Super important to understand about the ER 👇💯
"You can't have a free market in healthcare — what about emergencies?" 95% of ER visits can be shopped. Only 5% of patients truly cannot wait. We don't need an entire socialized system because of 5%. — Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio

The same MRI is $300 in one building and $4,000 across the street. Same machine. Same images. Same radiologist. The only thing that changed: a hospital bought the building and tacked on a "facility fee." You're paying rent on a room you sat in for nine minutes. Ask for the cash price before you ever schedule one. FYI: This is the 9th time in 9 years that I have posted this exact message. 😊

Most people think you need pills or probiotics to fix your microbiome… Recent research showed that daily almond snacking significantly boosted Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a key beneficial bacteria. Chomping on almonds also bumps up butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that protects and repairs your gut lining. 🥜 One of the easiest, most evidence-backed daily swaps you can make. No fancy protocol required. Ready to upgrade your snack game? Drop your favorite way to eat almonds below 👇 #GutHealth #Microbiome #Prebiotics Source: “How Almonds Support Gut Microbiome Health” — IFT.org (March 24, 2026) ‌

People are touting ivermectin for Hantavirus. A drug that requires a supply chain, a seller, a buyer and money. If IVM actually worked, it would immediately be hoarded and not be available. Nevermind that there are no trials showing that it works. On the other hand we have trials that interferon (an endogenous protein in your body) helps fight all sorts of viruses and we have trials that it helps in Hantavirus. We also know cheap ways of elevating our own interferon quite high. So why are some against it? Because you don't need a supply chain, pharmacist, or money to get it. You can't hoard it either. Perhaps the most important MedCram you'll watch Right here: 👇 youtu.be/tgGtEA6SYxE?si=glAQ…

Should employer health plans stop using insurance for routine care? benefitspro.com/2026/05/01/s… Yup because #DirectCare can make most care too cheap to insure.
