Stockwell, Mega-kudos. As a retired surgical pathologist, your article is potentially life-saving. Of all malignancies, the one that puts the fear of God in my medical soul is Glioblastoma. I think, since your article seems written for scientists, you would benefit your Medium readers with more definitions - especially what ferroapotosis is and why is restrains this terrible malignancy. As a 77 year old male, I have an abiding interest in longevity. I take many supplements as part of my program. Glycine supposedly counters the effect of mrethionine. Is supplementing with glutathione a good idea? Does NAC contribute to overall cysteine levels? I have included my email if you would like to chat off of Medium.

Dear Mr. O'Donnell, Well-crafted, insightful analysis. One point of clarification, if I may: Stalin may have built an industrial nation; however, necessary consumer goods were never available. Now, without the ideology of communism (as the Russians did it), the consumer goods market for the elite was immense. The economic sanctions…

My experience, as a happy survivor of the sexual revolution, is that every lover i have been pleasured by and pleasured is that her multiple orgasms thru foreplay ensure mutually pleasurable penetrative sex- esp. consensual anal when she strokes her clit doggy style. BOTTOM LINE: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH 69 OR ORAL SEX, QED! phd

Dear Dr. Cain, Glad you laughed as joy is rara avis in terra. I noticed it took you 7 lines to respond to my 2- the usual philosophical verbal inflation. The juvenile Dr. Tyson has certainly brought more wisdom to the world than you have. …

Smug tripe! Let me guess if you see yourself as one of the sacrificied noble outsiders? C.P.Snow said it better with less whining and self-anointing. phd

False+tl;dr. Hypertension is a silent killer, hard to control. Eating the aptly acronymed SAD (Standard American Diet) will give you plenty of NaCl-salt. Do you salt your McD fries? You do a disservice, in my medical opinion, as a doctor who has often held a heart in my hands with…

Really? NATO expansion as causative action??????. Perhaps Putin's invasions of post-Soviet countries and obliteration of Syrian hospitals from the air had something to do with it. Please look up the Chinese internet memes: 555x1314 and XSWL. Do you want of world of illiberal autocracies -Xi/Putin +/- Trump, Duterte, Modi, Poland's Duda (who is very generous to Ukraine-maybe he knows something you do not) or the useless Hungarian (DeSantis inspirer) Orban, the darling of CPAC? For me, I will choose the NATO world every time.

As THE pathologist at the Anchorage Alaska Native Medical Center, 1976-80, I had the great privilege of hearing Dennis Burkitt, MD, an N. Irish medical-missionary working in equatorial Africa speak. Not only does he have the first viral-caused,insect-transmitted cancer named after him (Burkitt's Lymphoma), he changed the way we saw…
