TCE Is Linked to Heart Defects in Babies, Cancer and Parkinson’s. Republicans in Congress Want to Reverse a Ban on It.
—

The toxic substance, used in dry cleaning and manufacturing, has been linked to a host of serious health problems. A Biden-era ban on the chemical has faced multiple challenges since Trump took office.

"The war the Musk/Trump regime is waging against America's health care has not been contained to a single organ of our government. It is already metastasizing into every aspect of our lives.

They are working to 'simultaneously increase toxins in our air, food, and water.'"

~ Jason Sattler

TOXIC POLLUTION
polluters still at it

#Israeli forces advanced deeper into #Gaza Strip on Friday & blew up only specialised #cancer #hospital in the territory

Hospital was located in #Netzarim Corridor, which splits Gaza in 2 and was controlled by Israeli troops for most of the 17-month-long war

Israel moved to retake the corridor this week shortly after breaking the ceasefire with #Hamas

"President Trump has said his administration is taking Tesla incidents very seriously.'“People that get caught sabotaging Teslas will stand a very good chance of going to jail for up to twenty years, and that includes the funders.'" Would that his administration took #free speech, #education, #cancer, #Alzheimer's, & #measles etc. this seriously.

“I would just like to know what information they’re reviewing that sways their determination to renew this man’s license,” said Lisa Warwick, whose husband, Scot, died after 11 years of chemotherapy and other treatments for a cancer he never had.

I teach undergrads at a prestigious programme in a research university. Most of my students don't know how to copy a file from a folder to another on their computer. I teach computer-based skills and it's often a source of grief and self doubt to these able, confident, well off young people. On a few occasions, of tears.

My mother, disabled and with a mental health condition, has dropped out from her #cancer treatment because she wasn't able to get through the ticketing system at the reception of the hospital. She lived in the capital, had a caring daughter available on the phone, and a network of support.

I just got a glimpse of the #autism treatment in the #Netherlands, a progressive country with high digital literacy. Autism diagnosis requires a referral from a GP, but the GP does not necessarily know much about autism and autism treatment centers are extremely specific about what needs to be mentioned in the referral. I am told that many autistic people have difficulty making phone calls. The autism diagnosis and treatment facility can only be contacted by phone. The waiting time for appointment is 30 weeks and, when the appointment takes place and your case turns out to differ in any way from what your uninformed GP has written in the referral, your case gets rejected and you have to get a new referral and start again. The GP could get instructions from the treatment center via a dedicated system called zorgmail, but neither side knows how to use it. If you manage to log into the online appointment system that is, which does not work and has no contact information to any support. I, a numerate computer nerd who enjoys puzzles, needed three days to crack it.

What is this micro-blog about?

#uxdesign saves lives

#uxdesign should be obligatory in the process of #patient intake and journey

Digital medical services should be accessible to teenagers with confidence issues and elderly people terrified by a terminal diagnosis.

What destroying the literal health of the body politic looks like. Here is a list of the grants canceled by #HHS. They include research on #Cancer, #Covid, #HIV, #Alzheimer's. As @GottaLaff says, #ProLifeMyAss (I think that's how she puts it).

wow - With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the helm of the National Institute of Health, scientists are now being told to erase any mention of mRNA technology in their grant applications.

"Canada, this is an opportunity to reclaim the mRNA platform by investing heavily in its local development. It truly is transformative technology that will help define a new age of immunotherapy."

I have had some good news this week from my Oncologist my Cancer has not spread and stabilised so the tablets are working.

Just now a matter of learning to cope with constant fatigue.

Do you have friends that feel like family? I sure do. And one of them was just diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma and starts treatment April 1. This is for my "sister" of 43 years!

Scientists in China have developed a new cancer treatment by engineering tumors to mimic pork, triggering the body's immune system to attack them with precision. Using a genetically modified virus, they disguise cancer cells as foreign pig tissue, leading to a hyperacute immune rejection response that attacks the tumors while leaving healthy cells intact. The study was published in the journal Cell on January 18, 2025.
