So when did you start DAV?

#237

@Joseph Please be respectful of our medical professionals here. They have spent a lifetime practicing medicine and working with patients to solve their health problems using the best ways to their knowledge.

I think they deserve a lot of respect for this. Please do not denigrate them or the profession.

They also have a lot more experience treating health problems than those of us who are not. No matter how many scientific papers you read, you will never have the same amount of practical experience they have.

And just remember that between 10-75% of the papers you are putting your trust in are fraudulent to begin with. (Depending on your source)

Don’t be the pot calling the kettle black. I think @KarlT provides a lot of useful insights here and I for one value his opinions.

Since you only have one life to live, I suggest you be a little more cautious for your own sake.

Some members on this forum do not like the truth.

Honestly, I don’t even think you are right…

Also way to prove his point about the “religious like zealotry” with that wall of text.

DAV update: Day 9 I am tapping out. The reason is I feel my GI and gut microbiome are taking a hit. My poop is off, belly doesn’t feel right and I believe some body and joint inflammation is occurring as a result. I tried to keep things in check with non-dairy yogurt and probiotic supplements. This could all be placebo and unrelated but my personal risk reward calculus is flashing red. I will fall back to doxy on Rapa dose day only. Good luck to all who are doing DAV I hope your experience is or continues to be better than mine.

Probably the azithromycin. I’ve used it a couple times in the past to treat bacterial infections. My gut microbiome felt off as well. I used some probiotics for a few days and it returned to normal. Good luck.

That’s correct, I agree with what I said, what about it?

#244

@Joseph your response was exactly what I expected. My post wasn’t directed to you, you incorrectly assumed that I inferred a negative connotation to the term Bro Science, and you’re anti authority so you’ll disagree with most of what I say.
But I glad you had the opportunity to vent some of your hostility.

The point is even though someone is a doctor doesn’t mean that they are up on the latest or even the oldest evidence of the therapeutic effect of any medication. We have demonstratively proved that by the forum members, including me when it came to getting doctors to prescribe rapamycin.

So, when doctors and others bring up outlier studies of azithromycin involving sick people taking other drugs and/or stem cell treatments etc. It serves no useful purpose, in fact, quite the contrary.

“The World Health Organization lists azithromycin as one of the safest drugs for any national health system [20]. Indeed, over the last several decades, its administration for respiratory diseases [21,22] has resulted in few short-term side effects relative to other antibiotics, even in pregnant women and children”

“Arthur E. Girard and Gene Michael Bright, together with PLIVA’s Slobodan Djokic (posthumously) and Gabrijela Kobrehel, received in 2000 the American Chemical Society’s award of “Heroes of Chemistry who have promoted human welfare in the area of health” for their discovery of Zithromax® (azithromycin).”

What is the meaning of bro science?

Bro Science is a term for misinformation circulated among men, usually body-building claims not backed by science.Jul 23, 2018

I am starting my DAV experiment tomorrow. If I have read the report correctly this should be my schedule. If anyone thinks I have misinterpreted the schedule wrongly, please comment.

I am not interested if you think the DAV experiment is not a good idea.

The shaded boxes are the days to take the meds. They are meant to be checked off by me each time I take a dose.

Now I see how it works!

Thanks to the few who are trying the regimen, we will have a few data points as anecdotal evidence. One data point (Danlalane) is in. DAV affects the gut microbiome.

My bet is on the low dose approach. Hope to hear from Rmun and blsm when their trial ends.

I don’t agree with that definition.
This would be my interpretation:
A combination of the following:
Scientific data
Anecdotes/n of 1
Word of mouth
Trial and error
Willingness to take risk for potential gain

I realize you probably don’t respect Dr Attia, but in his podcasts, he and others will note that some useful information comes from the bro science
