COVID-19 Lab Leak Analysis

What are your thoughts on the analysis/comments in this WSJ article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-science-suggests-a-wuhan-lab-leak-11622995184?mod=hp_opin_pos_2

Alternative funding structure for scientific research

Could we crowdsource it? Or at least take it out of the hands of politicians and various pharmaceuticals and instead put it in the hands of the 100 brightest scientists and let them fight it out and then come to some sort of agreement as to what is the most valid thing to pursue? Like, the market should do this on its own I would think, but the incentive structure is just so ****** as it exists today. Maybe pick Eric Weinstein’s brain on it. Or bring Daniel Schmachtenberger on the podcast. He’s got some wild ideas and has my head spinning.

Peter - what are your thoughts on Aducanumab and would you start prescribing to patients?

DNS follow-up question regarding women

Michael Rintala, DC in DNS episode spoke a lot about cylinder formed in part by pelvic floor. For women that have had children, often the pelvic floor muscles are compromised, and/or there is some abdominal diastasis. Are there any considerations for women in this situation regarding how DNS can be used?

Cancer among bodybuilders

Why are we not hearing of more cancer cases among (professional) bodybuilders (and maybe footballers) given the frequent abuse of steroids, growth hormones, insulin and the insane amount of food these guys eat? I would have thought all of the above pushes mTor, IGF1 etc into overdrive, i.e. creating a breading ground for cancer.
