Do you want to know the truth behind the news stories on the newest "cancer cure" of 2022? I analyze the abstract here: doctorsteve.com/2022/06/10/c… I discuss it in greater detail on this week's @Patreon show patreon.com/weirdmedicine
Cutting Through the Hype: The Cancer Cure Story of June 2022 - Weird Medicine

Cutting Through the Hype: The Cancer Cure Story of June 2022 - Weird Medicine

This is the original study where all the "hoopla," if I may use "salty" language, arose. Though the title is rather nondescript, the result is promising. I'll annotate this in the body of the text....

In an extremely rare moment of candour on Russian state TV today, defence columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok gave a damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine and his country's international isolation. It's fairly long but worth your time so I've added subtitles.

"What do you mean an Su-34 pilot got lost 'somewhere over Sumy'?" "Vladimir Vladimirovich..." "Speak plainly!" "It seems he was using a Garmin GPS system he ordered off Amazon." "..." "And it seems, furthermore, he informed headquarters on his iPhone 12."

We've had an uptick in usage in Eastern Europe & rumors are circulating that Signal is hacked & compromised. This is false. Signal is not hacked. We believe these rumors are part of a coordinated misinformation campaign meant to encourage people to use less secure alternatives.
