The WISE study also uncovered that women’s microvascular dysfunction often mimics anxiety, leading to dismissal. This hidden mechanism contributes to delays in diagnosis and underscores NIH’s unique role in gender-specific science.
You are right. It's almost like they say, "You are alright, honey. Go home and take your Xanax and Prozac. Everything will be OK. Your heart is fine. There are no blockages."
Yet huge changes at NIH has potential. Their budget is $40 BILLION for 1 year so they'll have spent about 4 TRILLION in the past 15 years. They fund to tens of thousands of individual exper researchers. Then what happens to the best research? NOTHING unless a patent for a pull/vaccine. WHY? It is because NIH does not fund by disease. There is no team to follow up or to do clinical trials. NO Dementia team coordinating what steps to have researchers do next. NO root causes clinical trials found for ANY of my family with brain disorders. Drug companies and institutions will not do an expensive clinical trial for a cure or a cheap drug that may work. NIH for the FIRST TIME EVER is forming a Parkinson's trial in 2025 and it is lame, 10 experts, 2 PD advocates for their national effort., . AlzPI.org and , Neurommune.org university consortiums researchers are doing what NIH needs to do yet will not fund, They coordinate root causes research.to find cures on a shoestring budget. Infections -HSV, Lyme (3× rate if syphilis, not tested prenatal, invades every tissue ), Bartonella, COVID, mold, lead, polluted water are triggering EVERY known brain disorder per IDSA 2024 conference "The Soence of Alz & Infections" researchers too..
The explicit example used PROVES the NIH does fund by disease and they support research that no one else will do. This post is about the NIH role in showing how heart artery disease is different in women.
I have to say that you get better at communicating with every post you write. It is so pleasant to be treated as a functioning, literate patient. I think I may have been one of those women who would have benefited from OMT in the early 2000’s. I literally had defensive discussions with my physicians because simple blood pressure medications did not help lower my blood pressure. I am happy to report that you are not the only one in helping patients understand. I have a whole group of physicians following your advice in Austin, Tx.
That is great to know. Do you mind letting me know a bit more about their practice? There are so few American clinicians that use this approach. We need to know about each other. Every patient needs to understand their disease, what can be done about it, and why it is worth their time.
Three young women in the Austin Regional Clinic and all the cardiologists at the Heart Hospital of Austin, Tx on North Lamar Street. Dr. Peter Nguyen put in my stents, and my lead cardiologist at ARC is Dr. Faiza Choudhry. My grandson is an ER nurse at the Heart Hospital. The Heart Hospital is part of St. David’s. I wish I could afford generic Jardiance. Maybe next year. I can look up more names if you want.
Bill: YOU don't know. You look a bit silly with such proclamations made with your having NO DATA:
"... Cutting funding to the NIH means that studies that are important to taxpayers like women will not be done. Only studies with the potential to make even more money for wealthy people will be done ... "
While the researchers did great, my point is that NIH has no disease focus, not that no researcher is finding disease etiology. There is no HEART team at NIH, no CANCER team, no DEMENTIA team, no BRAIN team. There is now for the 1st ever, a Parkinson's Disease team as described. Perhaps there is starting an autism team yet that seem sporadic. The heart artery research will get put in a database if we are lucky. Half the outcomes of clinical trials paid for with taxpayer money never get published so the next researcher cannot follow up knowing the results. The researcher may decide to pursue the topic again and again or may not. The researcher may have a team of other universities or may not. The NIH does not fund by disease. I have 2 emails from them telling me that they fund only by researchers. A good example, a boy with Lyme we know is deaf in one ear. I searched all the databases that NIH said they publish their research on and found that over $7 million spent yet ZERO results are published in RePorter/RePort, clinicaltrials.gov, Pub Med. Even when research is great, could save lives and is in the 45% published for future researchers, it stops there from NIH perspective. No one at NIH says let's follow up Eva Sapi's findings on Lyme and cancer, on Judith Miklossy's findings "Alzheimer's is a Neurospirochetosis...meets Hill's and Koch's postulates" from treponema denticola and borrelia spirochetes, on Neil Spector's findings of Lyme spirochetes changing forms, persisting, being very similar to syphilis spirochetes. Only when AlzPi.org and others followed up was it confirmed that amyloid, tau, protein misfolding is triggered by infections like HSV and Lyme. NIH/NINH reply to my request to investigate Lyme as the cause of brain disorders was that they fund the researcher, not the disease. A paradigm change starts with awareness, join Physicians for PANS/PANDAS and my #BRAINDAY both on Oct 9th to repost and have local events.
I truly pray for our country that I love that isn’t perfect but where we are headed is dangerous and run by fruitcakes that weaponize data and information to suit their agenda.
My chest pain is still being dismissed as though it's all in my head. I have nitroglycerin on hand if I need it but my cardiologist told me last time I saw him to stop taking ASA and come back IF I need to. So I still feel like I am not being heard.
I have found women to be extremely receptive when you treat them with respect, give them credit for having enough sense to understand, and provide them with information they can act on. I have helped dozens of women overcome their repeated chest pain and achieve much better physical function.

Thanks, again, Bill, for making this critical argument for why defending research has deadly consequences.
If you like it, I feel like I am on the right track. Thanks, Robert

So happy I have Kaiser which still uses the methods you discuss for hearts!
My chest pain is still being dismissed as though it's all in my head. I have nitroglycerin on hand if I need it but my cardiologist told me last time I saw him to stop taking ASA and come back IF I need to. So I still feel like I am not being heard.
You can fund the research, but unless women are interested enough to do anything about it, it is all for naught.
I have found women to be extremely receptive when you treat them with respect, give them credit for having enough sense to understand, and provide them with information they can act on. I have helped dozens of women overcome their repeated chest pain and achieve much better physical function.
