Covid & Berberine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33749932/You keep putting statements in quotes without any sited sources!! Who the fuck is saying those things you are quoting?
And you conveniently ignored my question earlier about how you conduct your research, at this point I do not think you even need to bother answering because your posts are telling everyone here with a half a brain that you are a big idiot and your research comes from propagandized Q memes and other such bullshit!
You can fuck off now, thank you very much!
You guys are arguing the wrong thing: all (or most at least) doctors use "evidence based medicine" but very few conduct actual research. Primarily because physicians who actively research are generally medical professors at research universities. Most of those also see patients. But almost all of your family practice docs aren't conducting experiments, they're basically mechanics.The current vaccines for COVID are actually more effective than well established vaccines like the flu shot, shingles shot, etc. Those shots are in the 50-60% efficacy range. Even shots for things like HepA and B only have uptakes in the 80% range after the full course.
The idea that the COVID vaccine is somehow a failure is asinine. Right now in my state, the ratio of vaccinated to unvaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID is >9:1. That's pretty darn good. To put it simply, the only reason we're still in this mess is stupid people ruining life for the rest of us.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. All doctors generally practice using the best available research. However, its unlikely a specific doctor is studying your specific disease and so its stupid to expect all doctors to be able to pull up their personal papers on your personal disease. All doctors should be practicing using the best available research and data. Its almost by force actually because insurance companies do monitor requests for testing and medications and won't pay for things in general that don't have evidence behind it. Basically if a doctor is out there doing stuff not supported by the research and something bad happens leading to a lawsuit, he has zero defense and will lose the case hard. In malpractice suits, its doctors testifying against other doctors in a nutshell and the only thing to really talk about is what the evidence shows and the person involved either didn't follow it or did. You can at any time ask a doctor to show you the data behind a recommendation and they should be able to show you an article or guideline statement supporting his recommendation. However expecting your doctor to personally be researching your disease is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
As for the percentage of docs doing active research or not, that has to do with the distribution of academic physicians vs private practice physicians. Some docs go into academics. They do it because it's slower paced, they don't have to see as many patients and they have freedom to study things they think are interesting. However it pays less, there's pressure to compete and apply for grants, and there's a lot of uncompensated work you have to do like give talks, lectures, QI work for your organization, national committee work, etc etc. I think the pressure to apply for grants is probably the major detractor academic medicine and so many people go into private practice which is a different lifestyle: you see patients pretty much exclusively but your get paid nicely and don't have any uncompensated side work to deal with. There's also the fact that training programs are increasingly slanted towards private practice careers because of doctor shortages nationwide.
That wasn't research hoss.Covid & Berberine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33749932/

I believe I made it pretty clear that I'm not a doctor, and the only research I have done is use berberine for myself. To date it has cleared up every infection or virus I have gotten, and I have had some serious ones.
Well, shit. Going by your "research" standard, I have found the miracle cure for every illness that I've ever had in my life. This miracle cure is known by its chemical form as dihydrogen oxide. I have a copious amount of it everyday and all doctors I know even recommend taking it with other medicines that they prescribe.Covid & Berberine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33749932/

You keep saying that few doctors do their own research. No one disputes that. Doctors generally take research that other people have done and use it to make their patients better. With that said, how does doctors doing their own research or not have any bearing on berberine at all?Doctors doing research https://www.researchgate.net/figure...ch-as-their-major-professional_fig2_259115016

Lets look at the conclusion: "However, direct evidence of berberine antagonist to ACE2, TMPRSS2 protein, and binding activities with these receptors and other targets have not been elucidated in this study". The paper you linked was a model that someone showed that might have some effect, but it hasn't been shown yet in actual experiments.Covid & Berberine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33749932/
"Previous studies suggest that berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown various biological activities that may help against COVID-19 and SARS, including antiviral, anti-allergy and inflammation, hepatoprotection against drug- and infection-induced liver injury, as well as reducing oxidative stress."
Getting someone to further study berberine is the problem. Pharmaceutical companies have zero interest in studying herbal formulas because they can't make money off of them.
A lot of it comes down to funding from what I've read. No one really wanted to waste time and funding into MRNA until Covid happened and then governments and private organizations began to dump money into anything that offered some insight into a cure. From a laymen's perspective, it's both understandable and also infuriating as to why.I don’t ever expect a “cure” for Covid. We’ve been trying to create anti-viral drug treatments for various diseases for decades and it’s really difficult. The best we have for the flu are drugs like Tamiflu which merely reduce the severity and duration.
We mostly don’t have antivirals that work with the same efficacy as antibiotics on bacteria which is what it seems he would prefer.
Nah they just love pooping in their pantiesThe only reason these nutjobs think Ivermectin works is because there was a small study done where it did kill viruses in a petri dish [sic]. A lot of compounds will kill bacteria and viruses in a petri dish. A lot of them aren't made for human use.

this is same guy, although he was previously fired by Rittenhouse, a few articles now floating aroundWasn't the Rittenhouse lawyer also on life support and they said he was dehydrated?
