All (most) octreotide doses for sulfonylurea poisoning are beautiful and valid but you don’t have to poke people with extra needles just because it was trendy in the 90s.

You are a contestant on Iron Chef. Your judges are 3-year-olds. Your secret ingredient is succimer. Toxicologists: what dish/drink are you making?

Disastrous news from the Philippines- the Court of Appeals has sided with Greenpeace and the antis in blocking vit-A enhanced Golden Rice, which is now in widespread cultivation in the country. All planting must now stop, harming the interests of millions.

Please don't mix fruits and a whole lot of raw green and colored veggies into a blender and make yourself a detox juice if you have pre existing liver disease.
This is the second patient this week who seems to have developed kidney injury after daily consumption of home made fruit+veggie juice.
A blend of gooseberries, beetroot, spinach & green leaves along with a host of citrus fruits is a new fad thats developing after WhatsApp and YouTube "doctors" have been promoting then as "liver health" options.
Please don't do it. It can cause OXALATE KIDNEY INJURY and the kidneys take a LONG time to recover.
