The loudest AI doomers predict extinction, but maybe what they really fear is irrelevance. For centuries, the intellectual class claimed ownership of “wisdom.” AI shatters that monopoly. The apocalypse they see isn’t the end of the world, it’s the end of their place at the top of…
Can we really trust meta-analyses?
They’re billed as the gold standard in evidence-based medicine, but design choices make them highly malleable:
– Inclusion criteria
– Selective time windows
– Outcome cherry-picking
– Weighting & handling missing data
– Publication bias &…
Ich bin also nicht der einzige, der auf diesen Gedanken gekommen ist ... ob man von Idealismus oder Romantik spricht, es ist in beiden Fällen irrationaler Hokus Pokus!

Thrilled to share that The Microbiome Connection has been translated into Chinese: 《腸道菌群改善指南》.
Grateful to my co-author @MarkPimentelMD and to the international readers and publishers helping bring evidence-based gut health to a broader audience.
The trouble with the name #IBS is - it implies that it is psychosomatic. Words like irritable, sensitive, functional (opposite of organic), brain-gut, gut-brain whichever way you frame it, the implication is still there. We need a neutral name like Type 1 gut motility disorder.

Das ist so ein Alman-Ding, muss man nicht verstehen, (es hat mit der Deutschen Romantik zu tun!), aber es erleichert dem Staat seit Jahrzehnten Kosten im Gesundheitswesen zu sparen und bei Arznei- und Lebensmittelskandalen oder verseuchten Flüssen die Schuldigen zu schützen. 👍

Small bowel sequencing technologies are moving us into a modern understanding of #SIBO and its microtypes in conditions such as #IBS. New therapeutics addressing this are about to begin trials.
An important study! You must be either be very cynical or a total idiot in the first place to treat a marginalized, neglected and therefore underresearched #GI disorder - that is often a misdiagnosis anyway - like a mental illness. #IBS is not a disorder of the brain.

Yoga for serious #GI disorders. Peak junk science. The state of #neurogastroenterology in 2025 and then they wonder why no one is interested to go into a field full of quackery and why they get only minimal funds. At least yoga does not the same harm as the usual antidepressants.

If we had “evidence-based sex,” researchers who get little sex themselves would write manuals with standardized sex instructions. They’d then conduct research trials showing that instruction-manual sex is better than no sex
Then they’d call it “evidence-based sex” and declare it…
