BJM Investigation - Galleri promises to detect multiple cancers—but new evidence casts doubt on this much hyped blood test, 08/07/2024
Seems the potential conflicts-of-interests between private healthcare companies and government regulators are not limited to the US. The near-universal policy to follow-the-money seems to also hold true in the UK as well. From the BJM Report: * * * [i]Big promises have been made for the Galleri blood

Hello, I'm new.
I had a surprise text in March saying that ckd stage 3a was found in 2019 in a blood test I requested for something else. No further action was recorded so I have only heard about it this year, nearly 4 years later! My docs practice has changed hands and my records updated and so I was informed. Anyway

Hydroxycarbamide
Hello This may seem a strange question but I am struggling to understand…… if Hydroxycarbamide reduces the amount of blood cells, how does a routine blood test show any issues. I have recently started with chronic stomach pains the doc took a blood sample and said my blood count is fine…. If Hydroxycarbamide

Follow-up with haematologist
I saw my (private) haematologist last night and confessed my B12 EOD habit. It took him several minutes to come down off the ceiling and have a proper discussion with me as I made my argument: that, if I'd followed the NICE protocol I wouldn't be where I am today (mostly functioning well), I wouldn't

What might be causing pain under area of left ribs and stomach, shoulder, back? Should I be worried. After running and lasting a few hours.
Title says everything. Extra info of ailments and health that could be relevant (). It could be muscle cramp or something but maybe it could be more serious. I checked NHS guidelines and it doesn't seem like emergency since it only goes to shoulder. Since I have GP in a few weeks it's ok. Can anyone

Collagen II/HIRT for Bone Health and Blood Test
Hi all, I take collagen II and do High Intensity Resistance Training every other day to help back off of osteoporosis. My problem is that I just had blood test results that informed me that I have elevated Liver enzymes which is not good. I was wondering if anyone else in this forum who exercises

starting NDT
hello I’ve been on levothyroxine for about 15 years and today I’m switching to NDT. My practioner told me to start at 15mg then increase to 30mg ,60mg being the maximum. As I hadn’t received her email yet I took 30 mg today which was too much. Tomorrow I’ll start at 15 mg,how often should I increase

I live in the US and have an endochronologist (excuse the spelling)..........I have been on 50 mcg for about 15 years............and this dose seemed to be on the medium side. Your dose seemed alot lower because of the decimal point you wrote (not sure if they even make synthroid at that super low level

Just a quicky
Hello chaps and chapesses.Hope all is good. Just wondered, has anyone used Lindens Health and Nutrition supplements? My thyroid check blood test showed my Vit D had dropped to 34 (usually in the 50s taking Ad Cal) which may explain why I've felt like I've been walking through treacle for the past few

ADVICE
Hello, Apologies for such a short notice in requesting advice about taking Levothyroxine and Liothyronine therapy before a blood test on Wednesday 7 August at 12.20 pm at my surgery. I am aware the tests should be done before 9 am but this is an emergency test so they could not give me an early morning
