They used the C word ... Q: What CAUSES insulin resistance? A: The toxic enzymes of gum disease bacteria. (Note: Other mechanisms of insulin resistance involving the biological actions of dysbiotic oral bacteria are available.)

Dear #MedBlueSky Black and white EITHER/OR debates limit us. Nuanced AND/BOTH debates provide answers. Let's not oversimplify the human body. It is too complicated to be understood in terms of binary EITHER/OR stances. The nuance of AND/BOTH is the way forward. Thanks

If in Dec 2020 you had told me it would take until April 2021 to get my #COVID research published, I’d have been disappointed. It has now been published (April 2025), 4 years later. bit.ly/4j6fIpx 👇 Here's my epic COVID-19 failure story … Long thread 1/25

Only for doctors who might be interested in biological mechanisms of cardiovascular risk… But it can’t be important coz it’s about the mouth. And we all know the mouth is not really a part of the body, right? #OralMicrobiome #EnteroSalivaryNOPathway www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

What's bad about the lack of funding into dentistry is that the message of @eddiecrouch.bsky.social is being ignored. Here he tells us how oral health is linked with general health. Dental/oral health is not an add-on extra to your health, it is a foundation of your health. Oral disease kills!

Today we’re in Westminster, showing MPs how many teeth are extracted from children in their communities. It's the result of a toxic food environment, an access crisis, and a long-term failure to grasp the nettle on prevention. Our children deserve better.

Are there any other radiologists out there working on disease prevention? If so, please get in contact. (I don’t mean screening for disease, I mean stopping disease from happening.)

This is what I said about the lung disease of #COVID-19 in 2020. 2020! They gave me 10 minutes (for which I was grateful) And now… Now, I stand by every word. COVID-19 lung disease was not pneumonia! This knowledge should have changed everything, but didn’t. youtu.be/2jROYLwUK20
