Tymczasem rzutem na taśmę, tuż przed ciszą wyborczą, zapraszamy na drugi odcinek prezydencki Podkastu Dezinformacyjnego. Dowiecie się z niego dlaczego Maciej Maciak może i jest śmieszny i smutny, ale przecież Braun też tak wyglądał dekadę temu. Dowiecie się, że Marek Jakubiak prawdopodobnie kupował sobie podpisy, a gość, który mu to robił, jest dzisiaj w sztabie kandydata Bartoszewicza, który też przyszedł znikąd i nagle miał podpisy. Dowiecie się także co Bartoszewicz mówi o wojnie w Ukrainie i dlaczego nie warto się nabierać na “antysystemowość” takich kandydatów. I dlaczego trzeba ostrożnie z memiczną Joanną Senyszyn, której niektórzy z Was mogą nie pamiętać z czasów starego SLD.Dywagujemy sobie także na temat roli Krzysztofa Stanowskiego i Brauna. A także pozwalamy sobie liczyć (hehe) razem poparcie Magdy Biejat i Adriana Zandberga, które w kolejnych sondażach przekracza 10% - wynik niewidziany na lewicy od 15 lat. Zastanawiamy się ile w tym dobrej kampanii, a ile prawicowego skrętu Rafała Trzaskowskiego. Pytamy także “po co i dlaczego” Szymon Hołownia w ogóle bierze udział w tym wyścigu. Więcej czasu poświęcamy oczywiście górnym trzem kandydatom. Ku naszej uldze, Sławek zaliczył spektakularny zjazd z sondażowych szczytów w marcu. Wśród powodów był prawdopodobnie ten, że światło dzienne ujrzał doradca ds. wojskowych Sławka - niejaki Jacek Hoga. Zaimportowany od Brauna radykał, który żali się, że w Polsce nie ma oficjalnego stronnictwa rosyjskiego. Z kolei Tadeusz Batyr ewidentnie nie sprawdził się w swojej roli z powodów, że tak powiem, osobistych. Okazało się bowiem, że robienie kampanii na rozpisce treningowej, zawłaszczaniu mieszkań starszych ludzi oraz znajomości z neonazistami - gwarantuje wynik nawet niższy niż sondażowe poparcie dla macierzystej partii. Wreszcie ze smutkiem konstatujemy, że Rafał Trzaskowski właściwie nie musiał nic robić (i nie robił), a i tak pewnie wygra. Ba, Rafał mocno starał się zniechęcić do siebie całe grupy “naturalnego” dla niego elektoratu, co być może zaowocowało wzrostem Biejat i Zandberga.Wyszło z tego ponad dwie godziny.

his conversation is the concluding segment of  SurfingMASH's coverage of the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference on the SLD Spectrum diseases: MASLD, MetALD and ALD. In addition to co-hosts Louise Campbell and Roger Green, panelists include EASL Secretary General Aleksander Krag, hepatologist Alex Lalos and Jenn Leigh Jones, Founder of the Society for Sober Livers Survival patient advocacy group.The conversation starts with Roger questioning whether it is a good or bad idea to conduct separate studies on medicines' effect on MetALD patients. He notes Anna Marie Diehl's presentation at the Conference, which suggested that regardless of organ, all cell senescence and death results from iron overload, and asks whether we should be studying this phenomenon. Aleksander agrees that important questions around iron exist and should be addressed in future research. He places this issue in context by noting that after decades of failed drug trials, SLD research has produced a string of exciting successes using different modes of action. The group turns to discuss cirrhosis, based on recent presentations from Akero Therapeutics for its agent efruxifermin. Alex notes that his quick read of slides revealed that some of the cirrhosis patients had fairly advanced disease. He expresses a high level of enthusiasm that the prospective MASLD therapies discussed in this meeting will be the third major advance during his career in medicine.Roger asks the group two closing questions: one lesson each panelist is taking from the meeting and one message they would like to share with listeners. The group members all land in a similar place: there is a spectrum running from MASLD through MetALD to ALD and we are learning how their commonalities and differences are the keys to developing better treatments and guidelines.

00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6 Episode 4 Surfing the MASH Tsunami concludes its coverage of the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference on MASLD, MetALD and ALD. This week, the panelists focus on pivotal messages that attendees took away from the conference and what messages they would like to share with listeners. Our newsmaker, Fatty Liver Alliance and CEO Mike Betel, discusses the lessons he has taken from being invited to a far wider swath of conferences this year and shares the messages he delivers to these new audiences. Finally, our expert, hepatology research and key opinion leader Mazen Noureddin, discusses recent advances in drug development, focusing on agents in Phase 3 trials.00:04:24 - IntroductionHost Roger Green briefly describes this episode's three sections and one key lesson from each.00:06:03 - Roundtable: Highlights from the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference, Part 4This is the concluding portion of our Emerging Trends Conference Roundtable. The group focuses on key lessons they have learned and messages they would like listeners to take from this conversation.  The pivotal idea is that SLD is a spectrum running from MASLD through MetALD to ALD. Researchers and treaters will all do best in developing and implementing therapies and guidelines with this thought in mind. Aleksander Krag stresses this idea and notes that, with several different classes of drugs demonstrating positive impact, it will be an exciting decade ahead as we learn how to apply these drugs along the spectrum. Jenn Jones and Alex Lalos note the importance of identifying MetALD, although Jenn noted that it does not seem wise to conduct trials solely with MetALD patients at this time.  00:22:04 - Newsmaker: Mike Betel on the Increased Visibility of Patient AdvocatesThis week's newsmaker, Mike Betel, has experienced a significant increase in the number of conferences at which he is invited to speak or appear on a panel. This discussion centers around the reasons Mike believes this is happening and the message(s) he delivers. To Mike, his most important contribution lies in the amount of information he sends back from each event, many of which surpass 30% download rates (and some even hit 50%). He discusses his value in diabetes, endocrinology and obesity meetings, where he brings a "liver" perspective and co-education opportunity to these events. The entire experience has taught him about the need not to stigmatize patients and reinforced his belief in the importance of tailoring care to patients' needs and personalities. 00:49:28 - Expert: Mazen Noureddin on the Exciting MASLD Drug Development EnvironmentHepatologist and Key Opinion Leader Mazen Noureddin joins Roger to discuss major advances in drug development over the past year. He covers a range of different drug classes, focusing on stages of development and the range of options within each class. Specifically, he discusses the FGF-21 agents, the range of patients for whom they might be appropriate, how efruxifermin's 96-week results may make the idea of "induction therapy" less appropriate,  and the exciting early data on cirrhosis patients. He provides some detail on the various incretin agonist options, why hepatologists are particularly excited about combinations that include a glucagon agent, and what kinds of results we might expect in upcoming trials. He goes on to discuss the pan-PPAR lanifibranor, the FASN inhibitor denifenstat, and notes ongoing work on new classes and combination therapies. In general, he paints, I think, not a rosy, but an extremely optimistic picture of what the future will be for patients who need to be treated for fatty liver. 01:09:38 - Business Report Roger discusses the next Roundtable and provides some details on SurfingMASH's coverage of the upcoming EASL Congress.

This week's Expert is Jeff McIntyre, Vice President, Liver Programs at the Global Liver Institute. His major topic is how recent high-level FDA job cuts might affect MASH drug and diagnostics development. He also shares reactions to FibroSIGHT, HistoIndex's new digital pathology service for clinical practice. Highlight: Recent job cuts at the FDA will produce chaos in government and slow response to any emerging crises.Second Highlight: Patient self-advocacy becomes even more important in this environment.The conversation takes place on April 1, which lends context to Jeff's opening comment about the rate and nature of change in Washington, DC. He and Roger quickly focus on high-level job cuts at the FDA. Jeff believes that the clearest outcome from these changes is that the government will be less able to respond promptly and in a medically appropriate manner to future health crises. Jeff agrees with former FDA Commissioner Rob Califf's comment that the FDA as we know it "is dead," and that we have little idea what the future holds. A slower-moving, more chaotic government with a Secretary of HHS who minimizes pharmacotherapies for alternative therapies presents a challenge for all SLD patients. Jeff states that patients need to become more vigilant self-advocates (even more than they are today). He also identifies patient advocacy organizations like GLI as a place patients can go to seek the guidance and support they need from patient advocates. Finally, the conversation turns to discuss FibroSIGHT. Jeff describes FibroSIGHT as "exactly where we should be and should not be at the same time," a technology that takes a significant step forward in understanding and patient support, but one that ties us to biopsy as a standard for clinical care. Jeff and Roger agree this issue will play out over the coming years.

00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6 Episode 2Surfing the MASH Tsunami continues its coverage of the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference on MASLD, MetALD and ALD. This week, the panelists focus on disease epidemiology and what it can teach us about the relative importance of alcohol and diet on disease progression. Our newsmaker, hepatology KOL and frequent Surfer Hannes Hagstrom, discusses what a recent paper demonstrates about the impact of MASLD on 15-year mortality and cause of death and how this information can improve patient care. Finally, our Expert, Shelbyville, Indiana internist Emily Ann Andeya, discusses her path from practicing internal medicine to focus on liver health (HINT: the common theme is insulin resistance).00:04:40 - IntroductionHost Roger Green briefly describes this episode's three sections and one key lesson from each.00:05:49 - Roundtable: Highlights from the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference, Part 2 The second portion of our Roundtable focuses on relative impact of alcohol and diet on disease progression and overall mortality and morbidity. It starts with Aleksander Krag sharing the highlights of his epidemiology presentation at the Emerging Trends Conference. Dr. Krag points out that while the vast majority of SLD patient live with MASLD, the vast majority of hospitalized patients and those living with late-stage cirrhosis live with ALD. Similarly, for the average patient, living with MetALD is more lethal than living with MASLD. Aleksander points out another challenge in defining where a patient lives on the ALD -> MetALD -> MASLD spectrum: patients' level of alcohol consumption is likely to change over time and many ALD or MetALD cirrhosis patients stop drinking altogether. The rest of this section considers the importance of stigma in correctly classifying patients and why genetics may become key to a message that minimizes patient stigma.00:25:50 - Newsmaker: Hepatology Researcher and KOL Hannes Hagstrom of the Karolinska Institute joins Roger to discuss cause-specific mortality in Swedish MASLD patientsOn March 24, the Journal of Hepatology posted a paper titled Cause-specific mortality in 13,099 patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in Sweden. Co-author Hannes Hagstrom joins Roger to discuss the paper's key findings and implications for care. The key finding: living with MASLD leads to a significant increase in 15-year mortality. The most frequent cause of death among MASLD patients is cardiovascular disease, but the greatest increases in relative risk were due to HCC (HR ~ 35) and extra-hepatic cancers (HR ~ 26). Hannes points out that these results can serve as the beginning of a process where physicians can compute the risk at which individual patients place themselves through diet or alcohol patterns, which can aid patient understanding of the disease.00:44:22 - Experts: Internist Emily Ann Andeya discusses how she developed the commitment to treating liver disease that made her a "unicorn" in the words of one AASLD panelist and also brought her to attend the Emerging Trends Conference last monthRoger first met Emily Ann Andeya when she asked a question at a session of last fall's The Liver Meeting, and again at the Emerging Trends Conference, where Emily and her colleagues were likely the only primary care physicians in the room. Emily describes the path by which she went from wanting to be a cardiologist during medical school in the Philippines through years of nursing in the US to primary care practice and, how, focus on the liver as a key to overall metabolic health. Listen as Emily explains the importance of understanding insulin resistance in her transition, and how her vision affects the way she and her colleagues practice, the goals they set, and the exceptional levels of care they achieve.01:08:56 Business Report

In this week's episode of the Empower LEP Podcast, host Jana Parker welcomes Dr. Ed Schultz, the brilliant and enthusiastic mind behind the Core Selective Evaluation Process (C-SEP). Dr. Schultz is passionate about revolutionizing how we identify Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) by cutting through outdated, complex testing methods and focusing on what truly matters. As a professor of special education, trainer, and consultant, Dr. Schultz brings a wealth of knowledge on making evaluations more efficient and meaningful for students and educators alike.You'll hear all about Dr. Schultz's C-SEP approach, which focuses on using a core set of tests to identify patterns of strengths and weaknesses without overburdening students with unnecessary assessments. He emphasizes the power of achievement data and the importance of understanding the task demands of each test, challenging traditional reliance on cognitive assessments alone. Dr. Schultz also explores hot topics like the role of cognitive testing in dyslexia assessments, the debate around vision therapy, and why ensuring evaluations reflect real-world learning is key.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Schultz shares personal stories from his career, from working with students in mental health settings to developing innovative approaches to SLD identification. He stresses the importance of focusing on ecological validity, ensuring that what happens in the testing room connects to what's actually going on in the classroom. Dr. Schultz's practical advice will help LEPs, school psychologists, and educators streamline their evaluation process and make their work more impactful.This high-energy episode is packed with info and ideas for anyone looking to rethink their approach to assessments, reduce the testing burden, and truly support students' learning.

You've heard of absence making the heart grow fonder, but for SLDs….absence makes the heart overvalue their partner, their contributions, and their abilities. SLDs or Self Love Deficients tend to have a poor self concept, rely on their partners for validation and codependently cling to their partners in regard to their emotional needs. This can result in the SLD being abandoned, which further destroys their self esteem and self worth. To avoid abandonment, the SLD may employ manipulation tactics, people please or begin fawning over their partner, which develops into overvaluation.

00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 19During EASL Congress 2024, US-based Roger Green, conducted interviews with Mike Betel, Louise Campbell (twice) and Sven Francque from Milano. These interviews focused on the major MASLD themes and presentations at the event. 00:04:14 - Conversation with Mike Betel beginsOn Wednesday, the first afternoon of the meeting, Mike Betel joined Roger from the convention center. The first part of the conversation centered  on the Patient Advocate session that Mike chaired with Shira Zelber-Sagi. The session's goal was to discuss barriers to addressing unmet needs in a clinical setting and explore potential solutions. Mike's key takeaway: patients around the world are having challenges getting personal attention and time from their treaters. The rest of this interview touched briefly on other sessions Mike attended. 00:15:23 - First conversation with Louise Campbell Roger's first interview with Louise took place late on Thursday. She described the "really nice vibe" of the meeting, dampened by the fact that Stephen Harrison is no longer with us.The first session Louise chose to discuss was the previous day's Patient Advocate session. To her, the key point was to learn a key question that every provider should share with every patient once a year. She briefly mentioned the one presentation from the day's General Session she was able to attend:  analysis of the predictive value of VCTE.00:19:53 - Philosophically important presentationsLouise discussed two sessions that delivered powerful, somewhat novel messages. The first was a symposium sponsored by Novo Nordisk about how SLD treatment could "manage the cardiometabolic side...rather than focusing on liver disease." The second was the "Healthy Livers, Healthy Lives" presentation which presented "very startling figures" about SLD impact on US healthcare costs and productivity and how and why India has targeted this disease aggressively. 00:26:29 - Building momentum and energy around AI Louise and Roger both observed that momentum is building in MASLD and mentioned why they believe this is happening, 00:33:05 - Second conversation with Louise beginsTwo days later, Louise and Roger conducted a second conversation, which focused on her enthusiasm for the updated Clinical Practice Guidelines and their practical implications. 00:36:12 - CPG session implicationsLouise said this session had "blown her mind" with its forward-thinking style and recommendations. Her favorite point? The guidelines mentioned resmetirom even before it was approved in Europe.   00:44:07 - Thoughts about medicationsRoger suggested that CPG aligned broadly with the drug presentations in the Late Breaker and General sessions. Collectively, those highlighted drugs with an array of modes of action and strengths across the metabolic continuum.  00:46:09 - Thoughts about devicesRoger asked whether Louise believed that, over time, the diagnostic focus would shift from liver stiffness and CAP to in-office PDFF. Louise discusses why this might be difficult.00:51:48 - Conversation with Sven beginsThis conversation, which took place 90 minutes after the final gavel, started with Sven praising the "vibrant hepatology community" evident at the meeting. From there, the discussion covered the Clinical Practice Guidelines, major drug development presentations and other categories. The conversation is fairly short, but packed with information and insight. 01:06:42 - Question of the WeekRoger asks what kinds of support and education primary care will need to step into a leading role in treating SLD.01:07:13 - Business ReportPlans for the next month, growth of the SurfingMASH Community, a special surprise instead of the Vault.

She is the first SurfingMASH guest who has actually served as a radio host (old podcasters like Roger live with awe and respect for radio hosts!) Second, Jörn Schattenberg asks her to discuss her pivotal role in LiverAIM, the largest randomized control trial ever anticipated in SLD. This episode provides not only an excellent understanding of a first-time panelist we hope will join us often in the future, but also an introduction to LiverAIM, a study that will likely be the focus of many SurfingMASH episodes in years to come.

Co-hosts Jeff Lazarus and Jörn Schattenberg discuss the overall design, after which participants Maja Thiele and Mike Betel share their reactions.  The conversation starts with Jeff providing background and rationale for the #SLDThinkTank 2024 design. He starts by referring back to an initial meeting in 2019 and the first two years of INCBCN (Season 4, Episodes 13, 23; Season 3, Episodes 18, 24).  He then describes why he felt a small-group brainstorming approach might work better than the last two years of PowerPoint presentations and group questions. This agenda, which was designed to encourage dialogue that generated new answers to the largest questions in SLD, included five "hot topic" sections, two focused workshops and an innovative ideation concept called Open Spaces.When Jeff finishes, Jörn describes how the highly innovative "Open Spaces" element actually worked in his section of the room.Maja and Mike share their impressions of the meeting. Maja starts by praising the Open Space concept, which she describes as "especially fruitful" due to the diversity of attendees. After Mike seconds her comment about diversity, she goes on to describe what she did during Open Spaces. The rest of the group chimes in with points about the design.

Jörn provides color about how Open Spaces actually worked. 00:20:13 - Participants' experiencesMaja praises Open Spaces, which she describes as "especially fruitful" due to the diversity of attendees. After Mike seconds this comment, she describes her Open Spaces experience. 00:25:53 - Meeting highlights Roger asks participants to describe their highlights from the meeting. Jeff describes the paper(s) that will result from this meeting, lists the ten major issues the group developed for ending the SLD pandemic, after which he elaborates on a few of these.00:29:40 - The Magic Wand exerciseJörn: at the end of the first session, chairs gave participants a "Magic Wand" to achieve their goals. He notes a consensus that "we ha[ve] mechanisms and biomarkers," but face major public and policy challenges if we are to slow the MASLD growth rate meaningfully.  Maja notes the long timeline from research to implementation. 00:33:09 - Improving utilizationMike discusses prevention separate from treatment: There are only 94 FibroScan devices in Canada, and even these are underutilized. The group discusses what will be necessary to improve scanner use in a future world where having medicines motivates medical stakeholders.To Jeff, this discussion provided a sense of how the Open Space session worked and why this is the right design for big issues like "getting better bang for the buck." 00:43:59 - NIT Summit Jörn discusses the NIT Summit, which preceded the #SLDThinkTank. He sees this as a first step toward acknowledging that we need to train more people and find ways to train them better.  Jeff agrees.Maya describes Elliott Tapper's state-of-the-art talk on social media.

This conversation starts by focusing on the impact of concomitant metabolic therapies in MASH drug development and patient treatment and then moves on to explore some major implications of the earlier conversations. Roger Green begins this conversation by returning to the issue of metabolic drugs. Specifically, he mentions a recent tirzepatide Phase 3 trial that demonstrated efficacy against symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. Louise Campbell points out that sleep apnea correlates highly with SLD as well as obesity. She suggests this is one more point proving that we need to educate more physician specialties on liver health and educate them more effectively. Will Alazawi agrees with Louise's comment, citing a talk he and a colleague gave at the Diabetes UK conference the previous week that was part of an academic session on liver disease, noting that the session itself was well-attended. Will emphasizes applauding Diabetes UK for arranging and promoting this kind of multidisciplinary academic session of MASLD and MASH. Roger shifts focus by asking what insights investors or other professionals who listen to the episode should take from this discussion. Jörn Schattenberg starts with the most important point: we now know how to get a drug approved. Considering other drugs in development, he adds that the drugs we are studying now may be potent enough to overcome issues that challenged earlier agents. Sven Francque adds that in future years, prior use of incretin double-agonists and triple-agonists will change the nature of the MASH patient population and make drugs like Rezdiffra that have liver-specific modes of action more important and valuable.

In this conversation, Sven Francque and William Alazawi join Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell, and Roger Green to review papers co-authored by Sven in 2023 and Jörn in 2020 to discuss what failure has taught us about future MASH drug development.00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 12Roger comments briefly on Stephen Harrison's passing and explains why this episode will be more sedate than usual.00:01:45 - IntroductionOpening comments from panelists.00:02:28 - GroundbreakersEach panelist shares one piece of good news from the previous week (NOTE: This was recorded before Stephen's death.)00:05:10 - Sven Francque on the State of the Graveyard in 2023Sven starts by noting how different the world is now than when he co-authored this paper in 2023. He goes on to describe three key issues in successful trials that are as relevant now as when the episode was written.00:10:59 - Efficacy endpoint challengesThe group discusses an array of challenges: that fibrosis regressions is a high bar, that patient heterogeneity presents a dilemma for trial recruitment, and that NAS score presents its own challenges. 00:18:29 - Thinking more broadly about metabolic valuesLouise suggests that in addition to stabilizing MASH, endpoints might look at related metabolic diseases that poor liver health can affect. The group considers whether placebo rates can provide guidance and reconsiders the regression and response rate issues, noting the differences between RCT patients and those in usual clinical practice.  00:28:05 - Lessons from 2020 Graveyard articleRoger asks what we have learned since 2020. Jörn points to improved consistency in reading biopsy results and greater diligence in analyzing pre-clinical data before rushing into larger late-stage trials. 00:31:49 - Implications for metabolic agents on MASH therapies Roger returns to the issue of complex drug effects, noting a recent tirzepatide Phase 3 trial on dual agonist's effect on obstructive sleep apnea. Louise notes that apnea correlates highly with SLD. Louise and Will discuss the importance of educating more physician specialties about liver health. Will discusses a presentation he made to an academic session on MASH at the Diabetes UK conference the previous week and noted that it was well-attended.00:36:05 - Looking aheadRoger asks what insights investors and others might take from this discussion. To Jörn,  (i) we now know how to get a drug approved, and (ii) drugs in development today may be potent enough to overcome issues that challenged earlier agents. Sven adds that in future years, the use of incretin double-agonists and triple-agonists will change the nature of therapy. 00:42:23 - Wrap-up and closing questionLouise asks whether we are thinking broadly enough about older agents in MASH, using a recent study on low-dose aspirin (S5 - E11.) . Jörn and Roger each raise a practical challenge for such a trial.  After a brief digression, Roger asks his closing question: how will having a drug approved affect the conduct of trials going forward. Answers vary and present a complex picture. you'll have to listen to learn00:51:45 - Question of the WeekThe question asks for the greatest hurdle left to overcome that will improve the percent of MASH agents achieving approval and, separately, speed approval times.00:52:14 - Back-end reportThis report includes Roger's usual weekly comment on Ukraine and Israel, followed by a tribute to Stephen Harrison. This episode was recorded the day before Stephen Harrison's untimely passing. His influence on this entire podcast was massive. Three years after he ended his co-hosting stint, there are at least two references to his research, insights, or what we called "Stephenisms" during our first anniversary episode.

Nutritionists recommend organic foods for their high mineral and phytochemical content. However, we do not pay as much attention to our daily diet as to limit it to organic foods. We need supplements to correct nutrient deficiencies.   But despite their nutritional value, supplements have potential adverse health effects. My guest, Mary Esther Gilbert, has studied supplements for over 40 years and found that very few on the market are made from organically grown whole foods.   Synthetic supplements lose the enzyme factor and other nutrients in the production process. Conventional supplements also lack the cofactors that the body requires to absorb plant-based nutrients. Mary also points out that some supplements have additional ingredients with potential allergenic or health-damaging effects.   We need organic and whole food supplements. Mary offers the alternative of DNA drops, which are superior to nutritional supplements and contain whole food components with active enzymes to ease absorption and digestion.    Tune in to learn how you can use DNA drops to detox, repair the gut, and relieve inflammation and pain.    Today's Episode Explores: - How phytochemicals in plants help with elimination and detox of toxins in the body  - The problems with the carnivore and low-carb diets - The issues with conventional supplements - synthetic, don't absorb, don't have the bioenergetics of plant-based nutrients -  DNA Drops and how they are superior to other nutritional supplements - extraction method to retain viable healing nanoparticles from the plant cells, negative ions and submucosal delivery -  HPR DNA drops for the liver detox and support - how each botanical in HPR supports the liver - How the MLS DNA drop is specifically designed to aid with gut health, which is key to successful detoxification.  - My favorite DNA drop SLD to reduce inflammation and pain  For more information and to learn more about DNAdrops, visit www.myersdetox.com/DNADrops   After listening to this episode, you might be wondering about heavy metals.

Our first conversation focusing on the new MASLD nomenclature surfaces as part of our coverage of the EASL Congress 2023. Hepatology researchers and key opinion leaders Sven Francque and Ian Rowe joined Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to discuss the value of the new nomenclature and its current and anticipated impact on their practices. This conversation focuses on the outcome of the nomenclature process, a three-stage Delphi process that produced new names and classifications for what had previously been known as fatty liver disease and henceforth will be known as steatotic liver disease (SLD). Sven, who was actively involved in the entire exercise, gives a concise summary of the process by which the new classifications were developed and how the new terminology will work. The rest of the conversation focuses on three issues.Excitement that we will now have the opportunity to study patients whose disease has both metabolic and alcohol-based components.The processes by which the three clinicians, Sven, Ian and Jörn are starting to share the new structure with their patients with varying degrees of success. One interesting observation emerges here from Sven: the English language terms do not translate equally into Dutch, so there is a patient advocate-led effort to create a new set of terms in Dutch.Roger raises concerns about implementation planning for the new nomenclature. One concern is around the possible impact on drug or diagnostic development and the other is about the kinds of communication issues covered in earlier episodes. Sven, who again worked more closely on the process, states with confidence that the change will not have an impact on drug or diagnostic trials. Subsequent events prove Sven right.

Surfing the MASH Tsunami continues its 2023 wrap-up conversations with Global Liver Institute Founder and CEO Donna Cryer, along with co-hosts Louise Campbell and Roger Green. The conversation focuses on Donna's personal health challenges in late 2023, what her absence revealed about the strength and depth of the GLI team, and what she foresees as major challenges for 2024. The conversation starts with Donna discussing a major medical event in her life during the last few months in 2024, one during which, in her words, "I almost died." She speaks briefly but clearly about the nature of the event itself, as well as how and why she is rebounding to full strength. Donna goes on to describe how well the GLI team performed in her absence and the various forms of feedback she received confirming this. In response to a question from Louise, she notes that building a strong team has always been her priority at GLI and cites several past examples where the team has led while she assumed other roles and challenges. From here, Donna notes a major change in 2023: the evolution from being a liver community to what she describes as "a community that cares about the liver," a multi-specialty, multi-stakeholder group focused on the wider implications of liver disease and patient and public health. As examples of this broader community, she cites the common guidelines from AACE and AASLD, conversations with payers and a willingness from other liver disease groups to share capabilities with the SLD community. She goes on to note that none of this change happens quickly, but that in the 10 years since GLI was formed, the scale of change has been consequential.The discussion turns toward the process of nomenclature change. Donna notes her concern throughout the process that some important implementation steps were not being considered on as timely or thorough a basis as she would have hoped. Specifically, she cites the issue of ICD codes and the need to involve primary care providers and organizations into the key processes. Louise Campbell agrees, noting the challenges around bringing wider use of VCTE into the UK system even after NICE has accepted the need to do so. Donna notes that this is the reason that GLI is calling its annual event Global Fatty Liver Day, not to be "recalcitrant, but because, as a global organization, we recognize" that not all parts of the world have adopted this nomenclature. She anticipates using what she calls "bridging documents" so that people using different nomenclatues can explain the same processes. From here, the conversation transitions to cover the growing momentum and energy in the patient and advocate communities, as evidenced by general energy and Roger's experience (along with Mike Betel) of getting pushed out of overflow rooms for patient sessions at AASLD (listen to E50.2 for more details). Finally, the conversation returns to the value of the MetALD classification, some issues around Donna's recent health scare, and a promising view of the future.

Surfing the MASH Tsunami continues its 2023 wrap-up conversations with hepatology researcher and key opinion leader Naim Alkhouri of the Arizona Liver Health Institute, along with co-hosts Louise Campbell and Roger Green. The conversation focuses on viewing the year's major events in drug development, non-invasive tests (NITs) and clinical care pathways.This conversation starts with Roger asking Naim his reaction to 2023. Naim starts by mentioning his disappointment that OCA did not get approved but shares his vision that the data presentation did not support approval and his hope and belief that resmetirom will fare better. From there, he shifts quickly to discuss being "a little bit disappointed" at the implementation of the AACE and AGA guidelines. In practical terms, he has not seen a single referral from primary care practices (PCP) for elevated FIB-4. He notes that this will require better education of PCPs, but also expresses concern that the guidelines might not be practical for them. In the effort "not to miss a single patient," he believes, authors have created a system with too many patients screened, found negative, and sent back to the PCP. Instead, he suggests, guidelines should have a more realistic goal (reducing unidentified patients from 95% to 80%) and rely on higher FIB-4 cutoffs until PCPs have integrated the concept of MASH screening into their practices. Wrapping up his view of 2023, he describes it as a "good year," although unfortunately one in which drug approval and increased pathway use did not occur.Roger suggests that the same phenomenon -- worrying more about making things perfect than making them implementable -- applied to the original rollout of the new nomenclature as well as pathways, and goes on to discuss what he sees as the behavioral psychology implications of the pathway guidelines. Naim responds with two suggestions: raise the minimum PIB-4 score at which patients are referred to 2.67 and, in the US, reflex to an ELF test before sending patients to specialists. Louise notes that ELF is not as readily available in the UK as Americans might assume. Roger adds that it might be of value to educate PCPs on the value of FIB-4 as predictive of MACE and other forms of mortality.Roger asks Naim to describe the "biggest wins" of 2023. Naim starts by citing specific advances in NITs, specifically mentioning NIS-2+ and MASEF (discussed in S4 E39). In terms of medications, he discussed the double- and triple-incretin agonists and their ability to support patients in defatting their livers and notes that, of course, resmetirom's positive Phase 3 results are the biggest story. His third item is the expansion of multi-specialty meetings that educate other specialties on SLD, why it matters, and what roles the other specialties can play in diagnosing and managing MASH patients. Roger's next question is about disappointments. Naim wishes FDA had moved further and faster in alternate drug approval pathways and metrics, but sees progress in terms of their openness to exploring NITs and, more exciting, their recently stated willingness to grant full approvals in cirrhosis based on histology. Roger asks how AI fits into the emerging picture. Naim states that AI analyses can teach a great deal about the disease, but is not practical for patient treatment. The last question: his most optimistic picture for 2024 starts with resmetirom approval, goes on to mention several exciting potential drug development results and then discusses creating MASL Centers of Excellence relying on robust NITs for diagnosis and management.

He explains how pathological narcissists exploit vulnerable codependents/SLD's by making them believe the initial false love can be brought back/rekindled."Drug Happiness" represents the codependent's belief that the Human Magnet Syndrome compelled "soulmate" experience is real and lasting. In truth, it is a temporary condition that disappears shortly after the beginning of the relationship. Pathological narcissists who are afraid of losing their SLD partner may try to re-enact the beginning of the relationship to make their partner believe in the drug happiness delusion. ABOUT ROSS ROSENBERG Ross Rosenberg, M.
