“Body Positivity” Shouldn’t Ignore the Medical Reality

This is a real X-ray showing the stark contrast between the human skeleton and excess body mass in severe obesity.

The bones are the same as anyone else's, but they are under immense strain.

This isn't just about appearance
• The spine is crushed under pressure
• The hips and knees deform over time
• The heart is pushed beyond its limits
• Organs like the liver and pancreas become overwhelmed
• The risk for cancer, stroke, and diabetes climbs rapidly

Fat isn't just 'extra'... It is dangerous.
It isn't beautiful. It is deadly.

Obesity is a chronic and complex disease, not a body type. And while it is serious, it is also treatable and preventable.

Why we need to change our healthcare system:
.America spends more on healthcare than any country on earth-2x what they pay in Europe..America has the worst healthcare outcome of any nation-ranking 79th behind Mongolia..The CDC says ⅔’s of Americans have chronic health issues-60 years ago it was 1%..74% of Americans and 50% of children are overweight or obese-Japan’s rate is 3%..½ of Americans are pre-diabetic or have type 2 diabetes-Alzheimer’s is now labeled Type 3..Diabetes now costs this country more than our military budget..According to the CDC, the rate of Autism in 2000 was 1 in 1500-today it’s 1 in 36. .77% of our children are too disabled to qualify to serve in the military..18% of American teens have fatty liver disease-50 years ago it only affected elderly alcoholics..1 in 4 women is on antidepressant medication-40% of teens have a mental health diagnosis..70% of a child’s diet is industrially manufactured-processed sugars, grains, seed oils..To***co industry in the 70’s/80’s bought the food companies-they created addictive chemicals..These chemicals are banned in Europe-not the USA..Pesticides, food additives, and toxic waste is in every cell of our body..Because young children now ingest estrogen puberty is age 10/13-in 1900 it was 6 years later..Chronic diseases (LIFESTYLE DISEASES, primarily)-cost our economy 5x the military budget..77% of school lunches are processed foods-there are no vegetables..75% of FDA funding comes from Big-Pharma-conflict of interest????.Americans comprise 5% of the world’s population-they consume 50% of all drugs produced..America’s pharma run, medicalized healthcare system is the 3rd leading cause of death...

…it’s time to change our approach to healthcare!

Is there a link between cancer and tattoos?

A study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos may be a risk factor for lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. The study found that people with tattoos had a 21% higher risk of developing lymphoma.
What the study found
The risk of lymphoma was highest for people who got their first tattoo within two years
The risk decreased for people who got their first tattoo three to ten years ago
The risk increased again for people who got their first tattoo more than ten years ago
The risk was highest for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma
The size of the tattoo did not seem to matter
What the study suggests
Tattoos may trigger low-grade inflammation in the body, which can trigger cancer
The body interprets tattoo ink as something foreign and activates the immune system
A large part of the ink is transported to the lymph nodes
What the study recommends
More research is needed to establish causality
Regulatory measures are needed to control the chemical composition of tattoo ink
People with tattoos should seek medical care if they experience any symptoms that may be tattoo-related

Published in the Journal of Bioactice Medicine: Materials earlier this month, researchers determined that coral is close enough to bone in humans that it can be used as a bone graph. Researchers have developed a 3D-printed bone graft substitute inspired by coral using this biomimetic material to overcome the limitations of current autograft and allograft options, including limited supply, infection risk, and ethical concerns. (1)

Key Features:

▪ Rapid Healing: Promotes bone growth within 2-4 weeks.
▪ Complete Integration: Naturally degrades, leaving only healthy bone.
▪ Cost-Effective: Easily produced in large quantities.
Preclinical Studies: Demonstrated successful bone defect repair within 3-6 months, including formation of new cortical bone in 4 weeks..

Significance:

▪ Overcomes limitations: Addresses the shortcomings of existing synthetic grafts, such as slow degradation, poor integration, and inflammation.
▪ Improved patient outcomes: Enables faster healing, reduced complications, and improved quality of life.
▪ Reduced healthcare costs: Offers a more affordable and readily available alternative to traditional grafting methods.
▪ Addresses ethical concerns: Reduces reliance on donor bone.
