In early 2004 Dr. Christopher Jude Lege falsified a thyroid test to be positive for cancer. He is also a CIA agent. He sent one of his other agents into my surgery while I was under and he cut my laryngeal nerve causing me to have trouble breathing and talking. This Dr. did this for my ex husband who is a psychopath and told him lies. This not only make Dr Lege a bad dr. but a stupid one for believing my ex without checking allegations. The suffering didn't stop there he bragged to my ex that he would tear me apart piece by piece until there was nothing left of me. To this day he's kept his word. Dr. Lege paid Dr. J. Douglas Nisbet to cut my urethra off during a hysterectomy and to laugh in my face and to say he destroyed my bladder. In 2012 when Dr. Lege learned I was getting a divorce he got my divorce lawyer to give a less then fair settlement. He also pretended to be a love interest to me. I hadn't know about what he did to me then but I figured it out. In 2013 he kept going to my favorite restaurant and where I worked. He made contact and pretended to be romantically interested in me since the late 1990's. He had CVS pharmacy clinician implant me with a foreign body developed to abuse a terrorist. This is a highly advanced foreign body. It can send thoughts to a computer screen, have access to all your nerves in the body. It was basically developed to torture humans. Dr. Lege has been sending burning, electrical pulses to my brain since April of 2019. It caused me to lose eyesight. I had very good vision my whole life. This man has done all these horrible things to me while pretending to be romantically interested in me. Some time ago Dr. Lege made it known he was going after my ex for lying to him about me. I also figured out he did this to my sister in law who was having an affair with him and she fed lies to him about my brother and me. Dr. Lege isn't the doctor he pretends to be. He got his medical degree to use it to go after people for the government. Beware if your a female patient like myself and my sister in law because he doesn't have any good feelings for women. He enjoys hurting them instead of doing the things men like to do with women. I suspect he really prefers men. He came after me right away for my ex but now that he claims he's going after my ex it's been 12 years. All law enforcement officials have done nothing about his abuse to me. Don't trust this man and don't think he has a kind heart because it's a mask he wears.
I tried to access an article that could be useful for my autistic granddaughter BUT was unable to get passed their privacy agreement It said it was at the bottom of the page but couldn't get to it Therefore i couldn't read this important article
Dr. David Zoeller in Elizabethtown Ky I asked about Ivermectin and he recommended me to get a vaccine and told me not to worry bout it. All his nurses had gotten it. I bet they feel stupid now. I hope every damn person there got vaccine injured
Horrendous Terrible and plain incorrect info on this sight. They said than men can get pregnant and that your skin colour can have an affect on dementia. They also that Indians suffer "hereditary trauma". disgraceful.
Wie unverschämt: man will einen Artikel lesen, widerspricht aber den Cookies...ja dann kann man zwar 10 Artikel ( irgendwelche) aber NICHT diesen - "...sie befinden sich auf dieser Seite...weil Sie...wie wir Ihre Daten verwenden.. .abgelehnt haben
One of the articles I clicked on during my research about O negative blood type says I should avoid certain foods for my blood type, and a large portion of the list tells you to avoid fruits and vegetables, even dairy and grains. Ask any nutritionist and they will tell you that it's complete insanity! The website is a complete joke and should never be relied on for health advice.
Reading about toxic supplements, such as curcumin and green tea makes me vomit. Obviously Big Pharma paid 'Medical"? News.
Super hard to read articles with their annoying and I'm pretty sure illegal cookie banner
It's not medical news it's woke propaganda
fake data, scientifically wrong: medicalnewstoday.com /articles /carbohydrates-are-they-really-essential carbohydrates ARE NOT essential nutrients, are not even nutrients, with one single exception: glucose. And that is one in hundreds. The rest are not nutrients at all. The article is completely misleading, saying that food rich in carbohydrates provide vitamin B which is ridiculous. Most fruits and the richest vegetables in carbs provide the least vitamins B - like B12 or B3
They seem to be paid off when it comes to doctor reviews. As a patient, I am appalled at how some of the top doctors in my area--not to mention the country--as not even reviewed by this bogus site. Yet, these same amazing docs ARE reviewed in OTHER reputable medical outlets.

Many of their articles on psychedelic drugs are littered with factual errors. As an expert in the field, it was extremely disappointing to see things as simple as doses being wildly inaccurate. In particular their n,DMT article which from a brief scan I've already found 5+ factual errors
it's being acquired by an American private company Healthline Media and the content many times goes against more credible sources, like UK's NHS or British Heart Foundation. Its sister site Healthline is partial, and pleases the advertising and whatever products they "sell" under the auspices of "Health to the general public".
Absolute bogus. I’m currently taking a 5 day course of prednisone and I am ridiculously constipated. Medical News Today says “it is highly unlikely you will experience constipation while on Prednisone”. The website crashed my phone as soon as I opened it. I think the only reason this website gets any traffic at all is due to the domain name sounding official. I wouldn’t trust this website to spell its own name!
Cookie policy is as appalling as the journalism, and diverts to a different url.
Nancy Carteron, MD “medically reviewed” an article written about osteoporosis by Caitlin Geng. Sentence 2 states “Although the condition is not reversible….” A few paragraphs further states “Read more to learn whether or not osteoporosis is reversible.” And then the subtitle “can you reverse osteoporosis?” Is followed by “In some cases, a person may be able to reverse osteoporosis.” Which is followed by, “no treatment methods can fully reverse the condition.” and finally we have, “a person can reverse osteoporosis bone loss with certain medications.” Confused? Not me, I’m pretty confident this magazine isn’t worth reading.
Not just not written by medical professionals, but clearly not written by anyone who knows how to google. One of the articles stated that having an ectopic pregnancy increases the chances of losing the baby. Having an ectopic pregnancy doesn't just increase the chance of losing the baby, in vast majority of cases the baby cannot survive and there is a major risk of death of the mother of left untouched. Saying there's an increase of losing the baby is just incorrect and very misleading
