Reply to US public investment in critical research contributed to the success of mRNA Covid vaccines, and saved millions of lives by geoxol

If a country’s govt paid for the research, then citizens of that country should get the drug at cost of manufacturing and distribution; approximately the cost of an average generic drug. The taxpayers of the country that paid should also recrive royalties on profits from foreign sales of the product they paid to develop. EDIT: maybe my comment should be in/economics.

Yes, go to a different doctor. Or ask the current one about Viberzi if you have IBS-D. Also look into Yoga and yoga breathing techniques. Yoga is meant to manipulate/calm the vagus nerve, which is a major factor in IBS health.

As unintuitive as it sounds you can try Miralax even for IBS-D. Look up a miralax bowel prep and do the first couple days. It works wonders for me as it actually clears out my colon and I get relief.

2nd opinions are very very important because most doctors are lazy and wildly arrogant. There's not mechanism for correcting these people, it's a broken system in a huge number of ways.

Reply to A study found that "cannabis use is common amongst patients with tinnitus and current users of cannabis reported that it helped with their symptoms." by OregonTripleBeam

I had a weird like 6+ months with a low “industrial hummmmmm” tinnitus that would come and go (mostly indoors) or somehow I was picking up these humms just more easily for some reason. It would drive me mad at some points and thought I totally screwed up my ears somehow. I still to this day don’t understand it because it usually happened indoors mostly but if I focus I can hear it outside. Happy to say I can slightly pick up the hum now if I focus on it but not to the point where it’s making me nauseous. My temporary tinnitus was always high pitch never ever a looooow churning hum. Smoking did nothing, I would try to knock myself out to make it stop. I don’t wish it on my enemy.
