Zinc supplementation improved insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress in people with diabetes or prediabetes, even though it didn't clearly lower blood glucose. This fits with the biology of zinc. Inside the pancreas, it helps insulin molecules assemble into compact structures so they can be safely stored and released when blood glucose rises. Zinc also supports insulin signaling and antioxidant defenses, both of which can become disrupted in diabetes. This doesn’t mean everyone should supplement. Any benefit may depend heavily on whether someone is getting enough zinc in the first place, while excessive zinc intake carries risks of its own (like interfering with copper absorption).

🚨 🇺🇸UNACCEPTABLE: Orlín Hernandez Reyes was 2 years old. He was a US citizen. He was beaten to death in Florida last month. His mother Wendy is in Honduras. ICE deported her in January. She was a day laborer laying concrete. Her car got pulled over in Alabama. The local sheriff handed her to ICE under the federal 287(g) program. She begged to take Orlín with her. She says ICE refused. ICE says she was offered the option and abandoned him. Wendy says she asked repeatedly. The uncle she was forced to leave Orlín with had a documented history of beating his own children with cords and wires. He’s been charged with felony murder. The medical examiner found burns, multiple broken ribs, a transected pancreas, and evidence of repeated blows over a month. ICE Director Todd Lyons issued a press release calling Wendy a mother who “abandoned” her son to “a violent murderer.” A Florida activist told reporters she knew of six children left behind in a single week after their parents were deported.

People mistakenly believe peptides are only good. Peptides can be bad, too. They can cause adverse effects. Some dangerous. I did a peptide experiment and measured its effects in my body. The results are complicated. I tried a peptide called CJC-1295. It pushed my growth hormone up by ~8x. That’s good. That’s what it was supposed to do. But, it also came with adverse effects: > increased my morning fasted blood sugar up 20% > increased stress hormone by 12% > tanked my REM sleep by 23% > made my pancreas work 53% harder and was still losing to rising blood glucose > increased my insulin resistance by 50% These were the most obvious side effects, and I only ran a very narrow panel for this experiment. So I’m sure there’s more. I stopped after two doses, without even reaching the intended target dose. For those of you new to peptides, your body sends instructions to itself using tiny chemical messengers called peptides. There are thousands of them. For example, GLP-1s are drugs that take an existing class of short-lived peptides and modify them to extend their activity duration, which turns them into drugs, following rigorous clinical testing. CJC-1295 is one of those peptide-drugs. It tells your brain to release more growth hormone. Growth hormone is your body's signal to build muscle, repair tissue, and recover. However, and like most grey market peptides, CJC-1295 did not succeed its clinical trial, and hence never became an “official” drug. There is a version called CJC-1295 with DAC. DAC is an attachment glued onto the peptide that makes it last for days in your body instead of hours. One shot, longer effect, just like GLP-1s. Why people use it: more growth hormone could mean better recovery, leaner body, faster healing. The experiment I completed. Two injections a week of CJC-1295 with DAC: > 1.2 mg > 1.8 mg 48 hours after the first injection I was nearly comatose. It felt like severe jet lag, the type you’d feel after traveling nine time zones. My sleep was wrecked and I felt continuously awful. My REM sleep dropped by 23%. REM is when your brain processes memories and repairs itself. Less time for my brain to repair itself. During the experiment, I never felt rested and always fatigued. Why we chose CJC-1295 with DAC. Some will say we picked the wrong peptide. They will say I should have used a different version, CJC-1295 without DAC, mixed with another peptide called Ipamorelin. We went with CJC-1295 with DAC instead as it has the most controlled studies. CJC-1295 with DAC has 2 controlled trials in healthy adults. Ipamorelin alone has 1 controlled trial in healthy adults, plus 1 study that failed when they tried it on bowel surgery patients. The mix of the two has zero controlled trials. On Ipamorelin, it copies a chemical called ghrelin, the one that makes you hungry. On its own it gives you a quick burst of growth hormone that fades fast. It does not keep your longer acting growth signal (called IGF-1) up. Clinics mix Ipamorelin with CJC-1295 no-DAC because the two together are supposed to work better. But we don’t know if that’s accurate because we don’t have trial data. This is a problem with peptides. Almost none of them have been tested properly. We are flying blind. Most of what people use is based on what someone said online, what a clinic claims, or what a friend reports from their subjective feelings. Peptides have the potential to be great when well-studied.

Pancreatic cancer was long considered one of medicine’s deadliest diagnoses. But today, the FDA approved @RevMedicines' Daraxonrasib - a new treatment that has in trials nearly doubled how long patients survive compared to standard chemotherapy. Daraxonrasib works by targeting a molecule, KRAS, that until now was considered undruggable. The story is a reflection of biotech at its best - pioneering what was once believed impossible, persevering through booms and busts, bringing together enabling research, academic labs, and industry to create breakthroughs for patients and their families.  The FDA deserves our commendation for approving this life-changing treatment with the urgency it demanded, and for moving quickly to allow patients to begin accessing it even before formal approval. Who can say how many lives have been extended - how many more birthdays and weddings and anniversaries will be celebrated - thanks to this wonder of science. Here’s to continuing the momentum on revolutionary new treatments for cancer.

Revolution Medicines’s pancreatic cancer drug won the backing of a key EU advisory panel, the company said in a statement Thursday, moving the life-extending medicine closer to reaching patients in the 27-nation bloc
