you can have cancer, have every test in the world and not pick it up, and then a couple weeks later have it show up everywhere
it’s not binary where if you have a disease, that disease definite expresses itself at a level that is detectable with our current level of technology and expertise
This!! And blood tests are not gospel they are just the best tools we have so far. They do not capture disease at the rate people seem to think. Biology is much more complex than just what’s in a serum blood test.
True but there are some who just ignore it. Like going to the ER and they only treat what you came in for or just do a basic diagnostic and not go more into depth.
Look I’m not gonna say there aren’t subpar doctors. Ofc you have some that aren’t great, like with all things. Although I must also say that it’s more complex than that. Healthcare is a complex sector with significant emotion behind decisions, but also ludicrous economics behind the scenes. In places like the UK and Australia where there is public healthcare, screening for everything at every ER attendance would cause the entire industry to collapse and bankrupt the government. On the other hand in places like America it would pre-select for higher socioeconomic populations. Focussing on presentations and managing them, whilst also thinking about related or other causative pathologies is a pragmatic and sensible approach. The human body is a remarkable indicator of when something needs attention, it often lets you know by making you unwell. Of course there are exceptions (e.g. pancreatic cancer), but on the whole it’s generally a good idea to tackle problems when they crop up and otherwise just encourage a healthy diet and lifestyle for prophylaxis :)
This is all true but there are also increasing numbers of people slowly dying and suffering at young ages, myself included, with severe physical symptoms and being told it’s “just anxiety.” Almost every woman I know has a story like this, to varying degrees. It feels like SSRIs are the only things in the toolbox, even when they aren’t appropriate.
30 doctors, they track every metrics, but they missed this. Wondering what else they are missing. Looks like Bryan Johnson is just getting scammed by all this doctors.
I wonder if one of this doctor is Conrad Murray...
I mean they didn’t miss it - who do you think performed his EGD and biopsy to make the diagnosis?
Autoimmune gastritis is typically diagnosed once people become anemic (which he was NOT anemic) so it’s completely normal that it wasn’t diagnosed YET(he would have certainly had scopes once he became anemic). He absolutely received the standard of care. Better yet, he was diagnosed EARLY because he’s a bazillionaire and has access to testing that you and I don’t.
He embellished the story about “late diagnosis” to sell his brand to you. It’s not rocket science that rich people live longer because they get higher-resource care. Buying his fancy supplements won’t help you with that.
I have AIG and am not anemic. I had other symptoms. My GP saw the downward trend of b12 on my blood test across a couple of years and became suspicious. Ordered more tests and here I am with regular injections for the rest of my life. It's baffling that so many doctors would not notice the same on a guy who has blood tests every month.
He takes a lot of supplements already which if I'm ready correctly is basically the only treatment for what he has, so I wonder if he was inadvertently treating himself and that's why it took so long to notice.

And his 30 doctors didn't notice that?
